The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Maze of Negro The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XIV. No. 8 RECEIVED APR 6 1923 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW BEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUN FIGHTING OPPOSITION TO THE GREATES NEGRO MOVEMENT IN THE WORLD FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The Universal-Negro Improvement Association has been the one outstanding Negro movement that has presented the real claims of the race to the other races and nations of the world in unmistakable terms. This association has outlined a program of demands that forces the world to recognize that it must reflect a new and different attitude in dealing with the Negro of the present generation. The world also realizes that the demands of the Negro through the Universal Negro Improvement Association are just. For instance, the claim that we make for the redemption of Africa and for the universal emancipation of Negroes cannot be disputed. Realizing this, different sinister agents have been at work endeavoring to undermine and destroy the usefulness of this great association. TRYING TO HARM GREAT ORGANIZATION they have tried in many ways to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but have up to the present failed si. It is notor me to enumerate the methods which have been used to disable this only movement of the Negro race that seeks the race's liberty, the race's freedom; but every one who takes but a cursory glance at things racial will see that the undermining influences operating against the Universal Negro Improvement Association are so many as to make us feel that indeed this great movement must be a thorn in the flesh of the evil doers. HISTORY OF MOVEMENT TO BE WRITTEN in the days to come, when the history of this movement will have been written, many of the intrigues levied against it will be exposed, but for the present, suffice it to say, by way of information for the four hundred million Negroes of the world, that the time has come for us to make a united stand in protection of this organization against the designs of the evil ones. REFUSE TO YIELD UP AFRICA The powers that we refused to yield up Africa to will use every effort, or any method, to destroy the influence of this organization. The capitalists who would enrich themselves out of Africa are also working their game of destruction. All those who are opposed to Negro liberty in every shape and form have their own way of embarrassing the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and now we see, more than ever, the combination of these evil forces working in ALL NEGROES ASKED TO COME TOGETHER FOR UNITED ACTION THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A TOWER OF STRENGTH direct opposition, but what do we care when four hundred million Negroes are united with one common object for one common purpose? NEGROES SHOULD COME TOGETHER The appeal goes out to the world of Negroes to come together now more than ever before; to show a united front to the common enemy who seeks to destroy the race through undermining the influence and power of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. NEGROES PULLING TOGETHER Can Negroes pull together? And the Universal Negro Improvement Association answers "Yes. we shall pull to r. because if we do not, then surely we shall fall separately." THE FUTURE OF THE RACE The future of the race depends upon the acts of the present generation, and those of us who are conscious of ourselves and hold visions of the future cannot but work on, irrespective of the forces operating against us to bring about the desired object of a redeemed country and an emancipated race. THE PLAN OF DESTRUCTION The fight for the existence of the race is indeed a death struggle. To be victorious depends upon the amount of energy and enthusiasm that we put behind our efforts in this generation. There is absolutely no doubt about it that as far as our competitive existence is concerned, that there is but one avenue open to us through the plans of the other fellow, and that is destruction. He realizes that the Negro will in time, if not checked, constitute himself an equal rival in the material accomplishment of the races. This must not be from the enemy's viewpoint, for it has been already decided that the Negro must always occupy an inferior place in the affairs of men, until he is completely exterminated or done away with. TO FIGHT OUR BATTLES Whilst those who plan the destruction of our race argue that way, why should we supply them with the possible means of carrying out their ends? It is for us, being conscious of ourselves, to fight the battles for our own preservation, and it is for that that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, uncompromisingly goes forth to the world, asking that four hundred millions of our blood come together in one solid body, united with one common purpose, of striking a united blow for our complete physical, mental, industrial and political emancipation. The cowards within our ranks falter and fall back in the great conflict, but those of us who can see the future with bold hearts fight on without ceasing, even though the opposition seems so difficult to break down. UNITING HAND TO HAND If we could get Negroes to see eye to eye, and unite hand to hand, there will absolutely be no doubt about the accomplishment of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. FORGETTING PERSONALITIES and throw ourselves into the common melti pot of race destiny? Can we not all fight together with that united pull and that concentrated effort that generally mark the way of human success? APPEAL IS MADE Today the appeal is again made to each and everyone, that we can come together, unite our forces, and march abreast to meet the common foe of race degradation. Give the Universal Negro Improvement Association all the support you can financially and morally. Now is the time we want the financial assistance of each and every member of the race, because the enemy presses on. Your $1, $2, $3 or $5 will help this movement carry on its fight for the checkmating of the enemy in his onslaught against racial progress. Whatsoever help you can give, send it immediately to the Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, to help the great cause. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. NEW YORK, April 3, 1923. P. S. -Let all Branches, Divisions and members again be informed that the Parent Body requests that each and every one send in the 1923 Assessment Tax and all constitutional and financial reports, so as to enable the Executive Council to carry on the work of the organization at this time.

Will Bring Physical Redemption so Negroes—Garvey and Poisson Make Plea for Adherence to the Teachings of Christ. make men live. The large majority of the world upon the "Spirit" the other population profess the doctrine of LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday, April 1, 1923. In keeping with the custom of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to give due admonition to the Christian festivals, today (Easter Day) was celebrated in liberty Hall with special song services and addresses befitting the occasion, both morning and evening the hall was filled to capacity, the members and friends of the New York local calling themselves of the opportunity to hear the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, deliver his usualaster message, stressing the importance of the life, death and resurrection of Christ on the lives of Christian people the world over, and his special appeal to the Negroes of the world to emulate the life and principles of our Sailor, in the pursuit of their program laid down by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the redemption of the race, even if the death and resurrection of Christ brought a spiritual redemption to mankind. The speakers at the evening meeting were Hon. Robert L. Poston, Secretary-General, and, the President-general, Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose addresses were in the nature ofermons, Mr. Poston's text being, "In the Resurrection and the Life; he who believed in me, though he were dead yet shall be live," and Mr. Garvey's text, "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." The scripture lesson was read by Gladys Brentlett Vinton Davis, and the special feature of the musical program as the rendition of the "Hallelujah lorus" by the L. N. L. A. choir, under the able direction of Mr. Arnold J. ord. HON. R. L. POSTON SPEAKS Hon. R. L. Poston, speaking from text, "I am the Resurrection and Life; he who Achieves in me, migh he Were dead yet shall he live in," said: "The fact that the mach are today in the Rohr doe anual or does not render void the level of man the natives in northeast Africa does not render non-lective the words "as you would that an would do unto you do ye likewise to them." As the President-General of this morning, of the life of Christ could be made practical in the lives of men all of the life that contempt us now would be done away with, for three would be peace and absolute peace all around the whole world. Many of us may be scoped and may be weave a narrative and etikhet, but as was said this morning, if you took away from man hisrist what have you to substitute in stead? In the midst of our fight allyship and freedom, in the midst our night for the things that man hold dear, it is right that we are a wise and of the way attained by the man of Nazareth. How or the world has drifted away from the pattern He set for us away back ended? It is true that of He were to come again He would be looked upon as a crazy man. Think of a man when you strike biff on one eye, turning the other eye toward you. When you strike a man today he turns, not the jaw, but it would be a splendid thing if the doctrines of forgiveness, the doctrine of fitfulness, are taught by Christ would be a fit by man down here. I would not have anything against Premier Bonar Law of England if heought the Christ thought. I would have nothing against the Premier of France if his mission to the heart of Malea was a mission of peace and righteousness. Put his mission there is peace; his mission, there is bloodied. Very few things they Christ did in those days did man believe in Christ was meek and humble and he did not have a place to lay his head. As the President Genocide, and if man worked through the world preaching as Christ did and gathering to himself thousands of followers and without a place to live, they would put him in jail and they would crucify him today. In a measure, just as they did in those days, we walked are men today. Christ was meek, but how many men do not put who are meek today? I am not surprised that covened people are somewhat indifferent when it comes to the Bible. It is a splendid book, but I understand in this Western world we have accepted everything the white man has given us, even his God, with his interpretation of that God. Those of us who read and understand we read know how the beautiful doctrine which Christ gave us has been shortened and is so different from the big it was when He suffered upon errors. We know that certain trans-verses have put into the Bible that such serves certain selfish purposes, at is why England can say today we can do more with the pictures of Africa by shipping to them Hitler than we can do by shipping to them gunpowder." They have abused the word God; they have misinterpreted it to their purposes; they could not see it the word of God, properly taught properly understood, will free man make live. Sunday night I said that there is much mystery about Christianity; there is a puzzle about the "Trinity." Most of us will admit that, but there is one safe guide in reading the Bible. Even the words of Christ sometimes confuse us, but there is a safe guide I find throughout the Bible: Study what Christ did; study Christ in action. When He went before the king He did so as a man not bending; when he went into the temple and found the money changers doing the wrong thing He whipped them and ran them out; That was the Christ that I know and the Christ that I understand. That is the part about Christ that connects blind completely with man. Some people have thought that if they go upon the banks of the Nile and utter a prayer to God, the English and the French and all of those folks will get excited and run away. You have got to get a whip, like Christ did. But whips are of style now, and I recommend gunpowder in the name of the Lord, and in doing that I am perfectly in conformity with the pattern that was laid down by the Man of Nazareth. To be meek is wonderful; to be humble is Wonderful. But meekness, and humbleness do not mean that you must lie down and let somebody walk over you. Christ did not do that. When he came up before Pilate and he said to him, "You claim to be the King of the Jews." Christ did not get excited and confused. He simply said, "You said it" in so much so that the man, even though he sentenced Him to death, acknowledged Him as the King of the Jews, because he said to the Jews, "This is the King of the Jews." And the Jews said to him, "Do not say He is the king of the Jews. Say that he said he was the King of the Jews." But Pilate said, "I have said." Such was the man Christ, who would make even his enemies recognize Him. Christ our Lord was not a weakling. He went around, not with his head hung down. He went around fighting the battles of his people, and He fought so hard that even today those of us who are shoer have taken up the fight, and we are "Mother of Africans, at home." Hon. Marcus Garvey speaking from the text: "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." said: We have not have seen this man Christ; we have only heard of him, but because of his wonderful works, because of his glorious triumph we feel that he was not other than the Christ, the Son of God, the spiritual Bodom- of man. Had Christ not crowned his work, with the resurrection we would have passed him up with just ordinary human reason and respect, the same reconeise and respect as we show to men, like Martin Luther, or probably a little more than that, the power and respect we pay to the saints like St Augustine. But Christ placed above them all in his profession of apostolic power, with his triumph over death with the triumph over the grave when he rose from the dead. That was the crowning accomplishment of Christ that more than the Christ, and though 2000 years ago he passed away Christ knew today because of his apostural power. Christ in the past was just an ordinary human being. He was of the common people; he was born of poor parents; he was no different to anyone born of poor parents; he had no special education; he had no special prejudice; he had no special friends to advocate his social interests in the community; he was unknown at that time except to a few men who anticipated that Christ accepted him not in the image of a temporal man, but a humble servant of God. All we know about Christ is what we heard about him. He demonstrated himself and thrust himself upon a world that did not want him. The world refused him, and those who accepted him did so because of his spiritual power in performing miracles and raising a man from the dead. Those who were very different from what others in the day could do. No man before Christ ever raised a man from the dead, and because of his spiritual power and the doctrines which he presented the people turned out to him and demanded that he be kept out of the way. If a man came on the cross today teaching the same doctrine, admiring the same attitude, endeavoring to force himself not the people in the same way, do you know what will happen? As the great doctors, as the great teachers, as the great leaders of society in the time of Christ sought his life, as they presented him supported by the great men before the judgment seat of Pilate, demanding that he be crucified demanding that he be given up to them, even in like manner of Christ came today to preach his doctrine of Christianity and human spiritual redemption, the learned, the leaders of the community would cry out for the imprisonment of this teacher, of this into Christ. In the same way would he be presented, in the same way would he die. We have not changed—the human heart has not changed in 1900 years; the human soul has not changed; we are still gluing in the dark-ground in spiritual darkness, still waiting for the light of the Blessed Redeemer. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 Christianity, but there are few of us who believe in Christ have a real understanding of Christ, and what he wants us to be. Christ was pernament; in anything, he did. Christ was unchangeable; he did not do one thing today and do another thing the next day; he did not feel one way today and another way tomorrow. Christ was always the same; if he loved God he always loved God; if he loved humanity he always loved humanity; if he loved his fellowman he always loved his fellowman. He did not change; he did not love you this minute and hate you the next minute. If we are to accept Christ we must take that much from Christ—that whatsoever we do to humanity must be abiding, must be permanent and not changeable. As we profess this Christianity, this brotherly love, this Fatherhood of God that makes us one we find that hatred, mollice, envy and all those things prevail that Christ never taught us; all these things that Christ never loved. Yet we call ourselves Christians. To be Christians we must be of Christ; we must follow the complete example of Christ; we must live the life of Christ; and if we do not do that, even though we call ourselves Christians, we are no better than the heathen; we are no better than those who never knew Christ. Mr. Garvey on the question of spiritual belief as contrasted with physical belief, and in conclusion said at this Easter time as we face the world professing Christianity and professing a Christian life, he trusted that we should realize that the world around us is spiritual as well as it is physical. NEGRO THROWS BULL IN CROWDED STREET BALTIMORE, March 31: Charging through Saturday afternoon crowds, a bull ran wild in the heart of the shopping district this afternoon, spreading terror among hundreds of women shoppers and pedestrians. Many of the women ran screaming for shelter and the men joined in the chase of the animal. Several blocks away the bull was grabbed by the shoals by a Negro and thrown. One of the pursuers was George Ponkowitz, who ran out from a store battles and coattails, but wearing a white apron, and made a desperate effort to stop the bull. He grabbed the bul by the tail and got such a good bite as the animal dashed from side to side up the street. At the end of four blocks the ball threw Penkowitz against a corn and he lost his hold, but Penkowitz did not give up the chase. He was in the lead when the Negro threw the animal and the chase ended with Penkowitz sitting on the ball's back. The Negro sat on the ball near until the crowd came up. Y. M. C. A.

HAMPTON, Va., April 2- A larger representative and enthusiastic audience of white and colored citizens attended the concert of the Hampton Institute Eleg Club which was recently given in the Academy of Music at Newport News, Va., under the direction of R. Nathuniel Dett, well known Negro composer-planist, who was assisted by three of his pupils—Hurke M. Mathis of Boley, Oka, tenor; Aubrey W. Pankey of Pittsburgh, baritone; and Gerald R. Wilson of Salem, Va., pianist. The thirty members of this glee club and the assisting artists did yeoman missionary service in making white and colored men and women realize the fact that Negroes can master the intricacies of difficult musical compositions and can present a wide range program with artistic finish and extraordinary self-control. The Hampton Institute Glee Club program, which follows, included religious classics, American Negro folk songs and their derivatives and modern compositions, including the work of such Negro composers as Coleridge-Taylor and John W. Work of Field University: Religious Classics—Sanctus (Schubert), From Thy Throne (Gluck), and Reside the Manger (Ancient Carel). Negro Folk songs—Tis Me, Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler, Balm in Glead and Daniel Saw the Stone. Negro Folk song Derivative—Babylon's Falling (Dett), Modern Compositions—Bedouin Song (Foote), Silven Lanterns of the Night (Rodling), With You, Dear (Scott), Her Rose (Combs), Her Drum (Coleridge-Taylor), Old King Cole (Forsyth), Viking Song (Coleridge-Taylor), Lullaby (Work), and On, Hampton (Anonymous). R. Nathaniel Dettel played several of his own cor- including the the Bottoms" suite; Song of the Shrine and Dance of Desire, from "Enchant- ment" suite, and two encores, Mammy (from "Magnolia" suite), and Honey (from "In the Bottoms" suite). Honey also played several accompaniments; Constr Thon Relieve (Giordani), song by Burke M. Mathis; Zion Hallhajuhl (Dett), Poor Me (Dett) and Dinah Knönding Dough (Dett), song by Aubrey W. Pankey. Gerald B. Wilson played the Gavotte in Bminer (Bach) and an encore Arac- besque (Leoschitzky). Luther T. Purvis of Georgetown, S. C., reeded two of Italy's well known Italian diac- poins, "Between Two Lovers" and "Tae Got Her." This was the fifth log concert which the Hampton Institute Gate Club has given this season. The others were given in the Richmond City Auditorium, at the University of Richmond, at the Virginia Medical College and in vignon Hall, Hampton Institute. At Hampton the assisting artist was Clarence Cameron White of Oberlin, who well known Negro composer-vocalist, who made a direct and winning appeal to 3 large audience, with whom he early established cordial relations on account of the beauty of his tone in playing Lygosie (Holm), Plebeianise (Mlynarska), On the Bayon (What), Pizzaatte (Thome), Berencae (Jion) and Scherzo (Van Goen). WAS SIKI ROBBED OF FIGHT? It begins to look as if Rattling Siki was robbed of the decision on points over Mike McTigue at Dublin on St Patrick's Day. The London News says that the light-heavyweight championship did not pass Siki because the articles for the fight did not stipulate, the weight, at which the fighters should enter the ring, and the vice-president of the French Boxing Association says that the title is still retained by Siki because McTigue did not officially challenge Siki and the Federation did not appoint the referee, two conditions which must be observed before the championship title can pass from one fighter to another. Siki entered a protest with the French Boxing Association against awarding the title to McTigue and Georges Carpenter, who was at the cingles, while making it plain that he would have been pleased to see his conquered defeated, termed the decision as "most incomprehensible." Sikh had the best of the time fight all the way until the last round, when McTigue collapsed, and it is said, got the best of it, although Sikh was up and going when the gong rounded to the twentieth round. It looks as if Sikh was sure of winning on points and had his reason for not knocking out his man, perhaps because of the wailke disposition of the Irish in Dublin, and that the referee strained the matter to the breaking point in awarding the fight to McTigual on points. It is significant that Carpenter should think the verdict "most incomprehensible" and we are sure the French Boxing Association "will have to be shown" before it accepts the District as final - Negro Daily Times. NEGRO BOY HERO (Beach Warrior) KNONVILLE, Iowa, March 31. The five-year-old son of James Smith, of this city, proved himself a hero recently, when he dragged his three-year-old and eight-month-old brothers out of their burning home. His father was an the bedside of a dying brother and his mother had gone to the mail box, a quarter of a mile distant. The citizens of the city are making application to the Carnegie Foundation for a medal for the youthful colored hero. PREDICTS WARS FOR AMERICA Farmer Who Forges World Conflict Warms of Strife HERLIN, March 29 - Anton Johanson, the little old Swedish farmer who predicted the World War, now declares the United States will wage five great wars in the next thirty years. One of these will result from compilations in Canada and the other four will be civil wars. Johnson's predictions to date have been accurate. He isn't the average kid of professional feet. His new prophecies have therefore around the greatest interest. His predictions cover the happenings throughout the world for the next thirty years. They tell of great international wars, unprecedented plagues, revolutions and miseries. Among the things Johnson predicted in 1912 were: Belgium would be 'the land in German's coffin.' Great plagues, including 'Spanish an plagueza.' The World War and the defeat of the German forces. New disorders in Ireland **English-Indian War** A great English-Indian war, about 1825, beginning with uprisings in Northern India. The decision will be reached in Delhi and Calcutta, after 25,000,000 have lost their lives. The Indians will literally drive the English into the sea, after which India will tear herself from Britain's grasp and Egypt and Africa will follow her example. Then France and Spain will battle on Spanish soil in 1830. Johnson does not predict which will win. During the next thirty years Germany will witness a series of bloody revolutions, especially in the South-west. Other revolutions are scheduled for England, Russia, Austria, China and overseas colonies. In 1833 France will invade Norway and Russia will overrun Sweden. Great plagues will sweep the world during this time. Tried to Save Kaiser Before the earwaker Johann had his visitions the first as early as 1867. In 1815 he came to Berlin and was received by a dozen professors journalists, clergymen and court bakers. He told them what he had seen. They soffed at him. He attempted to gain an audience with the German hairster and other European riders, but was not received. He visited Chrignage and Stokholm and was sojourned. He returned to his farm, where, September 21, 1917, he handed German fishermen a letter addressed to the hairster, who never received it. He wished to warn the German rider of impending defeat. And now when he has possessed himself accurately during the last decade, his hattenes have begun wading just how much of hairless and permeable the production may come time in the next three decades. THE WEST SIDE FORUM Formed in Chicago, Ill. The forum was convened at the Presbyterian church last Friday, and the following officers were elected: J. Jackson president; J. S.

Jackson, Tifford assistant treasurer; Mrs. Peter Eake, chairman of Ursner Board; Mrs. P. S. V. Washington, chairman. The forum is organized in the interest of the 16,000 members of the tour of the West Side, regardless of their affiliation in any other organization. Our object is to establish a more mutual relationship among ourselves through cooperation with one another in every phase of our existence. For instance, we shall endeavor to mingle among all classes of our people, not to find faith with any group or individual. For we declare that we shall see only the good in all, and in admonishing on our own administering to others we shall be loyal and true, as we would have others he unto us. For the furtherance of these plans we are looking toward our people from a psychological viewpoint, because of the signs of the times we are interested in our young people intellectually and morally. We are interested in the economic and industrial conditions of our people because we are living in a restless age. We realize the importance of mental development and of keener spiritual perception among us. In all of these we shall aim to reach you. For you are a part of us. We shall meet every Friday night in the Presbyterian church, Washington boulevard, at Honey street. We shall be pleased, indeed, to have the general public in our midst. THE WEST SIDE FORUM.

HAMPTON, Va. March 31. The Sophoclean Dramatic Club of Hampton Institute in its recent presentation, in Ogden Hall, before a large and enthustastic audience, of Dr. Henry van Dyke's four-act religious drama, "The House of Rilmon," set a new high standard of student dramatic attainment. The principal roles of this drama—a drama dealing with the valuer of Naaman, a captain of the armies of Damascus, who was the victim of a fatteless wife, and the self-portrait of Ruthnah, a captive maid in Israel, who cared for Naaman in his blindness and her leprosy and who finally brought her master to Elisha for treatment and restoration, were played by George O. White of Alexandria, Va., and Danny B. Churchill of Baltimore, Md. These players were only supported by ten other important characters and by supplementary groups of well-trained soldiers, servants, sentinels, dancers, pilots and citizens, incidental music was furnished by members of the Hampton Institute Orchestra. The costumes and stage settings were appropriate to the period S.B.C. when Assyria was carrying old her rattlesless policy of aggression and when Behudad, the aged king of Damascus, was undecided about accepting the Assyrian challenge of war or her offer of peace with degrading submission. Then it was that Region, high prizes) of the 'House of Rimmon, persuaded Naamar's wife, Tearp, to offer her husband a 'boy cup', which in time brought Naamar, the victorious one in battle, to blindness and leprosy. Naamar's belief in Jehovah and love for her master, however, won the final victory. Naamar at last killed the false priest of Rimmon and accepted Jehovah as his God. Postsequence was added to this drama, not only by the Oriental costumes, but also by the rapid shift of scenes, including night in the garden of Naaman at Damascus, the audience half in Benbadad's palace, the forecourt of the House of Rimman, Naaman tent among the mountains near Samaria, Naaman's camp at night, the inner court of the House imon. Some of the jeering citizens below: "Benbadad," king of Damascus, Willard L. Adams, Prestong Md.; "Rezoon," high priest of the House of Rimman, Leonard McFadden; Fayetteville, N.

Perhaps the most forward-looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students is the "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign, which was begun a few years ago by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and which has since been conducted annually by that organization. When the movement was launched in 1920, a week-known as "Go to High School; Go to College Week" was devoted by the then twenty-six chapters of the fraternity to the conduct of a nationwide campaign to encourage Negro youths to continue their education. In the 1920 campaign 2000 members of the Alpha Phi Alpha, located in various sections of the United States, carried the gospel of "atay" in high school, and go to college" to 500 schools, 700 churches, and to over a half million parents and children. Leaders of the Nation Co-Operate Each year since the first campaign the movement has taken on greater proportions and evidence of its influence in the educational world is seen in the attention given it by national leaders, church organizations and the press. In a letter to Norman L. McCline, national secretary of the fraternity, regarding the "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign, the President of the United States wrote: "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among the colored people is very great and manifestly it can be accomplished quietly through the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people." In an issue of the Pittsburgh Courier, Dean Kelly Miller, under his weekly editorial, "Lest We Forget," stated: "Suffice to the High School Go to College" work is merely suggestive of the wide scale of activity in which such organizations might well engage. The Negro man or woman of the future who falls short of at least a high school education can hardly hope to operate on a high level of service. It should be a reproach to any colored youth within reach of school facilities to be without a high school diploma." Educational Secretaries Adopt Suggestion of "Go to College Day" At a recent meeting of the Education Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, one of the outstanding suggestions adopted at the conference of the secretaries of the Christian Education Movement "arrange for 'Go to College Day" The Chicago Defender in an editorial following the conduct of the first journal Go to High School, Go to College' drive made favorable reference to it and suggested that every parent should take note of the significance of the movement This year the "Girls High School Go to College" campaign will be conducted by the new four-fifth chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha under the direction of Simon S. Booker, general president of the fraternity; Raymond J. Alexander, R. W. Cannon, James W. McGregor and Charles W. Greene, assistant director; Carl J. Murphy, director of the Speakers' Bureau; Nor- man L. Mottier, director of puberty, and Ocear C. Brown director of the Purpose of Strategy. Every chapter of the Corps will have a committee of high school students as the president to have chairs of their local campaign. The plan of the campaign calls for the observance of April 25 as Educational Sunday, in connection with which ministers of all determinations will be invited to participate. April 25 as Conference Day, with memoirs and tributes of public schools, university and other leaders; May 1 as Letter Writing Day, when communications will be sent to students and parents; May 2 as Parent Day, when visits to bonds will be made by members of the fraternity; May 2 and 4 as Grammar School Day and High School Day respectively; May 3 as Banquet Day, when it is helped to have each chap- STOMACH TROUBLES ARE DUE TO ACJDITY Tella Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief for Acid Indigestion Since lied stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gase sourness, stomachache, and nausea, it is necessary to provide nine cases out of ten simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes it to oppressive, burning feeling, sometimes vomiting. The acid irritates and inflames the deflate lining of the stomach. The troubles entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make if bland the acid irritated, and rated Magnolia, a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whifever gas, sourness, or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a simple, painless and inexpensive remedy to use. An anilacid, such as Bisuratid Magnesia which can be obtained from any drugrin in either powder or tablet form, is used in work-property without the aid of artificial digestants. Magnesia comes in several forms, so he certain to ask for and take only Bisuratid Magnesia, which is actually prepared for the whole purpose. ter of the fraternity entertain the members of the senior classes of their local high schools, where addresses will be made to them by local educational leaders; May 6 as Mass Meeting Day, when it is expected that large public meetings will be held in every city in the country, at which addresses will be delivered by outstanding educational leaders. From all indications the gospel of "Go to High School, Go to College" will be heard in every State in the Union, as there are now chapters of members of the Alpha Phi Alpha in practically every city of importance in the United States. 135TH. ST. HARLEM LIBRARY NOTES New Books "P folk Songs, of Many People," v. 2 compiled, by Florence H. Bottorf. The words and music of many folk songs from many lands, from the Greele and Indians of America to Rumania and Chima. Carolina folk-plays, edited by Fredrick H. Koch. These are pioneer plays of North Carolina life, and are wholly native. Five one-act comedies, by Lawrence Languer. These plays have all been produced in New York, either by the Provincedown or the Washington Square Players, and there is a delightful introduction by St. John Erving. "Selected Poems," by Edwin Arlington Robinson. This poet's work is always sincere and artistic, and much of it is inspired. "Getting Ready to Be a Mother," by Caroline C. Van Beacon. The author of this useful book was assistant superintendent at the Johns Hopkins Training School for Nurses. No other recommendation of the book is needed. "Mythics and Legend of China," by E. T. C. Werner. The author was British Consul in Fooseh and he has given us a book that is rich in interest and the illustrations, which are drawn by Chinese artisans, are full of narrative detail. "Black Oxen," by Gertrude Atherton. A striking book by this always original writer. "When Black Meets White," by John Louis Hill. Another small but useful and sincere contribution to race literature. There is entirely too much white heroin worship within the race. The old crowd leaders, that is, those that regard themselves as leaders, are responsible for it. At all gatherings, whether political, industrial or educational, they always refer to some white hero, especially Lincoln. Without holding any brief for the Crisis, the latter was correct on what I now wrote in regard to Lincoln in the July, 1922, issue. It is sad indeed that so many so called educated Negroes do not know that Lincoln was just like the average white man so far as the European race was concerned. These are Lincoln's remarks when he was debating with Stephen Douglas when running for President: "Don't think I'm in favor of making voters or jurors of the Negroes; neither do I believe in racial intermargins; there is a physical difference between the two." After he became President, at the outbreak of the Civil War, these are his remarks in regard to slavery: "If I could save the Union without freeing a single slave, I would, and it could save the Union by freeing part of the slave and leaving the others remain in slavery. Did do that. My object is not to free the slaves, but to save the Union." You seldom hear the so-called Negro leaders of the old school refer to Fredrick Douglas, Paul Lawrence Dumbar, Antonio Macro, Toussaint Luyeret or Deodara Fonseca. They think it is quite an honor to host of the protected devotion of the slaves to their masters and mistresses while the Southern army was out fighting. They don't know that races are like individuals; those who don't stand up for their rights are held in contempt regardless of race. They also inject Lincolnism at every election; they try to make Republicans our friends and Democrats our enemies and want us to believe this. Such is not the case. There is no difference between the two parties on the race issue, the Republican party in particular. Here is the proof, as follows: New York city is Democratic on all issues by 15,000 to 100,000; Philadelphia and Detroit are Republican on about the same majority, yet race prejudice is more strong in Detroit and Philadelphia than in New York city, which is democratic. Conditions are similar in the Middle West. Chicago is Democratic locally by from 25,000 to 30,000. St. Louis is Republican on all issues by from 35,000 to 40,000. It is the Republican bannage of the Middle West, yet race hatred is ten times as strong in St. Louis as in Chicago; not only that, the most hostile newspaper against Negroes in the Middle West, the Chicago Tribune, is the leading Republican paper in this section. The Tribune is able to be owned and controlled by Medill McCormick, United States Senator from Illinois. This same paper upheld the glabber of the Haitian by American marines; yet in spite of this, Roscoe Conkling Simmons, according to his writings in the Defending regards. By strength, I mean strength, sum and the ability to perform all tasks and enjoy all the pleasures of life. If you are weak, you not only cannot and the physical tortures of the disease itself, but you suffer from a consciousness that you strength and personal magnification is gradually but surely slipping away. The horrors of the thought increases as your weakness grows. It has been correctly estimated that one in every ten is afflicted with some form of vital weakness that stops the very tumultuous life. It is ever persistent, drawing continuity and strength himself of the silent offer. It is in need of a beaten up athlete of thoughts that there are thousands of afflicted, suffering all the ravages of weakness, who may never hear of the certainty of relief, and must therefore continue to suffer on in utter despair until the end. WHAT IS HEALTH, VIM AND VITALITY? It is the thing which makes success; it gives that compelling power which sends you forth eager and equipped to meet and overcome all obstacles; it is the thing which gives the young soldier courage to face death; it is the thing which inspires and holds love and faith. I can give you this same vital power. I can restore the vigor and magnification you lost, no matter what art or later indirection may have sapped your strength. The man or woman who bubbles with vital power will exert a pleasing influence upon all with whom they come in contact; women are as naturally attracted as men. Look of vitality is a negative condition, and it even repels. My blood cell treatment sends a great, glowing, health-giving current of vitality into your nerves, blood and organs; it takes all the "kink" out of your back and all the reward out of your makeup; it puts you right up in the "feeling-fine" class and keeps you there. No stimulation, no false results, just a sure return to strength and courage. MEN You know you never will get well without help. Do not complicate your sickness with patent medicine that partly helps you, but leaves you still diseased. When I treat you, you are permanently and completely relieved and strong again. WOMEN Women are the burden-bearers the physician who understand physiological function can say sufferings. If you are suffering with an No matter how long you have been sick or how long you have doctored, call and see me. J.

WASHINGTON, JR., ENTERS POLITICS Son of Late Educator Candidate for City Councilman (Pacific News Bureau.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 31—With a population of 50,000 colored citizens and a possibility of 100,000 in 1920, the colored voters of Los Angeles have decided that they are entitled to a representative in the City Council to protect the millions they have invested in California real estate. In selecting a representative they have chosen the son of the late eminent Dr. Booker T. Washington to represent them at the coming primary. Mr. Booker T. Washington, Jr., a graduate of Tuskegee and Fisk University, came West few years ago seeking new environments, and has become one of the leading colored real estate dealers in California. With Mr. Washington in the City Council and Mr. Fred Roberts in the State Legislature, the colored citizens of California will feel that they have at least secured a part of the political representation to which they are justly entitled as industrious, law-abiding citizens of the great State of California.

Medill McCormick as a friend of the race. Perhaps might be getting paid to write these things. Like in Chicago, out in the suburbs of Hyde Park and Kenwood, where the houses of Negroes are bombed frequently, is a Republican stronghold. Democrat voters, so far as Hyde Park and Kenwood are concerned, are almost as part as chicken tooth. The writer is not a Democrat by any means whatsoever. We must look the facts in the face and strongly remember that white men that is, 33 per cent, of them, are the same so far as race is concerned, no matter if they be Republicans or Democrats. It is the same even in time of war. Notice the strong sentiment in favor of Germany in this country against France in regard to the use of African troops. Not that the Germans had anything against them; they knew the weak point of the Angle-Saxon and struck at it with success. Let us use the kind of diplomacy, and in all wars where only white races are concerned say nothing and remember blood is thicker than water and keep your eyes and your ears open and your mouth closed.

SIKI'S BACKER A FIGHTING MAN Negro Deputy From Senegal Known to Administrative of France as Stickler for Principle PARIS-- Blase Deague the Negro deputy from Senegal, who threw his bat into the middle of the ring when Darring Sila told him he was being hounded by the French Boxing Federation because of his color, is known to the entire quantitative organization of France as a first class fighting man when a question of principle is, or seems to be, involved. Deputy Deague has announced that he will continue his campaign in favor of his fellow Senegalese. Deague was born 50 years ago in Goree, a little bit of a Peck in the South Atlantic off the coast of West Africa. A wealthy relative sent him to Paris to be educated and a few years later he was in Senegal in the catering service. He found himself unlikely in Madagascar, where he showed his courage to which no one Galileo.

ARE YOU STRONG FOR THE RACE? By DR. B. S. HERBEN. Of the New York Tuberculosis Association Do you know that according to population more colored people die in a year than white people? You are proud of your race and of the members of it who have done great things. You are proud of what it is going to accomplish for the good of the world. Did you ever do anything to make your race a stronger one? Did you ever stop to think that by keeping yourself and your family strong and healthy you will do a lot toward making your race a better one? How can you make yourself healthier? 1. By keeping your homes and your bodies clean. (Disease hides in dirt.) 2. By getting fresh air indoors and out. (Disease germs do not like fresh air) 3. Get eight to ten hours' sleep a night and sleep with the windows open. 4. Exercise every day in the open and, if possible, in an hour when you can be in the sunshine. Some germs are killed by sunlight, and none of them like it. 5. Eat the right kind of food. You should have a cereal every day. Have either meat or fish or eggs or cheese every day. Milk could take the place of some of these things, for milk is the most perfect food of all. One glass of milk costs only six cents can do your body as much good as a piece of meat that costs ten cents. 6. See that you have no bad teeth Germs live in the holes of your teeth. Clean your teeth after meals every day. 7. Every night, grab your tooth with warm water to which you have added a big pinch of baking soda. Germs live in your mouth; this helps to get rid of them. 8. Never cough ever allow others to cough or sneeze without covering the mouth with a handkerchief. 9. Never put anywhere except into the handkerchief or into a cloth which can be burned. 10. If you keep these sample rules, you will help to save yourself much suffering and much money, and you may save your life. 11. Cut off these rules and put them where your friends can read them when they come to see you. It may mean that you will save their life.

GARCIA UP FOR SENTENCE One friend Eli Garcia was brought before the bar of Justice last Friday to be sentenced for the crime of petty bribery, of which he was found guilty a week or so ago. "It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. Garcia, who was the Auditor General for the U. N. L. A., applauded a bugle check over on the Chancellor at Headquarters, amounting to forty ($10,000) dollars, byashing some himself from some monies the Chancellor had on his desk. Mr. Garcia was on probation for the last six days, the judge who tried him wanted his books thoroughly investigated before sentencing him. The officer who did the investigating said that there was a shorting of about the thousand dollars caused by the Attorney General's department. Mr. Garcia's lawyer, who is a white man, resorted to the method methods that could be used by a man who is supposed to be a defender of the right, by blockaging the character of another to clear that of his client, but such things in the sight of God will not work very well. "I shall see what will, so soon, when Mr. Garcia will be brought back for that, there being a more rigid investigation requested by the court.

No, Adina was not in the kitchen. She was outside in the corridor listening to everything her mistress was saying. Her mulatto complexion changed from pink to scarlet and scarlet to pink, black to brown and back again. It turned all sorts of colors. She held her pregnant sister tight in her arms, and when she answered her voice sounded as if she was away off in the parlor somewhere. She tiptoed a few feet away and then came back shuffling and fuming if she was hastening to answer her. "Yes'm." "I was just telling your sister here that I'd have to get another servant if you went and stayed with her during her confinement. Can you hear me, Dina?" "And I know you won't leave me after all I've done for you—after all the money I spent on you this summer. I know that. But here's what I will do, Dina. The day your sister gets sicks you can go on over for a few minutes and come right on back, as I am expecting that daughter of mine, and I have got to have a servant to tend to things around the house." The lady with the pink checks sighed contentedly at the expert manner in which she had maneuvered herself out of the difficulty. She had come to a particularly interesting part of the negligee she was making. She was wrapped up in the intricacies of it. Adina led her sister to the door. She clasped her in her arms and whispered condolingly: "Sis, don't you worry. Miss Woolsey thinks she's going to make a slave out of me simply because she took me on a trunky old trip down to Waynesville. But she's got another think coming. I didn't ask her for no trip. The hell I did! Enjoy myself? Why, we had to go thirty miles to a movie, and the colored folks there simply ain't gottum! Ain't gottum! Everybody I saw was in overalls—crubbing and washing and digging ditches. "She thinks I'm crazy about her old job, but she's got another hit coming. Let her think I like this rotten old junk shop. Let her hit so. I ain't going to wake her up out of her beautiful sleep. Let me go on dreaming." her sister took sick Adina was there, and stayed with the nine days it for three months. MR. LESTER WALTONS article in last Sunday's World is a brilliant piece of reportorial writing. Is a finely descriptive way Mr. Walton gives the readers to whom Harlem is a mystery a kaleidoscopic view of it—its hopes and dreams and aspirations. By far the most important thing in it, to us, is the emphasis laid on the dearth of Negro business; The big legal issue in Harlem is waking the Negro to the realization that it is incumbent upon him to support race business enterprises. Big business is yet an unknown quantity. Harlem's Negro section furious a striking illustration of the impotency and ineffectiveness of numbers unless used as a cohesive force. Larger than Nashville, Tenn., or Des Moines, Ia., in population, it is unable to boast of one race bank, dry goods or clothing store. Three months ago the only shoe store conducted under Negro management failed and went into bankruptcy for lack of support. A haberdashery had previously met a similar fate. Group or race consciousness seems to be more highly developed among foreign born Negroes. They are more clannish. West Indians, Cubans and Porto Ricans conduct more grocery stores and meat markets than the native born, who are successful as operators of real estate, restaurants, hotels, barber shops, cabarets, undertaking establishments and beauty parlors. Seven newspapers and two monthly magazines are published. When the Negro visitor goes to Harlem he invariably looks for elevator office buildings. Instead elevator apartments meet his gas. The spectacle of white storekeepers reaping a financial harvest in a Negro community always excites the wonderment of the Southern Negro, for race enterprises of all kinds flourish in the Southland. The backwardness of Harlem Negroes to establish and maintain a larger number of commercial ventures gives substantiation to the contention of those who assert race progress in business is most marked where prejudice thrives. In New York relations between whites and colored citizens are unusually pleasant. The latter's trade is respectfully solicited and he spends his money wherever he sees fit. Furthermore, as the cost of living is high, his patronage is given to the tradesman whose prices are more in keeping with his pocketbook. This is the crux of the whole matter. Here is a man, neither a lover of Africa nor a hater of Garvey, who unwittingly lets the cat out of the bag—who, in the face of Du Bois and Randolph and Owen, tells the truth—the whole truth about the Negro himself. Think it over. History, long after the smoke of hate and venom and prejudice is blown away, will write it in great big black letters—that Garvey, of all the Negro leaders, did most, attempted most, and got less credit than all! THE AFRICAN MELTING POT THE Cape Argus of Capetown, South Africa, on February 19 published a diary from its London correspondent which graphically described the visit of Sobhuza, Paramount Chief of the Swazis, to King George at Buckingham Palace: Sobhuza presented to his Majesty an address stating that he and the other chiefs had been appointed by the Council of Chiefs and Indunas of the Swazi nation to lay before his Majesty "a humble petition praying on behalf of our nation for the redress of certain grievances" and that the Duke of Devonshire (Secretary of State) had promised that due consideration would be given to the petition, and that he would see them again presently to communicate the reply to their representations. Loyal Greetings "We have been most anxious, before returning to Swaziland, to see your Majesty," the address continued, "to convey personally on behalf of the chiefs and the people of Swaziland our loyal and devoted greeting. We are thankful that your Majesty has been pleased graciously to receive us. We desire on behalf of the Swazi nation to add to his humble address our prayers for long continued health and happiness to your Majesty, her Majesty the Queen and the members of the royal family." His Majesty replied: "Paramount Chief and Chiefs, I have heard your words, and am glad to receive your loyal and devoted greetings on behalf of the Swazi Chiefs and people. I also thank you for your prayers for the welfare of myself, our Majesty the Queen and our children. Your petition has been received by us through my principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, and, as you have been told by him, you will soon receive a reply. I trust that you will be able to tell the Chief Regent, your mother, and the Chiefs and people that your stay in England has been pleasant and instructive to you, and I hope that you will have a safe return to Swaziland. I have spoken, and now bid you good-bye." On Wednesday, two days before their departure from England on the Armadale Castle for South Africa, the Swazi chiefs had a conference with the Duke of Devonshire, Colonial Secretary, at the Colonial Office. The visitors afterwards expressed themselves as satisfied with the interview, although they were told by the Duke that he could not reopen the settlements arrived at after the South African War. At the same time a full explanation was given of the safeguards provided by legislation should the Government of Swaziland be transferred at any time to the Union of South Africa. He made presents to the chiefs and asked the Paramount Chief to accept presents for his mother and grandmother, the former Chief Regent. When the party left the Colonial Office each member of the deputation carried a leather suit case, inscribed with the name of the owner, presented to him by the government as a memento of the visit. This, in the face of the pernicious attempt of the Rt. Hon. Mr. T. G. Mache, former Chief Magistrate, of Johannesburg, to sabbageast the Nationalist Labor party with the astounding reproach that the native African is nothing but a "parasite on European civilization"—this, in the face of the circumstances, is heartening to say the least. I had deserted the languor of the prado to explore the depths of those labyrinthian callecitas one associates instinctively with the mytic lore of brujeria. It was two o'clock in the morning. Along el Avenida Italia old ragged brown women smoking Ghanga weed—"It mek you samht lek a flea"—huddled up against the picturesque dwellings. Taxia filled with carnivalling crowds sped by. Foreign seamen staggered half-drunk out of. Casas Francesas. Doggingon the heat Babbitt and silk-sweatered Myra clung desperately to flasks of honest-to-goodness Bacardi. Bewitching senoritas in opera wraps of white and orange and scintillating brown step out of gorgeous limousines. Nostalgically I dug into the bowels of the dingy callecitas. Something, I don't know what, drew me, led me on. Was it the glamor of the tropical sky, the hot, veluptuous night, the nectar of Felipe's cebada? Or, maybe, the intrigring echo of Mademoiselle's Martinique! Hola, Martinique! as the taxi skiddaddled around the corner? It was all of these and more. Yonder, in those open cafes (doesn't it ever rain in Habana?) scores of youths tranquilly sipt rum and wine and anisette. In the parque scores more sat on benches and softly talked—not of the overwhelming cares of this world, not of the relative fitness of Ambassador Growder, but talk, talk, for the sheet beauty of it. On I drifted. In the middle of every block I saw native laborers sleeping on the piazzas. In dark shadowy halls, black folk, ulcered, leprotes, unwashed, victims of the hideous wiles of brujeria, sang and crooned and rock their knees while they fondled statuettes of the Virgin. Half an hour later I emerged on a boulevard of Andalusian architecture—Ll Pasco Malecon. It overlooked the sea. For miles a wall fringed it. On the wall I sat and dreamt and gazed across the bay at the dark outlines of Morro-Castle. Violet-like was the blueness of the Caribbean. It licked the black rocks at my feet. Above stars of silver glittered in an ebony sky. It was an ideal night: Not a soul was in sight. The paseo was deserted. Reluctantly I tore myself away and started back. I walked as in a nightmare up the silent paseo. In the distance I capped a figure. No, the paseo was not deserted, after all. There was a man coming towards me. He had on sandals and dragged his feet after him as he walked, as if they were swollen. Nearer I closely examined him. He had on a sailor jacket, crocus bag trousers, and a woolen cap pulled over his eyes. I stopped him and asked him to show me the way back. He threw back his head—he had to—to answer me. I could not see his eyes. I saw, or thought I saw, two bits of coal blazing at me. No mistake about his cheeks, however. They were round as apples and black as jet. But the amazing thing about my derelict friend was the first words that came out of his mouth, "I am an American, I am. I came from—" He mentioned a rural town in Georgia. On down the boulevard we tramped in silence. He piloted me down to the prado, where, at the edge of a fountain, he rhythmically talked to me. "How long have you been in Cuba?" I asked him. "Oh," he replied, "on to eight years. I left my home town in Georgia about eight years ago. Just eight. I hit it for Florida where I worked in a grease factory. Then I came on here. That was before the war, you know." "In the first place, I like Cuba," he vouchsafed, "it ain't like the States. You ain't got to do no hustling. Of course a lot of people say higgers are shiftless anyhow and all that, but that isn't all. A man who slaves on in front of himself? Now look at me. I ain't got a hell of a lot, but I live just the same. What more do I want? I am happy. I and three other fellows—all of us from back home—the four of us live in a house down by the railroad station and we get along pretty good. Of course, if I had a family, maybe things would be different, but I haven't. Yes, I get a little to do now and then—working on buildings and in factories. I am a plasterer. But there ain't much money in Habana. Six dollars a week. No, there ain't much money in Habana." "But the Spaniards treat you all right, don't they?" "Oh, so-so. I tell you. When I came here first I had a hell of a time. New, green—you know. Called me 'Negro Jamaican.' Sure got it in for the Jamaicans here. Say they bring things down—make labor cheap. But them black folks from Kingston ain't to be blamed. The English government is at fault. Jamaica's got as much chance as Cuba—but it ain't developed. "Yes, now I can jabber the language and I get on all right. I am treated like a regular native. For instance, if I went in to the Hotel Inglaterra or the Hotel Plaza or the Centro Gallego—they wouldn't just let me stand there without asking me what I want and freeze me out, like they do in the States. They'd come to me and I'd get everything I want, like a white man. "I tell you. I meet a lot of fellows and they try to get me on ships to work my way back to the States, but the way I figure it out, I can't see it. I tell 'em nothing doing. Nothing doing. I ain't going to leave Habana. I am not going back to the States. You don't hear of any niggers getting lynched in Habana. Nor any black and white laws—laws for the white folks and laws for the black folks. All look alike in Habana." "Well, there you are! That's how it is in a nut-shell. I ain't got no kick coming. If I am a bum they treat me like a bum. If I am a man they treat me like a man. Its up to me entirely. It is up to me. That's the way it is in Habana." And, quite sepulchrally, I said, yes, yes, yes. Attorney General of the United States Sees No Real Justification for the Dissolution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Uncle Sam's Department of Justice, of impartial vindication and convictions of its office relative to the complaint of DuBois and others concerning Garvey's misuse of the mails with acts of misappropriating funds solicited and the anarchic spirit of the organization, coupled with instance of assassination and several threats of violence, followed perhaps with "disturbance" of the peace and of an announced affiliation with Ku Klux Klan, the Federal department of its wisdom and honor referred the investigation to the State of New York. Racial treachery against the Garvey movement, and engendered largely by rival organizations, may weal an inglorious future for the U. N. I. A. This abortive functioning of niggard competition cannot but stricture organs of vital necessity. Of indiscretion our inventive faculties are short-circuited and our deadselves are found in eddies, segregated from the mainly glories of high sex. Looking into the possibilities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association signaled of an awakened race consciousness—the atten- Thus of an oppressed people whose spirit visiated of universal adjustment, plieded of social necessity, manifested of unique leadership, is victory assured through race loyalty. Impulsed of this racial visioning, Booker T. Washington, endured of an emancipation for our social status, wrought for us an amalgamation of social industry that equalizes our possibilities of universal freedom through applied sciences of social victory. And this substance of faith affectation of things hoped for by and of the white race through thrift of purposes applied evidence of things we see is of a computation that similar triumphs are our possibilities. These fundamentals of psychic truth as evolved of the Washington-Garvey consciousness should convict us of their sociological values. As a logical sequence, Washington fought and won, urged of his convictions, through rigid visioning. And thus he wrought, having had a "little" training. "Marcus Garvey," according to Professor Du Bois, "was born on the northern coast of Jamaica in 1887. He was a poor black boy, has father dying later in the almshouse. He received a little training in the Church of England grammar school, and learned the trade of printing, working for years as foreman of a printing plant. Then he went to Europe and wandered about England and France, working and observing. He had spent enough time in world cities like London to get an idea of world movements, and he honestly believed the backwardness of black people was simply the result of oppression and lack of opportunity." Following said convictions, of honesty, Garvey, from world-wide travel and experience of observation, returned unto his people with his religion of racial emancipation. But our people are indifferent apparently on the score as were their disposition toward the vision and ship of Booker Washington, education program given too drawers of water." Garvey, like Washington, it is only now and then that one or two of us escape from the "crowd" of us and straightaway we cry out, "Treason!" Booker Washington made his escape from the "crowd" of us upon the logical reason of his convictions; that his program was of dire necessity. Thus of this brief review is the "crowd" of our sentimental selves seen treacherously against the "mind" of our leadership possibilities. Of the Garvey movement and our appreciation The Afro-American says, "There is no need of this extreme condemnation." And the Richmond Plant, speaking relative, says, "It seems that Dr. DuBois' purpose is to drive a wedge, so to speak, between the West Indian and American Negroes." In the New York Century Magazine Dr. DuBois delivers a scathing arraignment of this remarkable colored leader: "Permeated all the way through with a contempt for the black man from Jamaica, we have never known the English language to be employed in a more telling manner to express the feeling in the innermost recesses of the heart than is observable in this merciless condemnation of a movement which has attracted the attention of the civilized world." "Back to Africa" in the February issue of the Century Magazine is a fine display" of shrewd scholarship portrayed by Professor Du Bois, who derides the Garvey idea of race emancipation and would set at nought race consciousness struggling as an organism of logical vision. And with this same villainy of tongue of illogical reasoning the Du Bois anitagonism would have destroyed the emancipative vision of Booker Washington. "Back to Africa" is indeed of more value and honor, doing redemptive work of a social empire wherein as subjects we are taxed and of racial voice through government is acclaimed our reasonable representation. Of the fifteen million American Negroes absurdly taxed, having no representation as racial spokesman in either houses of Cdhgress is a colossal repetition of 1776 despotism.

That all of us think is obvious. What do we think? A startling revelation is to discover that the default ideas of those who control and influence human society are the reflected opinions generally met with as if they were original thought. Many things are also done "on the spur of the moment"; the traps readily seen will be avoided in this article and an attempt made to deal with the issue fairly. When, after deep consideration and taking into account the several factors involved, we pass the stage of thinking and commence to feel restless until we start the actual doing of something, how it shall be done is the correct step to be next taken; the pivot from which energy starts. To become a member of a lodge club, society or association whose constitution, by-laws and rules meet the approval of the applicant is a good investment. It will be difficult to find anyone who at some time or another did not belong to some society. Wide awake and on the alert the new member asks himself or herself the personal questions: How is my membership benefiting me? What are the prospects for the present and the outlook for the future? How do the teaching and the principles aid me in solving the problems with which I have to contend? The fundamental beliefs are they reasonable? The things I want to do, does the way how to do them as outlined make a safe guide? The quality and influence of the association and its possibilities when become the deciding factors in keeping the member loyal. These questions openly arrived at and openly answered leave no loopholes for doubt or disappointment. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is here To stimulate thought; it is here to show ELIXIR OF YOUTH IS NO LONGER A MYTH ELIXIR OF YOUTH IS NO LONGER A MYTH New Scientific Discovery Brings Mankind's Dearest Dream to Verge Mankind's oldest, and dearest dream an "elixir of youth" is brought to the vorge of realization by a recent scientific discovery. Actual renewal of the body is not yet possible, but chemists have found an almost magical substance called vigor, regardless of age. Results are attained in less time than by gland operations and are highly satisfactory, according to thousands who have been restored by the new discovery. Vigor cannot be estimated. It virtually brings youth back to the used, besides increasing the powers of younger persons and restoring energy but through disease, exhaustion or natural weakness. Allows the body to recover amazing improvement over night and many users try to a full restoration of vigor within a week. The quick effect is due to what scientists call "cheekenhelle," or, increased activity, "organism" on which vital force depends. The use of this miraculous substance hereof has been confined largely to the practice of famous physicians. However, one of our great laboratories has been a public in a safe, inexpensive table form, known as korex compound, for secret home treatment. To offset the doubts of skeptics, the laboratories treat the compound with the treatment of that it is not to be paid for if it fails.

The usefulness of this association has been challenged very often. The defense has never failed to prove that the position it holds is a unique one. That with the goal it desires always in sight, its attitude is honest. Opinions differ as to the methods in use to gain the general assent of our racial group solidly behind the program. That it is here and has stirred thousands is a fact. What about it? The great forces that have moved men and women at all times find a counterpart in the religious zeal manifested by its members in South America. In New York, where it is difficult for the visitor to use perspective, we find that husbands and wives vie with each other as to the regularity of their attendance. Then again within easy reach of many Liberty halls friends have not been fair to themselves or the association in that they have never gone to a properly directed meeting to hear for their own satisfaction what it is all about. Yet the gripping influence holds and continues to away the masses with its unerring logic on every topic, racial and otherwise. What about it? The way to do anything is to begin it. The how of doing anything is an understanding of all that is required to create the thing. Start with yourself; within you feel all that you want to do. You are what you think you can be. It does not stop there, for the great mule-post is still to be reached; your mind is the solution and the how. What man has done—what man will do are all mind, elements—the forces of nature and her products are the materials man uses in creating the artificial objects of amusement as well as constructing for his convenience and comfort the useful appliances found everywhere. Our institutions are just as human as the men and women that compose them; they reflect dispositions and temperaments the same way as individuals. The searchlight is on the dark corners opening for those who are willing to be told, and guided in the way of right thinking and doing. The guiding lights are spreading their rays far and near; they reveal all sides. This varied commotion culled life. In our haste lest we forget it is wise to recall we have a purpose and a point to make; the how as revealed by the light of understanding is relative to gaining that purpose and making that point. In the intervain we can do ourselves a great service in making how one of the new landmarks to enter our lives to the end that results will be as planned for. The how of doing anything is to begin it. The difference lies in the fact that the mind is prepared to carry out the will by sustaining the action and supplying the energy required to do the thing. The great service rendered at this time by all bodies in opening to the masses, the stored secrets of the ages is to be commended; your duty is to be steadfast and faithful with the new gifts 'no generously distributed. Then instead of thinking of doing or how to do, we build and take one more step with progress.

UNIVERSAL AMERICAN BLACK CHILD HOSPICE CHILD WELFARE DEPT. By GLARA MORGAN, R. N. Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column. Address Child Welfare Department, Negro World, 56 West 135th street, New York City. Alice D. Musselman, in an article under caption "Opportunity in Africa" contributed to the American Journal of Nursing, depicts vividly the unnecessary sufferings endured by our people. All on account of the lack of interest and human sympathy on the part of those in whose power it is to help so much.

She makes an urgent appeal to the doctors and nurses (white) of America. "Come to Africa," she says. "If the routine of your life seems dull, after the months and years in France; come to Africa where real adventure awaits you. Life here is real; the work is appealing; the people are needy; a welcome awaits you." Men and women of this sleeping race of ours, does the above account mean anything to you? Does it act as an antidote to your lethargic condition? Does it energize, you and make you rally to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? We earnestly hope that it does, since by this program, and it only, can the sufferings of our people be assuaged. Question—Is the comforter harmful to the baby? Mrs. G. S. Answer—The "comforter" habit is decidedly a mischievous one and cannot be too strongly condemned. If the child is hungry it is irritating, and disappointing, if it is not hungry it is wicked to keep any infant constantly sucking in all its waking hours, thereby over-exercising the muscles of its mouth and jaw, to say nothing of the dirt and germs picked up by the "comforter" and carried to the child's mouth. The "comforter" is a decided menace to the baby's health, and the sooner present-day mothers realize this the hotter it will be for all concerned. Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column. Address Child Welfare Department, Negro World, 56 West 135th street, New York City. An article appeared sometime ago in the "American Journal of Nursing" entitled "Opportunity in Africa," written by Alice D. Nusselman, graduate of a Pennsylvania training school for nurses. Miss Musselman is stationed in a mission dispensary at Rotfunk, in Sierra Leone, West Africa. In her article she describes vividly the amount of unnecessary suffering endured by our people and the high infant death rate, all for want of notice on the part of those in whose power it is to help so much; she also makes an urgent appeal to the doctors and nurses of America (white). "Come to Africa," she says, "and help teach these people better ways of living and thinking; if the routine of your work seems dull after the months and years in France, come to Africa, where real adventure awaits you. Life here is real; the work is appealing; the people are needy; a welcome awaits you." Members of the Universal African Black Cross! Women of my race! Does this account mean anything to you? Does it remind you of your duty? Does it energize you and render you more eager to stand fast and rally to our great organization and its indomitable leader, knowing that by its program, and that only can the physical and mental sufferings of our people be assuaged? Question: My little girl, 3 years old, weighs twenty-seven pounds; I took her to the doctor for examination; he found nothing wrong with her, except that she is undernourished. Answer: The average weight for a child 3 years old is thirty-one pounds. I would advise you to apply for help at the health class of the Social Service Bureau of the Harlem Hospital. INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION OF NEWSRAPER MEN NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Special)—An exposition of newspaper publishers, authors, printers and members of the printing trade will be held in Nashville February 15 to 23, 1934. This announcement was made here this week by the corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association, who says that such an action was taken at the last annual convention of the newspaper men, which closed its session here on Friday night, February 9. The plans are, according to the corresponding secretary, that every newspaper in the United States will be invited to send at least one bound volume covering one year of their publication to be placed on exhibition here in Nashville. The volume is to be labeled and worded, giving the name of the newspaper, the name of the editor and manager and naming the year that the papers were published. In addition to this, the authors of all Negro publications Are You Living in Fear? Are evil influences affecting your health and hindering your success? Are you lucky?

Varied and many were the reasons given for this large number of our people migrating, for other points other than the Southland, such reasons as seeking higher wages, political suffrage, escaping such law, Jim Crow cars, night riders, inadequate school facilities and seeking better educational opportunities for their children and a genuine and human longing for free air. This unrest among Negroes throughout the South and North, as well, bepeaks progress, in that it shows that our people are discontented and dissatisfied with their present lot in life.

Wavy H Now Poss Beaut Before Greatest of the WHY NOT BE BEAUT BE? A NEW, SAFE BY MODERN CHE A WONDERFUL new discovery now makes a little short of criminal and stolveny for anyone to go through life with ugly, nappy, crinkly hair. How often have we admired and envied the men and women who glided casually through life, admired by everyone on account of their handsome hair and neat appearance, admired by some such attractive and kind person who has taken care of your girl or your man while you stood helpless to prevent. Or perhaps the good looks and snappy appearance of some fellow without half your brains enabled him to get the job which should have been yours. Good Looks Result of Care Did you ever stop to think that people are not born with beautiful hair? Good looking hair is simply the result of a little care. If you want to succeed in modern life YOU MUST LOOK your best. Don't hide your light under a bushel. For many years expert scientists have been experimenting for a preparation which will make the hair soft, long, and wavy, which will not turn the hair red no matter how often it is used and which will do the work in a few minutes without the use of hot combs, fuss or bother. The result of all this experimentation is ZURA KINOUT. People Overjoyed A large stock of Zura Kinkout was laid in when its manufacturers put it out in the market, but even the most optimistic could not anticipate or figure out such an overwhelming response.

M. prescribed an unconditioned, Lawgiver and Science, the long order of the universe—the revolution of our Heavenly Father—we will now try to ascertain the constitution and nature of the human mind, to which the Lawgiver addresses Himself through His established order or revelation. Every human perception consists of three stages, of mental activity—relation, difference, likeness. That is to say, all human knowledge is relative, the product of experience; there are no limate ideas, no a priori conceptions; every possible human thought is its nature and origin and constitution a posteriori, finite, conditioned, live, earth-born, in sensation and sense in the world and life in each human being of the homo s finds himself in all past time, now time, and necessarily in the course. The conviction is thus that human intelligence is in conditioned, absolute the noumenon mannemonon, the realityance, is inconceivable. To this conclusion causative thinker of subscribed.

"The power which the universe manifests to us is utterly insurptable." All objective and subjective things in their substance and genesis are insurptable and its ultimate essence nothing can be known, God, Cause, Space, Time, Infinity, existence and the like are all hidden behind the veil of "the inattainable." The scholar realizes that in all directions his investigations eventually bring him face to face with an insoluble enigma; and he ever more clearly perceives it to be an insoluble enigma, and feelings at all: the greavness and the littleness of the human intellect, its power in dealing with all that comes within the range of experience. BISHOP I. E. GUINN 633 East Slat St. Street, Canton, Connecticut Author and Publisher of Pure Negro HISTORY This book, and all you need— and a Money Order The True History of Slavery From 1691 Up to 1894 and 1894 to 1922. The Negro Past and Future Improvement. One book of this and one book of Bible on the Philippine Black Man 1760 to 1894. A book to produce a new set of Negro Men. A future message for Negro Shiftowners. A message for four hundred millions of its impotence in dealing with all that transcends experience. From this conclusion there is no escape; then whether we analyze the product of thought or the process of thought. The cause-causes causam, thus conditioning the absolute and establishing a relationship for it and thus canceling and denying it, is inevitably present in both the mental process and the mental product. The "who" and "what" of all things escape us despite the utmost exertion of the human mind, but we can apprehend the "how" or the activity or, as we say, the laws of phenomena, and are thus enabled to perceive relationship and its implications as to our well-being of the world within us and the world without us, or, as we call the latter, our environment. When we pass in our mental process from small and concrete, relative objects of perception to large and discreet magnitudes of ultimate attributes we either unconsciously drop in thought part of their attributes or do not think of them at all—either from a more or less symbolic conception or no conception at all. So that we are by the finite and conditioned and relative nature and constitution of the human mind forced to predicate nothing of objects too great or too multitudinous to be mentally represent r we must make our predictions by the help of extremely inadequate representations of such objects—that is to say, by the mere symbols of them. In this way the naive and unsophisticated mind mistakes his symbolic conceptions for real ones and is betrayed into false inferences and to suppose that he has conceived a great variety of things which he has conceived only in this lictious way, and further to confound with these certain things which cannot be conceived in any way. And thus we open the door of the mind to some purely illusive symbols which profess to stand for known things but which really stand for things unknowable in any way. Thus are introduced among our true conceptions of a relative nature the illegitimate and illusive kind and furnishing an instance and illustration of the fallacy of confusion. "There still remains the final question, What must we say concerning that which transcends knowledge? Are we to rest wholly in the consciousness of phenomena?" Is the result of inquiry to exclude utterly from our minds everything but the relative? Or must we believe in something beyond the relative? The answer of pure logic is held to be that by the limits of our intelligence we are rigorously confined within the relative, and that anything transcending the relative can be thought of only as a pure negation or as a nonexistence. "The absolute is conceived merely as a negation of conceivability," writes Sir William Hamilton. "The absolute and infinite," says Mr. Munck, "are thus, like the incomprehensible and imperceptible, names indicating, not of thought or of consciousness, all, but the mere absence of the conditions, under which consciousness is possible." "From each of which extracts may be deduced the conclusion, that since reason cannot warrant us in affirming the positive existence of what is cognizable only as a negation, we cannot naturally affirm the positive existence of anything beyond phenomena." The Fallacy of Relativity Herbert Spencer tries to escape from this inevitable conclusion by means of the doctrine of uniformities of thought as whole and part, equal and unequal, singular and plural, equality and inequality, "and it is admitted," says Herbert Spencer, "that in the same manner, the relative is conceivable as such only by opposition to the irrelevant of Absolute." But Sir William Hamilton effectively disposes of this dictum in the following words: "The relatives certainly suggest each other, but correlations may or may not be equally real and positive. In thought contradictories necessarily imply each other, for the knowledge of contradictories is one. But the reality of one contradictory, so far from guaranteeing the reality of the other, is nothing else than its negation." And Bain in his inductive and deductive logic terms this dictum of Herbert Spencer the fallacy of relativity. No the data of mental philosophy and logic in utter negation of the absolute or unconditioned. Herbert Spencer was not willing to accept this final and inevitable conclusion, though It says Fredrick Harrison, p. 71, the Layman, "Mr. Herbert Spencer and his followers (if he has any since the loss of Mr. Auberon Herbert) persuade themselves that they believe, in an infinite and eternal energy from which all things proceed, but which is the ultimate unknowable. Any or us may agree that this is nearly all we can conceive of the problem of creation; but it carries us a Very little way in dealing with what is the real problem—providence, guidance and sustaining man, and the moral conduct of man's life on earth, science and philosophy in some three thousand years have vaporized the God of Abraham and Moses into an unknowable energy." "And the reason why orthodox religion has become a worn-out convention is that religion persists in repeating the formulas of its ancient creed, even though what was once a living and familiar person has been transcondensed into an incomprehensible postulate of thought." "Having lost forever the God of Abraham and Moses of Bernard and A Kempis, we must go back to find on earth a supreme power with which we can feel in living touch, hour by hour; which attra our human sympathies; for which we can dream of becoming an agent agent, a working member, a real part. That was what religion meant in the ages when religion inspired human life. And religion will never again inspire human life until it has recovered the sense of a supreme power, akin to man, an organic being, within the range of our human understanding, and in magnetic touch with the human heart." Humanity The supreme power on this petty earth but the humanity, which ever since fifty thousand—and it may be one hundred and fifty thousand, years has slowly but inevitably conquered for itself the predominance of all living things on this earth, and the mastery of its material resources. It is the collective stream of civilization—often baffled, constantly misled, grievously sinning against itself from time to time, but in the end victorious, winning certainly no heaven, no millennium of the saints. But gradually over great epochs rising to a better and a better world. * * * The whole of this volume is a treatise on the various aspects and uses of humanity as the central object of a working religion. Not a religion as conceived by an Arab medicine man in the desert, or a monk in his desolate cell—and this is the type of religion conceived only by a fraction of the human race in comparatively recent ages—but religion more akim to the religion of patriotism, as conceived by a Leonidas, a Socrates, a Dectus, a Marcus Aurelius—or by a Turgot, a Washington, or Condorcet. Patriotism, in modern and in ancient times, has often kindled the heroism of religious fervor. Fatherland has had martyrns as true and pure as ever had the church. The religion of humanity means a glorified patriotism purified from all trivial self-interest, so broadened that it is free from all local rivalry, spiritualized to a sense of communion with an unfathomable past and with an inescapable future. * * So long as the human race believed itself to be in direct touch with the powers of the universe—whether by a caste of priests interpreting the will of heaven, of sun and moon—by revelation in sacred books—by the incarnation of deities, heroes, or of the Son of God—by the divine inspiration of a Confucius, a Buddha, a Mahomet or again of apostles, Yahweh and Salmon—so long it was possible for national beings to fix their aspirations on the world above and its invisible denizens, and to find spiritual comfort and elevation therein. But though all belief in these beings faded away, and revelation, inspiration, and miraculous incarnations were found to be human dreams, and the divine beings to be inventions of the human imagination—then the only real power left in which man could faithfully believe and trust, and feel a practical inspiration war the humanity to which he owed life, and everything he valued and into which he might hope in the end to be absorbed. To the feeble, erring, ignorant individual man or woman, in the loneliness of self-pity and abandon, the humility which is the outcome of perfections of progressive civilization in a truly gracious, supernate, majestic providence." * * * "A Confession of Faith," Page 32: "The Creed of a Leaner," Diary of Frederic Harrison, January 15th, Conversion to Positivism." I believe that before all things needful, beyond all else is true religion. This only can give wisdom, happiness, and goodness to men, and a nobler life to mankind. Nothing but this can sustain, guide and satisfy all lives, control all character, and unite all men. True religion alone must rule in every heart, brain and will, over every people of the whole earth; inspire every thought, hallow every emotion, and be the guide of every act. Thus the soul of each and the souls of all may be held in one accord, and every faculty of every being, and every being of every race may come to join in one; and all may rest in one common faith, each live in the great life, work for the common end, and offer homage to one great Power, above all, in all and for all. Surely they who know and feel this and live thereby do well, and follow right and truth, though their knowledge be uncertain of what they worship and obey, whether they ally by name Osiris, Vishna, Joye, or Thor, Virgin, Humanity or God. What is this true religion? We know not. As yet, it is not. Yet, never, perhaps, than we think. Much is now clear. Much is coming info light. Dimly we may now see a faith guilding all hearts and lives in one. When I contemplate the great harmony, which stretches through men and nature, and that vast whole which lives more, more better. equal laws, in natural concoct, sympathy, and help, I can not help, but recognize one guiding hand, and acknowledge one great Author. All powerful. I know not. All wise. I can not, tell. All good. I dare not say. Yet surely this vast frame does testify to a Power very awful. Its symmetry points to a mind truly sublime. And the perpetual goodness, tenderness and beauty of all breathing things are witness to a goodness truly adorable. Can it ever be that every thought, emotion and effort of man can unite in one save as he acknowledges, adores and serves one who is the center of all things, both man, and brute, and earth, the source of all we honor in man, of all we love, in the things around us, through whom there flows the universal goodness which makes a mother's love and the tenderness of the parent bird—which inspires the joy of all living things and clothes the visible world in loveliness and grace? Therefore, I believe that God is: who made loves and protects man in all things. How then shall we know Him? Do his will? Serve Him? Him. Has He left us without help, without light, without promise? Inspiration, revelation, gospel, is plainly none. The Dichler's rod is past. The oracles are dumb. The ancient legends are cast aside. So, too, are old nitions of innate knowledge, of conscious truth, of natural theology. Scripture and miracles alike are past. Must he his own gospel. He must reveal truth to himself—by himself. He must found or frame his own religion—or he must have none. And is he powerless for this? Is he left helpless? Has he not the strength to live and the mind to learn how to live? Truly, if by a person thought and earnest effort, man can build up the law of his life—learn to know his highest happiness—his best training, his trust duty, then he is thereby fulfilling the law of Him who placed him here; then he is revealing to himself the will of his Creator, and is most truly serving Him with that only service which man can know or perform. It is this—or nothing. If when man knows all he can know of man and of nature, he knows not God; if when he works out his duty in his life, he does not serve Him; if the submission of his whole soul to that highest law and power which he can certainly see and know, is not worship—then are such things not for me. This, indeed, the thoughtful spirit will desire and will do—come what may. Thus will he live in confidence and peace, not swaiting in perplexity, nor weasting in despair—much less turning again to broken Idols. What may his law of life be? Has man yet reached his goal of human existence? Has he proved the real grounds of truth? As I think—yes, Auguste Comte, as I believe, has truly raised this to be the foundation of all life and thought. Ho has given order to the sum of all knowledge—wide enough for all minds—deep enough for all hearts—practical enough for all action. In this now long since I rest in this I live. Through this only do I hope, and work and trust. This is my real, my soul, my adding religion. Much there I do not see. Much is dark, unmeaning, strange. Yet there is enough abundantly clear and firm, whereon to have faith, whereby to live. this frank and humble confession of faith by that wonderful servant of truth, Frederie Harrison, who has entered into the supreme and immortal life of humanity-1 make my own and here publicly avow it and consecrate my life and all that in me is to its promulgation and progress and power "Creed of a Layman." Page 223. "The creed of humanity is not merely the belief that humanity is. That is obvious. It is the belief that man's highest function conflicts in the true understanding of humanity and perfecting humanity through sympathy." Here our whole intellectual nature is supplied with a purpose, and is concentrated on an object. To understand humanity and its conditions is to understand history, moral philosophy, morals, the laws of mind, the laws of progress. To understand the indispensable conditions of humanity is to understand science, the laws of life, the laws of matter, the nature of the earth on which man abides. To perfect humanity is to bring all our knowledge to bear on human life, to utilize science and make knowledge bear fruit for good. Man needs every sired of real knowledge attainable, but he most of all needs it made efficient, co-ordinated and systematized to working harmony. Thus the belief which can alone support a religion of humanity is science—only science grouped around the science of musk and all leading up to that, and one thing more—so ordered that it will enable the human heart and enrich human life. Thus humanity throws across our whole mental range and every process of thought a great central creative principle. It explains man to himself, explains the world of nature and his relation to it, explains to him his duty in the double condition of his own nature and his external surroundings on this planet. But every religion that ever was must have something more than belief. It has some kind of external devotion—worship—commoration—ceremony—thanksgiving. "Some provisional synthesis men must have, whether they choose to call it religion, philosophy or truth. Some organized agency to keep that synthesis together they must have; call it church, education, priesthood, leaders of thought, or spirit of the age." "But the one thing that in positivism represents the saving faith is this: That in the sense of devotion to the vast human whole, of which each of us is an infinitesimal member, there lies the harmonizing principle that can give unity and force to our mind, and nature."

Primes resemble. practices—will be made clear, or will be hereafter built up on their true foundations. Now if there be such a central point of thought and life, it follows as a certain deduction that the first of all our duties is to obtain for ourselves, and procure for others a sound, complete, real education, an education not merely scientific but moral and emotional, and not merely moral but formed into practice and habit. Deeper than all social reforms, before all political institutions, before all forms of government, more vital than any burning question whatever, lies the great want of a true education—an education to make this unity a reality. The sympathetic concentration of our human faculties of brain, sympathy, activity, will not come about by itself or be maintained by itself, by talking about man or ejaculating humanity. It will need a constant systematic education: training of mind, of heart, of habiless. But if there is to be a systematic education there must be trained and organized educators. It would be a delusion, indeed, it would be frivolous, to imagine that is really comprehensive and positive synthesis (a scheme for a oneness of life based on facts) can be maintained by itself without continual, disciplined, organized efforts to sustain it. A systematic education implies organized teaching, and as the education would be a dry, logical, ineffective thing if it were limited to intellectual truth alone, so the organized teaching must extend to the moral and emotional nature; must advise, assist, modify the active, practical and industrial nature as well. If a systematic education means more than the imparting of knowledge—and not surely does—organized teaching must mean more than the lessons of academic professors. It must mean some appeal to our deepest feelings, some forming of the character, some influence over action and habit. I have labored during this hour to reach some tangible results—through the labyrinth of thought by the use of a severe logical method as to our presence of our conception of the unknowable noumenon behind all phenomena; the reality behind all appearance; the insincerable ultimate—absolute—power; whom I chose, to name Our Heavenly Father in our opening lecture—and the Great Lawgiver. And I have presented to you by inference from the observation of the phenomena about us what I chose to term His Will and His Revolution to us as manifested in science—the established order of the universe, which points out to us by unmerging reason the true religion of humanity as the implication of civil law. In our next session we will take up the topic of the origin, nature and growth of the criminal law, as developed under the principle of evolution. I shall in all my lectures upon the law use the laboratory method of inquiry and presentation. Just a word as to this great principle of cognition and, I shall have finished: step by step the notion of evolution by natural law is transforming the whole field of our knowledge and opinion. It is not one order of conception which comes under its influence, but it is the whole sphere of our ideas, and with them the whole system of our invention and combine. Not the physical world alone is now the domain of inductive science, but the moral, the intellectual and the spiritual are being added to its empire. Two co-ordinate ideas pervade the vision of every thinker, physicist or moralist, philosopher or priest. In the physical and the moral world, in the natural and the human are ever seen two forces—unvariable rule and continuous advance; law and action; order and program; these two powers working harmoniously together, and the result, inevitable sequence, orderly movement, irresistible growth. In the physical world, order is most prominent to our eyes; in the moral world it is progress; but both exist as truly in the one as in the other. In the scale of nature, as we rise from the inorganic to the organic, the idea of change becomes ever more distinct, just as when we rise through the gradations of the moral-world the idea of order becomes more difficult to grasp. It was the last task of the astronomer to show equal change even in the grand order of our solar system. It is the crown of philosophy to see immutable law even in the complex action of human life. (Frederic Harrison.) Darwin, 'Buckle and Spencer have confirmed the epochal and monumental work of Auguste Comte, the greatest thinker of modern times.

Because they could not get within fingering distance of the funds of the division, they began to employ the most ignoble agents in their weak endeavor to malign the officers of the division. But no human is able permanently to abuse, truth, for before the honorable Court of the Republic of Panama the officers of Colon Division No. 18 were proven to be honest and upright men, thus showing to the public the true colors of their treacherous accusers. Thus the division, though not cleared of all its entanglements, can boast that it is "coming back to its own." Colon Division No. 18 will be in the near future. I am sure, an eminent brace to the parent body, as it was in the past. The following will prove that we are rising: The 18th instant, being the date of our third anniversary and the termination of our first administration, the president called an election of a new administration on the 5th instant. On the night of the 5th the hall was bequealed by all interested in the U. N. I. A. and its great program, and this meeting met with the greatest success. All the measures of an election were adopted and the necessary officers of the new administration, were nominated and elected in a most elderly manner. To the surprise of the "knockers" of the division, our honorable president, William A. Brooks, was unanimously re-elected to the office of president for the ensuing administration, also many others of the old administration were re-elected to various offices in the new administration. This gave a "pain" to the "knockers" of the division, knowing that no division under the leadership of characters like the undated president, William A. Brooks, and the old third vice-president, C. A. Reid, who is now in the office of first vice-president, can ever go down. The following is the list of officers elected for the present administration: William A. Brooks, president; C. A. Reid, first vice-president; E. A. Bliamy, second vice-president; Mrs. F. Bailey, lady president; Mrs. Maundy Betty, first lady vice-president; Miss L. Alwood, second lady vice-president; Miss Amy Alexander, third lady vice-president; Prof. E. A. Kerr, chairman of Hondary Advisory Board; Mrs. Henry, assistant treasurer; Mrs. Stewart, associate secretary; S. Nombard, treasurer. On the 15th instant, in honor of the members of the old administration, an elaborate banquet was given by the Scientist Produces an Invigorator Superior to Gland-Treatments— Wonderful Power of a Bark From Africa Have you lost your youth, vigor and spice? Does life seem dull and work a grim? Don't worry. Science has pro- vided a superior even to the much discussed gland treatments. Many men and wom- en are now quickly and easily regain- ing lost vim, vigor and vitality in the privacy of their homes. The principal ingredient is an ex- trinsic acid.

SPRING BRINGS WITH IT A LARGER DETERMINATION TO FIGHT FOR AFRIC'S CAUSE following indices of the division: Mona Bolty, Bally, Blackett, Rald and Kenag. A most enjoyable evening was spent. After the feast, which was represented by a menu of the most delicious dishes that could be prepared by human hands, the feeding feet of the dance lover, rambled over our spacious Liberty Hall, keeping time to the music of a famous band. By way of closing, some short and stirring addresses, songs, solos and musical recitals were rendered. Weekly everyone present betrayed signs of regret when the first note of the National Anthem was struck as a sign that such an enjoyable time had to come to a close. On the 18th instant another memorable day was slated on the pages of the history of the division, when the third anniversary of the division was celebrated, also when the officers of the second administration were installed. On this occasion the hall was well filled with eager and enthusiastic members and friends. On the platform were seated the officers and officers-elect of the division, the juveniles and the old choir, under the leadership of Professors Morrison and Williams. The speakers and singers were at their best. Special mention must be made of the addresses of the president, William Brooks: the first vice-president, C. A. Rold; little Miss C. Betty, the eight-year-old wonder, and the officers-elect, also the excellent choir, it is regrettable that I cannot give a synopsis of the addresses delivered, owing to the lack of time and my desire not to monopolize space. The installation of officers was conducted by the chaplain, R. F. Millington, and was carried out with all the ceremonies of such an occasion. The following is the program of the evening: Opening address. President William A. Brooks; song, Miss L. Henry; address, Miss C. Retty; solo Miss Watson; address, C. A. Reid; duet, Mmes. Betty and Brooks; anthem, choir; extra song, 'Welcome, Festal Day' juveniles; installation of officers by Chaplain R. F. Millington; song, choir; prayer for prosperous administration. Chaplain R. F.

I. A. given a boost in spite of all the knockers and Uncle Toms. By JAMES N. NESBITT New Friends and Companies of the First N. Y. U. A. L. After a very hard and rough winter which has almost gone, and the good days of spring are appearing; as we see the green grass beginning to carpet the earth, the roses beginning, to bud in the garden, the trees, both in the park and forest, are starting to blush forth in their new dress of green; and the spring flowers are obeying the call of mother nature, we, of the human family, who are more blessed with wisdom and understanding, feel to the call of dame nature, and our spirits are revived. we throw off the cloak of winter and don the garments of spring, we look to new interest upon the world, and our minds seeker wider activities. One of the ways in which we can provide for the latter, and at the same time benefit ourselves physically, is to join and help swell the ranks of our unit, thereby making us numerically stronger. This can be done, and we have but to put forth some energy to accomplish it. There are some people who belong to organizations and orders and who, as soot as things do, not run an they think, drop, put and nohain. Now among us of the unit there are some of those very same people, especially Yes, a union of all the divisions and chapters in Newport News and vicinity came together for the first time in the history of the work on the peninsula and rendered a joint program on the second Sunday of this month. In spirit and attendance this union meeting was a success. Rev. Godfry, the presiding officer of the union and president of No. 6 division, opened the meeting as usual at 3:30. Even though it was rainy, representation from the different divisions and chapters was well in attendance and there prevailed among them a spirit of good fellowship. The Black Cross nurses, legions and choir of No. 6 division lent color and spirit to the occasion and will do much, it is hoped, to inspire and cement a friendliness of all the U. N. I. A. forces on the peninsula. After the Nineteenth Psalm had been read by Rev. Godfry the program was rendered, as follows: 2Solo Mr. Spread No. 6 division Solo, Mr. Shrub, No. 6 division. Recklation, Miss. Jones, Salter's Creek. Solo, Mrs. Terrell, No. 102 division. Reading, Mrs. L. Johnson, No. 6 division. Selection, No. 6 choir. Solo, F. Ballard, East End. By no means was this the end of the program, for Jefferson Park Chapter came on the scene with a ladies' quartette, its members, Mrs. A. Biggert,Mrs. Hawkins, Miss E. Holland and Miss D. Rylende. These ladies, who are all U. N. Y.A. members, sang in a way that pleased and entertained and those from different sections of the city that were out voiced their opinions by having the quartette sing two selections. After the collection was raised the main speaker, Mr. Spiply, was presented by Rev. Godfry, Mr. Spiply, one of our leading bankers of the city, arose in his quiet, reserved way and spoke at length on the present necessity of Negroes gatting together. He has a special faculty for homely and simple illustrations, and he invariably uses these in bringing home facts of a valuable nature. We will admit that Mr. Spiply is no flowery orator, but when it comes to the process of reasoning from cause to effect we will venture to say that he is in class A. He spoke touchingly on the time when black boys bled and died on the battlefields in the late war in order to make this world a fit place in which to live. Their vivid comparison of the promises and results meted out to black folks everywhere was pathetic, and we will venture to say that very few, if any, who were out did not feel the pathos of this statement. The speaker left with us an assertion to the effect that in order to reach the goal to which we are working it will be necessary for all to lean and rest upon the lower power of "one God, one alm and one destiny." The upon meets on every second Sunday. It is booked to meet with No. 102 division of East End on the so- THE U. N. I. A. IN ST. LUCIA The St. Lucia B. W. I. correspondent of the Barbadades Herald, writing to his paper, says: "I have thy invitation from a friend) attended a few meetings of the U. N. L. A. at their meeting hall in Jeremiah street, and though I do not profess to be a convert, yet I must admit that there are some able members of that association from whose able addresses concerning the colored race there is to be obtained solid food for reflection among present-day colored men. . . . I shall take pleasure in attending their meetings in future, for I am of the opinion that when I shall be dead and gone to rest, education and a new generation will solve the problem of the U. N. L. A. throughout the wide world, or at least the West Indies." in the legion, even among those with uniforms, they come to the hall but they seem to have forgotten that part of the Scripture which says we should reason one with another. We have our meetings once a month and every member has a chance to speak his or her mind by coming out. I think we have a very good staff of officers now who are willing to listen to anything for the good of the units; especially our colonel, who is fearless and constructive, although some of us seem to be too selfish to see it in the person of Col. L. E. Harrigan. He is the only one I know, and when he says we go we. So friends, lets come out and take advantage of the warm days Come out and drill on Friday evenings and on Sunday afternoon at the usual hour, and please don't forget our Sunday afternoon meetings. As you know the second Sunday afternoon in each month has been given to the units, and it for us to co-operate and make it a success, especially from a financial standpoint and will be a great help to the local of which we are part, which has been proven by previous meetings, and let all of the neighboring divisions of the legion do likewise; let us all cooperate in assisting with the work. I feel this will be a great asset to the association. HOW. RUDOLPH SMITH ADDRESSES PERTI-NENT COMMUNICATION TO DIVISIONS BY HON. RUDOLPH E. SMITH Third Assistant President-General The Universal Negro Improvement Association has quite recently taken on a spirit of progress, despite opposition from many sources, which seemingly were and are being engineered by members of alien race groups who do not wish to see Negroes rise to national fame, conducting industrial and commercial enterprises, skillfully managing arts, science, literature and many other things that help in the development of nations and races. Because of the great financial strength behind members of the alien group, who could successfully engineer any destructive scheme financially among oppressed people, certain members of our race who never searched their minds over whenever deplorable conditions prevail within the race, thereby making them become domestic servants or laborers, consciously or unconsciously become victims of certain alien propaganda, accepting from them money to defeat any proposition of improvement launched by Negroes, just for their individual satisfaction, caring not for the destruction it may bring upon the race. Self-Styled Leaders Bringing Destruction to Race I have never in all my life seen such low, mean tricks performed by members of my race until I became connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and therefore had a closer observation in studying conditions affecting the race as a whole. Some, hand-picked Negro leaders, just to get in the limelight and enjoy the handshake of certain members of the other race group, even far as to denounce the ability of their own race by stating that Negroes cannot succeed without the white race's assistance and leadership. This sort of thing reaches our boys and girls aspiring to great heights and tends to discourage any effort on the part of these rising sons and daughters of Ethiopia; but, come what may, these parasites and spineless leaders shall be found out for the New Negroes who question the actions of these sycophants and everywhere they shall be branded as traitors to the cause of a struggling race. Negroes Can Do Great Things Like Any Other Race We cannot help but give credit to the white race for their system of organizations, along with practical methods they apply for the enhancement of their race, but have we ever stopped to think how long it took the white race to build up the civilization they now enjoy? The hardship they endured to reach the zenith of their aspirations should not be overlooked by persons striving to redeem themselves. Because the white race has developed so wonderfully well does not necessarily mean that we who have endured hardship for centuries and now more than ever, having studied in the various institutions of learning, trades and professions) cannot make any progress on our own initiative. What we really need is self-confidence with an energetic effort applied by intelligent minds of the race who can lay a concrete foundation for the rising generation to build upon and thereby enjoy the fruits of our labor. The Great U. N. I. A. Holds Firmly Despite Opposition I am extremely proud to see in my travels so many of our loyal members holding on firmly to the aims and objects of the organization, thereby showing to the world the birth of a new Ethiopian race resurrected by the Great Jehovah, who spiritually guides the Hon. Marcus Garvey to lead this oppressed race to victory. Today in the field despite opposition the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association hold family to the organization, and all persons who make detrimental statements about the organization to impede its progress find themselves talking in the air. Members, for the sake of your children whom you expect to enjoy the fruits of your labor; for the sake of those oppressed everywhere giving for delivery without representation or any other means of protection, being lynched, assaulted and discriminated against, hold fact. Support the organization financially, pay up your dues, loan until it hurts, so that this race may be proclaimed, for failure at this time will be a death blow to all of us. Remember, now more than ever, the Negroes need to be organized, so do your part by the race, and do it well, and your reward shall surely come. Your obedient servant, for Africa's redemption. Capt.

Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to express my thoughts as a member of the Negro race, and in behalf of the great organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association? This great work was originated by the Hon. Marcos Garvey, the Provisional President of Africa about five years ago. I am glad to say and see that the Negro of today is realizing the age that he is living in, and the dark cloud that has been hanging over him is beginning to show its silver lining under the influence of the Hon. Marcos Garvey. Sometimes this question arises in my mind, "Does the Negro know himself?" We have left our future for centuries in the minds and hands of other races, but, since a new scene is on, we must look through the aperture of the black man's eyes for our future civilization. We believe that the world after the teaching of Christianity could treat all men equal; but we realize that this world is a solitary world, and in order to succeed in a solitary world we must know ourselves, spiritually, mentally and physically. When we believe that our duty to assist our falling brothers, when we can see our suffering face depressed and rejected by other races, when we will be prepared to stoop down and lift up our race from falling humanity, then and not until then will we be recognized by the other races. Now let us as we me here of this great race of ones see that we have a civilization, which is an aggregate Negro civilization, and develop Africa for Africans at home and abroad. As to the members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association hold fast to the interest and welfare of it, and ever keep before you the colors, Red, Black and green, and work with all the interest and goal that behoves us to the letterment of the race, and prove ourselves loyal and Would You Like Such a Result? which, if not in the flesh, but in the spirit, we will have the highest praise of many great men, women and children, slaughter to the highest praises to your endeavour, and paris, treasure in the Hes, Marce Gervay, and the Guildford Negro Improvement Association. THE BABIES' HOSPITAL MONTREAL One of the leading the world is slowly learning is that the way to get rid of any evil that attacks humanity is to stop it at the sources. And that source lies with the little ones. Last week while in Wilmington, Del. I visited the babies hospital there. I met six sweet little women that are looking after the children while the mothers are at work. Some of the little ones are sick and they are nursed to health by the loving hands of Miss Yetman, Miss Biggy, Miss Tilden, Miss Miller. These four little women are all trained for that work and the joy they get from their work would make the hardest of hearts leap for joy. Mrs. Susie Cook looks after the food end, which requires science, and the little mother of them all is Miss Jones. I never saw such love as the little gues have for her. The people of Wilmington should be proud of this little woman and help her in every way. Sometimes a word of cheer would mean so much to these dear, sweet women. For, through them we are looking for so much out of the young ones. Forthake the most constantly securing question is that of evolution. The difficulty with it as with most other fundamental issues is that it is misunderstood. In the first place, every educated person, with few exceptions, knows that we should begin with the children; and by doing that we begin to solve great problems. If the children have some kind of Rheumatism A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It In the year of 1852 it was attacked by Musclea and Nub-Acute Rheumatism.

Negroes who are thrifty, Negroes who are progressive, Negroes, who have race pride; do not read trashy newspapers. They want a paper with a solid, inspiring platform hence Manshil Manshil, March 31—The history of the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia through 1,100 years, from 750 B.C. to 114 A.D. has been completed through a detailed outline by observations in books like pyramids in the Anglo-Ethiopian Moedan by the Harvard-Marylebone excavation, headed by Prof. Charles B. Nalmer. The most recent researches of the excavation in the pyramids at Mereo have established that the culture of the Ethiopians stood as an outpost of European civilisation in Middle Africa. Mr. Bolmer said in the report which he had not made. He added that in the case of the Ethiopians a Greek influence was established and that in the evention of a hieroglyphic script of their own was revealed that the Ethiopians were people of genius. The Ethiopians, Dr. Rekelner declared, are not, and were not, African Negroes. He described them as "dark-colored men, in which brown prevails," adding, however, that many individuals show a mixture of black blood. The impression that Ethiopia was governed by a long line of queens married Candace, held in the New Testament and by Pilny and Struho, already weakened by the discovery that the name was only a title meaning queen, was further dispelled by the excavations. It appeared that from 760 B.C. every ruler of Ethiopia was a male, Dr. Rekelner asserted. The five queens buried in the royal cemetery with the country's kings were mothers who had served as regents during the minority of their king-sons, he thought. Kofiankh Amina's Tomb 400 miles Away This latest report from Dr. Relaner had to do principally with discoveries at Morco, which is not far, from Khartum and some 600 miles south of Luxor and the Vail-9 of the Kings, where the discovery of King Tut-ankh-Amen's tomb was recently made. The report picks up the main outline of the history of Ethiopia from 300 B. C., where Dr. Relaner's earlier report of researches at Uapata left off. The capital of Ethiopia was changed from Napata to Meroe at that time. Dr. Relaner, those report, from Napata made it possible for the first time to write the story of Ethiopia from 750 B. C. to B. C. now brings the story of the living in main outline through the living six and one-half centuries up conquest by the Abyssinian after Christ. takes place of Harvard-University and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, has probably been scientific examination and analysis of the fifty royal tombs in the two hill cemeteries of Mercoe, and the resulting determination of the chronological basis for the history of Ethiopia during the Mercoe era, the report inducted. The identification of the tombs with the names of the Kings and Queens buried in them has been completed except in the cases of two, three of the royal persons buried in the north corner.

The work of plumbing together the fragments of altars is yet incomplete; a few more names may still be connected with their pyramids, and the part of the identification of the King's palace to reach a fairly satisfactory conclusion. The custom of sati-burial, according to which the members of the king's household killed themselves or were killed when he died, and were buried in the same tomb, prevailed at Maroc from the second century B. C. onward, pays Dr. Relener. "The great outstanding feature of the history of Ethiopia was that the Ethiopian cultural unit stood as an outpost of Egyptian civilization in Middle Africa." Professor Relener said. "Ethiopia had become thoroughly Egyptianized while it was under the away of Egypt, and the Egyptian influence, though gradually diminishing, remained dominant for hundreds of years. "The Ethiopians were not entirely dependent on Egyptian civilization, but invented a script of their own, as few other nations have done, unique in the form of letters adapted only to the writing of their own peculiar language. The curative was invented first for the practical purposes of daily life, and caused an immediate decline in the knowledge of Egyptian; and when the knowledge of Egyptian hieroglyphica was lost they invented a hieroglyphic script of their own. The genius of the people of Meroo is not to be underestimated. "The excavations also uncovered a few objects of Greek art, a considerable quantity of objects of Hellenistic Roman art, manifestly imported, and some forms of native pottery derived from Hellenistic forms, showing a Greek influence on Ethiopian art. Tomba Therougly Plundered "As always through Ethiopia." Dr. Reisner said, "the burial chambers of every tomb which, we excavated had been usually very completely pounded. The gold objects actually found by the expedition were only those overlooked or dropped by the thieves. "There had been elaborate gilded mummy cases, sometimes with inlaid stones; carved wooden beds and toilet boxes with decorated ivory inlayes, rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, girdles and crowns of gold on the mummies; vessels of alabaster, glass, bronze, silver and pottery in the burial chambers; mirrors, scepters, wand, bowls, arrows, quivers and even fultes laid with the mummy. Evidences were found of all these." The most important objects of local manufacture found by the expedition were the products of the goldsmiths Dr. Reimner sold. These included a series of twenty gold seal rings dating from about 100 B. C. to about 100 A. D., thirty silver seal rings of about the same date, nine pairs of enameled gold buttons, six pairs of pendant earrings of gold or enameled gold, ten necklaces and seven bracelets and ten bracelets or bracelets, including a gold scarab and two finely decorated gold caps from wands.

Founders' Day, bringing anew to the mind all the glorious history, inspiring traditions and great achievements of Wilberforce University, will be celebrated at that institution on the 24th of February. More than at any time in all his history, Wilberforce University needs your help this year. But a little more than a year ago the disastrous fire which destroyed Shorter Hall had left us stunned and stricken but not dismayed. Even before the smoke had lifted or the charred embers had ceased to glow all officials teachers, students, alumni and friends—went to work to help repair the loss, and so vigorously have the forces pushed forward that in the building program more than $125,000 have been raised and expended on that vast work. But the work is not complete and what with the building needs, and the regular current expenses, the demands are more pressing than ever in our history. This year marks the sixteenth anniversary of Wilberforce under the present auspices. Why not help the old school this time in a befitting manner? The teachers have already given largely, but are willing to give again; friends, have contributed generously, but are promising more; the students have sacrificed nobly, but are willing to make greater sacrifices than ever. The roof has been laid over the whole main portion of the new James A. Shorter Hall and on the last day of January these mammoth steel girders that are to uphold the roof of the great auditorium were set in place so that within the next few days the whole structure will be under roof and safe from the ravages of bad weather. Yours for a big Founders' Day rally. J. A. GREGG. President. THE "BIT OF S Notice to All Members of, the ment Association Th and F THE "BIT OF SILVER" FUND We hereby beg to acquaint you with the fact that several of the men who, during the periods of 1919 to 1922, were elected to serve the association under oath as executive officers for the good of the race, and who were voted certain salaries believing that their services to the association and to the race would merit it, but who have no interest in spirit nor in service, have on the basis of the large salaries voted them by the Convention, sued us for balances they have alleged due them. We are now, therefore, appealing to the loyal membership and friends of the association to help the parent, body pay off these men who have resorted to the courts to force the association to pay them on the basis of the high salaries voted them for cause at the Convention. Please subscribe to this fund to pay off these persons who are suing the association that they secure to help and protect and of which they were executive officers the persons singing are: G. E. Stewart, who was elected as Chancellor at $5,000 per annum. He is suing for $2,885.2 two actions contested by U. N. L. A..) Adrian Johnson, who sued for $400 (now on appeal). The Garcia, elected as Auditor General at $3,000 per annum, who has been dismissed for cause, suing for $3,718 (three actions, contested by U. N. L. A..) All members and patrons will subscribe to this fund that in case of judgment against the association those Negroes will be paid their "bills of silver" collected, through judgment from the cause which they swore to defend and help by their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor." Let us quietly pray that the "bills of silver" we subscribe may serve those who receive it as did Judas Iscariot. · THE FUND Brought forward..... $7,520.00 W. R. Stephens, Guard, Ala..... Rev. A.

These ladies have formed themselves into a kind of "mothers' union" and meet in large numbers every Tuesday evening to make reports and plan ways and means for the effectual carrying out of its program. They, particularly the mothers, have pledged themselves to go into the slums of this city and have house-to-house talks with the women of such areas, who through the rotten governmental administration of this island from time to time, coupled with the "hand-to-mouth" wages, have reduced them to a condition in which they feel themselves helpless. To them these ladies carry the message of good cheer and hope and urge the throwing off of their present living of despair and the belief that God made them so, to be the underdogs of white folks from whom they can get no more of the pursuits of life than the pitillence meted out to them, and 'put on the armor of hope, unity, love and race pride, as manufactured by the Universal Negro Improvement Association; and fight the battle for their betterment that the men (rewards, they call them) had backed down from and left them to face and perish.

Their usual meeting came off last Tuesday evening (the 20th), at which, through their invitation, an appreciable number of men attended, who were made to feel the true sense of their duty towards the women of their race—a race of women that stand head and shoulder, as expressed with much fervor by Miss Morris in the course of her address, above all other races, of women the world over. "If you men," said Miss Morris, "could see the things the women of other races have stooped to, and know, as you do, within your heart of hearts, that the lowest down women of your race would never design to do, then you would have known how ennobling are the women of this race of yours, and never would you have neglected or brutalized into misery and serfdom the women of other races."

When the news reached this division through that great organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, The Negro World, that the French government, following closely up the British, had abolished slavery in German East Africa and also in Togoland, all through the noble efforts of the delegates sent to the League of Nations, it was said then by those who attended that meeting that enthulmen ran highest of all the achievements of the Association and never before had they been so inspired to carry on the fight for Afrika's redemption. But tonight, when the President General's message was read telling of the agitation of the natives, of South Africa, and their eagerness to join hands with their brethren across the seas to fight for the entire freedom and emancipation of the race the world over, and the redefinition of their motherland from the hands of aliens, thereby proving the extent to which the U. N. I. A, had penetrated that country. It was admitted by the 400-eqd that filled the hall that this bit, of news had put into the shade all previous ones, and unquestionably if there were among the members, friends and visitors who attended tonight whose faith in the Universal Negro Improvement Association had been in any way arrested or frustrated through the recent editorial attack of the Daily Gleaner by Herbert George Blisse in which he said the "end" of the U.

FIGUEROA, Editor Un manto de purpura envuelve el acardinalado cuerpo de Jesús; una rana, irrigorio emblema del cetro de los reyes, descansa sobre su brazo derecho; una corona de espinas desgarras su freite. El divino Elohá, prosternado en el polvo como el ultimo de los mortales, adora al Salvador en su voluntaria humilidad El Problema de Nuestra Raza en Inglaterra—No Solamente los Norteamericanos Sino que lo Ingleses Dan Demostraciones de Odio—¿Debe el Negro Tolerar el Dominio de Su Propio Pals Por Estos Enemigos de la Raza?—La Unión de Esta Se Impone Para Su Propia Salvación Mi mano reposa desfallecida sobre las cuerdas de mi arpa; mi voz templorosa desfallece . . . No hay poder humano para cantar los sufrimientos de un Dios! Pilatos recobra valor bastante para intentar suultimo llamamiento a la piedad del pueblo. El mismo conduce a Jesus a la plaza, delante del palacio, y exclama: Cada momento, cada dia que transcurre descubrimos nuevas pruebas que justifican el propósito de nuestra organización, la cual durante sus cinco años de existencia se ha afianzado en el principio de que será una cuestión de poco tiempo cuando la raza blanca entera se vera inflamada en contra del Negro y de todos aquellos pueblos débiles y sin organización, los cuales se verán imposibilitados para mantener su posición en la gran lucha por su existencia. —Aquí os le traigo, a fin de deciros una ultima vez que El no merce la muerte. Miraadle. ¿Es la suya la actitud de un criminal delante de sus juices? Los angeles que rodean al Mesias leen sobre su divino rostro los votos que hace por sus discipulos y sus clegidos, de quienes ve la desesperación, y acaban por dispetsarse en su busca para prestarles consuelo. El aspecto de Jesus quebrantado por los sufrimientos, la frente cubierta de sangre y revestido con las insignias de una realeza irrisoria, lejos de entereer al pueblo, aumentan su rabia. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra testifica que el problema de nuestra raza no está simplemente confinado a los Estados Unidos de América sino al universo entero, siendo solamente la falta de nuestra presencia lo que ha prevenido a las demas naciones blancas el tratar al Negro como ha sido tratado en este país. Si hubieramos de colocar el mismo número de elementos de nuestra raza existentes en este país en cualquier nación europea, tendriamos alli el mismo problema racial de hostilidad y de asesinatos. Toda vez que tengamos que depender económicamente del hombre blanco, este nos forzará paulatinamente hacia la pared y la solución de nuestro problema en el futuro no será afectada tanto por la exterminación del Negro por medio de la fuerza armada, sino que lo será por los planes económicos del blanco. Millares de voces' rugen de'nuévo "Crucificadle!" —Hacedlo, si lo osáis; yo le declaro inocente. —Asi hablo Pilatos, alejandose rápidamente. Caifás le sigue; le detiene, y le dice: —Nuestra ley le ha condendo; es menester que miura ese que os llamarse el Ilijo de Dios. Al oir este nombre, el romano sintió un estremecimiento involuntario; volvió hacia Jesús, y conozó alterada pregunto: — De dônde eres? Tenemos ante nosotros una copia del Daily Graphic, periódico que se publica en la ciudad de Londres, Inglaterra, la cual contiene un artículo denominado El Problema Negro Traido a Londres, cuyo articulo reproducimos en parte, no solamente porque afecta directamente los intereses generales de nuestra raza, sino también para contrarrestar la opinión de los que creen en la "bondad de la democracia inglésa" y en que ciertos blancos son mejores que otros en lo que a prejuicio de raza respecta. El Hijo del Hombre permaneció mudo. Ofendido Pilatos, añadió: — Olvidas que tu vida está en mis manos? Y Jesús respondió: —No te tendrias ese poder si Dios no te lo hubiera dado. Sea cali fuere el uso que de el hagas, los que me bnan acusado seran siempre mucho más culpables que tu. Entonces los sacerdotes, enardecidos por la colera que irradiaba del rostro del pretor, gritaron: No nos sorprende lo poco razonable de ciertos pueblos y las injusticias de que somos victimas en cada circunstancia. El inglés, principalmente, tiene contraida una gran deuda de gratitud con el Negro por todo cuanto actualmente noses. La humanidad en general sabe que si britainse se ha constituido en poder con la sangre y riqueza de los Negros, especialmente en Africa y en las Antillas. Mientras estos "cristianos" británicos van a las coloniás a robar y a explotar a nuestro pueblo, asesinándoles por sus propias tierras y sus propias riquezas, vemos que en su país, en Inglaterra, ellos miran al Negro con repugnancia por el mero hecho de que este va allí no con el objeto de explotar sino en persecusión de empleo. He aquí el artículo en referencia: —Si no nos libras de Jesús, no eres el amigo del César; porque cualquiera que se declare rey de un país sometido a los romanos, se rebela contra el César, y invierte la muerte. Pilatos comprendió toda la perfidia de estas palabras. Cobarde, denisasiado cobarde para exponerse a un peligro real por favorceer a un hombre cuya inocencia está demostrada, le abandona a sus enemigos, le escue tremendamente algunas palabras de desden y desprecio, y se retira a su palacio. Y la turba, ebria de gozo y de venganza, prorrumpe en gritos de jubilo y arrastra a Jesús hacia el lugar del suplicio. Klongstock. (Del Daily, Graphic, Londres, Inglaterra, Marzo 6 de 1923) "La troupe negra que hará su aparición en el café Império será la mayor atracción de la temporada oscura londonense; será tan negra como la noche. Quizás las bebidas y el café que se sirvan sean negros, esto es, toda vez que dicha troupe tenga la oportunidad de actuar. El Dogma de un Hombre Libre Hijos sois de un mismo padre, y la misma mader os ha amantanando. ¿Por qué, pues, no os amas los unos a los otros como hermanos? ¿Por qué os tratáis más bien como engenios? Hacemos esta observación porque Lord Decies, un miembro prominente del ayuntamiento de Londres dijo: "Cuando vi la noticia de que una troupe de Negros iba a actuar en el café, creí que habia habido una equivocación. No creo por un momento que el Consejo Municipal de Londres expida tal licencia." Aquel que no anna a su hermano es siete veces maldecido; y aquel que se declara enemigo de su hermano es maldecido setenta veces siete veces. Por eso los tirano de la tierra han siete maldecidos; no han'amado a sus hermanos y hanlos tratado como a enemigos. Sir Percy Simmons, presidente de la comisión de música y teatros, manifestó que cuando la licencia fue recomendada no se estipuló que artistas negros iban a ser empleados y que indudablemente se le daria "bola negra." Amos los unos a los otros y no tendríse que temer a los tiranos de la tierra. Protestas en contra del empleo de artistas negros en los cafés han sido escuchadas en todos los sitios de diversión de Londres. La Federación de Artistas de Varicades ha enviado una comunicación al Consejo Municipal protestando en contra de la expedición de licencias para actos de artistas negros. Una copia de dicha comunicación ha sido también enviada a un gran número de miembros de dicho Consejo. Son fuertes contra vosotros porque no estás unidos, porque no os amáis como hermanos los unos a los otros. No digáis: ese hombre es de un pueblo y yo soy de otro pueblo. Porque los pueblos todos han tenido en la tierra el mismo padre, que es Adán, y tienen en el cielo el mismo padre, que es Dios. Sería una verguenza para el mundo artístico el que se permitiera la importación de negros con este objeto, mientras centenares de artistas británicos estan careciendo por falta de contratos. No tenemos inconveniente el que artistas americanos blancos vengan a Inglaterra, pues el noventa por ciento de los que aquí llegan se unen a nuestra federación y son bienvenidos. Hay sinembargo cierto número de artistas negros quienes reconocen su lugar, pero vemos con gran disgusto el que artistas negros se mesclen en las mesas con los blancos. Si lastimaías un miembro, el cuerpo todo se resienten. Vosotros sois todos un mismo cuerpo; no es posible oprimir a uno de vosotros, sin que en el sean todos oprimidos. Si un lobo se arroja sobre un rebaño, no-lo devora todo entero de una asentada; hace presa de una oveja y la come. Más tarde, renaciendo su apetito, asse de otra, la devora también y así hasta la ultima; porque renace, su apetito sin cesar. Ningun artista blanco trabajaria en un acto con ellos, ninguna artista blanca actuaria en una escena en que un negro tuviera que hacerle el amor o siquiera tocarla. Los negros empleados en la representación alemana Los Amores de Faraon, son realmente artistas blancos." No seis pues como las ovejas, las cuales, cuando el lobo ha arrebatado a una, se espantan un momento y tornan de nuevo tranquilamente a pacer. Porque, presumen, acaso se contente con su primera o con su segunda presa; y a mi ¿que me puede dar de las que devore? Más hierba tendrá mi disposición. Estas manifestaciones del Daily Graphic claramente nos revela el espíritu de odio que el británico tiene en su país para con el Negro; sin embargo ese mismo británico espera un alto grado de amor y obediencia en la madre patria del Negro. En cuánto a su interés económico y político concierne, el británico crec que solamente el tiene derecho a todo aquello que valga la pena y que los demas no pueden reclamar ni siquiera lo necesario para subsistencia En verdad, yo ois lo digo; los que de ese modo piensan en el fondo de su alma, designados están para ser pasto un dia de la Bestia que vive de carne y de sangre. (Lamounis, "Palabras de un creyente", traducidas por LARRA.) La investigación oficial sobre los altos precios del azúcar, ordenada por el presidente Harding, se realizar al darse ordenes al procurador de la unión el distrito de Nueva York para recoger las pruebas contra los especuladores a fin de presentarlas en los jurados federales. La pugha que se recoja en Nueva York será la parte vital de la campaña emprendida por el procurador interino Symour para determinar si el alza en los precios se debe a una conpiración dedictuosa. Los empleados del departamento de justicia, que pondran en acción todo su talento, proyectan acumular rapidamente las pruebas y dar a la luz pública los nombres de los especuladores que han creado los actuales precios ficticios. La investigación oficial será completa, en vista de las noticias recibidas de que se proyecta, hacer subir a veinte centavos la libra de azúcar par antes del verano. Caso de que si suceda, el pueblo norteamericano sufrira una perdida de más de mil millones de dólares a causa de la extorsión. Se están examinando los libros de ciertas firmas azúcareras y se averigua ser cierta la conexión denuncia-ida entre ciertos refinadores de azúcar y algunos proprietarios de plantaciones en Cuba. Algunos de los que dirigen los negocios de las grandes refinarias figuran también en lista como proprietarios de plantaciones en Cuba. Estos individuos perdieron considerablemente durante la depreciación del azúcar hace dos años. En el departamento no hay disposición a dar todavía los nombres de los sospechosos, pues esto multificaría los esfuerzos del gobierno; pero se darán a conocer mi tarde, cuando se haya competido la investigación. Los representantes de la industria de azarizar de remolacha serán también cuestionados sobre el particular y aunque los empleados del departamento de justicia no han dado los nombres de estos titimos en cuanto puedan corroborar el delito denunciado, es evidente que existe el propiso de examinar la cuestion en toda dirección para aplicar la ley a los empleables. El Honore y la Mujer El hombre es la más elevada de las criaturas. La mujer el más sublime de los jícales. Dios hizo para el hombre un trono; para la mujer un altar. El trono exaltá, el altar santifica. El hombre es el cerebro; la mujer el corazón. El cerebro fásica la luz, el corazón produce el amor. La luz fecunda, el amor resucita. El hombre es genio; la mujer rejugel. El genio es innuevable; el angel es indefinible. Se contempla lo infinito, se admira lo inefable. La aspiration del hombre es la suprema gloria; la aspiration de la mujer es la virtud extrema. La gloria hace lo grande, la virtud hace lo divino. El hombre tiene la supremacia; la mujer la preferencia. La supremacia significa la fuerza, la preferencia representa el derecho. El hombre es fuente por la razón la mujer es invencible por las la grimas. La razón conviene, las la grimas comuneven. El hombre es capaz de todos los heróismos, la mujer de todos los martirios. El heróismo cumoblece el martirio suprimiza. El hombre es un cadigo; la mujer un evangelio. El cadigo corrigie el evangelio perfecciona. El hombre es un templo; la mujer es el sagrario. Ante el templo no descubrimos, ante el sagrario no arrodillamos. El hombre piensa; la mujer sucña. Penar es tener en el craneo una larva, sonar es tener en la fronte una aureola. El hombre es un ocano; la mujer es el lago. El ocano tiene la perla que adorna, el lago tiene la poesia que deslubra. El hombre es el águila que vuela; la mujer el ruischer que canta. Volar es dominar el espacio, cantar es conquistar el alma. El hombre tiene un fanal, la conciencia; la mujer una estella, la esperanza. El fanal guila, la esperanza salva. En fin, el hombre está colocado doubled termina la tierra; la mujer doubled concienza el ciclo. Lo Razonable en la Prohibición La respuesta del gobernador Smith al senador Fess de Ohio, sobre la cuestión de la aprobación del memorial legislativo de Nueva York al congreso solicitando la modificación de la ley Volstead para legalizar los vinos ligeros y la cerveza, es un modelo de razon y de temperancier por los que se opone violentamente con la letra de la ley. Cuando el gobernador de Nueva York afirma que la prohibición bajo la interpretación de la ley Volstead no esta siendo observada, afirma solamente lo que todo el mundo con ojos en la cara sabe que es exacto. Cuando dice en efecto que nunca podra ser puesto en observancia, en cuento por la tamaño se refiere a este estado, de nuevo, afirman una verdad reconocida por todas las personas observadas. Hay aquí una sola cuestión en discusión en aspecto práctico. Ha de ser la ley Volstead modificada en el sentido de hacerla más observable, o ha de ser mantenida en el estado de efectiva creciente in observancia con su correspondiente y vasta corrupción y extensa desminoralización y desacatado la ley? Todo lo que la legislatura y el gobernador de Nueva York han solicitado en este sentido es una aplicación de la regla de la razón a esta ley federal. Sólo solicitan "una razonable interpretación del congreso de lo que constituye una bebida embriagante".

No wonder that American diplomacy is run riot of filibustering through vaudeville muddle at wisdom, home and abroad: Viewing the fact of this vite imposition practised upon fifteen million. American Negroes it would have been far better that the Du Bois "group" had they transformed themselves into a "taxation" grievance. The call of manly possibilities would persuade the Negro toward recreating his Fatherland a new world of social equity. Our colonization of Africa through an organization fostered of wakened race consciousness with showing of executive vision is fundamental of new discoveries for men and women of large capacities. "S. O. S." The African is calling for help. C. Kantba Simango, native of East Africa, and a graduate of Hampton Institute and Columbia University, in company with his wife, who is a native of Freetown, Sierra Leone, and who is also a college graduate, speaking recently, said: "The Africans need help in order to develop themselves, but they also have important contributions which they can make to the rest of the world, especially in the field of art and music. Those who go to Africa must have big, generous hearts. Africans are carefully watching American Negroes to see what they will go to help Africa. This is the time that we need the educated Negro to Point Out the Way. Not only all the races have and are taking possession of this, our native domicile. A land of an ancient civilization far more dazzling than the "up to date" of Chewatna boasting. Reputable world history is of logical reason that Ethiopia is of a greater age than that of Egyptia, astonishment. Archeologists of present-day activity are of facts that condone African exploration as being most ancient. Following the wake of recent information the Negro Daily Times' possibly refers the inquisition: "All Christians profess to believe in the reformation of the day I and like everlasting." But perhaps they do not understand the meaning of the words which convey the idea that they profess to be believer. This developments taking place in the Valley of the Kings at Lawson in Egypt, where the tomb of Krow the Nakhsh Amu, after three thousand years of concealment, is being excavated and titled of its significance. Should make Christians reflect upon the significance of the fact and the peculiar name of the Pharaoh and the last words in the Bible as follows: "He which testified to these things saveth, 'Surely I come quickly, Amen'." Even so, come Lord, dear. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, he with you all, Amen." This are attention of the Turk Nakhsh Amu, who have much significance for Child than mankind, more than has been revealed to their wife now. Every day in every way King Tut-Aukh-Amen is becoming more famous. The nearest hotels in the Valley of Kings are crowded, the means of transportation are overaxed, and European royalties are hastening to view the tomb of him who was king when Europeans lived in their huts and trees.

But the thousand years of intercession have pinched and shattered the king's features, withering the down to a bone. But the white cans cannot deny, and that is the had a Negro name. What the first two divisions of the name name not commonly known; but it is a scientific fact that the third part, the "Amen," was the name of an cient Negro god. With his name they began and ended their prayers, and to this day white Christians end their prayers with "Amen." without knowing where the word came from. It is indeed a paradox to find men ending prayers to Christ with the name of a pagan god, especially when that god is a Negro deity." Incessant merits of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its struggles harnessed with our possibilities is sustained of race consciousness. Brooker Washington knew, and so does Garvey, that as leaders of social industry the test of any people is whether or not their vision-policy of social freedom is of necessity, shaping possibilities, through selfhelp that as survival of the fittest, "smart" criticism without contributing the necessary elements of reconstriction, the racial soul of social reform is as the jackass, and the lion, episode. The jackass sought revenge of the lion on the assumption that the lion having apparently of himself made himself king of the forest and that he would have all other animals consider his majesty as being of such the jackass challenged the lion on the score that his thunder like roar was not sufficient to justify his claim of leadership and dominion. Thus as a sequence of jackass criticism the two animals met one day for an initial tryout. The lion roared and roared—creation shoe "That's nothing," said the jac "your voice and manner of shaki is not right—stop your mess, lion to mos." The lion, said, "u right—proceed, sir." "He haw, hee haw, hee haw!" is what the jackass contributed a evidence of his ability as critic "He haw, haw!" In the recor struction of the G. vision evolved of universal id for Negro people is putting a test of our practicability in applying our bits of science and at socializing our energies to the edification of world reform an not rivalry of silly competition Garvey's idea and racial vision of social reform is born of our struggle environment. Thus of necessity is the reason of his vision individuality, striving for morality of industry, and no racial affiliation within a work of "social equality." That the great task of pre- manhood is to universalize hi- race and racial possibilities with cooperative service of love for his work. Linker Washington as world educator served his time and generation well; and so is the divisuality and convictions of Marcus Garvey, who has come of race consciousness through the impregnation of faith—substance hoped for, unto a work of world necessity. Thus, according to our racial faith of co-operation for doing big things, are the possibil- ities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as it is for all other racial organisms of necessity. Thus let us of co-operative heart and with a will and conscience void of offence go forward with words of racial respect and ardent love, for that which is good in the worst of us and, other folks; even our accredited enemies, let us have them, and labor to the end that of us and through us the fruits of the New Commandment maketh life more abundant for all humanity and that of the Christ mind, we shall be perfected unto all good works, glorifying the Author, and Finisher of our faith. Fostered of our environment in a land with new civilization, Christianized of a salvation that saves to the uttermost of our social distress we rise through co-operative lab possibilities of our racial faith. For our birthright and heritage of social struggle is through divine justice avowed of Bible prophecy; the Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto our racial possibilities of soil equation. This is thus our New day of opportunity for university Christian service unto all men every nationality. The spirit of Good Will is indispensably our task at helping ourselves through discipline of social service unto our fellowman. Unto world service of Love, of the New Commandment we are called; not of strife and glory.

Foreigners, in spite of the thousands who visit there annually, are novelties apt the natives seek to obtain a souvenir from every one they see. Jerusalem, the first point of interest I visited in Palestine and the largest and most important city, is situated on four hills, 2,500 feet above the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded on three sides by ravines, the fourth side joining one of the hills with the main range of mountains of the country. It is truly the Golden City, as may be seen by the countless golden domes, spires and minarets of a thousand and more churches, mosques and synagogues glittering and dazzling in the sunlight and the houses of white stone and rough marble silhouetted against the pure sky, representing the residences and business shops of 70,000 Moslems, Jews and Christians. Scores of ill-eyed, crooked, narrow streets mark the paths through the city and lead their way to the enchantment of the Holy Land. Antedating the birth of Christ, Palestine, has been method of religious wars, massacres and destruction, and such that allures and draws one there can be said to have resulted from these wars. In more powerful times progress would have crept in and doubtless out the blemish that remains.

The city of Bethlehem the home of David and the birthplace of Christ is interesting for its Church of the Nativity, created over the birthplace of Christ and containing the resting place of the manger. Here also located the Chapel of Immaculate Bethlehem represents the beginning of the history of Christ and offers a did opportunity for first hand comparison of much similar to His early life.

These are by no means all the wonders of the Holy Land. There are as many, more of lesser, importance, but interesting and related very directly to the more famous biblical historical places. Palestine is wonderful, and though the least of all the lands, it is with influence that penetrates into the furthermost corner of the earth. It is not a beautiful land, but pictureque and possessing all the requisites that go to make beauty—hills and valleys, sloping plateaus and rugged shore lines, barren deserts and verdant meadows. To go there and see the wonders of the past is to receive an unequaled education, to be a master of biblical history and to gain a more clear and comprehensive knowledge of the Christ that was and of the Christianity that is. A trip to the Holy Land and Gift realization of much the Bible speaks of should be inspired to by every one and most certainly by the large number of church men whose chosen field is service and the perpetuation of the teachings of Christ. And such a trip is not impossible. It is within your reach. A trip to Palestine, the wonderful Holy Land, free of all cost, is yours if you determine to earn it. Recorded in Rangan 12: 1; 2. Subject: "How to Begin the Spiritual Life" Had not such transformation of character already taken place in those whom he addressed he could not have termed them as heathen. Change of nature results to those who, during the Global age, present their faithful humanity a living sacrifice. An ideal presented his justified humanity a sacrifice, laying down all right and claim to future human existence, as well as ignoring present human gratification and privileges, rights, etc. "For ye are then begunon of the Spirit and ye are human being are died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Cor. 3.3. Those that changed are reckoned as new creatures and begotten of God, and partakers to that extent of the distire. Mark well the difference between these 'new creatures' and those believers and beethen who are only justified. T. 1. After d. are of the earth, and asge from some of their hopes, ambitions and aims are such as will be fully gratified in the promised restoration of all things mentioned in Acts 3:21. But those of the former race are not of this world, even as Christ is not of this world, and their bible center in things modern where Christ pattern in the right hand of God. This new divine mind is our inheritance of the complete divine nature, mind and body. Some may be a little wrinkled to this expression, a divine body. But we are told that Jesus is the express image of the Father's person, and that the Apostle will be like him and so shall be like him. John 2:29. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. Cor 15:14. We could not imagine either our Divine Father or our Lord Jesus as merely great man without body. There are glorious spiritual bodies, though at dawn you appear how wretched the glory, and shall not, until we also share the divine nature. While the changing of the mind from human to spiritual is a gradual work, the change from human to a spiritual body will not be gradual, but in transitions. In our moment to the transition of an eye of the divine tempus, we. The Pentateuch begins a cycle of the spiritual nature, and summons in order the distance between God and his creatures. We are able to catch only glimpses of the glory of the divine wisdom, power and goodness, as in pictures since he can see some of his mighty works to parallels us. But we may insure and commend the glory of perfect humanity. With these thoughts clearly to mind we are able to appreciate how the change from human to spiritual nature, the freedom of our same moral power over to higher conditions. When a polished in the heavenly body we will have the heavenly powers which belong to that glorious body, and we will have the range of thought and people of power which belong to it. The change of mind from earth to heaven, which the consequent experience here, is the beginning of the nature. It is not a change of brain, nor a miracle in its operation, but it is the will and bent of that are changed. Our will and sentiment represent our individuality; hence, we are transformed and reborn as a spirit belonging to the heavenly nature, when our wills and sentiments are thus changed. Referring again to Isaiah's words, we notice that he does not say: "He not conform yourselves to this world, but transform yourselves into divine likeness. But he says: 'He not conform, but he be transformed.'" This is well expressed, for we do not either conform or transform ourselves, but we do either, submit ourselves to be conformed 'to the world' by the worldly influences, the spirit of the world around us, or submit ourselves to the will, of find to be transformed by heavenly influences exercised by the word of God. By the Associated Negro Pigs) DURHAM, N. C., March 16—The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N. C., has just closed its twenty-fourth successful year of operation, with over $38,000,000 dollars, worth of insurance in force and assets of over $1,500,000. Five of the youngest States in which the company does business—Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Oklahoma, are largely responsible for the splendid record which the company made in 1922. The first three named of these States was entered by the North Carolina Mutual only two years ago. Yet under the direction of table State, managers and the close guidance of Agency Director of George W. Cox, they paid for $2,050,000 worth of ordinary business in the year 1922. The North Carolina Mutual prize for ordinary renewal collections in 1922 was won by a State agent of one of these States, B. G. Olive of Little Rock, Ark, who collected 78 per cent. of his ordinary renewals, in addition, he and his men paid for $450,000 worth of ordinary business and $500,000 worth of industrial business in 1922. State Agent A. J. Toppi of Birmingham, Ala., also made an enviable record. Since June, 1922, he and his son have produced over $45,105 worth of paid for ordinary business and $200,000 worth of paid for industrial business. Like productions were made in Florida and Mississippi. In the former State, State Agent Charles H. Fearing and his agents paid for $140,000 worth of ordinary business and $220,000 worth of industrial business, while State Agent E. J. Garrett of Mississippi, with the help of his men, paid for $175,000 worth of ordinary and $200,000 worth of industrial business. Although Oklahoma did not pay for as large an amount of business as the above mentioned States, it old products over 20 per cent, of the quota allotted it, and paid for $265,000 worth of ordinary business. In consideration of the splendid record made by these States, Vice-President Avery, director of all North Carolina Mutual Agents, is now making a tour through the States of Mississippi Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma. On March 2 he spoke before a public meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Birmingham, Ala. The keynote of his speech was a plan for economic freedom, he showed now well the race had developed the school and the church, but how these institutions were crippled by a lack of funds and opportunities for the expression of the skill with which they had trained thousands of Negro men and women. After leaving Alabama, Vice-President Avery went to Jackson, Miss, where the spoke before the Forum, a club, and a mass meet- ing at Central St. L. Commune, Akz numerous conferences with the North Carolina Mutual agents in Alabama and Mississippi, Vice-President Avery will visit Little Rock, Ark., Oklahoma City and Muskegee, Ohio. The men have been much impressed by his talk as have the people of the commu- nities in which he has stepped. It is expected that as a result of the plans which Vice-President Avery has outlined to the men in the Southwest a larger volume of paid for business will be recorded in 1933 than ever experienced by the North Carolina Mutual. Vice-President Avery will be com- panied on the entire trip by Agro- Director George W. Cox. THE REVOLUTION To the Editor of the Dispatch. Dear Sir, Please permit me space in your valuable paper, of which I am a devoted reader of Ohio's greatest home daily, when to my mind ranks second to ten among the leading dailies of the country, and for this reason I beg permission to interview and challenge and defend the official statements that were made by a certain so-called Southern gentleman, but better promoted by a small and arch Southern ear. Now, this Southern gentleman well knows that he has misrepresented the attitude of the average Southern whitman toward the black man and women in the Southern States as they really exist. Now, I do not know who this gentleman's wife has taken upon himself the authority to make such infamous statement, however, nevertheless, like most Southern gentlemen of this ilk, was too covardly to sign the name in full. We have three letters representing the white and author of the letter, James. H. P. S., appearing in the issue of your editorial columns of Jan. 19, 1923. Every intelligent man, and woman in the United States knows just why "DIE anti-Semitic bell was fought and killed in the Congress of the United States." This famous bill was killed by the Southern Democrats and the co-called lily white Republicans, who have always declared and will continue to proclaim that the Black man has no rights or privileges that he excellency the Southern white gentleman is bound to respect. The Congress of the United States is so dilated with false representations from Dixie until we do not know whether the North has moved down south or the South up geeth. But I would like to inform the gentleman: Mr. "E. P. N." from Dixie, who has made this vengeous attack on the defenseless Afro-American citizens, that we are aware of his aim and actions and also the motive of the appearing of his infamous letter which appeared recently. So, I beseech you to come out from your hiding place with your usual moss colored Dixie lies that your friends Tillman, Vardaman, Hoke Smith, and Bilease, Watson wrote for years until they placed out of existence and wrote their names in full on the pages of American history in disarray. As this Southern tradition please sign your name in full that you may become a candidate for the hall of fame be cause of your cowardly attack upon the 100 per cent. Afro-Americans. My friend, E. P. S. has let the world know that his kin, from Dixie, fought to make a nation during the revolutionary days. We will admit that E. P. S. is truly a historian, but when his kin fought to make this nation was it intended to be a Democracy or an Autocracy that brought about the destruction of the great German nation. But while your noble kin fought so heroically to make this a nation, did they not know that the first man that fell in the defense of this great nation's struggle was an Afro-American, 100 per cent, and not a hyphenate and history will prove it. If there is any doubt about this famous Afro-American hero, Christopher Attuck; it would be well to see the famous monument erected to his memory on the Boston Commons. Not only did your kin fight in the Revolution to make this a nation, but your kin are still fighting to make a nation and they have succeeded, from the looks of conditions in Dixie, by the two million and a half mulattoes they have obtained by compulsory ravishing and concomitant slave system. There is a great deal more that I could inform my friend, Mrs. E. P. S., but space and time will not allow me, but I would like to say in conclusion that I am ready and prepared and would be glad to meet him at any time and debate this rare question which he is trying to make an issue of. I challenge Mr. E. P. S. and am willing to debate this question on its merits so that the North, the East, and the West may learn and know of the Southern man's deceit and hypocrisy. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free—that the only parties that are exercising freedom and liberty in Dixie today is the white man and his Afro-American conculde claves. Sincerely, J. D. SAUCHERS. THE INTER-RACIAL MOVEMENT IN THE SOUTH Secretary Kentucky Inter-racial Commission Like most movements of its land the Inter-racial Movement had its birth in a great crisis. During the war the white and colored people of the South had, in a very remarkable way, forgotten their differences and mated in a supreme effort to win the war. Promises of better things were made to all of our boys, black and white. The Negro soldier appalled these promises at face value. He played well his part in the war. When, upon his return to his homeland these promises were not realized, his heart was filled with bitterness. The lines were more tightly drawn and barriers to his progress seemed more stubborn and relentless than ever. As race posts continue and foothold in a general race conflict gripped the country, a group of white men, considered that the good will and cooperation secured between the news during the war could be perpetual, called into conference a number of representative elected men in the spirit of prayer and supplication, and adopted a platform upon which all could stand. The planner of this platform included practice before the law, the prevention of lynching and the correction of other punishments to the Negroes. Some of the most widely-known people of the South accepted place on the commission, among whom were ministers, college presidents, bishops and capitals. As a later development many of the South's leading women have become associated with the movement. The commission does not pretend to have solved a short cut to the multitude of so have brought into existence a perfect organization, nor does it show that it has found a solution to the more problem that can be committed to the language of George M. Madison. That people are blinded and that to overcome them is not a task for limited sympathies and petty pursuits; that it is a task that can be done by monetary or more organization; that it is a spiritual task, a task to be carried out in the spirit and according to the ethics of the Man of Galilee. These principles emphasize the truth that contact is necessary in the solution of any human problem. Differences are at first minimized, then they disappear. In order that the movement should be motivated by Christian principle the leaders projected a fully organized commission with membership representing thirteen States and headquarters in Atlanta. In addition to this commission each of the thirteen States has a commission directing the work in that State. Some hundred of the twelve hundred counties in the Southern States have organized local committees of representative white and colored people. In thirty-seven years, from 1855 to 1921, there were 437 lynchings in Georgia and only one indictment. In 1921 alone, with eight lynchings twenty-two persons, were indicted, of whom four have been convicted and sent to the penitentiary and fifteen are still to be tried. The evidence in these cases was collected largely by the interracial secretary and committees in Georgia. This is one illustration among many of the effectiveness of the movement: What the commission needs more than anything else is the confidence of the community, white and colored. It seeks the sympathy and co-operation of the members of the churches and social organizations, to the end that his greatest problem confronting the American people today may be settled by the principles of justice and fair play, and according to the teachings of Jesus. THE PLACE WE CALL HOME BY W. H. A. MOORE National Negro Health Week begins on the 1st of next April. This health week is a Tuskegee idea. It is better than a good idea. The door of every Negro home in America should be opened wide to give it a hearty welcome and a clean bed in the gates chamber. Health study is as vital to the race as money study. In making practical application of its accepted principles to the needs of the home, we are going a long way in the direction of sound American citizenship. Most of us know well how to drive an automobile; many of us are adepts at "leading movements"; and it is said, rather authoritatively, I fancy, that we have the most thoroughly educated feet in the country. This is as it should be. No one should be permitted to enjoy the privilege to question our right to "front up" in whatever of social distinctions we may choose to select. There are odd moments, though, when it might be well to think earnestly concerning the social needs of the follows in the ranks behind the generals and the advance guard of the groups. The good health of the rank and the thus becomes a question of grave import. "On to Moscow" was followed by the disasters of disease and death that were strewn along the way of "back from Moscow." The devil's back is no safer abode than the shadow under his satanic majesty's belly. Turbulent has too strong a hold on the vitality and well-being of the race; the stressful situations of big city life are making too wide a sweep of the finer social impulses of our kind; finally, the social responsibilities of our forward elements continue to mount higher and higher as the group's economic position grows in social importance. All of which means that the matter of "a health week" assumes huge economic proportions and has come to us at a real "psychological moment." But the health of the nation is also involved in the faithful observances of the rule and conduct of "health week" programs. There is no "outer line" in good health. Health amalgamates, assimilates andights segregation to the very death of it. Custoe is a baby and wealth a pity in their contents with him. Arose health to anger and his miserable breath sweeps, the length and breadth of a continent overnight. Give him of your life's better hope and you will have come to you the giants and the beauties of song and contentment everywhere throughout the land. Prejudice is the boon companion of all health. Our fight, in health, is not for rights, but for good health. No man in good health can hate his fellow men. Only sick minds and diseased bodies give places to race prejudices and caste impurities. Whatever there is of race and color prejudice in the United States of America is held hostage that nation if itself, unto death. It does not matter that "dominance" is our galley boy not every citizen is constitutionally free and equal. of the nation was not molested and pillaged; sick democracy would be a spiritual fact and freedom a personal truth with us all. The insistence for the maintenance of the nation is not a claim to pity the creation and existence of the church slave system on the mind. It is a want to hide the shame of crime against the late and beauty of human life. As an expression of compassion in public life it has no parallel in history. At this time we can well afford to set aside considerations of ouropathy and conscience and give our thoughts to the work of making the Tuskegee Health program a big success for the race and the nation. This we are honored to do in the social nature of life and humanity. I am a knight of I long ago. Our of the duke I see the habits come true. Our of the night I see the dawn come up. Yet each of the things I ask why. When nights are born I ask why should they be born? When down leap from the sea why should the fish be born? And gold and purple dream through so few? Ah! why to life so many on I must. But heart grows loose into depletion of sparrow. Night and the day come pecking out and me. They be in health, good with living wealth. And song and love not youth in food endurance. And age as dreaming as an Autumn season. And all the strength of work and love and health. REMARKABLE RHEUMATISM REMEDY GIVEN U. S.

VOODOOISM IN HAITI To the Editor of The Negro World: Mr. Editors: Just a few lines to say that I was greatly surprised to read in The Negro Times your article on the practice of voodooism in the island of Haiti, and which you said was extracted from the Havana Post. The tenor of the said article is so absurd that I wouldn't give it a thought had it been published in any other paper but The Negro Times. Because, as you know, and as everybody knows, the American Occupation to justify its presence in Haiti has to carry out that kind of propaganda to make the world believe that we are still in a state of savagery. They have been trying hard for the past eight years or so to have the approval of other nations; up to now they have not succeeded yet, and never will. In support of my statement I will offer the retusal of the French Government to accept the credentials of Mr. Bonamy, who was to succeed Mr. Bellegarde as Ambassador of Haiti in France. The French Government and every other government knows we are being subjugated by a powerful and despotic nation. If you had the opportunity to read some of the leading papers of Europe, you would have an idea of what they think about the American Occupation on the other side of the Atlantic.

Coming back to the first part of my letter expressing my surprise at your publication of the defamatory article I will say thil. The Negro Times having pledged to be the champion of the race, should be the last paper to help carrying out any propaganda whose aim and objects are to disgrace us. And another thing I want to bring to your attention too is that before the landing of the American Occupational in Haiti nobody ever heard anything about the Haitians being cannibals. We are more civilized than those who want to civilize us. The burning and lynching of his man creatures in the South are a palpable fact of what I am saying. I do not doubt that if we were only of the size and had the population of Mexico we could have raped, we could have killed without being molested. But also, though we did nothing similar they think that we should be civilized; and by who, by a band of vagabonds whose hands are maniculated with the blood of their victims of the South. So, Mr. Editor, let not The Negro Times or The Negro. World deviate from the path they proposed to follow, for any time they do they are in utter contravention with the program, the laws of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
