The Negro World

LET'S FUTURE OUR The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Abrahaned Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 19 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 CHRISTMAS AMONG THE MILLIONS OF NEGROES ALL OVER THE WORLD FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Before another few days have expired we will be celebrating the joyful, yet holy, day of Christmas, that day when the Lord and Saviour of the Christian race was born to the world with the mission of the spiritual redemption of the human family. The purpose for which He came has not been completely fulfilled; yet, after nearly two thousand years have rolled by, a large number of those who once denied Him has risen in the acceptance of the truth He taught and in His defense. The Christian Faith The hundreds of millions of Christians the world over today profess the faith for which He died. Unfortunately, however, there seem to be very little of the reality in the practice they make of this religion. Because of this we find ourselves still in confusion, still misunderstanding each other, as it were, fighting to the death each other, leaving ourselves exposed to the unquestionable need for the return of this our Lord and Master for readjusting our human ills that we are unable to regulate ourselves. Fighting Each Other We are face to face with a world; Christian though it seems to be, wherein the one race is out to stultify the growth of the other, and the one nation seeking to impoverish, exploit and subjugate the other. In fact, we are in universal confusion. Nobody knows who is right and who is wrong. It is all a gross speculation which is bound to end in further confusion, except an immediate relief comes, and we do hope that relief will come especially at this season, when the universal world turns its attention in memory, with admiration and homage, to the little stable at Bethlehem, where was-born the Son of God, the Brother of Man. Celebrating Christmas In celebrating Christmas let us not forget the beautiful side of it; let us not make it all sport, frivolity and pleasure, but let us remember that it stands out as the greatest of all anniversaries in the history of the human race. The Universal Thought It is the universal thought that should bring us nearer to the feeling of human love, when we would feel ourselves to be our brother's keeper and not his enemy; when England should be willing to throw down the sword and no further seek to slay the helpless Egyptians; when France should forget her revenge for Germany and realize that Christ died for French and German alike; when the white world should forget their boasted idea of superiority and realize that to God and to His Holy Blessed Son all men are created equal. If we could only at this Christmastide convert the wicked heart of the so-called superior races and get them all to realize that there is but one brotherhood, and that is the brotherhood of man irrespective of nationality, then we would have achieved something for this Chrismastide that is to influence us during the season that it brings. It seems almost a mockery when we listen to the proclamations of the divines who lead in the Christian TO CELEBRATE WITH GREATER LOVER FOR SELF THE CONFLICT OF IDEALS AND DOCTRINES Sailing of First Ship in the New Year world, the different races and nations. How they exhort us to be fair to each other, to love our brothers as ourselves, and yet in the other breath we find them upholding the material argument of destruction that their respective nations and peoples adduce as reason for the subjugation of the less fortunate. Argument of Man What argument can the Archbishop of Canterbury give for England's unholy attitude to the native Africans and the subjugated races under her command? What argument can the clerics of France give for the unholy Colonial desires of France? And what argument can His Holiness the Pope find for Italy in Italy's subjugation of her vast millions of tropical Africa? Yet all of us, Italian, English, French, American, German and African, pray to the same God and accept the same Christ, who is now born to the world as our elder brother and our Saviour. Doesn't it all seem a farce, a lie and a mockery? Yet we live in hope that one day the human race will really find its soul, and in so doing forget that England should live at the expense of Africa and India, and that France should exist at the expense of the benighted millions of blacks, but that all of us should have one common love and sympathy and be willing to share each other's burdens and to weep each other's tears. Hope for the Future This is the hope of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we do trust that the Christmas of 1924 will bring us nearer to the realization of the ideal for which Christ came into the world than at any other time. We desire that all Negroes maintain a sober attitude during the Christmas season, sober not only from the sense of dissipation but by our general attitude. Our people should think more and deeper, and all of us should remember that Christmas is not a season when we should spend all that we have in luxury and riotous living, but when we should give deeper thought and concern about our own lives and the future thereof. A Good Advice The best advice that we can therefore give at this Yuletide is that each and every one should give a kindlier thought to the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and let us more unite our forces mentally, physically, materially in every way to achieve that which we desire more, a friendship among ourselves, a common brotherhood within the race. Surely we have adopted the motto of "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." What better time could we find than at this season of the year to so promulgate this lofty and noble purpose. Yes, we are all one, we suffer as one and should live as one, and when the end comes to all mankind surely we shall assemble as one. One in Purpose One in Purpose Let us be one in purpose in supporting every detail of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us get behind the general program without reserve, but with the great desire to help the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, which is to be the harbinger of our new program for the new year of 1925 that is ahead of us. The Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company needs more support financially from each and every one of the race, and as we celebrate Christmas with the spirit of love and fellowship and that of gifts to our friends, let us not forget to give a gift to our personal selves, and the best gift that we could give is that of added interest in the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. In sending out our presents to our friends let us not forget to give ourselves a present by taking out a loan in the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. If we have purchased already, as most of us have, let us purchase one for our friends, for our wives, for our sweethearts, for our children or loved ones anywhere. This is the best Christmas gift that we can give because it would help to build up an institution that will be to our own benefit and that of posterity of our own race. Sailing of First Ship In another couple of weeks the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company will sail out of New York on a cruise of the West Indies and Central America, taking to that part of the world several citizens from America, who will go to see life in the tropics, and at the same time to take cargo to and fro, opening up the first avenue for trade between our people in the different sections. Let us all get behind this effort and make it a glowing success, and no better time could we find for doing so than during this Yuletide. Thanking you in anticipation of your help and co-operation for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEWENT ASSOCIATION. New York, December 16, 1924. P. S.—All members and frineds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to do their best in seeing that each division of the organization becomes financial with the Parent Body before the close of the present year. We also ask all members and friends who have not yet paid upon their loans to the Black Cross and who have not yet taken out their loans to do so within another few days, as the last payment of the ship will become due. And those who can afford to take out $25, $50, $100 or $500 should do so immediately. Please do not fail to do so, so as to enable the corporation to carry out its plans. M. G.

Among the soloists who appearcd were Miss Ethel Oughton Clarke, Prof. Packer Ramséy and Madame Fraser Robinson, whose execution of compositions by great music masters was greatly applauded by the audience and formed a fittidg Plelude to the speeches that were delivered by the speakers of the evening. ; : ‘ Hon. Marcus Ga. vey was back at his old-stand in Liberty. Hall "after an absence of nearly two weeks and delivered another of those inspiring speeches that have fired the members of the Universal Negro Improvenient Associafion, with hope for the future of the race, and have aroused the ‘Sleeping consciousness of millions of Negroes in all parts of the world to the extent that they are Tooking forward to Africa with a new perspective. His remarks at the out- set, while not quite complimentary to those of the organization who have not done their full duty tothe cause which they claim to sup- port, typified his outspokenness on the shortcomings of the race with the view that the same may be realized and steps taken to bring about the remedy which is necessary in the pursuit ,of the plans which the organization have made for the betterment of the race in all parts of the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, Mr. Garvey declared, was no longer an organization; it is a world-wide institution and as such required the whole- hearted co-operation of those for whom it.was intended to benefit. It has reached the point where they could not depend on any one man to put over the program. ‘He stressed the importance of the commercial and industrial program which the association had inaugurated for the year 1925 through the launching of a steamship line and pleaded with his hearers not to regard it as a joke, but a serious attempt to make the race commercially independent so that when the time came they would be prepared with resources to make a bid for possession of their motherland Africa. : The other speaker was Hon. P. Y. Burrows, who spoke of the Universal Negro Improvenicnt Association as the only hope for the Negrocs of the world. Following is the text oi the speeches: Mon, Vereival V.

Liberjy Hall at the. present time is suffering:from lack of executive, dscipline.--My, experience an & business man, which dates back from the time when-I was twelve years of age up to the present time, hax given me a complete graep of the economic situation. My contact with members of the race has been » dis- appointment aa far as the Negro's executive abjiity ts concerned. The most sad thing In our entire opera- tion as a race Is the lack of executive ability. ‘The Negro can talk, he oan dance, he can sing, he cai’ play, but when ft comes down to tackling a aituation and putting over a program of any kind, whether it be of per- sonal interest or comminity intercet, that fs where wo fall down, ‘The aver- age Negro, who thinks that he can do, will atart out doing Monday, but by Wednesday he has stopped and broken down, and the prograin fallx through by Saturday afternoon for lack of coniinulty on the part of the per- son who Is responsible. “This has been the cause of the many colosanl fall- uren of Negro tnstitutions. We can make a lot of nolye and do everything that dots not amoint to anything, Dut when it comes to aticking to a. pro- xram that requires chreful thought and attention, the Negro: falls down. The Paychological Grasp Some of us do not have-that pay- chotogical rraap of a sltuntion that we ought to have. Woe do not attach any importance to what ehould be the most essential element of time in the per= formance of nny task that we have net ourselves to. We have not discl- plined ourselves to be punctual tn the pursult.of what we have undertakon. Thin ts what Lfberty Hall ts suffering from—the Inck of punctuality on the part of the executives of tho organiza- tion to attend the mectings.of the or- Ranization at the hour for which they are net. It fg my purpone during the five weeks that I expect to remain in New York to bring back tho old dinct- pine of LAberty Hall and to inaist that those who are responniblo aet an ex- ample of punctuality tn attendance at the meetings in order that the general membership might follow that example. Liberty Halt fs suffering from Inziness on the part of those who are responal~ ble;.1t in aufforing from lack of busl- ness ability: ft {a auffering from lack of executive: ability to put over a pro- grain that must be properly handled.

LEARNING FROM THE INDIANS. : N article in the New York Sunday Tribune of New York . A states with an air of surprise that the Pueblo Indians in- 2 troduced the idea of co-operative ownership to white people. It-says that ten thousand years ago these Indians had jointly owned ‘apartment houses. + . ” “This should hot surprise anybody ‘but the white people, who think that everything-good was originated by themselves. As a matter of fact they got nearly all their ideas from the darker races. Their physics, mathematics and medicine came from the deserts of Africa; their religion and philosophy from the Orient; their alphabet from people they regard as their inferiors. We say the English are the best_exemplars of good living; but they lived like pigs until the Crusadérs- brought back with them the Saracen comforts and lux- uries. As Kipling truly says, “the things you learn from the yellow and’ brown will help you a heap with the white.” BRITISH PROTECTION OF HER SUBJECTS . IN CIIRA IiERE, must ‘be something radically wrong in the govern- ment of. Cuba. it has a large black population, which did :most to liberate it from the tyranny of Spain, and it has a small’ population of mixed-blooded people of: many; races, including Negro.and Indian and Spaniard, and it has a very small population -of Spanish people who may be regarded as white. Indeed, the “Spanish race in the ‘Americas an in Europe is so,mixed in its blood fs to make it difficult to jam them all under the designation of Latins. And most Latins, including the Italians, are mixed in: their race lines. 3 The few white Spaniards in Cuba were allowed to control affairs during the Spanish-American war, while the blacks and mulattoes did the fighting and furnished the money, largely by taxing Negré and half-breed tobacco workers in the United States. The Editor of The Negro World avarned the Negro Cuban leaders against committing all of their interest to white Cubans and Amer- icans during and immediately after the war, ‘but they shrugged their shoulders and extentied their hands and said: “We will ‘take care of that.” They have done so, The white Cubans and Amer- icans have kept the control of Cuban affairs which the-black and mulatto Cubans allowed them to have duitng and immediately after the war, and The Negro World is of the opinion that it will be a long time before they recover control of the government of Cuba _ When white people gets a strangle hold they know how to keep it. = The Negro World has been, and is, deulged with complaints’ from | West Indian Negroes, some of them Haitians, about the way the Cuban police and civilians treat them. They are workers in the island, and they should have the proper protection of the Cuban government, or, failing that, the protection of their several govern- -ments, especially the government of Great Britain. And they do not appear to get it. A reign of lawlessness seems to prevail in some of the sugar provinces of Cuba which, if our correspondents “are to. be relied upon, would be a disgrace to the most backward and barbarous country., . According to many: reports we have received, it is claimed that Great Britain-has failed to extend to her West Indian subjects the protection which they have a right to expect when mistreated in a foreign country. This may be due to the announced policy of Great Britain to discourage immigration of her West Indian subjects to Cuba and other countries where they can secure the labor and make the living which they are unable to get in their island homes. And there appears to be economic stringency in most of the British West Indian colonies. To seek to keep people at home when they cannot ‘get employment and must starve,'and to: deny them the protection of their.government when they go to other countries to find work, and aré, mistreated by government officials and employers ‘of such countries, is a failure of government in one of the most vital of the things ‘governments are established and maintained for. The British. Government owes it to itself and its good name to give the needed protection to its subjects tempofarily residing “in the Republic of Cuba. The Universal Negro Improvement Assocja- tion, in the name, and in the intrest of its large membership residing in Cubs, insists that Great Britain. should protect those people in their just rights in Cuba, . _. A NORDIC REBUKES THE NORDICS, . NEEDED ‘ebiike to the Nordic mania wad given last week A by Sir Esme Howard, British’ Ambassador to the United States. At a dinner given in his honor he said that the caltere of the Latin races is just as‘necessaty to the world.as thet of the Bagtish-opeaking races; that a.more frequent use of ‘soup ‘and water ove not necessarily mean s higher civilization ; ‘and that the Latine in the end, ‘ab in the-beginning, may be more civifired, ia Gee true sense-of the term, than the Anglo-Saxons, He further says that ‘ecither thé Latine nor ‘thé ‘Angio-Sanone have any ‘right to swvagets to themseives the title. of Torch Bearer of Civilization.” ‘Well, the Latine never claimed ouch a right, It is only the north- Wweutern people of Exrope, the English and the Germsas, including weleete as: Lethegy, Stoddard, end Medinca Great, te the batileary oP tay SM Rt crecything owen wip Satter tn everyting cet thn Super, fa Beal caciaelion, une, Herc, -Destton i Sey Sette tet a Eat Nov tke bt as sta Nordic, aad both of them look.dowm upon the Swédish : To the informed person, however, it is the joke of the age to see the Anglo-Saxon looking down upon the Freach, Spanish and Italians. Onty- the Latin races know the real mesning of art and beauty. “England has never produted painter compared even to the minor Italians, there is no such thing as English opera,.and in sculpture asin music, the French and Italians can laugh at them. Another ‘Latin: country, Spain, ‘gave us.a new world. Rome, the first Latin country, gave'the English their code! of jurisprudence and half their noble I ‘When.'a man gets part of his native tongue from the Latins; when he models his ert upoa the Latins, when he stutlies and emulates thtir code of laws, and their canons of rhetoric, he only makes % fool of himself, when he says that he is superior to the ‘Latins. .. .. BOLIVAR AND SAN MARTIN . 4 T HE centenary of the Battle of Ayacucho was celebrated thi: * week. ‘Fhat means nothing: to the people of this country ! but the Battle of Ayacucho won the liberty of -South America from the Spaniards. Some day historians will do full justice to the struggle of South America for independence and to her great generals, Bolivar and San ‘Martin. - These men have peen compared to Napoleon himself. | Certainly under the same difficalties Napoleon could not have done much bet ter." We extol the bravery ofthe American revolutionists, but Wastiington never had the same disadvantages. After three cent turies of ownership Spain had a firmer hold o#:South America than England had on North America in 1775. Bolivar, moreover, was confronted with the tremendous’ physical obstacle of the, Andes Mountains: he operated over a térritory five times as large! as the theatre of the American Revolution; he had to flee the country at one time; he fought for fifteen years to Washirigton's seven; and he had to handle a. mixed army, of Spaniards, Scots, Irishmen, Negroes and Indians. Washington freed thirteen small-colonies on the eastern fringe of North America; Bolivar and San Martie, liber ated a, whole continent... Moreover, they did this without the help of any foreign power, whereas Washington could not have beaten the British without the aid df France. . Anglo-Saxons who boast of tenacity and courage as if these quali- ties were peculiar to Nordics. should read of the achievements of such men as Bolivar and San Martin. Then they might understand why their arrogant attitude has roused such resentment in the L.ntin-\merican republic. ss 7 2 YELLOW FEVER AND MORAL FEVER | j OUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY have just published thc biography of William Crawford Gorgas. Dr. Gorgas will always be remembered as the man who stamped out yellow fever in Panama, making it possible for the United States to build the great canal. His work was probably.the greatest feat-of medical sanitation in history, te : Such achievements remind us that the great scourges of the world are being conquered one by one. . Scarcely a century ago smallpox ‘seemed as invincible as cancer seems now, but Dr. Jenifer all bu wiped it out, and now it is relatively rare. Cholera, the black death the bubonic plague, are heard of but never seen in accidental coun. tries. Tuberculosis is gradually yielding to sciertce. Of the old demons only cancer and. leprosy ‘still hold out, and perhaps in another century their terrors will be gone. z ° Yet, with ail these victories, the philosopher is confronted by the sad truth that man’s progress is one-sided. He conquers bodily ills, he develops dis mind, he harnesses Nature and drives her in his machines; but as yet he has not improved his moral being. He has not overcome the most dreadful scourge of all—man's inhu- manity-to man. Injustice, greed, murder, lust, treachery, dishonesty —these have survived all the great moral physicians from Moses to Christ, and in this Christmas season of 1924 they are as per- sistent and destructive as they were fixe thousand years ago. A Gorgas purges the tropics, a Jenifer kills smallpox, a Pasteur slestroys bacteria. Who will cleanse man’s soul?

Thomas Fortune went part Foey bags ee pert. have their gaz always om the earth and thei thoughts a things of the earth That jo‘to say, they are of the earth earthy. Thy will mot b @attered to have it stated that way, but if they will stop to con imto the face of the sun, ant every one can't do that, most are blinded by so doing; they will see that I am correct in my state ment. It is the Way of the world, so to speak. Most, people are sc abeorbha in the sférn realities of he. earth’ tat they have small disposition to look up. And most people, as I have said, seldom look above their eyebrows. I can go further;, most people seldom think above ‘their eyebrows, and they have few. thoughts, there- fore, that are more than cor place. Indeed, it may, be said that mankind is governed by commonplace thought, with little ofthe electrical magnetism’ if the ‘sun's rays in it, .and it ‘makes them narrow and sordid and cruel, with a selfish disposition to get what they desire whatever the cost. As it is with individuals so is it‘with nations. They are all after getting advantage, get- ting the better of the bargain, without regard to the justice and equity that should govern in all of the relations of men. “Am I my brothei’s keeper?’ rings down the ages, and must have always the same answer if you have any sort of ‘relations with him’ or any ‘control of his life and property. We can't live to ourselves alone; therefore arid willy-nilly we are responsible one to the other for what results from such association. a. We all like the sunshine, but we seldom look in the face of the sun. We all like’ the light, but we live and think most in the dark. We have little of the spirit of indestructible lite of the sun in the sordid earth from which we are said to have been taken by the Lord God, to serve in the gar- den. ‘And we all appear to be servants when we are not tyrants, and a great many have the dis position to play the part of the; latter. Way down in the con-| sciousness of most of us there is a disposition to Jord it over our flows or the dvmb creatuses committed to our keeping. 7 I often think of the Chaldeans: and others. 6f the infant ‘world who spent niost of their time studying the sun, moon and the stars also. They must have been very spiritual. And they were not fiesh eaters, as we.are; they ate of the fruits and herbs and lived to a avonderfully ripe old age, while we dic while we are yet young. Those old pcople fived close to the spirit of nature, while we live very close to the flesh and blood and bone of nature. That is one reason why we lack ‘the high thinking and right living of those grand old people who lived when the world was young. When I was a boy, and that was long ago, I used to be dazzled | by the nightly display of the stars n the heavens, out in the country- wide spaces of my Florida place of nativity.

To the Editor of The Negro World: 'Christmas is near, and soon 1925 will be on the alert. The year 1925 will be on the aspects seen on the horizon will be the "Banner Year" of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and African Communities League. I say it will be the "Banner Year" because of the fact that the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, Inc., shall send out its first ship, the Booker T. Washington, leaving her New York pier at 4 p. m., January 11, 1925, with "Negro tourists" to the West Indies and Central America. Here a mighty victory will be scored and the enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will have met another crushing defeat. "Hats off to Marcus Garvey!" The enemies if this great movement will again ask the question, "What manner of man is this Marcus Garvey?" And I will answer for them and say that the man Marcus Garvey is the world's greatest living Negro genius. Marcus Garvey is a mighty thinker. He can see and he can do. He has compelled men to change their minds and do his bidding. Marcus Garvey is a living genius. He me another Negro leader, who after six years of hard work and strenuous toll, almost without a reward, and meeting with all kinds of privations, fighting the enemies within and without the ranks of the U. N. L. A., could, within that time outline such a program and raise its membership from 13 members to eleven millions. There is none. Marcus Garvey is now solving for once and for all the problems of the four hundred millions of us scattered all over the world. May God bless him and we trust success will crown his every effort. Whether you like him or not, I don't care, but I say: "Hits off to Marcus Garvey." Today is yours; the past has revealed all its secrets to us, and the present is bending over us as clear as the noon-day sun, but what of the future? Are you prepared? Can you see the goal? The future is dark and gloomy, and we must be ready to blast our way, through. "Their is not to reason why; we must blast our way through or die." Africa must be redeemed, and the Negroes must be free. Africa will be redeemed, but we must combine our every effort, our health, our common sense, our intelligence, our minds, our cultural selves and our dollars, with faith in God, faith in our leader, and faith in ourselves, and be assured, in mind and in make it. It will be only a question of time to the reckoning of Africa, the emancipation of the race, and the colonies of the Red, the Blues, and the Greeks will be planted on the hillsides of dear old Africa. We will have a government in Africa founded on the principles of Christianity, religion, truth, justice to democracy. "A government of the people, by the people, and for the people." We shall then be happy, because we will be free. Seek the truth, find and know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Can you find the truth? I say you can, and I will tell you how. Read the preamble and the aims and objects of the organization; Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest it Keep; the motto of the organization: "One God, One Aim, One Dastiny" Write it on your foreheads, and keep it daily before your eyes as a chart, believing always in the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. Be fair and honest to yourselves and to all. Be guided by the dictates of your consciences. Pray to God for yourselves, not for kings and queens and princes who have not got time to study us. Be loyal and faithful in all your undertakings. Be not envious. Keep straight and pray that God will bestow wisdom and knowledge and that He will give safety and strength to our leaders, and pray always for His blessings on the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the four hundred million Negroes scattered all over the world. Have faith in those leaders that have been tested and approved of as o. k. Keep your eyes on the goal of Africa and remember at every hour "Africa for the Africans" at home and abroad, and you shall see the truth. Follow and abide by the teachings of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, for he is preaching the true salvation. Do as he asks, for he sees and knows what we don't see and know. He is preaching the true doctrine. He is not preaching to fool you. Then when you are asleep he turns out to look for your gold and diamonds, and when he is caught, he says, "Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold." He knows its good for you and so it's all right. Marcus Garvey is not giving you booze for the gospel, and afterward say "It and he merry for tomorrow you will die." Happiness here on earth is heaven, so don't be fooled. Marcus Garvey is giving us what many of us wouldn't give him, and that is; Truth, fair play, justice, honesty and everything that spells "Good." Therefore its incumbent on us to stand by him irrespective of what may come about. If your wives and husbands, sweethearts and conubies, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters or the dearest of friends to you should plan to put anything over the Universal Negro Improvement Association as a "Chive" or anything of meal, foul, dirty, diabolical and unscrupulous trick on anything, money or otherwise belonging to the t. $ . I. A. and A. C. L. show him up; if your life is even endangered by a threat show him up, don't be bluffed. "Fear God and have no other fear," and be a defender of the race and the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities Language. Be your duty; did be me and not suppose. Remember the Universal Negro Improvement Association to a spiritual movement, directed by the Lord Jehovah, and that whosoever that will try to play any crooked game or "Chive" will pay for it some day. Remember if the Universal Negro Improvement Association fails the 400 millions of us as Negroes fail. I am asking you to be loyal and truthful, be honest to yourselves and the cause, be guided by the dictates of your consciences, support the cause morally and financially and help our fearless leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to put the program over. Let 1925 be the "Banner Year" of the Universal Negro Improvement: Association and the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. For "Africa, expects every Negro to do hla-duty." In that not truth? Seek it and you shall be free. It doesn't matter who criticize Marcus Garvey and what they choose to say of him. Professors or what not, they all will have to take their "thats off to Marcus Garvey." They have been talking before I was born, and to us now they haven't done anything, but thank God the Universal, Negro Improvement Association, through Marcus Garvey, has got a "balance sheet and a program." Garvey knows what the Negro needs, and he is showing us the way to get it. His genius has pierced the dark night of ages, showing us the grand and noble opportunities and possibilities before us. We must now unearth the latent and inherent qualities lying dormant in us, and show to the, world that what other races and men have accomplished, we the Negro peoples of the world, can accomplish. Other nation and races have made good with their steamships and we must do it too, and so we give thanks to God and Marcus Garvey, and to all those who have put it over with the S. S. Booker T. Washington. Other stewardship companies have failed, and were entirely awept out of existence, but through the indefatigable efforts and seal of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his able co-workers another successful venture has been made in that of the S. S. Booker T. Washington of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. This new venture will be handled by men whom I think will not allow themselves to be bought for money. It will certainly be the "bars" for the crooked one on this occasion, even if he be a dishwasher. Again how many of us have not lost our money in white banks and other corporations, and nothing is being said or done about it. We had to take it easy and be satisfied. The Negroes are satisfied to lose on the white man rather than himself. It should not be so, since we can lose on the white man, I fail to see why we can't lose on ourselves. If white are for whites; then let black be for the blacks. "Africa for the Africans" at home and abroad. Go forward and acquit yourselves like men. The die is cast. The time is now, go out and light and crown yourselves with laurels of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In our right for the right our faith will be tested, so we must content ourselves and be satisfied to meet obstacles, difficulties and embarrassments of every sort. We cannot go to heaven in beds of feathers. Bitterness first and the sweets will come after. Be faithful in all your undertakings. Fear God and have no other fear. Have faith in God, and in our leaders. Have self-confidence and faith in yourselves and rest assured with confidence that the Lord Jehovah, who is leading us through His agent and instrument, Marcus Garvey, will put the program over, and we shall all be free. The fields of commerce and industry are very wide, and the time seems to be now for us to make good in those fields. We want men and women to handle our banks, our insurance companies, railroads, shipping companies, merchandise, factories and all other corporations that make up the commercial and industrial program. We need engineers in every form of engineering. We must have our architects, chemists, business managers, accountants and agriculturalists. We cannot depend on the white man to handle our commercial and industrial program, we must do it ourselves, and we must begin now to study as never before and fit ourselves for the great work that is ahead. I am still in my twenties, and some day I hope to be a merchant prince and a commercial magnate in our African Négro business schools, resident and correspondence, should advertise in The Negro World, for the chief reason that most of us are looking for everything that spells "good" in The Negro World. We believe everything published in it to be sane and corrot. Our editor, Thomas Fortune, as far as I can see, will not allow anything that it not satisfactory to be published in such a valuable paper, and for which I tender my sincere congratulations. Rending his own articles, I can see that he is clean and fair, and likes everything clean. That is a mark of honesty, truth and fair play. That being so, I think he is not only protecting himself, but the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Let us defeat the enemies at every door and make 1825 the banner year in the fields of commerce and industry for the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. Let us, in putting over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its new fields of commerce and industry, adopt as a motto, "We can, we must and we will!" I am therefore appealing to you, in the name of the Most High God, in the name of our Creator, in the name of humanity, truth, faith, justice, and liberty, in the name of our higher selves, a conscience, with fair play and honesty to all, and in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and African Communities League, to stand by your honor, your character; prestige and tradition; and be men in helping to put over the great program. Be not lured. Be fair and honest to all, for success in near. I am appealing to you in the name of Africa to stand by the Hon. Marpe Garvey and the U. N. I. L. and help him make the efforts of the commercial and industrial, program a huge and magnate success, and so crown yourselves with great laurels of the U. N. I. L. and at the closing of 1928, in making our intercessions to God, we may all, with a smile on every lip, say, "Well done!" Thank God, the U. N. I. A., through its intrepid leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, a leading victory has been scored in the commercial and industrial world, thus making 1925 a defeating year for the enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a banner year for the Negro peoples of the world as well as for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Let us begin now with all our energies, man-power and money-power, to help to put over the great program of the Universal Improvement Association. Let us start with a new sheet, and make 1925 the record-breaking and banner year of the association. Let us all, as honest men and, women, support the cause and stand by the Hon. Marcus Garvey through thick and thin, morally and financially, and tomorrow reap the sweet sunshine of happiness. Let each and everyone of us on the night of December 31, 1924, cast off the armor of darkness and bitterness and put on the armor of light and truth. Let us all, on our knees, give thanks to God for the work done by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association for 1924. Let us all make a special intercession to God for health, wisdom, knowledge, strength and blessing upon the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the members of his cabinet, the members of the High Executive Council, the presidents, officers and members of every division, on the Negroes in Africa, on the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is no time now to play for kings and queens and princesses and white gods, who haven't time to think about us while they can get the chance to kill our poor brothers and sisters in Africa to steal our gold and diamonds. They can kill a poor African girl and sentence the cruel brute of a white man for six weeks in some palace prison, but we have to pay 2,500,000 when some white man is killed in Egypt. Pray for yourselves, because we as Negroes want the blessings, too. Let us do our best, so that when the time shall have come for us to write the great Negro history, we will not be found wanting. We shall have done our duty to Africa and our names shall be written on that parchment with indelible ink which goes to make up that great Negro history. Let us encourage those who are outside to come in and help us. French Garveyalm to them in your letters. Send them copies of The Negro World, and tell them to be courageous, for success is near. Search yourselves. Be fair, true and honest to all, and make 1925 the banner year of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. African Communities League and the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. God bless Marcus Garvey. Long-lived America. Hurrah for Africa! With very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. WILBERT, E. BARNES. 49 Puerta Cerrada, Havana, Cuba. REVIVAL OF 'THE EMPEROR JONES' WITH ROBESON REVIVAL OF 'THE EMPEROR JONES' WITH ROBESON The Provincetown Playhouse Making the New Presentation—Who Paul Robeson Is One of the most popular of all the O'Neill plays is soon to be revived. The Provincetown Playhouse has announced that "The Emperor Jones" will be given for a two weeks' limited engagement, beginning next Monday. Paul Robeson, who was last seen in that much-discussed play, "All Gods' Chillun Get Wings," will play the part of Prunus Jones, the captain-porter who has made himself an "emperor" on an island of the West Indies. Robeson's career as an interesting one. He was born in Princeton in 1838. His mother was a school teacher, his father a Negro minister. On account of his color he had little chance to exercise his dramatic ability in school, and it was not until he reached Columbia that his talent had a fair chance of being appreciated. Meanwhile both in high school and Rutgers College he won honors in football, oratory, baseball, track, glee club, debating club, became a Phi Beta Kappa man and was elected to an honorary senior society. After Rutgers, he studied law at Columbia and more athletic and general honors followed. In 1921 Robeson's acting in a production of the Y. W. C. A., "Simon the Cyrean," attracted the attention of August Duncan, who was so impressed with his performance that later Robeson played in the New York production, of "Taboo," opposite Margaret Wycherley. This was then followed with an appearance in London in the same play with Mrs. Patrick Campbell in the lead. Least spring during the postponement of "All God's Chillun Got Winga" Robeson stepped into the part of Brutus Jones, first created by Charles Giglia, whose fame as that character still lives. Robeson surprised New York when he not only receives an grant a reception at Giglia but in the estimation of many guys even as she an interpretation of the part.

MUSIC BY THE UNIVERSAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DANCING AFTER SHOW GENERAL ADMISSION, 50c; CHILDREN, 28c Those Who Want the Old And Those Want the New When this new age is compared with the good old days gone by it is difficult to determine which age is worse than the other. There is a contention made against bobbed hair in these times. But a young bishop of the Methodist Church takes the position that the bobbed hair of modern times is better than the old-time bangs; that the short skirt is to be preferred to the old bobbed skirt with which the woman used to surround herself and by which she covered much of the adjacent territory; that the jazz songs of today, however, objectionable they are, do not ridicule Bible characters. The bishop says our people are not kind to the genius flapper. He says they criticize their hair, their skin, their stockings, their shoes, their skirts, their cosmetics, and their manners. The bishop says, if you would hear some of the old people talking now, you would suppose that when they were young folks they were gentle little angels sitting on sofas with their hands folded in their laps. Smoking of the bobbed skirts, he says that when the women used to wear them, whenever two of them met on the sidewalk one had to step off and let the other pass. The bishop is game: He says: "As between the bobbed skirts and the present style, give me the short skirts of today." We have no quarrel with the goal bishop about this delicate matter. We had reason for the old bobbed skirts and we have less than none for the extra short skirts of these modern days, which are always on the ascending scale. HEALTH TOPICS By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Assn. Lip-Stick Scarcs and Other Poisonings Some time ago there appeared in the news column notices concerning the death of a young woman following the use of a lipstick. The commissioner of health of this city has instituted an investigation of some of the popular brands in use here, and there will be an announcement later, to double, as to the chemical contents of these products and the effect of these chemicals upon health. It might be helpful to all to know that if there be present any lip adhorsion (break in the membrane of the lip) care should be taken to avoid putting any foreign substance or article on the lip or to risk infection from another person through kissing, for instance. Originally, an intact membrane prevents bacteria or poisonous substances from entering to set up a inflammation or a general and serious poisoning. Chipped lip, cracked lips. a slightly cut lip, etc., open the way to such results. "Fever blisters" should receive treatment. They are not due to colds, and, though they may be associated with a cold, they are almost as frequently noted in conjunction with some forms of indigestion. Eczema sometimes involves the lips. Syphilis frequently enters the system through the lips, the infection taking place during kissing. Cancer of the lip has been more common in men than in women, and skin specialists say that some of it is due to injurious effects of tobacco. A hot pipe stem, the tearing of the membrane by a cigarette paper which has become "stuck," continued irritation of the lip, may lead to this undesirable end, and any chronic inflammation or spot of thickness on the lip should be investigated. As to the use of cosmetics and their effects upon the skin and health, this much can be said: Don't use them when there is an abrasion present; don't use them if your skin reacts un友avorably that is, if it blotches, becomes irritated, or if "breaks out" in a rash or shows little "pimples". To quote a well-known skin specialist: "Ronge, when used in moderation, is not harmful, except to the sense of the artist. As a general rule, the tint of the complexion, hair and eyes form a harmonious unit, and when the color of the skin is markedly altered the effect is similar to that of a pair of dirty cuffs upon an otherwise well-groomed man." I think that you will agree with me that every one who uses rugs, lipstick and powder should make it a rule to look at herelf in a mirror at least once a day in the direct sunlight or daylight. If those who look well in these artificial colors under the electric or gas light could see themselves as they appear under the merciless light of day, they would not commit crime against themselves and offend the eyes of the beholders so often.

The Pen Picture of Race Relations in Most Southerns Towns Variously Regarded A stir in Southern-white newspapers and among literary circles has been made by "The Fire in the Flint," the novel of Georgia life written by Walter F. White. A number of white.Southerners have championed the book and have been fiercely assailed for doing so. Lawrence M. Stallings, who praised the book in the New York World, was warned by the Macon Daily Telegraph that he need no longer worry about that "home boy business." Another white Southerner, Herschel Brickell, writing in the New York Evening Post Literary Review, says the book "takes its place easily as one of the most important novels that have yet been written about the present status of race relations in the South." Meanwhile Gerald W. Johnson, in the Baltimore Evening Sun, pokes fun at the Macon Telegraph for its attack on Stallina. He says: "It was a severe penalty to inflict on a native son; but, then, Stallina's offence was extreme. There is no obscurity about what he did. His crime stands up as stark and hold us a stone mountain. . . . He wrote up a novel by a Negro and referred to the author as Mr. White." The Savannah Press goes so far as to comment editorially on "The Fire in the Flint" with true Southern courtesy, heading its editorial "A Book of Lies," and saying it is "unfair, unjust and thoroughly reproachable." On the other hand, the Raleigh, N. C., News and Observer, in its review by Joseph Daniels, J. Jr., says that every Southern man should read the book "if it makes him mad," and goes on to a script: "It is an unanswerable statement in that every Southern man is just every incident in it could be duplicated in his own community." Finally an "enlightened" white south corner, Justice Eleanor Fortson of the County Superior Court, declares: "To those who are intelligently working towards a solution of the race problem with open minds, it must appear as laws and the proof of the belief that to give the Negro an education along other than industrial lines is frequently worse than useless."

The article is profusely illustrated with pictures showing the model homes built by these two companies for their colored work people, the model schools, and the model church. This article is followed by one on "Tuskegee's Academic Department," by Extra C. Roberts, which gives a detailed description of courses offered by the Academic Department, also illustrated. Benjamin Brawley writes an interesting article on "History in the High School" from the point of view of history teaching in the high schools and academies for Negro students in the South. A description is given of the new Jeanes Memorial Dormitory built to commemorate the memory of Miss Jeanes, donor of the Jeanes Fund for Negro rural education, at the County Training School in Henrico County, and an editorial describes the opening ceremonies which took place on November 18. The dedication of Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a new Catholic institution established in Maryland for colored youth, is described by Thomas W. Turner. Brought Forward ..... $9.07 C. A.

UNDERTAKERS and EMBALMERS 132 WEST 90TH STREET. NEW YORK CITY For the New Peninsula Valley community of the Nipomo Valley, of which it is one, with 9,000 cotton products produced in 12,500 barns, more are needed. In fact, as concerns in the conflict for 2005 that deforestation have recently been taken by several communities and concern to preserve certain species particularly in the cotton district, with experienced Negro farmers from the South, also concern is opening 2,000 acres for Negro pollination in the Pale Verde Valley, a promising locality near the Colorado River, with a cotton production of 18,500 bales, valued at $2,295,000. Another concern has a project near Victorville—while others are planning similar methods of insuring the California cotton industry of a plentiful future supply of efficient farm labor. By GEORGE PERRY LOS ANGELES, Cal. (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—For the first time in the history of the Southwest, the black American has become a factor in the future development of the wonderful agricultural possibilities. Evolution of the Japanese, Chinese and Indian farm labor, through the enforcement of the anti-allen land law, and the increase of cotton production in California, are the factors responsible for the present scarcity of experienced farm labor. With a total, average of 445,000 acres with a predicted yield of 256,932 bales, the 1924 cotton crop will yield approximately $40,000,000 to the farmers of southern California, lower California and the Salt River Valley in Arizona. Through arrangement, the aliens will be permitted to harvest the 1924 crop yield; but thousands have left and have at this early date caused such a serious shortage of efficient farm help that distress calls are heard in many sections. In the Yuma Valley district, below Needle, with cotton averaging a bale an acre, 3,000 cotton pickers are needed. In order to supervise the colonisation of the Negro in the various projects, the California Colored Realty and Development Association, Inc., a Negro real estate men's organization, was recently formed in Los Angeles for the purpose of co-operating with the land owners, farm organizations, and realty boards in a systematic campaign of activity, publicity and supervision, with the object of interesting and locating reliable, efficient and industrious Negro farmers of the South in the approved colonisation projects under way in Southern California.

GARVEY THANKS HER FRIENDS MRS. GARVEY wishes to thank the readers of the Negro World who have remembered her during her illness, many of whom have sent her personal letters, and to tell how much she appreciates their remembrance of her. We are gratified to state that Mrs. Garvey has so far recovered her health as to be able to take charge of her department the coming week. WOMAN'S MODE OF DRESS THERE is an article on this page about Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson, known as the "world's best dressed woman." What a record! Is it in any way beneficial to humanity? Her money was made by speculating in hotel shares. Had it been the building of more hotels, it would have been a benefit to her country, England. The country was so stirred by her death that we find the account way down in a corner that the publishers use to fill in space. Another nuisance gone. If there is such a thing as reincarnation we trust Mrs. Wilkinson may return with other ideas than to dress up. Although she never wore the same dress twice, we don't read what she did with her discarded ones. There are some of our women who would give anything to have such a record in their own community. The average Negro woman would rather be well dressed and commented upon than to receive any other earthly praise. It is almost impossible to wear more than one dress at a time. Then, why want so many? If the race woman owned more property and a smaller wardrobe how beneficial it would be both to herself and the community! Property owning enables us to buy anything we need. We as women all know, there is a great deal of warmth in a seal wrap, but they can't be purchased for any little sum. That same $500 invested properly will bring us an increase, but you have a hard time re-selling the seal coat, unless you are a shrewd saleswoman; then you lose on it. The study of economic dressing should be as important as the study of food economics. It is a matter of fact that foreign women in their home life in the old country and among us as denizens live on what American women waste in the kitchen. The pinch of poverty through centuries; has educated them into the intrinsic values, of what we regard as refuse food products. It is safe to say that the foreign-born people in the United States grow fat on their home economizing, which the average American housewife utterly disregards. Turnovers in the kitchen are among the most valuable assets that a housewife can have. The more she saves in the kitchen the more she has for expenditure in clothing and other things which she desires. If this Mrs. Wilkinson had been poor with her penchant for extravagant dressing, she would have been in the position of millions of our women who spend, in their mad chase after fashion's delusions, that which only lures and ensnares them to ruin. V. W. WOMAN SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF HER LARGER OPPORTUNITIES WE have been asked the question, "Can a woman give equal attention to the home and her societies?" With the modern methods of housekeeping the woman who is a good manager can very easily give proper attention to home and her societies. Many of our women find time for anything from dawn dancing, 3 o'clock luncheons, matinee parties, to midnight frolics, but when they are asked to give two hours to visit an orphanage, hospital, or school you get the same worn our excuse of some convenient ailment or tardiness in the housework. The few welfare workers we have in the race would willingly give Miss Pianist or Miss Singer the address of some shut-in whose life would be brightened by the nimble fingers in action over the keyboard, or a rich voice to send out melodies. We sit joyfully around the dinner table and tell funny tales. The invalid next door would like to smile, too. Could you, dear reader, spare five minutes to share that joke? That agonized countenance could be changed to a smile. There are numerous charitable organizations throughout the PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalp and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

Why not rhyme and have more co-operation. During the past five years there has been a remarkable change in woman's achievements in the thought and work of the world. This has been true in Christian countries and some parts of Asia and Africa. Women who are members of a charitable organization should find out what their work is and start out with a zeal to do it. Women who do not belong to any organization will find enough work in their neighborhood to make the most of their opportunity. Women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have a peculiar work of their own, because they are moved by one purpose, with a unified organization at their back, whose membership they can always rely upon, to co-operate with them in any good work for membership or the community. It stands to reason that our women in every community where they are should blaze the way for others and not allow others to blaze the way for them. Why? Because we take it that the women of no other organizations comparable to the women of our organization. V. W, Women Who Stay Married And Those Who Do Not From the New York Times The homeliness of the human race is now explained, and by an explanation which, alas! would seem to place it beyond hope of remedy. Beautiful wives get divorces. It is only the ugly ones that remain constant to hearth, home and husband. This, at least, is the observation of a correspondent of The Atlantic Monthly. He himself has a beautiful wife, but she, having arrived at the same conclusion as her husband, has lately bobbed her hair and taken to bungalow aprons. What can it mean? The good man reads into it an effort to deform herself so that their hitherto happy union may be preserved. If she had been ugly, his logic would probably have been better. As he himself remarks, "Homely wives are chosen with care!" Thought on the subject is far from encouraging. The intention of Mother Nature is manifest. Beauty shall marry strength, to the eternal improvement of the race. None but the brave deserve the fair! We are, indeed, a measurable improvement on our earlier ancestors, whether arboreal or cave-dwelling. But to all modern appearances, Mother Nature is less wise, less forethoughtful, than she has been repaired. Everywhere she lays chief emphasis on the act of choice, confident that the result will be progeny. She invests the brief moment of courtship with all the glamour of personal loveliness and physical daring, of fine plumage, of song and of perfume. What follows is at best proseuses anguista domil, illumined, if at all, by the sober domestic virtues. At the worst, it is physical suffering and mental agony. What does she care? Her great purpose has been accomplished—or so she thinks. Man knows better, and especially woman. Being rational beings, they come to conclusions that shock her infinitely, in brief, as regards mankind. Nature has overplayed her hand. Nothing is more fatal than her most splendid gift. The beautiful and the brave marry early and often—and the humble meek inherit the earth. Is it possible that Nature's intention is to slough off from the body of progress all those who are not as wise as they are strong and fair? Does she really despise romantic loves and personal detachments? That is our only chance. The time must come when beautiful wives are chosen with as much care as homely ones, and care must be continuous. The correspondent of The Atlantic will do well to reconsider that matter of hobbled hair and bungalow aprons. The Woman in the Big City And in the Country Town From the New York Sun No one in New York City cares how many years a woman van honesty count off. if there are so few her claim to glistenedood proves she has her husband picked out, or so many she requires the aid of an adding machine, no one is interested. Never is she called upon to smile while a graphophone plays a "poke piece about an old maid"; never does the dealer smile when her order for five cents' worth of kraut betokens in a manless home. There is no one in her apartment in the block or in the whole city of New York who is saying of her: "I know how old she is to a day; she was born the same day as my Susie." Susie's mother may have lived 'next door when the spinster first opened her eyes on this disappointing existence, but in New York neighbors and friends are scattered by moving vans once a year and all knowledge of that event is buried. If asked by her young friends to tell of her sweetheart days she may, if she chooses, dig into her past for an acquaintance on whom she may hang a wreath of romance without hearing from some Susie's mother: "Why, he was never in love with her; he scarcely knew her!" Her past is all her own in New York City, to lay away in lavender and get out on suitable occasions; to laugh over it to cry over it, to romance over it, to make momentous occasions of sweet nothings. Her future is never so much her own in a small town as it is in a city like New York, owing to the criticisms and unpleasantly good memories of the mothers of Susie. 135th St. Library Notes The date of Mr. Hubert Harrison's Christmas talk has been changed from Thursday, Dec. 18, to Monday, Dec. 23. His subject will be "The Christmas Spirit in Literature." All are invited. Nine of those mothers answered that they had never taken the trouble to find out anything on the subject. The tenth also admitted her ignorance, but explained that she thought that nature would take its course with baby's teeth. She was partially right. Nature will aid, but nature must be helped. Before the teeth come, for instance, the mother should wash the baby's mouth—t. gums, the roof of the mouth—with a solution of boric acid and water or lime water. Baby's first teeth come in, four in number, at about the age of six to eight months, and four more make their appearance at the end of the first year. The first molars arrive when the child has reached fourteen months; the cuspidus and eye teeth at eighteen months. By the end of baby's second year all of baby's teeth are in position. When the child reaches 6 years of age the baby teeth gradually lose their roots, and the six-year molar breaks through, pushing the baby molars out of the way. It is at this period that the average child begins to have trouble. Sometimes the permanent teeth come easily, assuming straight formation in the jaw. Again the coming of the permanent teeth is painful and irritating. Statistics show that it is between the ages of 9 and 10 that most children fag in their studies. The watchful mother will see that the new teeth have a fair chance of coming out, without too much resistance from the first teeth. If the permanent teeth are not all out at 10 years of age they should be extracted, otherwise the permanent tooth will become impacted under the gums, and there is grave danger that it will remain there, causing all sorts of trouble, throwing the other tooth out of perfect alignment and disfiguring the face of the child in after years. During infancy baby is encouraged in all sorts of habits which spell doom to the teeth. Father's first gift to baby invariably is a bone or hard rubber pacifier, or a hard nipple, or hard toothing ring or beads. Mother thinks it is cunning when baby sticks its trump into its mouth and thus forms the thumb-sucking habit. Many a grown person with "buck teeth," receding jaws, is the victim of its parents' neglect or ignorance. The six-year molar is the cornerstone of the mouth, yet between 80 and 90 percent of one hundred thousand school children of New York, examined at the Mouth Hygiene and Health Show in one week, had already either lost the six-year molar, or this was so badly decayed that there was no hope of saving it. There is a wrong impression that the six-year molar is a baby tooth, and, like the rest of the baby teeth, will be replaced by permanent teeth. It is a permanent tooth, and the most important tooth and the most neglected tooth. Once it is lost it will never be replaced by nature. The other teeth will come in irregular and baby will grow up with a weak jaw. ```markdown ``` HAIR TROUBLE LET GALVACURA STOP YOUR HAIR FALLING LET US SHOW you an interesting guest account of the remarkable women obtained from GALVACURA by Mr. John Ingleby.

DISPOSITION OF NEGRO WOMEN IN BUYING DISPOSITION OF NEGRO WOMEN IN BUYING Why Do They Prefer White Dealers to Those of Their Own Race? Our Men Have Like Weakness To the Editor of the Woman's Page: Please allow me space in your great new paper to sound a warning note to the women of our race. "No race can rise, higher than its women." In this it is clear that in the rise or fall of a race, the women are an important factor. How can our women of today expect to see the rise of our race when, as a matter of fact, the majority of them continue to see outside of the race, is not clear. Aside from other fields, I have observed time and again that Negro women will deliberately walk past a Negro's grocery store or vegetable stand and make their purchase from stores and stands that are run by men of other races. Just this morning, while standing at the corner of 137th street and Lenox avenue, this was in evil when I counted eight women and three girls, all Negroes, waiting patiently on an Italian vender, while less than 25 yards away on the same side a Negro man stood up with both hands, in his pockets, evidently observing them from his vegetable stand. Show me the white woman who will pass up a white man's business and patronize that of a Negro and you will show me a very rare creature. The white man succeeds in business because the woman who spends his money sees and spends within the white race. If Negro men are to succeed as business men the same things must happen. Negro women must see and spend their man's money within the Negro race. If they continue to ignore their own men and see only those of other races there is but one thing for which our race can hope—doom and destruction. An awakened, sane, sober and race-conscience Negro womanhood can avert this end. J. MILTON BATSON, New York City, Dec. 7.

THE STRENGTH OF UNITY IN GETTING RESULTS The editor of the Woman's Department of the Negro World has been requested to publish the following very interesting address on "Unity," delivered before the Jackson, Miss., local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by Miss Eva Davis. The address follows; "It affords me great pleasure to present, to you a paper on the subject 'Unity.' Since we are trying to unite together, I could not think of any better subject than this one, 'Unity.' If we do not love one another, we will not have much power with God, and we cannot be successful in our work until we invite the Almighty and let the Holy Spirit have its free course in our hearts. You notice that when the power of God came upon the lovely church it was when they 'were all of one accord. I believe the blessing of Pentecost never would have been given but for that spirit of unity. If they had been divided and quarreling among themselves, do you think that the Holy Ghost, would have come and those thousands been converted? Where there is bickering divisions, and where the spirit of unity is absent, there is very little blessing and praise. It is the cunning trick of the devil to divide us and destroy us. "We ought to endure much and sacrifices much rather than permit discord and division to prevail in our hearts. Paul writes that there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, and there are different administrations, but the same Lord. Where there is union I do not believe that any power, earthly or infernal, can stand before the work. If we love one another and pray for one another, there will be success. God will not disappoint us. Our weakness has been the cause of our divisions. There should be no division among us. There is no division among those who love the Lord Jesus Christ. In I. Cor. 1:10, Paul writes: 'Now I beseech you, brotheren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the thing, and that there be no division among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.' I do not know what Paul and Cephas would think if they should come back to the world. They would find a strange state of things. To see how God's family is divided in this present day is one of the most humiliating things. If you love the Lord Jesus Christ the burden of your heart would be that God will bring us closer together so that we may love one another and rise above all party feeling. Oh, may God make us one-hearted, and of one mind! And let our hearts be like drops of water flowing together! "Unity among God's people is a sort of foretaste of heaven. There we shall not find any Baptists, Methodists, Congregationalists or Episcopallians. We shall all be one in Christ. We leave all our party names behind us when we leave this earth. Oh, that the Spirit of God may speedily sweep away all these miserable walls that we, have been building up! Did you ever notice that the last prayer that Jesus prayed on earth before they led him away to Calvary was that his disciples might all be one? He could look down the stream of time and see that division would come; how Satan would try to divide the flock of God. "Nothing will silence infidels as quickly as Christians being united; then our testimony will have weight with the ungodly and careless. But when they see that Christians are divided, they will not believe their How to Make Others Love You To charm and fascinate whom you to make others think, act and feel as you will, you need a mystery to spain and lura to english women.

REASON WHY CANNED FOOD SHOULD BE BRANDED (From the New York Times) Dr. Charles Thom of the Federal Bureau of Chemistry, addressing the New Jersey Sanitary Association at Atlantic City last week, took up the old question of canned foods and gave earnest warning of the danger that lies in such goods if their consumption is too long delayed. He called special attention to the risks involved when the acids originally in, or developed by, the contents of the cans have time to dissolve an appreciable part of the containing metal, for these metallic salts are all highly poisonous. The protection of the public from this peril, Mr. Thom insisted, could be achieved only by branding or otherwise permanently marking every can with the date when it was put up. That has been suggested many times before, but always it has elicited more or less angry protests from the canners and those who sell their wares, for the public has a strong impression that "canned goods" deteriorate with the passage of time. It would become more and more difficult to sell such goods as the date they bore became remote from the day of purchase, and finally it would be impossible. Dr. Thom said that cans of food often stand or as many as five years on a grocer's shelves before they are sold, and he more than intimated that much sooner than that canned goods were worse than worthless—were distinctly and directly unhealthful. Even when the food contents of metal cans contain no acids, a slow deterioration goes on, beginning almost at once and proceeding steadily. For a period not yet definitely ascertained, and varying with the nature of the food and the conditions in which the cans are kept, this deterioration is hardly measurable, and the food is not appreciably injurious. It therefore might be a commercial, hardship if all cans were branded with the exact day and month of putting up, but 'there can be no reasonable or honest objection to marking the year of preservation. If any foods will stand keeping longer than a year, the fact can be ascertained and the public educated as to the limits of time during which the several foods safely may be eaten from cans. That sales should not be made after those limits are passed is obvious. STRANGE POWER! G. W. H. nannyapp, undecided, in doubt, worried, not well? Business, domestic, social, love affair wrong?

Marcus Garvey, Directeur-Editeur Comment les noirs devraient célébrer la Noël-Dépenser moins, réfléchir davantage—La race devrait encourager le nouvel effort commercial et industrial—Le grand voyage vers les Antillés et l'Amérique du centre devrait interesser tous ceux qui ont besoin de se recréer—Le progres du noir telle est la devise de cette grande organisation pour la nouvelle Année 1925 Dans très peu de jours' nous aurons à commemorer la plus grande fête de la Chretiente: l'anniversaire de la naissance de l'Homme-Dieu qui nous adorons sous le vocable de Jésus-Christ, le Sauveur et le Redempteur du monde. Tous les ans la chretienté voit venir avec de joyeuses anticipations le retour de cette date. C'est un événement universellement acclamé. Il coincide avec l'époque où tout le genre humain s'approite à faire; de nouvelles combinaison, d'opérer des reformes matérielles ou morales; aussi nous les millions de membres de la Universal Negro Improvement Association dont une partie est chretienne et l'autre mahometiane, nous venons unir nos voix à celles de la fouje joyeuse—ne serait-ce que pour nous réjouir de l'espoir, du salut par le'moyen d'un arrangement nouveau des affaires humaines. L'influence qu'exerce la Universal Negro Improvement Association sur le Chrècien qui sur le Mahometar est la même. Les deux Initiateurs de l'un et de l'autre de ces deux formes de religion, furent également des Noirs; par conséquent nous devrons nous prosterner avec une noble fierté aux pieds de leurs autels. Jésus fut avil, honni, persécute et crucifice, non parcequ'il fut un Juif, mais parcequ'il fut un homme de Couleur et celui dont l'espère correspondait le plus à la description du Fils de Dieu, faite par les Voyants. Ce fult le mécontentement et le sentiment de préjugé éprouve par ceux qui s'attendait à le voir paraitre sous des traits différents qui leur fit réclamer sa crucifixion comme un moyen de de défaire lui, sous prétexte qu'il n'était qui un imposteur. La crucifixion de Jésus-Christ, il ya que deux mille siècles fut motive par le même préjugé qui porte la populace à l'ynchar un Noir innocent dans la Gorjie, le Texas, et le Mississippi ces jours-ci. Cependant, tout en commémorant la Noël, nous les Noirs n'allons pas en faire uniquement une occasion de festin, de frijolite et de gaieeté. Outre le caractère sacré de la fête, nous devrions y introduire un élément de service sérieux à la race; un service tel que la toujours preconise la U. N. I. A. N. Ne dempensons pas en un seul jour tout ce que nous avons économise durant l'année, pour nous réveiller le lendemain du premier de l'année un sou vaillant. Dans certaines parties de ce pays et dans d'autres sections du monde, la coutume a toujours prévalu pour le Noir de dissiper tout son avoir durant les quelques jours de gaieeté qu'apporte la Noël. Ceci a été une grave erreur de la part du Noir. Nous désirions que notre peuple se montre plus sensé et plus sérieux à l'avenir. C'est pourquoi en anticipation des fêtes de fin d'année et avant qu'elles n'arrivent, nous venons conseiller à tous et à chacun de ne pas laisser emporter par le courant de leurs anciens us et coutumes, mais de se déverrer à faire de cette saison de rejouissance une source de inspirations productive de plus d'efforts et de plus de services envers nous-temps comme corres social. Quanti à nous autres de la U. N. L. A. nous voyons venir l'Année 1925 comme une des plus encourageantes dans nos efforts d'ascension et d'évolution raciales. Elle ne pourra réaliser ces promesses que si nous avons le courage de nous vouer à la discipline qui est indispensable à tous bons résultats. Ainsi done, au lieu de dissiper toutes nos économies au cours des fêtes de cette fin d'année, dépensons-en seulement une partie et employons le reste dans quelque entreprise susceptible de promouvoir l'avancement de la race. Aucun projet on entrée ne-saurait être plus digne de notre encouragement économique que ceux qu'a lance la Black Gross Navigation and Trading Company, laquelle s'efforce, avec le concours de FU. N.

Nous nous efforçons de poser pour les générations promontées un fondement sur lequel les générations à venir pourront édifier une situation matérielle et sociale de plus avantageuse pour celles qui leur succéderont. Ditirant cette saison de Noël, tout Noir devrait se faire un devoir de restreindre ses dépenses personnels et de prédevenir sur les épargnes ainsi réaliser ses projets. La on qui l'on se proposait de dépenser $200, qu'on en dépense $100 et qu'on suscreve le reste à la B. C. N. & T. Co. Si vous aviez l'intention de dépenser $50, dépensez-en $25 et préte-nous le reste. Si tous les Noirs des Antilles, des Amériques du Sud et du Centre mettions cette recommendation à exécution, nous émergerions de la Noël en la Nouvelle Amiece, non-seullement avec l'ame plus sereinie, mais aussi avec un sentiment de courage et de commencement d'indépendance écologique, qui nous permettrait de regarder l'Avenir bien en face. J'adresse aussi un appel à tous ceux qui ont quelque moyens et je les convie à faire le voyage avec nous aux-Antilles et ailleurs à hord du bateau Booker T. Washington dont nous avons fait acquisition. Ce bateau est bien aménagé. Il possède tous les conforts des,trans- atlantiques modernes et il sera commandé par des officiers blancs et noirs de réelle valeur. Le trajet durera trente et un jours et ne coûte que $350. le service de primière classe. Hest à souhaiter que toutes les sections se feront un devoir d'y envoyer un déligue. Le president on le secretaire des sections respectives sont tout indiqués pour faire-cette excursion en qualité de délégues ou représentants de chacune des divisions de la U. N. I. A. Aussi comptons nous beaucoup sur leur presence. Nous prions également nos membres de s'addresser à leurs amis et à les engager à faire ce voyage. Nous ferons tout ge qui depend de nous pour leur trouver des accommodations: Avec les voeux les meilleurs, j'ai l'honneur d'être, $0.75 1.25 2.50 Mr Hannibal Price a été nommé Envoyé Extraordinaire et Ministre Plénipotentiaire d'Haiti à Washington, en remplacement de Mr Leon Dejean, appelé à d'autres fonctions.

Récemment, les journaux publi- aient ces deux étonnantes nouvelles: Un mathématicien allemand a passé l'hiver dernier à calculer combien la découverte de l'Amerique coita exactement à la couronne d'Espagne. D'après ses recherchos, l'expédition entière, dirigée par Christophe Colomb, revint tout juste à 7,250 dollars. Il suppose que la plus grande partie de cette somme a été procurée par les bijoux de la reine Isabelle, qui les aurait engagés pour fournir les fonds. Ce ne serait done que quatre cent trente ans après la découverte de l'Amerique qui ouait appris combien cie a cointé et que la reine Isabelle, pour payer les frais, mit ses bijoux au Mont-de-Piète. Et, naturellement, c'est un Allenand qui a trouvé cela. Ces Allemands... tout de même. Or, remarque malicusement M. Marint -André, dans "L'Amerique latine": 1. Le "matematicien allemand" n'est pas le premier qui ait cherché le coût exact de l'expédition de Christophe Colomb. Ses précécesseurs n'ont pu s'acorder, et ce n'est pas, qui aura tranché la difficulté. Il n'est pas beson d'être un grand matematicien ni de travailleur "tout un hiver" pour trouver le total des dépenses d'une entreprise, d'une affaire quelconque. Il n'y a qu'à avoir sous les vous les céments et faire une addition. Un Inaudi, fut-il Allemand et travailil-il tout un hiver et même des années, sera dans l'impossibilité de préciser le prix total de la villégiature d'une famille parisienne à Mendon, pendant trois mois, s'il ignore le poix de location d'une villa ou celui du blanchissage. Nos place sobremanera que el mundo cristiano de todas las razas admite que el Salvador de toda la humanidad es el Cristo, el hombre de tez oscura que fué clavado a la cruz en el Calvario, por la redención de nuestros pecados. A medida que celebramos universalmente las navidades, no hemos de olvidar qué todo no ha de ser regocijo y diversión, sino que debemos injectar además el virus de la seriedad de servicios a la raza, los cuales esta organización ha demandado siempre de parte de sus miembros en todas partes. No gastemos todo cuanto poseamos en esta estación de navidades; no invirtamos en un dia lo que hemos economizado en un año y nos veamos en el nuevo año sin recursos y aún dependientes. On sait, depuis quatre cent trente ans, ce que coûta exactement à la couronne de Castille et non "à la couronne d'Espagne" (la couronne d'Espagne n'existait pas en 1402) la découverte de l'Amerique: un million de maravedis. En outre, Martin Alonso donna, dit-on, 500,000 maravedis. Il y eut d'autres dépenses dont le détail est introuvable et n'a probablement jamais été inscrit dans un livre de comptabilité. Acceptons pourtant, comme approximatif, le chiffre d'un million et demi de maravedis. Oui, mais combien vaut en notre monnaie-or d'ajourgardien le maravedis de 1427? On n'en sait rien. Le "mathematicien allemand" a trouvé pour le total de frais de l'expédition 7,250 dollars, tandis qu'un savant américain, Harrise, arrive à la somme de 2,360,000 dollars, qui es evidemment et formidablement evagérée. En ciertos puntos de este país y del globo, nuestro elemento dispone de todo cuanto posee durante los pocos momentos de alegría que viene con las navidades, y esto ha sido un error de antaño de parte de nuestra raza; aspiramos a que nuestro pueblo actue mas inteligentemente en todas las ocaciones, y por ello, antes de que ese periodo de inversion llegue, queremos advertir a todos el no ser por más tiempo presa de tal antiguo y mal hábito, y que sea dicho periodo de navidades una inspiración de grandes servicios y mayores realizaciones en nuestro provecho. 2. Le "mathematicien allomand" a découvert, au cours de l'hiver de 1921-1922, que la reine Isabelle a engagé ses bijoux pour fournir les fonds. On pluot il la suppose ! (Ce n'est pas quelque chose de bien nouveau, c'est même une très vieille histoire, car elle est daps les ouvertes du P. Las Casas, contemporain de Colomb et de la reine. Mais elle présente un grave défaut: elle est fausse. C'est une des mille, et utre inventions du monomane de la fantaisie, de l'erreur et du ménosue qu'ait le Père Las Casas. La preuve est faite. Tendemos nuestra vista hacia el año venidero y concebimos en él una gran palanca para nuestra esfuerzos con el objeto de llegar a la cúspe de nuestras aspiraciones; ello puede realizarse disciplinándonos a la clase de cooperación necesaria para obtener buenos resultados. En vez de gastar todo cuanto tengámos en la estación de navidades, económica y cuidadosamente usemos una parte y coloquemos la otra sobre la base de un buen propósito. Ningún otro puede ser recomendado a la raza que el de la corporación naviera Cruz Negra, la cual se esfuerza, por medio de la organización, en establecer para la raza una nueva era comercial e industrial. La Priere de l'orphelin O toi dont l'oreille s'incline Au nid du pauvre passereau Au brin d'herbe sur la colline Qui soupire après un peu d'eau. Providence qui les console Toi qui sait de que le humble main S'échappe la secrète obole Dont le pauvre achète son pain. Charge-toi, séul, o Providence De connaître nos bienfaireurs Et de puiser, leurs récompenses Dans les trésors de tes faveurs. Qu'un voeu qui dans leurs coeurs commence Que leurs soupiirs les plus voiles Soient exaucés dans ta clemence Avant de l'être révélés. De la misma manera que Cristo hace mas de dos mil años, nos dio una nueva era cristiana que ha venido a ser el guia y la ayuda de las edades, nuestra organización nos brinda hoy dia una nueva era industrial y comercial, una fundación que nosotros en la generación presente debemos colocar en-base sólida, para el mejoramiento en general de las generaciones futuras. Si todos y cada uno de nosotros en este país, en centro y sur America y en las Antillas seguimos al pie de la letra las advertencias de la organización en cuanto a economía y cooperación concierne, nos solamente saldremos de las navidades y entraremos en un nuevo año con un nuevo espiritu, sino que con mayores esperanzas afrontaremos nuestro porvenir. Perdido en el anónimo de esta gran ciudad; ignorado entre la turbamuita que se agita afanosamente por subsistir, vivo acá en un rincón de vuestra cosmopolita, Habana. Modo como nuestra raza debe conmomerar las navidades— Menos gasto de dinero y mayor concentración de nuestra mente—La raza debe cooperar al nuevo movimiento industrial y comercial—La gran excursion a la Antillas y Centro America debe interesar a todos los que deseen espansión de espiritu—Progreso es la nueva contraseña de la organización en el año próximo Lei vuestro saludo y sirvan, anites que nada, estas lineas de respuesta a el y de parabien a vuestro intento. Yo, también, hermand mio, siento el mismo vuestro dolor; yo, también, en la noche de mis pesares por nuestros males, gimo, aguilucho herido por el destino, las injusticias de nuestro medio; yo, también, me debato, virilmente, por hacerme oir entre el fragor de tantos errores, entre el estruendo de tantas inconciencias. Dentro de un corto periodo de tiempo, estaremos celebrando de nuevo el más grande de todos los aniversarios, esto es, el natalicio de un ser conocido por nosotros como el Salvador. Año por año las navidades significan un periodo de jubilo, para los millones de aquellos que profesan la fe cristiana. Vienen en la época cuando el mundo civilizado hace resoluciones para la labor del nuevo año, y así mismo nosotros, los millones de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, cristianos los unos y mahometanos los otros, nos unimos a la masa alegre en esta época del año, sino para rendir alabanzas por el nacimiento de Cristo, para por lo menos formar parte de la gran multitud que ve salvación en el reajuste de los acontecimientos humanos. Bien se, como vos, cuán ardua es esta tarea. Pero, ¿porqué no, hermano? Rememoremos. Figuraqs ser dueño de un manso y regalado retiro. Patrímonio es de vuestra estirpe y allí, por luengos años, nacieron, sucesión por sucesión, todos los miembros de vuestra familia. ; Cuanto amais todo eso! Todos los dias: se cievan las plegarias de vuestro carino que pide a las hadas bienaventuranza para aquel trozo de tierra, paraje donde, desde el mas tienyo y delicado arbolillo hasta el techo que os cobija, objeto-son de vuestro amor. Cuánto placer no sentis cuando, por cualquier motivo os alejáis y despues retournéis! Todo parece que sonrie y se alborosa a vuestra llegada; bestias y hombres, todos, os dan la bienvenida. La influencia que nuestra organización ejerce sobre cristianos y mahometanos es la misma; los dos carácteres directores de estas dos religiones eran miembros de la raza, por consiguiente, debemos estar orgullosos de venerar su memoria. Jesús fue burlado, injuriado, sometido a prisión y finalmente crucificado, no simplemente por el hecho de su descendencia hebrea, sino mas bien por el color de su prel y el único que respondía a la descripción del hijo de Dios. El descontento y el prejuicio de aquellos que esperaban que el Cristo viniera al mundo en otra personalidad, fue la causa de que insistieran en su inmediata crucificación. Ella fue instigada hace mas de dos mil años, por el mismo prejuicio que instiga a los que linchan a negros inocentes en los estados del sur de este país en el presente. Un dia, imprevistamente, vuestro retiro es violado por gente extraña y sois arrebatado de el violentemente, después de haberos defendido encarnizadamente, secumbiendo algunos de los vuestros en la lucha. O, quizás no, el eugano prendió vuestras vidas a un misero destino y la lucha se hizo imposible por la artera abilidad de vuestros victimaros. ¡Oh, dolor! Maniintados, en una caravana de cautivos vais. Tras de vosotros, sentis los aulidos de las hienas y de los chacales que, por el sendero de término ignorado, van dandos cortejo. Atrofiados vuestros cerebros por la sorpresa y el cancancio, no podeis comprender en vuestro estupor doloroso, cuales vuestra desgracia. Sentis un quejido angustioso y se os estremece el alma. Tratais de mirar a vuestra espalla y no podeis; lo impiden unos mudo, coymela ignominiosa que se afianza en vuestros hombros y rodea vuestro cuello para impediriros huir y de donde pende vuestro misero bagaje o la rapiña de vuestros verdugos. No os fatigues ni traeis de retrasaros en vuestra marcha; vuestros coguidetores os apalea; hasta mataros si os resistis a caminar. Vuestra resistencia ha de ser inflaquable y vuestra salud inquebrantable, pues, vuestra sentencia de muette se rendiros antes del alto o enfermaros; así no podreis ser vendidos a buen precio; Dios se apiade de vosotros! ¿Os asombta esas hosamentas blanqueadas por la intemperie? No os asombreis; es el rastro inhumano de la iniquidid, es la bueł'a macabra de otra caravana. Esos son los despojos de otros que, mas dichosos que vosotros, rindieron, lejos de sus hogares quizás, pero en su tierra natal, el viaje dolores de la vida. *Vuestra caravana, también, va dejando su rastro, festin horripilante de bienas y chacales, que van tras de vosotros guiados por su instinto, cono los escusos tras la estela de los buques; en vuestro espeluznante corgejo, son los únicos que os despedían con un postre aulido u os devoran el sumbis antes de rendir la jornada. Llega a la costa. Ali os espera un barco tripulado por gente de aspecto sombrío y faz hosa. Son de color distinto-al vuestro y os arreconjan en la obscura cael del barco que se balancea y cruje sobre las aguas como un pajaro sombrío. Que adonda os llevarán? Vais allá, lejos de vuestras tierras, a tierras, americanas, desde donde no volverse jamás. Vuestro viacrucies termina con vuestra vida. No volvisteis a contemplar vuestros amados bosques. Viva en vuestra mente la imagen de vuestro hogar perdido, la nostalgia os consumia. Llorasteis por todos los dias de vuestra vida, la ausencia de vuestros seres amados. El latigo, la improba labor y la melancolia, mino vuestro orgánismo y fino vuestra vida abatida por el dolor. infinitamente espiricordios. Por donemos, hermano, a lo bombarde du aquel tiempo, hijos, no de Dia, que de su epoca. Nosotros soquen los herederos de aquellos migrantes. Elos se ofrecieron en holocausto a lo que somos hoy. Así lo disposo la providencia, que la iniquidad de una epoca hiciera sus victimas a aquellos cuyos descendientes habrán de tremolar el estandarte de la civilización. Ya suena el clarin. Vayamos a la conquista del derecho. Victimas del latrocinio los hijos del Africa, se internar en sus bosques para llorar su dolor. Ellos no conocen la fuerza del derecho; sus códigos primitivos solo les habla del derecho de la fuerza y, la fuerza, es del mas manoso. Palmo a palmo, el despojo se realiza y es en nombre de la civilización que esto se ejcuta. | Que destino cruel condenar a estos infelices! Esclavos del hombre y de la ignorancia, no tienen mas culto que la barbari ni es otra escuela que el servilismo. Vemos que tienen nuestro mismo color; que, quizas, nuestra rama geneológica de hojarasca alla por esas tierras, al ser abatida por la iniquidad de la trata. | No sentis que se revela todo vuestro ser su sola remembración? | Oh la trata...! Al africa, pues, hijos del dercheo! Revindiquemos la memoria de nuestro antepasado, levantando un pueblo, libre y civilizado donde se arrastra una tribu de siervos e ignorantes. Dóorosa es la visión del pasado y el presente de Africa, hermano. Debemos hablar de el? No, hermano; laboremos para el porvenir. Ya se alza en el horizonte nuestro sol que alumbrate el nuevo dia. Laboremos, hermano; laboremos. Miguel G. Casanoro. Diciembre, de 1924, Habana, Cuba.
