LET'S PUT IT ON THE WEB The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Intelligent Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 21 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1925 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS FOR NEGROES EVERYWHERE Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: We have now entered upon the life of the new year of 1925. It is customary that we make resolutions touching our conduct and behavior for each new year. It is well, therefore, that we at the very commencement of 1925 resolve what we shall do during the succeeding months that will tend not only to enhance our individual, material interest, but our racial common good. Interested in All The Universal Negro Improvement Association is interested in the whole congregation of the race. We feel that as a group, we must grow and develop together or stagnate and die together. There is no doubt that a race that exercises no effort to maintain its own interests sooner or later dies. It is the jeopardy of our racial destruction that forces the Universal Negro Improvement Association in promulgating a universal enthusiasm with the hope of stirring the life of each and every one to the greatest action for self preservation. With that in view we call upon each unit of the race at this time to make his and her resolution in keeping with the high purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We want more united action for 1925, more co-operative willingness to do and a greater amount of sympathy than we have shown in past years. We have suffered terribly from lack of internal sympathy in the past. In fact, instead of sympathizing with the efforts of ourselves toward progress, different groups and units of us constituted ourselves stumbling blocks to handicap the progress of everything started outside of ourselves for the good of our race. It is that spirit that caused us to have suffered so much in time and money in promoting the colonization plans. Today, the Universal Negro Improvement Association would have been able to re- BIG PROGRAM OF CO-OPERATION FOR ALL FORCES SHOULD BE UNITED FOR COMMON GOOD EFFORT OF BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY CALLS FOR UNITED ACTION port not only to the race. But to the whole world, an unparalleled progress in colonial colonization work but for the wicked influence of other groups of the Negro race, who went out of their way to harass, handicap and thwart the program undertaken by us. Enemies of the Race There is no doubt about it that Charles Dunbar King, present President of Liberia, along with his cohorts in America, will go down as the greatest enemy the race in Africa has ever had and probably will ever know. Consciously or unconsciously, he has stood in the way of Negro progress and has written down his name as an enemy of the black race not only in Liberia, Africa, but in the entire world. Whatever could have led him to thwart the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in executing its plan of helping to develop Liberia is yet known only to himself because up to now no honest reason can be adduced. This has been a great blow to the race, but with faith and confidence in ourselves we feel that the time is not far distant when Liberia will be able to save herself from the personal greed and graft of those who trampled her growth for personal gain and reasons. Work Not Yet Begun Yet, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association toward the development of the race is not yet begun. As announced, our effort toward the higher industrial, commercial and economic development of the race will not be charged with the usual propaganda method, but we will during the year 1925 adopt those principles and policies that will best serve the object aimed at. We hope for a closer union of spirit between all the sections of the Negro race. We pray that the entire year 1925 will bring about such changes as will enable each and every one of us to breathe freer in the atmosphere of human changes that happen daily around us. We ask that each member of the race during this year give whatsoever support possible to the new effort of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and help put over this proposition and to make it the success that we want it to be. Not only members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but readers of The Negro World everywhere should do their part to promote this new enterprise. We want help and of the right kind. We need co-operation everywhere to assist us to put over the new program, and this should be the resolve of each and every one for the new year. Thanking you in anticipation of this cooperation, with very best wishes, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant, MARCUS-GARVEY. President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York City, January 1, 1924. P. S.-Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to pay in their annual assessment tax immediately. The tax becomes due on the 1st of January, and every member of good standing must pay this tax.

Members should see that all local officers make their regular report and make each division financial with the Parent Body as to the 31st of December, 1924. NASHVILLE CITIZENS CHALLENGE MOB RULE Wage and Race Question Landry Topics—Vigorous Stand Taken by Representatives of 20,000,000 American Protestants R. B. ELEAZER AMBILTA. Ga. Dis. — The Christi- shipping of race relations was a major tight at the quadrennial meeting of the Federal Council of Churches, just concluded here. That subject shared with war alone the first place in the thought and discussions of the council, which is compared of 400 representa- tives of twenty-eight denominations having an aggregate membership of twenty million. Five entire sessions were given over wholly to the question of race relations, while incidentally the subject was constantly coming for- ward throughout the entire week of the meeting. The Council Commission on the Church and Race Relations, through its secretary, Dr. Geo. B. Haynes, pointed out many favorable indications, notably the decrease of 75 per cent in lynchings in the last two years. The campaign against this crime is to be pressed with unremitting vigor, said Dr. Mayne. The commission has assisted in setting up in seventeen Northern cities local interracial committee to work along the same lines as those organized in the South by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, with whom the Federal Council body is affiliated. These seventeen cities are Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Gary, Martford, Indiana, Kansas City, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Tulsa, Wichita and Youngstown. "The most outstanding achievement" concludes the report. "In the fact that the organized Protestant churches of America have assumed seriously and aggressively the task of marshalling the forces of conscience, intelligence and conviction to attack the hoary order of this situation and to pres Christian ideals of faith informed upon public opinion and interpersonal contacts of America. . . . There has been a tremendous response of approval from the public, and there has come a new consciousness of power and reality of practical religion to the churches and church leaders themselves." A number of powerful appeals for the application of Christian principles to race relations were made from the platform, the chief speakers being Dr. Ashby Jones, chairman of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation; Bishop P. P. Boese, President John Hope of Morrow House; Bishop Gen. C. Clements, and Dr. E. T. Johnson. The council adopted a vigorous paper on this subject, setting forth its principles and outlining policies for the next four years. This will be given to the press at an early date. Among the delegates attending the meeting were representatives of a number of colored denominations having membership in the council, among these bodies being the Northern Baptist Convention, the C. M. E., A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches. 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Shanda Awakened in One Day" in the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-nine-Year-Old Veteran.

I am grateful." Mr. C. A. Browne of London, a valued sympathiser of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, sent the editor of the London Daily World the following questions: 1. Will you explain to me how Great Britain got possession of Egypt in 1888, and remained there in spite of the fact that Egypt was technically a part of the Turkish Empire? 2. And it is a fact British and France nearly come to war in 1838, when a certain Col. Meymand, crossing Central Africa from the west coast, tried at Panada to剿 the upper Nile. The foreign editor of the London Daily Herald answered Mr. Brown as follows: 1. The answer to your first question is that British troops were sent into Egypt in order to suppress the Nationalist Movement of the Egyptian Army against the Khodiva. Promises were given and frequently repeated that the troops would be withdrawn as soon as possible. They are, as you know, still there. On the outbreak of war, the definite secession of Egypt from the Turkish Empire and the establishment of a British Protectorate were proclaimed. Turkey gave up all her rights in Egypt in the Treaty of Lausanne. 2. In reply to your second question, it is a fact that a French Expedition under Col. Marchand crossing Africa from west to east reached Fenda on the Nile just at the time of Lord Kitchener's final victory over the Mahdlets at Omdurman. There was a sharp crisis and a lot of war talk in both places, but finally the French agreed to withdraw and leave the whole Nile Vallys under British control. FAKE FILM PROMOTER MADE MANY DUPES Negroes of St. Louis Fall Victims to the Craze for Movie Fame, Just as Many Whites Fall—Only 45 Negro Film Actors ST. LOUIS, Mo. Jan. 2—Visions of movie careers in which 400 colored investors of St. Louis pictured them- selves riding in limousines and chatt- ing intimately with the famous stars of Hollywood, vanished recently when Al Edwarda, a fake Negro pro- moter, departed for parts unknown, leaving his future movie stars the fol- lowing note: "To all my movie stars and my many colored friends of this most splendid city, St. Louis, I wish to thank you, one and all, for generous contributions. My only regret is I cannot personally appear before you each and every one to thank you personally. I could, but I can't, because I am gone, just gone. You may sing this to He Cone and Stole My Confidence, sir." According to "Variety," Edwards arrived in the black belt and announced he was general manager of the greatest Negro moving picture company in the world. Edwards backed up his announcement with loud clothes and a smooth tongue. He opened an office and sent out word he needed "100 beautiful Negroes" for a film entitled "Jingle of the Jungle." A day or two later his office was crowded with applicants. Edwards explained it would be necessary to charge each $1.50 to ensure their sincerity and that they would show up when the special train pulled out for Hollywood, Cal. More money rolled in until Edwards finally left ward he would be waiting for his future movie stars on the special train which departed at 7:12. On his desk in the office he left the above note for his secretary. Engaged at the increased stock selling activities of various fake promoters throughout the country, the various film organizations, the California State Bureau of Labor and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce are continually sending out warnings to the public. Last week Deputy Labor Commissioner of California ordered the Kahn Kid Koenndy Co. to pay wage claims of $212.60 for services of children whose parents had bought stock in the organization under an agreement that their little ones would be employed. Of the 25,000 persons who are here at the various adult employment agencies in Los Angeles, only one out of every 60 has a possible chance of actually employment as a movie actor, and out of the 25,000 there are only 60 selected the actors who make their public living from employment in pictures, and not one of them was able to be invited or even a chance share of stock in the companies in which he is employed. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1938 Agents in Thirty-one Virginia Counties Make Plans for Community Betterment in 1925—Have Co-operation of State and Nation HAMPTON, W. Va., Dec. 28. Negro farm and home demonstration agents of Virginia recently met at Hampton Institute under the auspices of the Virginia A. and M. College and Polytechnic Institute and the U. S. Department of Agriculture and outlined the 1928 program of work, which will be carried out in 31 counties to help rural families meet their economic and social needs through community organizations and local initiatives. John B. Pierce of Hampton Institute, who is the special agent for Negro demonstration work in Virginia and seven other states, presided. In 1925 adult farm-demonstration work for Negro citizens of Virginia will include the growing of corn, hay and hogs for home supply and soil improvement with the use of legumes and green manure crops, as well as terracing and liming. There will also be established in 24 counties of Virginia breeding centers for the family cow and hog. There will also be established all-round poultry demonstration centers through which men and women will learn the value of having sanitary houses for their poultry and introducing pure-bred cocktails into their flocks. Careful attention will be paid to problems of poultry management. The usual farmers' conferences, county farms and county tours for the purpose of inspecting demonstrations and rural improvements will form a part of the 1925 program. The work for Negro boys, organized as "tarm-kinsers' clubs," will include corn-growing for larger yields per acre, the tattening of pigs, the holding of club rallied for the purpose of spreading interest in club work for boys, and the training of demonstration teams. Negro boys will continue to operate demonstrations in growing peanut, cotton, soya beans, potatoes, cow peas and poultry. The Negro boys of Virginia will also send exhibits to the 1955 Richmond State Fair and the Tidewater Fair, which is held in Suffolk. The home-demonstration agents, during 1925, will organize the Negro women of seven counties into home-demonstration club, which will give special attention to the making of a better grade of clothing, especially underwear, the making of rugs, the improving of kitchens, the beautification of homes, the planting of home gardens, and the raising of poultry for profit. These agents will make a special effect to assist farmers in canning whole beef. They will aim to help the farmers secure a greater variety and economy to diet by introducing the use of beef to offset the excessive use of pork and to conserve for the farmers the beef which they produce but usually have to dispose of quickly. These home demonstration agents will also, organize Negro girls into home makeovers club, which will give special attention to canning, cooking, sawing, poultry, room improvement and gardening demonstrations. The aim of all this work is to improve the home life of the Negro citizens of Virginia. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, welcomed the agents and referred to the growth of the principle of co-operation, which is helping farmers throughout the world. At a general assembly of, the Hampton Institute workers and students, O. E. Martin, Washington, D. C., who is in charge of Southern Division, U. S. Extention Work, spoke on "The Relation of Seaman K. Knapp to the Development of Extension Services During the Park Twenty Years." He stated that there are today at work in the South nearly 300 colored agents, and that there are over 4,000 men and women engaged in extension work. "Doctor Knapp," he added, "started with the reconstruction of the home and magnified the home as a civilizing force." BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY One of the happiest places in the great city of New York on Christmas Day was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Tumulman on West 120th street, when they entertained a large number of friends in honor of the thirty-sixth anniversary of the birth of their beloved mother, Mrs. White, of St. Amm, the garden parish of Jenkins, B. W. I. Mrs. Tumulman prayed an extremely generous benediction. While tempelhoven Geysers trumped No. 1 light fixture two to their hearts outside. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Putton, Mr. and Mrs. Wren, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Kya, White, Mrs. Miyamoto, Mrs. McClung, Mineau Mrs. Kiyota, Alderton, Fulford, Dr. L. B. Bigham, Mr. C. Bigham, Mr. Henry Smith and Mr. W. A. Mayer. Deplorable Condition of the People Who Are Neglected by the Government, Misled by White Missionaries and Robbed by White Planters and Other Employers of Labor To the Editor of The Negro World: As a reader of your paper I desire to give your readers a short sketch of the conditions under which the black man of South Africa has to contend and labor with from day to day. I am the minister in charge of the United Church, Hankey, Cato Produce, South Africa. The church has been founded for the unification of the black man of South Africa, today divided among the various sects and denominations under European control, and it is the aim and object of these denominations to keep the black man divided as much as possible, knowing that in division there lies weakness. And these denominations keep the black man to a certain decree only and over that degree he must not advance for fear he will become capable of managing his own affairs and thereby seeparez the white man's supremacy. As the Idea is to make South Africa a white man's country by book or crook, hence these various missionary societies and denominations are kept and controlled by European influence and power, especially to keep the poor blacks in ignorance and division. But the great sin and pity is that the large number of black followers of these societies and denominations are ignorant of the fact that they are financially and otherwise strengthening the hands of their oppressors. Under the cloak of religion they are posing as their friends and benefactors. The followers and supporters among the black race in South Africa are approximately 300,000. Just think to what extent the African race is the stumbling block of their own progress. And yet as followers and supporters of these societies and denominations they are not allowed to sit on their boards of control or management and if one is he is nine times out of ten a mere figurehead. This is not an educational institute, but it is under control of Europeans and their curriculum, is obsolete. But what does it matter? It's good enough for the black. Technical institutes for black students there is none. The government of South Africa has lately opened in various places technical training institutes for Europeans only. And we have not even heard that any of these good men who are supposed to look after the interest and welfare of the black man have raised their voices against the unholy bar. If sermons, antiquities and hallucinous songs are only things needful to fit the African to compete with the world's economic system and to play his part in the great battle of life which is starting him in the face—well, then. God have mercy upon us. Africa has been marked upon this map as the "Dark Continent," and that is true, for in spite of the so-called advancement of civilization, many dark deeds are still perpetrated in this land, under the very eyes of civilized men and women. Thousands of black men and women are in the midst of cities and towns living in fifth and dirt, and why? Because they are oppressed, despised and rejected of men—men who believe and call themselves Christians. Here in this very town of Hankay a mission station of 100 years old under the London Missionary Society, there are many who can't even write their names, and they have been robbed of all their land by the London Missionary Society, and now these poor people have to live out among the farmers, their house are huts made of branches daubed with mud, and these houses often contain only one room, which serves as kitchen, dining-room and bedroom to father, mother, sons and daughters. The wages of the father under these farmers is no more than $4 a month, with which he has to keep and support himself and family, and be gets an allowance of three buckets of money per month. The children grow up untrained and uneducated, with no else or outlook in life, and no one seems to care. Even the educational department of the government has told me (as you will see from enclosed letter) that it has no money for these blacks, when I appealed to it. Just think, the government, the trustees of the people, saying it has no money to educate them. What is the future outlook to 'o'? And yet the single in America is 'African for the African." Is there any one of such much such conditions? What we want in South Africa today, if we desire to make 'African for the African' a reality, is more black men and black women of the higher status who are sentenced by the life blood of the spirit and by the feelings of the threshing heart, who will offer my and question themselves, their lives and命命, and it is a purely investment, to encourage their brethren from such open possibilities as are providing in South Africa today. I came to this conclusion to tell and so I have already returned I found the people laboring under those conditions, and today I have on the roll over 200 of our brethren who have emancipated themselves from the bonds of European lordship, and they have now their own church and school grounds at Hankey and Patentu, and they have opened in hired premises to another small town called Lovia a church and school. The school has a roll of 40 children. We intend. If finance allows, to build a school at Patentu. At Hankey we also intend to begin shortly, as we only have a temporary building for the present. I can assure you and your readers that this has cost much labor and sacrifice, but the Lord has been with us. But there is yet much to do and we are in urgent need of £1,000 to build the necessary classrooms and other buildings. And if we desire to inspire hope into the African race, that Africa will yet be for the African, then it is essential that the work shall be speedily done. Will, therefore now, the hearts of our brethren and friends in America respond to this urgent call and contribute of their charity to this noble work? No gift is too large nor too small and it will be duly acknowledged. Let the year 1825 be to us a year of "Acta con Verba." And with my best wish to all and The Negro World, yours sincerely. REV. G. MATTHEW DRAYE. Secretary General to the Holy United Church. Hankey. C. S. South Africa. It seems to be a widespread impression that the Treasury Department, in trying to popularize the silver dollar again, wishes to substitute this bulky coin completely for the paper dollars now in use. That impression, as the recent statement of Secretary Melton makes clear, mistaken one. No such radical change in our customary currency is contemplated. Briefly, the problem of the Treasury Department is that: Secretary Mellon reveals—and the figure is almost if not actually astounding—that a paper dollar costs 1.7 cents to manufacture and keep in circulation. Few persons who have the good luck to own an American dollar bill realize the expense they are causing the Government when they handle that precious bit of paper carelessly. It wears out quickly. If it is printed and immediately rushed into circulation it wears out in seven or eight months. If it is held long enough to "season" it will last from ten to eleven months. The demand for paper dollars is so great, however, that it is now necessary to print and put in circulation 14,000,000 of these bills each month, and the Treasury has been unable to accumulate a reserve to use for seasoning. If the public can be persuaded to take 10,000,000 silver dollars the Treasury would have an opportunity to accumulate this reserve, and as silver dollars last indefinitely the Treasury figures that it could save through these silver dollars alone $23,000 a year. The existence of 40,000,000 more silver dollars in our currency system therefore would not mean a very radical change. There were 79,000,000 of these silver dollars outstanding in 1915, and there are still outstanding 44,000,000. The addition of 40,000,000 new silver dollars would bring the total up to only 94,000,000, whereas there are about 400,000,000 of paper dollars now in circulation. In other words, whereas there is now approximately one silver dollar to every eight paper dollars, the success of the Government's plan would mean that there would be approximately two silver dollars for every eight paper dollars. Doubtless when the Treasury's politically conservative purpose is more fully understood it will be able to secure the cooperation of the public in getting the additional silver dollars into circulation. It is possible that the West, which at present absorbs practically all of the outstanding silver dollars, should this new supply. It would be more difficult to put them into circulation here in the United States, given they will force them upon teachers who do not want them and small retail traders will not like to give them in change to reluctant businesses. The result may be that even if put in payable so financially supported, the silver dollars Natives of the United States reported training Service The Big Howl About the Prince's Appearance at Liberty Hall Seems Like So Much Childishness, but That Is Very Common From the Cleveland "Herald" The eminent W. E. W. B. DuBois and his colleagues are raising a hornet's nest around the head of Prince Kojo Toualon-Heuenou, prince of Dahomey, because the illustrious African prince recently condescended to be entertained and presented to an audience at Liberty Hall by Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. So wrought up have Dr. Du Bois and his immediate circle become over Price Kojo's notice of Mr. Garvey, they have administered an official snub to the prince by calling off his proposed tour under the management of Walter F. White, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is real child's play—a spied child at that. It smacks of the attitude such as young children assume when they dare their fellows to play in anyone else's yard—if they would remain in favor. Thus would Dr. Du Bois administer a reluke to Prince Kojo for deigning to accept Mr. Garvey's hospitality. The Herald holds no brief for Marcus Garvey. It does not believe that Mr. Garvey needs our defense. He has demonstrated, whether one cares to admit it or not, that he has the stuff of leadership in him. What other man or his time or generation has so definitely lined up an abiding following of our people—a following to which there is such a thing as hero worship among us. Mr. Garvey is the one Negro who has been able to demand and receive it in full measure. Laboring under the handleback of being a West, Indian, in a land where Negroes, themselves denied full privileges, are ready to "cold-shoulder" other Negroes who, are not born in these United States, Mr. Garvey has rammed himself, down the threat of American Negroes, and his ramming has been felt nationally and internationally. We are not concerned as to what kind of a man he is, although Garvey is a force to be responded with in black America—and that Prince Kojo did not commit any serious act of indiscretion when he accepted the invitation of Marion Garvey? Mr. Garvey has been able to do the very thing that Du Bois and his cult have vainly tried. He has developed racial consciousness and solidarity within his ranks. Let Du Bois or any of his crowd point to so concrete an example of success, Garvey has made mistakes, but what of them? He has put over as fine a bit of organization work as America has ever witnessed. And more, he has put it over despite the barking of jealous dogs at his heels. Let any other assumed leader among us in America face the handicaps which Garvey has been forced to endure—and yet emerges triumphant and undiscredited. Mr. Garvey has come from out of the Tombs prison in New York City, still a hero, uninspired. Move to Make British Columbia White Country VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 4. (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—The Native Sons of Canada, in association with all the principle service and fraternal clubs of Vancouver, have called a meeting for the second week in the new year, at which schemes will be discussed by which British Columbia will be kept for the white race. Canada's drive to eliminate the Orientalists is followed by a new movement in Australia to exclude from their shores in addition to its present restrictions on the various colored races the influx of Jugo-Siays, Greeks and other Southern Europeans diverted to Australia from the United States. This movement will restrict these people to 100 entrants per month, preference being given to those having some knowledge of English, possessing some capital and intending to join close relatives. would quickly find their way back into banks. Any attempt to mold the whole circulation of silver dollars instead of paper dollars would probably cost the public a great deal more than the Treasury could give. Possibly and politically wanting not much quickly would be only a small part of the cost; that public would be subjected to a daily rationale for relief from which it would doubtlessly gladly pay a small tax. But the Treasury Department ought to show outregation for its invest modern program. City Horror Stricken at Crime and Prompt Action Demanded—Perpetrators Must Be Hunted Down, Say Churchmen, Citizens and Newspapers NASHVILLE. Tean. Dec. 18.—The leaching-hear this city Monday night of Sam Smith. Negro youth, has attired the community as it has, not been stirred in years. The whole city is fired with indignation, and from all quarter come demands that the murderer a apprehended and punished The Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday and offered a reward of $5,000 for their arrest and conviction. Eleven hundred dollars of the amount was subscribed on the spot and a committee was appointed to raise the balance at once. The Rotary and Exchange clubs, the Ministerial Alliance, the presidents of all the colleges, the secretaries of the Southern Methodist Mission-Board and a group of prominent business men each met and issued statements condemning the crime in unmeasured terms and calling upon the officials to bring the perpetrators to justice. Personal statements to the same effect were given to the press by many leading citizens, including Mayor House, President W. R. Cole, of the N. C. & St. L. Railroad; Dr. W. W. Weatherford and J. D. Burton, chairman and secretary of the State Interracial Committee; Bishop E. D. Muenon, of the Methodist Church South, the presidents of the various civic clubs and many others. Both daily papers are joining vigorously in the chorus of condemnation and in the demand that the law be vindicated. No more daunting crime has ever been committed in this city, says the Tennessee. It was a revelation to should be run down and revealed and then indicted and brought to trial. The officers must go to it at once and there must be no failure. Our people will look to then for quick action and will be satisfied with nothing short of a complete rounding up of every culprit who was a party to the crime." Smith, who had shot and wounded a white man a few miles from Nashville, had himself been wounded, placed under arrest and sent for treatment to the general hospital here. Monday night masked man raided the hospital and took the wounded youth to the scene of the shooting. There they hanged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. This is the first lynching in Tennessee since 1922 and the sixth in the past seven years. It was believed that the State had about rid itself of this crime, and keen humiliation is felt because of this new outbreak. establish their complete independence of the white race. He quotes the newspapers of Cape Town to the effect that the Zulus are securely arming. The authorities at Pretoria, it is said, learned that a fund which the natives were collecting ostensibly for church building was actually destined for use in buying arms and ammunition. The natives of Southwest Africa are also said to be greatly disaffected. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN Say "Bayer Aspirin" INSIST!

JINGOES AND JAPANESE BARON-HAYASHI is the Japanese ambassador to England. It is an ambassador's duty to maintain smooth relations between his country and the country to which he is sent; also to deprecate reports of friction between his country and any other. Thus Baron Hayashi is speaking as an ambassador should when he says that the relations between Washington and Tokyo were never better than now. That may be true of the two capitals; it is not true of the two countries and their people. Baron Hayashi censures "the jingo elements," but the jingoes did not make the bad feeling between the two populations, unless we should call men like Woodrow Wilson jingoes. One of the greatest insults in modern history was given at Versailles when Woodrow Wilson refused to recognize the Japanese as the equals of the white race. The Japanese are proud and sensitive. Naturally they were angry, just as the Americans would be if a European should say that we are not the equal of France or England. The land trouble in California was not started by the jingo element but by American farmers who found Japanese competition too hot for them. The recent immigration exclusion bill was not put through by jingoes, but by responsible American senators. The jingoes cannot make trouble between nations unless the statesmen first give them cause. Why not blame the statesmen? SAVE THE PENNIES AND THE DOLLARS WILL SAVE THEMSELVES THIS is the time of year when your purse tells how you have been treating it. Some purses have been strained to the last degree, others are about as plump as they were before the holiday fever. Many folks will grieve for months to come about that expensive present they made for some one who is wondering why they didn't spend the money on a relative or friend who really needed it. If we all could be invisible when some of our friends pass remarks on presents, we would give to only our tried and true friends. It would even seem more Christian like to give to the poor and we would have happier hearts. As we pass from the old year into the new it is well for the readers of The Negro World, especially members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to let the pennies make the dollars and not the dollars make the pennies. Money values everywhere, with the individual, race and nation, constitute the developing potentiality which makes for industrialism so necessary to keep the wheels of modern civilization going. Sober-sided intelligence dictates to the most backward people that there are lean years and fat years. If the proper provisions are made during the fat years it will lessen the hardships of the lean years. If we would only instill into the minds of our children the idea of saving their pennies and appreciating their value, the tots would want to see how much they can save. Some youngsters love to go on errands, so they may put the change or tip in their bank. It is a great encouragement to any young person for the older ones to add a reasonable sum once in a while and keep them interested in maintaining a bank account. The Christmas savings account is quite in order for all who have not opened one as get. Many people have the wrong conception of a Christmas savings account. For those who don't make many gifts at Christmas the money can be used for many things. To the average home-owner it can help pay taxes without drawing from the personal account. That is only one of the many ways. Unless we save the pennies first, the dollars will never multiply. Let us regain the extra penny as a very important factor and swell our bank accounts and purses by cultivating the saving virtue. "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" AND ITS AUTHOR AGAIN AFTER many years "Uncle Toni's Cabin" is about to be revived in New York. We wonder how many of the present generation of Negroes have read the book on which that play is founded, and how many appreciate the great part if played in freeing the Negro from slavery. For eighty years before that book was written humanitarians had tried to arouse the moral sentiment of the country against human slavery. The first American anti-slavery society, if our memory is right, was organized in Philadelphia, in 1771. From that time on the agitation persisted. The northern States discontinued slavery, and by the time the Revolutionary War ended practically all the slaves were in the South. The slavery question came up in the constitutional Convention of 1787, and nearly broke up the newly-organized union. The northern States insisted that slavery be abolished then and there; the southern States opposed them bitterly, and finally compromised, agreeing that after 1808 no same year that Missouri and Maine were admitted to the union. Henry Clay's diplomacy effected the famous Missouri compromise, which staved off the Civil War. Than Daniel Webster, in his great speech of 1830, put off the day of reckoning still further. All this time the abolitionists had been publishing pamphlets and statistics to expose the horrible conditions of slavery. But pamphlets and statistics, though convincing to the reason, cannot reach men's emotions. There was no concrete, personal figure of slavery for men's imaginations to seize upon. This figure at last appeared, in or about 1850, in the hero of a novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Harriet Beecher Stowe. This book roused the entire nation; it made converts by the hundred thousand. No longer was there any doubt that the North was ready to fight for human freedom. Abraham Lincoln called Mrs. Stowe the little woman who made the great war, and he was right. To the Negro the influence of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" should be an incentive to him in artistic endeavor. For this there are two reasons. One is that art knows no color. A beautiful voice like that of Roland Hayes, a wonderful painting like H.O. Tanner's "The Annunciation," will have its way, making thousands of friends for the artist's race. The second reason is that though our business and professional men are building a good foundation, the public does not know it, for it does not see them. But in a Roland Hayes holding three thousand people spellbound, they see and feel a concrete instance of a race making good. BALDWINS AND BALDHEADS ENGLISH punsters are making merry over the fact that the present cabinet, led by a man with the bald name of Baldwin, is composed largely of baldheaded men. Now that we think of it, there is a sort of fanciful connection between a bald head and conservatism. We always think of radicals as men with long hair. Dashing men generally have a shock of hair, while baldheaded men are neither noisy in speech nor precipitate in action. A bald head seems a guaranty of caution and solidity; one somehow feels that it will not take as many chances as long hair will. Many men are sensitive about their hairless cranium, and nearly all men are apprehensive when they find their hair thinning out. But why should they worry? After all, so long as a man is not a cripple it does not matter much what he looks like. As for charm, some of the greatest heartbreakers have been bald men. The great fact about a man is his success or failure in life. The successful man is always handsome. BARON VON GEDEON'S EXPEDITION A ROMANTIC bit of news is that of Baron Aladar Von Gedeon, of Hungary, who is about to transport 5,000 of his tenants and followers to Western Canada, there to spend the rest of their days. He lost most of his estates during the great war and he and his people are tired of the old world. The Canadian government has given the baron its full approval. This moving of 1,100 families at one stroke over a distance of 6,000 miles reminds one of the emigration of the Pilgrams from England to America. It will not bring the same hardships because the facilities of travel have enormously improved in the last three centuries and there will be no hostile tribesmen to fight after the settlers reach their destination. The baron evidently is a man of action, not of words. He doesn't like a place, so he picks up and leaves it. Why is his example not followed by the thousands of Socialists and Communists in this country who are forever cursing the America, that gives them three square meals a day? Canada and Australia are large enough for all of them. All hail and good luck to the baron. JULES JUSSERAND AND THE LIBERTY BELL JULES JUSSERAND, for many years the French ambassador to the United States, is saying farewell to this country—farewell as an ambassador. When and if he returns to America he will come as a private citizen. At Philadelphia the other day he said, half humorously and half seriously: "I hope to return to see how you are following Franklin's admonitions—to see if the Liberty Bell still is ringing in the hearts of your citizens." After all, it takes a European to size up the American people. Once an American boasted to Bernard Shaw that in this country the people dictate. Shaw agreed with him but dryly added that the people first asked the political bosses to tell them what to dictate. For about thirty years Monsieur Jusserand has represented France in America, and has doubledless sat at a thousand banquets and luncheons listening to orators who boasted of American liberty. But he has kept his eyes open, as Frenchmen usually do, and he has seen that boasted liberty violated, and stultified every day, all over the country. He has seen the Jim Crow cars, the disenfranchisement of Negro voters, the personal insults, the atrocious lynchings. He has seen an organization, the Ku Klux Klan, deriding religious liberty, one of the bulwarks of the Constitution. As an ambassador, he said nothing, which was very proper, but we will wager he saw everything. Now, upon his departure, he sums it up neatly by saying he wishes to see if the Liberty Bell will be still ringing in the American heart when he comes to us again. It may be ringing but it may be badly cracked. THE DUCHESS AND THE SNOBS THE newspaper wits had a lot of fun with the recent visit of the royal Russian grand duchess to this country. This lady is the wife of the Grand Duke Gyril, a member of the Romanoff family, who aspires to the throne from which the late Czar Nicholas was so suddenly jolted. The royal lady was invited to this country by the Monday Opera Club, a group of New York society women. Their president, Mrs. Henry Loomis, said she would use the grand duchess's reception as a means of determining "Who's Who" in New York society. Whoever was invited was "in" and whoever was not invited was "out." The reception came off. The grand duchess sat on a chair and New York men and women contended for the honor of going on their knees and kissing her hand. The rest of America looked on in disgust. Even if the lady were the actual Czarina of Russia, or the former Czarina, the spectacle would have been offensive enough to American democracy. But this lady was not even a has-been. She merely aspires to the Russian throne, a throne which does not exist, and on this shadow of a shadow American society flung itself in abject homage. Not for a moment, however, do we think the grand duchess is a fool. She knew well enough what she was being used for, and upon her departure she cryptically said, "Yes, I have leapt a great deal during my visit, more than you would think." Strange thoughts must have simmered in her mind as she watched the American snob, on their knees before her in a country whose supposed ideal is democracy. She was probably thinking, with Barnum, that there MUSINGS ON THE PASSING OF THE OLD YEAR It is a time-honored custom to turn over a new leaf with the incoming of the New Year. Most Christians celebrate the Christmas holidays with more or less of lavishment, abandon, trying to forget disagreeable incidents that marred the life of the Old Year, and not a few drink heavily and draw on the vital forces by late hours and much feasting. Somehow I sympathize with all phases of life and the ups and downs of all sorts of people. It may be because I have lived long and gone through most of the phases incident to life, and if I were of a desponding disposition I should regard life as a hardship, in which we find little to rejoice at and much to sorrow for, for there is always much darkness and but little sunshine in the lives of most people. It has been so, with me. But what is the use of repining? What is the use of magnifying the hardships and minimizing the real benefits of living? It is very easy to find fault with everything and to find little to praise. It depends upon the person. This I am sure of, we cannot better our condition of living by looking on the dark side of life and regarding lightly the few things that come to us that make for lasting benefit. It is what we call "the stiff upper lip" that takes us farthest in our own esteem and the esteem of our neighbors. There are some people who are sombre by nature, and who carry gloom wherever they go, and people do not like them, they are not popular, but they cannot help it; they are built that way. We should sympathize with them, as they would be different if they could. I do not imagine that they get any pleasure out of their gloom and in scattering it among others. On the other hand, there are many people, and perhaps the larger part, who have the cheerful disposition and spread sunshine all over themselves, and those with whom they come in contact. They are the people who appear to get the most out of living. They never appear to be cast down, never to be discouraged, and they enthuse others with the sunshine of their lives. Let us all strive with the coming of the New Year to serve the high ends of existence to the best of our ability. It will be best for us and the race to so strive. The Negro people need such examples of striving more than any other group of the citizenship, perhaps, because they have more obstacles to overcome not only in the matter of bread-winning but in most of the relations of citizenship. "Help ye one another," said Jesus to the brethren, and no better message was given to men. Service for others, when you can first help yourself, is one of the most satisfying things in living. Selfishness has its own reward, and it is seldom a satisfying one. Let us stand together and fight together against all obstacles for the things that are highest and best in living. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. B. B. HERBEN of the New York Tuberculosis Association Merry Christmas! To the Editor and to the staff which has been handling this column for these many months, and to each and every one of the readers of The Negro World no matter where they may be, I send my heartiest greetings and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May your New Year, which shall dawn in the space of a few days, be prosperous. May your opportunities for service to your own souls, your kindred, and that greater body of "relatives," not so distant either, called humanity, increase with the days, and less prosperity lose its meaning, and service become dull, may your perception of the secret things which make for the happiness grow keener and brighter than the hidden or manifest stars of every night which passes over you in 1925. Having prosperity, power for service and the inner satisfaction of mind, you can meet whatever else helps come to you unrailed, and it shall leave you unmatticed. And that you may not only have the Christmas and this New Year, but many many happy years to come, with a twinkle in my eye and a shuttle, I shall drink (If I do, I may this company drink just a moment). TO YOUR HEALTH! MY HEALTH! YOUR HEALTH! I went to hear a lady Sunday night, A lady who is foremost in the fight To free us from the grasp of Serfdom's hand And lead us forth into the promised land. Where Freedom sits enthroned upon the hills And waits to, bring us out of all the ills Wherewith we are oppressed. O, happy thought; And blest be he who first conceived and fought To realize the dream and formed the plan Whereby the Negro may become a man. I sat enraptured as I heard her speak, Condemn the mighty, and defend the weak; Tell how we've suffered in this alien land, Ruled by the white man with an iron hand; Then heard her tell of Afric's sunny clime, Of untold wealth in gold and diamond mine. Of olive yards and vineyards, luscious fruits; Plants medicinal and healing roots— Ivory-bearing animals, and bright plumed birds— She paints the picture in most glowing words How you and I, and all might live in style In grand and lordly castles on the Nile. And as I sat there spellbound, lo, I dreamed; A vision of the far-off future seemed To pass before my gaze, and I could hear The noise of conflict, and the cry of fear, The sob of anguish and the moan of pain; Whilst shot and shell in ceaseless torrents rain; Shuddering, I sat there with abated breath And fancied I could hear the groans of death. A change came over the spirit of my dream— Methought that they who would this land redeem By war and blood but thwart the will of Him Who died to rid the world of hate and sin Lost in deep reverie and meditation. There was vouchsafed to me a revelation Of what should come to pass in course of time. A consummation glorious and sublime, Behold I saw the peoples of the earth Stray from their native land that gave them birth And mingling with the nations far and wide. The migrator, analgamating tide. Spread over all the world till men became One kindred and one tongue, and then the reign Of peace on earth began, and warfare ceased. Intolerance and Prejudice released Their grip upon the soul of sin and hailed The bright millennial dawn, for love prevailed. And every man had learned to grasp another By the hand and recognize a brother.

It is this sort of supremacy and solidarity that will ultimately trumph. We know that "no race has a corner on these ideas.

The colored citizens have only to be thankful for the privilege and liberty granted to them as citizens. Our white newspapers are liberal, without price or cost, anything that is of interest among the colored people, if taken to their press, they will put it, in with pleasure. More patronage on the part of the colored people should be given to the daily newspapers, especially church notices, and other happenings. The race should not expect to get all from the other race and give nothing.

How much better you feel when you know that in making your monthly installments that you are saving your money which will pay some day not far distant generous returns, the security and consciousness of the fact that if misfortune does not over take you in a few years you will be a property owner and a tax payer gives one a wonderful feeling of satisfaction. Misfortune if it does overtake you it will just as quick when paying rent as it will buying a home and in the case of paying rent you have no come back, no redresses nothing you can call your own, while on the other hand you will always be able to realize something in buying a home you have all to gain and nothing to lose. We as Negroes own one out of every four homes owned in this country, let us keep the good work up. It is estimated that we started in 1866 with about 12,000 homes owned, it was found in 1880 when the first census of proprietorship of homes was taken that the Negroes had acquired ownership of 264,253 homes. The census of 1910 recorded that Negroes owned 660,650 homes. Negroes now own over six hundred thousand homes; that is one home out of every four which they have established in owned. This is a remarkable show and has a great significance. For the future of the race. It is also to see that any people starting with the handship of poverty and ignorance who can in such a few years become owners of one-fourth of all the homes which they have are making money along those lines which make high standards of education. HOME OWNERSHIP IS SAFE AND GOOD INVESTMENT From The Toledo Leader To own your home should be the mark at which we should strive to reach, you are not only enriched in dollars and cents, but in security and freedom. It also gives you prestige and you are looked upon by the rest of the world just a few notches higher than the yellow who cannot see any further than his nose and continues to pay rent, buying something for some one else, something that he cannot fully enjoy. It is very simple and you cannot help but realize that if you are a renter at the end of ten years all you have left is a nice new package of rept reculpts, and who knows, when you will be asked to vacate or worse still to have your rent raised. How often has it occurred that folks have lived in houses for years and the property at length beomes uninhabitable and you are asked to look for other quarters, the house in the meantime is torn down; and a new structure replaces the old one, after it is completed and you require us to the price now for rent and to the possibility. When the rent is more than you can afford to pay, you cannot help but see that you have been the end that featured a condition that was conducive to your own culture. Now those of you who have not made that must begin looking around and purchase some piece that you may call yourself." The who is com- JURY SYSTEM BREAKING DOWN IN BRITISH COLONIES An article on "British Justice and Native Races," by Mr. John H. Harris, M.P., in the October number of the "Contemporary Review," reveals the fact that it is not only South African Juries who display color bias. Cases as bad as, if not worse than, those which have attracted notice here are entirely unknown in the British town colonies and dependencies. A recent trial in the colony of Kenya a European named Jaspar Abraham, of Molo, was proved to have personally flogged a native servant for some trivial offense with much severity, until he was too tired to continue. He then induced three natives, one after another, to carry on the flogging. Klitos lapsed into unconsciousness, but even then his sufferings were not ended, for upon recovering his senses he was further ill-treated, and finally bound hand and foot with ropes. He died the following evening. The jury returned a verdict not of murder or manslaughter, but merely of "grievous hurt," and the judge sentenced the accused to two years' imprisonment. The case was brought to the notice of the Colonial Office, and the Duke of Devonshire, who was then in office, instead of returning an evasive, if not flippant, reply, after the fashion of our Own Minister of Justice (Mr. Teilman Roos), referred the records of the trial to his legal advisers. They expressed the opinion that "a verdict of anything less than manslaughter was quite irreconcilable with the facts. A verdict of manslaughter would, no doubt, have involved a more adequate punishment." And the Colonial Secretary himself, in dispatch to the Governor, wrote: So long as this condition of affairs remains, the jury system can I must, therefore, lay it down as a definite instruction that, in any future High Court cases in which a native or a non-native is charged with causing death or bodily hurt to a non-native or native respectively, a shorthand report of the trial must be furnished to me, in order that I may be in a better position to judge, with the assistance of my legal advisers, to what extent justice is being impartially administered between the two races. By a coincidence, The Argus recently made a similar suggestion, viz., that verbatim shorthand reports should be taken of all trials of the type of the recent one at Standerton. If the Minister of Justice refuses to arrange for this to be done, then we hope that the matter will be taken in hand by some unofficial body, so that it may no longer be possible for the government to plead that it is unsafe to form an opinion from mere newspaper reports. The Anglican Synod were well advised yesterday to pass the amendment of the Bishop of Pretoria, rather than the original motion by Father Rand, dealing with the administration of justice, in cases involving the possibility of color prejudice. Father Rand's motion, severely censuring the Department of Justice, showed a wrong conception of the legal system of the country. If inadequate sentences are sometimes passed in cases of violence against natives, it is not the Department of Justice, but the magistrates, judges and juries, and principally the juries, who are to blame. This is no new controversy, and it is perhaps its most discouraging feature that there should so often be cause for its revival. Robinson was made in the Street discussion to the recent Sunderton even, upon which we have already commenced. The judge's summation was published in The Argus yesterday. While it might certainly have been more emphatic on certain points it can hardly be supported that there was multi-direction. The judge, however, is partly responsible for the light occasion, the circumstances calling for the heaviest penalty that the verdict of the jury would permit. Tuesday, June 11. The Argus published a report of the trial of a spontaneous on a charge capable homicide at the Harwittmouth Court. The convict had deceived two native women who were trespassing in a bag when a man pulled up to see them very closely at the women being detained and guessed that the suspicious man had be The acceptable said he "we about to arrest" the native when the latter ran away. He fired and fatally wounded him. The defender was that he had fired only to frighten the boy, and on the strength of this totally inadequate excuse for his criminal recklessness, the jury found him not guilty. At Heddellberg four white men charged with culpable homicide by stoning a native to death. They said they threw stones at him to frighten him away; and were hortified to find that he was dead. They were sentenced to be detained till the rising of the court, thought it should be mentioned that they had been five months in custody. All these cases lend color to the suspicion that if white men had been the victim the verdicts and sentences would have been very different. It is a lamentable indictment, but it is nevertheless true that the average white jury cannot be depended upon to meet out justice in cases of this sort, at any rate in some parts of the country. For this reason its is advisable that such cases should be tried by a judge without a jury. A judge besides being trained to reverence the law, which the jury can, if they choose, disregard altogether, has a greater sense of responsibility than a body of average citizens. A judge must inevitably be influenced by that great maxim, "Let justice be done through the heavens fall," and it is difficult to conceive that he would consciously allow his judgment to be deflected by color prejudice. Another remedy would be greater public interest, and to this end it is worth consideration whether societies interested in the welfare of the native could not arrange for an independent verbatim shorthand report to be taken of certain trials, so that they may be armed with a complete knowledge of everything that has taken place. If there were reason to conclude that there had been a miscarriage of justice they would then be in a position to frame an indictment, based on the actual evidence. The knowledge that such a record was in existence would be a valuable check on irresponsible juries and too lenient magistrates and judges, and would strengthen the hands of those who on grounds of public policy, if not from higher considerations, view with dismay, all cases which afford the faintest ground for suspicion that the courts of this country are liable to be awaived by color prejudice.

This is the time when all Negroes must be concerned about the building up of our African continent. We at present mean to lay down a very strong and lasting foundation under the able leadership of the Hon. Marvin Garvey, and in building up a nation we have to build industrially, materially, commercially, financially, spiritually and educationally. When it comes to education, we have to be very careful so that the rising generation will not be forced to accept any old stuff and call it knowledge. This is the time when we must make our own history. There is never anything good that is published about Negroes except that to make him feel ashamed of himself and to let him wish that he was a white man. We have to be on the lookout for the kind of books that will fall in the hands of our Negro children. Combine directly to the point, I mean to tell the whole world that no far an Negroes are concerned the Star Reader books sold by T. Nelson & Sons, Ltd., London, Paternoster Row, Edinburgh, and New York, are absolutely no good. These books are called "The Royal Star Reader" school series. For many years the Negro has been like an old pin cushion, and any part of Europe that the old rusty plus come from, they all stick themselves in the Negro. Any old worthless idea they try to put it into us, and we like feels, accept it as knowledge, not knowing that these folks only mean to grind their axes in our face. With our now realization today we do not mean to accept theory, but facts. Let white men tell us of the good that Negroes can do, even though they did not feel to tell us, or to publish all that we have gone in the European way, of 1914 to 1918. With that experience, we are no more cowards, nor have we forgotten all that we have seen over there, but that part of it we will tell you another time. At present I am dealing with "The Royal Star Reader, Second Book." In this book, page 115, the reading lesson is "The Negro." This lesson has 13 paragraphs, and I shall number them in order: (1). Here is a Negro. His home is chiefly in Africa. Africa is a large continent to the south of Europe. It is in the hottest part of the earth. (2). Negro means "black"; the Negro has a very black skin. His lips are thick. His teeth are very white. His nose in broad and flat. His hair is short, crisp and woolly. (3). The Negroes often wear only a cloth round their waist. They are very fond of fine colors, and they wear the brightest colored pieces of cloth they can get. They are also very fond of heads. All who can get them wear a string around their neck. (4). Many Africans use shells for money, instead of coins, like ours. A great many are sent every year from England to the coast of Africa to be used in buying and selling. (5). Much gold is found in Africa. It is mixed with the soil. After each shower of rain the streams carry down sand laden with gold. Gold dust is one of the chief things we get from Africa. (6). Living in such a hot country the natives do not care to work much. Some travelers say that as a people they are very lazy, and that they like to rest in the shade. (7). They carry everything on their heads. A story is told of a white man who once provided some Negroes with wheel-barrows. In which to convey stones for him. They put one stone into each barrow, and carry the stones and the barrows on their heads. (8). Here are some African dwellings. How very different from the stone-and-lind houses of the white man. They are rude round huts just enough to shelter their owners from the heat of the sun. (9). At one time large numbers of Negroes were stolen from their homes in Africa and taken to America. There they were forced to work as slaves on the cotton and sugar lands. (10). Some years ago slavery was done away with in North America. There are at the present time several millions of freed slaves in that country. (11). But in Africa Negroes hold one another in slavery! When war takes place between two tribes, the prisoners of war become the slaves of the tribe which has beaten them. (13). During the last few years we have learned much about the home of the Negro from travelers who have braved great dangers and taken journeys of thousands of miles in Africa. (14). They tell us that it is a beautiful continent with many large rivers and lakes. It is the home of many wild animals, among which are the largest lions and monkeys. Now, this is the kind of lesson Negroes should not like to learn because there is nothing good in it. The greater part of it is filled with deployable lies so as to let Negro children think of themselves. And you must see then that this in the policy of the Englishman for us the Negro to poison himself. Even the Negro preacher today are telling us some of this rotten RACE CONDITIONS IN BRITISH HONDURAS REVIEWED The Statements Made in the Negro World of November 1, by Rev. Burchill, Challenged by Mr. Richardson — Negro Clergy Sidetracked—Attitude of Europeans To the Editor of The Negro World: I desire the following published in The Negro World: "Contradictions of Rev. F. T. Burchill's untruthful statements about Bellice, British Honduras, which were written to Mr. Merrick of Wesley Guild, Cork, Ireland, and published in The Negro World of November 1, 1924. His writing was dated February 15, 1924." As a son of the soil of Eelice, British Honduras, but now residing in Puerto Castilla, Republic of Honduras, I now take the steps of controlling that highly appreciated gentleman (in the eyes of many) but in mine for his truthfulness), Mr. Burchell. I am doing this not for the benefit of all the inhabitants of British Honduras, but for those and myself who would like Mr. Burchell to know that above all things (the being a so-called man of God), he should speak the truth, especially if he is compelled to supply his associates at home with the topics of his surroundings. To be analyzed by those who are concerned or interested: (1) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.—Ex. xx:16. (2) He that smiteth a man so that he die shall he surely put to death; and, if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor to stay him with gulle, thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.—Ex. xx:12-14. (3) Thy tongue deceiveeth ruthenites like a sharp razor deceiveeth ruthenites, thou lovest evil more than good and dying rather than to speak righteousness. Thou lovest all desoutting words, O thou deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee forever. He shall take thee away and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place and root thee out of the land of the living; the righteous also shall see and fear and shall laugh at him.—Pel. 52:2-6. "Foats from the Pen of the Writer" Mr. Burchill stated that very little is known anywhere about this little strip of the empire, but I will venture to say it is only to him, and all others like himself (who have not studied geography any further than their nopoints), that very little is known to Mr. Burchill, who must have spent all his life in the mountains of his home until he was shipped to the Western Methodist Division of British Honduras. He further stated that it is a low-lying district, which makes it unhealthy for Europeans. I want to know how long it takes a man to know an unhealthy place, and why he stays there for at least two years after knowing it. I am conscious of the fact that British Honduras has such Europeans as English, Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, etc. some of whom, if anything should arise so as to cause each and every one to find his respective home would commit suicide rather than leave the swamps of British Honduras. Many of them went there as mere boys, some of whom were paupers, castaways, loafers, etc. Some could not even as much as change the suit they landed in, if they were not pitted by someone else. Today they are men who are reaping great harvest of riches from swampy British Honduras to enrich their so-called good countries (as Mr. Burchill is doing today). There is certainly no water system, all on account of the greed of the Europeans, who are all raking and scraping for themselves, and nothing for the needs of the colony. I am quite certain that the natives of British Honduras, or any honest-minded forigner, do not find any difficulty in keeping things dry and free from mildew. I would like Mr. Burchill to study the cardinal points and see if the cold and atting winds are not from the north. He also needs to be reminded how to count; then see if there are not more roads than two in Bellize. The week of October 4, 1922, the day Mr. Burchill landed in Belize, was about the thirty-ninth week of the year. How could he ascertain that that week was the hottest of the year? Speaking about whose members in Wesley Church I can not say much as I am a member of Saint Mary's Parish Church, of Belize, Anglican. This is what I want to know, what stuff about England and call it religion. This true color of the British policy is now seen much in the West Indies. This policy is poisonously tempered with religion, and some people call it "diplomacy," and to think of British diplomacy, it in highly cultured hypocrisy. Next, time I shall write about this part of it. But what I want is that Negro teachers get interested over the kind of literature that gets into the hands of Negro children, for the benefit of the African race. Thanking you for your space. In your SYSTEM run down, weak, tired? In your BLOOD poke, "polarized," thin, watery? In your BONE-MARROW drying up? Is your body starving, and are you suffering with? Are you testing WEIGHT?

Come out at Time first 'order the about the wives of the Wesleyan ministers; are they door mats, pews, or what? I think Mr. Burchill needs a medical examination as he may be insane. I would lay out my last dollar that there are sons of the soil of British Honduras who can speak an good English as Mr. Burchill; if not, then their fio is the only man on earth who speaks the English language correctly. If we cannot speak grammatically, then the examiners are frauds, and are not doing their duty, in such case they are receiving two salaries; viz: One salary from the government and gratitudes from favorites for their children. For every year there are at least three, to ten pupils passing their Cambridge or other examinations. If, as he said, everybody was glad to see him and his, when they landed, then they should be more glad, seven times seven, to see them leave and to be forgotten. I would. Many different newspapers, too numerous to mention, are being read in Belize, not saying anything about the other parts of British Honduras, weekly and monthly. Mr. Burchell should have made it clear to his friend that he can only afford to get one or two, and that is at long intervals, as he so intent on making his bank account grow rapidly. If the custom officer asked him what he paid he was asked, then that guilty shows that the officer was a good guesser, for he had a mistrustful mind of him. I am only too sorry that it was impossible for him to search Mr. Burchell's heart. Many causes are given by ministers which cause some of the young people to sow their wild oats. One of such cases is known among some of Wesleyan's older members in Belize. Part of Mr. W. H. Harvey's actions, in regard to instilling society's stewardship and sidemen might have been to lesson the work of the ministers, so many are sometimes lazy, as any other professional man might find in his profession, who still receive their big salaries, while some of the supporters of the church might have to starve as to meet their church dues. For if overdue Mr. Minister will get in the pulpit and call to the congregation to pay their dues, the congregation makes sacrifices to make Mr. Minister's bank account grow. The so-called sacrifices to work and sidemen have to be part of Mr. Minister's work and receive no salaries. "Whenever still not received you, when you go out of that," Mr. Shake off the dust from your foot for a testimony against them."—St. Luke, ix. 3. If all the Battles Horderdrums were of my disposition we would not have Mr. Burchell among us. With all the shaking of his feet the dust will not fall, for he is one of them who will be crying, "Lord Lord!" and will not be heard if he does not mend his ways. Mr. Burchill should not talk of good homes as a rare thing in Belize before he goes around and accertains what he wants to write about. There are more drunkard's dens (which are as humes to many) where he came from than there are bad homes in the whole area of British Honduras, not in Belize alone. Whatever bad homes there are in British Honduras were made so by foreigners, especially Europeans. If the girls from 10 to 18 years are drunkards (I know this statement to be false) who are to be blamed for it? Is it not the Europeans who are the guilers of British Honduras? There is an old long-time talk about building an industrial school in British Honduras. Why does not Mr. Burchill and his associates help the government to put it through? Then, and only then, would Mr. Burchill be worth anything to the colony. For then he would be helping the fallen and needy. His work at the high school could be gone through by others, whether they be Methodist or not, as was being done before he landed in Belize. During the great European war a certain Wesleyan minister, instead of being indoors taking a rest, used to be seen many nights leaving a certain private residence, between the hours of 10 P. M. and 13 P. M. He had to pass through the drill hall yard. He was seen so often that he was put in the local papers. War he setting a good example to the fallen? Since we are so much without God and hope, how is it that eight houses of worship (2 Anglicans, 2 Methodists, 1 Roman Catholic, 1 Baptist, 1 Presbyterian and 1 Salvationist) are filled on Sundays, especially in the evening? If we are considered by Mr. Burchell to be damned into the world, rather than being born, then he must have come into the world as "Melchisedec, without father, without mother, without descent." Heb. v. 11. 2. As that is not possible, then I think that the old oak tree, which brought him forth, is still standing where he came from. It is clear to be seen by Mr. Burchell's Be a Winner! CHANGE YOUR LUCK MAGNUS, N. W. Box 88—Station H New York, N. V. statement of us being articulate animals with atrophied brains, that he is only a minister of criticism rather than one of Christianity. Hb needs to be brought into subjection, firstly, to his conscience, and, secondly, to Christ, more than the people of Belize. He, not any other man on earth, does not owe us Christ. Christ is for all of us who will follow Him, and not for any particular nation. Cigliss's birth was such as to be a glory to the Israelites and a light to lighten the Gondelite. Mr. Burghill is a Gentile, as we are. So how could he owe us Christ? If Mr. Burghill was taught that he had Christ, so as to give or sell to anyone, then he can come to me for a free teaching as to the right road to find Christ: "Can two walk together except they he agreed." Mr. Burchill asked his friend to help to show us the better way. How he learned it was yet? If so, why should he stray from it? Is it his salary that is causing him to lose his head? Is he a member of the "Dyneigh Trinity"? Why is he so certain that, even after his first prayed for us (the entire world) to be one, we will never be? Who is Mr. Burchill but itself and bone, born if sin, as myself? For in sin both our mothers conceived us. (kindly read Psalm 51 from start to finish and consider if Mr. Burchill ever saw his pain before). He should ask the good lead to show us the healing, not excluding himself the better way. He speaks of racial antagonism and color prejudice. Where is the starting point of its existence? He is a minister and is trying to keep the black and white apart by keeping school for the black at a certain time and for the white at another time (both teachings are daily). Mr. Burchill, like all others of his type, has no expectation of keeping a colored minister in Belfast. Whenever there are colored ministers around they are sent to come out-district post, Rev. J. N. Angell is the only colored minister in Belfast who has not been sent into an out-district as yet. There is a reason, but who can tell what will happen in the future? Rev. H. McField, another colored minister, was stationed at intervals in Belfast some time ago. Other colored ministers (whether Westean or not) are now roaming in out-districts. Why? If we were not as forliving as we are, make our British West Indian brothers, who stand for nothing, Mr. Burchill would have either caught the boat leaving Belfast, after his exposure, or after a threshing. There might be a reason why Mr. Burchill could not stay in the Island of Kootan, Republic of Honduras. I would like all who are interested in this undertaking to be in the knowledge that I am sending a copy of this publication to Mr. Burchill and one to Mr. Merrick. My grief towards him is great when I think of two poems. One is by one of our local poets, Mr. J. S. Martinez, entitled "British Honduran," and the other by Sir Walter Scott, entitled "Love of Country." In conclusion, I will pray that Mr. Burchill and all like himself may find the same Christ whom they are us. I am. LEIGH THOMAS SEBASTIAN RICHARDSON.

Nerdy is not airborne. He pro- nposes, "borne," for instance, not "borne," but "dawn," as any Bostonian would; he says "that," and "the," not "dat," and "we," and man- ages generally to keep them colloquial, in aphil without finding it necessary to revert to the linguical methods of the end man of a ministral show. There is pathos in his singing, of course, in his voice and his interpretations; but it is the quality of tears that is in any flawless and lovely thing. Its effect may be enhanced by reflections concerning the lonely prophet of art oppressed race, but it does not depend upon them. The people who filled Carnegie Hall to the brim last night, and crowded in packed rows upon the platform itself, were there, for one reason, and one only, because when art leaves the lowlands of mere polished excellence and rises toward the peaks of greatness, it appeals to something universal, something beyond the emotions and far beyond the intellect, something that you may be pleased, to call the soul. And somewhere concealed, oddly enough, nearly everybody has one. It does not matter, particularly, whether Roland Hayes is black or white or green. What does matter is that he is an artist, and a great one. I tried listening to Roland Hayes without watching him last night. There has been so much emphasis laid upon the fact that he is a Negro, and so much rhapsodizing over his singing as expressive of the essential tragedy of the Negro race, that I thought it would be interesting, for once, to concentrate upon the singer and ignore the man. So I sat in Carnegie Hall and watched the audience and listened to Roland Hayes. And having done that) I am convinced that Roland Hayes is an artist primarily, and a Negro incidentally, and that the essentially racial quality of his singing is something that exists chiefly in the imagination of his more romantic hearers. Certainly there is little that one could recall racial in the quality of his voice. To listen, not to look, while he sang his first three groups last night was to hear a beautiful tenor voice, silken smooth in mezzo force, ringingly vibrant in the forties, and trained to a perfect evenness of production in all its registers. If the voice could be tagged with any specific racial label, one might call it Irish. Compete for Big Prize LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 4—(Pacific Coast News, Harcourt.)—Over a quarter of a million dollars is the price to be paid the successful architect who is awarded the contract for drawing up the plans for the news $5,000,000 city hall. Once, or twice, in negotiating an awkward group of syllables in a difficult sentence, his tones did take on the "white" swelling quality that we associate with colored syllables. But even that is a quality that is found in many Russian voices as well. With the assistance of an advising architect, not relying on the state and whose salary will be $5,000 plus expenses, the city will select four architects, not connected with the contest, as jurors. They will each receive a top of $1,000 plus expenses. All the architects of the state will be invited to compete and the winning architect will receive a contract on a percentage basis, estimated to be worth $300,000. His dictation is flawless. It is merely good English, good Italian or good German, as the case may be; and his style changes with the character of the song he sings, "Care Selve," as he sang it last night, was Haendel. As Haendel should be sung, and his interpretation of Wolf's "Auch Kleine Dinge" was one of the most exquisite examples of pure lieder style that I have ever been privileged to hear. "Only Negro Member Paul R. Williams, winner of the Braun-Artie Institute of Design medal for 1912, and the only Negro member of the American Institute of Architecture, is one of the contestants. William's entry into the contest has created great concern among his many white competitors, due to the fact that he has a reputation of winning all competitions in which he enters. He has won three national and four western architectural competitions, and recently his design for a civic center was accepted by a western city of 30,000 inhabitants. His singing of Negro spirituals about which so much ink has been spilled, is thrilling for the very reason that he does not mar their beauty and deep feeling by adopting any fake "Negro" style of rendition. His tones, when he sings them, are just as beautifully "covered" as when he sings Bahamus; and his method of interpretation is "merely to sing" them—like any other good songs—as sincerely and simply and beautifully as he can. His Negro dialect, in the spirituals, would be scorned by the average $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower Is a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and Aino Oil, together with several other positive herbs, therefore making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually forcing hair to grow in most obliterate cases.

When this is done you will success in the New Year. BE YOU DOING WITH YOUR Money? Are you doing with your money? Ask yourself this question. Then get a picture of the amount of your weekly salary on one side of the paper. Next, prepare the two totals and see if you can save your income. If so, what is left? Is your surplus money? Are you invading work for you while you are workable to work? Be fair with yourself if you are a bit surprised at your detriment many trivial things you could have done the dollars you would have saved or invested,asted energy, expended in the earnings facted from a life of usefulness. Isows how difficult it is for members of the employers see that their own people enjoying others. Hence it amounts to coy individuals to spend money foolishly. Hurts us personally, but hurts the job to be invested in business, which would the investore, but give employment to serving a two-fold purpose. Have built up a financial and industrial will take us years to equal. Knowing that a few spendthrifts of the other race, it materially affect their race, while one reached the goal of their ambition and men and women, married and single, shift to their race to be worth something in this truth, "If money go before, all THE year 1925 has daunted upon this unsettled, sinful world, and men and women, rich and poor, are making resolutions and plans for their guidance during the next eleven months of the year. Men's destiny rests in his own hands. We can either make or mar his life. Few people believe this and when, through lack of courage and will-power, they fall in their parents' eyes blame fate and attribute it to "bad luck." Making good resolutions for the New Year is an excellent idea. It shows a disposition to be good and to do good, but such resolutions must be backed up with the determination and force of will to carry them out, or failure will overtake our resolutions. At the closing of the year 1924, if we look back at the events which occurred during the twelve preceding months, we will be surprised to find how many opportunities we missed, how many good resolutions we have broken and how many of our plans have failed. Pause for a few moments, weigh well the year's misfortunes and find out the reason for your failures, then resolve in your minds to conquer the causes of your failures. When this is done you will be well on the way to success in the New Year. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR MONEY? WHAT are you doing with your money? As an individual ask yourself this question. Then get a piece of paper, set down the amount of your weekly salary and other sources of income on one side of the paper. Next, tabulate your expenses. Compare the two totals and see if you can subtract your expenses from your income. If so, what is left? Are you saving your surplus money? Are you investing a part of it, so that it can work for you while you are working, and even when you are unable to work? Be fair with yourself, dear reader, and admit that you are a bit surprised at your detailed expense column. How many trivial things you could have done without. How many more dollars you would have saved or invested. Wasted money means wasted energy, expended in the earning of it, and so much time subtracted from a life of usefulness. Every Negro knows how difficult it is for members of the race to get work, as white employers see that their own people are employed first before employing others. Hence it amounts to criminal negligence for us as individuals to spend money foolishly. Such squandering not only hurts us personally, but hurts the race. Money accumulated can be invested in business, which would not only bring profit to the investore, but give employment to members of the race, thereby serving a two-fold purpose. White people have built up a financial and industrial prestige for their race, that will take us years to equal. Knowing this we cannot afford to imitate a few spandthrifts of the other race. Their recklessness does not materially affect their race, while ours will, because they have reached the goal of their ambition and we are just starting out. Men and women, married and single, should all feel that they owe it to their race to be worth something financially, hearing in mind this truth, "If money go before, all ways do lie I believe that our laws should be more liberal, in regard to divorce. There is, much, prime, committed in New York State in connection with the obtaining of divorce. You cannot make two people who are incompatible like together. It is not my business to find causes for which to grant divorces. What I do in find causes why people should be kept together. There are times, however, when it is far better that persons should separate. The real way to reduce divorce is by the education of children to an understanding of marriage and what it means. A dentist, a builder, a lawyer, must all have their licenses before they can do their work. People Buy This this PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRU Day This 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, histrone hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to save them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalp and hair. It has been proven that MADAM G. J.

Pursue the year's misfortunes and find out to resolve in your minds to conquer them this is done you will be well on your way. G WITH YOUR MONEY? With your money? As an individual institution. Then get a piece of paper of your weekly salary and other of the paper. Next, tabulate your bills and see if you can subtract your what is left? money? Are you investing a part while you are working, and even be fair with yourself, dear reader, surprised at your detailed expense tags you could have done without would have saved or invested. Wasted depended in the earning of it, and so of usefulness. It it is for members of the race for what their own people are employed since it amounts to criminal negligence and money foolishly. Such squan-ally, but hurts the race. Money business, which would not only give employment to members of old purpose, financial and industrial prestige for to equal. Knowing this we cannot bits of the other race. Their reckless their race, while ours will, be of their ambition and we are just married and single, should all feel to be worth something financially, money go before, all ways do lie. should know the responsibilities of marriage also before they enter into matrimony. There are too many persons in this work who meet at a dance and then get married the next day. Every state should have uniform marriage and divorce laws.

OVEN WAY TOP FALLING and DANDRUFF THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1982 FAMOUS JURIST ADVISES EARLY MARRIAGES BEST Complete Sympathy and Confidence the Key to Happiness of Husband and Wife—Marriage and Divorce Life is just one ring after another in these days of many marriages. There are solitaries and solitaries. Some are all right, and some are all wrong. The solitaire engagement ring is in the former class. The game of life played solitaire is in the latter. At least so says Judge Joseph Sabath, who believes that every man and woman should marry, and prefer- ably young. We have all heard about the Little gray home in the West. Judge Sabath, who is known as "Chicago's Divorce Judge," knows how gray many of those homes really are. He has every reason to, for in the last four years he has had 12,000 divorce cases come up before him. In spite of the many matrimonial misfortunes which have been brought into his court, Judge Sabath is a stammer supporter of matrimony. At the Hotel Astor, where he is stopping while in New York, he told us why he is. Man and woman may find it good to live alone in life's younger years, says Judge Sabath. In the after years it is different. Time always forecloses the mortgage. That is what the single man or woman learns when it is too late. Every joy has turned jejunc. Gangrene of the soul sets in. And the unmarried must face the days alone. All of which above may be a mixing of metaphors, but is none the less so, according to Judge Sabath's beliefs. Marriage, to introduce still another figure of speech, is, on the contrary, a sort of insurance against loneliness in old age, against staleness in enjoyment of life's good things. "Marriage means' happiness, everything." Judge Sabath told us, "I blame every man and woman who is not married. It is the solem duty of every person to marry. It is not only their duty to society but to themselves. The man or woman who does not marry is selfish and pays for it in the end. They live to see what a grave mistake they have made. Regret comes to them when it is too late. The man who delays marriage because of lack of money is one for whom I have no sympathy. Of course, he may marry later a young girl or, perhaps, some woman who has been married before, but he misses what he should rightfully enjoy. "Marriage and divorce are both entered into too lightly in these days. We are beginning to think of ways to improve marriage, and it is high time that we did. Marriage is a problem that each must work out. There are certain rules, however, which I have thought out and which I believe may be helpful toward making marriage a success." TO THE HUSBAND I would say: Make of your wife a real person. Discuss your business problems with her. Take her into your confidence: Avoid too intimate relations with your in-laws. Have children or adopt some. Supply your wife with sufficient funds with which to run the home adequately. Work together, play together, grow up together. Don't tease your husband by flirting or try to make him jealous. You may be starting a dangerous fire. Let him know that he means more than anything else in life-to you. Let him know he is the one man in your life. Settle your differences every day before night. Demetre Vaka, author of several books on Turkey and who has studied conditions in the Ottoman empire, declared yesterday, in a lecture on "The Unwielded Ladies of Shamhour": at the Town Hall, that the women of Turkey, since they have survived and taken on European culture, have deteriorated. "The reason for their deterioration is that they have had no background for their new education," she said; "there is one thing they do not know yet, and that is how to work. Another challenge is their heart of the race. Turkey has categorized." By MENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS When the scroll of fame shall be unfolded and the roll of honor called of the great and good women who have sacrificed, spiritualized and consecrated their lives to a great cause, high up among the names of Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale and Grace Darling, will be found the name of Harriet Tubman. Not many of the present generation know anything of the life and work of this noble woman of our race, through whose strategy and good generalship hundreds of Negro slaves were guided to freedom and happiness. Harriet Tubman was born a slave about the year 1820, on the "Eastern Shore" of Maryland, where her contemporary and co-worker in the anti-slavery cause, Frederick Douglass, the matchless orator and great statesman, was also born a slave. The first 25 years of her life were passed in slavery, and through these years she was planning how she would run away, taking the North Star for her guide, crossing the line of demarcation between the North and the South, the free and the slave States, that boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania, known as the "Mason and Dixon Line." Associated with Abolitionists She reached Philadelphia, where she obtained employment, saving all her wages for the sole purpose of helping other slaves to escape from their cruel masters. She allied herself with the underground railroad, that played such an important part in the work of helping the runaway slaves to freedom and to places of safety in the northern states and Canada. Harriet Tubman was one of the most famous of the underground railroad operators, being constantly associated with Robert Purvis, chairman, and William Stell, secretary, in their great work for the abolition of slavery in the United States. Led Slave Out of Bondage She made stealthy visits to her old home from Philadelphia, suffering many hardships and taking great risks, but her life as a slave and inured her to great physical endurance, having been forced to work as a field hand, wood-chopper and a trapper of wild animals. And, in addition to this, she was compelled to work at the more womanly tasks of housework and nursing. She never regretted having learned all these things, but valued them as a great preparation for her life's work of freeing others of her people from the cruel bondage of slavery. Harriet Tubman was the direct instrument of bringing over four hundred slaves from the southland; and was called "The Moses of Her People." She earned this name by the qualities of her leadership displayed in conducting bands of slaves through devious ways and manifold perils, out of their "land of Egypt." Sagacity was one of her most marked traits. It was displayed constantly in her management of her little caravans. She would start with her pilgrims on Saturday night, knowing their loss could not be advertised until Monday, thus gaining a day ahead. She could not read, but she hired a Negro to follow the man who posted cards, giving descriptions and offering rewards for runaway slaves, to tear down and destroy these posters. She thus had a poster destroyed, giving a description of herself and offering a reward of $12,000 for her capture that was hanging over her head in a car. Dear Negress, tell no tales. John Brown, the immortal hero of Harper's Ferry, who knew Harriet well, always spoke of her as "General Tubman." She knew the need of discipline in affecting her rough overland marches and she therefore required strict obedience of her followers. The discouragement of one could not be permitted to endanger the liberty and safety of the whole party; accordingly, she sometimes strengthened, the falting heart by threatening the use of her revolver, and declaring, "Dead Negress tell no tales, you go on or die." She was no less lenient with herself. " Harriet Tabman Was a thorough-getting mystic. The Quaker, Thomas Garrett, said of her: " I never knew anyone of any color who had more confidence in the voice of God as spoken to her soul. She frequently told me she talked with God and he talked with her every day, and she declared that she felt no more Year of being arrested by her former months, or any other person, when in his life since the Nightfield, then she did be the state of New York of Canada, for she said she never vouchers only when God sent her. She said in the Supreme Court apply the great " This faith and faithless she is her times of birth. She may disillusiones of herself. Sheer Sheer's ineffectuality by the pre-marble power and effect of God. There's Orbin, " she said. It was all of the way doing. " Yes on the day she did not see me and was very good to me, and she was very good to me, and she was very good to me, and she was very good to me.

A Harriet and her family did not long remain in Canada; Auburn, N. Y., was deemed a preferable place, and here a small property was bought on easy terms to buy a home for the enfranchised mother and father. Before Harriet had finished paying for her bit of real estate, the Civil War broke out. Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, appreciating the sagacity, bravery and kindness of Harriet, soon summoned, her to go into the South to serve as a scout, and when necessary as a hospital nurse. That her services were highly valued was the voluntary testimony of all the officers under whom she served. Gen. Turus Scott wrote in March, 1868, "I can bear witness to her valuable services in South Carolina and Florida. She was employed in the hospitals and as a spy. She made many raids inside the enemies lines, displaying remarkable courage, zeal and integrity." Founded Home for Aged At the conclusion of the Civil War Harriet returned to Auburn, N. T., where she founded a home for aged colored persons. Her devotion to her people never ceased, although she was poor and subject to the infirmities of old age. Infirmities increased by the effect of ill treatment when a slave. She managed to transform her house into a hospital, where she provided and cared for some of the helpless and deserving of her race. She was always the friend of the downtrodden. Her house was always full of dependents, who were supported wholly by Harriet's faith. Like many of our race, Harriet Tubman had the gift of song. Many of her messages were delivered to the slaves she was seeking to rescue by her singing in the forests contiguous to the slave quarters. A favorite hymn was: "Dark and thorny is the pathway Where do pilgrim makes his ways; But beyond dale of sorrow In da folds of saints days." On hearing this hymn and recognizing her voice, under the shadow of darkness, they would steal away and join Harriet. Imbued with the spirit of courage and bravery of this strong woman, they would dare all and venture for freedom. Harriet Tubman died March 10, 1913. In her ninety-third year, leaving to posterity the example of brave womanhood and an abiding faith in God and the practical evidence of true Christianity: "For inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, my little ones, you have done it unto Me." BLACK CROSS NURSES OF NEW YORK LOCAL They Brought Much Christmas Cheer to the Poor Baskets of Things Freely Distributed to Members and Others Many homes of the needy were made happy on Christmas Day by the Black Cross Nurses of the New York Division. These needy families were provided with Christmas baskets, which contained chicken, vegetables, fruit and sweets. Among those who received the baskets was an old lady who is 100 years old. On receiving her basket she offered a prayer for the Mon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The majority of these are not members of the organisation, but a staff of nurses visited the Harlem district, found those in need and helped them.

GOOD NUTRIMENT FOUND IN NUTS Although in many countries some varieties of nuts have been used as food for a long period in the United States, until comparatively recent years, the tendency has been to regard them as a luxury or a confection rather than as a food. Many of the nuts in common use. If compared in price with other foods, are not an expensive article of diet. In the composition of nuts the most abundant constituents are fat and protein, although in some there is an abundance of starch. As nuts usually contain but little water, they afford a very concentrated form of nutriciment. Those having a high fat content, upward of 60 per cent, are the pecan, Brazil nut, butternut, fiber, candle nut, hickory nut, juno nut and walnut. Those especially rich in protein, over 30 per cent, are the pignolia, peanut, butternut, almond, beechnut, candle nut, paradise nut and pistachio. Those which are prized for their starch content, over 40 per cent, are the acorn, chestnut, water chestnut and some unusual nuts in this market, the chutra and the sinkgo nut. If the true composition of nuts was better known, and they were used understandably, they would not have the reputation for indigestibility that they have obtained. They usually are added to an already large meal and they are a concentrated form of nourishment, so when the tummy rebels at taking care of so much excess the nut is blamed. We should look upon nuts as food, just as we are beginning to regard sugar as food, and use them as such in proper quantities, and at the right time, and they will prove an extremely valuable addition to the menu. N. Y. American. Parson Scores Brides Painted for Ceremony KINGSTON, England, Jan. 2.--The Rev. A. Wellesley Orr, vicar of St Paul's Church, Kingston Hill, has come out against the use of paint and powder by women. Writing to his parishioners, the vicar says: "Even white we are signing the marriage registers in the church ventry the bride may get in a few moments' work before the mirror with a powder puff, scissors and a bottle. The man who came into church in love with a blushing blonde takes out on his arm a blooming bobbed brunette. "Some wives are so constantly changing their appearance that their husbands' live in perpetual dread of being arrested for bigamy." Married People Grow Alike LONDON, Jan. 2.—Married people grow to look alike because years of association make for similarity in types of expressions and habits of mind, according to Dame Helen Gwynne Faughan, lecturing on the mechanics of inheritance. It was astonishing to notice, she said, how much a man and a woman with marked physiognomical differences came to resemble one another after years of married life.

Addison GRACE GRAY DE LONG Miami, Florida THE PEOPLE'S FORUM THE RACE MUST GET RIGHT WITH HERSELF AS A STARTER It Must Have Its Culture and Religious Ideals as Others Have Theirs, Otherwise It Will Always Remain To the Editor of The Negro World: Permit me space in your great newspaper to give an expression to the following: "And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; (Gen. 1: 26, 21). This does not need much interpretation. It is clear and very significant. Man, I believe, is divided into three separate and distinct racial groups, namely, the Mongolian, Caucasian and the Ethiopian. The separation and distinction, however, does not in any way interfere with their status as man, so that in worshiping a god in the imaginary combination of a Mongolian, the Mongolian is not qypl doing what is right, but exactly what God expects him to do. The same is true for the Caucasian. He, like the Mongolian, is a man created by God, in the image of God, and if he must worship a god, it is no more than right for him to worship his god in the imaginary semblance of a Caucasian gentleman. Now, is the Ethiopian a man created by God—in the image of God? Yes! like the Caucasian and Mongolian is a man created by God, in the image of God. There is something the matter with him; something that compels him to see and to worship his God in the imaginary semblance of a Caucasian gentleman, never as an Ethiopian. This is sad but true, and I believe it is the major cause of our race being in the sad condition we find ourselves today. An Ethiopian praying to a Caucasian or Mongolian God for the things he needs is like yelling into an empty tank with a cutout in it. If the Ethiopian race is to be saved from threatened destruction, if we as a race are to see salvation, we must see salvation only through oursels, and if we cannot see God it would be impossible for us to see salvation, and to see God we must see Him through oursels. The Ethiopian must cease worshiping strange gods and worship his own god in his own image, for it is written, "And God made man in His own image," so that the god of the Ethiopian cannot possibly appear in the image orsemblance of a Caucasian op Mongolian. When we, like the Mongolian and Caucasian shall have seen God, through ourselves, then this race of ours will be liten out of the mire of degratification, serifdom, peonage and slavery to the heights of manhood attained by the Caucasian and the Mongolian. Let us find the truth and the truth shall set us free. J. MILTON DATSON. 141 West 129th Street, New York City. Astrologer Stark Extols The Garvey Movement To the Editor of The Negro World: You may have testimonials from mass-eyes, from those who are able to express themselves in words more thrilling than I can express, in behalf of the great "Garvey movement." But it is for me to state in my simple way that no mind is so powerful, no intellect so learned, no pen so gifted and fine, could write, in letters of living fire on tablets of gold, a truer expression of gratitude for the incomparable work which you are doing for the betterment of the Negro race at large. It is of inestimable value to the world, because it goes a long way toward allowing that class of people who believe within their souls that God is A Baby in Your Home There are millions of human beings on the earth, who do not know that the universe is governed by law; that misleads never happen; that every great movement is merely the outworking of a supreme law by which God controls everything in the universe. Your marvelous work shows intelligence of the highest type and plays a strong part in the destruction of the ill-formed and ill-smelling brood hatched from the egg of ignorance. Your weekly articles are slanderid and should be read by all who have eyes to see the handwriting on the wall, for I see in them the fulfillment of that ancient prophecy: "The day is come when iniquity shall have an end. Remove, ill diadem, and take off the crown; this shall not be the same. Exalt him that is low, and abuse him that is high. I shall overturn, overturn it; and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I shall give it him." Ezek. xx., 28-27. To one acquainted with the laws of astrology and astronomy, your articles bring much for reflection, inspiration, guidance and comfort, that all may not understand, but I send this message to all thinking people: "Support the great Garvey movement," and remain calm and contented in these days of storm and stress when old conditions are passing away forever. For they must pass away, as the great wheel of cosmic evolution turns to give man a new vision, a new hope, a new understanding of God's great plan. With many best wishes for your success. You're sincerely, 4158 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Ill. FRED D. STARK. A Trinidadian Who Has Faith in Marcus Garvey To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to express my opion as a member of the Universal Negro improvement Association and reader of The Negro World. I am writing, not to teach but to counsel with you so that we may do the right thing by our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and to the people the world over. We must believe in our leader, because he teaches universal love, which is the doctrine of the Good Book from its origin. He is telling us to fight for the race with all our might and redeem Africa for the Africans. If we follow the ideals of the association we shall see the Red, Black and Green flag-dying on the hill tops of Africa. I have the honor to be a member of the Universe. Negro Improvement Association and a holder of a loan of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and at present am a member of the Bermuda division, Trinidad, Belmont, B. W. I. He Has Caught the Spirit Of the Garvey Movement # fro the Editor of The Negro World: We in this part of the globe who have been caught by the spirit of garvoyism are endowing to raise a U. N. I. A. branch here, therefore we deem it right that we should honor the members of the "parent body" of New York City; in that they are the first to accept and appreciate the call of our leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey. We send you greetings for your loyalty and devotion to the cause of Africa, you being the first to blaze the way through the jungles, making it somewhat easy for us to follow, and now, we say to you, press on, go forward, for we are coming. Why should you treat the jungles alone and we, the others, go free? We say you shall not bear the burden alone. We shall fall in line and work shoulder to shoulder with you, and as we are Bishop I.

"Oh!" comrades, and friends, I was hats and flags beckoning from the mountain side to us. A strong, loud voice says: "One more step and we shall be over." "As such is the case, let us stand by our leader more than ever the coming year, 1925, and put this program over. To you, our most noble leader, Hon. Marus Garvoy, we say, fear not, neither be discouraged, for we are with you, come what may, and 1925 shall tell the tale. Our niches—and dimes shall be at your disposal." SHIPS THAT CARRY THE COMMERCE OF THE WORLD The Growth of Shipping and Commerce Is Coincidental and the Nation with the Most Ships Controls Commerce—Some Ill- President-General Garvey Appreciated in Pittsburgh To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow me just a little space in your valuable columns to, express my appreciation. We appreciated so much to have with us on the 10th, 11th and 12th of this month our President-General, Marcus Garvey. Our attendance, was not just what we desired it to be, but those present thought it a real treat. We felt as if we got our gifts before the holidays came. As he says, the program of the U. N. I. A. for the year, 1925 would be altogether different from the past years, we feel it a rare treat to have ours in advance. 'On the last night of the presence of our President-General, we did so much enjoy the explanation of the alms and objects of the U. N. I. A. No sane person hearing the talk that he gave could not help being touched seriously. Last but not least I wish to compliment His Excellency on his diplomatic way of doing things. Knowing the needs of Division No. 61, he brought along with him some of his best material. Just gave it to us anyhow. I think I am voicing the sentiment of Local No. 61 by saying that we are going to do our bit through the administration of Mr. Hanes, our president. Thanks for this gift.' Our very first meeting was a success over previous meetings. I want to say here, let everybody get the first edition of the "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey." It's wonderful. Fighting the Good Fight For the Association in Cuba Central/ Vertientes Division No. 782 Dec. 12, 1924. To the Editor of The Negro World: Please permit me space in your paper to make kubn to the members, and especially those in the vicinity of Vertientes, that Division No. 782 is yet alive, although laboring under adverse conditions, owing to falling membership, which sooner, or later occurs to most divisions, and the sudden changes which now prevail almost throughout Cuba. But we, the officers, are determined to keep the name of the organization and its good work affloat, for we, like others, have seen the vision and realize according to Holy Writ that the time has come for Ethiopia to stretch forth her hands unto God, the very God who is able to do for us abundantly more than we could ever think or ask him. I have often thought I heard Him saying: "Come, be your native land. Behold, she lifts her backoning hands, saying, sons of freedom, come, draw night," I am saying that it is time for men and women to awaken from their sleep; awake and rally co-operatively to this cause, which embraces the future destiny of 400,000,000 souls. JOSEPH N. HICKS, President. Information, Central Vertebrates, Cuba. Sees Only Mr. Garvey and The Association's Program To the Editor of The Negro World: I can only see one man before me night and day and that man is the Hon. Marcus Garvey. I have seen one program, and that is the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All we have got to do is to build our character and ambition, prestige and integrity on truth, honesty, justice and -fairplay; and support the movement wholeheartedly, morally and financially, and all will be well with our souls. We will be materially and spiritually made happy and prosperous. Dear Mr. Garvey, I thank you from the depth of my heart for the good you have done for us all as Negroes. You have done much for me and I have every reason to thank you. With silent penetration and sound thinking every Negro will be happy. May God bless the day you were born, and may His every bless- ings be bestowed on you. May the Lord, help you to continue the good work until Africa is redeemed and the 400 million Negroes be emancipated. May God bless you and your dear wife. I have very great pleasure to wish you and wife a Merry Christmas and a Bright and Prosperous New Year. WILBERT E. BARNES Havana, Cuba. Buying of Ships and Building Race Business To the Editor of The Negro World: "We all must acknowledge how splendidly the Negroes of America and otherwise rallied to your call. 'Let's put it over.' and that now the S. S. Booker T. Washington is assured. We would like to picture you building a foundation in this country for a greater service abroad. You would then have the surprise of your life to see how the U. N. L. A. would be recruited. Nurse with big hearts desires to do big things. Our African redemption, where we are not that their neighborhood would be in jeopardy to the extent of letting others for a chance to make good themselves, would they might make for African's cause. Let us picture along with your own SHIPS THAT CARRY THE COMMERCE OF THE WORLD To the Editor of the Negro World: Ships, Their Use and Utility Now that Negroes are beginning to own a Mercantile Marine of their own it would be wise for us to know all we can of their possession. So as not to be held in light esteem, or in the more point of numbers; as representing so much wealth. Sea power has always influenced history, in the incomparable greatness of ships, whether one class or another, has made a distinctive and picturesque, not to say romantic, position in the history of nations. The maritime rivalry of nations has been fostered, by the energy of the one-to-build faster, equip better, and keep their ships better manned; backed by competent and masterful navigation. Ships have brought glory to every nation in their respective time. The Portuguese have proved themselves, as intrepid explorers and navigators as any race. In modern times Spain has proved no less in her maritime glory, having reached her climax, by the invasion of England in 1583; her skips of that date were found in all waters; her gallons challenged the rising setting sun. Her ships planted her colonies, and naturally reaped the harvest. They were always carrying treasures to Spain. Mexico, Peru, Chile, every country in South America contributed to the wealth of the Dona. This needs must be when the Pope had given half of the planet into Spain's keeping. By the treaty of Aslanta, only one English ship was allowed on the Spanish main, not exceeding 600 tons. This will give some idea of the maritime power of Spain at that date. Here it was the ships, and only the ships that were making history. The Dutch, no less gallant on Neptune's domain, have also figured largely, inasmuch that De Ruyter, and Van Tromp have left their names on the scroll of fame. It was the last named admiral who gave rise to the whip, now fown by all ships. In the constant encounters between the English and Dutch, Van Tromp placed a broom at his masthead, as a sign of sweeping the English from the seas. The English replied with a whip which has come down to us with the tradition and used in the transportation of the armies required in the various fields of operations. Here ships and only ships had away in the transportation of the American army, so they solved the problem of the war and it was done simply because Britain had the number of ships required for all purposes. The grand utilization of the mercantile marine was beyond doubt the most splendid thing in our time to witness. In the blockading of ports one again aces the unmistakable use of the ship. Until some other invention revolutionizes the ships, it stands supreme for its stupendous use and utility. Germany might have won, but the strangle-hold of the British ships was too tenacious. Our people, therefore, would be wise in their generation to build or buy ships, all kinds of modern craft, and moreover, build our mercantile marine on undisputable lines with the numerous lessons to draw inspiration from. Nothing should be ours but success. We have seamen, who have served under every flag, these should be recruited for service with the Black Cross Line, and promotion given in accordance, with capability. It will also be necessary to establish practical lions of acres of land right here. In America, with mills, factories, vineyards, stockyards, farms, etc., then the needed exchange of commodities with various countries will be done in a large measure by ours' us. You could then better appreciate what percentage America is for Africa's redemption. To build up Africa we must build up where we are; then how easy it will be to convince the most skeptical that it masses have the ability to do and will do. S. M. McPHERSON. St. Louis, Mo. ST.

Ships will spell greater success to the Nagea cause than most anything else possible, because it will be the medium of removing boundaries that at present exist; and it will bring Nageas closer together, in thought and action. When the Black, the Red and Green flag is seen on the Seven Seas our problem will have been solved, our Nationality will be realized; our race's uplift will be a standing fact to be reckoned with. Ships, ships, more ships, should then be our slogan forever. When we build ships we are building our Empire. Ships are the making of Empires. The tonnage of mercantile marine owned by Great Britain before the war was 18,089,037 gross tons or 9,837 steamships, 1,668 sailing ships representing a tonnage of 953,257. It should be borne in mind that no one owns the sea. It is a comforting thought that who can and will master this element it is theira for the keeping. Forte Velho, Rio Madesira, Amazonas, N. B. GREAT BRITAIN'S IRON HAND IN EGYPT AND SUDAN GREAT BRITAIN'S IRON HAND IN EGYPT AND SUDAN The Tory Spirit of Ruling Weaker Peoples Challenges Africans and Asiatics to Get Together and Fight for Each Other To the Editor of The Negro World: As a student of politics, and one who is studying the "world's unrest and affairs," especially where the Negroes are concerned, I forward you newspaper clippings taken from the Havana Post and will say a few words on the matter, trusting you will favor me with its publication in the columns of The Negro World. Major General Sir Lee Stack, the Sirdar of Egypt, has been killed, as alleged, by the Egyptians. Stack is an Englishman and England says "The Egyptian Government must pay $250,000 for killing one of their white gods (Mr. Stack) and get out of the Sudan." Egypt, though independent, has not got a representative in the League of Nations, and even if she had, from the facts, before our eyes, she would be refused, a hearing on the grounds that she is small and weak and England bosses the League of Nations. The iron hand rule and injustice can now be seen by all; and I am afraid that the next card she draws GREETINGS The Advertising Dept.

Now that the situation is happening of grave and serious consideration, what will the Negroes do? Can the Negroes live in "spoof"? Where will we find ourselves, and what course are we going to take? . Must we forever sleep the sleep of death? - Negroes, see for yourselves, and keep your eyes open, and play your part or die. - Liberty, or death. - The League of Nations is not going to do anything for us, because we have no - African Government. There's but one course for us, and that is to follow our great leader, the Men. Marquis Garvey, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and stand by him irrespective of what may come about, and build a great Government, a Nation 'in Africa, for the Negro peoples of the world. England with her great army and navy and grand air fleet belauses she is a power, today and can defy any nation or power to attack her. She will continue to administer iron hand rule and injustice to all the weaker peoples of the world. But how long, how long? Negroes, let us build up for ourselves a great African Government in Africa, with the greatest army, an Invincible navy, and the most up to date and best equipped air fleet, and at that time, we will demand a hearing in my "League of Nations." Let us build a government on the true principles of Truth, Religion and Justice. Every moment of the day we hear the cry for "peace." Can the League of Nations give us peace? I don't see how. Can we have peace when the strong is oppressing the weak? Impossible. Let us keep our eyes open and see what the League of Nations will do for the poor Egyptians, who must pay £800,000 for the killing of Stach, and at the same time quit the Sudan, their native land. Negroes, keep your eyes open and see the great League of Nations acting as Arbitrators for the Egyptians and the weaker peoples of the world. There was once a powerful Rome, a powerful Greece, a proud Babylon, and a seemingly invincible Germany. Where are they today? They have risen to dazzling heights of glory and splendor, and then suddenly and mysteriously sunk into oblivion. These mighty empires have risen almost overnight to spread their domination over the civilized world and then at the very zenith of their power and grandeur suddenly, mysteriously, dissolved into ruins and shadows. The hidden forces that directed these all once glorious and transic carers as an Alexander, Cresar, Napoleon and the Kaiser have fallen to duet; and so, my dear brothers and sisters, I think I see some of the present great powers of iron hand, rule, and injustice and their mighty rulers crumpling underneath an Invisible Power.

ABOUT BOUTS It is beyond question, that mixed bouts are not well accepted in New York. Anyone who doubts this may journey to any of the local clubs when ever such a bout is staged and they will agree with me. Madison Square Garden was crowded last Friday night not a seat vacant. The occasion was one that warranted it, for Larry Ettinger was to meet Paul Berlenbach in the main event. A good deal of publicity was given this bout, because Larry was the colored middlowweight champion and Paul was noted for his string of knockout. Both received the gladiates of the crowd when they entered the ring. The bout did not met very long, for in the second round Larry was blasting the canvas. Larry appeared scared from the start, for the most he did was to run. Everyone hailed the winner. Ted Moose and Allentown Joe Gans fought a draw at the Commonwealth Club last Saturday night, although most of the crowd thought that Allentown should have gotten the decision. Tiger Flowers, the colored scraper from the Southland, meets Joe Lohman in the main event at the Rink Club, Brooklyn. Thursday afternoon of this week. Al Brown meets Jimmy Russo in their return bout Saturday night at the Commonwealth Club. This affair ought to be very interesting, as it was a surprise to the fans when Russo outpointed Brown in their first encounter. THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS The Cincinnati Division No. 146 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been hit hard during the last four months, for we have had numerous deaths in the division. Three very sad deaths occurred a few weeks ago. On Thursday, December 4, Mrs. Lula, Whitlow, captain of the motor corps, was taken to the general hospital at 3.00 a.m. at 12.05 p.m. m. the same day, she was a corpse. On Saturday, December 6, Mr. Harry Dickson and Mrs. Eunice Dickson, his wife, were burned to death and their dwelling house destroyed by fire. On Monday, December 8, the funeral service of Mrs. Whitlow was conducted at Liberty Hall at 12.05 p.m. and on Wednesday at 1.00 p.m. a double funeral ceremony was conducted for Mr. Dickson and his wife. It was one of the most pathetic incidents that had ever occurred in the history of Cincinnati in years. Mr. Dickson and his wife were well thought of by some of the wealthiest white people in Cincinnati. He had worked as butter among these families for years and was well known for his capability and sincere service. Many of them attended the services and took the death of these two members as much to heart as those of the race. Numbers of beautiful floral pieces came from all parts of Cincinnati, showing the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Dickson had been held by both white and black, high and low. The saddest part about the whole thing was the fact that the bodies being so badly burned, the casket could not be opened for the members and friends to take a last view of the remains. Mr. Dickson was a native of the southland, coming from there some ten or twelve years ago. The bodies being in such a condition as they were, it was impossible to hold them over until the children could get here. During the past four months, the Cincinnati division has lost eleven members, all of them financial. We have been able to pay every death claim to date, the amount for each death being $75. I can say that the Cincinnati division is one of the most loyal divisions in the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world. The members of the Cincinnati division have been loyal and staunch supporters in the purchasing of the S. S. Bogker T. Washington, the first ship owned and controlled by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, which will sell from New York at 135th street pler, January 11, 1825, for the West Indies, Haiti, South and Central America. The members of the Cincinnati division are contemplating sending their president, Sir William Ware, to board this ship which sells on the above mentioned date. With all the propaganda against us; with enemies in the organization and out of it too, the members of the Cincinnati division are steadfastly and loyally holding up the principles of the organization; they have taken on fresh courage and expect to continue to the end. MRS. ELLENETTE HAMILTON. General Secretary The Antilla Division of the U. N. I. A. held a grand picnic on the 10th of October which was well attended and a great success in spite of the inclement weather. The members and friends of the Antilla division extend thanks to all who attended and helped to make this affair a success. On the 19th of October this division had as a visitor the Hon. R. H. Bachelor, organizer of the. Cuban division and Brigadier-General of the Legions. The meeting was called to order in Liberty Hall at 8:15 p. m. Mr. W. H. Mill, president, in the chair. The opening ode, "From Greenland's, Icy Mountains," was sung, followed by the reading of the preamble and the singing of the Ethiopian National Athem. The following program was rendered: Address by Mr. W. H. Milla, president, who explained the aims, and objects of the U. N. J. A. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. R. H. Bachelor, who was introduced to the audience by the president. He chose as the subject of his address "Loyalty." In his discourse he said Negroog had been greatly handicapped because of disorganization. He urged all members and friends to stick to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Bachelor promised to return to this division at some other time. The meeting was brought to a close in the usual manner. On Sunday evening December 7, 1924, we had a visitor in our midst in the person of Prof. A. A. Bolten, a member of the Guantanamo Division No. 164. Prof. Bolten is reputed to be a physician. We are proud to have him in our midst, not only on account of his professional but also for his oratorical ability. He is a speaker who can always arouse enthusiasm among the members and friends visiting our Liberty Hall. His address for the evening was delivered partly in Spanish and partly in English. He was asked by the members and friends to deliver another address on the following Monday evening, to which he consented. The meeting was opened with the singing of the ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer Hymn No. 149 from the ritual was sung followed by an introductory address by one of the members, Prof. Bolten was next presented. The subject of his address was "Perseverance and Courage." In the course of his address, he said, perseverance, with courage was the only means through which we can attain that for which we are striving. He held the attention of the audience from start to finish. He urged the members and friends to stick to the principles of the U. N. I. A. and assist in putting over the program of the association. The next address of the evening was delivered by Mr. M. Fraser, who made an appeal to the members and friends to support this grand and noble cause. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. W. O. Small. Before the meeting was brought to a close the chairman thanked those who helped to make the evening a success. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. The meeting on Monday the 5th was well attended. It opened in the usual manner with the singing of the ode "From Greenland's Iry Mountains," followed by prayer. The following program was rendered: Address, by the chairman; address, in Spanish by Prof. Bolten; solo, by Mrs. E. Murray; solo, by Mise Stewart; duet, by Messrs. Levy and Fraser; address, in English by Prof. Bolten; solo, by Mrs. Malcolm; reading, "The Pathfinder," by Mr. M. Fraser; recitation, by Miss E. Thompson; solo, by Miss Turner; closing address, by chairman. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. On Sunday, November 23rd, the London Division of the U. N. I. A. and the A. C. L. held a very successful mass meeting at the Public Hall, Canning Town. The meeting was well attended and the president, Bro. F. Bishop, presided. Other officers present were Sec. Bro. A. Timothy and Assistant Secretary Bro. R. Hart, who acted as chaplain. The President called the meeting to order at 7:30 p. m. and opened it in the usual manner with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer. The preamble was read by Sec. Bro. A. Timothy, after which the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. were read by the President, who also read the front page of The Negro World to the audience. The following program was rendered: Address, by Ero. P. N. D. La Haye, who chose as his subject "Stop Bickering." He urged the members and friends to stick to the principles of the U. N. I. A.; mandolin sola "Alas, Those Bells Sweetly Chime," by Mr. A. Timothy; address, by Mrs. Norris, who made an appeal to members and friends to give their beat to the great cause (Mrs. Norris is an English lady in sympathy with the U. N. I. A.). Address, by Mr. J. Clarke, a member of the parent body of New York; mandolin sola "The Death of a Patriot," by Mr. A. Timothy; address, entitled "Obligation," by the President, Bro. F. Bishop; address, by Bro. H. R. Hart, in which he appealed to the audience to subscribe to our fund for the renting of a Liberty Hall and recreation center, where mass meetings could be held weekly, and which is very essential to the progress of the division; hymn, "O. Africa, Awaken," by the audience. The president, Mr. P. Bishop, offered a vote of thanks to officers, members and friends for their co-operation in this great undertaking, asking them to bring along their friends to the next meeting, to be held on December 14. This resolution was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1985 For the Benefit of All Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Friends of Its President-General A LARGE SIZE PICTURE OF MARCUS GARVEY For Framing and Hanging in the Home, With His Autograph Signature, the Only Official Picture in Circulation With Copyright You Can Secure One Now for 60 Cents, Postpaid to Any Part of the World Address S. MARCUS GARVEY 10 W. 129th Street, New York City Agents Who Drive to Handle These Pictures Can Also Represent With a Special Offer The paramount chief having paid the fine left for Dunkwa, a station on the railway line, with the view of traveling to Sekondi, the seat of the Provincial Judge, to bring up an action for criminal assault against Major Cumine, but on the persuasion of his councillors he instructed his solicitor at Sekondi to report: the affair in writing to the Commissioner of the Western Province, Major Cumine's superior officer, with the request that it be reported to the Governor at Accra. The Provincial Commissioner, however, did not appear to have informed the Governor of the incident, but proceeded to Dunkwa to induce the chief to make up with Major Cumine. In the end, after an inquiry by the Provincial Commissioner, Major Cumine, the District Commissioner, was found to have misbehaved himself and he had to slaughter a sheep and offer drinks amounting to £8. In propagation of his offense. The Provincial Commissioner did not take any step as to the refund of the fine of £15, nor did he appear to have considered it as his duty to see that suitable amends were made by Major Cumine's orderly for the assaults committed by the latter on the sub-Chief and the medicine woman; and the Chief dissatisfied with the result of the Provincial Commissioner's inquiry addressed a letter on the matter to the Governor at Accra and another to the Aborigines Society. The offense of Major Cumine is an extreme one, and we have no record of any British officer having used his hands on a Chief of this country; but if such a thing had happened elsewhere than at Sewph we do not know but that the consequence would have been disastrous, for to hit a person sitting on a stool in this country, is not only regarded as a very serious affront to the stool holder personally, but as an outrage against the State of which he is the head. Major Cumine must, therefore, regard himself as a very lucky man that he committed the offense at Sefwhl Bokwal and not elsewhere. Although the nature of the above case makes it an exceptional one, it is by no means a unique example of the affront to native chiefs as often offered by some of the officers who are serving in the Political Department. The Provincial and District Commissioners pretend not to recognise the status of the paramount Chiefs and the subordinate Chiefs in relation to his Majesty's Government, and their habit of going about the country ordering native rulers to remove their headgear and to lower their clothes in their presence is meeting with growing resentment on the part of the Chiefs and their people, and unless this mad habit is checked it will cause serious trouble some day. What we particularly desire to draw attention to, is the necessity for the Colonial Office to regulate the relations that should exist between the native chiefs and the local autocrats, from the Governor downwards, so as On Sunday after noon, December 21, 1924, a grand mass meeting was held at Liberty Hall, 6311 Frankstown avenue. East Liberty, by the East Liberty division of the U. N. J. A. No. 134. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. M. C. Carter. The opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," was sung, followed by prayer by Mr. James Tyner. The following program was rendered: Address by the Hon. Edward Alle of Pittsburgh, Pa. Division No. 61. "The U. N. J. A. band." address by Mr. Alfred Hill, bandmaster of the U. N. I. A. band. We had as a distinguished visitor Mr. Jacob L. Phillips, president of the Modern State Bank of U. Liberty; Mr. D. D. Mosby, cashier; Mr. Thomas Richardson, director, and Mr. Robert E. Vaughn, also connected with the Mod- Bank. The following program was rendered: Mr. D. B. Dosey delivered a very splendid address, "Thelift and Economy," address by Mr. Frank May of East Liberty division. We must also make special mention of the Easy Liberty band, which is progressing by leaps and bounds, and in a very short while we expect to have a band second to none. A collection was taken up, after which the meeting was brought to a close with the slinging of the Ethiopian National Anthem to the accompaniment of the band. Benediction was pronounced by the chaplain, Rev. J. E. Livingston. C. A. TAYLOR, Reporter. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. On Friday and Sunday, December 12 and 14, the New Bedford Division of the U. N. L. A. held, a grand mass meeting, both of which were well attended, and opened by the president, Mr. A. Robinson. The ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," was sung, followed by prayer. The following program was rendered. Address, by Mrs. Heidley, lady president of the Boston Division, solo. by Miss Ramsey, accompanied by Miss Grocie, address, by Mr. E. G. Williams, secretary to Lady Vinton Davis. Lady Davis was the principal speaker on both occasions. She delivered a very interesting address, which was greatly appreciated by the audience. The collection taken up amounted to $37.33. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. to inform the conduct of the local officials in their dealings with the native authorities. And the Secretary of State can conveniently do this by calling for and examining the treaties entered into between the government of her late Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria and the Chiefs at the time this country came under British protection. We have no doubt that the Colonial Minister will discover from a study of these old documents that the Gold Coast holds a unique position in the British Empire, and that the Chiefs by their own volition brought themselves and people under British protection without in any way parting with their ancient rights and privileges, and that they are entitled to be accorded with the same deference that is paid to the ruling Chiefs of India. It may be that our rulers here cannot measure their greatness by the If you are SEEKING WITH REMEMBRANCE, SOLITA, LUMBA, BAGO, JAME BACK, GOUT.

What we say is that by virtue of their status as defined by existing treaties, the Chiefs as heads of States should be accorded with the same respect that is due to the Governor as the representative of the Crown here, and it should not be possible for mere Provincial and District Commissioners to go about the country insulting and assaulting our rulers in the way demonstrated above. As it is well nigh hopeless to expect the local government to do what is right and reasonable in such matters, we appeal to the Secretary of State to cause regulations to be issued on the subject to the end that peace and harmony may prevail in the country to the promotion of British African interests. The prevailing opinion that everything white is good and everything black is evil must be destroyed if the race is to advance. All of the "Uncle Tom" Negroes are not the poor, illiterate kind, but many an "Uncle Tom" occupies high positions in the community life.

You'll guess her age at about 32. She as slim as a silver birch tree and there isn't a line in her face. I never have seen a "Follies" girl who is any prettier than Catharine when she's dressed for a party. And her clothes are wonderful. So I was not prepared for the shock I had about a month ago when I stopped in at her house on my way downtown. George, her husband, was just leaving. He looked gloomier than usual. Her door was open and I went in. Catharine was sitting up in her lace-trimmed bed, having her coffee. But I hardly recognized her. Her head was tied up in a white cloth, there was a rubber wrap under her chin, and her face and neck were smeared with a sort of gray plaster. She was wearing a large pair of white cotton gloves. "My word, what's happened to you?" I asked. "Automobile wreck?" "Nothing," she said. "But don't make me laugh or the mud will crack. Sit down and have some coffee, and I'll tell you about it." "Mud?" I repeated. "Mud?" "Don't pretend you haven't heard of a mud-pack for the face." Catharine said. "You know it's supposed to remove lines and wrinkles. The rubber strap under my chin is only a strap I wear at night to keep from having a double chin, and the cloth tled around my head is just to hold the water-wave combs in." "Why the gloves?" I asked. I simply had to know. "Just to keep the cold cream on my hands from rolling the coverlet." Catharine explained. "I went over to the dressing table. Beside the cream was a smaller box labeled "Nose Cream" and a bottle of "Muscle Oil." There was a large white tray filled with rouge and lipstick and long eyebrow pencils. There were five bottles of French perfume, and a great jar of hair pomade. "What does Jack think of all this?" I couldn't help saying. "Oh, he's used to it now." Catharine said lightly. "When we were first married he couldn't bear to see me with cold cream on my face even. But I just told him I was going to keep young." "How can he kiss you goodbye through that mud pack?" I went on. "Oh, he doesn't any more, anyway. I hardly see him in the morning. You know yourself how matter-of-fact married people are." But I know that not all of them are matter-of-fact. And that if they are, something's wrong. And it's easy to see that Catharines has failed as a wife because she doesn't care how she looks when her husband's around as long as the rest of the world thinks she's beautiful and young.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1965 L'Afrique a eu son incarnation féminine du patriotisme exalté. Ce fut yers la fin du septième siècle qu'elle parut et se mit à la tête de son peuple pour repousser l'invasion des Arabes. L'histoire a pas conservé le nom de cette heroine africaine. On l'appelait populairement La Kahena à cause de ses visions et inspirations prophetiques. Ce mot signifie Prophetesse ou Sorcière. "On croit qu'elle descendait de la famille des Damin, et qu'elle cait la fille de Tabeta, fils d'Enfale. Son titre de Dahiah lui venait de son rang comme souveraine des Djoraquah, une tribu berbere de la chaine des Aures qui s'était convertie au Judaisme. Il a été impossible, jusqu'ici de retracer les origines, de la grande famille Berbère. Jeurs origines se perd dans la nuit des temps. On sait seulement qu'ils sont les plus ancienement connus des peuples du Nord-Afrique et qu'ils descendent des Lybiens. Beaucoup de berberes sont des blonds aux yeux bleus. On retrouve leurs profil dans la sculpture primitive de l'Egypte. L'influence berbère sur la population punique de Carthage se reconnaît à la mode lybienne d'inhumer les morts; et dans le nom de Tanit, la divinité suprême des Carthaginois. Les etymologistes se forcement de trouver un rapport entre le nom de cette divinité et les vocables sacres employes naugure dans le rite d'un tule africain préhistorique. Le conte Byron Khun de Drotok qui sous les auspices des Services des Autiquités du Government français, va inaugurer des fouilles à El Djem, se propose de vérifier la théorie qu'il nourrit à savoir que les Berbères, par leurs ancêtres lybiens, descendent des Atlantides qui survecurent à la submersion de leur ile et qui sitablent sur le plateau de Hoggar près le Salara. A la destruction de Carthage, les Berbères adoptèrent superficiellement le paganisme romain; et, à la chute de Rome toutes les formes de religion qui y furent introduites par la longue théorie de conquerants qui se succéderent sur leur sol. Maïn, en réalité, ils maintient intactes leurs croyances et leurs pratiques religieuses. Au cours des luttes qui bouleversèrent tout le Nord-Afrique, ils contentent de rester spectateurs impassibles des conflits qui se livraient. De temps en temps, ils durent reculer leurs frontières et se refugier de plus en plus profondement dans leurs mornes sur les confins du desert. A l'issue des longues et cruelles guerres d'Islam, les Arabes vanquirent les Byzantines et penetrerent dans l'Afrique du Nord Cette irruption, fut pour les Berbères le signal d'une insurrection Ils se préparrent à la resistance sous la conduite de Kocella, roi de la tribu des Adorebas. En 682, Kocella reconquit l'independence berbère par le défait dOkba. Vaincu à son tour, le peule était sans chef, lorsqu'on vit surgir La Kahena qui, se disant envoyée par les dieux mena son peule au combat. Dans une bataille, au pied des Monts Aures, elle repoussa l'attaque de Hassan, gouverneur d'Egypte, et refoule les Arabes jusqu'a Gabés. Les forces ennies étaient au nombre de 40,000; celles des Berbères de 12,000. Quatre-vingts des aides-de-camps de Hassan turent faits prisonners. A l'exception d'un seul, La Kahena les renvoya tous sans exiger de rancon. Le prisonnier qu'elle garda était le jeune Kabled, de la tribu des Cais. Elle l'adopta selon l'ancien cérémonial berbère et lui dit; "Jamais je n'ai vu d'adolescent aussi beau que-vous. Je vous adopte afin que vous soyez mon fils et le frère de mes enfants". Persuadée que les Arabes ne combattaient que par soif de pillage, et débutin, elle décréta la destruction de toute la portion du pays compris entre El Djem et Sfax. Cette politique fanatique fut exécutée avec un rôle systématique. Les cidés furent raisés, les citernes et les canaux d'irrigation furent detritus, les forêts et les champs d'oliviers ravagés pour les soustraire à la convivie de l'enemien. Durant cinq ans le programme de dédilation se poursuivit. A la fin La Kahena se trouva anilégée dans le Colisée de El Djem; main a aucun moment de cette longue attaque son armée ne manquait de provisions alimentaires, olivères à des sources mystérieuses. Cont au point que, remarquant à un moment d'attaque que les assemblées d'invent equivulentes minima par la faim, elle orbitaque à ses solsides de jour joint des pauvres frises. La tradition rapporte qu'elle avait fait crucé sur un pasage souterrain long du vingtième et suffisamment large pour permettre la passage de trois cavaliers de front. Ce surrender faimé communiquer la force, avec Sollacin sur mer. Cfaut oe souhaiterent que l'explorateur Protokok va chercher à découvrir. La Khalma fut vainque en definitive. Hassan ayant recu des renforcements, la reine comprit que sont était perdue. La veille de la dernière bataille elle imposa la mission à ses files et les envoya, ainsi que Khaled, au camp de Hassan. Puis elle nena ses troupes se battre à Mitoasson. Elle fut vainque et tuée par les forces ennemies conduites par Khaled. Ainsi perit l'independance de ce peuple, dit Khaldoun, Uhistorien arabe. Le bollweevil dans les cotonniers d'Haiti Les chenilles devorent literalement les cotomiers, dans le Département de l'Artigitee sans que les quatorze experts envoyés à grand tracé par le Government de Washington puissent rien contre elles. Dernierement, Mr. Freeman gétait transport sur les fiscus et avait procédé à la desinfection d'un champ de cotomiers. Il amiazione au propriétaire que dans vingt-quatre les résultats se produisient. Au bout des vingt-quatre heures, tous les cotomiers étaient mortes. Raillé par les commaux Mr. Freeman mosepi en tenant à ce qu'il parait.

El universo entero esta abarrotado de propaganda; propaganda ingesta, propaganda francese; propaganda ademana, propaganda anglo-americana, propaganda japonesa y ya se have imprecidiblemente necesario, como un deber de nuestra parte, el contrarrestar toda esta clase de zizania universal con la verdadera propaganda dimanada de una conozca noble y de una conciencia limpia.

CENTENAIRE DE FIFTH AVENUE La Cinquème Aventue de New York, célébrée dans le monde entier comme l'artère par éminence où le luxe, l'élegance et la beauté artistiques se sont données rendez-vous a fete, récemment son centiètre ammiraire. A cette occasion tous les quotidiens ont fait paraire des éditions extraordinaire, illustrant les changements progressifs par lesquel cette voie très-modele au début de deveneur ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui. Religion y propaganda de materialización han arraunado a nuestra raza; ya que esta reconoce su verdadero Dios, ha de venerarle por medio de la agencia de la verdad y no por medio de la hiporriza y de la mentira, política de las escuelas misionarias, las cuales enseñan cristianismo con un tonio y roban y expiotan con el otro. La raza acepta la religión del verdadero Cristo; no el cristianismo que arrebata el sustento, la propiedad y hasta el hogar al semejante, sino el Cristo de amor, de justicia y de misericordia; la raza no acepta la propaganda de tanta mentira y de tanta faigia, que hace del mundo un hogar de placer, prosperidad y feicidad para aquellos que con suficiente malicia, proclaman que el Creador les ha hecho duenos del mundo y arquitectos de sus propios destinos. ECLIPSE DE SOLEIL Le 24 Janvier, 1924; il y aura une eclipse totale du soleil. Cette eclipse sera visible; aux Etats Unis, à Long Island, à Nantucket et dans une partie de l'Eutat de New York. Le Departement de la Marine est en train d'étudier un projet d'observations dans le but de faire prendre des photographies. On pense que les dirigeables "Shenandoah" et "Los Angeles" seront employés à cette fin. El ainor a Cristo y la veneración a la religión cristiana de parte de nuestra laza es inquestable; pero reusamos aceptar por más tiempo la interpretación que a esta dan aquellos cuyos principios fundamentales persiguen el adelanto ó el establecimiento de los derechos humanos. Ellos han fragado al tratar de imprimar al mundo en esta era de luz y de progreso, con su honradez de propósito, sin simples propagandistas que cual maquina parlante laboran mecanicamente nuestra raza esta harta ya de intrigas y de decepciones, y se fortifica con la coraza de la expediencia. Incendie a Jersey City Nos abriga la esperanza que la raza humana encontrará en dia no lejano su verdadera alma, y siendo olvidará que Inglaterra deberá vivir expensas del Afrika y de la India, y de que deberá existir a expensas de la benignidad del los millones de negros, y que todos nosotros deberemos tener un amor comn y vivir en simpatia, repartiéndonos igual carga y asociar nuestras lagrimas y amarguras en el terrible transe de la existencia. Sur le quay K du chenin de fer de Pennsylvanie, au pied de la deuxième rue, un incendie s'est déclare qui a duré trois heures. C'est le troisième incendie à ravager la ville de Jersey. City ces dernières semaines. Les pertes sont évaluées à $1,000,000. Tal es la esperanza de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de La Raza Negra, y es nuestra creencia que este nuevo año nos traera más cerca hacia la realización del ideal por el cual Cristo vino a este mundo, a pagar con su muerte por nuestra redención. Nosotros deseamos que todos los negros mantengan una actitud de temperancia, actitud no solamente en el sentido de la disipación simo en lo general. La raza debería pensar mas serio y mas profundamente y dar un pensamiento más inteso a lo que concierne a la vida que nos rodeo y al futuro que anhelamos. El mejor consejo que podemos ofrecer en este nuevo año es, que cada uno de nosotros debemos un pensamiento más bondedo al objetivo que persigue esta organización, unir nuestra fuerzas mentales, físicas y materiales en todo aquello que deseamos más; reacción estrecha entre nosotros, fraternidad dentro de la raza y llevar por divisa UN MISMO DIOS, UN MISMO OBJETO, UN MISMO DESTINO. On ignore la cause de l'incendie, nuis les fonctionaires, alarmés par la réposition des conflagrations, la recherchent très activement.

Spanish Section Los tres Reyes han salido de sus palacios. Los tres tres venjecion. El rey Melchor es alto, con una barba blanca, con sus ojos azules, un tantico encorvado, con un bigote largo y una perilla más larga todavía. El Rey Gaspar no usa nada en la cara; va afetado, pikro, correcto, pero su narle cae un poco en gancho sobre laoca, y en la comiura de sus labios hay algo como una conrisa equivoca, inquietante, como una ironia vaga, desconsoladora. Yo os digo desde este instante, pequeños amigos mios, que no perdidas de vista a este viejecio.... Los tres Reyes van, caminando durante la noche por un camino largo; las estrellas brillant, serenas, rutilantes, en la boveda negra; abajur en la tierra, tal vez en la lejania remota, que oye un gnite, perdido o se ve el besplandor incierto de una lucecita. Esta lucecita indica una cuiridad. Los Reyes han llegado-ya a esta ciudad. Ya can a recorrer sus calles; ya van a deterense ante las casas; ya can a meter las manos en sus granides arcaces; ya van a dejar en los baicones sus dadiivas ansidadas. Pero los tres se detienen un momento antes de penetrar en la ciudad. Antes-ya lo habre oido contar—estos Reyes en muy ricos y los ponián sus regalos a todos los niños de todas las casas, de todas las ciudades; pero el tiempo ha corrido mucho; las circunstancias han cambido mucho para los Reyes. y estos tres exceintes monarcas, a fuerzas de prodigir sus dadiñas, han venido a ver grandeinveniente intermado su caudal. Quiero decirso que Gaspar, que Baltasar y que Melchor se vgu todos los años en el terrible compromiso de no dejar sus recuerdos previsió sino a tales o cuales nífos que el azar les designa. La propaganda maliciosa de las otras razas—Debemos patrocinar las empresas de nuestra organización y arraigarnos a su esplendido ideal—Prédicas de los falsantes en nombre del salvador—Cotrarrestemos propaganda con propaganda—Nuestra raza venera la santa doctrina y el credo de la verdadera religión cristiana—Esperanza para el futuro—Un bueo consejo Es verladeramente alentador el observer cuan maravillosamente nuestro pueblo se decarta de la influyente psikologia de las otras razas, promoviendo un caracter racial de si propio. Por largo tiempo elementos de otras razas han tratado de esclavizarnos por medio de su propaganda falsa y viciosa; ellos han intentados hacernos observar la vida bajo su propio punto de vista y convertirnos en instrumento para la realizacion de sus aspiraciones; pero afortunadamente, de nuestra raza surge en esta nueva efa de progreso un nuevo tipo de hombre, dispuesto a deshacerse de la psikologia y de la propaganda del semejante y patrocinar su propio ideal. La raza blanca ha obtenido exito en la sumisión del universo, imponiendo a todos su modo de pensar; ella ha dado al mundo desde las paginas de la Biblia hasta la musica incua cuartilla de presa la literatura que establece su derecho y soberania en desventaja del resto de la familia humana. Su propaganda le ha hecho la duencia de la situacion y todos aquellos que se han puesto en contacto y han aceptado aquella, se han converido en sus esclaves. Nuestra organización apela de nuevo a los encuentros millones de elementos de la raza, para que descartados de la psicología ye de la propaganda de los otros pueblos, establezca y defiende la raya propuesta. El Hanoo ha predicado, que lo mejor del universo ha sido una diadica existiva para nosotros predicaremos de lo sucesivo que todos y cada una de las belezas de la creación son nuestras y que son lo legalmente los heredetos de todo cuanto el Ser-Supremo haya conferido al hombre; el blanco ve un mundo para el y propaga su detrita de genero; el Negro del mismo modo reconoce actualmente el mismo derecho y predicará el ideal a todos su generaciones. Los tres Reyes se han dejeido a las 'puritas' de la ciudad. Mélech el de la barba blanca y los jos azules—no creía a quien os lo pinte con tez negra, 'tiene delante de si una gran arca, que el ha abierto para inspeccionar que es lo que queda en ella. Baltasar, el de la perilla y el bigote—reiros de los que os lo representen de otro modo—tiene también su area, y en ella, con el mismo fin, he hecho su recuento. Gaspar, pequeños animigos míos, no tiene area, no tiene equipaje, no tiene ningun camello, ui calloso, ui asno en que llevar lo que ha de regalar a los mitos, pero tiene una nariz un poco encorvado y unos labios que expresan una ironia suave, vaga, inquiradora. Nada en concreto, nada honesto hemos de hallar en la literatura que propaga las ideas radicales de las otras razas; en pro de sus intereses propagan la bidad de su propio pueblo, desagraditando los hecho meritorios de los demas. No heimos de esperan que editores y escritores de otras razas no bilden con otros calificativos que los de salvajes e ignorantes proclamandose ellos super-hombres y semidioses. Hora es ya para que muestra raza cese de pensar en las ideas de otros pueblo en el sentido de aceptarias como direccion y proposito en la vida; debemos y tenemos que ser nuestros propios directores, delineando el derrotero de nuestro propio destino. Los tres Reyes han hecho ya su arqueo y se disponen a penetrar en la ciudad. Como van siendo ya por obras, ellos no llenan las cestas que hay en todos los balcones, sino que seguir la comodidad o el capricho, dejan sus muebles. v regalos en unos que no pocos y pasan de largo alto otos, que son muichos. He de decuros que para que sean más los unos favorecidos, los tres Reyes han converido, no en donar los tres sus regalos a tedos los nitos elegidos, sino en que cada una haga una donación a cada niño. Y asi de tarde en tarde. Melchor se para delante de una casa y abre su arcón, luego deja en la ventana su dada. Lo que este rey de la barba blanca regala, se llama INTELIGENCIA. Mácho de un largo rato, Baltasar se detiene ante otra casa y mete la mano en su tesoro; después pone su diáfisa en la ventana. Lo que este rey del bigote y de la perilla dona tiene por nombre BONDAD. Y solo este hisórico rey Gaspar, este rey de la mariz picuda y de los tabios apretados, sólo este rey pasa, y pasa, y pasa ante los balcones y se detine sino ante uno, o dos o tres de cada ciudad. Y ¿que es lo que hace entonces el rey Gaspar? ¿Qué es lo que regala este rey? ¿Por qué es tan sordido, tan avaro, tan riguroso en sus regidos? Todo el tesorado de este rey está en una diminuta caixa de plata que el lleva en uno de los bolsillos de su levita—no olvidad que los reyes usan ahora, lebita. Cuando Gaspar se detine ante un balcon, alla, muy de tarde en tarde, el echa mario de su pequena caja, la afre con cuñidad y pone su donativo en el balcon. No es uada lo que ha puesto; es una cosa insignificante; es como humo, que se disipa al morviendo; pero este niño favorecido con tal regaló gozará de el durante toda la vida y no se separara de el ni la felicidad ni la alegría. El rey Gaspar ha depositado ya su regalo. Sus ojos verdes—no os he dicho antes que eran verdes—brillan fosforecescentes; su narz pareace que baja más sobre la boca, v en los labios se dibuju con más profundidad su iro e vaga. Acercos pequeños amigos mios; yo es qilerndeir lo que el rey Gaspar lave en su caja. Sobre la tana, con batas diminutas, pone: ILUSIONES. MAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE NEGRO RACE It Depends Largely Upon the Race and How It Uses Its Opportunity — What Marcus Garry Has Done to Arouse the Sleeping Negroes of the World To the Editor of The Negro World: We have just passed another anniversary of the man Jesus, whose birth and ascension nineteen hundred years ago firmly secured for man eternal spiritual salvation. Our minds naturally contemplated the ideals for which that great spiritual-being inside so tremendous a sacrifice has haxined. His life and manhood and condescending act actually taking upon Himself human infirmities. As we meditate in wonder and in awe why a being so holy and exalted should 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Blinds Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-ix Year-Old Veteran.

Love, compassion and service the great ideal and objective of the now ascended Redeemer. The great reformer and Saviour, having realized His mighty spiritual objective, has rescinded, and today the principles and ideals for which He entered the flesh, for which He suffered and died, are the only sanctifying hope of humanity, whose life. The Prince of Peace was incarnated and did that men might brothers he. He died to express love the foundation of all life. He died to reclaim spiritual man, and man is of dual composition. During the course of the ages, and today, men have been and are yet experiencing many 'up' ups and downs in their material affairs. At present, as in the past, humanity's suffering from the pressure of materialism. It is to secure freedom from this great pressure that nations and races of all times have adopted so many popular attitudes in their dealings with each other. Through sin and selfishness many nations have been living and as a result we are living on the busk of our existence only. The best ideas for which the Prince of Peace gave His life are upheld but by a few of earth's teening millions. But the work of the Redeemer has not failed. It cannot fail. For the life he lived and the mission. He made have power and are still serving us as an everlasting example and inspiration for men of every race, nation and great, and as we behold in our imagination the coming of the blessed Christmas anniversary, which means so much for the world especially, our thoughts also reflect upon those men and those institutions which are doing so much for the well being of the weak, downroden and-defenseless. Humanity is one great unit, but men are divided into various groups, and every group has its own popular problem to solve. We, the 499,000 men of us, human beings represent the Negro group of the human family, and we have a great problem before us for solution. Our problem at this time constitutes the ideal in which we achieve, constitutes the ideal for which we suffer and are prepared to die for if needs be. That ideal is: 'The universal emancipation of our people from the oppression of slavery under our common suffer and the redemption of Africa from the possession of great intruders and exploiters. Yes, the emancipation of our people and the redemption of Africa are the burning ambition and desire of every real Negro. To bring about a realization of a racial or national ideal, the guides, redeemers and saviors of the day are inspired by a higher sense of love, service and duty for their less-thinking fellows, and they formulate plans and programs. Thus it is we will hold in our own racial group men and movements that are working more or less connecchiously to unmask the ideal of a racial or national ideal, and those men and the movements are Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Negro humanity has been suffering for centuries because of our ignorance and the absence of true leaders. During the source of our suffering there have sprung up a few shining lights. taken in the privacy of the home. It was important to know who cared for research, have such great faith in its relitative power that they would not allow anyone to take over. The treatment is out in up to tables, known as the "mass room," and includes modular results, that indications being improved aquaria, nurses found up, restful beds, and a comfortable chair. The animals obtained by scientific tests were no longer trained by the staff, and are ranged for everyone interested in long life, youthful health and health to test it without your name and address (no money), to Atlasian databases, and to a well-trained will and you a well-trained will.

The duties and requirements are pristently refunded in full. You should feel that this trial offer, as it is fully guaranteed. but those lights did not fully possess those forces that are conductive to a definite end. But with the advent of Marcuus Survey and the organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the permanent cure for Neroug his has come. For that reason Negroes the world over have caught a new vision that is elevating their hope for the future. Under the influence and power of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the mind of Negroes everywhere are gradually undergoing a transformation that will eventually result in their occupying their proper place in the affairs of men. Through the leadership of Marcuus Garvey and the medium of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the ideal of the Negro peoples of the world will be realized, because the man and the movement of Negroes which alone can bring about the desordination of a struggling people. At this time, when we are meditating upon love, service and sacrifice, let Negroes everywhere unite in the effort to bring about a more speedy consumption of our desire. Every Negro is called to the grand work of emancipation and redemption, because every unit of our great race possesses those forces that are required to internalize our grand objective. When through the sustained and combined effort of Mareus Garvey and other conscientious Negroes, our race the world comes to know the real facts that appear—and so-called, that suffering will come to an end. *Negroes, the things that we are around us are not gossip, but are the effects of cones. Follow men, mind, be in only creator and power. In *Negroes possess mind!* there is a difference it is not in kind, but in the degrees of realization, development and expression. Therefore, *Negroes no longer worship Us like others* and fabrics. If we must worship us, we worship us by making ourselves and ourselves create these conditions that we must desire. It is to the end of self-expression that the Hom. Macros there has been calling our attention to. The proper relationship between men should be love and appreciation only for all men are in reality the same, so the thinking and intention of the more developed nations and races will not change this time take advantage of the Negroes present all condition, that will in the spirit of the man Jesus assist the Negroes a recollection of his own experience, and will help us in I will draw all men unaware. Will professing Christian nations and races duplicate and practise that wonderful expression in their deeds with the Negro. The Negroes will be unanimous that Negro shall be redeemed, because Negroes, desire that it shall be so, and it is desire that materializes all ideas. Let the forces of evil continue to do their worst, the law of redistribution should enjoy their per cent. I like to respect that Africa shall be redeemed, although there are many obstacles in the way. Men can destroy the Negroes, and they can control, and today, thank God. Negroes are becoming more spirit than body, and will, therefore, be indestructible. The Negro race lives the rest of the human family because we are穷够 enough 67 to realize that we cannot really live God and hate our fellowmen, and so we endure the ignorance, dishonesty and abuses of our fellow-man. But we fear no force but the power of God, for we know that the only is the creator, preserver and final power of God. We will also confidence in Him. And as we endeavor to make provision for our material needs by encasing in industrial enterprises and by acquiring steamships, etc., we will also remember the purpose for which the man Jesus was born. We will not be blinded by the materialism of our age, but we will truly demonstrate the spirit of real love and brotherhood, which is the manifest duty of the Negro race. At this season my effort for Negroes is an inspiration to be of good cheer, an inspiration to light on with comfort, an inspiration to lead the leadership of Garvey and the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. With the assurance of my good wishes for your present and future happiness, yours sincerely. HONACE HUBBERT Upper Regent street, Kingston Jamaica, B. W. I.

Dept. Ltd. Shannon Area, Impulsion, South America. The baby's wants are few, but he is an entirely too important person not to be given deep consideration. His gifts must above all be daity in color, beautifully made and appropriate. A matching jacquet and jacket of very, very satin ribbon would please the mother as much as the child. For a little girl, who early in life may be expected to misfess her delight in frills and fuselabs, the edges may be lace trimmed and French flowers or tiny rosettes of ribbon decorate the seabell. A young man who has not yet reached the age of protection, such an adult would be more appropriate merely bound with ribbon, and all scallops, lace and bows eliminated. If you wish to add a little warmth to this gift it may be intersplined with a layer of flannel. Fugging, button-holing or any-fancy stitch may replace the lace eliging, if desired. Since safety pins are so much worn by the yummier set, a fancy container for them would be sure to be appreciated. The touch of fantasy introduced by the two kevyle heads and the frivolous bows in the cushion photographed neutralizes the utilitarian purpose and shows just how interesting such a device may be made. A simpler model is merely a square or oblong cushion, very soft and light in weight, covered with satin ribbon and trimmed with a bouquet of ribbon. For keeping his clothes neat and unwinkled, the baby would appreciate a padded lunge, covered with ribbon to match the color scheme of his nursery. Of course the handle should be wound with narrow ribbon, and a bouquet of fruit or flowers added for good measure. Flowers or ribbon rosettes with safety pins enclosed are easily fitted onto a dainty frock to give a festive air. For a very young baby, a baby pillow is most acceptable. This should be filled with down, very soft, and not, they've stuffed. The covering should be plush so it is easily removed and cleaned. The most practical pillow is made of handkerchief linen, embroidered with French embroidery, or it may be entirely of lace or it may be made of satin ribbon. The one photograph has the baby's work titled in narrow ribbon to match the pink satin of which the cover is made, and the whole looks like a nicely frosted birthday cake. If you can make rag dolls successor you have it in your power to please a baby immensely. These should always be made of materials that will withstand much rough usage, and that will not fade. All toys for a baby should be soft so he cannot hurt himself with them and so that if he insists on taking them to bed they will not hurt him if he rolls on them.

THE NEW HEEB DISCOVERY STUDIO www.heebdiscovery.com --- It has been said that the tales of Bohumil at Rasalbah were called "The Arabian Night" because the temperatures times reached 125 degrees Fahrenheit in the shinde, whereas the nights were cool by comparison. Bohumil since the World War has had such a boom that its cosmopolitan population is much too busy to afford staus and language. The race is now to the swift. The modern quarer an idleminded from the ancient has taken to electric lights, motor transportation and the airplane. More and more Bohumil is becoming a cross-country traveler to the West*. Some time ago Winson on Churchill dubbed it—the Aeolian, Chapham Junction of the East. In the ninth century, Bagdad was supposed to have a population of 2,000,000 souls the city then being five miles across between the walls. Its only rival in literature and the arts was Cologne, which was inferior to Bagdad. Baghdad was the religious capital of Islam. Before the end of the century the decline and set it with the downfall of the Abbasid dynasty. Travelers in the twelfth century found the western city crumbling to ruins and the eastern quarter disheveled by large uninhabited spaces. It was no longer the city that term was still carried in official documents. Now they are talking of England as "an center of world traffic." Tourists are rocking into the place. Round-the-world admiren dropped down there during the summer. Major Forbes Leith on his motor trip from London to Quetta put it on his itinerary. There is a daily train service to Istanbul, and weekly convoy services to Hammadon, Telenon and Enzeli (connections with Baku). When an airplane mall service to London, via Cairo, was established two years ago passengers for London had to take a roundabout route via tadh. It consumed a month, but now motor transport carries patrons west to London in four nine to twelve days at half the cost of the old journey.
