The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 22 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES APPEAL TO NEGROES TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN ORGANIZATIONS Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: My purpose for writing this week is, if possible, to wake up each and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of the race to a sense of our general responsibility to the organization at this time. Shouldering Responsibility During the past year there has been a disposition on the part of a large number of our members and Divisions to leave the entire responsibility of the execution of the organization's program to the Parent Body, without giving the necessary support incidental to the successful carrying out of the program. Through this neglect on the part of a large number of the Divisions and members of the Organization, the Parent Body found it very difficult to meet its many liabilities and carry out its obligations for the good of the Organization. Some Divisions have been as backward in their reports as six and eight months, though locally the members supported as best they could the principles of the Organization. This backwardness in making financial reports to the Parent Body has created a hardship that taxes the ability of the administration to carry on the work of the Organization with that result that would be of general benefit to the entire membership. Doing Our Duty We have started the New Year under a similar handicap; therefore, we deem it our duty to arouse the consciousness of Divisions, Chapters, branches and members everywhere to their duty at the time in sending in their financial reports, that the Parent Body can be financially re- SHOULD UNITE IN NEW YEAR TO PUT THE PROGRAM OF RACE UPLIFT OVER SAILING OF FIRST SHIP OF BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY DEPENDENT ON WHOLEHEARTED EVERYBODY SHOULD DO HIS BEST habilitated to carry on the work for the good of the race. While the Parent Body is committed to the execution of the program that the Organization has husbanded, the local Divisions, Branches and Chapters are by duty bound to support the Parent Body to make the carrying out of its plans a success. Money is needed for 1925 to carry on the work of the Organization. Each member, therefore, should do his and her part in helping to finance the Organization. Now, more than ever, we must co-operate for the general good. We cannot do so in small groups, but as a great Organization we can unitedly work for the benefit of all concerned. A Big Negro Organization There is no doubt about it that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the biggest single Negro institution in the world. We are big in numbers, but we want the support, financial support, to enable us to do big things. Appeal for Black Cross I am also personally appealing to the friends and supporters of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company everywhere to rush in their support for the company, so as to enable us to carry on the work that is before us. Money is needed to finance the activities of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company for the promotion of our industrial and commercial program for 1925. Owing to the lack of immediate response from those who should have made it, we have had to postpone, for one week, the sailing of our first ship, which has been on Sunday, the 11th, now postponed to Sunday, 18th instant. Continuous delay in carrying out our financial obligation to the Organization or the Black Cross does not help those who are executively responsible to carry out the arrangements that should be adhered to promptly for the good of all. And so the appeal this week is to members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere to do their duty by the Organization, and supporters of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company to live up to their promise in supporting the Corporation in carrying out its industrial and commercial activities. Everybody Should Help Let everybody help, let everybody do his bit, and then the program is bound to be put over. Our determination for the new year should be to give more support financially and morally to the great cause that we love. Trusting that everyone will respond to this appeal, I have the honor to be, Universal Negro Improvement Association New York, Jan. 7, 1925.

Marcus Garvey in a masterly speech on the subject of “The Silent Murder That Eliminates,” wherein he warned the race of the dangers which lay ahead. of it in-its present. dis- organized condition, and its inability 46 combat the designs of others whose plans Were to’ climinate” the” Negro” by different processes, economic and otherwise. In the Western world, he pointed out, that the plan of elimination was by econamic pressure and he urged the race to place no beliéf in-those leaders who would haye them believe that.all is well, far, suid he, “economically, the Negro in this countr$ has never been vv badly off as he is now.” This he explained by showing that the Negro, wherever he lived in this country, wits paying more for. the things-that aré necessary to his. sustainance, \shile at the Same time his prop of support is being torn away from him: as a result he, was doomed to economic death. Organization, he pleaded. was necessary to obviate the danger ahead of the race and he made a call to the Negroes of the world to let the end of 1925 find them better organized and prepared to combat the evil designs of the other fellow. 2 : ; The other speakers. were Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and lon.

BRUCE AND SIR ISAIAH MORTER, WHO FELL IN THE FIRING LINE IN 1924 Universal Negro Improvement Association Has Advanced from the Status of an Organization to That of an Institution; Shall New Travel Into Higher Life of Nationhood LIBERTY HALL, New York, December 31, 1924.—Thousands were assembled here tonight in a watch-night meeting to see the old year out and 1925 ushered in. Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, presided over the meeting; and with him, on the platform were Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, Hon. G. E. Carter; Secretary-General; Hon. P. L. Burrows, Asst. Secretary-General, and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Asst. President-General. A splendid musical program was presented; the band-contributing several items, and solos being rendered by Miss Ethel Oughton-Clarke, Mrs. Frazier Robinson and Miss Vera Collins. The address of the evening was delivered by Mr. Garvey, who referred to the blow the association had sustained in the loss by death of Sir Robert Lincoln Poston, Secretary-General; Sir John E. Bruce, Sir Isaiah Emanuel Morter of Belize, British Honduras, and Sir James Jenkins Dossen, Chief Justice of Liberia, West Africa. The membership, however, had good grounds for congratulating themselves on the achievements of the association for the year 1924, which, among other things, had seen the development in Africa of an organization capable of pursuing on its own the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. The association had during 1924 ceased to be an organization, and had grown into an institution. Propaganda was the main work engaged in during the 1918-1924 period, and the program for the next seven years would be based on a quiet and peaceful construction while carrying forward the principles of the asso- MISS DAVI ADDRESS Lady Marietta Vinton Davis spoke as follows: Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, fellow members of the Executive Council, fellow members of the New York Local, I am glad to greet you on this last night of the old year, a night that is filled with serious thought, thoughts of the past year, thoughts for the year to come. We feel that we meet in this new year rectify the mistakes of the past year, strengthen the weak points of the past year that we may look forward with hope for the promise of the new year 1921. Let us look forward optimally. Let us feel that we are now on the threshold of a great and glorious future, not unmindful of the great goodness of God who has spared us to see another year, thoughtful of those who were gathered here one year ago taught, who are pacing now never to 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Blonds Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Severity- ary-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vision, dandelion glands and nerven, and that work, worn out, deprived and half-salt, feeling seed not surely of a well-known disease. Now it is possible, or those who feel 'pre- viously old' to become 'rejuvenated' can do it a day's time, with Manda For- rish, in the amazing statement of one who had taken the treatment. This statement is the 'new' version of 'rejuvenated' and 'previously old' who had found come-ragh. But we believe that the spirit is with us. We believe that they will do all they can in the spirit world to help this great organization, that meant so much to them, that means so much to us, that means so much not only to our race, but to humanity at large. The success of this organization will shed glory upon the Negro wherever he dwells; the success of this organization will lift the Negro to a higher and greater and a nobler status than he has ever occupied before. So, fellow-members of the Negro race, let us strive with all the energy, with all the power, with all the intellect that God has given us to us to make this coming year 1925 the banner year for the Negro throughout the world. (Applause.) MR. CARTER'S. ADDRESS HON. E. G. CARTER, SCHREYER-GENERAL, was the next speaker. He said he was sure that enthusiastic gathering was indicative of more than more sentiment, but was rather the result of much thought, which in turn had produced action on the part of a number of determined people. He would speak from the Scripture, Phillipsians, 3d chapter, in his book "Brother, I cannot not myself be appointed, but this one thing I do. I possess those things which are believed to rest upon those things which are before "The apostle Paul," he continued, "in writing these lines to the Phillipsians in mind a picture which could well be effected. The truth of the matter is when this particular saying was written Paul found himself in prison, and being in prison he had a chance for inspection and retrospection. As he turned his thoughts within there was one particular thing in his life that he could not wait for. There was a accee that would not down in spite of all his best efforts. It was the one accee in which he recalled his standing by holding the attributes of an individual who was engaged in the persecution of one the greatest characters that the world knew. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925. our minds within and see if there is not something that we might forget with a great deal of satisfacies, even to ourselves. I am talking to you in a heart-to-heart sort of manner. I want some of you to forget some of your petty differences, some of your grievances, some of the things that you have harbored against the other fellow. I want you to forget the little things in order that your vision may be colored for the bigger things that you may understand and realize that the one supreme object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to gather together and to cement into a humorous whole all the Negroes wherever they happen to live, or wherever they happen to be. And in the accomplishment of this object surely we have got to forget, our personalities; we have got to lay aside the little things in order that the greater things may be accomplished. "This is a difficult task, but the Apostle Paul realised that it could be done and he accomplished this task when he crowded into his life thoughts of mercy, thoughts of love, and things in the interest of advancing his fellowmen. When he leased his life in the interest of advancing a cause then it was that the Apostle Paul was able to forget the dark past. And as it will be with you. You must realize, that man lives not in the past, nor does he live in the present, but man's real existence is in the future. But the future depends upon the past, and in the past, and the future will be secured because of those acts." The speaker ended with a stirring appeal to his hearers to approach their duties in the new year with increased energy, greater loyalty, if that is possible, and firmer conviction. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke an follows: We are about to pass another milestone in the history and career of our lives. Individually, personally and as an organization. The year 1924, has been an eventful one, eventful in the fag that many changes have taken place affecting many governments, many nations, many races and many individuals and organizations. One of the most eventful and outstanding achievements or incidents of the year is the signing of the Dawes economic peace plan, by which Germany is to be given the opportunity to restore herself to the normal activities of nations, and the future peace not only to Europe but peace to the world. Several important political conferences were held during this year at Geneva, at Paris and at London, where statesmen, and world leaders and representatives and governments met for the purpose of devising ways and means by which the great human problem can be settled. These conferences were largely attended by wholly attended by the most progressive and representative nations of the world, particularly the white races of Europe and America and the yellow races of Asia. Because of the hereditary backwardness of the Negro he was not to any extent represented at these conferences. He was nevertheless represented through the rights of Haiti and Liberia to sit as members of the League, and we were also fortunate in getting the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia, known as Abyssinia, admitted during this year. So that at the League we have three distinctly Negro governments or nations represented. Unfortunately, as I have said before, the voice of the three united is weak because they are part of a great assembly where the preponderance of authority and power is vested in alien races. The important economic conferences and other political conferences held were not attended by Negro representatives because of the Negro's backwardness in attacks of state in the country and in world war. We are hoping that 1225 will will be the Negro further advanced and more highly developed politically so as to enable him to make his proper place in the company of nations and in the company of races and peoples. Witnessed Many Changsa We are particularly interested nevertheless in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for this year of 1929. Many changes have come into our organized existence. We during the year, lost several ominent men of the Association and of the race, men who were closely identified with us in the promotion of our object. We have been the Chief介导 uber- and the first have passed away was Prince-Robert Lincoln Poston, our late Secretary-General, the man who headed the delegation we sent to Liberia and to Portugal, and to other parts of Africa to represent our interests for colonization.

But in the fulness of his enthusiasm he represented us, and as he was returning, unfortunately, he died before he reentered the country that gave him brisk, and the country from whence he went to Africa and to Portugal—the United States of America. As you will remember, Sir Robert Lincoln Poston died at sea 12 hours before the ship docked, and we had to husband our loss and bury him as the first loss to the cause of Africa's redemption from among the members of the executive council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Lease of Industrial Giant Unfortunately, enigles of the organization inspired a contest for the will, and the matter is still before the Probate Court of British Honduras, not yet settled, and the intention of that great man not yet carried out because the desire of others not to see his will made manifest. A Scholar and Teacher The third great character we post was Sir John Edward Bruce, a great teacher, an able advocate not only of Africa's redemption but of human rights. Sir John E. Bruce stood out in this country, born here as he was, as one of the most eminent penmen, one of the most eminent journalists of the country. His writings inspired hundreds and thousands of men; his life, indeed, was one of example and of precept to be followed and to be imitated by those who desired to live the lives of real men and real women. He gave the better part of his life, the useful part of his life, to the government of country, being A government official, of country, and in the latter part of his days he came identified with the Universal New Testament Association and waged a splendid battle in defences of the ideals and the objects of this great institution. We buried him like Prince Robert Lincoln Postton—from Liberty*Hall. A Liberian Champion The fourth great man to have fallen for Africa was Sir James Jokins Dossen, Chief Justice of Liberia, the most stalwart representative in Africa of the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You will all remember that it was during this year that the Universal Negro Improvement Association staked all its moral power, its financial power, in promoting its colonization work in Liberia as by arrangement with the Liberian Government and, the Liberian people, an arrangement that dated back from 1920 and was continued and was repeated in 1921, 1922, and was completely reaffirmed in 1923 and 1924 during the visit of Sir Robert Lincoln Poston, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Hon. Milton Van Lowe. The delegation that we sent to Africa in the fall of 1923, that arrived in Africa, in Liberia, in the summer of 1921—because the time they arrived there was high summer in Liberia—that delegation met, among the representative men of the government, President King and other officials in his government, met former President Barclay, who was then our attorney and special representative, and who has, since the death of Chief Justice Dossen, been elevated to the position of Chief Justice of Liberia, and he is now Chief Justice. The delegation met him and other men, among them Hon. James Jenkins Dossen, who was then Chief Justice Chief Justice Dossen, along with the committee appointed by President King to receive the delegates from the Universal Negro Improvement Association, impressed the delegation with his undying loyalty and devotion to this great cause. He was so devoted to this great organization, he was such a loyal member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that he begged the department in agree, as well as the special committee appointed by the Liberian Government, that the first colony to be established and developed in Liberia by the Universal Negro Improvement Association was, to be developed in the county in which he lived—the county of Maryland—and it was to that county that we sent our first group of experts, our engineers and mechanics and our materials. And, unfortunately, the very Sunday on which the boat sailed into the harbor of Maryland county, Liberia, was the very Sunday, that James Jenkins Dossen breathed his last. The very Sunday we visited our ship in New York harbor, that in the harbor we entered into in October, that very Sunday on which we visited the boat was the very Sunday that great African patriotism, that great African champion, James Jenkins Dossen, passed away.

Only a truth does be written Library Commission on made CONSPIRACY TO FREEZE THE NEGRO OUT OF THE CIVIL SERVICE Dean Kelly Miller Smokes Out the President of the National Civil Service Reform League, the Civil Service Commission and Others, and Protests Against the Injustice of It—Trick Turned by Requiring Photographs of Those Who Pass the Examinations I believe that the public will be interested in the following correspondence setting forth in detail my contention for a square deal to the Negro in the civil service of the government: September 18, 1921 Mr. Win. Dudley Foulke, Press, National Civil Service Reform League, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir—Permit me to call your attention to certain abuse in the classified service of the government which are clearly out of harmony with the spirit and purpose of the Civil Service Reform Movement. Through unfair methods a large element of patriotic and loyal" American citizens are being excluded from the clerical service. When the Civil Service law was first enacted, through the unselfish and patriotic activity of the Civil Service Reform League, every applicant had an equal chance of preferment on the basis of his merit as established by a fair competitive test. I myself, received appointment as a result of competitive examination without the least influence or backdrop. When Theodore Roosevelt, that superlative American, was Civil Service Commissioner under the administration of Grover Cleveland, he insisted that every applicant should have a square deal, and especially that there be no discrimination on account of race or color. Many competent men and women entered the service those days and the government with satisfaction. But at the present time the applicant is required to submit a photograph, and is left at the mercy of the head of the bureau to which he is certified. If I had been required to submit a photograph and my appointment had been based on personal pulitrity, I should never have had the ghost of a chance. What warrant has the Civil Service Commission for presuming to judge the mind's construction in the face? The essential principle of democracy is violated by such presumption. Nor can it be claimed that the photograph is necessary for identification of the applicant. The only practical purpose served is to exclude the applicant whose face shows the color of the pigmentation. The option of the head of the bureau to select from several submitted names works to the same end where he has the authority of the race identity of the contestants. A highly intelligent clerk in one of the most numerous branches of the government informs me that he cannot recall a single Negro appointee in that department for the past twenty years. The process of elimination is going on in the various branches and bureau. The Negroos who entered the service years ago, are gradually falling through death, resignation and retirement. Any stream with outlet but without intake will soon run dry. The Negro clerks have reflected credit upon the service. In intelligence, industry and efficiency they have measured up to most exacting governmental standards. Notwithstanding restrictions of prejudice and prescription, numbers of them have been promoted to high rank in the service, and are now being retired with honor after having reached the statutory limit of age. But at the present trend and rate of things, the Negro government clerk will soon be a thing of the past, like the memory of the Negro congressman in the balmy days of long ago. Negro laborers and messengers are being appointed by white politicians for political and personal reasons. The estate system is developing in the government service under our very eyes. Roughly speaking, the classified service will coincide with one color line. Only fortunate white men temporarily embarrassed will be found below the level, and only the occasional colored man, the whilen beneficiary of political fortune, will be found above it. The Congress of the United States fixes the rules and regulations for entrance upon civil service. It is intended, a 1600 sportman who will not play the game according to rules when he himself has the regulation of the race. All Americans or qualified qualifications are invited to compete for clinical positions with absolute eligibility of 1600 and older. The successful Negro competitor shall have been prosecuted by a subpoena. Scores of individual handicaps can be furnished to support this question. The eligible Negro applicant will become discharged by registration disproportionate,脊髓 and herniation, and does not worth while to enter the competition. The Federal government by continuing this practice is initiating the Negro and christian labor out or his just cause.

(Signed) KELLY MILLER. This letter eloled no response. About the middle of August, 1824 the public press announced complaints against violations of the civil service regulations in connection with the Post Office department. I took full advantage of this occasion to write to President Gooldge, pointing out the greater evil of discrimination on account of race and color. This letter was sent to the president and was absent in Vermont and that the mater had been referred to the Civil Service Commission, from which I received the following letter. Sir: The commission is in receipt of your letter of August 15, addressed to the President, and referred to this office for reply. In reply you are informed that the general rule requiring photographs of all applicants was adopted as a means to prevent impersonation in examinations and to, insecure that the person examined in the one who reports for appointment. This requirement was prescribed only after every consideration with a view to guarding against impersonation, the means therefore employed preventing such impersonation having been found unsatisfactory and, inadequate. The duty of selecting and appointing with sole regard to merit and fitness devolves upon the appointing officer. The actions of appointing officers in the past have not been such as to indicate that they have made selections for other considerations than merit and fitness, the controlling factors under the civil service rules. By direction of the commission, very respectfully. (Signed) JOHN T. DOYLE, Sec. Here the matter rested for a time, on December 5 I received announcement of a meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League, to be held in Washington on December 16. I utilized the occasion to write to each person named on the program a letter on the subject, to which only one reply was received. This gives an exhibit of the entire procedure up to date in which I have endeavored to secure fair play for the Negro in the Civil Service of the Government. EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATED AT LIBERTY HALL Emmanuelation, Day was hittingly celebrated at Liberty Hall, New York, on Thursday night, January 1. Thousands filled the hall and listened with rapt attention to eloquent speeches delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Assistant President-General. The proceedings were enlisted with several musical items, well known soloists giving of their best.

SCIENCE TO GUIDE NATION IN FUTURE PRESIDENT'S VIEW World Now Needs the Truth, He Tells Society, Pledging Government Aid — Nation Swinging Away from Law of the Spirit WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—A brief but significant word of greeting from President Coolidge to the 4,000 members of the American Association for the Measurement of Science and Allied Societies was the feature of today's session of the annual meeting of the association. Greeting the scientists from the south portico of the White House, the President told them they held the future of civilization well in their hands, and expressed his confidence that the society would meet the task of dividing institutions adapted to their discoveries. "We need the truth and we turn to you, eager to give you all encouragement in your quest for it" the President said. "It has taken endless ages to create in men the courage that will accept the truth simply because it is the truth. Oursa is a generation of pioneers in this new faith. Not many of us are endowed with the kind of mental equipment that can employ the scientific method in seeking for the truth. "But we have advanced so far that we do not fear the results of that process. We ask no recounts from honesty and candor. We show that we need truth, and we do to you, men of our time, and of faith, eager to give all the encouragement in your quest for it." The lack of liberality by the Government in payment of its scientific workers was deplored by the President, who asserted that "the most casual inspection of the salary lists of scientific workers in Washington will make very plain that it is toward science, not the scientists, that the country has been officially generous." "You represent the interests, the forces and the endless activities which literally from day to day are conquering new domains and adding them to the imperial realm of human knowledge. You are the wonder workers of all the ages. The marvels of discovery and progress have become commonplace have become paralyzed the capacity of the mind for wonderment. Those of us who represent social organizations have institution book upon you with a feeling that includes much of awe and something of fear us we ask ourselves to what revolution we can adapt a scheme of human relations.

And to you perhaps with some doubt as to what you may finally do with us and to us, but at least, with firm confidence, we will find a life from becoming very autonomous. And besides, we realize that if we did not give you our confidence you would go ahead without it."

PE-RU-NA The Most Successful Treatment of the Century for CATARRH Tablets or Liquid Sold Everywhere MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASS'N. ARE MORE DETERMINED TO PUT OVER PROGRAM IN 1925 LEADERS WHO SAY EVERYTHING IS WELL MUST NOT BE BELIEVED—ECONOMICALLY THE NEGRO IS BADLY OPF—PERIOD OF SILENT MURDER AND ELIMINATION GOING ON ALL OVER THE WORLD Negroes Must Get Together to Avert the Designs of Other Fellow—Indifference to Our Interests Must Be Discontinued LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Jan. 4, 1925.—The members of the New York local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, having stood loyally by the organization during 1924, showed by their presence in large numbers tonight (the first Sunday night meeting of 1925), that this year shall find them no less betrothed to the principles of the organization but more determined in their efforts to put over the program and bring the race nearer to the realization of economic emancipation and governmental status by uniting the millions of Negroes in all parts of the world under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. The need of more perfect and complete organization was strongly emphasized by Hon. Marcus Garvey in a masterly speech on the subject of "The Silent Murder That Eliminates," wherein he warned the race of the dangers which lay ahead of it in its present disorganized condition, and its inability to combat the designs of others whose plans were to eliminate the Negro by different processes, economic and otherwise. In the Western world, he pointed out, that the plan of elimination was by economic pressure and he urged the race to place no belief in those leaders who would have them believe that all is well, for, said he, "economically, the Negro in this country has never been so badly off as he is now." This he explained by showing that the Negro, wherever, he lived in this country, was paying more for the things that are necessary to his sustenance, while at the same time his prop of support is being torn away from him; as a result he was deomed to economic death. Organization, he pleaded, was necessary to obviate the danger ahead of the race and he made a call to the Negroes of the world to let the end of 1925 find them better organized and prepared to combat the evil designs of the other fellow. The other speakers were Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Hon. George A. Weston. Following are the speeches: LADY DAVIS SPEAKS Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis was the first speaker. She said: In looking over this vast audience I thought what a sustained interest we have in the great program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the paramount thought now is the sailing of our ship one week from today. You come here to enjoy the speeches, the band and the singing of the choir, but you must have an underlying thought, an underlying wish and an underlying hope, and that is that we shall have a ship sailing the mighty seas—sailing the Atlantic Ocean bound for the West Indies, Central and South America, representing the united effect of a great people—representing the tenacity of a race to a purpose. Our purpose is to have ships and more ships sailing upon the seven seas carrying the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green to the utmost parts of the world. The Irish people have a ship—they could not see their way to independence without ships the Jewish people have a ship. When the Zionist movement started all the Jewish people were not in favor of the movement, but there were a few with that tenacity of purpose to have a land and country of their own. They had been for thousands of years a scattered people, but they had the determination that they must have a country and must be represented and protected by a country. And so the Zionist movement has grown until the 'TIS TRUE! YOU HAVE CORNS BUNIONS OR CALLUSES ON YOUR FEET?

Garvey Stood Alone Marcus Garvey, stood almost alone six years ago pleading with his people for a land and a country and a nation of their own, and so this marvelous growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come about by the strong purpose of this one man, Marcus Garvey, who is preaching the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth—that we as a case will never become representative until we have a country and a nation of our own, and one of the ways of having that country in to have ships and more ships.

You must realise that Negroes far and near are looking forward to this great moment when we shall have a ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. on the seas going to the West Indies. HON. G. A. WESTON SPEAKS Hon. George A. Weston spoke briefly. He said that the greatest of a man is measured only by the fact that he knows the scope of his activity. There is absolutely no limit to the possibility of the Negro who remains in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and is willing to stand by and bring to a final culmination the ideals of this great institution. The Negro without organization, he said, is but a raindrop in the sea. No race divided as the Negro is can hope for betterment unless it is nationally united. We must become nationally linked up with one great spirit striving for complete emancipation from our economic slavery. Organization Stronger Today The one and only thing before the real member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to carry on in spite of opposition—to carry on irrespective of the fact that the fellow on the outside thinks us insignificant, but, said Mr. Weaton, this great organization is stronger today than it ever was—stronger with the spirit of those of you who are wholeheartedly sticking together until the program is put over. As long as the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association lives, irrespective of who may leave the organization, we will carry on until Africa shall have been redeemed. In conclusion, he made an earnest appeal for support of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. PRESIDENT GENERAL SPEAKS Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for tonight is "The Silent Murder That Eliminates." Life is a never-ending conflict. I am speaking of human Life. We fight against each other for positions and places to a set world, as individuals, as groups, as races and as nations. Twentieth century civilization finds this fight, and conflict most severe. From this fight and conflict individuals, groups, races and nations too weak to hold their own are gradually eliminated and their places and positions yielded to others. The war is around us and at our doors. It may not make itself manifest by the flare of awards, the boom of cannon and sheating of trumpets, but in our daily contact with our fellowmen and with other groups and races we silently wage a war and die from the effects. It is said when we come to consider that we are all human beings spiritually, with one common destiny, to see that there is such heartlessness in the world as to cause the strong and powerful to inflict upon the unfortunate and weak such injury as would cause this death or this murder that I speak of. The Silent Murderer The Silent Murderer How many of us in Liberty Hall tonight—how many Nokroes in the world tonight—do know and realize that in and around us is that silent moving murderer who seeks to devour life and all that comes in its way. The sadness of it is that we as a group do not realize its truth. It is a realization of it, nevertheless, that makes some of us leaders excite us to point the way to the people. It is that struggle for life and the intention to murder on the part of the strong that causes the strong to organize so as to make it impossible for leaders to carry out their intention. Everywhere you find dissatisfied group, you will naturally find leaders. Because of the presence of millions of disaffected people in India we have a Mahatma Ghandi. Ghandi's intention is, as all leaders of oppressed people must be, to point to the people who follow him the way to security, to life, to real existence. Because of his desire to do that he comes in conflict with the silent murderer who profits by the ignorance of the masses, but has the desire to murder. Because of that Ghandi stands off as a marked man in India and everything is done to humiliate and distress him and discourage him; they put him in prison; they whip him in public places and they ridicule him because they realize that if this leader of the masses whom they seek to murder succeeds in informing the people of the intention and of the means to thwart their intentions, it simply means that it will not be so easy for the murderer to carry out his silent purpose. To be plainer in my explanation, who is the murderer? In that respect you have the great English people in England. Their one idea is that one day, India will be depopulated of native Indians and India will become another white man's country, and after years and decades and probably centuries have relied by and England in her internal national existence becomes overpopulated with her own. Having no place to go with the great surplus population would find fields in the new world that they have created in India to domicile their surplus population, and with that in view they continue to prosecute a silent murdering among the Indians until by the thousands and millions and hundreds of millions they die and ultimately pass away. The Purpose of Civilization Such a silent murder has happened in America no longer than a couple of hundred years ago. Now that silent murder is the intent and purpose of all strong people in our preoccupied civilization, you in this great consumption city of New York hardly can imagine the intent and purpose that imperiles the action of every man you come in contact with of your own in this great city and in this great country. It is a human study that only the leaders are able to finally understand, and when they do understand it they come before the people. That is what makes them leaders. They come before the people and warn the people; they may not plainly and directly tell you all but in their way they tell us about getting together, organizing, keeping, organized and working together, because they realize it is only by such force can you successfully ward off this silent murder and this silent danger. Unfortunately with our group we expect to be told everything. We cannot take certain things for granted; we cannot understand certain things said except we go into details and give you all possible reasons before you can conclude and understand really what we are driving at. Now let me say this to the Negroes of New York, to the Negroes of America and to the Negroes of the Western World. The greatest peril that confronts us today is the process of silent murder that is going on. In India the form of the silent murder is well known. Keep the Indiana poor, keep thom's compounded, keep them herded together, scatter disease among them and they die by the thousands and hundreds of thousands; ultimately you will get rid of them. In Africa there is a different process of this silent murder. There is sleeping sickness, there is compounding in unsanitary districts and there is hard labor, labor of the kind that no human being can stand for any period of time, enforced labor. All that constitute the process of the silent murder that goes on in Africa as well as in India and other parts where the people are not intelligent enough to see and understand and gather leaders have appeared such as Zaqhink Pasha in Egypt and Mahatma Gandhi in India; and there forces that constitute the silent murder would get hold of them and ridicule them before their own people, so that their own people may lose the vision of the thing they are pointing them to, so that the process of silent murder can continue until the murderers get the realization of their ideal. In our community this process of silent murder is different from that of India, that of Africa and that of Egypt. I will be living it as near as I possibly can to you. A couple of mughams I said in Liberty Hall that one city marshal in New York City reported to me that in twenty days he had in his hands and executed in the district of Harlem among Negroes only, 400 warrants of dispossession. Negroes unable to pay their wages, in the City of New York you have fully 3,000 marshals and deputy marshals. If one marshal in twenty days could have in his hands and execute 400 warrants of dispossession, compute the number of dispossession that have taken place in Harlem when we consider how many marshals have visited the district of Harlem among Negroes and then you will get an idea of what I mean by the silent murder—the silent murder of an arrangement, whereby the people are limited in their earning ability and are taxed at the maximum for their living expenses. Where must that lead to in the process of the ten, twenty-five fifty or ten years. It must lead to what I am talking about, the "silent murder of elimination" and where a population was once shilling and robust ten years ago, ten years hence it will have died and will have passed away. That is the danger that confronts the Negro in the weeen world. Human Predises We talk about human prejudices. If you knew really the prejudice around us in the world we would not fall for one minute to realize how difficult it is for the Negro to exist. We who are leaders are confronted with a tremendous problem at this time. It is very well for us to make a noise on popular issues and leave the real problem there, but such a leadership does not take us very far. One man came to me just yesterday and told me that he had a conversation with a great leader of the race who has often been in contact aggressively with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and he was discussing with him the seriousness of the situation and the leader said to him there is nothing to be alarmed about, that the Negro is now getting the best opportunity he ever got before and will ever get, and that there is nothing to worry over. That is all well. That is one of the prominent leaders of our community, and this man came back and told me what this other man said who was making an effort to belong all the leaders together and he got down to this leader first and came to me afterward and told me what this other leader said. When I got that information if I was had and then I had to be more said, because the man from whom he brought this information is not an ordinary man; he is a man high up in the recognition of public opinion of our race and of other races, and when I got that, information was only a concrete example of the view and opinion I hold before where our leaders are without vision. In the political sense the Negro has made inroads into our government that they were never privileged to carry out before. The Negro's Condition Economically Economically the Negro in this country has never been so badly of as he is now. Why do I say that? I say that because he has been invigorated into becoming a member of the social system; he has been invigorated to practice the customs of this social system, and after he has gotten this social system—well intrenched, in himself the prop to hold the social system seemed to be just getting loose away from him without any possible hope of hold- BUILDING STRENGTH Your strength mostly comes out of the food you assimilate. If you are rundown in body or vitality you need a tonic that assures plenty of food qualities along with the medicine. SCOTT'S EMULSION builds up body and strength when other means fail. Its rich, nourishing qualities fit the need of the weakened body and should be taken regularly everyday. For these, young or old, not as strong as usual, are recommended Scott's Emulsion. ing his own in the system. What I mean by that is that They have invigued the Negro in this great community life, they have set our standard of civilization, they have set our standard of living which makes it impossible for us to fall below. The moment we fall below that standard the other fellow looks down upon us as inferior and common and no good. The standard is high and the prop is to weak to keep up the standard and allow us to live continuously to that standard, and so you will find today in Harlem as well as in Philadelphia and in Chicago and all the big cities of this country that they have connivently created a standard for the Negro for the last ten years, especially during the war period, and forcing him now to live up to this standard without any support. What is going to happen? He is bound to fall under and die. And if our leaders would only be a little more probing in their attitude, would a little further into examining the truth and not take things on the surface, we would find that instead of often later talking about a condition of case and comfort, and prosperity that he would see nothing, else but danger and death staring this race of ours in its face. The Danger Ahead As I have said to you of late from Liberty Hull there is much that I cannot say that I would like to say. I can say to you individually but I cannot say it publicly and collectively as we are assembled in meetings of this kind. But I am telling you that but for our own action and for our own efforts, and by your endeavors greater danger is ahead. Don't let anybody fool you that this man and that man is your friend. There is no friend but your energy; there is no friend but your own effort to save yourself; in this gold-blooded age in this heartless twenty century civilization. The whole world around the Negro as preparing for the silent death of the Negro. It is only a question of time, except something commanded happens. The only thing that can save the situation is another big world war. Outside of that or outside of some direct visitation of God the Negro has hell before him. We are undergoing now the period of silent murder and elimination all over the world, and the longer we take to get together the quicker will the intention be carried out to its final end and final realization. When you take a survey of the life you and I live in Harlem, when you talk of the life you and I live in the big cities of this country, you will find that we as a race are paying $1 per cent, higher for life than any other group of people in this country. Why is it? There is absolutely no sympathy with the Negro anywhere. Why this higher taxation negroes than anybody else for life? Is it because they are our friends? Surely not. You would not put an extra burden or weight on your friends' shoulders? There purr be a reason for it. Study the life of the Negro all over this country. In the big cities and even in the rural districts we are charged $1 per cent, move for the necessities of life than any other group of people. They simply means that we are being tried to death, and then whilst we have to maintain high cost of living the poor of support is torn away from us. What is going to happen? If in 20 days our marshal in an ouster of America serves joining the group of people it is something to be alarmed about, but we do not know about it because we do not study each other's condition and each other's life. We are the only people in the world who take no interest in ourselves. What do you care what is happening to your neighbor next door? All you do is you come from the eighth or sixth floor and see somebody on the sidewalk, you laugh and think yourself better than that somebody because misfortune happens to overtake that person instead of you and you go and tell everybody. We are the only race of people who laugh at our misfortunes. Lot me tell you, friends, if we continue this indifference, if we continue this carelessness and recklessness among ourselves, it is only a question of time when we are going to play into the hands of the other fellow, who is smart enough to carry out his plans. I am sorry, as I said, that I am put in the position that I cannot really talk, because, if I have to talk, I block our plans and injure you. I cannot talk, because I have not the wherewithal or the machinery, in my hands to stand the consequences of the talk. If I had the wherewithal and the machinery, then I could talk as much as some of us who never heard of the principle of the Universal Negro Improvement Aocia. tion think they should hear for the purpose of getting the greater number of us together to put over a program that is going to mean our salvation and redemption. But Marvus Garvey may be dead or something, may happen to him, but let me tell you this: except we get together as the Jews do and as the Irish do and as the German-American group does—except we get together as all the other groups are doing in this country for the silent promulgation of our ideas and putting over our program, we are going to die from the system of the silent murder that eliminates everywhere we weaker peoples, who have no sense nor intelligence to protect their own interests by following leadership that springs from among them. Lack of Organization The average Negro ridicules whatsoever there is of Negro effort. Would you know that in America here, because of our lack of organization, although we are twelve or fifteen million people, who could constitute ourselves a great economic power and a great industrial power, that, even in the midst of all that we can do for ourselves, there is, through disorganization among us, the fact that outside of the 51 per cent of higher cost of living, all our earnings are so dissipated that in the space of twenty-four hours everything that we eat, everything that we get into our control, pisses back into the hands of somebody else. When we talk about our big men you will be surprised to know that we have really no big men among us. Do you know that even in Harem as well as in other parts of the United State of America, from my commercial study of conditions here, if a Negro has a house that he has paid ten thousand dollars on and the house is bought for twelve thousand dollars and his last mortgage is due and he has not got it to pay, do you not know that there is not a Negro institution in this country that you can go with ten thousand dollars of interest in that property and buy two thousand dollars to save the ten thousand. "We would have to go to the Jew and gave the whole ten thousand dollars of equity to save the two thousand, and in six months after the conditions would be made so that the equity and everything would pass over to the Jew and the man would lose everything. So that even the big Negro who is supposed to have something has nothing because his economic existence as well as his social existence is so disorganized that everybody takes advantage of him; that is why Negroes have everything that they have. Between the few dollars that you have and the furniture that you have in your home it is only a question of time when you love everything, simply because of disorganization. Do you know that the Jews are so organized as a group of people that when anything affects one there is a whole community of Jews to come to his help and assistance. It is not so with Negroes. If anything happens to a Negro the whole community laughs at you and everybody makes fun at it. Doomed to Economic Death Doomed to Economic Death And so we have entered upon the new year not only in the life of the organization, but in the life of the case. I am warning you and I want you to take certain things for granted that the question of the world and the intention of souls of our pastured best friends is to carry out this silent murder that eliminates, and it is only a question of time who do not do today are going to die tomorrow; those who do not die this week are going to die next week; those who do not die next month are going to die next year; those who do not die in 1920 or 1928 are going to die in 1928, and those who do not die in 1928 are going to die in 1950, and I am not talking about natural causes because naturally all of us must die sooner or later, but I am talking about that silent death prepared for an unguarded race that has not sense enough to live. You have not to die because of any particular phone or disease, you can die from many other causes and the most dangerous and pertinent cause of death among Negroes is the economic cause. Let me explain the economic cause again and let everyone of you understand it according to your intelligence. The Economic Cause The economic cause is this: If you have no job you have no money; if you have no money you have no credit; if you have no credit you have no food; if you have no food you have no means of sustenance; if you have no credit you have no money to lay your head, you are exposed to many evils. Do you know the many people who are exposed to the many evils in Harlem at this hour—who really have no proper place to go at night and have to walk out in the cold longer. then they should try to find a friend and get a place to stay? Do you know what it means for a girl not being able to growl the body because he cannot buy food? Do you open it to disarm, his mind is weak and cannot resist danger. All these over content, the Hope more than anything plan in this country, and yet these who would be your friends keep a standard of living in our neighborhood and in our community, higher than in any other neighborhood and community, and if you doubt me you try to buy anything up here in Harlem, for a dollar and go down below 13th street and see how much that dollar will bring. I will bet you that what you would have to spend a dollar for in Harlem you will get for sixty cents or seventy cents in any of the other districts of New York. The necessities of life are purposely made higher for me and our wages are purposely made lower for the purpose of putting in us that economic condition that will bring about a silent murder and elimination that is planned by the master mind and that is why Garry is looked upon as a bad Negro at this time, and that is why for the protection of the organization and the things that we want to do I cannot my certain things. Source of Your Friends In closing I am appealing to you for this new year to watch your step. The fellow who smiles with you is not such a friend as you think; on the surface it may appear so but when you go beneath the surface you will find that the program of all the world towards the Negro is a "silent murder that eliminates."

SOUTHERN RACE EDITOR'S RACE FAIR OUTLOOK Difficult Situation in Which the Race Found Itself Has Been Worked Out Very Well Up to the Present by Toil, Patience and a Wise Discretion, With Much of Diplomacy From the Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter Any who have stood on the ocean beach in the tidal period of the day have noticed that the pulsing sea sends its wavelets in successive flow and reference. With each shining minute the waters climb a little higher every time, while they lose and less recede in succession. The mark of advancement is washed out with every pulsing beat of the water rising just a little higher. Not otherwise has it been with the Afro-American people. Since their freedom they have had their elbis and flows, but the flows have each year exceeded the elbing. Bedded within this suggestion are racial elements which account for all this. It is not amiss that we now and then make a race survey in interpretation of the favorable change that is coming to our people. This we will now seek briefly to do. For one thing, our race is one of patience. Of course, we sometimes chase when conditions are against us. At such times we give vent to much apasm and passion of an emotional sort, but this is only for the time. After it subsides we are again abel, and active not only in clearing away the debris of wrecked hopes, but in finding a path of progress beyond. Where the Indian employed the tomshawk and scalding knife in revenge, the Negro used the implement of industry and silenced his upbringings and protests in quiet resumption of work. Whatever may be said in detention of Negro racial characterities, the race cannot be successfully accused of a lack of patience and hopefulness, the one supplementing and sustaining the other. In the dark years of servitude there were the thoughtful among the slaves who never lost sight of subsequent freedom. The spirit of most races would have been broken under the strain to which the imported African was subjected; but he never suffered the light of eventual emancipation to go out even in the darkest nights of servitude. The tradition has come down to us from generations, now distant and gone, how the old grandfathers and mothers of that far-off time could be heard praying in the darkness of their slave huts for the liberty the fires of which were kept burning on the altars of their hearts in the depths of slavery. With patience they prayed, and with hope they looked for coming liberty, if not for themselves, for their children and their children's children. Then there came to them in the land of their enforced adoption the enter- ing and supporting influence of the Christian religion, the genius of which is alike adapted to every people. To the African in his American servi- tude, that religion was a mahstay, no people are more susceptible to the Christian religion than the Negro. Its vital touch gave him fresh vision in his enslavement, and fit with enduring hope the future. Furthermore, the Negro is aspiring. Brought to America into contact with the most flexible and progressive civilization of the globe, new visions were created by the societies around him. He was ignorant, but a favored race was intelligent. He found that he was naturally intellectual, and by the exercise of his mastery, he could come to have what the most fortunate of the whites had. To learn how to read and write like the white man came, to possess him as a cosuming fire. Fear of the result of his enlightenment led to the enactment of laws forbidding his education, to any degree whatever, and his longing for knowledge was arrested till his final emancipation. When in the outset of liberation, schools were opened, to the race for the first time, gray-haired sires and spectacles grandmothers focked into the schools along with the children of tender years. With the rudiments gained, the higher heights of learning became alluring, and a half century of freedom finds us ars, and the professions filled with high lights of Negro ability. Then, too, the dominant race had its broad acres, superb banks, banks stores, journals and impaling temblors of worship, while penniless, unlettered and unfamiliar with the ways of the world and unused to the perseverance of freedom, the ex-slave had to how his way even to a starting point, for the attainment of persecutions—like those of the more favored whites. What a history has our people not made since after the mid-century period of the last hundred years! Millions of acres are theirs, banks, manufactories, herds, palatial homes, and beautiful temples of worship—all are ours as a result of the arousement from slumber of sleeping powers, when once the atmosphere of liberty was breathed. Yet the Negro race has had many jackets. In a situation so anomalous as that of the sudden emancipation of a race of four and a half million people of alien parentage and of differing complication, the strangeness of the situation could not have been otherwise. Under no other form of government could a situation like this have been adjusted. In an autocracy or monarchy, under similar conditions, the ex-slave would have been crushed. But in the flexible America, whither had been brought a large contingent of our forefathers, who were trained to mechanical and industrial pursuits, and where was displayed the magnificence of the foremost civilization, which acted like a magical inspiration, the acme of opportunity to the imported African was reached. A disturbance of years simmered down to the better well-being of both races, and viewed today in the vanishing light of the first quarter of a new century, the racial disruptions are behind us, the races each understand one another. Though there still be a degree of racial empathy on the part of some of the whites against the Negro. In the rank and file of the very pleck of the white race in the South, is a stock of friendliness and esteem that is an amending resource of aid, encouragement, inspiration, and stimulation to our people. If it be claimed that the colored race has won its advanced station in life by worth, let that for the time be conceded, but let us never lose sight of the fact that there is another side to the consideration, which is briefly that our white friends were ready with their responsiveness to greet and meet their merit. No matter how worthful we may have been, had there not been on the part of the whites, not only a capability of responsiveness, but a prompt readiness to show it in many, many ways, our excellence would have counted nothing. We should not have gotten anywhere. But as we have risen from the ashes of poverty and ignorance, there have been white hands reached out to us all along the way, and men and women of colored worth have never failed of merited appreciation and aid. Nor is this said in a sycophantic strain. It is veritable observation. It is experience. It is history. It is that to which many of the people can testify. Say, if we please, that we have had a hard race struggle. Admit that unfairness and injustice have often been our lot. Claim that we have often been cuffed and abused. Still, after all the pen of Negro history must write down the fact that it would have been for us far more disastrous, but for the strong, influential and formidable white friends who have never failed us. Neither will they fail us hereafter. In proportion to the worthy progress of the race, whether in rearing great outstudding characters of men and women, these same white friends have applauded, and when needed, have sided. Nor is it going too far to say that their example and influence have taken the edge off much of the antipathy which existed aforetime. That is to say, that there are those who are now our friends among the whites, who were not so in other years. The credit is partly ours, but by no means altogether. Thus we have come to the gateway of the first quarter of the new century. Looking backward, there is much that shocks, but, after all our people have been schooled in adversity, and have not been found winnable. Today from the summit of the first twenty-five years of the present century, we are encompassed by legions of our own valiant manhood and womanhood; we have our own affairs in our hands, the machinery of which is running smoothly; and while much yet remains to be done, our successes in the past serve as a guarantee. If only our people be true to themselves, to their country, and to God. The old saying, "God help those who help themselves," is true, but His help is administered through men and methods. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1928 THE STRANGE ADVENTURE OF A COLLEGE STUDENT Written for the Nobro World By AUICE K. DE VANE It was not quite .7.90. Mine Young, the youthful caretaker at "Lone Oak," had bunched her young charges, Max a visitor, and Ellen, the cook's daughter. They were seated in a circle upon the warm earth, canopied, as it were, by the foliage of a group of towering elms and two large apple trees, the ancient branches of which met in mid-air and mingled, thus forming between the sunny side of the farmhouse Kitchen and the spacious outbuildings of this miniature ranch of Eastern Pennsylvania, a shady refuge for Ellen upon a hot summer's day, after dinner and dishes were done, and in the evening a favorite spot for the daily socials in which the week-ends and their young chapermen engaged each evening before retiring. There for one hour before nexttime they would sit and patch through the leafy bower the starry heavens. Sometimes Miss Young would point out to these interested girls and boys of Philadelphia's best choice, district the Great Bear and the North Star. Sometimes she told them how the maid had gone a-nilking, and had stumbled and spilled her milk in the hooves. Then there was the dipper and several other lesser and greater characters of Elysian beauty. Often the group would vie with their chaperon and each other in being first to discover the evening star. Then the lucky one would cry out, "I spied it first," and repeat, after first making a wish, the little rhyme that makes all wishes come true. Growing weary of this, the girls and boys would sometimes lift their young voices skyward, causing the evening air to vibrate with the music of their songs. Toucht some one called for a story. "Yes, yes, a story!" The group was unanimous in its desire for a story. Although they had reached the age of adolescence these children had not lost their relish for fairy tales. "Who will be the first?" Miss Young spoke up, always willing to acquiesce whenever discretion required. "I will," said Max, whom the children called "Miss Young's shadow." He was forever at her heels, to help, when she did not need help, to climb over Mr. Cheneyne's fence, to recover the handkerchief which she preferred regaining herself, and when they played four hundred he always had to hide with Miss Young. Now he was sitting by her. Of course, he was eighteen, but nobody cared for that. He need not be always hanging after her, even if he were. The tale Max told was weird and spooky. It made chills creep up and down a fellow's spine. No one cared for it. When the story ended one could imagine he saw old Mr. Cloud stalking, unseen in the shadows and perhaps taking another look at that apple tree which was minus the limb from which he is said to have swung to his self-imposed death, a state infinitely more preferable, than life with a nagging spouse who had seen better days. "Now, we'll all be scared to go to bed." Miss Young broke the silence which followed Max's story in an overly exaggerated tone of fear with a suddenness that caused the entire bunch to start, but it was a relief. "The next is mine," continued the young woman, and she began very much as a general addresses his soldiers. "Perhaps you will have doubts, my friends, but my story is nevertheless true. It happened during the Christmas holidays and to none other than my brother. I shall relate it to you as it was told to me. So here goes. Attention! Everybody:!" "The boys and girls sit at attention, eager to hear the story. "Vacation out at Pen did not begin until noon Christmas Eve. I had several matters which I had hoped to adjust before getting my train for home, chiefest among which was a proposition received from the G. H. W. Land and Improvement Company for surveying certain tractors of land in south Jersey. The office of this firm is, you remember, on South Fifteenth street, very near the station, so I made it my last call. I had been in consultation with the head of this firm for a few minutes only when a messenger boy entered, Handing me a card, he remarked: "Lady is in spirit of the building. Wishes to speak with you. Says she will wait below." While the boy was talking I had carefully examined the card. It bore a name absolutely foreign to me and an address on North Broad street, Philadelphia, a locality with which I was not familiar. "Please tell the lady that I fear she has erred as to my idiosyncrasy; that I cannot recall ever having seen her name before. I am very busy at present and am leaving town immediately. Kindly return the card." Naturally I thought her some hold adventures. "All right, thank you," I answered curtly. "Perhaps she does know me or some of my folks. I shall be down immediately I'm through." Then I gave him a quarter, and he made a final departure. Mr. Harrison looked at me quisically, but had no explanation to offer, for I was as puzzled as he. Business over, I quickly ran down the steps, thinking how I must hurry to get the 8:15. It was then 7:48. I knew well that the family would wait dinner for me, but whom should I meet at the foot of the stairs or a liveried, chauffeur? "Mr. Young?" he inquired, touching his cap. "Yes," I responded. "This way, please." The chauffeur led me to a luxurious car, parked at the curb a short distance from the door of the Harrison building. He turned the handle and there sat, not the hold adventures of my imagination, but what do you think? A lovely, tender girl of manure age. She was wrapped in one of those big grayshaw-looking curtains like the one. I see down town in Wanamaker's windows. Her eyes were sparkling and dancing as she extended a soft hand in greeting. "How do you do, Mr. Young?" she said. "Stop right in. I hesitated. Or shall I ask James to assist you?" At this both laughed and she revealed a beautiful mouth of lovely white teeth. I immediately capitulated. I caught the spirit of the girl and of the occasion, yet my serpentine lingered. Still hesitating, I bented. "Heally, Miss Lee, there must be some mistake." "Oh, no," she interrupted sweetly. I know perfectly what you are trying to say. "Are you not Luther King, senior State university?" "Yes," I answered, somewhat surreal. "Are your two sisters not Marjorie and Ann? Did you not play in the recent football game?" "They are, and yet." "Home, James." She spoke mildly to the chauffeur. To my utter surprise I found myself rolling up Broad street, settled comfortably by this sweet young thing who was chatting away about the lovely Christmas show, about the last basketball game in which I played forward; from that to Zane Grey's latest book, which we both agreed was his best. Before I realized just how rashly I was conducting myself the girl was saying: "Here we are at home." She looked very happy and very pretty. I had felt a strange thrill and was beginning to dream dreams when I came to myself. "Perhaps this is one of Marjorie's friends and they are giving me a surprise," I said to myself. The young lady carried me up some large boots, stone steps and into a most simplistic drawing room, decorated for the Christmas festivities. She went immediately up the blood stairs after giving the house man instructions concerning my comfort and promising to be gone only a few moments. "All the plot thickens," I said, almost audibly. "I wonder what those rascales are up to now?" But before I could reach a conclusion in walked a tall, venerable looking old gentleman, followed by a well preserved woman of middle age, obviously the girl's mother. I rose to greet them, but neither offered any recognition other than a chilly nod and a curt "good evening." "What brings you here, young man? the old gentleman asked, not a little grieved. I was still standing and every whit dignity. "I came here with a young woman whom I supposed your daughter." I replied. Then I calmly related to them the whole story, to which both listened attentively, thought still standing side by side in the center of the floor. "This may be very true" responded the old gentleman. "I am sorry, sir, but we cannot allow you to remain." For the first time since I left the office I thought of my train and glanced at my watch. It was ten after eight. Only five minutes before it would be leaving. "Our daughter," he continued, "had a long illness which left her with a maid for picking up strangers from the streets, bringing them to the house. With this piece of information having been duly delivered both turned and left the room, leaving me standing in the center of the floor. A very uncomfortable man, I made my way to the hall, where, unassisted, I found my overcoat. Then a servant appeared. Just as I finished pulling on my coat the young s调者 came tripping down the stairs of the brilliantly lighted dwelling. "Oh, whither, whither? she called gaily. Did I keep you waiting too long?" "I'm on my way home," I answered grudely. "Please don't go," she plead, with a hand resting on my arm, "Do remain with me." "Seeing my determination, she quickly placed herself between me and my hat. A subtle change had taken place. She was no longer the sweet girl, but a resolute woman, fighting to dismuse me from getting my hat. The hall was now empty, with the exception of this slightly struggling young woman and myself, but I was painting a little space and almost had my prize. Quickly she withdrew from her bohemia a small glittering dagger, ragged it in midair and brought it swiftly descending toward my breast. My time had come. I lingered toward her with one In your BOTTOM run-down, oak tired, tilted In your BLOOD pain, "poisoned," this water? In your BONE-MARROW drying up?

People Were Not Simites, but Sumerians—Imposing Colonnade of Brick-Pillars Uncovered in Mesopotamia—Record of Palace Slaves From the New York World OXFORD: England.—The Oxford and Elysian Museum expedition to Babylon, which returned from Babylon in April, has since been engaged on research work in connection with its discoveries, has succeeded. Its director believes, in discovering architectural monuments to human civilization older than any previously known, either in Egypt or Mesopotamia. It has succeeded in unearthing eight miles from Babylon, the city of Kish, seat of the first Kings of Babylon, and diving into income data validity. The discovery is the more pointless because the city itself, with its great tolerance, has not been built over, and the debris which has accumulated around it has acted as the guardian of its treasures. The remains, which include the oldest gateway in the world and the only great series of brick-built pillars ever found in Mesopotamia, stands several feet above the original ground level when excavated. Some 300 natives served the excavators as assistants. Are Placed at 5000 B. C. The founding of Kish was dated by the divinities to what would amount to 34000 R. C., and although they greatly favored probability, trust, London, the direct paths it was for back to 3000 or 6000 R. C., whether or not it was as its initiality to be believed, the necessity to be kept after the great flood which swept away everything, it was certainly the oldest of any Babylon city known to modern archeology. The records found claim a dynasty of twenty-three Kings whose reigns ended up no less than 2400, some of them ruling as long as 1200 years. Great as was the interest of the city, the chief discoveries were made in and about the great palace, where the Kings lived and from which they meted our business. It was built of very small buildings, but shaped and with convex top, and these were perfectly preserved not only in the great wall of the palace but in the magnificent stairway which led from the great courtyard and was flanked by a wall built into doors. Before the throne room, running east and west, was an imposing colonnade of brick pillars, the only one of its kind ever found in Mesopotamia, and forming the front of the court where the disputes of the day were judged by the King as his old men. Inside the throne room were many exemplary worked plaques, measuring uniformly three feet by two, and placed round the room to form a decorative frieze, in which were seen the successful expeditions of the Kings against other cities. Old Questions Settled So skillful was the sculpture in those that many points hitherto left to conjecture were settled, as for example belonging to the Sumerian or round the fact that the people of Kish and the captives, from foreign cities both headed race, and not to the Semitic race. Both their sculptures and their upper lips were shaved, milks those of the Semites, and the axis of the eye was outward and downward, not horizontally, as in the Semites and modern Eurasians. Others of the plaques were sculptured into magnificent reliefs depicting the return of the cattle from the fields to the milking yards and the processes of agriculture. The earliest piece of human writing ever discovered, the director believes, was found near the throne itself. It was a perfect example of pictograph work, in which the idea of the hegai or a hand or anything else was represented by a small but wonderfully clear drawing of it. The purport of this example was a list of slaves in the palace, with some notes by the scribes indicating those who were in service and those who were absent. arm upraised to ward off the blow and ham! I fell on the floor, am awake from that awful dream. "Now, come, kidden--It's time for bed," said Miss Young. BLOOD RED MEDICINE TONIC the most effective medicine for any illness! Have doing!

AN IMAGINARY CHURCH THAT DOES NOT EXIST To the Editor of the Negro World: The rock upon which the tru- church is founded is not to be found in Rome nor in the realm of fam- ily, but in the power of faith. It is the word of wisdom from which you should learn, and in that word you will find neither statuary nor paintings, but only the Universal Spiritual. If faith is preached to you, it is done for the purpose of imploring it into your heart where it may take root and become manifest to you. But if your faith is not in your soul, but in forms and ceremonies, and if you cling to these forms, you may know that your soul has not true spiritual understanding, because although the forms and the ceremonies may cause you to weep and to sigh, this sighing and weeping is worthless because your sentiment come from these images, and to those images will it return. All things return imply to the place from whence they took their origin, and as these things are perishable the sentiments which they exscribe will perish with them. The true soul deserves faith in self without ceremonies. If you don't require the ceremonies, they will be unless in matters of faith as well as in the art of God. I do not say that images should not be magic, and that the suffering of Jesus should not be represented in pictures. Such things are good to move the mind of man to the practice of piety, virtue and generation, and to those who are unable to read they are very useful and better than many a sermon. I am not speaking against the use of things, but at its most. Such things are useful if we know their true meaning and understand their effects. The St. James's Gospel Spirits are in spirit life and not in the Wood out of which an image is created. Each man is hummed to its own God. I contend our old fathers because they wrote for the body and not for the soul; they wrote poetry but not spiritual traits; they spoke flatteries instead of telling the truth; they were teachers of fashion and uses, not teachers of eternal life. The more limitation of the personal usages of the Saints leads to nothing but to damnation. The wearing of a black coat or the possession of a plaid of paper signed by some human gentility does not make a man inveterate. There are divinies who act wisely because wisdom is God. A clergyman should be a spiritual guide for others, and a true shepherd, but how can a man be a spiritual guide if he merely talks about spiritual things and know himself nothing about it? It may be said the personal behavior of a clergyman does not affect the truth of what he teaches, but a clergyman who does not rightly does not possess the truth and can therefore not teach it. For when Christ sent out his Twelve Apostles he told them, "The precepts and teachings he lead, the clearness the leaders, raise the dead, ease out of devil's hands we have received freely gave." But, in spite of all the true church is raising in our land Africa, for the Africa already recognizes his autonomous position and desires a change. The brighter day is rising upon Africa. Already I seem to see her emam dissolved, her desert plains red with harvest, her Abyssina and her Zulukand the seats of science and religion, reflecting the glory of the rising sun from the spires of their churches and universities, her Congo and her Gambia whitened with commerce, her crowded cities sending forth the hum of business, and all her sons employed in advancing the victories of peace greater and more abiding than the spoils of war. This is an age for us to push forward into the regeneration of Africa, which means the entrance into a new life. But America Is Such and Fact Can't Be Sneezed Out by Saying There Is No Such Charles W. Eliot, formerly president of Harvard, says there is no "melting pot." Jews and Irish, says he, do not lose their racial identity or become "immilated." He opposes "racial intermarriage." And that is an important as it is magnificent. If Eliot would be much surprised if an angel of the Lord could appear to dissect out of his brain and blood all the different kinds of human beings of whom he is made up. He would find within himself many races, possibly even Mongolian blood. That blood spread through Europe, considerably hundreds of years ago, when many Mongolian slaves were brought back to Venice by travelers in the wars. Many races dwell under each skull. America fascinated people there is no absolutely PUKI strain. The old racial characteristics crop out. You may see a British peasant with a head plainly of Basque origin, brought to England a thousand years before William the Conqueror started to conquer England. The father of the late August Benment was a Jew. His mother was the daughter of Commodore Perry. He became president of the Jockey Club, isn't that "assimilation"? Nature intends to have in the long run only one kind of human being on earth and the "melting pot" is at work always. EDUCATING OUR GIRLS AND NEGLECTING OUR BOYS From the Star of Zion For many years in our high schools and colleges it has been distinctly notifiable that the girls greatly outnumber the boys. Whether parents are more interested in the education of their girls or whether for economic or other reasons the boys are taken out of school or leave it of their own volition, the fact remains that the girls who complete a high school education far outnumber the boys, who grow up in comparative innocence. When the girl graduates she can find no competence except with her inferior in intellectual requirements. The boys are not only in interior intellectual acquaintments but also in moral attainments, morals and vision. Their notions of life and what it means are crude and vulgar. They are accomplished only in the bedevilled witchers of the dance, card-playing, the latest jazz and knowledge of the latest musical movie and the last prize fight. These dwarfs, in moral culture and moral attributions are to become the fathers of the future. Women do not recreate men after marriage; they cannot. If the husband can not reach the eminence of the wife he does her down to his ungraceful level, and thus dishonored she becomes the timid and servile mother of his children, who are born into the world under a severe handgrip. Vigorous efforts must be made therefore, to save the boys if we are to save the womanhood of the race. Let us by all means educate the boys as fully, as thoroughly as we educate the girls. If we are to transmit to posterior a healthy and vigorous heritage. TEN DAYS FREE Haddon-Bowen Evening School Proportion for separate, college classes and Cooper Union communities.

Many of these could be made good American citizens and should be slapped in every possible way, while others are here to get all they can from our government and still give their allegiance to foreign countries. "They enjoy our marvelous opportunities, live on pennies and send back to relatives in the Old World their profits, amounting last year to more than $400,000,000. There are aliens in the United States who enjoy the protection of our flag and yet, if they could, would gladly destroy it. "The immediate thing to do is to provide for alien registration which will locate and help the worthy and facilitate deporting the undesirable. Since my return from Europe, where I studied immigration conditions, I have spoken on this question of registration in 21 States, and I know the American people believe in this measure." The bill divides the nation into registration districts, each, so far as practicable, to contain a post office or branch post station, and the alien is required to register within the district in which he lives or in the nearest convenient district. Registration in the main would be conducted by post offices and a fee of $10 would be paid by each adult alien for the first registration and $5 for each subsequent registration or renewal. Should an alien permanently move from the district in which he registered he would be required to report that fact to the post office of his district and within two days after his arrival in the new district report to the post office of that district. In this way the government would at all times have a complete record of the name, age, place of residence and personal description of every alien. Certificates of identification would be issued to all aliens immediately on registration. The alien would be required to exhibit this certificate on demand of any agent of the departments of Justice or Labor or of any police officer. Should an alien become naturalized or depart from the United States he would be required to surrender the certificate for conscription. The bill also imposes on hotel and boarding house keepers the duty of reporting to the proper authorities the names of all alien patrons and the time of their arrival. The names of all alien employees must likewise be reported. The Secretary of Labor and the Postmaster General would have authority to make all regulations necessary for the enforcement of the act. Suitable penalties are provided and $500,000 is provided for administrative expenses. The fees collected under the act would go to the Treasury. PAYING ONE'S DEBTS IS A A MATTER OF BREEDING - From The Tampa Bulletin From The Tampa Bulletin The will to pay is hereditary, just as red hair or buck teeth. It is a common fallacy that a man pays his debts because he has money. This is not necessarily true. On the contrary, the matter of paying has only a remote relation to money. On the one hand, are your friends with abundance of money, who can not be cajoled, threatened, beaten or gassed into paying the most ordinary debt. On the other hand, the poor fellow without a visible dollar—you know him—who is Johnny on the Invoice. Money has little to do with either case. It is the breed of the man. The man who pays is the man who thinks in advance. He never flies a roll; he does not drive a car and carry a mortgage at the same time; he does not hang up the butcher, or the grocer, for food that he can not afford to eat; he never ligats the fire without wondering where the coal man get off. He never throws the bull, nor pitches the bull, nor gives notes nor writes checks dated tomorrow, but when the bills come in he is there with the coin of the realm, God bless him. Sometimes he feels sore at the rest of us. He does not see that he gets on any better than the follow who skins as he goes. Still he goes on and, pays and simply because it is in the breed. And, after all, the world does think a lot of his breed. The man who pays is the bulwark of society. He is the balance, wheel of civilization. He is the mainspring of commerce. Business blesses him and he has honor among men for all time. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925 See your druggist for a package today.

A substantial gathering of prominent citizens in all walks of life occupied every available seat in the hall of the Congress when Speaker Bailey called the meeting to order. The exercises began with invocation by Rev J. W. White. Mr. Cleveland G. Allon, of the Harlem Home News, read a synopsis of the Emancipation Proclamation, and Mr. James E. Linton, one of our successful Harlem real estate dealers, then read a brief but highly interesting history of Equity Congress. Every one present was thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the meeting, and brilliant and instructive addresses were made by Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church; Mr. Cleveland G. Allen, Rev. Marshall Shepard and Mr. De Aney, Madam M. Wyman Middleton favored with a delightful sale, and the meeting was treated to further most profound and entertaining addresses by Prof. Richard H. Harson, Rev. De John, Dr. Jutta P. H. Coleman, and Rev. Dr. Charles D. Martin. It was with much regreat that the meeting received a letter from Hon. James Welton Johnson, stating his inability to be present because of a prior engagement. Master of Ceremonies, Lewis E. Toppin and Madame R. Dorsett, pianist, deserve great praise for their most excellent work, and the sincere thanks of the congress is extended to them both. It is the intention of the congress to make these Emancipation Day celebrations a permanent feature of its work, and the exercises will be bigger, better and productive of more far-reaching results from year to year, without question. In closing, Speaker Bailey thanked most heavily all who had so willingly lent their efforts to make the celebration a success. He also outlined that the congress is now waging a fight to secure the restatement of the colored officers recently, discharged from the Fifteenth Infantry, and asked that all present hear this in mind and bring or send their friends to the regular meetings each Sunday afternoon, so that the strongest possible front might be put on in this effort. Speaker Bailey also explained that the congress has formed a women's auxiliary to school and train the women of our race in the use of the ballot and the meaning of it. There are already some fifty members in the school and it is believed that our women in the next election will in consequence of this he trained to vote in larger numbers and more intelligently than ever before. The congress invites all women of our race who are interested to attend this school. Full information can be had at any regular session of the congress, these sessions being held each Sunday afternoon at Ellis Hall, 162 West 123rd street, second floor front, between a and 132rd clock.

Dec. 21—Tonight at the Cosmopolitan Community Centre of which Rey, Harvey is pastor, a scene was enacted that further proves the wisdom and good judgment of women of our race and their ever growing anxiety and determination to earn respectable, dignified and independent living for themselves. In the presence of a large audience, who braved a bleak and wintry night, several women received certificates of proficiency and diplomas of graduation in Madam C. J. Walker's System of Beauty Culture. It was an impressive occasion to see these women each fittingly dressed, with faces set toward victory, eyes gleaming with new vision and expressionsrought with faith in a new day for themselves. Attorney Robert Lee Brokenburr, assistant member of the Walker Company, with "Listeners and Leaners" as his subject, spoke brilliantly and fired these new business women and their friends and well YOUNG BLOOD FEEL 10 TO 30 YEARS YOUNGER If your meals don't taste good, or you don't sleep well, you are losing your pep.

Start in right now to get rid of the poison and become strong and healthy. From Bulgarian Herb Teo should make you feel 10 to 30 years younger. On Monday, January 5, and matinees and evening every afternoon, and evening thereafter during the week, the Lafayette Theatre will offer for the amusement of its patrons, A. H. Woods' famous Broadway success, the "Deni-Virgin," Avery Hopwood's most plethoraque and lurid description in three doses of the gay life of Hollywood, Cal. For the benefit of those who may not know just what the name of Hollywood is synonymous of it might be well to say that it is the nieces of of those thousands of motion picture pilgrims who aspire to cinematic fame, and while serving their probationary terms "extras" and their subsequent ascension of the ladder of success, devote their moments of lieure, which are usually nocturnal, in their own exclusive form of diversion. That was Mr. Hopwood's theme in "The Deni-Virgin." It is the story of two young people who were materialized on their wedding night and were later brought together to play the leading parts of sweethearts in the same picture about to be filmed. It can easily be seen, the embarrassing situation for the young people and what endless opportunity was afforded the versatile author in preparing his play. It is just one smile, laugh or scream from start to finish, and, incident to the story and very properly a part of it, are the several specialties that are introduced. The very subject is sufficient to reveal the fact that the dialogue and situations are filled to the brim with bright, amusing, racy matter. All of which are calculated to stir one's heart action to the limit with thrill and excitement. "The Demi Virgin" will be presented during this engagement by a cast of colored, artists who have given great satisfaction in their really clever impersonations of the various parts during the present season in a number of the large cities. The cast has been selected with extreme care and the result has proven ample reward. Among the members of this talented company are Evelyn Mason, Rudolph Grey, Alonzo Fenderson, Daisy Pizarro, Alfred Chester, Marion Taylor, Babie Green, Rabette Jackson and the Princess Helena. wishers in the audience with new determination to live lives of service and worthiness. Dramatic readings were given. Some of Chicago's musical talent rendered numbers and with words of cheer from Mesdames A. C. Burnette and Marjorie Joyner, national organizers of the Walker Company, these new exponents of beauty went forth to earn their places in the sun. Kicking Natives and Pulling Their Ears Lawful An astounding decision has been given by the sub-divisional magistrate at Tapiore, India, according to which to kill native, and to pull their ears as not a punishable offense, but "even bench-tail." The complaint was filed, according to the Indian Press, by the stall-keeper of Higginsbain's Rigalage Store against the district medical officer of the line, a European. Evidence was given showing that the European pulled him by the car and kicked him while he was sitting on the ground before the stall. The sub-division magistrate, while conceding that the acts complained of were true, as they were admitted even by the accused, and holding that the complaint was not a false one, dismised the complaint on the ground that the action of the European was of a harmless and even benemical nature, as it was necessary to rouse the stall-keeper from a lethargic state into one of activity. * Pulling at the car, according to the magistrate, was to be considered as handling the car in a friendly way, and kicking was merely a gesture with the leg, intended to make the stall-keeper stand up. The magistrate observed that kicks as such were never aimed, at or given in the home that they were given to dishonor a man, and hence discharged the accused. Consequently he felt himself unable to grant the compensation demanded. SAVE A LIFE To the Editor of The Negro World: As an admirer of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council and one who has followed the functions of it as closely as any member, there are a few things I would like to express in consequence of my admiration. As far as I have learned, this infant society is not yet three years old, and if this is true, I am yet to see any mother society doing so much philanthropic work for the general good of Virgin Islanders. During the past month it has shipped nearly $1,000 worth of foodstuffs to the Virgin Islands' poorest people. Shipped a garmenta costing nearly $2,000 to the neediest folks of the Virgin Islands. Served $200 worth of foodstuff to one hundred poor people in New York City. Over five hundred children met Christmas and each were served with refreshments and a beautiful Christmas present. In the same evening, from far and wide, hundreds of Virgin Islanders gathered in family reunions and were given a wonderful time. After everything was done by the Council, financial and otherwise, a noble soul links with the desire to lift all the people of the Virgin Islands here and at home out of the Slough or Despond into which they are at present slinking. This noble soul is Casper Holstein, a native of St. Croix. Without the financial and educational backing of this man, the Council, which unlucky most West Indian societies, is exempted from dues and assessments, could hardly have exited and could not have carried out a successful program. During this drive, Mr. Holstein financed thousands of dollars from his own resources. "The cause that needs assistance." The officers and members of this society are the most interested group of workers I have ever seen. Truly do they stand as examples of a fine type of the production of "the garden of the Antilles." That alone should convince the United States Government that when we ask for a more systematic form of government we are conscious of what we are asking. At present these people are pooling their money into the society with the object of opening up enterprises in the island that will give employment to almost any kind of general vocation in order that the beauty, hilarity and prosperity that were joined as "man and wife" with the islands but is suing for divorce since the transfer, may be restored. Will this induce Uncle Sam to rid his of the naval government in order that those who want to live and die in the land that gave them birth may do so in peace? I can assure any one that the Council is striving to lift Uncle Sam's iron heels off the heads of his unfortunate adopted children. If you doubt it, ask a representative of the people, a Colonial Council man, or a naval officer. They are the Hercules. To raise these hoops, stay under them five minutes and then if you are able to get up, tell us your experience. While standing on the threshold of a new year I wish President Holstein a whole-hearted Happy New Year. And God grant him health that he may be able to accomplish his daily task; wealth, to be of continued service to his fellow-men, and happiness to smile away the cares and worries of the world; and if my wishes would only come from I also wish that every effort of his, both spiritual and temporal, may be crowned with success. To the good officers and members I extend a similar wish, and may add that I hope the day may dawn when they can go back to their beloved home and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Long live the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, its philanthropic President, its noble officers and worthy members. AN OBSERVER. MADRID, Dec. 28.—A political military body, composed of natives and Spanish military chiefs, is to govern the Spanish zone in Morocco, according to the Spanish newspapers, which describe the reorganization of Spanish Morocco now in progress. The administration will be patterned after the government of French Morocco. The Khalifa will rule, but will be amenable to the suggestions of the Spanish commander-in-chief. Rebellious tribes will be isolated from friendly tribes and their pacification forced by an economic blockade, reinforced by arms, cannon and airplanes, making it impossible for unruly natives to deal with tribesmen who have submitted to the Spaniards. The blockade will be lifted only after the rebels deliver their arms and submit to the rule of the Khalifa. DR. J. P. BALEY 101 West 141st Street REGISTERED CHRONOPOST NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 THE DEMI-VIRGIN TWO YEARS ON BROADWAY TO CAPACITY BUSINESS A Startling Revelation of the Midnight Gayety of Hollywood's Real Life The National Association of College Women was formed under the direction of the College Alumnum Club of Washington, D. C. in April, 1882. Through the efforts of its president, Mist Louy D. Slowa, and its sectional directors, Mrs. Lillian Alexander of New York city, Miss Anne E. Crestwhite of St. Louis, Mrs. Robertson, Cuthbert of Chicago, and Misa Sadie Daniel of Washington, it is now engaged in a very extensive program of organizing college alumnum clubs in various sections of the country. Up to this time four new local organizations have been perfected. In February, 1923, the Chicago branch was formed, with Mrs. Robertson Cuibert as president. Later, in May, 1924, the college alumnae of Delaware, at the call, of Mrs. Helen Crossley, formed a State organization, with Mrs. Crossley as president. On October 27 the president of the national association, Mrs Slowe, and the sectional director of the East, Mrs. Alexander, organized a New York branch, consisting of twenty-five members. Miss Mabel Bydil of the local New York Y. W. C. A. was chosen temporary president of this organization and Miss Margaret Smith temporary secretary. Again, on November 22, a club consisting of more than thirty members was formed in Baltimore Mrs. Vitalian Cook is the temporary president; Mrs. Erna Davis, vice-president; Mrs. Dimitroff Davis, secretary; Other clubs will be formed soon, all designed to promote a closer union among college women. ```markdown ``` This 24-inch neckclace, beautiful color, graduated, indestructible, rhinstone clasp, with gift box, for Only $2.58.

Address Suite 10 170 W. 141st Street NEW YORK Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight, and are soon forgotten, are not sold by the manufacturer, that they did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an end product, and is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent drugstreet says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers specify. No other kidney remedy has so large a salve." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root in due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, NY 10501. You may then receive the mention this paper.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM A GRAND OLD WORKER WHO TALKS VERY YOUNG Praises the Work of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association—Looking Ahead To the Editor of The Negro World: From my honest conviction I very much believe that the U. N. L. A. I. blessed with some of the greatest men of the race, some of whom it has been my pleasure to know of for many years. Some have passed to the great beyond. I have watched the editor of The Negro World since the days of his connection with the New York Freeman. I know from actual experience that T. Thomas Fortune is a man with honest convictions. And there was one of his old associates, Bruce Grit, who has crossed the mystic waters, but he still lives in our memory as a power in our race. I love to speak and think of such men, who are giving their lives for the LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seveny-six-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, desacued glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be overcome by the every of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and be able to live often in a days' time, with gandum formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This statement is "the youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'bost vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four City Mo. Today I am 66, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment, I felt I was an old, 'worn-out' man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable island restoration and continues permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, you are looking in 'vigor' and the 'vital force of youth' we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.88 on 10 days' free trial. If the bottle is not more than pleased in every way, it costs you nothing. Send no money—just your name and address to F. L. Carlin 606 Baltimore Blge., Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be shared. Use it according to the simple directions. If at the end of the 10-day you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money will be refunded with question. This offer is fully gun anted to write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial. Every Man Who Has Lost Force of You Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery Years Should Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored The difficulty encountered by the medical work has been to find the right invigorator for the shades.

Five years of reading and careful study of the U. N. I. A. has given us quite a little experi- ence. Now, with due respect for most of our lives, Journally, not all, I. I think The Negro World is our greatest race paper. Great men have honest hearts, and I know that our great editors will not speak or think lightly of this. The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is so great find far-reaching that many of the race have no conception of its importance. We can easily understand on high orders of the day because they care for the sick andbury the dead, that is if one happens to do while in good standing. We can understand why the $100,000 churches—oh well, I love the church, too, and am not only a member of the church for fifty years, but a Christian, which no one has disallowed to yet. But I am tired of this thing. "You may have all this world, but give me Jesus." Now, I have experienced the things, that I speak of, for I am certainly over fifty years of age. What we need today as well as in the future are more ships and fewer high-powered churches, and to worship tied and not the house. We need more great leaders; mark the great, for it means much. We have enough of false-hearted leaders. When I say great, I mean such men as our own Marcus Garvey. May God bless Marcus Garvey and all of his associates; may they live long and be blessed with health and strength to do more good work for the race and the redemption of Africa. One more thought: May God send His blessing upon Mrs Garvey and her associates in their work, especially for the women of the race. W. T. JOHNSON. New Bern, N. C. To the Fathers of The Near World To the Editor of The Negro World Please allow me space in your valuable journal to announce the death of our beloved brother, and friend, Luther Dixon, a member of the New York Division of the U. N. L. A. On the night of December 8 & Mr. Dixon, who was working at Central Velasco fell from the pan floor to the crystallizer floor, and died immediately after. He was taken to Central Moron Pla, for burial, followed by 500 persons. The funeral ceremonies were performed by Messie, G. J. Molin and Stewart, of the Cloe de Avila and Moron division, respectively. Mr. Dick O'Neal, foreman of the department, was in charge of the whole affair. The workers of the mill stopped working for a day in respect to the deceased. Mr. Dixon was a native of Jamaica. B. W. L. and a faithful and loyal member of the New York Division of the U. N. L. A.

Spirit of the Christmas To the Editor of The Negro World: Today the Negroes throughout the entire world are celebrating the Christmas season in their collective modes and customs. I would like to see the taken in the privacy of the home. It was necessary of the Atlas Laboratories, who, after careful study, gave great faith in its restorative power that they had arranged to moke it available to all. The laboratory is well equipped with Vim-Eta and is said to produce almost immediate results, first indications being immediate sleep and return of youthful vigor. The results obtained by scientific tests were so convincing that the laboratory ranged for everyone interested in long life, youthful vigor, and health to test it without having to pay for the money.

Man was envisioned by darkness morality and spiritually. For an example just imagine a society without order, love and faith in each other. Without an ideal such was the state and condition of men over two thousand years ago. It is notorious consolation that Jesus came into the world to light to lighten the Jesus and to show us the way of mercy life everlasting. I hope as each of us is enjoying himself in his different walk and condition of life he may take a more humane consideration of this thought. "What does 'Christmas mean to me'?" Come, let us adduce him with the spirit of love, faith and confidence. It is only through such examples that the gigantic program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can be successfully carried out. E. F. EHMAN. 129 Caledonia avenue, Rochester, N.Y. Buying Sugar Lands Would Be a Good Undertaking To the Editor of the Negro World. Allow me space to express my opinion to A. Barnes of Cuba, who desires to purchase sugar land in Cuba. The proposal is a very good one. You are going to it in the right way. You must first understand the laws of Cuba and be able to speak the language fluently. As fully understand the situation of Cuba by living there for eight years in the Oriente, I would suggest that before going into such an industry consult a good lawyer that you can get your property properly made out, that after your crop comes to perfection you will not be disturbed by the so-called white men of Cuba.

The Negro Has Held Many Very Responsible Offices To the Editor of The Negro World Kandy allow me write a critical con- cerning the qualification of some Negroes to hold government positions he may try to insult about the Hon. Marcus Griess and several others and the Walter L. Cohen affair at New Oregon. I asked him if he ever read The Negro World, and he said he had not, but had read about it in Negro and whitewriters. Then I requested him to keep his mouth closed minutes and listen to me. I asked him if he ever personally know me ever read about W. F. Vernon, J. W. Lewis and J. C. Napier registeres treasury; W. H.

Ethiopian Association Sends Fraternal Greetings To the Editor of The Negro World: "We the officers and members of the Ethiopian Missionary Christian Association of the World, send greetings to our sister organization, the U. N. I. A. and to all its officers and members. We hope to work untidily in the coming year from our hearts for the good of the Ethiopian Race, and the freedom of Africa. Our service on Nxmas day was a grand success. Our president, General Rev. T. C. Glashen, D.D., took as his subject for the day, "Peace on Earth." MRS. A. LYNCH Secretary. To the Editor of The Negro World: Allow me space in your most precious columns to express myself about this wonderful movement. I am a charter member of White Castle Division, No. 413, and I say like the old sisters in church, I have gone to far now to turn back. If all the Negroes would come together and put their shoulders to the wheel we would see in the near future the colors of the Red, Black and Green waving in the breeze over the hill tops of Africa. May God bless Marcus Garvey and save our motherland, Africa. DON'T BE Unlucky! In the Great Depression, many people were forced to work in the fields and on the streets. They were often forced to work long hours without pay. This made them very unhappy and led to many of them losing their jobs. How to Make Others Lose You WHAT WOMEN CAN DO WITH BALLOT PROPERLY USED position whatever to such a bill and still more remarkable, looking backwards, to reflect on how, right up to comparatively recent times, the ownership of property has been associated with the privilege of voting, giving to the landlord with property distributed over the country a great political power by means of a large number of votes. Happily, these days are past, and I only refer to them to illustrate how we move—what an extraordinary length of time we tolerated such an unjust state of affairs. It simply means that for ages the English people were ruled by class privilege that our government has never been representative of the wishes of the majority of the adult population. And is it now? What of three or more cornered fights? How often do we see a candidate elected on a minority vote? Then as the law stands at present, women are not considered capable of voting before they are 20; and even then, there is that altogether absurd arrangement by which the possession of a husband, or two rooms, constitute their right to a vote? How can marriage or property have anything to do with the question? Surely every man and woman should have a voice in the making of the laws by which they have to abide, and only when some satisfactory means has been found of overcoming the difficulty of several candidates seeking election for one seat, and when we all have the privilege of voting, not because of property, but because we are men and women who have reached adult age, can we ever hope to have a truly democratic government. I picked up a newspaper the other day and read that the women of Turkey have been given the vote at 18. What will English women say to that? The components of the extension of the franchise to women of 21 tell us that a vast number of women of that age know nothing about politics; but cannot such a remark be made with equal truth about as large a proportion of men of the same age. If the granting of the vote to women at an earlier age is going to increase their education, is going to make them think about some STOP PROSTATE PAINS IN 24 HOURS Enlargement of the prostate gland is responsible for getting up frequently during the night, that draggy dull ache and burning sensation.

BE LUCKY SEND NOMONEY of the great problems of the day in a war which they have never thought before, that alone is insufficient to justify its being extended to them. But what our opponents fear, most is the power which it will place in the hands of women, giving to the way in which they vastly outnumber men at the present day. This is going to be woman's great opportunity. Will she grasp it eagerly to help solve the vital social problems of our day? Will she lead us on the road of progress to great reforms and a brighter world for those who are to follow us? The most difficult thing to contend with is "pathy." So many take a laissez faire view of life. We know little about politics, they say; so it does not matter which party is in power. If only people would realise that when they put a cross on the ballot paper they are doing no little thing, but something which will affect their fellow men and women for or ill, which may even indirectly bring war or peace, and that it is, therefore, their duty for the sake of the whole world to enlighten themselves on political questions. There are any number of things of particular moment to women which are to be grilled through parliamentary action. To mention only a few—there is the whole question of child welfare and education. Women are not only concerned with bringing children into the world. They want those children to have better opportunities than they have had; healthier homes to live up; every chance of developing the talents with which nature has endowed them; and higher education, which means the greater unfolding of the mind, bringing as a result, wider interests and a fuller life within the reach of all; and desiring these things will women vote for a candidate who wants to economize in the one department in which economy is utterly education? Then there is the great body of women workers—many inadequately paid—any number who could not possibly live on their wages without the help of parents. Will not the women voters bestify themselves, and send to Parliament men and women who recognize the right of every worker to a living wage? Women suffer so much from the effects of war. They have everything to lose by it—husbands, fathers, sons and brothers—all who are dear to them, and as a result we have a body of what some are so fond of forming, "supervous women." "Superfluous." When they can, if they will, do so much towards laying the foundation of everlasting peace; when they can elect as their representatives in the government of our country people who are not going to play with war, but will go to the very root causes of it, and try with all their might to eradicate them; who will abolish secret diplomacy; and never cease in their endeavors to make the other, great powers realize that the retention of armed force must inevitably result in war; and so make disarmament by mutual agreement a possibility. Many men who gave their lives in the war did so with the thought that they were fighting a war against war; fighting to abolish this form of tyranny, and it is for the women who are left behind to see that those lives were not given in vain; that things shall not go on in the same old way; and the great advancement of science be utilized for destructive purposes, but that the ideal for which they sacrificed themselves shall become a reality. Our women alone cannot do this. They must appeal to the women of other nations, as $9.35 VALUE PRICES SMASHED! 12 CAL.
