XVII. No. 26 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEGROES SHOULD SUBSCRIBE FOR LOANS IN NEGRO STEAMSHIP COMPANY AND HELP IN RACIAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: This week I write to you hoping that each and every one will think over seriously and act upon the suggestion made. We are all glad to know that the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company has secured its first ship, the Booker T. Washington, which is now on the waters of the Caribbean completing her first trip to the tropics, carrying thither the first group of American Negro tourists to have left this country aboard a Negro ship for a cruise across the waters. The S. S. Booker T. Washington has cost the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company a tremendous amount of money to purchase, equip and send to sea. Regular Trade Route A regular trade route is now established between America, the West Indies and Central American ports, and the company now needs further capital to run the ship successfully. Fifty thousand dollars of ready cash is now needed for the purchase of cargoes so the ship can keep her schedule with regular freight and passengers as intended. There is no reason why we in America cannot ship out to the people of the West Indies and Central America those commodities that they consume in large quantities, and why we cannot receive from them the raw materials and other products that they produce and which are consumed and used in this country. There is an ocean of possibilities lying between us as a people if we would only take immediate advantage of same, and it is to this end that we appeal to the thoughtful members of the race this week to support the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company financially so as to enable us to successfully put over the project that we are all interested in. Subscribe for a Loan Every Negro should subscribe to a loan in the Block Cross Navigation and Trading Company and help us to raise the needed capital for the investment per first ship, to say nothing of the investment in ships. You should take CAPITAL NEEDED TO RUN SHIPS SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHING OF FIRST SHIP OF BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY A SUCCESS CO-OPERATE AND PUT OVER BIG VENTURE SUPPORT ASKED FOR U. N. I. A. PARENT BODY out a $20, $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 loan immediately, bearing an annual interest of 5%. This loan taken out just at this time will help the company to meet its obligations in successfully running the first ship of the corporation. Don't Sleep—Work We must not sleep upon the success we have already achieved. Our satisfaction should not only be in owning the boat, but in successfully running the boat and acquiring others. This can be done only by solid financial support. Everybody who means well by the race commercially and industrially should now rally to the effort that is being made to put our ships on the high seas. When it is considered that only 3,500 of us have purchased the Booker T. Washington, we can readily see that if our groups will only organize themselves we can have a ship launched every three months until we have successfully built up a large merchant marine for the carrying of our commerce to and fro. Not only must the West Indies, South and Central America be linked up with us in the United States, but we must also link up our peoples in India and Africa; therefore, we must have more ships immediately. But the purchase of other ships will depend largely upon the success attending the first venture of the launching of the S. S. Booker T. Washington. We must not wait for tomorrow, next week, next month or next year to do our part, but we must do it now. Now is the time when everybody's help is needed, and we are appealing directly for this because of the needs of the Black Cross Naviga- tion and Trading Company. Send in your loans addressed to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY. Universal Negro Improvement Association. P. S.—To the members and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we make an appeal for immediate support to the Parent Body. Members and Divisions must know that the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can only carry out its program and work towards its fulfillment when it receives the whole-hearted support of members, branches and divisions. It is surprising to see that within recent time some of the large divisions of the organization have not been supporting the Parent Body as they should; that they have been dissipating the funds of the organization in their local communities without making the proper reports to the Parent Body and giving the necessary financial help to the organization to carry out its program. Members of divisions should see that this method is not continued for the new year, because the world and everybody is looking toward the Parent Body for the carrying out of the program of the organization, and if the local divisions do not make their regular reports and give the financial help it becomes impossible for us to meet our obligations and carry out the different projects. It is easy for the members and local divisions to blame the Parent Body for not doing one thing or the other, but it is impossible for the Parent Body to carry out its obligations when the branches do not give their support. All moneys collected for the annual tax and for the expense of the Parent Body should not be kept and dissipated by the local divisions, but should be sent to the Parent Body for its upkeep. Every member should pay this annual tax and secretaries should send same to the Parent Body without delay. If every member will pay his annual tax and every member see to it that it is forwarded to the Parent Body, great relief will be tendered to the Parent Body at the present time. UGGLING WITH STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY'S INTERESTS Gobbled Up by the Southern, a White Concern—Policy-Holder Shows That President Perry Betrayed His Trust and Is Striving to Deceive the Members and the Public—Statement by Atlanta Negro Civic League Standard Life Insurance Company. Life has not been changed. Finally, Home Office: 189 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 16, 1928. Dear Policyholder: You will be glad to learn that the security and protection behind your Standard Life policy was more than doubled yesterday when the stockholders of Standard Life voted to merge with the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee, the new company to be known as the Southern and Standard Life Insurance Company. No doubt you have long ago learned that this is the day of big business. In all lines various businesses are combining for greater strength and larger service, and your company is only following the course of the larger and more successful organizations. The merger gives combined assets of nearly $5,000,000 and outstanding business of $25,000,000. Not only have we added financial strength, but by merging with a Southern white insurance company we have gained a host of friends among the other race who now become personally and very definitely interested in the happiness and prosperity of the colored people throughout the entire Southland. And this economic and moral interrelationship between the races must result in a better understanding and more friendly spirit wherever the two races touch each other in the several States where the combined companies will operate. The merger, however, does not change the operating personnel of Standard Life. You have the same board of directors and the same officers and assistants in charge here in the very same headquarters where the old familiar faces will greet you. We rejoice with you in this forward step. Urge your friends to get a Standard Life policy and hold on to it. It is the surest way to protect your loved ones and provide for your old age. We have a policy for your every need. Don't you need more protection than you are now carrying? Write us freely. Teams for a larger service, HEMAN R. PERRY, President. The Atlanta School of Social Work. 86 Chestnut Street, Atlanta, Ga. January 12, 1925. Mr. Meman Perry, The Standard Life Insurance Company, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. dear Mr. Ferry: I am in receipt of your letter addressed to me as a policyholder of the Standard Life Insurance Company. It is surprising in many particulars, in view of the facts that are current regarding the financial condition of the Standard Life. It is indeed more surprising in view of the history of the Negro business development in this country. In the first paragraph you tell us that there is an occasion to be glad, for the stockholders of the Standard Life have voted to merge with the Southern Insurance Company. You justify the action on the part of the stockholders in the second paragraph by saying that it is in line with present business development. In the third paragraph you peak of the advantages of the merger with a white insurance company. Then you would make us believe that the operating personnel of the Standard 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Awakened in One Day" is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, demeaned glands and nerves; and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be relieved by every of a well-known chastity. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and often in a day's time, with Mando Fondo formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This youthful and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'last vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed in the heart of Kansas City, Mo.' today I am 19, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was growing a remarkable 'gland restoring' and my convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God bless just on the discovery of this wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest liberators in the world and generally known as Manda, who gave the life shape in its great lily as people of all ages and ages. Life has not been changed. Finally, you seem to think there is occasion, to relocate in this go-called "forward step." In the first place, it is a known fact that the Standard Life merged with the Southern Insurance Company because the Southern Insurance Company acquired the majority of the stock of the Standard Life after the Standard failed to redeem the stock which it had given to secure a mortgage. This is in no wise a merger. So the first paragraph is simply an attempt to misrepresent the situation to the policyholders. "The second paragraph is nothing but pure blather." If two insurance companies should really merge they would merge, as equals. You know as well as I that the so-called merger means the turning over to a white company the result of a decade of Negro enterprises. It is sad to read what you, or those who dictated what you were to write, say concerning the alliance with white friends. You business men have always criticized that Negroes who have protected against insult and injustice. You have told them to acquire wealth and economic independence and respect of white men would follow. Just as this seemed to be partly realized in the building up of a large Negro enterprise, lo, what do we find? This enterprise built upon the savings of the race and giving employment to a large number of colored people who are thus freed from subsistence to white people, is deliberately according to your letter, turned over to a white enterprise. Not even ignorant Negroes will accept your explanation of the merger. The Standard Life failed because of gross mismanagement, for it is as easy to run an insurance company honestly as to make doughnuts according to a recipe. You might as well tell the race you have failed. If the building up of Negro enterprises means simply turning them over to white bosses as soon as they attain a respectable size, then deliver us from economic development. Intelligent Negroes, perhaps, will not let their policies lapse and lose what they have placed in them, but they will not buy any more insurance to enrich the present white stockholders, although the latter have Negro hireships. If the standard Life has failed, then, the world should know it, so that it will know where to place the responsibility. Why did you not tell us who the stockholders were who voted to subordinate themselves to the lovely white people of the South? Since they have brought so much benefit to the race we would like to know who our benefactors are. The personal and definite interest in the happiness and the prosperity of the colored people throughout the entire Southland, which you say our white friends have acquired, is very plain to every one. You could at least have shown some respect for our intelligence by not sending your letter to pollyholders who are neither fool nor willing to deliver our colored enterprises into the hands of white boozes. I am writing you freely as you adhere. Statement by Atlanta Negro Civic League The greatest blow that has ever struck the business side of our racial group during the past decade was the knowledge that the Standard Life Insurance Company had been bought out by the Southern Life insurance Company, of Nashville, Tenn. Assets of over $2,000,000, which should have remained under the control and management of our racial group, now go to a group of Southern white men whose traditional attitude has been during the past three centuries that the place of the Negro was that of a serf and mental. The Standard Life was strictly a Negro institution built with the money of Negroes for the benefit of Negroes, in the hope that their soils and their daughters might some day have the opportunity of working in an institution manned by men of their own race, for only in such an institution can any Negro hope to live and really work as a free-American citizen. I hold the above to be true and self-evident, for though we have thousands and millions of dollars in white banks and white institutions we hold no positions with them other than that of porter and scrub woman. The Standard was built on race pride and race co-operation. A small group of Negro men (traitors) betrayed the race when they sold the majority of this stock to a white institution. On the other hand, the map or group of men who loan money with the primary object to group that which is not them, that is, not for a fair and legal rate of interest, but with the sole purpose of taking that for which they have not loaned. I may point to a man or group of men in one law for the association of benefactors. It is this clause of white business pursue that now covers the plunder. Left, the high point of the supreme condition of the white stock group being the only just injury entreaty a white business group puts upon a white stock group by giving it to accompanying Negro will make the business women of our race that created this wealth and brought this great institution into being; for even though the material organization has been sold we believe that the man of our racial group who created this institution are still great racial giants; too loyal to their race and the ideals on which the Standard was built to give any of their efforts to the further building of assets for white pirates. We thank God further that the sale of the Standard stock does not mean the sale of 80,000 policyholders, for these policyholders are all Negro loyal to their race and to their God. They will not be discouraged by this sale, but they will rededicate and reconcentrate themselves to the task of building up racial enterprises and will demand the cash or loan value of their policies and place their membership with some other Negro institution and thus out of the ashes of the Standard will rise a greater North Carolina Mutual, a greater Atlantic Life, a greater National Benefit, a greater Supreme Life and Causally, greater safe Negro institutions everywhere. The loss of control of this institution will not shake the confidence of our race in Negro enterprise, but apur on Negro manhood to deeds of greater achievement. Look to God, oh black men, and swear to Him that liveth forever that pride in Negro manhood, pride in Negro womanhood, and pride in race achievement are assets that cannot be bought and sold, and though the material assets of the Standard Life, go out the race, the Negro manhood and womanhood, the agency force, and the policymakers will exercise their manhood rights and demonstrate to the world that they themselves cannot be sold, that they are above the price of gold, that they are free and independent human beings and will continue to support their race by commanding the cash burrencer value of their policies and lining up with some strictly racial institution. Arlise, oh black men in the North, the South, the West, the East, linking hands and hearts create and build newer and mighter institutions wherein the manhood and womanhood of the race will have a fair opportunity of unhappened expression and advancement.

MARCUS GARVEY IN SOUTH AFRICA High Appreciation of the President General and of the Negro World for the Work They Have Done in the Work of African Redemption To the Editor of The Negro World: Herewith, on behalf of our people in South Africa, I desire to thank you for the inspiring editorials and articles published in The Negro World. Since I have been read to be called a Negro, I am a native of Africa, although my parents came here from Martinique. French West Indies. If the black race could only digest the utterances of the Hon. Marcus Garvey appearing on the front page and elsewhere, in your columns for our uplift, we would command the respect of all nations. We need more race pride and respect for our own leaders. If we follow the lessons now being taught us, we shall be able, when asked what we have done, to point to our achievements in commerce, finance, science as well as religion. We have long needed a leader like the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and all Negroes everywhere should strive to hold up his arms. In his honor I have composed a poem entitled "Work and Walt." a copy of which I enclose, and for which I trust you can find space. DANIEL WILLIAM ALEXANDER, South Africa, December, 1924. Poem Dedicated to Hon. Marcus Garvey by the Very Rev. Daniel William Alexander, Vicar Apostolic of the African' Orthodox Church in South Africa WORK AND WAIT Up brothers! 'Tis a mighty deed Angels would covet to begin, Clapping their wings in eager speed, A universe to win. Toll out! It is your Master's will; His own bright world in chaos stood Waiting the labors of His skill Eve He pronounced it "good." Union is strength! A phalanx stand Breasting the world's contempt and scorn. Een should, no palm-branch weigh your hand, No crown your brow adorn. Truth-holy truth, deathless, divine, Engraven on the immortal scroll: With God's eternal throne for shrine, Empire from pole to pole. Does this demand your reverend care? A martrydom of faith and zeal? Armed for the battle, bodily dare The issue, woe or weal. DECISION IN CELEBRATED CASE AGAINST MARCUS GARVEY At the last minute as we were about to go to press the news was received that the New York Circuit Court of Appeals had handed down a decision confirming the conviction of the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the case of the alleged using of the United States mail to defraud. An appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, and all friends of Mr. Garvey are requested to do their bit in rallying to the Appeal and Defense Fund to be raised to fight the case for justice. Mr. Garvey feels that the Negro race will not lose the opportunity of fighting against prejudice and injustice to the end and to make a record for future generations of the race, demonstrating the tremendous opposition encountered in the fight for the true emancipation of the race. TROUBLE IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS NOW INTENSE Freedom of the press in the Virgin Islands from arbitrary interference by white officials will be tested in the U. S. Circuit court at Philadelphia in the appeal of Rothschild Francis, editor of the Emancipator, sentenced to thirty days on January 10 on a charge of criminal libel for an article charging brutality against a policeman. The American Civil Liberties Union which will assist in carrying up the appeal states that Francis was tried without a jury before District Judge Washington 'Williams at St. Thomas, who is "known to be his political enemy." According to the Union the conviction is "the climax of a long political feud between Francis and the naval administration, particularly Judge Williams, whose appointment the editor opposed." Efforts on behalf of Francis will also be made by the Associated Virgin Island Societies of New York, headed by Caspar Holstein. He will be represented by A. A. Berle, Jr., New York attorney, who has specialised in Virgin Island matters. The article for which Francis was indicted appeared in the December 27 issue of the Emancipator under the heading "A Native Batesko," and read as follows: "Something is wrong with our police force," everybody in saying. Recently a policeman fired a shot which lodged in the tub of a private citizen, then he attempted a false arrest, and before we are about to go press he used his club in a brutal manner on a woman that he was ordered to take home; we understand. Merchants and other citizens are indignant. How long, O Justice, how long?" Francis was arraigned before Judge Washington Williams on January 6. He pleaded not guilty and was tried on January 9, and 10. The indictment filed by Government Attorney Charles H. Gibson named Phillip Mathias, a member of the St. Thomas police force, as the policeman meant in the Ennacopter article. Francis was charged with publishing "a certain false, scandalous, defamatory libel of and concerning him, Phillip Mathias, containing false, scandalous, wicked, malicious, and defamatory and libulous words and matters." Francis's request for a jury trial was denied. The following statement on the case was issued today by the Civil Liberties Union: "Boththle Francis was tried and found guilty by a man whom he has opposed as hostile to the wel- IF IT IS SUCCESS YOU NEED IN BUSINESS, ADVERTISE IN THE NEGRO WORLD fare of the Virgin Islands. In reply to criticisms by Francs appearing in the New York Times Current History Magazine, Washington Williams, when Government Attorney and Police Judge of the Virgin Islands, published an article in the January 26, 1924, issue of the St. Thomas Mall Notes, attacked Francs as 'the loudest-mouthed howler on the subject of the freedom of the press' and a 'calamity howler and publicity secker'. "On July 7, 1924, Francs published in 'the Emancipator two protests against the appointment of Williams to his present post of district judge. One protest was addressed to President Coolidge by the Associated Virgin Islands Societies of New York, the other to Governor Phillip Williams by the Civil Liberties—Union, specifically warning that 'the feeling between Williams and the inhabitants of the islands has been no notoriously bitter that they fear he would use his new post to battle old scores." "Articles criticizing the naval administration appeared in the Emancipator in August and September. Attempts to punish Francis were made several times unsuccessfully. Government Attorney Charles H. Gibson, who filed the present indictment, threatened Francis with a litalic suit following articles of election irregularities appearing in the Emancipator on September 27 and 29. "Under these conditions it is a travy oty on justice for Judge Williams to try Francis without a jury. The article for which Francis was indicted is purely political. His conviction" by a political foe is a dangerous form of press censorship." Judge Washington Williams is a native of Maryland. He has often been accused by Virgin Island papers of anti-Negro prejudice. Frequent protests against naval rule in the islands have been sent to the government by Virgin Islanders and their friends. A bill establishing a permanent civil government in the islands is now pending in Congress. GARVEY'S VIEWPOINT OF AFRICA FOR AFRICANS GARVEY'S VIEWPOINT OF AFRICA FOR AFRICANS From The Omaha Monitor Marcus Garvey, if we understand his position, maintains that the black race can never come into its own in America and that its only salvation is to migrate to the 'land of its forefathers and build up a great and powerful empire in Africa. We believe that, stripped of details, fundamentally this is his contention. Is Garvey right? That race prejudice is increasing rather than decreasing as our race advances in thrift, intelligence, wealth, moral worth, character and self-respect, cannot be denied by the thoughtful student of social phenomena. In striking contrast, however, to this increasing prejudice is the ever-enlarging number of thoughtful and fair-minded white men and women—who realising the injustice, as well as the danger of this attitude are doing all within their power to combat it. Then, too, it must be noted that in spite of opposition we, as a group, have made, and are making wonderful progress. This progress we hold answers Garvey's charge that the black race can never come into its own in America. It is coming slowly, we grant, but steadily into its own. That Africa offers golden opportunities for those who have the pioneer spirit and the spirit of the pioneers is doubtless true. That as knowledge of this group among our people ventureures youth will seek their fortune there cannot be doubled, but that there will ever be the evacuation of America by vast multitudes of Negroes full, quite possible, is scarce probable—While one views the growing prejudices against Negroes in America it is easy to account for Garvey's contention and those who believe he does. Then, however, one asks other significant factors that cannot agree with him. The Negro who has governed so long by the meeting of America will come from his own and his native realms—just on speaking there in a German town. Garvey will power Africa and give prosperity to its American will develop America and plant one born here the American by his own. CONQUER WEAKNESS!

GREAT FIGHT FOR NEGRO OFFICERS FOR FIFTEENTH Unreasoning Opposition From Influential Sources Discredit the Movement and Show They Must Be Prejudiced in Favor of White Officers The movement sponsored by Equity Congress to secure an all colored officer personnel for the Fifteenth New York Infantry has met with country-wide approval. General indignation is felt at the wholesale requests for resignations made upon colored officers of the regiment, and the congress is in receipt of letters of encouragement and support from large numbers of substantial citizens of the race. It is the almost universal feeling that, since the ranks of the regiment are composed solidly of colored men, the officers should be colored, too. There have been some three or four discordant notes on the part of citizens viewing the matter purely from a political standpoint. Equity Congress is not fighting a political battle. Its fight is racial. Mr. Fred R. Moore one of the leading editors of the race, does not approve of the present campaign of the congress. He says the contact between white and colored officers is good. If that is so, why is not contact between white and colored privates equally good? Resultantly, why not mixed regiments all the way down the line? Editor Moore's theory does not seem to be a consistent one, unless he still retains the feeling of that ancient and fast dying out element that nothing can be worth while unless there is a white man at the head of it. Another gentleman who does not approve of the campaign is Mr. Michigan Brown, clerk of the Seventh District Court, and it is understood that Counselor Poe M. Billips is also in opposition to the movement, notwithstanding the whole-hearted support given Mr. Billips by Equity Congress in the recent election. However, there are just a few of these dissenting voices. The rank and file of the race and country over are substantially in favor of the proposition, and Equity Congress is daily receiving letters and telegrams of congratulation and pledges of support. The battlefield of the black regiments on the battlefields of France conclusively proved that the type of military leader has now been developed within the race who is thoroughly capable of leading military organizations, and we propose to see that these men do lead. Altogether too few of our race have risen high above the ranks in the regular army, and when those few reached a certain grade that the War Department considered "high enough for a Negro," altogether too many of our editors and leading citizens sat pumphly by and saw the other side tracked, assigned to inferior duties, and other humiliated and belittled in a way to make impossible his further advancement. With Negro militia units capably officiated by men of their own race, in the event of war and the necessity for raising large numbers of regiments from the ranks of the citizens of the country, these officers and those of the regular army would be eligible for advancement to even higher grades, rather than demotion and assignment to inferior duties, and the country would see to it that they were so advanced. And never again would a Secretary of War, indeed a President, have the temerity to by subterfuge shunt aside an officer, simply because of his color, and prevent the promotion that was rightfully and meritoriously his. Ex-Governor Sulzer in his magnificent letter to the "Amsterdam News" has absolutely clarified the situation with respect to the intent of the law as regards the officers of the regiment. When he signed the bill it was his understanding that the real intent was that the entire personnel, officers and men, should be colored. At the time there was a law that before a member of the militia could be eligible to receive a commission, he must have served three years in the State Guard. This law automatically prevented the appointment of colored officers when the regiment was organized, but large numbers of men have now served more than the required three years, and such of these men as are competent should have opportunity for advancement. Furthermore, in 1918, Assemblyman Healy (Democrat) introduced a bill making eligible for appoinment as of (Continued on page 8) NEGRO HOTEL SERVICE AND THEIR PATRONS Written for The Negro World By VIRGINIA WESTON People who have traveled and are used to hotel life have many quiet laughs to themselves. There are folks who say, "Indeed, I wouldn't eat 'th a restaurant or live in a hotel. You never know what you are eating, and hotels are so expensive." As for the eating part of it, were we to analyze everything we eat we would die from starvation. Hotel expenses depend on your business or profession. Theatrical folk and advertising agents are on the road constantly. Anyone belonging to the former profession will tell you he has no pathway that is strews with roses. A business firm always selects a man who laughs at disappointments, because one can easily meet them stopping at some of our Negro hotels. It would be very inconvenient for a prospective customer to be interviewed in a private home. Arriving in a town at a late hour of the night, ringing someone's doorbell, one would receive anything but a hearty welcome. Whether it be day or night, should you enquire of some elevator boys in New York city, if a certain person lives in the apartment house, they will perly inform you that they are no public information bureaus. The greater you hurry to get upailts, the longer the elevator boy prolongs his conversation with the switchboard operator about the "numbers." The average Negro is very liberal, but there are such a meeny few who give efficient service that those who do find that their services are not appreciated. I have seen some very courteous boys pampered and ignored by some of our "elite" as though they were objects in a museum. One thing that can be said in behalf of a hotel, there isn't a half dozen victoria playing at the same time, with someone over your head, walking the floor with a royal baby who is cutting its first imperial tooth. In these New York hotels one doesn't have to be disturbed hearing the bellboys run up and down the stairs, as they have no bellboys. When you give the chambermalt any instructions of any consequence, be sure you don't stand near a window and distract her attention, for she will blankly turn and ask, "What did you say?" If a telegram comes about midnight, don't expect it until the next morning, as the desk clink will tell you he thought you were out. Make it a point to have your own towel, as the laundry man may be late. You'll never get scalded from the hot water, although the rooms are fairly comfortable. The Negro business man can smoke more cigars, tell someone else what to do, and drag more ashes in an hour, than all the essential work he would do around his own place in six weeks. There is always something for busy hands to do, and if the hands cannot be soled, then the brain is still in its place, and there are always new plans to be made and carried out. What a pity we are after the white man in everything but business. Success to the boy or girl who is making the best of his or her opportunities in the commercial world depends upon efficiency. The world is crying for efficient men and women. Efficient men and women can command their pay. When you know your work and do it people only bother you when seeking for information. We all admire the person who is bright and efficient. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN The Fine Art of Buying and Selling and of Pleasing Patrons and Experience Make for Success Written for The Negro World By ETHEL V. REEVES Note:—With no thought to discourage, this article hopes to inspire a few to encourage Negro business by doing and saying those things which will tend to awaken the lagging members of the race to some semblance of racial consciousness, so that they will do their bit toward solving our grave industrial problem. Hundreds of small businesses among Negroes fall every year. Many that do not fall survive by changing hands frequently. This is well known by most of the race, but it is a fact that ought to receive more than the casual observation of those interested in race development along commercial lines. A careful and sane analysis of failure has the possibility of materializing into a rock upon which great success may be founded. Even the most optimistic of us are forced to admit that Negroes have not up to this time been a howling success in big business.

Most people is due them for their conscientious effort. Doubtless those who have been actively interested in most of our unfortunate ventures in big business have sought out the reasons for failure and profited thereby. They have emerged sadder and wiser to marshal their forces for another effort. This is the few. What of the many? For each business enterprise of large scope, there are a hundred small businesses started by inexperienced but ambitious members of the race. Fow observe the short life of these businesses and many who observe are indifferent since they are not directly concerned. But these small failures, which hardly cause a ripple on the commercial waters, when multiplied become an eating cancer, supplying the life of our people everywhere. Viewed collectively, they are as one gigantic failure depriving the race as a whole of success and holding it in the commercial clutches of other races. Seen from this angle, the failure of the small merchant becomes everybody's business, everybody's concern. A close scrutiny of the situation may be of interest to many who have looked on and wondered why, but who have never given the matter serious consideration. Business Methods The venturesome but uninitiated spirit, faring-forth into the practically unexplored and uncharted land of Negro business, must recognize the fact that success in business seldom, if ever, comes by accident. The successful merchant has, consciously or unconsciously, adopted certain methods as old as business itself and as necessary as capital and stock. A disregard of these fundamental principles in the conduct of trade invariably results in dissatisfaction on the one hand and failure on the other. Negro merchants might well observe the methods of successful tradesmen of other races and take for their own those which they believe to be good. A brief survey of methods is interesting The two great factors in any business are the individual or individuals promoting the business and the public, or those to whom the goods are to be sold. Success lies in uniform and harmonious cooperation between the two. For either side to fall short usually means failure. But always, always, a merchant needs to bear in mind that competition is great and upon his shoulders rests the burden of pleasing the buyer. First of all the buying public expects and often demands courtesy. If it is not extended, the managers may not receive any complaints but a slow and sure decrease in volume of business will inevitably follow. This seems to be the last consideration of some colored merchants. The attitude of some Negro business men would lead one to believe that they confer the greatest favor upon the buyer by serving him at all. Indifference, curtness and many times impudence are outstanding characteristics of many Negro merchants. For some reason or other they get it into their heads that they ought to be patronized by race people because of race and in spite of everything else. Race loyalty is a splendid thing and all ought to possess it, but human nature must be taken into account. It may be painful to contemplate and admit, but those who are willing to stand the continual strain of inconvenience because of race loyalty are comparatively few in number. This difficulty is increased in the world of business by the Strong competition of tradesmen of other races and the case with which custom may be transferred from one place to another. Other Factors Then, there is the matter of stock. Common sense would dictate that those preparing to open a certain kind of business would not only familiarize themselves with the general run of stock in that business, but also give due consideration to the neighborhood in which the business is situated and the class of patrons to be catered to. Even after the most careful consideration, there will be many things inquired for which may not be in stock. If a sufficient number of inquiries come, for a certain article, it would seem good policy to add is to stock. In the meanwhile the customer would feel encouraged if the merchant would state his intention in the matter of securing the desired article. Just another bit of human nature! And so, we might go on endlessly down the list of things that shopkeepers might do to encourage trade. But what of the other side? The great means of Negroes spend millions of dollars yearly. What can they do to keep the trade ball rolling? No lengthy explanation of the difficulties under which our people enter trade is necessary. All Negroes know what a poor race of people we are and what sacrifices are often made in the cause of progress. No Negro ought to have to be asked to extend sympathy and understanding to his struggling brother. All are familiar with the man who has worked hard until he has reached middle age to accumulate the pitiful sum with which to open a small business; to realize the dream of his lifetime. He has had no time to study the ethical side of business management. White merchants are often curt, and yet we return again and again with our custom and money. Why should we be more long suffering with another race than with our own? We do not always find what we want in other stores and yet we do not case to visit them. The complaint of some is that the goods are not fresh. This is especially the case in many grocery stores. Unfortunately, this charge is often true. But, purchase. This condition would be kept with law often if Negroes would address their own in a greater extent and so increase the turnover. Certainly a man with small capital cannot be expected to continually buy additional A Startling New Discovery!

Negro stores are not so numerous as to always make them convenient and the housewife often finds it easier to buy at the store closest at hand. In an emergency, this often cannot be avoided. But, with planning in most families, the weekly or semi-weekly store of staples may be purchased at one time. Cannot we, who long and pray for industrial emancipation, journey to the nearest Negro store and contribute our mite toward the great cause? There is much food for thought here. Volumes could be written about it and yet much remain unsaid. The problem is such a universal one that few communities remain untouched by it. Mass action is the only remedy. Every Negro must be brought to realize that every dollar returned to the race is another step up. The reflex action of money circulated among our people carries with it benefits too-far-reaching to be estimated. A hint or suggestion offered to the sleeping brother by those who are awake ought to work wonders within the next decade. Suppose we start our campaign now!

LET'S PUT IT OVER THE FREE SHIP AND THE SLAVE SHIP AND OUR SHIP EARLY in the seventeenth century, within a year, two ships set sail for America. One was the Mayflower; it carried a band of Puritans who were leaving their beloved England or the sake of liberty. The other was a slave ship; it carried a cargo of black men who were torn from their native Africa for the sake of slavery. These two ships, representing opposite principles, carried with them the conflicting elements that were destined to cause the greatest civil war in history. They almost tore this country asunder. A new history just off the press goes further than that; it reminds us of the well-known historical fact that the conflict between freedom and slavery almost prevented the establishment of the United States. That book is "The American States During and After the Revolution," by Allan Nevins. It treats of the colonies up to the year 1789, when Washington became President. People nowadays think that the four years of the Civil War were the most critical period of American history. They do not realize that the six years from 1783 to 1789 were the greatest crisis. It was a giant's job to get thirteen states to pull together. Besides ordinary jealousy they had conflicting ideals, customs, and material interests. New England was the stronghold of democracy; Pennsylvania was dominated by the pacifist Quakers; the Southern colonies, with their system of serfdom, were founded upon aristocracy. Massachusetts and Virginia were direct opposites. George Washington, when he took command of the Revolutionary army in Massachusetts, called the Yankee farmers "exceedingly dirty and nasty." Washington, by birth and wealth, was an aristocrat; he never cared for the common people, black or white. At the Constitutional Convention the Northern States wanted slavery abolished and the Southern delegates were ready to quit and go home. Slavery was the mainstay of the South. Years afterward, when the first protective tariff bill was passed, in 1816, the Southern States refused to obey it and President Andrew Jackson had to threaten to send Federal troops to South Carolina. The tariff bill was passed to keep cheap European goods out of the country, thus protecting American business men. But the South wanted these cheap goods to be traded for her own cheap goods and her goods were cheap because she did not have to pay her laborers, who were slaves. Finally she seceded from the Union on the slave issue. Thus, from the beginning of the United States, and before the beginning, the Negro question was paramount in all the conflicts between the South and the North. The dissensions often carried other names, such as the States' Rights principles or Tariff Nullification, but the main underlying reason was the possession of slaves by the South. Those two ships of the year 1619 and 1620 were broken up for firewood three hundred years ago, but the conflict they brought to this country is not settled to this day. None of those who came over here on the free ship and the slave ship, some three hundred and five years ago, could have dreamed that the slave system would have passed away in fire and flame and blood, and that the descendants of those who came over on the slave ship would own and operate a steamship of their own, and call her name the S. S. Booker T. Washington through the masterful efforts of Marcus Garvey, backed up by the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Surely the old order passeth and this new order is at hand. THE NEW AND BRILLIANT FRENCH EDITOR OF THE NEGRO WORLD MISS THEODORA HOLLY, who during the past four months has been temporarily filling the functions of French editor of The Negro World, in the absence of Reverend Mr. Theodore Stephens, has now been added permanently to our staff. Miss Holly is the daughter of the late James Theodore Holly, founder and first missionary, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Haiti. Miss Holly was educated exclusively at Port au Prince. She studied English under Mrs. Isabella Lawson, a native of Liverpool, England, and French under Parisian masters in the Institution of Madame Veuve Eugene Rabeau. Miss Body is a teacher. She taught English for some time at the latter institution. Later she was requested to take charge of the upper classes at Bird College and was eventually promoted to be director. From thence she passed to the position of professor of female language and literature in the Pensionnat National de l'Académie (National High School for Girls). She was afterward appointed as member of the local board of education and held various posts. industrial training would be very beneficial to them; consequently she is very much interested in American methods of education. It was her good fortune and privilege to spend a month at the National Training School for Women and Girls at Washington, D. C., and a full term at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. While there she gave French lessons to the senior classes and assisted in the plain sewing department. At present Miss Holly's one great dream is to open an industrial school for girls on her return to Haiti, equipped and conducted after the American plan, subject to such modifications as local conditions and environment might demand. Should the funds for that purpose not be forthcoming, her next plan will be to suggest certain changes in the existing public school system of Haiti. In our next issue Miss Holly will furnish our readers with an article on "The Women of Haiti." NO EXCLUSIVE AVENUE FOR NEW YORK THIS year's prize for nerve should be awarded to the residents of Fifth avenue, in New York. They have tried to get a city ordinance passed forbidding parades on Fifth avenue. They want to make it and keep it a private street on which no common person may set foot. It is hard to see just how the passing of a parade violates the sanctity of a Fifth avenue home. Men go to France to be shot and burned and gassed in protecting those homes, but when they return from war they are not deemed worthy to parade past the dainty windows of those homes. American snobbery goes to greater extremes than any other kind. The King of England would not only permit soldiers to parade past his palace, he would stand on the sidewalk and cheer them. So would all the real aristocrats. It is only the imitator who tries to be more aristocratic than the aristocrat himself. Besides, we had always thought that Fifth avenue belonged to New York City. The disposition to be exclusive, to draw class, race and caste lines is steadily gaining ground in the United States. Some culture and a great deal of money, mixed with a large quantity of vulgarism, are showing themselves in many directions, and threatening the peace and well-being of the Nation. Exclusive residential districts is one of the ways in which the exclusive spirit is showing itself, along with ostentatious displays of wealth in sports and pastimes, and foolish entertainments, and provoking the animosity of the great mass of the population, who find it hard to make ends meet, and who are bled white by monopolists and traders and gamblers in the necessaries of life. The popular thoroughfares and highways belong to the whole people and cannot be set aside for the pleasure and convenience of the wealthy and exclusive who may want to monopolize them. CRITICIZING THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE RELATIONS THE NATION is a liberal magazine and its subscribers hold a banquet every year at which things are discussed from a liberal viewpoint. We were hardly prepared, however, for the subject of this year's dinner discussion. It seems that the question was, "Monogamy Feasible?" Elsie Clews Parsoins and others threw a lot of doubt on the institution of matrimony as we know it. One man said that in many cases it is hypocrisy and in others it is only dignified prostitution. In short, most of them seemed to think it was hell. What we want to know is, what can they do about it? If they follow their criticisms to the logical end they must advocate either polygamy or no marriage at all—free love. Of course such critics never have the practical courage of their convictions. As advanced woman will advocate free love from the rostrum and then prosecute anyone who calls her a free lover. She will rail against marriage and then marry the man she wants—if she can get him. After all, mankind is wiser than any one man or woman. These advanced thinkers do not seem to know that what they are advocating is old stuff, as old as the history of mankind. Men tried it out a hundred thousand years ago. Letourneau's book on the origin and history of the family would open some of these liberals' eyes. First, men tried promiscuous free love, just like the beasts, in which the father had absolutely no responsibility for his offspring. They found it wouldn't work; it was too hard on the woman, for one thing. Then they tried polygamy, which means the marriage of one man to a flock of women. They found that that wouldn't work either; perhaps it was too hard on the man. Now we have monogamy, which means one wife for one man. If the women are dissatisfied with that, God help 'em; we can't go any further. West Virginia Striving to Give Negroes Square Deal CHARLESTON, W. Va. — Governor E. E. Morgan, in his message to the West Virginia Legislature, now in session, took occasion to comment upon the great opportunity afforded Negroes in this State. He said: "We stand at the top of the list among those States south of the Mason and Dixon line in providing educational opportunities" for Negroes, and he closed his reference to the race by stating "that the colored man in West Virginia feels that he has political and economic equality." The governor praised the work of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics, T. Edward Hill director, for its accomplishments on behalf of the Negro race. The part of his message referring to the Negro in full follows: "West Virginia has continued to provide greater opportunities for the colored people who reside within her borders. We stand at the top of the list among those States south of the Mason and Dixon line in providing educational opportunities, and our achievement is reflected in the statistical fact that the rate of illiteracy among Negroes is lower in West Virginia than in any other of the mentioned groups of states. We have provided a number of charitable institutions for colored people in recent years and they are being conducted with efficiency by仪仪 of that race. The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics established in 1857, has been doing an excellent world work in improving and educating, including among negroed people and it has been accomplished in improving theft and robbery among the citizens. It has helped this old institution of law, improving education, with the result that the colored man for Negroes has been educated in law. Influence of Newspapers Has Become Paramount From The Bulletin-Appeal Journalism is a profession. It is taught in modern schools, and has a place in the curriculum of universities. Like other professions, it is governed by a code of ethics. The trained news- paper man or woman will not violate this code knowingly. If in some way an apparent failure to recognize it is present, they are the first to make public an apology for the indiscretion. There is no profession where greater co-operation exists than among publishers of newspapers. The larger publication is always ready and willing to lend assistance to the smaller publication. The loan of cuts, printing material, etc. is an outstanding feature of newspaper amenity. But the code of ethics require that with the use of much that is so loaned, credit should be given the lender, simultaneously, with the use of such matter when published. A breach of this rule is regarded as discourteous and usually savers friendly relations. The profession is an honorable one and carries great responsibility. The molder of public opinion must have a sound philosophy of life, a sacred regard for the truth, honesty, integrity, and morality. Not only must he be imbued with a high regard for these virtues, but he must exemplify them in his daily mode of living. To live up to this code a man honors the profession by honoring himself. No other profession, outside of the ministry of the gospel, has a higher code or degree to match. Catholic Welfare Delegates Are to Visit Haiti Rev.

The New- HOW TO WRITE CORRECTLY WHAT YOU MAY THINK Those people who have read the articles in the December and January issues of Opportunity, by Mr. Eugene F. Gordon, "Outstanding Negro Newspapers," will have not only learned a great deal about Negro newspapers, but about how success in newspaper work must be achieved or not at all. A very great many people have a mind that they can write anything, that is on their, mind, and with which they are very much in love, without knowing anything about the rules that govern the sort of composition they want to write. You would be surprised at the number of people who have a mind like that, which is funny enough in all conscience, if it did not give editors so much trouble in going through vast masses of manuscripts to try and find if there is any valuable thought in it all and the authors so much disappointment and vexation when their articles are rejected. By reading Mr. Gordon's articles closely people who want to write correctly will learn a whole lot they should know. Think of a man trying to do the work of a brick mason or carpenter, or a woman trying to do the work of a school teacher or seamstress or good cook without first learning how he should go about and do the work. And, yet, all sorts of people think that they can write prose or verse on any sort of subject without learning first how it must be done. Must! If it is not done as it should be it generally is not accepted, whether it be a newspaper or magazine article or a book. In that case the editor has wasted his time and the writer has a big disappointment coming to him, which he usually loads the editor with and not himself. He thinks the editor is ignorant, and some have written me candidly they so think, or that he is prejudiced in some way. A real editor can't be ignorant and he can't have any prejudices; he must be open to evaluate work simply on its merits. That is usually the case, but the person who fails to get his article accepted seldom thinks so. In news articles all that is needed is to get the facts and state them plainly and without expressing any opinion about them. That is not the business of the reporter but of the editor. In articles of opinion have a subject. State it plainly; then discuss it pro and con; then draw the conclusion, and stop. In poetry, know the rules above everything; else; a poet a subject and not a prose subject, as poetry is the highest form of human thought and expression, and finds outlet most appropriately in sentimentality, in mysticism, in occultation, in philosophical speculation on the whenceceness of the how and the howness of the whence. People who have a common school education, who have mastered the fundamentals of language and thought, succeed best in writing or speaking who write and speak just as they would in conversation. Straining after effect and using words, mostly of the big and imposing sort, which are usually above the understanding of the average person, is the besetting fault of most young writers and speakers, and causes them to fail and not to understand why they fail. Think to the point; write it short; write it witty, and leave the rest to the editor and the reader. WALKER CO. PILGRIMS VIEWING THE HOLY LAND INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28—Messages have been received from Revs M. J. Key, K. H. Burruss, S. S. Jones and J. O. Halthecox, guests of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg.

The clear starch settles to the bottom of the vessels in which this work is being done and the liquid drained off. The starch is heated, this causing the poisonous substances to disappear, and allowing the starch to become sticky and thick. Then the thick starch is allowed to dry in the appropriate forms, such as pearl taploca, fake taploca, minute taploca and taploca flour. As a food, taploca is very nutritious. It equals many of the starchy, vegetables. A tablespoonful is equal in calorie value to a cup of spinach (but the spinach contains minerals which the taploca does not contain). Two tablespoonful of it equal a medium sized potato and these two foods are alike in that they are principally starch. By combining the tapaice with apples, strawberries, pineapple and such fruits, delicious desserts can be made which have real value. There is a commercial preparation which is very good and nowadays I notice that tapaice is being used in gravy, for instance, in place of flour. In other words, "dish eye puddle" is not to be despised as a good food. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS from criticism and spared of necessary audits and checks on his operations.

College boys usually call taplocs muddling by that descriptive name. pudding by that descriptive name. What is it made of, do you know? It comes from a plant which belongs to the family of the milkweed. The plant is as common and as much a source of staple food down in the South American countries as the potato is to us in the North. It originated in Peru and is known as the cassava plant. It is a bushy shrub growing close to ten feet high and having greenish purple flowers, beautiful and tropical in appearance. The potato has poisonous relatives, for it belongs to the "ideally eight shade family" and the cassava plant contains some poisonous materials. These materials vanish, completely during the process of refining for household use. In making the tapafo, only the roots are used; these are ground or pounded with water to Train your mind to remember what your eyes see; keep your brain sensitized so that the impressions made upon it shall become permanent pictures to which you can turn when they may be needed. —Oklahoma Eagle.

ANTHONY AENY HAMPTON, W. W. - D. Gresham, of Richmond, State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke at a general assembly of Hampton Institute workers and students, which was held in Ogden Hall, on "Some Problems of Negro Education in Virginia." In 1830, according to Mr. Gresham, Virginia had approximately 225,000 colored children of school age (7 to 20 years). Of this number, there were enrolled in the public schools last year 187,413. The average attendance was 110,799, about 70 per cent. In Virginia there are 2,872 colored teachers, of whom 3,100 are women, and only 472 are men. In Virginia there are 1,945 school buildings for colored children, with 3,514 rooms, and an average of 44 pupils per room. There are still in Virginia 1,272. one- 'RHEUMATISM STOPPED IN ONE DAY' H.

This amazing prescription is bringing renewed health and sense, where everything else has fallen, whereandawhere anything has stopped the first day, says H. Stone, 'I had been a sufferer from rhizomalism for without relief. I started taking Kurex in morning and by evening the pain had gone down and the stiffness had left in some down and the stiffness had left in your wondrous Kurex. This wonderful prescription, prepared by a large laboratory and generally known by Kurok, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes. Kurok's matter, bed your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried. If you are suffering from the health, neuritis or stuff joint, we are so confident Kurok Prescription will stop it that we offer to send a large treatment for only $1.50 on 14 days' trial.

The movement is toward consolidating these small schools and buildings. 3, 4, 5 and 6-room schools. The average length of term in all colored schools is 146 days, or 7-15 months. There are no counties with a shorter term than five months, and there are only two counties in the State where the term is just five months. During the present school year there are in Virginia for colored boys and girls 31 county training schools with 193 teachers. Eight of these schools have a term of nine months; one has a term of ten months, and 23 have terms of eight months each. The enrollment in these schools is 5,845 (3,001 boys, and 2,344 girls). While these schools do not yet rank an high schools, there is one county training school which is about to qualify as an accredited four-year high school. This is the Virginia Randolph School. In Hancock county, which is a few miles out of Richmond. One of the county training schools is a junior high school. It is located at Harrisonburg, in Rockingham county. The standard is the same for colored as for white high schools, and the certificates for colored teachers are the same as for white. In the county training schools there are, above the seventh grade, 359 pupils, 729 girls and 360 boys. In Virginia there are at work 58 Jeanes industrial supervising teachers (4 men and 54 women). These teachers receive an average salary of approximately $800 per year. The income for salaries follows: From State funds, $17,000; Jeanes fund, $16,250; and local funds, $13,050. These men and women go on and out among the colored homes and schools and help in every possible way to improve community life. Julius Rosenwald, a Chicago millionaire, during the recent years has given about $2,500,000 for the building of rural colored schools throughout the fourteen Southern States. This year $40,000 are being spent in Virginia for this type of school. Up to January 1 Mr. Rosenwald had helped to build 2,600 schools for colored children. North Carolina ranks first with 400 Rosenwald schools. Virginia ranks fifth with 220 schools. This year's program in Virginia calls for about 45 schools. The Rosenwald schools in Virginia, which have cost over $550,000, have been paid for as follows: Colored people have given $235,249, or 27 per cent; Rosenwald fund, $141,700, or 16 per cent; the white people, $15,808, a little over 1 per cent, and local funds, $40,803, or 56 per cent. Last year 2,046 colored teachers, or 61 per cent, attended the four Virginia summer schools, including Hampton Institute. Mr. Gresham outlined the following educational needs for Negroes: Better school facilities, longer terms, better buildings, more high schools, another State normal school, and, above everything else, more and better teachers. Mr. Gresham said that there were five needs of the colored people of Virginia; more intelligent and cohesive created leadership, more faith and trust in one another, greater recognition of the true value of the team work; appreciation and use of the advantages which they already have, and a realization of the true value of education. "What we all need, white and colored alka," said Mr. Graham, "is a greater interest in one another. We all need a little more charity. We should not judge a whole race by the acts of a few individuals. There are good white people, and there are good colored people. We must hold high the light and let it shine into the dark places where there is ignorance and gloom and sorrow." Editor of the "Amsterdam News" for the editorial in his Issue of January 31. He wielded a tremendous pua, and verily indeed, there is not a real red-blooded man among us who would not take pride in seeing a Negro soldier swigging down Fifth avenue at the head of his regiment. We have a right to see it, and we are going to see it too. Equity Congress again pledges itself to expend every ounce of energy in the fight to bring about this accomplishment. On battlefields, at home and abroad, the black soldier has shown his military prowess and valor. He has shown his mettle and won his spur, but in the past under white leadership. The day is now come, since the fates still degrees that there must be black Great Fight for Negro Officers for Fifteenth (Continued from page 2) officers in regiments overseas. Assemblyman Hawkins (Republican) requested that he be permitted to introduce this bill, but Assemblyman Healy refused on the ground that he alone had fathered the idea and drawn up the bill, and he therefore felt it his duty to personally see it through. The bill was referred to the Military Committee, the chairman of which was a Republican, who is now connected in a military capacity in the Borough of Brooklyn. This bill was never reported from Committee. It is to be hoped that, in accordance with the manifest and expressed wish of his consul(fiúñez) "Assemblyman Billups will either reintroduce this measure at the present session of the Legislature, or introduce a similar bill and urge its passage to the utmost of his powerful influence and persuasive ability. Hon. George W. Harris, Editor of the New York News, appears to be of the opinion that Governor Smith is against the elevation of any present colored officers of the regiment to higher posts, or the appointment of any additional colored officers. Equity Congress believes that, Editor Harris is in error, and that we may expect to receive the Governor's most thorough consideration of its petition. We believe that we may further expect his decision to be fair and favorable, and based solely on the merits of the case, without regard to his future political aspirations. It will be noted that the regiment has consistently had help from Democratic sources, but unfortunately the Republican Legislatures, from which we naturally expected the most assistance, have in point of fact rendered the least. Speaker Charles H. Eagle emphasizes that Equity Congress is not a political, but a racial organization. The Speaker and his able lieutenants, Messrs. Morse, Linton, and Toppin, are devoting almost all of their time to this underlaking; and the Congress stands as a unit behind them. We lay our cards on the table, regardless of political parties or organizations, and we make our fight in behalf of the race. We commend the Editor of the "Amsterdam News" for the editorial in his Times of January 18. He wielded a transthem pen, and verily indeed, there is not a real red-blooded man among us who would not take an ostrate pride in seeing a Negro escolled evigating down Fifth avenue at the head of his regiment. We have a right to see it, and we are going to see it, too. Equity. Congress again pledges itself to expend every ounce of energy in the fight to bring about this accomplishment. On battlefields, at home and abroad, the black soldier has shown his military prowess and valor. He has shown his mettle and won his spur, but in the past under white leadership. The day is now come, since the fates still decrees that there must be black regiments when we propose to continue to show the same prowess, the same valor, the same mettle, but under black leadership. We fight for the honor and welfare of our entire country, not for any particular race or group, and we demand that State and nation open wide to us the doors of the military training schools and the officers training camps, so that we may equip ourselves to lead in the future as we have followed in the past. The public is invited to cooperate with us in this great movement. Our meetings are held on every Sunday from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at our regular Congress.

FRANK CRANE In the New York Evening Journal When Leonid Krassin, the new Soviet Envoy, came to Paris, the other day, he was greeted in a speech by a Communist Deputy by the words: "The proletarian revolution has arrived in Paris, but we still have to fight as our brothers did in Russia." A crowd of several hundred cheered this statement, and, upon indication of disorder, it was dispersed by the police. There will be no revolution in Paris. Revolutions are caused by somebody sitting on the safety valve. At present, under the French government, there is a good deal of liberty of action. The best result of liberty is that it is a prevention of revolution. When people can talk all they please, and set about as they please, under certain restrictions, they are not inclined to revolt. It is only when pressure is put upon them and there is an effort to batten down the hatches, so to speak, that revolution occurs. Incidentally, the furs and jewels of Mr. Krassin and his party of ladies inside of the station were in strange contrast to the poorer dress of the Communists without. Few people realize that Russia is not only in the hands of a Government, but is also substantially in the hands of intense fanatics. The Government works hand in hand with the "international." Its vowed purpose is to create dissatisfaction and revolution in other Governments. This feeling amounts almost to a religion. Russia is not only anxious to conduct its own affairs properly, but to make every other nation conduct its affairs in a way that suits her. It is essential to price on earth to let every nation do as please. The disposition of the Russians to interface with the fundamental principles of other nations is a substantial cause of trouble. There are two ways of going at the matter of achieving the unity of the world. One is to let every nation do as it pleases, and the other is to make all nations conform to the ideas of some certain one. The latter can never be accomplished, as it is impossible. The idea of the ruling of the world on the American plan—that is, the plan of federation, where every nation is to mind its own affairs and cooperate with the others—is entirely possible, but the idea of making every nation accept the principles of Government of some one special nation is out of the question. Russia asked to be let work out her own salvation, and she should be willing to let other nations do the same. (Copyright, 1925, by The McClurk.

The public evidenced its interest in the league's program by contributing nearly $40,000 during the past year. NORMOUS PUBLIC DEBT OF THE UNITED STATES Totals $30,845,626,000 and Averages $1,500 Per Family — National Debt Twenty Times Greater Than in 1912; State Debts Three Times Greater— Heavy Tax Burden (From the New York World) Net public debt as figured by the Census Bureau is gross debt less suck- ing funds and cash assets on land, and for the United States and its political subdivisions compares as follows for a ten-year period: NET PUBLIC DEBT 1922 1912 National . $22,155,856,000 $18,544,000 States . $35,514,000 $34,942,000 Localities . $154,196,000 $147,954,000 107411 ... 200,483,626,000 ... 4,180,850,000 The increases are all staggering. The national debt is up more than twenty times from 1912 and is all explained by our comparatively brief participation in the great war. But State debt is nearly three times what it was in 1912, and the increase, aside from soldier-benus borrowings, is largely explained by the rage for highway and other internal improvements. Municipal indebtedness has more than doubled and reflects the expanding activities of the public authority in local fields of government. Along with, in 1922, our public debt was nearly seven times greater than ten years before, and after making all allowances for the depreciation undergone by the dollar of account the increase is still tremendous. Bring the total nearer home. In 1912 it amounted to less than $50 per man, woman and child. In 1922 it was $283.70 per capita. For the average family of five it was $248.85 in 1912, and in 1922 had gone up to $1,415.50.

BLACK AND WHITE CANS 40£ BIG GREEN CANS. 25£ THE NEGRO IN CITY LIFE AND HIS WELFARE Dr. John Hope and Columnist Heywood Broun Address 2,000 at Annual Meeting of the New York Urban League That the Urban League has only begun to realize its responsibility to the Negro in America, was the leading thought advanced by Dr. John Hope, president of Mirehouse College, at the annual meeting of the New York Urban League, at Salem Church, in New York City, Sunday afternoon. "Heywood Brouin of the New York World, speaking on "The Fellips and Racial Fetition" ventured the prediction that a Negro would come whose genius and influence will be so great that it will catch the imagination of the world and cause the disabilities of his race to disappear, "Roland Hayes," said he, "has done much to dispel from the minds of thousands the inferiority complex. All real great humanizations movements have followed the wake of some great soul. This man may already be born or life may be born any moment. When he comes the day is yours." Jo. Hope declared that the Urban League is the greatest agency so far projected for the betterment of colored people in cities. "The significant word in the name Urban League is it dominant, it indicates the recognition for the first time of a new trend in Negro population. It will recently from 20 to 30 per cent of the Negro population was living in the country. In spite of all broadwaps the country Negro succeeded. Then almost suddenly a movement toward the city occurred. Some few people, whites and colored, were discerning enough to forecast the dire need that might come to those country dwellers as they trekked city-word. Furthermore, they realized the great possibilities that existed for these new city folk if some concerted effort was made to get them employment, house them, and help them generally to find themselves in this new environment—this new world. The result of this Urban League venture is that people, white and colored, have been made to think of the city-dwelling Negro. But much of this improvement has been merely material, and perhaps we have been too satisfied to reflect on this simple food—clothes aspect of our life; as if life were more food and clothes. The spiritual and practical advantage of Christ was that life is more than meat and the body more than rament; and one important part of this divine message is this, that those who make of life only food and clothes will soon and themselves even physically hungry and naked. The Urban League, therefore, to accomplish its greatest task, must turn all this economic advantage into the building of sterling character among Negroes. The city Negro has yet to show that he will be a builder. The country Negro has faced the devastation of nature and the hostility of human beings, and still carried on; so that when he came to the city he often brought the price of a home, the courage of a pioneer, and proceeded to make the most of his new environment. Will the Negro in the city face his advantages and handicaps and do as well? He will not be able to do it alone. The Urban League has depending upon it the success or failure of millions of people seeking improvement in an entirely new environment and vocation. We talk about the Harlem attitude, the Harlem point of view. But there are no great fundamental differences between Harlem and other groups of city Negroes; and in this thing Harlem needs to learn in this, that while it may supply temporary protection, the proper outcome ought to be that Negroes in that group will learn to wail ```markdown ``` DEALERS. EVERYWHERE ARE SELLING IT AT THE OVERWHELMING RATE OF MORE THAN A MILLION PACKAGES YEARLY. must be easily $1,500 by new, for outside of the Federal Government we are still plunging into public debt. The little matter of Mayor Hylan's proposed borrowing of $275,000,000 on new subway account, for example, would alone add $20 to New York city's debt per family. This greatly increased public debt means greatly increased taxation. To increase it further is to increase taxation further, and it is continuing to increase. Merely to carry it as it is imposes a great tax weight upon industry and upon everybody. Gradually to pay it off as it is imposes a still greater weight. To go on adding to it is to go on piling up the burden. And we are going right on. When will it stop? WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Prohibition forces in the House of Representatives moved today to surround violations of the prohibition enforcement act with more than ordinary terrors. A bill, introduced by Representative staller (R. N. Y.), and reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee, having the support of the ultra-dry bloc, makes all violations of the prohibition law subject to a jail sentence. Hereditary fines and jail sentences have been optional with the court, but the new bill provides "and" (m) prisonment. Mr. Staller represents a Northern New York district, and has been recognized as an ardent dry. He has just been elected to a second term. A consolation is offered to the farmer who manufacturers "his own" on his premises. The bill exempts manufacturing "non-intoxicating cider or fruit juices" for use in the home of the maker. Among other things the bill provides that "any room, house, building, boat, vehicle or structure or place where intoxicating liquor is manufactured, sold, kept or bartered in violation-of (the act) and all intoxicating liquor and property kept and used in maintaining the same, is hereby declared to be a common nuisance, and any person who maintains such a common nuisance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than $300 nor more than $1,000 and be imprisoned for not less than ninety days or more than one year.

Gives Greatest Hope to the Race LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, February 1.—The huge gathering in Liberty Hall tonight gave evidence of the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is drawing into its ranks more than ever the larger proportion of Negroes in New York, who because of the persistent efforts which are being put forward by the organization through the vision and foresight of its leaders, to raise the status of the race commercially and industrially and at the same time keep the world informed of its aspirations to a nationhood on the continent of Africa, are convinced that of all the Negro organizations extant, there is none other than the Universal Negro Improvement Association that gives the greatest hope of endurance until the program which it has mapped out for racial uplift and betterment shall have been fulfilled. A musical program of unusual excellence was rendered tonight and the U. N. I. A. band, which has developed to a high state of efficiency, rendered some lively music that afforded the audience a great deal of entertainment. The Hon. Marcus Garvey was the principal speaker of the evening and delivered a masterful speech on the subject, "What More Can We Do?" The burden of his speech was an attempt to bring to the attention of the Negroes of the world what their combined strength can accomplish in the way of doing big things that will give them a higher rating in the eyes of the world, and break down the barriers of prejudice that have been placed against us. The recognition which the race had received since the launching of the S. S. Booker T. Washington by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, he said, gave proof of the contention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that the prejudice of this country and the world against the race is not because of our color, but because of our condition. When we can put ships on the ocean, he declared, and run railroads across the country and do all the big things that other races are doing, the world will forget that we are of any particular color and will deal with us on an equal basis. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower In a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and Aloe Oil, together with peroxid, other oxidative bases, we are making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually hardening hair to great depth and mata ones.

MARCUS GARVEY spoke us follows: My subject for tonight is "What More Can We Do?" I have selected this subject because of my looking over the crowd that comes into Liberty Hall and observing the few in the great majority who have done and are doing their best, not only for the promotion of the idea or ideal for which we stand, but for its ultimate success, admitting of no disappointment and accepting of no discouragement. When those of us who lead look into the faces of such people and by the way I may say, we find that not only in Liberty Hall, but not only in New York, but we find it everywhere that we come in contact with the University KILLS ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER GERMS IN THREE DAYS Famous New Discovery, Asthma - Tabs, Succeeds After Everything Else Had Failed—Used by Thousands SENT FREE TO PROVE THIS No matter whether your case is of long standing or recent development, no matter how troubled with any form of addiction, Play Fever, shortness of breath, I want to show you how I can help.

Why the Great Difference When we come to weigh the service rendered by the tew that I spoke of the balance is uneven. 'When it is considered that those people who have done their best and should continue to do their best are no different in their condition, and in their cause for service than the great multitude that seems yet to cause. Sometimes we ask ourselves why this difference, why one Neuro in the midst of all that we are suffering from as a race will continuously do more than another Neuro who suffers the same effects, who suffer the same results, because of the same or similar conditions and environmental, and it seems a paradox, seems almost that you cannot understand. And in the midst of the same appeal, in the midst of the same call for service and daily we find this great difference. Sometimes we ask if it is a difference of soul or a difference of mind. Maybe it is a difference of soul, and probably it is a difference of mind. But, whatsoever the difference is, I want those of you in Liberty Hall who listen to me tonight to understand and to know that there should be absolutely no difference between us as a people in our enthusiasm, in our determination to do in achieving the things that HOW TO CONTROL OTHERS How to win love and friendship, make some sense, get here and happiness out of life.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925. mean so much to all of us as a race, because the question is something that is common to all of us, and if there is to be success it is a success that will be common to all of us. You may say that this difference has existed long before the Universal Negro Improvement Association came into existence in the life, and history of human affairs. I will admit it. I will admit that in the enthusiasm that made America the great nation that she is today not all the American people joined in the spirit of the American Revolution. I will admit that the great wave of liberalism that made France a republic and changed the spirit of the monarchy was not a spirit that was indulged in by all of the French people. Yet, all of the people benefited therefrom. And even in our largest and greatest movements we find a great lack of support on the part of the majority, while the benefits accrue to the majority and not to the few. So that we get some satisfaction for those who seem to do more in Liberty Hall, those who seem to do more in the Universal Negro Improvement Association than others. It seems to be a human burden that must be borne by the few for the benefit of the many, and that is why some of us feel it a pleasant duty to do our best for the accomplishment of the great work that we have dedicated ourselves to do. Sometimes we ask "What more can we do?" And that question is generally answered by ourselves in execling ourselves more energetically and giving ourselves in greater devotion to the cause of the organization that we so much love. On the other hand we have others cold at heart, more or less quite indifferent, who would do nothing to help, but who seem ever willing and anxious to take credit for the work done by the tew who have always stuck by us. Entering on a New Phase Entering on a New Phase The association has entered upon a new phase in her life and in her existence; she has opened up a new chapter not only in her own history, but a new chapter in the history of the Negro race by the success attending the launching of our first ship. For we have written this chapter not only in the life of our association, but we have written this chapter in the growing modern history of this race of ours. The launching of the ship would seem a simple thing in the tremendous movement of world forces. When we think of one ship and the great tomage afloat, it seems so insignificant but the launching of a ship is something beyond the ordinary. - Accomplishment of a Great Effort If we were belonging to the already progressive groups, to the already dominating groups of people in the world, then there would not be much signif'ic' near to the launching of a ship at all; but it becomes novel, it becomes impure because it reflects the effect of a "just out of bondage, a race that has lost its hope, a race that has lost its standing, a race that has lost its self-respect, a race that had been almost relegated to the back heap of human recognition and human importance. When we study the history of the Negro in the Western World we will naturally conclude that the launching of the "Booker T. Washington" two weeks ago was the accomplishment, the high accomplishment, the mastery' accomplishment of a great effort. It was no ordinary thing, even though some of us who expected so much from the Universal Negro Improvement Association by way of magical accomplishments and achievements did not see honor and glory in what was done, the outside world not of our race but of other races is cognizant of the fact that we did something that stands out more than ordinary in our growth as a race and in our history as a people. The effort of launching a ship, is the demonstration of the seriousness of a race or a nation to make itself. A Splendid Start The history of the world records and shows that every race, every people and nation that ever started toward the goal of greatness went the way we started two weeks ago in our new program for the organization's next seven years. There is no nation today of any importance, that did not make the start as we did with the "Booker T. Washington," and there is not one of them in existence today that started under the auspices we did two weeks ago. The maritime history of Greece, the maritime history of Rome, the maritime history of Carthage, the maritime history of France, of England and of Germany has absolutely nothing by way of a maritime start to compare with the effort we made today two weeks ago in New York city. If you go back to the Carthaginians, if you go back to the Romans, to the Greeks, to the French or the English you will find them starting hundreds of years ago with primitive implements in the direction of the development of maritime commerce or maritime industry. When England launched her first ship it was nothing to be compared with the "Booker T. Washington" that we launched two Sundays ago; when France launched her first ship, when Greece and the other nations of which I have spoken launched their first ship, these ships were nothing to be compared with the up-to-date, with the modern ship that we launched two Sundays ago. By patience, by skillful determination, by that patience that is necessary for the growth of anything that we endeavor to take interest in, the English people after centuries were able to build up the best merchant marine business in the world, France and the other countries that I have named, by patience, gradually developed and developed until the start they made hundreds of years ago-reflected credit on them, being the masters of a situation that will insure contact with the world. By this same patience we as a people must expose to reach the pinnacle that we hope to attain; but the trouble with some of us is that we have absolutely no patience and we can only age the Universal Negro Improvement Association achieving success, we can only see the crowning glory of this movement by some immediate demonstration; and, because of the inability of the organization to produce that immediate demonstration we lag behind in our efforts. While on the part of the tew that I mentioned we have before our eyes the time when success will crown our every effort in the same as it crowned the efforts of the ancient Britons, the Romans, the Carthaginians, the Greeks, who had in their minds the time when their countries would rise from small beginnings to become great maritime powers. The small beginning was midderived for the Frenchmen in seeing before him the time when France would become a great maritime power; and that patience that was accepted by the ratters of our present-day civilization is the same patience that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro force must accept before we can come into the full glory of the things we are hoping and working for. Eliminate Selfishness I know that there are loyal ones before me tonight listening to me and asking yourselves what more can you do in service to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in service to this race of ours, in service to your efforts. My answer is an appeal to you to come to a realization of what you can do for yourselves and for posterity, realize that there is something to live for more than ourselves. If we could only eliminate solitude from the hearts of the majority of us we would be better prepared for a new life, we would be better inspired with the great hope of African redemption that we superficially have before us. Life is made happy, existence is made sweet and comfortable by being able to show that we have done that much for someone, that we have done that much for humanity, that we have done that much for the good of a righteous cause. And that is the spirit that impels those of us who serve the Universal Negro Improvement Association. What the tew of us have done for the good of the race it should be as easy for others to do as we have made a sacrifice in doing. And that is what we Negroes all over the country, all over the world to realize. It is peculiar to find how foolish and ignorant some of our people are to their own progress and to themselves. Mr. Garvey at this point related an incident which occurred in Norfolk when the Fooker T. Washington arrived there, and while the white people took it seriously and admired the progress, which colored people were making there were some Negroes, who tried to make a pose at it and to doubt that the ship was owned by Negroes. This he said, "want to show how Negroes stood in their own way even when the people against whom they tried out for liberation are willing to choose that Negroes were doing well. Laughing at Themselves Laughing at Themselves Continuing, he said: That is characteristic of a large, majestic—the people who laugh at themselves; and if you want to see the truth of it you can go to any theatre and let some white man appear on the stage with his face blackened and red on his lips and start to say something funny and Negrous will all laugh; laughing at your own celebrity and expect the world as going to respect you and appreciate the efforts that we make to uplift ourselves. It para the patience of the who are trying to serve when we see this importance around us. The best the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can do is to educate the communities in which we live irrespective of what those communities say and do by way of riddle, because all real service to humanity brings with it riddle, whether it is in religion, whether it is in civil life or in any moral parent, service to humanity always brings riddle, And so we who are serving are not discouraged, one bit because of this riddle. Negerloshes we are human beings and we would like to know that our people are helping us to make the burden lighter. In the effort that we need to launch that ship, we went one step further, and tonight I am appealing to the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world to let us unite our forces as never before, as those 3,500 have done in getting the S. S. Booker T. Washington, so that we can secure other ships and place them on the high seas and got the credit for the race as we got a couple of weeks ago when, we started out to again place ships on the sea. In another couple of hours the Booker T. Washington will be in the harbor of Havana, and I feel that the steaming of that ship into Cuba will bring to the people of Cuba the same prestige as it brought to us here in New York when we launched it. Condition. Not Color Condition, Not Lost. I would like to repeat what I have already said about my visit to Norfolk. Our stewardship agent in Norfolk is a prominent white man—one of the most respected citizens of Norfolk. On my arrival in Norfolk last Monday afternoon, I was introduced to him as the agent of our corporation, because I had sent an advance agent down there to make arrangements. That white man represents the spirit of Virginia. He is a Virginian over 65 years; he repre sents the best blood of the South, but because of the fact that we were doing business and that we had not gone to him in the old-time way with a prayer book under our arm, with a long coat and a black slouch that begging for charity—because we had not gone to him that way, the respect that that man had for us was a respect that he would have had or any member of his own race; the courtesy that he showed us in dealing with us was the courtesy that he would have extended to his own race; there was absolutely no prejudice displayed by him, which proved that the contention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is right when we say that the prejudice of the world against you and against me is not because of our color, but because of our condition. That white agent in Virginia was willing to show me the utmost courtesy and respect, because there was a Negro doing big business with him. That is an indication of the tremendous possibilities of this race of ours. If we turn our energies in the right direction we are going to break down not only in this country, but all over the world, any barrier that have been erected against us, not by showing how many churches we can build, but by showing the world what our commercial possibilities are, and we will break down the prejudice of the world by our ability to do big things with the rest of the world. (Applause). When you can put ships on the ocean, run railroads across the country, put up big warehouses at one seaport and another seaport, when you can bring the commodities that the world wants, the world will forget that you are, of any particular color and deal with you on an equal basis. In Big Business So that the Universal Negro Improvement Association in this new year is determined to do big business on a big scale, and that is why we want you to get behind the effort that we have made in launching the Booker T. Washington-selling out of New York and coming back to New York naturally must bring us in contact with the biggest institutions of the country. When the ship was to sail from New York, naturally we had to place insurance on her. The very fact that we had a ship to sail was reason why we had to get in touch with the big insurance companies. We remained right at 56 West 135th street and got in communication by telephone with the insurance companies down town and in the space of 24 hours we had placed her insurance. Our contact with the big insurance companies gave us a rafting we had never had before. The fact that we had to buy 1,000 tons of coal to put in the ship's bunkers gave the Negro a rafting in the coal business, that he never had before, from the time the first slave landed in Virginia where in the history of American have you ever heard of a Negro buying 1,000 tons of coal. All that goes to show the rising possibilities of the race. That is only one ship; suppose we had 100 ships as we should have and as we can have it all the Negroes got and did well what 3,360 of us did by buying the Booker T. Washington. Suppose we had 100 ships; instead of buying 1,000 tons of coal we would be buying several thousand tons; instead of paying insurance on one ship we would be placing insurance on 100 ships; and tell me what race in the world would not respect another race who is spending millions of dollars for insurance and thousands of dollars buying coal and other commodities that are necessary to put ships on the ocean. Condition Must be Improved It is not our color, but our condition that has kept the world prejudiced against us and we can only remove that prejudice by improving our condition which the Universal Negro Improvement Association through efforts of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. has set out to do. And tonight I am appealed to you to do your duty not only in Liberty Hall but all over this country, and Ketu has got behind this project and see to it that it is put over in the proper way. Some of you think that we have accomplished all in the launching of a ship, but we have only made a start. As I said this afternoon we have to get behind the corporation and give it enough capital to buy cargoes in South and Central America and the West Indies to bring back to the United States of America. It is in that way that we have to connect ourselves with true relationship to get the results that are necessary to build up this institution that we have. (Applause.) If in this age of growing intelligence and materialism we do not learn the lesson of reciprocity, we will have none other to blame than ourselves.—Newport News Star. IF U DON'T C CONSULS DR.

No race is without faults which tend to retard its progress. But the Colored American, because of his age and experience, suffers most of all because of certain faults. One fault race business men have—a fault which does much to retard their progress and to hamper their success—is one which comes as a result of being "Negro rich." Speaking generally, let a Negro start in business, and as soon as he gets to the point where he can pay his expenses and still have a surplus, a high price automobile and a diamond or so; he is too important to attend to the little things which are, in the main, responsible for his success. For a crass example: Tillie goes over to a white grocery to buy her heavy kitchen supplies, but runs into a grocery store owned by a Negro to purchase a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread. Because she does not buy all her supplies from the Negro, he does not want to sell her the milk and the bread—and tells her so. Of course it is known that he has more than bread and milk to sell and that the profit on these two items is insufficient to cover his overhead expenses. But by being discounted to Tillie, he casts aside all hopes of ever gaining all her kitchen trade. If on the other hand, he should treat her courteously make her feel, by his congeniality, that it is a pleasure as well as a profit to serve her—even to a bottle of milk—he will, if the course of time, make not only a profit of two or three cents on her daily or weekly purchases, but will increase that profit many, many fold. And at the same time he will gain other customers through her as a satisfied customer. Not only is this true in the grocery business, but is equally true in every other business in which Negroes are engaged. A man goes into a barber shop for a shave, but because he allows a special barber, and him alone, to cut his hair, other barbers do not care to shave him. Seemingly, they do not realize that to do so would increase their receipts fifteen cents or perhaps, at another time, more; nor do they know that each and every one has a right and a privilege to spend his or her money where and where it is a legal tender. In business you cannot possess a more profitable attribute than the ability to create in each customer a desire to deal with you. A satisfied customer is the best, most profitable type of advertisement you can have. It is your greatest assurance for success. For the sake of your business, you may at times be required to lose a few cents in order to save a particular person a trade and the trade of those whom this person may influence. Catering to the public, upon whom the business man is dependent, covers a broad scope. Little does the business man realize the effect, the consequences, produced when he tells a customer he has not the product demanded; and especially when this same customer seeks more than once without avail to purchase the same product. He should not allow a demand to go unnoticed. He should supply him off with a small quantity of the product demanded. By so doing he will, in a short course of time, get the public in a habit of coming in even though a small profit is made, he at least makes quick sales. Therein lies the secret; quick sales, although small profits. But instead of so doing, our business, men will allow a firm to load them down with a product for which they have but few calls, merely, because they can save a small discount by buying in large quantities. In reality they lose, for they have neither the fund nor the space for other products. Worse still, they lose or fail to gain other customers. Wake up. You are fast asleep in a wide-awake world. Replace your old habit with that of the Jew: create in the public a desire to deal with you by being courteous, polite, congenial and coor ready to convince your patrons that their interest is yours. Save the Drunkard (Written by a woman who saved her husband from the drinking evil) My man is very good to me, So loyal, kind and true. He never comes home really drunk, As they always do. But sometimes, when he's "get too much," I wish that I were dead. For there is no sunshine in my heart. When moonshine in his head. Some folks can laugh at such a slight Of some poor drunken fool. To me there's naught but aching heart And, yet, he husts a soul. And, when he had just "one too many," I fear that we must part, For when the sunshine in his head There's no sunshine in my heart. Within the garden of my life, I am the garden of my life. But now I fear the lightest deet. And love must come to naught I will not be naught to naught. He will think how off he said. "There's no sunshine in my heart deet. When there's a mountain in your heart" I read the book "The National Curse" And I used the "Golden Treatment" To break the falling chains I will go to the mountain again In feed from Saturn's urine.

Name St. Address R. F. D. City A Very Timely Discussion of the Feminine Tendencies of the Times That Is Making Themselves Felt in the Life of the Race This formidable array—K. K. K. K—does not signify the fourth dimension of the Ku Klux Klan, as the cacophonous aggregation of Ks might suggest, but rather an assemblage of the essential feminine functions, according to the philosophy of the late Emperor of Germany. The deposed despot used to be fond of saying that woman should confine her energies to "Kinder, Fuchs, Kleider Kirche," which, being translated into English means: "Children, Kitchen, Clothes and Church." The chief object of this proletarian policy was to produce soldiers to fight for the state and workers to feed the fighters. Under the stimulus of this idea the German multiplied in numbers and increased in power still she became easily the first state in Europe. On the other hand, France has followed the will-o-the-wisp of the "sage female," which has reduced her population to the verge of extermination. These rival countries contain about the same area. The early start and prestige were in favor of France. A hundred years ago she had more than twice the population of Germany. But today the more prolific race has not only outstripped her sterile rival in population, but has surpassed her in every feature of material and substantial power. During the World War France could no more have stood alone against Germany than a piggy against a giant. Even today, if the allies should go the Teuton nation could master the Gaul with one hand tied behind her back. This relative superiority is undoubtedly due to the temperative fecundity of the two nations. The most fundamental problem before the human race today is the problem of sexes. It transcends in importance the issues of race, the adjustment of capital and labor, or the conflict of creeds. Historically, woman has been treated as the inferior and subordinated set. Woman has been dominated and exploited for the selfish uses of the more lordly male members of the species. She has been fondled as a toy, a tool or a plaything. Man has never taken her seriously as a competitor or as a coworker. But in this progressive age the whole basis of sex relationship is being reformed. Women are asserting their claims, as a co-equal with man. She is fast becoming a factor to be felt in industry, education and in politics. The biological function of the female is to bear their children, which, if effectively performed, will necessarily engage the chief energies of the SWAMP-ROOT FOR KIDNEY AILMENTS There is only one medicine that really stands out pre-omment as a medicine for curable ailments of the kidneys, liver and bladder.

No scheme of philosophy or social-reform can alter this basic responsibility imposed by nature from the foundation of the world of living things. The liberalization of woman must always be kept within the boundary fixed by nature. Tampering with the decrees of nature jeopardizes the very continuance of the human race. 'Anyone who stands athwart, the path of the advancement of woman may rightly be called a fossil or a mossback. One had just as well stand against the movement of the stars in their courses as try to keep woman in her traditional and accustomed place. Indeed, a mere man is risking his composure and peace of mind when he even ventures to discuss these things. I have laid this broad basis for a limited superstructure. Indeed this is the penalty which I am constantly paying for being black. I find myself in possession of a world mind limited to special racial environment. When I would essay a universal theme I am soon reminded of the narrowness of its application. And I must not now discuss the subject of sex in its general bearing upon human welfare, but must limit the thesis to the special situation of the Negro race. Just as the sex problem is the greatest question which engages the attention of mankind, so it is of paramount importance in relation to the racial community now under discussion. The Negro woman labors under the double disadvantage of belonging to the weaker sex and to the weaker race. Her status and its betterment therefore form a problem of deepest social concern. Her progress has been marvelous, whether measured from the starting point or by the high place which she has attained in our social scheme. Indeed, so rapid has been her advancement along the line of general progressive movement that we have neglected the inquiry as to how far she has failed in the essential function of motherhood. Whatever other attainment the sex may achieve it will all prove to be but racial vanity and vexation of spirit if there is failure in this high and holy function. The time has come for Negro statesmanship to study carefully and to think soberly upon these things. Several years ago I undertook a study in eugenics, based upon the 55 colored members of the Howard University faculty. In the families from which these teachers were derived there were 363 children, or an average of 6.5 for each family. On the other hand, these 55 teachers so far have contributed 37 children or an average of 0.7 of a child for each potential family. Twenty-two were married and 33 single. The number of children to each family so far formed as 1.6. Four of the families were barren, and four had one child each. The average age of the single members was over 32 years, which clearly indicated that even if they should subsequently marry their offspring would be few. From a wide acquaintance with the upper section of the Negro race under a variety of circumstances and conditions, I am fully persuaded that the Howard University group is typical of the like element throughout the race, so far as secuity is concerned. A study of the teachers in the public schools of Washington' the physicians, lawyers and other educated groups would tell the same sterile story. The teachers in the public schools are mainly women who fall to marry for economic reason. About ten years ago, the Washington School Board passed a regulation by which a female teacher might retain her position in the schools after marriage. Since that time, a great many have availed themselves of the opportunity. But the number of children resulting from such maturing is practically negligible. The city of Washington is filled with bachelors and old maids. The number of childless families is astounding. One or two children constitute the average. I wish to call upon observers in other communities to look into local situations, and determine for themselves if the picture which I have painted of Washington does not apply throughout the country. The cause, is obvious. The prolonged period of education delays marriage. The high standard of living which the forward looking Negro feels that he is forced to observe causes still further delay. The frantic endeavor to keep the pace set by the more favored race militates to the same end. The conscious purpose of race outside also contributes somewhat to the low birth rate. There are many of sensitive and timid spirit who shirk the responsibility of parenthood because they do not wish to bring Negro children into the world with the birthmark of prescription branded on their birth. Will this tendency which threatens the extinction of the advanced section of the race continue to spread in the future as at present? Or is it merely first effects of the first generation after alluvium under the severe storm and plains of sudden rainfall? The sudden from the home to the upper floor of life is a bold and intelligent fact that cannot be inaccurately attributable to the magnificent may it be induced from the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 bottom stratum which follows the unlicensed law of instinct. The vacuum in the upper stratum will be filled by the vigorous element pushing up from below. The real danger lies in the fact that the self-destructive tendency will be handed down to the masses. Every communication corrupts social practice as well as good manners. An eminent scientific authority has declared that the human race would speedily become extinct if all women should delay marriage until twenty-six. It is not manly. Adam like, to place the blame on the woman. The male sets the social standard which the female follows. If the small family or no family at all is the prevailing social mode, it is because the male prefers it so. The whole idea is bad. The zest for frivolities and gayeties of the hour tends to defeat the ultimate social aim. We should think in long units of time, and not give over ourselves to the evanescent pleasures that are born and dies in a day. The race should subject itself to serious self-examination. Are the present tendencies laying the basis for a better future or are we building on a foundation of sand? Are we preparing our girls for future motherhood or are they being led astray by self-destructive flippancies? Are our high schools and colleges teaching them the things essential to home and family building? Whatever else a woman may know, her education is sadly deficient if it does not fit her for her essential function in the social scheme. Our newspapers are giving too much attention to crime, frivolous sports, social excrescences, gossip and scandal. The young people whose mind feeds on such things will have poisoned imaginations. The fabric of the family is subtly undermined. The jazz manners, bobbled hair and bobbled dress of our young women do not promise serious future life life. Let me formidable myself. I believe in the enlargement of the woman's sphere. I believe that superior women, equally with superior men, should have the fullest opportunity to develop and exert their higher capacities. I do not believe in the old Puritanic regime for other sex that wars against human nature. I believe in the free play of the spirit giving unhindered scope for the outlet to the playful instincts of youth. I take little stock in the derogation of these degenerate days. I do not believe that the cost of hair or style or style of dress is a co-efficient of character, nor that girlish liveliness is inconsistent with womanly loveliness and worth. But I do believe, with an unshakable conviction, that our women are venturing too far from the four K's—Kinder, Kuche, Kleider, Kirchle. WEEKLY SERMON By G. EMONEI CARTER Subject: "Secure Building." Text: "Again, I will build thee, and thou shalt be built."-Jer. xxvl. 4. The text implies that in the life of Israel some building had been done by some one. And this building had been largely "jerry-building," but the time had arrived when a "Master-mind" would direct the building. To insure a durable building it is necessary that its guiding intelligence should be of the highest, and that which was true in the life of the Israelites is true in the life of our people. I. A right foundation is essential. Superstructures endure, withstand and remain in proportion to the lasting, hardiness and durability of its makeup. Any building that crumbles and falls has had its foundation lines insecure. Any race or nation that builds on an uncertain foundation is sure to fail. Truth and righteousness are essential as foundation elements, and without these little can be accomplished that even savors of permanency. The foundation must certainly conform to the lines of the superstructure. That is to say, a square building cannot rest on a circular foundation, nor can a triangular superstructure fit a rectangular base. So it is with races and nations. Square actions circumvent circular movements, and triangular doings are misfit in rectangular requirements. What we want and what we must have in our foundation laying is proper management or guidance, as well as the necessary elements to insure safety. I plead for a laying aside of selfishness and a daily manifestation of liberal, Christian sacrifice. I plead not a lost cause but a cause that is sorely neglected, because men delight in doing the easy things, whether building or what not. Our race is to be fully emancipated. The right foundation is to be laid. Jehovah-God is to be the cornerstone, and upon this Rock everlasting we can build with security. Upon this Rock we can weather every storm. Upon this Rock we can refuge when the flames of persecution are sweeping o'er our, pathway. Upon this Rock we can anchor when the tides of destruction ascend in their turbulency. Here we rest until the storm has subsided and our foundation has been tested in the most severe manner.

Dutton & Company. $3. AMONG THE BRAHMINS AND PARIAHS. By J. A. Sauter, Translated from the German by Bernard Miall. Bont & Liveright. $3. These two volumes, both dealing with present day India, are far apart in spirit and purpose. Dhan Gopal Mukerji is a native of India, a Brahmin, who for twelve years has studied and absorbed the West. Not unsympathetically he has lived the life of Europe and America, but, with all its creature comforts, there is something lacking in his soul. The longing to go back to his native land, to seek there the spiritual satisfaction which the West has denied him, fills his heart. Appreciating the benefits of Western material progress, Mr. Mukerji is persuaded that India, in her spirituality has a greater gift for mankind than anything that Western science has produced. With all his Western training he remains enough of a Brahmin to believe that this spirituality, this contemplation in the immediate presence of the soul, is a possession far surpassing all Occidental values. Just before reaching India, Mr. Mukerji has a conversation with an Arab. They agree in condemning the barrenness of Occidental speech. They miss such Oriental epithets as "Soul of excellence," "Thou Jewel of speech," "Thou Very Self of Felicity," and when Mr. Mukerji tells his companion that an American gentleman of his acquaintance called his wife "Honey" the Arab was sad indeed. "What dumbrek! Even love cannot set fire to their tongue." Inspired, perhaps, by this conversation, the author strives mightily to ornament his English phrases with these jewels of Oriental speech. He achieves much the same effect as would a gentleman in golf togs by adorning himself with the rubles and diamonds of a maharalah. But this is manner. In the matter of the book there is much to record and the reader. India's new appreciation of the leaders against Britain is interesting. The author describes his brother as a man of serene nobility, deep in his religious meditation, in which there is no trace of fanaticism and with no suspicion of rancour in his heart. Yet he was the head of the militant Nationalists of India, a political rebel and for six years a fugitive. To the British he was a "terrorist," a "subverter of law and order" "a monstrous anarchist." But, the brother this his own life story to the end that we may see that he was more of these. German influence and Bolshevik influence are alike scournefully denied. The final proof of his disinterested sincerity comes in his contact with Gandhi. Overcome by the Nathman's spirituality, convinced of the truth of his doctrine of "soul force against sword force," the erstwhile militant rebel disperses his adherents, makes his peace with the British Raj, and becomes a follower of the new prophet. Through the book runs the note of Gandhi worship. If a ship is successfully docked the onlookers about "Victory to Gandhi!" If a play arouses enthusiasm the cry of the audience is "Victory to Gandhi!" With men and women in all walks of life the coming pilgrim talks of the political situation, and all of them, with exceptions so few and so well selected that they but emphasize the approach to unanimity, all are disciples of Gandhi. It is remarkable that a people so wrapped in spirituality and meditation should be so universally keen on politics. The most politically inclined of the nations of the West cannot compare with these dusky sons and daughters of India, however high or lowly be their station. And Gandhi is their prophet. Some indeed are too restless, too much in a Western hurry, to brook the restraints of the muster. The author had "an unforgettable afternoon" with a group of university students. Not a single one of them had any respect for the Western mind. "Civilization comes from the East as does the sun. The West has nothing to teach us." Hindu medicine and chemistry. Hindu mathematics. Hindu music, art, philology, if they are not self-sufficient, have: host as much as the West as the West has given them. And where India herself did not suffer, Chholea, China, Japan were called to redress the balance in favor of the Orient. "Should we how to the Western savage simply because he has the lung power to chout that he is superior? He has invented poison gas, liquid fire, and peace proclamations, then he comes to us, Bible in one hand and hand grenade in the other. Which is savage—he or we?" This sort of talk saddened the returning pilgrim. When these students left he felt "dreamed in melancholy." This was crude, vulgar, of a type with the assumption of certain Westerners that the Nordic race was ordained to rule (as slaves) all other races. Such doctrine waters the seed of war race; arrogant West against arrogant East. But this is not one of the chief influences which are moving India. "Today there are two powerful forces in India: men and Gandhidhan, modern industrialism and the Spirituality of medieval India. The two have come to grips. No one can foretell the outcome. The most peoplexing thing in the struggle is that medievalism is now master of resilience and speed; it may outspread industrialism." We would finger over a holy man's explanation of Wilson's failure at Paris, over Oriental criticisms of Faust, of Hamlet, and over other delighting interludes; we would repeat the biographical version of the Aurora affair; we would tell of the author's visit to Tagore and his newly founded university, but lack of space forbids. In the course of his visit Mr. Mulkey finds much of Western influence to complain of. Mismatched Gothic buildings, ugly London suburban homes, telephones. Forces a misunderstanding of clothing hiding the beauty of brown bodies, some of the results of Christian mission work, the antiquities of the scales of justice between European and native, all the evils in the train of industrial revolution, the commercialization of the Indian arts, factories on the banks of the sacred Ganges, garments and evening dress among the newly Irish and but not least the cinema and substitution of Chopin for Kallidas. Nevertheless, he tries again to the West and, through the nights that blur his vision perceives far away on the horizon that there, too, is the brother's face. If the reader is careful away by Mr. Mukeraj's enthusiasm the potentiality of his native land the antidote is at hand in Mr. Sutter's volume. The author is a German who has wandered so long in India as to be able to make his way into the inner life of the people as few foreigners can hope to do. Here is no preparatory, no polygons, no argument. Mr. Sutter is a traveler after the manner of Ossendowski. While we wonder how many unique and stirring experiences could possibly fall to the lot of one man, the writer's manner, his utter sincerity, convinces us.

Mr. Snutter is gifted with an artist's eye. His pen is the brush of a master. He has painted a series of pictures and hung them for us in the gallery of this book. What excellence of line? What brilliance of color? What artistic intensity? What vivid reality! The earlier scenes depict the serene beauty of the life of the upper caste Hindu. But it is not this by which the artist holds up. He grows in power as he brings before us the wretched, the poignant, the gruppant, even the bloatheous, which has beneath the surface. Being a German he has no compunction—and apparently no malice—in getting forth the shortcomings of the British administration where it comes in contact with the individual native of the masses. The supreme indifference, the explicit heartlessness even the crass brutality of a British police inspector are set out in light colors. Cells, dimensions, klecks and clubs for accused men and old women, while their younger sisters must minister to his host. His mounting wealth on the merger salary of an inspector is derived from tribute levied upon the lawbreakers whom no allows to feed the evil appetites of their followers. Gambling hell, lawfully house and opium den all contribute their share. Even in turn is compounded before us in all its unsettled detail on the mad touch of the aristro.

And last we have not had our even the monkey people are called upon to furnish a scene at once potent and revolting. As we proceed down this gallery we stand to confess how one scene after another repelled yet devastated by the horror it so vividly depicts. The climax is reached in the story called "Buried Alive." Mr. Sutter does not answer Mr. Muktaeng. One can hardly think of him caring to do so. Yet he has vividly depicted a side of Indian civilization Be a My fama ones who Ring known the Goddess of and many Yellers a beautiflut Fashion Geretura (2.

Beginning next Monday and continuing for one week, "Getting Gertie's Garter" will be the attraction at this popular home of up-to-date entertainment. "Gertie's Garter" is another one of those rare andracy. Avery Hopwood effusions, only this time he wrote in collaboration with Wilson Collison, another of our most brilliant writers. Mr. Collison has been responsible for almost as many successful plays as Mr. Hopwood, and when two such master-minds conspire to give Mr. and Mrs. Public something worth while their mental offspring can be absolutely depended upon to give a lusty account of itself. No play, not even "The Demi Virgin," achieved greater success on broadway than did "Gertie's Garter." It ran for nearly two years, that at the Fitzlinge Theatre and later it was moved to another house where capacity business followed it. It is a typical force comedy of French school of farce. Filled to the brim with trite, spicy lines and situations it quickly submerges the audience in an ocean of unsmpressed laughter, followed alternately with thrills and gasps born of its daring. The company to present the "Garter" at the Lafayette will be of the same high degree of excellence as that which so recently presented the "Virgin." in fact there will be many of the same organization in the cast next week. In this case Alonzo Fenderson will be the featured one. He will be assisted by Marle Young in the title part, Rudolph Grey, Marlon Taylor, Bardington Cagney, Daisy Pizarro, Baby Green, and others. Fenderson was made for the part he is to play and his sense of humor is so infectious that it becomes epidemic. It has been sold of Mr. Fenderson that he is the only human being who ever brought a relaxation of the immobility of feature that has lasted through the ages and caused the Sphinx to smile. We cannot verify this report, but we are willing to admit his rare ability as a light comedian. He firmly established this by his work in "The Demi Virgin." The story of "Gifting Gertie's Garter" is more or less an audacious one with the search for this dainty bit of tenemna wearing apparel as the foundation. From this pivotal center radiates screams of laughter in every direction. To tell more of the story here would sound much of the pleasure that comes of surprises and these are endless as the elastic circle itself. There will be the usual daily matinee and evening performances and at the customary Friday midnight performance an extra surprise or two thrown in for good measure. The scale of prices will return to normal and the best seats can be had for $1.00. which now well temper the new arrangement of her university students. The first as much to give, but its needs also are great. Mr. Mukerji might well be "showed to melancholy" in completing this darker side of Indian life. OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 IT has been wisely said that the Negro is his own worst enemy, and in no instance is this more clearly exemplified than in the attitude of the Negro public toward business conducted by members of the race. Transforms Metal Into a Thousand and One Uses and Keeps the World Busy The colored man usually enters big business under the great handicap of inexperience, through no fault of his own; because white men refuse to allow Negroes to rise any higher than porters or laborers in their establishments. The colored man is only permitted to sweep the floors of the executive offices of big concerns and dust the desks; but never to sit in consultation as a director or manager of a department, no matter what his education or ability may be; hence he has no chance to learn practical business methods and the secrets of handling a large concern. By LUCIE WOTTEN Student of a Girl's Trade School I feel that the day's near at hand when industrial education will be recognized as playing a larger part in the progress of the world than hereofs. We have done, much and wrought many miracles in industrial progress, which should be an incentive to young men to further their studies along these lines. Another hardship from which the pioneering business man of the race suffers, is lack of capital. He belongs to a pauper race; he is himself poor compared to the men of the other race who compose his business environment. He goes to the white bank in which he places his money, and lays his plans before the manager, who will listen attentively, lean back in his chair, scratch his head, cough a little, and then remark, "Well, that's a very good idea, and you ought to make money in that line, but it is the policy of our office not to make loans of that sort to colored people." Industrial education has been able to transform metals into a thousand and one uses. Take iron for instance. Think of the many uses to which it is put. From it are made things dainty and things dangerous; carrings and cannon—sword and pin; wheel axle and rail, as well as screw, file and saw. It is bound around the hull of ships and lifted into tower and steepe. It is drawn into wire, coiled into springs, woven into gauze, twisted into rope, and sharpened into needles. It is stretched into a web finer by comparison than the gossamer or the morning along the bed of the ocean, and is made to tick out the yesterday of Europe into the today of America. This bank in question may have over a million dollars of colored people's money deposited in it, yet the colored business man is refused a loan on good security. Mr. Ginsburg, the Jew, walks in after him and is accommodated, as also Mr. Vittorio, the Italian merchant. Why? Because Messrs. Ginsburg and Vittorio if refused accommodation, because of their race, will organize every depositor belonging to their respective races to draw every cent they have on deposit. The result would be a run on the bank. The manager would be compelled to treat with Mr. Ginsburg or Mr. Vittorio or allow his bank to fail. If Mr. Colored Man called his people together and placed the situation before them, before the meeting was over, one "good old white folks" nigger," would go to the manager's house and wake him up to acquaint him of the purpose of the meeting. When Mr. Colored Man walks down to the bank the next day, instead of seeing a few thousand depositors ready to draw their money and place it somewhere else as agreed on at the meeting, he would find, perhaps, two besides himself, and in any event the manager, having been forewarned, strengthened his credit to meet any emergency. This is one of the differences between Jews, Italians and Negroes. All of these varieties of uses have been made possible by the sovereign touch of industrial education. But let us not overlook the fact that education alone cannot accomplish this without special guidance from God, and without drawing on the divine reservoirs of patience, hopefulness, courage and stendiness of mind and nerve. The ability to translate Latin, Greek, mathematics and to master science in all its branches are superficial unless the essence of gentility is present. This quality is the foundation of the greatness of the human family. Mr. Colored Man will next try to get his friends and acquaintances to put their moneys together and invest in the proposed business. They may form a stock selling company as they have not enough money to form a partnership of two or three. The money comes in slowly, five or ten dollars at a time. In three months he collects five thousand dollars, after spending two thousand dollars of his own money for incorporation, office help and travelling expenses. The Negro newspapers start to harass him. They magnify the five thousand dollars he has collected into five hundred thousand dollars. What has he done with the money? Where is the business he promised? Negro preachers, fearing a falling off in their church collections, warn their congregations to stop wasting their money in business ventures, but to lay it on the altar, lay it all at Jesus' feet. Stockholders get dissatisfied and impatient. Some expecting dividends before the business is started. Mr. Colored Man is at a loss to know what to do. He needs more money to buy a real up-to-date business. He may not be able to locate a suitable site. What of that? How many Negro newspapermen are fair enough to let their readers know the handicaps under which their business men operate? How many preachers explain to their congregation their obligations to the pioneers in industry and commerce? We as Negroes must also learn the proper value of organization and union and never cease to remember that an army divided is an army defeated. We will neither hurt the enemy nor help ourselves by firing paper bullets. Those who have not enjoyed the advantages of an education must not be discouraged and believe that they cannot assist in the work of character building for the race. Every man or woman who plays his or her part according to their ability, who bears a respectable name, who is industrious, temperate, upright, law-abiding and devoted to whatever is lovely and of good report, is unconsciously pleading the cause of the race before the great tribunal of the civilized world. HOW THE SCRIPTURE AIDS BASHFUL LOVERS To the Editor of the Woman's Page: Although the church is not the proper place to "pop the question," yet when Dan Cupid gets busy he knows no restricted area. The story goes that a young man was very much in love with a lady, but could never get a chance to tell her of his affections. Sitting in his seat in the choir, he conceived the idea of conversing with her through the Scripture, Opening the Bible, he stuck a pin on the following text and handed same to the young lady, Second Epistle of John, verse 5: "And I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that we had, from the beginning, that we love one another." Mr. Colored Man is so harassed that he is compelled to buy the first business he can lay his hands on, in order to satisfy his critics. The result is that he has not enough money left to equip the business to get the white competitor in his line. His patrons have no sympathy for his efforts. They refuse to buy from him if he cannot sell cheaper than Mr. Ginsberg, whose brother is a wholesale dealer; whose uncle is his landlord, and who gets a loan from his bank to properly stock his store or equip his business. Mr. Colored Man, being mere man, fails, and the Negro newspapers carry big headlines in red, telling the world that Mr. Colored Man failed. The Negro preacher gets up in his pulpit and says, "I told you so, sisters and brothers; colored folks just can't do things right." The sisters in the corner shout "Amen!" The preacher announces that the collection will be taken up. "Yes, the Lord loveth a cheerful giver." She returned the Bible, pointing to the Second chapter of Ruth, verse 10: "Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground," and said, unto him, "Why have I found grace in thine eyes that thou shouldst take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?" What happens to Mr. Colored Man after this? He is abused by the stockholders, some of whom only invested five dollars. Think of it, only five dollars invested in a Negro enterprise for all the forty or fifty years that he lived! Yet, that same individual will go around his neighborhood telling everybody that he lost all his money in that thing. He returned the Bible, pointing to the third Epistle of John, verse 18: "Having, many things to write unto you, I would not write to you with paper and ink, but trust to come unto you and speak, face to face, that your joy may be full." Mr. Colored Man is heart broken. He is misunderstood. He is abused and ridiculed, even called a thief by some. Why, he could have kept his $2,000 in the bank; he could have worked at his old job as Pullman porter, and added to his deposit every month until he was able to buy a little home for his family. But no! He envisioned a little business getting the hearty support and patronage of the members of his race, expanding steadily, employing more Negroes week by week, and teaching them the art of business. Nggro newspapers and teachers encouraging him right along, until he launches out into real big business and is able to pay dividends to his stockholders and receive the gratitude of those whom he employs. Mr. Colored Man is bitterly disappointed; he had no knowledge of the psychology of his raid before he entered business; he learns now, with tears of regret he says, "Lord, if I had known." From the above silent interview a marriage took place the enauling month in the same church. This is a hint to the young folks who are not given an opportunity to talk with each other. Suggestions to Housewives Facecloth made of three thicknesses of white mosquito netting are very satisfactory. They keep white, dry quickly and are especially good when travelling. The Negro who intends to enter into business must make up his mind to meet opposition from within his own race. He must be prepared for discouragements, and be ready to sacrifice his very life in order to succeed. All honor to the men who are clearing the way for better and bigger Negro business. Some day we will realize their contribution to the progress and economical development of the race, and generations to come will bless their memory for having made the sacrifice.

Woman Chief Victim "Men are responsible for the degeneration of women. Woman is the chief victim of civilization, and for this she is indebted to the stupidity of man. For centuries the civilized woman has been subservient to man. Those in whose hands the health of the people has been placed have been both ignorant and selfish. They have completely neglected the thing that matters most—the health of the growing boy or girl.

Left-Handed Men and Women More men are left-handed than women, and people who can use both hands equally well are frequently of superior Intellect. Right-handed people who place their left thumb over their right and interlacing their fingers have a latent tendency toward left-handedness.—Prof. June Downey. Negro Women Should Use the Ballot The women of this country, white and black, have been enfranchised by constitutional enactment. They are now citizens of this State and nation. There is now placed upon them a responsibility before God and their country to exercise their franchise to register and vote. This duty is as solemn and important as praying or going to church, and Negro women will be sinning against themselves, their God, their race and country if they for any reason fail to vote.—Star of Zion. Married Women Must Use Husband's Name "American and conular officials would doubtless very often be placed in a most embarrassing and difficult position if the passport were issued to married women in their maiden name, and such officers were called upon to assist, for instance, a man who is traveling with a woman who does not use his family name yet, claims to be married to him. The department, in view of these and other considerations, does not deem it advisable to deviate from its long-established policy of using the family name of the husband when issuing a passport to a married woman."—Hon. Charles Evans Hughes. HOR-TON-A FOR RESULTS USE THE FAMOUS HOR-TON-A PRODUCTS For HAIR and SKIN Agents Make Big Prosits Write For Booklet EVELYN BORTON MFG. CO. 4188 West Belle ST. LOUIS, MO.

GARVEY PERSECUTED FOR A RACIAL TRUTH To the Editor of The Woman's Pages: The launching of the S. S. Booker T. Washington is a great victory for the Universal Negro Improvement Association over its enemies and traitors. The world is asking itself this question: "What manner of man is this?" Marcus Garvey is the only Negro leader who is sacrificing his life for the uplift of his people. He is not just talking, but is working and planning night and day for the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of the Negroes, all over the world. He is making every effort to provide employment for us, and to educate us to get the best out of life. If more members and enemies of the association would read the preamble to the constitution, they would not say misleading things against the association and malign its leadership. Loyal members ignore idle gossip and ridicule of the organization, knowing that even Christianity was laughed at, and its followers persecuted. Jesus Christ was crucified for a spiritual truth, and Marcus Garvey is being persecuted daily for a racial truth. Women, I am appealing to you to be true to the U. N. I. A. and its principles. Help the man that God has sent to lead us, and pray God's blessing on him and the association. AMERICA EDWARDS. Cincinnati, Ohio.

I am attending school in Hillsboro, Texas. I want to congratulate our Honorable Marcus Garvey for his ability in the handling of this Negro race, rousing them to a sense of their duty, as no man, has done before in the history of the world. Captain Edison C. McVey gave a fine speech in the chapel of the Peabody High School, where I am a student. He told of his experience with airplanes. It takes a mon of that type, who has the will power to go ahead, in order to prove to the world that the Negroes are doing something more than using a "pick and shovel." Where would the white man have been, if it had not been for the Negro boy in the World War, who bravely went to the front? Once more, let me give all due honor to Mr. Garvey, wishing him success in all his undertakings for the benefit of the Negro race. LOTTIE V. M. WAGONER. Hillsboro, Texas. If We Can't Lift Up Ourselves We Are Lost To the Editor of The Negro World: It seems that every other race is looking out for its welfare but the Negro. Way can't we pave our own way?

Why is it that other organizations, whose motto is "Race, Uplift," do not co-operate with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help the race to get somewhere? If the churches would do a little more besides build larger ones, maybe we would have more money to do necessary things.

Some Move About Buying Sugar Lands in Cuba To the Editor of the Negro World: Please permit me space in the columns of your, most valuable paper to say a few words to the purchasing of land in Cuba for sugar cane cultivation. As a student of agriculture, who has resided in that country for fifteen years, during which time several years were spent in their Department of Agriculture, where all technical and experimental works were carried on, I beg to say that, said proposal is a very good one. Cuba offers opportunities for learned, cultured, intelligent and law-abiding Negroes with capital. I wish to State also that sugar cane and tobacco growing are the chief industries of Cuba. They do not know how to grow anything else successfully. Outlining the Province of Havana, the land is very fertile and is adaptable to cocoa and coffee cultivation. Millions of dollars of these are being consumed there every year, and every ounce is imported from Brazil and Puerto Rico. The Cuban's chief beverage is "uma taza de cafe en leche," a cup of coffee with milk, would suggest, that should this proposal be matured, that all the eggs not be put in one basket. With a proper knowledge of the country's laws and language, all will be well for any proper organized Negro syndicate. A. E. SUTHERLAND, 415 N. Mountain View avenue, Los Angeles, Cal.

Kiely, of New York city, announces that information has been received from the Post Office Department at Washington, to the effect that, during the past year money order thieves and fraudsters have been unusually active, and that the greatest number of losses on account of the cashing of spurious orders have fallen on banks, merchants and other business men. It appears that in most instances the losses are due to the fact that the same care is not used in the acceptance of postal money orders as in personal checks or other negotiable paper. In many cases the mere fact that an order is drawn on a form provided for that purpose by the Government is taken as sufficient evidence that it represents a valid obligation on the part of the Post Office Department, regardless of the identity of the person by whom it is presented. Banks, merchants, and other business men are cautioned not to cash postal money orders for strangers unless proper identification is produced.

Jan. 00.—Through the cooperation of the Jukus Rosenwald Fund, 112 buildings for Negro school children have been completed during the present year. The fund has approved 251 additional buildings to be completed before June 30. According to Francis W. Stirpardson, secretary and acting director of the Jukus Rosenwald Fund, it looks as though the 1933-24 record of 485 Rosenwald schools will be broken during the present school year. A report on 2,565 buildings shows that North Carolina recently bed, having 447; Mississippi, 308; Alabama, 293; Louisiana, 239; Virginia, 212; Tennessee, 203; South Carolina, 200. The other seven States ranged downward. These 2,565 buildings, including eighty-seven teachers' homes, had a teacher-capacity of 6,326 and a pupil-capacity of 287,820. The total cost amounted to $10,413,543. Toward this total cost there was given from public funds, $5,682,321; from Negroes, $2,341,917; from Rosenwald Fund, $1,907,177; and from the white people, $12,123. THIRST FOR EDUCATION IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH By KELLY MILLER In the International Review There are six cities in the United States showing an increase of 70 per cent in population. While this rapid growth is due to special causes of limited continuance, yet the numbers are not likely to diminish, but will show a substantial increase with the coming decades. There are six cities in the United States with more than 100,000 Negroes all of which, with the single exception of New Orleans, are to be found north of the Potomac River. The border cities —Washington; Baltimore, St. Louis and Kansas City—have separate colored schools, following the policy of the Southern States. In the other cities on the list there is no scholastic negation of the races. The city is the center of the educational life of the nation. The great systems of education as well as the great seats of learning are to be found mainly in the centers of population. A million and a half Negroes, constituting 15 per cent of the race, are thus brought into intimate contact with the best educational facilities to be found anywhere in the world. In the South the Negroes live mainly in the rural districts, where school facilities are meager and inadequate, and even in the large cities of this section the provisions for colored schools fall woefully short of the up-to-date standards of a well-ordered system. In speaking of the education of the Negro, we should always keep in mind the widely contrasted educational advantages of these two groups. Negroes in the North generally are admitted to all educational facilities provided for the general community, whether supported by public funds or based upon private foundation. The people of the North have devoted much of their resources and philanthropic energy to the education of the Negro in the South, while giving little or no consideration to the contingent of the race within their midst. The individual has been given an equal chance in the general educational provisions and has been expected to rise or fall according to the measure of his own merit. The rapidly increasing numbers concentrating in the large centers of population will inevitably call attention to the special needs of this growing group, separated in many ways from the life of the community of which they form a part. Colored children have not seemed overcager to avail themselves of the advantages provided for them. They have not felt the necessity of through educational equipment for the life-tasks that lay within their reach. Being confined to the mental modes of service, they have not in large numbers been inspired to enter upon, the higher reaches of education demanded in the more exacting lines of service. The eagerness of the Southern Negro for knowledge in the midst of meager facilities is in glaring contrast with the apathy of his Northern brother, surrounded by such great advantages. ```markdown ``` This handsome 21-inch Pearl Necklace, graduated.

D 51 St. 31st St. Chicago PROSPERITY GOOD LUCK'S LEADER WEAR THE BUCKLEE AND RAMBITS FOOT From the London "Daily News" Certainly no "bigger than a man's hand was the cloud which darkened for a few moments yesterday the serenity of Mr. Mead's court at Marlborough street: A mere matter of the refusal of a Chinese licensee to supply a colored man. Mr. Mead treated the whole affair with the summary common sense of the ordinary intelligent and fair-minded Englishman. Every refreshment house keeper, he thought, could use his discretion as to whom he should serve; he considered there was no breach of the license, and dismissed the summons. At the same time, he said, he did not think it was fair. Here is a place called a Chinese restaurant. No one in the world would expect that people keeping a Chinese restaurant would discriminate as to color. There is an invitation to all well-behaved people to go into this restaurant to get refreshment. They go. Then they are told they are not to be served. That is not fair. And with a prosaic and rather dangerous suggestion that restaurant keepers who do not wish to serve colored people should not up a notice to that effect, Mr. Mead dismisses the summon and the subject. Solomon himself in similar circumstances could probably have done nothing else. Yet there is a shister parallel in this little trivial case to the old servant remark in Karl Radek's famous play. She begins reading in the new paper the brief paragraph that the Robbers have formed a trade union. "That's nothing," she says. "I don't understand it," and does not read to the end. It was only her own death warrant and the doom of the entire society of which she was a humble representative that she had neither her patience to read nor the intelligence to understand. And how many of us have? There may be something to be said for florishing the eyes to a coming dancer; there is evidently much to be said for not merely staring at it indefinitely in paralyzed impotence; but there is also surely something to be said for once in a white looking it calmly in the face. Tick on your fingers the places in the wide earth where the little cloud which hung over Mr. Mead's court yesterday darkens the whole sky, heavy with imminent menace. There is South Africa, where "black outnumberers white by four to one" as Mr. Ramsay Muir reminds us today. There is India, where the British peace creates a population problem growing yearly more serious. There is Japan with its land hunger, and North Africa, where France is drilling her black regiments, and Australia, where the menace of yellow invasion forever before her eyes, and China with in vain—but who shall say if forever in vain"—against white "purification." There is America, with her many-sided face problems, her tyrannies and immigration laws, and Canada, with her periodic alarms. It is not a subject for an article, nor even for a book; there is matter here for a whole library. But is not the moral clear? We chat about our population questions and our immigration schemes; but unless we can arrive at some real philosophy of the color question our debates are probably idle. Another issue, slowly but certainly arising, will overshadow and engulf them. More force is a vain argument, as history has proved times out of mind; more opportunism—mere dismissal of the summons—is hardly better, for it will only come up in another form. What then, is our answer to be? Rob Natives with Cowries Shell Currency From the London Daily Herald. How natives in the northern territories of the Gold Coast are tricked in money matters, which enables a certain class of the community to earn a comfortable living, is described in a Colonial Office report just issued. Cowries (ornamental sheets), a small variety of which is employed as money in Africa and the East Indies, are still used extensively in the Northern Province, and the acting commissioner reports that until these are got rid of they will always be a fountain of wealth to the trader, and a thorn in the side to the administration. "Lack of nickel coinage and small change in the market gives the trader and the money, changer the chance of making a very good living at the expense of the local inhabitant, adds the report. PR GOOD WEAR THE BUCKLEY try, and set its machinery moving, generate to it all needed capital and then favorite the farmers to sit in the places reserved for them and proceed to gather their profits. Det me say that I offer no, such Aladdin-like project. I want society as a whole to help, but I want the farmers to do their share, and I warm them that this will be the lion's share." Co-operative marketing, must have its beginnings in small and modest units and must train the people who are to use it to think co-operatively. He used as an illustration the building up of the United States Steel Corporation, assuring that it never could have started from the top but that Andrew Carnegie built one section of it; other men built other sections, and none at the outset had the vision of the "anonymous concentration to which their activities were tending." The President also advised that cooperative marketing be preached as a principle, not as a panacea. "It will not perform miracles," he said. "It will not accomplish the impossible. But it is as sound, tried, demonstrated principle that must be introduced as the basis of our agricultural establishments. It demands that the individual shall surrender some part of his complete independence for his own and for the general good. It means that a certain authority must be delegated, and when delegated it must be supported. There must be faith, good will, patience." Summarizes Its Benefits "The co-operative association which establishes grades and standards, encourages the good and eliminates the poor by variety, increases the efficiency of production, provides a unified product adapted to its market, organizes its distribution, creates confidence in its products and its methods—that kind of association is doing the best that cooperation can do. More than anything else we need a generation of farmers trained to co-operation, and to get that we need able, courageous, determined leadership, and most of all leadership that will not desert the farmer, but will stay by him." CAN OUR BEHAVIOR BE SHAPED AND CONTROLLED Dr. Watson Developing a New Theory—Public Conduct in Harlem, Say, Needs Radical Education Badly Behavior psychology, which recently won its most spectacular victory in the debate between Dr. John B. Watson, its originator, representing behaviorism, and Dr. William MoDougall of Harvard, taking the side of the older doctrine, before the Psychological Society in Washington, will now for the first time be presented to the general public through the "Lecture-on-Print" service of the People's Institute, New York. In 1912 Dr. Watson and several other psychologists reached the conclusion they could no longer be content to work with the "intangibles and unapproachables" of the old psychology. Dr. Watson says: "The behaviorists began their new formulation of the principles of psychology by sweeping aside all mediative conceptions. They dropped from their vocabulary all the old psychological vorbage, such as sensation, images consciousness, and even thinking and emotion, as formerly defined. Instead they asked, 'Why don't we make what we can observe the real field of psychology?' Let us limit ourselves to the things that can be observed and formulate laws concerning only those things. We can observe behavior—the activities of the human being. Let us make behavior the subject matter of human psychology." At Johns Hopkins University Dr. Watson performed experiments on babies. The discovery that babies brought up in laboratories are unafraid of amnestic and many other objects which have heretofore been assumed to frighten the human young, and the theory that we think with our whole body and principally with our vocal chords, rather than exclusively with our brain, are among his most remarkable findings. Dr. Watson believes the systematic development of behavioristic principles will offer a way scientifically to predict and control human behavior. Dr. Watson is carrying on his experimental work under the auspices of Teachers' College, Columbia University, and the appearance of his non-technical lectures on behaviorism, issued by the People's Institute Publishing Company, New York, is the first popular presentation of the discoveries of this new science.

McNISH, Reporter. BARBADOS DIV., B. W. I. On Tuesday, December 9, 1924, at our general mass meeting, the vice-president called the meeting to order at the usual hour and the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," was sung. The prayers of the association were next recited, after which the roll of officers was called and the minutes of the previous meeting read and confirmed. The front page of The Negro World was next read, and at the conclusion the treasurer, Mr. John Beckles, entered the hall amid cheers. There was an unusually big gathering, for it was reported that Mr. Beckles, the president and treasurer of the division, would be chairman for the evening. The vice-president, Mr. Albert Blackman, expressed to Mr. Beckles on behalf of the members their usual cordial welcome, and then called upon Bro. Small to introduce him to the chair, whereupon Mr. Small. In his usual forceful manner, recalled all the good things done in the association by Mr. Beckles, the unstinted sacrifices which he made and still makes in the same direction, and the silent good work, such as agitating for the "Abolition of Child Labor" and his strenuous efforts in assisting to place one of his race, Mr. Christopher Brathwaite. In the House of Assembly. He then asked Mr. Beckles to preside over the business of the evening. Mr. Beckles appropriately responded and assured him that with the wholehearted support of the division he would attend meetings as often as convenient, his non-attendance being chiefly due to pressure of other duties. the chairman, in fulfilling the important duties assigned to him, was not long in impressing his audience with the fact that he is a speaker of no mean order. In his lengthy but pithy address, he clearly deplored the N. U. I. A. at Barbados from its inception and onward, stating how he had been installed as its first president, and the overwhelming obstacles which he has had to combat from time to time by enemies within and without. He therefore urged the members to continue the struggle, and in the near future their hopes would be realized. Referring to the charter, he carefully depicted its history and the means by which it came about, mentioning also the names of those who assisted in its application. The next gave a detailed account of the life of Toussaint O'Dovert, a great son of the race, and declared him to be a far greater general, statesman and warrior than any England or France has ever produced. At this stage he produced a pamphlet entitled "The Nigerian Students," stated how he received it from some unknown person in England, and explained how the Nigerian students in England had recently given a demonstration in honor of Sir Henry Carr, the first African Resident of the Colony of Lagos, Nigeria, and mentioned that the addresses and toasts made by the students and the mistress of ceremonies displayed very high intellect. He then called upon the secretary to read the addresses of the students, the address of the mistress of ceremonies, and the toast given in honor of the Negro race. They were of a very high intellectual order, and the reading of them was frequently punctuated by cheers, thus showing the high appreciation and enthusiasm elicited at the intelligence of the race, and its gradual bent for uplift and improvement socially, intellectually, politically and otherwise. The 'chairman's explanations during the course of his remarks left nothing to be desired. His ingenuity, affability and tact will ever enable him to succeed where others fail, and there is nothing injudicious in saying that in him the Universal Negro Improvement Association at Barbados possesses a gem of rare value. At the conclusion of the reading the Ethiopian National Anthem was lustily sung, thus bringing a spirited and enthusiastic meeting to a close. On Sunday, January 11, the Central Macarano Division of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. was privileged to entertain a distinguished guest in the person of the Hon. R. H. Broucher, a delegate to the Fourth International Convention of the Negro People of the World. The meeting was opened with the singing of the preconcertal lyrics. Tupa on Normal Lake joined the orchestra, followed by the soloist, W. H. Broucher, who was also accompanied by the instrumental lyrics. All of the soloists, accompanied by the organ, were joined by the orchestra. Mr. A. Broucher, who was also accompanied by the organ, If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT, If you are suffering with BACKACHEN, STIFF MUSCLES, SORE LIMBS, FAINFUL HIPS, BACKACHEN, BACKACHEN, BACKACHEN, ACID-POISSON, If your SONE MANNE is drying up so that you can't WORK, CAN'T DIGEST your food properly—LOSE NO TIE.

Spend the Next Thirty Days of the Winter Months Cruising in the Tropics after which the hymn, "O. Africa Awaken," from the ritual was sung. There was a fair attendance at this meeting, and this division has been able to hold very successful meetings for three consecutive evenings. It was a very delightful sight to see members, well-wishers and critics wending their way to Liberty Hall to hear the good news brought from the convention. Credentials of the distinguished visitors were then read by the general secretary, Mr. Joseph, after which he was introduced to the house by Mr. R. G. Fuller, president of the division, amidst thunders of applause, Mr. Bachulor's address was very eloquently delivered. He explained to the audience the most striking features in the work of the last convention. On each succeeding night the gathering increased, which showed a splendid enthusiasm. It is very evident that the visit of this young champion, in the cause of liberty has brought a revival in the vicinity. He has also put new life into those who were lukewarm and silenced many critics. During the collection, the lady president, Miss B. A. Kerr, rendered a gala. A few new members have enrolled, and the enthusiasm of the indifferent members has been rekindled through the soul-stirring address, delivered by the Hon. R. H. Bachelor, Mr. R. G. Fuller thanked the audience for their attendance on the three nights, after which the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. WILLIAM G. HUNT. Executive Secretary. GUANTANAMO. CUBA 'On Sunday, January 18, 1925, a general mass meeting was called to order at 7:50 p. m. by M. Francis, Indy-president, who occupied the chale. The singing, of the processional hymn "Shine on Eternal Light" was followed by the ode, "From Greenlands' Ice Mountains," Mr. F. B. V. Roman president, who acted as chaplain, offered prayer. The scripture lesson was read from Isaiah, 25th chapter and was followed by reading from the ritual, "For our ship at sea." After hymn No. 62 from the ritual was sung, the acting chaplain took as the text of this sermon, Daniel 3rd Chapter, 24th verse. While the collection for the evening was being lifted, the hymn, "Lord of our Life and God of Our Salvation" was sung, after which the religious part of the meeting was brought to a close. The literary part of the meeting was opened with an address by M. Francis, lady president. The following program was rendered: Duet, by Messrs Ramsay and Mathias, "Blessed be the Fountain of Life"; solo, in Spanish by Mrs. Maria Gabriel; address, by J. Webster, executive secretary; address, by F. B. Van Roman, acting chaplain; solo, by M. Francis, lady president, "How Firm a Foundation"; hymn, No. 107 from the ritual, "Through the night of Doubt and Sorrow"; by the congregation.

DR DUDLEY HUSTLING FOR A BIG APPROPRIATION President Dudley is spending considerable time in Raleigh these days conferring with the Budget Commission and members of the Legislature. He is asking for nearly $100,000 from the General Assembly for the expansion of the work of the college and he is putting forth numerous efforts to secure this appropriation. The College Glee Club sang at the North Carolina College for Women Sunday evening at the regular Venper services. The program consisted of Negro melodies and spirituals. For some years the College Glee Club has been invited to sing at this institution and the young ladies always enjoy hearing them. On Friday evening, January 9, the First Year High School Class in Civics rendered a very interesting program in the chapel. The program consisted of a mock court trial and very interesting talks on "Our State Judiciary" and, "The Sources. From Which the National Government Derives Its Income," by Messrs. F. I. Sledgo and Freeman Ledbetter, respectively. Prof. Meghney was in charge of the program and the young men showed that they had been thoroughly trained. On January 21 and 22 the State Farmers' Conference will be held at the College. Prominent speakers of both races have accepted invitations to address the conference on this occasion. The college is expecting the largest number of farmers that have ever attended a conference here and every effort is being put forth to make the conference a huge success.

THEODOR mérique Espa- une nouvelle jeunesse des vieux espoirs. Le départ du Booker T. Washington en croisière, initiale dans les Antilles et l'Amérique du Centre a démontré une fois de plus ce que peuvent la coopération loyale d'un groupe et la persévérance inlassable d'un leader. La réalisation de ce projet n'a pas été une tache des plus faciles eu égard à l'inmense opposition que la Universal Negro Improvement Association a rencontrée la où elle s'y attendait le moins, et aux difficultés inliérentes à l'inauguration, par des noirs, d'une entreprise si différente de celles dans lesques on s'était habituer à les voir s'engager, depuis les quelques soixante ans qui les séparent de l'Emancipation. Aussi, ce fut un évientement. Plus de quatre mille membres et souscripteurs ainsi qu'un grand nombre de spectateurs étaient accourus pour assister au départ du bateau. Et bien qu'un droit d'entrée d'un dollar avait été réclamé on dut refuser du monde. Il est incontestable que cet événement a marqué une étape de plus dans les progrès accomplis par la race. Ce qu'il y a de plus admirable c'est que rien n'a été épargné de ce qui pouvait assurer le prestige et le crédit d'bateau. Les promoteurs de l'entreprise ont bien fait les choses. Après acquisition du navire, vingt-eingang mille dollars furent dépensés le remettre à neuf, quoqu'il fut déja en bon état. Le commandement du bateau fut remis à un Norvegien. Pour le reste, tous les sous-officiers et marins sont des Noirs. Les operateurs radiographes sont aussi des Noirs. A cela, ricin de surprenant; cette disposition étant en tout point conforme aux principes de L'U. N. 4. A. La sécurité des passagers eventuels de la ligne n'en est pas compromise de ce chef; les membres de l'équipage étant tous des mixtels eutrines. D'ailleurs, il est évident qu'aucum capitaine sériue n'aurait accepté la responsabilité de courir les hautes mers avec, sous ses ordres, des subalternes incompetents. Et c'est précipient la beau coté de la chose; c'est qu'on ait pu trouver des noirs possédant les aptitudes et connaissance vouches en un siècle si hostiles au développement des noirs. Ce n'est pas sans un sentiment de profonde fierté que les membres de L'U. N. 1. A. ont vu, ces jours derniers, un des leurs, un jeune noir portant uniforme, penetrer dans des milieux ou les noirs n'avaient point encore obtenu accès, s'occupant des diverses et multiples formalités qu'exige la sortie régulière d'un navire. Le succès qu'a obtenu S. E. Mr Garvey dans la réalisation du rêve qu'il caresse depuis si longtemps, est un succès racial et mondial plutôt que personnel et local; car partout où le sans-fil a porté la nouvelle que la U. N. L. A. a définitivement lancé son premier bateau, les commentaires de la presse mettant une manière que "verbale" n'ont pas manqué de le désigner comme étant le bateau des noirs. Quant à la réaction morale, elle a été immense. De ce di là, on renouce des gens du peuple qui affectent de railler l'incident; mais, dans les milieux officiels, dans les milieux coliratifs, les gens qui comptent après tout, on regarde le négre avec des vents où se lissent un commencement de respect. Ce résultat colossal est l'Oeuvre de 3,500 noirs. A eux seuls, ils ont souscrit les fonds nécessaires à l'acquisition de ce steamer; et ils ont payé tous les traits de réparation d'approvisionnement et d'assurance. Le Booker T. Washington est sorti de la rade de New York ne devant pas un sou à quiconque. Et cela disons-nous, est l'Oeuvre de 3,500 sousscripteurs; rien qu'une poignée, quand on considère la densité de la population moire du monde. Il est à souhaiter que l'Oeuvre ne s'arrêtera pas en si beau chemin, paralysée par manque de fonds. A présent que le premier pas est fait, il faut espérer que chacun se fera un devoir, une obligation de soutenir l'entreprise, soit par des contributions volontaires, soit en souscrivant à l'emprunt ouvert par la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, soit encore en accordant à cette compagnie la préférence pour le transport des irrets. La solidarité et l'amour-propre nous le commandent: sachons y obtempérer. Car cette entreprise, si elle devait s'étendre et se développer, contribuerait plus que toute autre forme d'exploitation à asseoir les bases de la prospérité des communautés noires et à affermir leur respect auprès des races avancées de la terre. Le mot d'ordre des populations noires du globe, si toutefois elles tiennent à sortir de l'ornière ou la misère materielle et morale les fait croupir, doit être, à l'égard de tout mouvement progressiste et hardi: "Coopération et persévérance." Persévérance infine, coopération mondiale. Vous, qui me lisez, apportez votre pierre ou votre grain de sable à l'edifice qu'on tente d'eriger, car qui sait si par suite de développement imprévisibles survenant dans les conditions sociales et raciales du globe, vous n'aurez par, par ce geste banal, préservé vos arrière-neveux du carcan de l'esclavage.

Mais ce qu'elle put donner elle le donna, de tout son coeur. Et le jeune héros de 31 ans qui était venu rechaucer son enthousiasme à la flamme ardente du patriotisme haïtien, fut encourage à poursuivre son dessin par le spectacle d'un peuple qui sort ier de la hul plus degradante servitude s'efforcait de s'organiser dans l'ordie et dans la liberté. "C'est la grande fierte des haitiens d'avoir pris une part, si effective à l'émancipation des colonies espagnoles d'Amerique. L'histoire retiendra qu'ils risquèrent d'entrer en lute avec l'Espagne à un moment où leur propre independence était en peril. Les Etats-Unis restent eux mennes indifférents au sort de l'Amerique Latine jusqu'à ce que le triomphe leur cité certain en mars 1822. Et ce furent pourtant ces ans de la dernière heure qui mirent opposition, à ce que la République d'Haiti fut invité au Congo de Bogota de 1826! "Ecartons ce souvenir désagrable.

Hommage aux noirs des Etats-Unis Dans une conférence qu'il a prononcé le 21-Décembre de la Société d'Histoire et de Géographie d'Haiti sur "Le sentiment religieux chez les Négres a St Domingue", le Dr Price Mars, de la Faculté de Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a dit ceci: "Je ne sais pas, vers l'an 2050 et les années suivantes ce que deviendra ce pays d'Laiti. J'y vois une élite avide d'après jouissances, sans ressort le sens des solidarités sociales et ethniques. Car, voyez-vous, mulle injure n'est plus grave que de dire à un homme de notre élite qu'il est un négre.... Je ne sais donc ce que deviendra ce pays dans un proche futur.... Mais par contre, je pressene un immense avenir pour les communautés négres des Etats-Unis de l'Amérique du Nord. Je pressene une éclatante victorie pour les communautés négres de l'Afrique. Et toutes ces choses se réalisent par l'élan spirituel qui galvanise ces peuples marchant sous la double hammière de la race et d la pouce." *Le Nouveilliste*, 22 December, 1924. COMME LES ROSES Marcha el Booker T. Washington hacia otras tierras. Ello es un hecho patente de la realización de un esfuerzo mútuo, coordinado con sana inteligencia, mejor administración, gloriosa integridad e indiscutible honradez. Para que la corporación naviera de la Cruz Negra prosiga tam gigantesca obra, es necesario que todos aquellos que deseen ayudarnos en nuestra tarea, lo hagan a su mejor pronitud, suscribiándose como lo hemos explicado antes con préstamos de veinte, veinticinco, cincuenta, cien, doscientos, trescientos, quinientos ó mil pesos, cuyas cantidades devengarán un interés de un cinco por ciento anual. Estos préstamos serán usados en la promoción del negocio de la corporación y en la ampliación de la espansión industrial de la raza. Far Léon Laleau, poète haitien Cette rose que vous m'aviez donnée Qui, tout un bal embauma votre sein. Comme toutes les roses s'est fanée.... Les ors de son pistil se sont éteints. La pourpre saigneuse de ses pétales S'est enfuie, ainsi qu'un rêve trop beau; Ainsi qu'un rêve aux nuances d'opale Donit on n'a plus que le dernier lam- beau. La fleur que vous m'aviez offerte, un soir. A vu mourir son âme parfumée Et je pleure mainteient à la voir Connie, on pleure une morte bien- aimée. No solamente necesitamos el Booker T. Washington; estamos propuestos a que dentro de otro año nuestro radio marítimo se ve engrosado por otros vapores de igual 6 mejor calidad. Las tres mil quinientos personas que se han suscrito para comprar este primer vapor, deben tener por divisa el orgullo que les corresponde de haber hecho de una manera voluntaria y leal su mejor esfuerzo, para ayudar a levantar el interés comercial e industrial de la raza. Cada tres meses esperamos que otros grupos hagan lo mismo y no dudamos que de esta manera en corto periodo de tiempo la enseña de la nueva corporación naviera la Cruz Negra, se verá flotando en todos los principales puertes del globo. Car elle me rappelle ces amours Des soirs de bal que l'on croit citer- nelles Mais qui s'effeuillent aux baisers des jours Comme les roses troublantes et fréles.... PENSEES Plus j'avance dans la carrière de la vie, plus je trouve le travail nécessaire. Il devient à la longue le plus grand des plaisirs et tient lieu de toutes les illusions de la vie.— P. Corneille. Vayamos hoy mas que.nunca mas solidamente unidos para impulsar este movimiento, esta gran empresa nuestra. Todos aquellos que puedan cooperar tendrán la noble oportunidad de hacer un algo beneficioso para nuestra causa. No hay duda de que esta nueva empresa requiere capital para promover la industria naviera que hemos de fomentar. Los elementos de la raza, especialmente los de Centro America y las Antillas que tengan cargo, deberán utilizar nuestras embarcaciones para su transportación, protejiendo de ese modo los intereses de la corporación. Nuestro elemento en este país interesado en las actividades comerciales y que desen, establecer una relación más estrecha, deberán redoblar sus esfuerzos cooperativos en tal dirección. Nuestra exclamación al presente deba ser. ¡Barcos y mas barcos! ¡Capital y más capital! y cuando la respuesta sea duda hay mas que fazón para creer que será facil poner en base solida nuestra proposición mercantil. Plus un homme est doué de sensibilité et de gène, plus il s'attache aux idées qui agrandissent son être et qui élèvent son cœur; et la doctrine des hommes de cette trempe devient calle de l'univers.—Robes-pierre. La parole, peut umir les hommes; la parole peut les désamir; la parole peut parvenir l'amour comme elle peut servir l'immitiité, la haine. Garde-toi de la parole qui divise ou qui provoient la haine.—Telettoi Spanish Section El senador Dill, de Washington, al protestar contra el fratado de la isla de Pinos, pidió en el senado que se exigiera a Cuba comenzar inmediatamente negociaciones para el pago de una deuda de veinte millones a los Estados Unidos, que Cuba ba ignorado durante veinte años. El senador es así uno de los que ultimamente han atacado el tratado en que se reconoce el derecho de Cuba a dicha isla en el Caribe. Realización de grandes ideales por medio de cooperación—El vapor Booker T. Washington en su primer viaje inicia una nueva era de prosperidad para nuestra raza—Mayor relación entre nuestro elemento en el hemisferio occidental—El éxito de nuestra nueva empresa naviera depende principalmente del interés y las actividades de la raza Manifesto que en 1906, a solicitud del presidente Palma, quien temió que no podía conservar el orden ni acabar con una revolución pendiente, el presidente Roosevelt consintió en que las fuerzas de los Estados Unidos intervinieran para conservar el orden en la república de Cuba, conviviendo en pagar todos los gastos originados por la dicha intervención. El costo a los Estados Unidos es de difícil calculo, pero en la memoria presentada por el secretario de guerra el 30 de junio de 1909, se demuestra que durante la ocupación se hicieron gastos militares por valor de seis millones. En estos no estan incluidos los gastos navales e incidentales. El congressista Stevens, en una compilación cuidadosa, estableció que el costo total fue de diez millones centidad que de devengar un interés de cinco porciento aumentaria a veinte millones de dólares. Cooperación, energía, habilidad e inteligencia han traido por resultado el que nuestro primer buque titulado Booker T. Washington, de nuestra nueva corporación naviera la Cruz Negra, haya zarpado felizmente de este puerto, apesar de la tremenda oposición que sostuvicramos para llevar a vias de hecho tan gloriosa tarea. Nuestra raza ha triunfado apesar del gran número de personas, quienes pensaron el que nos era imposible hacer efectiva la promesa que habíamos ofrecido al público, de establecer a la raza en una base de poder maritimo comercial. La adquisición del Booker T. Washington no completa la labor en que tenemos empñadas todas nuestra energías en esta dirección. Demos por sentado que este sea un principio modesto y de pequeño efecto; dada las circunstancias que han rodeado nuestra árdua labor; pero circumuestra las posibilidades, arrestos que tiene la raza en almacen hacia una gran prueba su habilidad y cooperación, para llevar a cabo tan sublime esfuerzo. Dijo que ello constituye una obligación legal de Cuba a los Estados Unidos. El congreso tomó nota oficial de esa deuda cuando en 1907 el presidente fue autorizado por resolución para recibir pagos de deuda de parte de la república de Cuba. Tiene informes de que el secretario del tesoro Mellon, en respuesta a investigaciones recientes, declaró que Cuba no habia dado pagos de ninguna naturalez hacia la liquidación de esa deuda. Anadio que si los hechos que acaban de emñarse, son exactos. Cuba no solignora su vieja deuda sino que también insiste en que debe entregarse la isla de Pinos, el noyenta por ciento de la cual es propiedad de los colonizadores norteamericanos. No estamos satisfechos el haber lanzado sobre la rugosa superficie del ocano, el buque que a estas horas surca el proceloso azul hacía los trópicos, con una nutrida representación de nuestra raza y un cargo miscelanio, como iniciación de lo que podamos hacer en este orden, determinando un paralelo civico comercial industrial con aquellos elementos caucásicos, quienes por su esfuerzo, su audacia, su inteligencia y sus cuantios medios de competencia, le han hecho adquirir la supremacia que hoy dia hay que concederle en la amplia esfera del negocio en el mundo civilizado. No estamos satisfechos, hemos dicho, hasta que no redoblemos nuestras energias y esfuerzos en toda dirección para financiar la nueva corporación naviera la Cruz Negra, de manera que ésta esté en condiciones propiciadas para conducir eficientemente sus negocios, dentro del radio marítimo en que se ha establecido. Orge la finanza para comprar el material necesario durante las travesias periódicas de la escala de nuestra primera embarcación, así no dependa solamente de los intriguingles de mercado de conpetición, viéndose nuestra corporación en condiciones tales con las distintas unidades de la raza, dentro y fuera del radio de nuestra acción y las evoluciones se resuelvan en un contacto mas cercano obteniendo mayores beneficios, sin atender a ese intrincado proceso que tanto dificulta la realización de intimidades comerciales, industriales y fábiles entre uno y otro elemento de las Tres Americas. Los colonizadores norteamericanos alli dicen que en los veinte años desde que el general Wood arrío el pabellón norteamericano, sin autoridad, a los militares cubanos, el gobierno de Cuba no ha hecho el malabsolutamente para el desarrollo de la isla. El senador por Nueva York, Royal S. Copeland, que como se sabe es uno de los más decididos partirarios de que se prive a Culg de la Isla de Dinos encantura ahora su posición adversa al tratamiento muy fortalecida. Restricción rigurosa de una producción De la contencia interna del opio, en Ginebra han nacido thrrenencias que dan motivo para dulat de la buena te de algunas de las naciones representadas alt. Si el mercio del opio ha de ser controado y reducido, si se han de adoptar mueras restricciones por convenio general con el fin de reprimir el uso de drogas narcóticas, no ha de ser creando dificultades acerca de los procedimientos que ahora se emplean en el Lejano Oriente. El sistema de monopolios de gobierno en la manipulación interior y regulación de la exportación, ha sido completenemente puesto a prueba. Sus mejores defensores son los que estan en favor de hacer lo menos que sea posible, y de hacerlo en el más lejano porvenir posible. Al fin la única cura,comfortadora de la situación existente, el unic remedio que promete ser eficaz, es el plan, presentado por la delegación de los Estados Unidos en Ginebra. Esos delegados han asumido su actitud resuelventa a favor de la restricción rigurosa de la producción del opio, que no tenga por fin las necesidades médicas mundiales. La India, donde el gobierno ejercita una estrecha supervision de todas las etapas de la producción; no esta preparada para un tan rápido paso hacia adelante. China, después de un excelente principio aboliendo el cultivo de las amapolas productoras del opio, en los últimos años ha retrocedido debido al relajamiento y corrupcion de la autoridad, del gobierno. La mayoría de las colonias europeas del Lejano Oriente sancionan el comercio del opio bajo control del gobierno por razones de expedencia al lucro. Los Estados Unidos no tienen tal problema del opio. No producen el opio bruto. Su población no ha sido, por tradición y practica, desde hace generaciones, como la India, consumidora del opio, con cuyas contumbres establecidas podria causar perturbaciones una intervención repentina. Al propio tiempo los Estados Unidos, a pesar de toda su política radical, no aparecen, como limpios de calpia. Pólogo, proposo nieudo la imposición de las reformas en otras partes, han permitido el transporte y exportación de las dragas narcóticas a países a los que ahora insisten que sus propios gobiernos priven de todos los suministros menos los necesarios para finermedicos. Si accidentalmente, por convenio internacional, la producción del opio donde de hecho se cria pudiera ser reducida, a un limite mínimo; si mediante una honrada cooperación, pudiera reducirse progresivamente la existencia hasta equiparla con las necesidades conocidas del consumo médico, el plan americano habría sido justificado. El mundo, ante los formidables obstáculos presentados en Ginebra, está todavía muy lejos de su objetivo. Extendiendo la prohibición La ley Volstead y la décima octava cumienda constitucional que le diba cabida, estan produciendo nuevas automalias e irregularidades. Esta vez la perturbacion no tiene por teatro el territorio de la Union. Al parecer la prohibicion es bastante absurda para extender la esfera de acción de sus conflictos hasta más alde de los limites del país. Las Filipinas son ahora el teatro de las controversias y choques prohibicionistas. Pero contra lo que se creería, y parece legíneo, el archipielago de Magallanes, más bien que perder derechos y libertades por la anomala reforma, como ha acontecido en los Estados Unidos han encontrado, inexperadamente, un campeón importante de su libertad. Este no es otro que al gobierno general Wood. Cuando el departamento de Justicia y el departamento de Estado de Washington deciden que la ley Volstead se aplica también el territorio de las Pilipinas, sobre las que los Estados Unidos gestionan y ciercen dominio y control como poder solicitó, el general aparce de darando que al archipielago no le acampa la profilización. Y por ende que la soberanía americana tiene allí una limitación categorica y considerable. Nadie pudiera esperar declaración semejante del general Wood, que la manifestado que el pueblo filipino no esta apta para la independencia y el abandono del paternal tutorado de los Estados Unidos. Ahora, sin embargo, ante su propia actitud, alberra y franquece opuesta a la prohibición alcoholica, cabra que los políticos en Manila se precunten que aptitud tienen los Estados Thidos para discarles leyes, cuando el congreso de Washington las aprueba tales que el propio gobernador general de los Filipinos, en un recurso imponente para evitar su aplicación, de la mano no pueden regir en aquel teorico. La produccion de piedra de tupile ha sido el mayor numero de piedras en los Estados Unidos. este pinto dual al traste con el del general Wood entre los imperias Sala enunciando de los Estados Unidos lado al observar en el Filipino para la importacion de piedras, por que declarar que es vital para la felicidad de los filipinos en otros puntos. Filipinas, a quien los más respectables americanos declaran insome-tibles a la probabilidad, debe agraderer a Vollead la oportunidad que le la hado para tener a su lade, en este punto siquiera a gobernador Wood. Al mismo tiempo, la irracional orientación de la ley y la fantasía manera con que se observará allí, si se va a seguir el mismo lo que en los Estados Unidos, servirá para pregonar aín entre los más adictos a los americanos que los más entonados ataques que el general Wood dirija a los políticos maniles pueden, seguilamente, devolverse contra políticos compatriolos del gobierno, con actinación dentro y fuera del territorio de la Union. Un coronel culpable El coronel Charles R. Forbes, ex-director de la oficina de veteranos de los Estados Unidos, fue convicto de conspiración para defraular al gobierno en relación con la construcción de hospitales para soldados. John W. Thompson, de St. Louis, acusado junto con Forbes, fue también declarado culpable. El fue el contratista de quien el gobierno dice ayudo a preparar el llevar a cabo la conspiración por la cual. Forbes, Thompson, Elias H. Mortimer, los principales testigos del gobierno, James W. Blanck y Charles F. Cramer deban dividirse los provechos en la erección de hospitales para soldados inutilizados por un valor de diez y siez millones. Mortimer confesó y fue el principal testigo de la acusación. Ni Forbes ni Thompson declararon conio testigos. La mociión para un nuevo juicio sera considerada el 4 de febrero, según anuncio el juez Gavi CHICAGO, Ill.

The recommendations in this Code of Ethics will be brought before the attention of at least a half million people who will visit these annual expositions, as are steps being taken to put the Code so it will be available to the public throughout the country. Never before in the history of business have great national interests gathered around a table and put on paper expert opinion of how an important phase of our national life could be improved.

In this connection, officials of these trade organizations state that a wide dissemination of the 'principles included in this code will in time banish unsecrepid contractors', 'building supply dealers, and firms engaged in selling shoddy and filmy material. In addition, it is also stated, that this will not only benefit the general public by giving them better homes, but be of assistance to the reputable firm engaged in selling building materials, plumbing equipment, heating and ventilating systems and other products who are often blamed for faulty construction, and cheap substitutions.

Similarly, the uninformed are apt to hold guilty the contractor of a well built house if a poor heating plant makes trouble for the owner. The education of the public on correct methods and the use of good materials will, therefore, also protect reliable contractors and reliable firms. Following are some of the "high points" of the code that have caused widespread comment among the allied trades: 1. The exposition cannot recommend the purchase of homes built for speculation unless such homes have been built from properly executed plans, and honestly constructed under the advice of competent authority. 2. The exposition, opposes the exploitation of the public through the selling of filmsight built, improperly planned structures, or materials and equipment which do not comply with recognized standard specifications of manufacture. 3. In standing for honest construction the exposition requires the possibilities of substitution of shortly for good materials; that poor workmanship will weaken a house, increase the upkeep and reduce its useful life to a very few years; that failure to properly insulate the house will greatly add to the fuel consumption . . . that the home builder or home buyer should learn the fundamental principles of good construction methods in order that he may not be misled into building or buying a badly planned, poorly constructed home. 4. The exposition does not approve exhibits of any real estate firm or corporation unless it is in position to offer with the purchase of the let a definite proposition for the financing of the home. 5. The exposition believes that the laying out of subdivisions or building development sites should be in keeping with a harmonious plan of city or suburban community development along scientific city planning lines, that proper restrictions, be provided, including zoning laws to prevent the damage of property due to the encroachment of factory and business sections or residential property. 6. The exposition believes that the prospective purchaser of a home or a homeite is entitled to what is generally known as the direct investment due to the gradual development of the community after the purchase has been made, and that the sale prices of all property, at all times, should be based on its value at the time of the purchase. 2. The exposition in recognizing the co-operatively owned apartment as a home, realizes that they are many so-called co-operative or tenant ownership plans advanced, many of which have not as yet been given the test of time, and is, therefore, for the present in a position to recommend but one form of co-operative ownership, generally referred to as the 100 per cent tenant ownership plan and organized on the standardized banks approved by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. 8. The exposition believes that home savings accounts should be encouraged by trust companies, savings banks and savings and building loan associations, and that the funds established through such savings accounts should be used exclusively for the financing of homes and that due recognition should be given good construction by granting higher loans. 9. The exposition does not approve exhibits of any building materials unless there is assurance that the manufacturer can finance ample production to supply the demand. nor does it approve exhibits staged for the purpose of financing or promoting stock sales. 10. The exposition, while recommending the use of standard building materials, encourages the production and use of other suitable materials, when such materials have, through tests under proper engineering supervision, proven of substantial value. 11. The exposition recommends that home builders do not attempt to economize in the construction of their homes by selecting poor equipment because it is cheap, and that true economy is in careful planning and then buying good material as cheaply as possible and seeing to it that they are properly installed. 12. The exposition has adopted a rule that no products will be accepted for exhibition unless the manufacturer compiles with such standard specifications as are adopted by their respective national associations or that the product has been approved and recommended by the exhibit committee under whose classification it belongs. 18. The exposition belleaves that the love of home is largely begotten and maintained by using good taste in the decoration of the rooms, choice of furnishings and proper lighting. 14. The exposition believes that an appropriate landscape development, such as involves no extraordinary expense, either in initial outlay or in upkeep, is a very real insurance against deterioration of the home property. In a paragraph covering the general supervision of the expositions in all four cities, the code states that the committees of administration are unanimously opposed to irrelevant exhibition, interpretation, amusement Spiritual Treatment For Health, Happiness, Success and Vitality J. 1898. Would Take in All Races and Colors and Christian and Mohammedan—Says Zionists Only a Small Party of the Jewish People—Many Black Jews WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 1769, of Prince Habib Lottafallah, minister of the King of Arabia at Rome, he left Washington to visit Pittsburgh and the other American cities after a several days' stay in the capital. The prince is one of those most interested in establishing a Pan-Semitic kingdom in the Near East. His visit to the United States, however, is not in an official capacity, he emphasized to Universal Society while here. During his stay in Washington Prince Lottafallah met on a private soil basis, most of those prominent national official circles. He refrained from calling at the White House, lost the strictly unofficial nature of his visit be misconstrued. The project of establishing a Scottish kingdom, the prince sank is a new movement, but is the only method of establishing lasting peace in the Near East. The kingdom would unite the Semitic faces, whether of Christian, Jewish or Mohammedan Earth. Zionism, be pronounced a purely political movement, which never could be a success, deferring to Lord Talfour's support of the movement, be said: "Lord Talfour is in error in not taking into consideration the question of race, which now plays the most important part in New Jerusalem affairs. Talfour had declared in favor of mitigating the powers of the Semitic race, then there would have been general peace throughout the Near East. The Zionists are only a small party of the Jewish people, and the Jews are just a part of the Semitic race. The Semitic race is composed of Christians, Mohammedans and Jews." Prince Leothabh, tall and great speaking poet, French and slightly accented Oxford English, has made the appearance of a European diplomat than of a native of the Near East. His ancestors, Christianus for the first two hundred years, always have played an important part in the affairs of Arabia, as car heir to the time of Haroon Al Husseid, of Arabian Nights fame. The great kingdom he proposed would have its political center at Lagdad, its geographical and historical center, Jerusalem, for Christians and Remnant Sale My Bundle You need to be sure you we mean it.

Continuing his discussion, he said: "The general peace of the Near East—a question dating back to the time of the Crusades—must be determined logically and with sympathy for the feelings of the inhabitants of the countries affected. "A new organization is being formed, for the purpose of organizing the Near East with a constitutional policy. The open door of course would be maintained in view of the geographical and religious situation of the country, which is of interest to the entire world, through religious or racial ties. "Organization of the country on this basis will be the only way of securing a state of peace for the world, the Near East again becoming a friendly link between the Orient and the Occident." EDUCATIONAL CHARACTER OF THE POPULAR MOVIE EDUCATIONAL CHARACTER OF THE POPULAR MOVIE From the Nashville Clarion Probably no other secular institution plays so important a part for better or worse in our lives as the motion picture. To use the familiar allot, the movie, as an institution, can make us or break us. Monsters have said enough to fill volumes about its evils or supposed evils. Educators have pointed it, and not only have pointed out, its virtues, but actually have adopted it in schools of learning. The movie has given employment to many thousands of people; it has become the fourth largest industry in the United States from the standpoint of capital invested. It has amused and attracted millions of people, and paid millions of dollars to high salaried professionals to make others laugh and weep. It has stirred the fires of ambition among thousands who have longed for the magic spell of getting themselves starved on its silver sheet, or to write the colorful plots to which it owes its life and continuance. It has created an entirely new school of thought, of action, of literature. But what has it done for the average man of the street, store, shop or office; for the woman of the household; and for the boy and girl of the school? What else, social and personal benefits can be credited to the flickering film? To answer but only in the most general terms—it has been a great leavening in the melting pot of com- 100 In Six Months *Made $2,900 in six months after I put on the EGYPTIAN LOCKY MYNTIC RING* written Mr. E.

Due to the method of combining the GLAND and munity life. The motion picture house knows no rich, no poor. It claims all, Here men and women laugh and cry together, and often talk all too much. Here the child gets his drama—that, but faultless; his shells—exhilarating, but safe. Two films ever were exactly alike. That makes them himat-like. Leaving out all moral questions, perhaps the worst that can be said of the movie is the utter passivity it not only affords but relentlessly demands. In this mechanical age we need more exercise and physical recreation than we get in our daily work; that we need action with wholesome fun in it. Not the action we pay others to perform, but that we do ourselves. And this is what, from a recursive standpoint, the movie cannot supply.
