The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER RECEIVED APR 18 1925 The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race HON. MARCUS GARVEY REVIEWS THE WORK OF THE U.N.I.A. IN BUILDING UP THE WORLD SENTIMENT OF "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS" HON. MARCUS OF THE U.N.I. SENTIMENT OF The Hon. Marcus Garvey, confined in Atlanta prison, Georgia, continues in fine spirits, although his physical condition is below par. His asthmatic ailment persists and is liable to become aggravated owing to his inability to breathe the fresh air. Every effort, however, is being made to secure favorable consideration of his case at the hands of the Chief Executive of the nation, and the Negroes of the world may rest assured that nothing will be left undone that can be done looking toward their progress at this crisis in their history. The blot of the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey, the greatest benefactor of the Negro race, must be removed. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, as the Negroes of the world see it, has done no wrong. Not all the sophistry of twentieth century civilization can convince Negroes to the contrary. It is for us, therefore, to bend every effort toward restoring him, at the earliest possible time, to the active control of the movement to which he has dedicated his life. The following article from his pen, which appears in the first edition of his book, "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," he commends to the attention of Negroes the world over: AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS For six years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been advocating the cause of Africa for the Africans—that is, that the Negro peoples of the world should concentrate upon the objective of building up for themselves a great nation in Africa. When we started our propaganda toward this end several of the so-called intellectual Negroes who have been bamboozling the race for over half a century said that we were crazy, that the Negro peoples of the western world were not interested in Africa and could not live in Africa. One professor and critic de luxe went so far as to say at his so-called Pan-African Congress that American Negroes could not live in Africa, because the climate was too hot. All kinds of arguments have been adduced by these Negro intellectuals against the colonization of Africa by the black race. Some said that the black man would ultimately work out his existence alongside of the white man in countries founded and established by the latter. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925 GARVEY REVIEW A. IN BUILDING “AFRICA FOR T PROFESSORS AND CRITICS WHO ONCE SWALLOWED THE POTION THAT BLACK MEN COULD NOT LIVE IN AFRICA NOW SEE ONLY AFRICA THE OBJECTIVE OF A FREE AND REDEEMED AFRICA WILL BE REACHED IF ONLY NEGROES CO-OPERATE AND POOL THEIR RESOURCES THE PROGRAM OF THE U. N. I. A. IS EMINENTLY PRACTICAL, AS THE "DOUBTING THOMASES" OF SIX YEARS AGO ARE NOW READY TO ADMIT Therefore, it was not necessary for Negroes to seek an independent nationality of their own. The old-time stories of "African fever," "African bad climate," "African mosquitoes," "African savages," have been repeated by these "brainless intellectuals" of ours as a scare against our people in America and the West Indies taking a kindly interest in the new program of building a racial empire of our own in our Motherland. THE COLONIZATION OF AFRICA Now, that years have rolled by and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has made the circuit of the world with its propaganda, we find eminent statesmen and leaders of the white race coming out boldly advocating the cause of colonizing Africa with the Negroes of the western world. Some years ago Senator MacCullum of the Mississippi Legislature introduced a resolution in the House for the purpose of petitioning the Congress of the United States of America and the President to use their good influence in securing from the Allies sufficient territory in Africa in liquidation of the war debt, which territory should be used for the establishing of an independent nation for American Negroes. About the same time Senator France of Maryland gave expression to a similar desire in the Senate of the United States. During a speech on the Soldiers' Bonus, he said: "We owe a debt to Africa and one which we have too long ignored. I need not enlarge upon our peculiar interest in the obligation to the people of Africa. Thousands of Americans have for years been contributing to the missionary work which has been carried out by the noble men and women PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEWS THE WORK UP THE WORLD THE AFRICANS" who have been sent out in that field by the churches of America." GERMANY TO THE FRONT This reveals a real change on the part of prominent statesmen in their attitude on the African question. Then comes another suggestion from Germany, for which Dr. Heinrich Schnee, a former Governor of German East Africa, is author. This German statesman suggests, in an interview given out in Berlin and published in New York, that America take over the mandatories of Great Britain and France in Africa for the colonization of American Negroes. Speaking on the matter, he says: "As regards the attempt to colonize Africa with the surplus American colored population, this would in a long way settle the vexed problem, and under the plan such as Senator France has outlined might enable France and Great Britain to discharge their duties to the United States and simultaneously ease the burden of German reparations which is paralyzing the economic life." With expressions as above quoted from prominent world statesmen, and from the demands made by such men as Senators France and MacCullum, it is clear that the question of African nationality is not a far-fetched one, but is as reasonable and feasible as the idea of an American nationality. A PROGRAM AT LAST I trust that the Negro peoples of the world are now convinced that the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a visionary one, but very practical, and that it is not so far-fetched, but can be realized in a short while if the entire race will only co-operate and work toward the desired end. Now that the work of our organization has started to bear fruit we find that some of these "doubting Thomases" of four and five years ago are endeavoring to align themselves on the side of the idea of rehabilitating Africa in the interest of the Negro. They are advancing spurious "programs" and are not endeavoring to force themselves upon the public as originators of the African program. It is felt that those who have followed the career of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not allow themselves to be deceived by these Negro opportunists who have always sought to live off the ideas of other people, and who would account themselves famous merely because they had been destructive. (To be concluded next week) EARL BALFOUR IS MOBBED AND RUN OUT OF PALESTINE LORD BALFOUR FLEES FOR HIS LIFE FROM HISTORIC DAMASCUS Infuriated Arabs Resept His Announcement of Great Britain's Endorsement of the Zionist Back to Palestine Movement—Arab Revolt Feared BEIRUT, Syria, April 10 (Associated Press).—The Earl of Balfour arrived here last night from Damascus and soon afterward embarked on the steamship Sphinx. He was accompanied by two police cars on the journey from Damascus to Ain-Sofar, about nineteen miles from this city, where the French Director of Public Security received and escorted him with a police guard by a circuitous route to the coast. He was met here by the British Consul General, who accompanied him on board the ship, Lord Balfour will remain aboard the Sphinx, which is heavily guarded by police, until Sunday, when the vessel will sail for Alexandria. Quiet prevails here. French Officer's Lone Charge Breaks Arab Mob DAMASCUS CITY, April 10—(Associated Press). Algerian cavalry, galopik through the streets of Damascus with drawn awards, and eight armored cars, manoevering with the troops, are credited with having saved Lord Balfour from the hostile mob of 6,000 persons which attempted to attack his hotel yesterday. Two were killed and many injured before the disturbance was quelled. Earl Balfour and, the French High Commissioner, Sarrail, drove away from the hotel yesterday for an unknown destination. Meanwhile scattering disturbances continued through the city and fire engines with hose in play and airplanes with smoke bombs were requisitioned to clear the mob from the streets. The civilian casualties from yesterday's disturbances number about fifty, of which fifteen persons are in hospitals. The police also suffered a few casualties. The mob succeeded in reaching the hotel where the veteran British statesman was staying, the efforts of the Syrian police having failed completely to check the demonstrators, although extra precautions had been taken because of the attack against his hotel Wednesday night. The mounted troops and armored cars soon scattered the crowds up side streets. The demonstrations against Lord Balfour are due to his work in the establishment of a national Jewish home in Palestine. He the author of the Balfour declaration, by which Great Britain announced support of the Zionist movement, bord Balfour went to Palestine recently to participate in the opening ceremonies of the new Jewish University on Mount Scopus. Lord Balfour did not venture out of his hotel yesterday because of the disturbances the night before. When the shouting crowds approached the building the French gendarmes displayed the most goodness. A French officer, lying almost full length upon his horse, charged along into the mob as it approached. It was a timely effort, for the suddenness of his move startled the leaders, while the troopers followed the officer's example and pushed the crowds back from the immediate vicinity of the building. The day began in Damascus in an atmosphere of continuous quiet. Nearly every shop and office was closed, but crowds were surging about the streets. Shortly after midday, when the mosques emptied, the first shouts of the mob could be heard from the municipality square, only a quarter of a mile from the hotel. The crowds in- "My Vigor Restored to Normal" "I can truthfully say I feel better than I have for five years.

Police attempted to establish a cordone around the hotel, but the mob easily broke, through it, and rushed toward the place where Lord Balfour was believed to be staying. Two streams of angry Arabs, roaring with excitement and in the ugliest mood, attacked the police, with stones and clubs. The situation had Assumed a serious aspect when the French officer charged and, with his troopers, sent the mutecontents scurrying through the side streets. British Fear Flight of Balfour Hurts Prestige Special Despatch to The World LONDON, April 10.—The spectacle of a flight of Lord Balfour, Great Britain's most eminent statesman, from Arab mobs in Damascus, under protection of French troops, amid fighting which resulted in bloodshed, may arouse deep feeling in this country. The World was informed last week that Balfour's visit to Damascus, which is in French territory, was undertaken at the urgent invitation of French authorities. It was felt by British officials, it would be most discourteous to refuse the invitation in view of the semi-official character of Lord Balfour's mission to Palestine. Bloody rioting, which made it necessary to rush Lord Balfour to the protection of a ship, will undoubtedly injure British prestige. It is felt here, in the whole East. Copyright (New York World Press Publishing Company, 1925 ARE THE BRITISH BECOMING PAUPERIZED One Million Two Hundred Thousand Englishmen Living on Doles.or Public Charity—Wages So Low Workers Prefer to Loaf and Live on Doles—Country Alarmed (From the New York Sun) With three whole towns in the industrial and mining sections of the United Kingdom living on doles.or unemployment insurance, politicians, labor leaders and economists alike were never more worried over the possible consequences of the loafing habit, which such a system of relief breeds and which now affects 1,200,000 workers, mostly unskilled, throughout the country. In thousands of instances it is more profitable to live on dole than to obtain casual employment. In the South Wales mining district if a miner works three days weekly he receives with the unemployment benefit approximately $11.80 a week. If he works four days he receives no dole and his wage is $10.50. His income, therefore, is higher if he leaves three days. In other instances the unemployed by taking precarious chances and accepting casual employment lost both the dole and work a week for ten cents more than they could otherwise obtain in the unemployed benefit. While white labor contends that, in lieu of work, it is necessary if riotes are to be prevented to continue the dole system, labor leaders none the less fear that in unjustified trade much unlawful authority is being lost by scandals of this deployable system, and George Lansbury, Spokistler, uniting of the tragedy of the dole, and misery; "We today are living on steams and dolas.

That Make Men Outstanding and Successful—Simplicity of Spirit Being the Most Pronounced—Why Negroes Are Proud of Mr. Garvey To the Editor of The Negro World: Marcus Garvey does not care to be considered great, yet he is a great man. All great men are characterized by three things: Simplicity in manners, simplicity in speech, simplicity in spirit. He is great because he has done much works as no other man had done before him. He has considerably exalted the stardust of excellence which he found existing, and his heightened for us our ideas of the capabilities of our common nature. Garvey has seen things hitherto invisible to others, and to so embody them as that henceforth others shall see them too. He has attempted things heretofore impossible to others, and having done them, too, is the token of a great man. Earth's greatest men have been able both to see and to do. They have combined in their characters equally insight and energy, elevation of mind and decision, of will. Carvey has a great work to do, and so he subordinates and even sacrifices himself to it. He is doing his duty in spite of all outward contradictions, and reverence his conscience so greatly as to preserve it unharmed, and will face any penalty for the cause he maintains. You could not produce Garvey before his time, and you cannot have two Garvey at the same time. You cannot displace or advance him, nor put him back; you cannot continue his existence and replace him, for he exerts only because he has his work to do. But though Garvey rises above the level of common humanity, he is no more to be looked upon as distinct and separate from the masses beneath him than the loftiest mountain that bathes its head in heaven can be said to be independent of the earth from whose surface it rises in its sublimity and grandeur. Pay not thy praise to lofty things done; the plains are everlasting as the hills. Just as the traveler whom we see on yonder mountain height became his ascent from the plain, so this man Garvay, of whom the Negroes boast, is but one of ourselves, standing on higher ground and, by virtue of his wider intelligence, his nobler thoughts, his loftier character, his purer inspiration, his more manly doings, he is claiming an empire and a people as his right. Why should not the Negro be proud of this illustrious son! Or like Taylor; "I have endeavored to do my duty." Or like Harrison; "I wish to understand the true principles of the government; I wish them carried out." Or like Edward, VII: "I think I have done my duty." Or like the Apostle Paul: "I have fought the good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." And now there is laid up for me in heaven a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me on that day. And not to me only, but unto all them that love His appearing. A.

Crime hurts our race; crime hurts Memphis." Our murder record must be induced. Crime must be checked. Will you help? These were some of the striking inscriptions on the posters.

MARCUS GARVEY AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM Attitude of White and "Colored" Journalists Towards Mr. Garvey and His Propaganda—Racial Integrity Emphasized Written for The Negro World BY FEROL V. REEVES Endless has been the journalistic comment on Marcus Garvey. The great, the near-great and the would-be great among those who write have all added their bit to this ever-widening sea of press opinion. Journalists, black and white, have felt called upon to review his activities, analyze and criticize his work, and air his personal affairs. Big and little, known and unknown, they have not failed to seize this golden opportunity to benefit by the limelight of publicity shed by the luminous personality of this great man. Each has seemed to feel that the job of telling the world about the immitable Marcus Garvey would not be complete until he had had his say. There is much that is amusing in this comment of the press, some things that are helpful and instructive and many that are untrue and were better left unsaid. Certainly one must laugh when he contemplates the spectacle of an insignificant, jack-leg writer for newspaper or magazine who has never been able to make even a fair living writing, waxing judicial and imagining that the world cares about what he thinks of Marcus Carvey. We read and sully and pass on, forgetting. Most of what has been written about Mr. Garvey by his would-be certifier is tummy-rot, pure and simple. Little truth has been so garbled with much fiction that one feels inclined to dump it all upon the ash pile of thought where it rightfully belongs. Occasionally, we find a thread of truth running through the fabric of miscomprehension and misrepresentation. This we must sense upon and benefit by. Attitude of the White Press It is noticeable that white journalistic comment on Marcelo Garvey is almost always favorable, sympathetic and encouraging to those who believe in him as a man and leader. Almost without exception, the writers of other races have pointed out the greatness of the man, the unfair treatment he has undergone and the many commendable phases of the program which he is striving so hard to put over. This attitude of the white press is not accidental. It is the direct result of a partial understanding of the motives which have been the driving force behind Mr. Garvey, compelling him to attempt the seemingly impossible. One of the dominant characteristics of the Caucasian is a certain racial self-respect which prevents him from ever becoming a racial beggar. He doesn't beg himself and he has absolutely no respect and consideration for those who do. The white man who has had sufficient interest in the negro to acquaint himself with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association respects the organization because of its independence of thought and action. There are those in both races who hold optimistic views on racial adjustment. Be that as it may, nobody, white or black, can fail to have the greatest admiration and respect for the Negro who goes ahead and carves out his own racial program regardless of what somebody else has planned for him. No white man, no Negro who sees white, can successfully direct the destiny of the Negro. Only the black man, who sees black, can do this. The better thinking element of the white race knows this and many are brave enough to kipplaud and encourage racial effort along these lines. "White" Black Americans There are many Negroes who will not agree with this, because they spend all of their time, devising, ways and means to get into the white race. In some cases fate, in the shape of an immoral and unscrupulous white man, has made this Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN Mr. Ransom Finds a Condition of Progress in Florida and the South Amonk Our Group Advises Land Buying While the Buying Is Good JACKSONVILLE. Fl., April 4.—This State recently received a series of very encouraging messages from Attorney F. B. Ransom, general manager of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company of Indianapolis, Ind., and a highly competent, far-scoring business man, bringing a wealth of first hand information to us on the progress of the race throughout the country. Attorney Ransom was greeted by large audiences at Savannah, Ga., here, at Duytons, West Palm Beach and in Miami. The occasion of Attorney Ransom's visit to Florida was the meeting of the bi-state conference of Walker agents held at the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church of this city. This conference was the annual get-together and training course given to its agents by the Walker Company and it brought to the delegates attending from South Georgia and Florida the very latest modes in the arts of beauty culture as adopted and practiced by the Walker Company. Attorney Ransom's congratulatory remarks on the progress of our group in Florida and throughout the nation, his forecast of a new era of economic progress for the race with its resulting command of more respect and his timely advice to our group lying amidst one of the most outstanding real estate booms in the history of the country, to buy such land, as we can, improve it and hold it; organize and patronize our own businesses and make ourselves inter-dependent, generally useful and assets to beckoned with in any community in which it is our lot to reside, seemed to have struck a harmonious chord with all who heard him and to have filled his audiences with a new will to achieve. What Shall We Eat? Most Eat What They Can Get English Scientist Denounces Cereals as Harmful to Bone Formation — Fruit and Vegetables Safest Foods and Plain Water for Drink (From the New York Sun) A new diet theory is enunciated today by Professor Mellanby in a report published by the Medical Research Council after exhaustive investigations and promises not only to stimulate a great controversy in Britain and other countries, but is expected also to have a marked influence on dietetics of the future. It is an attack on the use of cereals, which Mellanby contends exercise a detrimental effect on the bone formation of the young. The report is issued at a time when Britons have greatly increased their consumption of American breakfast cereals. Mellanby's conclusions scout the old idea that oatmeal is largely responsible for producing the hardy race of Scots and Englishmen. What saved these oatmeal consumers, he argues, is that their diet included much food rich in vitamin—milk, eggs, fish of the fatty variety. In connection with rickets and allied problems he finds little importance in the question of wholesale bread as opposed to white bread, nor, he believes, is there any great difference between the rickets producing effects of polish and unpolished rice. Among the cereals tested by Melanby, he claims that oatmeal had preeminently the worst influence on bone formation, and after that maize, barley, rice and wheaten flour. Animal fats, including meat fat and butter, and sunlight or artificial sunlight form the best means of combatting the effects of cereals. In tropical countries where cereals form the basis of the diet, Melanby says that sunlight undoubtedly is an important factor in antagonizing their detrimental effect. His contentions that white flour is far less deleterious than wholesale is one of the most surprising features of the report. Leaving Mississippi Farms Washington, D. C.—The 'New Brea,' published by Hernando, Mississippi, by the Baptist Industrial College, aimed the following advice to those who are leaving Mississippi to establish homestead in the North. "Our people who are migrating from the farms northward should seek locations in the rural North. Smallholding farming opportunities are open to six, people North and West, where diversified farming may be carried on. If you will go, then seek a location in the rural district where you can rear your children, and you and your with can enjoy the happiest which is yours. You can do nothing with your children in a crowded city." Industrial opportunities are now being applied in West Virginia and elsewhere in the state of farm.

We had left Port Harcourt and were now in Lacos, Nigeria. The captain, officers, chief steward and even the white greaser, who were all bitter against me a few days ago, as a result of the little incident between the third mate and myself, against whose unchristian, unwarrantable and infamous attitude towards the native Africans on board I stood firmly, were now surprisingly friendly towards me. "What is your opinion of Kjng Tut, Batson? Some people believe him to have been a white man, while others claim him was a black man." This was an opening shot, fired by the third officer, after I had placed the soup on the table. "I would like to have your opinion before giving mine, Mr. Third Mate," I replied. "Oh, well. Based on history and the reports of the discoveries, I naturally believe him to have been a white man," he declared. "Well, sir," I retorted, "I have not read much history, but from what little I have read and can remember, I firmly believe he was a Negro." "On what would you base your conclusions?" he insisted. "I would base my conclusion, Sir, on the fact that the Egyptians, who were Africans, were boosting the greatest civilization at the time of the reign of King Tut." "But their civilization was mainly one of cannibalism," he assured me. "They simply slaughtered and ate each other 2,500 years ago in Egypt," he added. "You are very much mistaken, Mr. Third Mate. Thirty-five hundred years ago the Egyptians were engaged in the work of smelting brass and iron, carving and inscribing stones, building pyramids and gigantic structures of matchless architecture" evidence of which even the crush merciless and devastating elements of time have not been able to erase to this day. At that time (I do hope you will take what I am about to say in the right spirit) your own ancestors were roaming the continent of Europe in nude savagery. They built no hoties, but lived in caves and denis and, according to your own history, ate berries and other things. That there is a High Commissioner General in Egypt at the present time there can be no doubt, but it is unnatural for you or anyone else to believe that one of your ancestors could have been Pharaoh of the Egyptian people or those days." "Now look here, Batson," he declared smilingly, "you cannot convince me you are not representing some society or institution in America. I am convinced you are out here on a mission." ® "I am representing no institution or society in America or any other place, Sir; but I must confess that I am here on a mission, of course, that of hounding a slice of bread and butter. We are all of us here on the same mission for that matter." I assured him. "I do not see why a fellow like you cannot find a good position in America instead of being at sea. There's no pleasure at sea," he added. "Absolutely none, Sir," I agreed, adding, "There is more pleasure in America today than can be found in any other country in the world. I believe, but you see, Sir, it is not a question of pleasure. It is a matter of bread and butter, as I have said." "Top spoke very well of London, why don't you go back and live there?" "London, Mr. Third-Mate, was quite all right a few years ago. But since November 11, 1918, I thought I'd rather take Chance in America. I still think so." "Well, I don't blame you. There are better opportunities and quite a number of very rich men of your race in America. Who do you believe to be the greatest man of your radio today?"

To the Editor of The Negro World: The following is an extract from an article 'which appeared in "El Heyaldo," one of the daily papers of the Republic of Cuba, March 37: "It is painful to the man who has the desire to see a free country and free humanity, when he comes to the understanding of the happenings at Puerto Padre in the Provinces of Oriente de Cuba. A telegram bearing the news of a tragic and brutal act flashed across the country a few days ago was enough to fill one with terror. The telegram reads: "The Chaparra Hugar Company has sold to the Miranda Sugar Company seven hundred (700) British West Indian Negroes, men, women and children, for the sum of twenty-one thousand dollars ($21,000.00), an average of thirty dollars ($30.00) per head." The writer goes on to say that these poor people are penned up like cattle, and are fed in a similar manner. A telegram of protest has been dispatched by the President of the Republic, it is said.

The institution will be the gift of Mrs. William Hodge of New York, formerly Miss Sarah Mills of Savannah. The funds for the purchase of a site were raised locally, chiefly by the colored people, with the cordial co-operation of white friends. Though the amount required was only $4,200, a total of $5,580 was subscribed. Booker T. Washington was a very great man," he added. "There are so many great men in my race, today, Mr. Third Mate, I am afraid I would not be able to decide which one is the greatest among them. I understand, however, that Dr. Robert R. Moton succeeded Dr. Booker T. Washington." At this stage the quartermaster struck eight hells. "Woll," said the third officer, rising "I have to take over now. I'll ace you again." The third mate having gone to relieve the chief mate from the bridge, I went into the pantry and treated myself to a plate of soup, not that I was hungry, but as a refresher in preparation for the next shot, which I knew was inevitable, as soon as the chief mate had taken his seat.

The "Cotton Farmer." of Mississippi, in its issue of March 7, in an article headed "Marcus Garvey and Africa," comments as follows: "It is to be devoutly hoped and expected by all well-meaning Americans that no unusual or cruel punishment will be inflicted on Marcus Garvey during his stay in the Atlanta Penitentiary in compliance with the desire or supposed desire of an element of our race in America that could have used their talents" (26) better purpose of rock foundation building of our race in the Cotton Belt where we have a priority (or for that matter in the whole of the United States) than to the hounding of Booker Washington to the open premature grave with a broken heart, and Garvey to the Atlanta penitentiary and possibly the grave. It is also to be hoped that Garvey will prove an exemplary prisoner and bear his affection with the resignation of a man suffering for what he believes to be a righteous cause. If, however, Garvey is permitted to live and forced to serve the entire sentence and pay the fine it is the opinion of the editor of this cotton plantation paper that it will be a very, very dark spot on the gown of American justice. The powers that he could do a no more righteous act than the pardoning of Garvey, and they cannot hold themselves blameless by assuming the role of Pontius Pilate. Not an Enemy of United States Garvey is not an enemy of this country by dreaming of an African Republic controlled by negroes. He would certainly have the same problems to solve there as here. Then there are no na- Children with Rickets Need Cod Liver Oil For weak, puny, under-developed children—and especially those that have rickets, and need a sure builder that promotes the growth of teeth and bodies, cod liver oil is the one medicine supreme—nothing helps like it. But it is nasty and repulsive and even the most nearly always upsets children to stoop down to-date chemists advise McCoy's Cod Liver Compound Oil Tablets. Children, love them as they do candy, because they are sugar coated and easy to take. One boy gained 111 pounds in seven weeks, and is now healthy and happy—thousands of children have grown strong and robust. Sixteen treats for 50 cents at drugstores all over North America—but beware and ask for McCoy—the original and genuine—Ady. lives here to go back to Africa, our ancestral home, for it so happens that our ancestors, halt from the four corners of the earth. Certain it is, he is a better friend than that gang of Negro agitators who make their living by the wabble of their tongues and the sweat of their jaws, in painting hell pictures of the South and heavenly pictures of the North, and thus inducing, for a compensation for themselves, our people to leave their manner born homes, where we have priority to many lines of endeavor, especially the production of cotton and yes, oftimes their own lands, to become a buffer group in the industrial cities of the North, to be used to force the white industrial labor to the terms of the industrial captains and in the end bring the American white laborer on parallel terms with the pauper labor of Europe and Abia. Then in case the white labor comes to terms and surrenders, the misguided people of our race will be cast out, the white labor given the preference and our Norls must then root hog or die. The Crime of the Age The public crime of the age was the functioning of the Department of Labor under the camouflage of Commissioner of Negro Economics and of which the Urban League appeared to be an unofficial ally in upsetting our people, even from their own farm land homes to take up their abode in the industrial cities of the North. This is the coming section of the United States, and other groups of people will be too glad to fill the gap we foolishly make. Their lands they have abandoned of their own and the landlord's lands they have abandoned and surrendered their priority rights, will continue to advance. Mississippi is destined to have manufacturing villages all over it, especially when direct trade relations are made out of Gulf Port to Mexico and the Latin American States, if we get our share of power from Muscle Shoals; and if we are hocos pocused out of it, we opine the Mississippi Power Company will solve the problem. When our people are no longer needed as a buffer group what can and what will the Urban League do to rescue them? We had better stick to our lands. Well it is to be remembered the President of the Urban League, who, for some unaccountable empape best, known to themselves was, and possibly is now, a white Pennsylvania Gamester lawyer, coldly and boldly announced that if the South did not co-operate they would use Getting guns on us. We don't know what he meant by "co-operate," but we do know what the use of Getting guns mean. LIVE NEWS OF WEEK Foreign Recently the arrival of the Earl of Balfour in Damascus, Syria, was made the occasion for a furious outburst in the part of the Arabs, culminating in a riotous demonstration which threatened his life, and which the police were powerless to disperse. Only the intervention of military forces saved the situation. The British Consul and a delegate of the French High Commissioner accompanied the Earl to Damascus. Definite agreement has been reached for the movement of 450,000 settlers from Great Britain to Australia. Negotiations for this movement have been in progress for more than twelve months. This movement is looked upon as the most comprehensive measure ever adopted for developing pioneer territory. The emigrants need not possess any capital whatever to take advantage of this scheme. Their passages will be paid and they will receive technical training, machinery and periodic payments during the first five years. Thousands are facing-starvation and living in squatter as a result of a month's strike of coal miners at Sydney, Nova Scotia. In four days travel through the stricken districts many families were found with five and ten children living in two room company houses with not enough clothing to cover their bodies. Pregnant mothers, pale and emaculated have been without food for four days. Relief committees and charitable individuals are hardly able to contribute enough food to keep body and soul together. . . . The National Association of Italian Women has issued a manifesto declaring that forty-eight nations have granted the vote to women and that Italy runs the risk of being taken to take the step. Premier Mussolini at one time publicly promised his country-women the vote, but recently committees of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies rejected woman's suffrage as a step too inopportune to be taken at this time. Italian suffragists declare that they have been the victims of a political game. Domestic Col. William A. Taylor, successor to Col. Arthur W. Little as Commander of the 33th Infantry, New York National Guard, assumed his new duties at a meeting and drill of the regiment recently. Col. Taylor was appointed despite a movement among Negroes in Harlem to hive a member of their own race head this well known Negro regiment. Col. Little gave no reason for his resignation, but it is generally believed that he was influenced by the desire among Negroes to have a Negro in command. Representative Martin E. Madden Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, asserts that the surplus in the United States Treasury next year will exceed $250,000,000. He points out that this will enable Congress to reduce income taxes by that amount. President Coolidge does not believe that Mr. Madden's plan is practical, but is reserving judgment until he has conferred with Secretary Mellon and its sponsor concerning it. Federal Judge Francis A. Winslow, presiding in the Naturalization Court in New York, recently stated that women making application for final citizenship papers are more advanced in reading and a general knowledge of the English language than most of the men making similar application. Judge Winslow makes it a practice to personally examine all candidates before coming before him. The latest chapter in the history of the National Disabled Soldiers' League which gained notoriously through the investigation of its campaigns to self lead penicils, supposedly for the benefit of wounded war veterans, was written when Postmaster General New signed a fraud order barring the organization and its literature from the use of the mails. Several days of silence has developed a mystery as to the fate of the steamship Arcturus, carrying William Beebe and a group of scientists into the South Pacific Ocean on an oceanographic expedition for the New York Zoological Society. The Arcturus carries a total of fifty-one persons and has two wireless outfits on board, with which her officers had agreed to keep in daily communication with New York. A reassuring message was received as we go to press. A new branch of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War was formed in Atlantic City recently. Membership is restricted to World War veterans who have suffered loss of more than 60 per cent of vision. The large plant at the Westinghouse Airbrake Company, which was moved from Leukengrad to Yaroslav in 1919, has been approximated by the Soviet State metal monopoly to satisfy the Government's claim against the company for $900,000 rupee. The plant was offered at public auction, but as them were so brave the Government took it over for operation. A National movement against mob violence has been started in Harlem by an organization known as the Stop Lynching League of Colored Women. In Ruling Africans and Asiatics the French Appear Broader and More Liberal—Native) Africans Barred as Law Makers (From the Gold Coast Times) The views of M. Diagne on African movements, as given to a Paris newspaper few months back, are in harmony with those of other African leaders. M. Diagne holds the view that any movement among Africans will not be directed against the white race but against some of the methods of civilization, such movements, will be organized to resist oppression and exploitation, to maintain the manhood of the race, and to save the soul from the debasing influences of Western civilization. These are the opinions we have been expressing in these columns, and it is gratifying to observe that not only Africans in the British sphere of influence but those outside it are of like mind as to the evils we have to resist. This is satisfactory not only because it is desirable to agree upon the nature of the evils threatening the race; but we can jointly apply remedies with some effect, but the fact that we all feel that we are suffering from common ailments is just what will bring the race together in the great task of working out its own salvation. Now that the Germans are eliminated from the field of colonial administration, a comparison of the British and French colonial systems becomes an interesting study. We have, first of all, M. Diagno, an African sifting in the French Senate as the member for Senegal. The French Senate is the equivalent of the British Parliament, and to this august assembly, which directs the destiny of the French empire, this African is elected to represent the interests of the members of his race. It may sound strange in the ears of our people who are without representation even in the legislature of their own country. But it is true that an African now sits in the French Parliament because the French, unlike our British friends, are not afflicted with the incurable disease of race prejudice. Besides, the French are evolving a civilization in their African dependencies the aim of which is to place Africans on the same level with Frenchmen so that together the two races can make a common sacrifice in safeguarding the French empire and share equally the spoils of victory. It is a high ideal. It amounts to this, that where Africans can show the same merit as Europe, they become immediately eligible for positions to which Frenchman can aspire. If, for example, we were living in a French dependency with the number of Africans among us who have completed their education in Europe and qualified in law, medicine, engineering and in other professions, the government will place them in prominent positions, on their application, and make the best possible use of them in advancing their less enlightened brethren. In a French dependency with a large number of well educated natives, as we have in the Gold Coast, there would be today several natives occupying positions as heads of departments equally with white men without any racial distinctions. For while with the British it is color rather than merit, with the French it is merit rather than color. We say deliberately that the British judge by color rather than by merit, and if any one is disposed to question this statement, let him first of all tell us how is it that though the British have been in this country for over two centuries there is not a single African holding the post of a head of department today while the French have in less than a century been able to discover merit. In black men and have advanced them to the highest official positions to which a white man can aspire. When we point out these grinding wrongs we are told that we are being trained and that it will be all right with us in the end. But we know what is at the back of the mind of our white guides, and if they have their way we shall be where we are today a thousand years hence it by that time the British Empire is still a living organization. In the French dependence the administration makes full use of the educated natives in the work of uplifting the people and that accounts for the rapid progress made there. In the British dependencies the contrary is the case, and educated, Africans, particularly those educated in Europe, are the objects of the inveterate hatred of English officials. They are shut out of the public service while efforts are made to suppress them; and officials even go out of their way to prejudice them in the eyes of the natural rulers of the country. Really, there is nothing to compare with the colonial officials hatred of a colored man who is as qualified and cultured as himself. In British West Africa the right of electing their own people to the legislative council was only recently granted to the two dependencies of Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The people of the Gold Coast and the Gambia have yet no voice in their administration. But this right was conceded after the people had assailed the British authorities for it. It was not a right conceded willingly. It was a concession wrenched from the authorities. Now, if the people have had so much difficulty in getting the British Government to do them, the simple justice of allowing them to effect their own representatives to the Legislature to this part in the make- If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT, if you are suffering with RACHACHE, STAFF MUSCLES, BORE LIMES, PAINFUL JOINTS, ACHING BONES.

DO IT TODAY. ing of the laws by which they are governed and to watch public expenditure, it will naturally seem outrageous to the 'English mind' if Africans were to put forward the claim that since in time of war they would be called to make a common sacrifice with Englishmen in the defense of the Empire, they ought to be allowed representation in the Imperial Parliament, which has the power to declare war or peace, apart altogether from the expediency of having African representatives on the soil to give first-hand information on native affairs. As we have said, such a claim would appeal to the English mind as outrageous, but to the French mind it is but a natural, logical demand, and we have M. Diagne and others站在 the French Senate and representing native interests. We are advancing the point by way of indicating French outlook. But we are not urging that Africans should be elected to the Imperial Parliament. How can we in reason suggest such a thing when in our own country we are not allowed to elect members to the Legislature? We have dwelt on these thoughts for many seasons. We have advanced them because we feel it our duty both to ask country, and to the empire of which it forms a part, to bring these facts to the surface in order that those among the British people who can exercise a healthy influence on colonial policy may not ultimately plead, when things have grown from bad to worse and become more difficult to remedy, that they did not set for lack of knowledge. Doubless, what we have said above will be all unpleasant reading to those among our white friends who regard with complacency the British colonial system as the best of all pos- You too,can Earn $200 aWeek I Will Show You How, Without Investment, Experience or Training, You Can Make $800 in 30 Days and Be On the Way to a Big Success If you are making less than $100 a week, write to me at once, and I will show you how you can more than double your income.

Simple as A B C I am one of the largest manufacturers of high-grade topcoats and raincoats in America. In every community I appoint a representative, and this representative has the same opportunity of making money as most merchants, doctors or professional men have. My representative doesn't have to pay rent nor salaries, nor take any of the other ordinary business risks and expenses. All the profit he makes he keeps for himself. People like to buy direct from the factory, for all the money sayed by selling this way is passed on to the customer. They know all about Comer All-Weather Topcoats and Itaum Coats. They know they are big bargains. It is a common thing for one of my representatives to make $20 in a single day, and every dollar they make is net profit. J. R. Head, of Kansas, did. In a single day Mr. Head made $9.90 clear profit for himself. R. W. Kleeger made $20 in half an hour. George Garon cleared $40 profit his very first day. He had to make a representative, and all you need to do is call on my customers and send me their orders. It is the most pleasant, dignified and profitable work that any one can do.

A short while ago Lord Raglan stood up in his place in Parliament and exposed administrative anomalies in Northern Nigeria, which reminded us during the American war. We were of the attitude of the Earl of Chatham deeply interested in what Lord Raglan said because we are convinced that it is plain speaking, like his that will save the empire and prolong its existence, but not the sophistries of those who would cry peace when there is no peace. But above all we have indulged in these thoughts because we value the British connection and shall be grieved to see the British looten by the French in colonial administration. So far British has managed to lead in colonial administration, but she is now living on her past reputation and her position is being challenged by the French. And unless reforms are introduced and the direction of the destiny of the dependencies played in the hands of conscientious administrators who would seek the true welfare of the people rather than their money, the time will come when it cannot be said, as it may now be asserted, that British colonial administration is comparatively the best of all colonial systems.

LET'S PUT IT OVER THE PRINCE OF WALES IN SOUTH AFRICA WHEN the Prince of Wales plans to tour any part of the British Commonwealth of Nations there is always a great commotion in all of the dominions. The heir to the throne is an object of peculiar interest to all of the subjects of the king. Everybody wants to get as near his person as is possible. There is much that is slavish in this disposition and much more that is knavish. Those on whom the Prince emiles graciously expect something of the king when he comes into his own. It is a human weakness, much of which was shown by a certain portion of the people of the United States when the Prince of Wales was recently in the country for a little visit. It is a human weakness, confined to no one race, to desire to be, on good terms with "the man higher up," but it is often a slavish or a knavish weakness. When it was proposed that the Prince of Wales should make an extended tour of South Africa and South America much objection was made by labor leaders and others who felt that the expense of the tour should be saved to the taxpayers and the wage-earners, more than a million of the latter being now out of employment and living on doles, a form of charity, issued by the Government. The old theory that "The king can do no wrong," and that "the people's money is the King's to spend," has lost its grip on the imagination and in the beliefs of mankind. Democracy, the rule of the people, has driven royal, nobility and priest rule out of the administration of public affairs. Self-determination is now the dominant spirit of mankind everywhere. The Prince of Wales is now in Africa. Before he reached there the Gold Coast Times, published on the West Coast, Africa, February 28, warned the natives not to allow the political officers of the government to speak for them in their addresses to the Prince but to write and deliver their own addresses to him. The Times says: "The object of the Government is not to make our Natural Rulers the voice of the people but the echo of the Government, not the oracle of the tribal States but the mouthpiece of the Government reciting official sentiments. And our Natural Rulers must be on their guard lest they be turned into talking machines for reproducing official expressions. They are, therefore, not to consent to append their signatures to an officially-prepared address. A welcome address to the royal visitor must come from themselves and should be a plainly-worded document expressing briefly welcome and loyalty. It must be devoid of anything in the character of politics, and it must not contain a single word for or against the Government. We can be sure of this, that if any address is presented which contains anything said for or against the Government or its work, or anything of a controversial nature, such assertions will be challenged and a long public controversy will ensue which will spoil the effect of the royal visit. We hope we have said enough to put our Natural Rulers on their guard and all concerned to be careful in the matter. We have been exploited in several ways but we are not going to permit the royal visit also to be utilized as a means of furthering the ends of administrators or those among our own leaders who are endeavoring to make their people pawns in the game for promoting their selfish ambitions." This is good and timely advice and it is to be hoped that the natives followed it. The cabbed needs from points in South Africa inform us that the natives gave the Prince a very enthusiastic welcome, into the spirit of which he appeared heartily to enter. It is to be hoped that he will study closely the condition of the native people in the Union of South Africa, against which they are earnestly protesting, and lend his high offices to bringing about some amelioration of it. British rule in the Union of South Africa has degenerated into a form of actual slavery for the natives, who are constrained to labor under prescribed conditions and who must have passes to be able to be away from their places of employment without being arrested; the same sort of thing that prevailed in the days of slavery in the United States. THE INFERIORITY COMPLEX A RACE HANDICAP TO BE OVERCOME THE manner in which the Negro was transplanted to America and injected into its economic life has had certain far-reaching effects upon his mental outlook that more than a half century of freedom has failed to eradicate. Slavery has bred in some members of the race a reverence for what they believe to be the superior intelligence of the white man. One would not expect to see much of this a generation away from the Emancipation Proclamation, but those who attempt to work with the larger groups of American Negroes are constantly annoyed and embarrassed by this attitude on the part of those whom they would help on to higher and better things. These emancipated and progressive members of the race know that the emancipation of being and doing anything that the white man does is the emancipation in favor of the Negro. And, just in the face of emancipation and apparently unfamiliar, there are Negroes who contend particularly well all efforts to place members of the race in positions of trust and importance in the community and Nation. Whenever such a movement is started there are always those who immediately start a counter-movement and who unheathingly and openly declare that they prefer a white man or woman to a Negro. We may be charitable and call this state of mind a hang-over of slavery, but it is no less a shame and disgrace to the race. One of the largest Northern cities in this country is today a monument to such a group of traitorous members of the race. In spite of the fact that this city contains more than 75,000 Negroes, it has not one Negro teacher in its public schools. Time after time petitions have been circulated, political action brought to bear and every effort made to open this channel of employment to Negro women who have qualified to teach in this district. Each time those who are pleading and fighting for what is rightfully theirs as citizens and taxpayers are embarrassed and humiliated by being faced with a counter-petition to the School Board stating in no uncertain terms that the signers are opposed to the appointment of Negro women as teachers in the public schools. Editor of the New York Times By TOWER MAN "Praise from Sir Indeed." In New York, now editor, I had a long talk with tune—Who is he? Negro journalism came his name taking first. Founder of the New York Jerome Peter name of Fortune as a powerful instrument that well known pu when racial Journals This is but one flagrant example of a condition which is met with far too often. It is hard for the Negro who believes in his people to understand. Certainly prejudice is strong enough and bitter enough outside the race. It would seem that no sane Negro would wish to add to this almost unbearable burden. We question what must be the state of mind of the white man who witnesses this exhibition of disloyalty. He could have no respect for such a group. Unfortunately, these "murderers" of ambition are often those who ought to have higher race ideals because of their larger educational opportunities. They are the riddles of the race. We are hoping that time will solve the riddle. Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not expected to be afflicted with the inferiority complex. They are expected to maintain that as a race and as individuals they are equally entitled to the same consideration given to others in their own land and in the lands where they are strangers, according to the laws of the time and place, having all of the time the same measure of self-determination as others in their social, civil and economic values. THE YOUNG NEGRO IS DOING THINGS WE are quite often startled by the doings of young Negroes. They are doffing something all of the time that is unusual and that attracts favorable notice. Harry F. Lipscomb, a nineteen-year-old Negro lad, has startled critics by a novel, "The Prince of Washington Square." He is now busy on his second novel. It is his ambition to write a hundred novels, a number of short stories, and perhaps a few plays. He also wants to adapt, direct and produce his stories on the screen. He surely is ambitious. We wish this young person much success in his chosen line. It is quite refreshing to read of something worth while that has been done by our girls and boys outside of the common. The expression, "Young and foolish," does not apply to all of the hobbed-haired girls, nor all the bell-bottomed trousered boys. If there are only two children in a family, one is always more level-headed than the other. The harem-scarem youngster may turn out to be the best manager of affairs. We all have been surprised at some time or other to see that "bad" boy or "frivolous" girl grow to be the extraordinary man or the efficient woman. Some outgrow the unavailable promises of their, youth. It lies with the person concerned whether or not he expects to make the world take notice. You can be one of the "moving millions" or you can be the recognized individual. Many get paid for what they do, but many more get paid for what they know. It is a little harder to acquire the knowledge, but when you have it, no one can take it from you. The student today has such rich opportunities that it should be a pleasure to study instead of a bore. If some of our forefathers could come back for a few minutes, they would declare that it was not the same world they left; the same world in which they had to walk miles to a little two-by-four shack called the country" school house, and where there were not enough books to go round. If there were too many children in a family only a few attended school, while the others did chores about the house and farm. It would not be surprising to see in 1950 young men commuting by aeroplanes to and from school. When subjects are not definitely outlined, they will press the button of the radio, its name will probably be changed by that time, and take dictation, maybe, on self-turning pads.

In New-York, in the office of The Negro World, of which he is now editor, I had the great pleasure of a long talk with T. Thomas Fortune—Who is he? No history of Negro journalism can be written without his name taking first rank in the story. Founder of the New York Age, he with Jerome Peterson, under the firm name of Fortune and Peterson, made a powerful instrument for good out of that well known publication at a time when racial journalism was looked upon with small degrees of concern. In those days the classes, not the masses, read. Edward E. Cooper introduced a new day in Negro journalism when he made the Indianapolis Freeman and illustrated newspaper. Pictures are the universal language of mankind. Cooper, withdrawing from the Freeman, and the same taken over by the eternal Knoxes, George L. father, and Elwood, son, went to Washington and established the Colored American. Booker T. Washington, more than any man we have produced, unless it be Frederick Douglas, knew the value and power of the printed word. Dr. Washington cultivated close personal friendship with editors: T. Thomas Fortune was his When I first became an editor some years ago, a letter of commendation from Mr. Fortune was one of the prize records of our struggling but hopeful office. Shortly after the Associated Negro Press was established, Mr. Fortune wrote a comment of praise on the standard and necessity of the service that is still used as a tabist of inspiration. There has never been anything of the scapophant about Mr. Fortune. He has always had a good word to say about the new members of the Fourth Estate. To talk with him is an education in itself. He is rich in experience and memories-of-great contracts. For years his editorial utterances have been quoted by great dailies of the country. Today, besides his work on the Negro World, he writes for the Tattler magazine and is one of the editorial writers of the justly-famed Norfolk. Journal and Guide, Mr. Fortune is 68 and is vigorous in his desires to keep on writing. He is neither wealthy nor penitious. Colored editors could well afford to see that this Nesbor of Journal never knows want. T. Thomas Fortune bore the burden of the fight in the heat of the day. An Australian Opinion Of Africa for Africans From Pegh (Australia) Daily News At a time when the people of America are considerably agitated over clauses of the immigration restriction act, which limits the influx of people of foreign nationalities and excludes Japanese, it is interesting to learn that a movement has been growing in the United States for the repatriation of the Negroes to Africa. The movement has assumed considerable dimensions, as can be appreciated from the fact that a petition has been presented to President Coolidge purporting to represent the wishes of 4,000,000 American Negroes, said to be members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, urging co-operation in the desire to transfer the Negro population to Africa. The petitioners ask the President to submit to Congress at its next session a message embodying the sentiment of the petition offered. In behalf of these 4,000,000 American Negroes and that he assemble in creating "through the Republic of Liberia, which was founded through the efforts of Liberal white Americans," an open door for the reception of Negroes from the United States. The repatriation of millions of colored people would be a tremendous undertaking, and, for America, it might be assumed that the movement would be welcome if at all possible of achievement. Strange to say, however it is meeting with opposition. It is complained that it has made an appeal to race prejudice, because the petitioners state that "with the growth in numbers and efficiency of the Negro race in the United States, race conflict seems certain to arise." That, indeed, seems a self-evident truth to people in Australia, yet some Americans are arguing that this sweet contrary is true. They claim that the problems of the Negro are being solved as he becomes better educated and more efficient, and that the matter of numbers has never been one for serious consideration. They say that half a century of progress since the Civil War has brought the Negro nearer than ever before to a position of individual if not of racial equality, and that the oppression endured by his forebears is to him little more than traditional. Further, it is claimed that a huge percentage of the Negroes in America would not any action which would deprive them of their liberty of freedom in America. In the light of experience it is difficult to appreciate arguments which encourage the right of black and white people to live together as equal freemen, especially when the colored race is out-distancing the whites in the matter of birth姿势. The Negro was imported to America against his will, and if there is room in Africa for him as six independent Negro nation, history suggests that it will be wise to encourage any movement which would enable him to return to the land of his forebears. Written for The Negro World By VIRGINIA WESTON We all know that New York city has become the largest and most wonderful city in the world. Some, perhaps, may not agree with me on the wonder part, but to me it is wonderful enough, so that when you have lived here any length of time you can live with ease anywhere on the globe. There if a world of knowledge in New York outside of the schools and collages, I mean by this the plain, everyday life. You will not only have learned economy, but how to think systematically. Everything that is done in New York is interesting because done differently. One doesn't trust the other any longer than he or she can be seen. When you meet someone who keeps Ms. word, you can put yourself on the back and mark that one case down in the memo book. One young lady recently asked the opinion of a friend as to what he had to say about her coming to New York. He replied: "You'll either come back a wiser woman or be sent home a corpse." One thing the New York women can be complimented upon is their practical philosophy. No "Prince Charming" can spell out a tale about his wealth, car home in which she, will not have to work, and other hallucinations. At once she has need for some of his enormous bankroll. Either her rent hasn't beep paid or a coat will be sent to the house and the bank closed before she could draw any money, or her insurance is due for three months, or a brother died in the Fiji Islands. "Prince Charming" rides away with his fairy tales, and there is more trouble for him. He will say to the first person he meets that New York women are deadbeats, forgetting that the woman's logic was as sensible as his. The slogan seems to be: "If you have anything, produce: if not, take the air." Even the children are careful in counting their change when they make purchases. If there is any doubt in their minds, they turn with inquisitive eye and say in the slang, "Don't gry me now." When they are sharing anything among themselves, if an equal division is not made there is trouble in the air. There has been so much crooked work done in the big city that everyone stands on his guard. In no other city in the country do people talk through their doors except in New York. You had better know who and what you want without, any hesitation whatever. If you expect to gain entrance, this applies to apartment houses, where you are challenged at the door. You can have an argument with anyone but your laddy! All she wants is the rent on time. It is not rare with roomers, who have met with a little misfortune and are behind with their rent, to return to their rooms and find their belongings all ready for the expressman. Would this happen in the smaller cities? Maybe. This is due to the clever set of folk who have tried to "lumb" their rent. New Yorkers have been pushed to do many of the things they do. If you can do more than one thing in New York you can live without strain, but if you can do only the one thing, the other thing you will be compelled to do is to think of a way out of the mire. With the many fields of work open in New York and the way some folks cry hard times, yet the streets are full of men loitering, dressed up. When you catch the trend of conversation it is usually about the "races" or "numbers." How soon will those poor creatures find out that the olds will always be against them? All do not earn their bread by the sweat of their brow; some earn it by the use of their wits.' If you want to learn a lot in a little while, spend some time in New York. The experience will be worth the price. Forgetting, all of our mistakes and shortcomings, we are steadily climbing the ladder of success and taking our places in the world like other races. The time has come when the Negro must get up and do something with our boys and girls coming out of school. There is no time for foolishness. Let us put our shoulders, to the wheel and do even greater things than our fathers did. Our opportunities are greater. There are great signs of improvement all over our country. It seems like we are determined to make it. Our professional men and women, farmers, carpenters, bushbucks, teachers and preachers have impovered so much that we are not ashamed of our race anywhere; that is, that group of our race that is preparing themselves for life's great battle. Applied Art at Hampton HAMPTON, Va., April 17.—Royal B. Farum, director of art education, Comm. meworth of Massachusetts and presi- dent of Massachusetts Normal Art Col- lege, in his recent chapel address to the Hampton Institute workers and stu- ents, said that he had been very much improved by the applied art at Hampton. "As far as I can tell," he said, "my drawing is done in the distract, at Hampton. Everything is done with a view to its being applied to everyday life in the school community. Overseed people have a definite contribution to make, especially through their native rhythm, to bring in a renaissance of art, which is equally coming to Amherst. The art of the colored people has rare charm and simplicity. It is very valuable con- tribution to American civilization." She Had Never Had a Cold Does it not seem almost unbelievable that a child of three had never had a cold? There was one, at least, and I can vouch for the fact of the assertion. From birth to the age of three the child was carefully guarded from the close contacts which bring large doses of infection, and, better still, she was so fed and cared for that her resistance was always high. Neither was she "shut away from the world." A much-traveled little lady, in fact. She sailed for Copenhagen when six weeks old, and spent the first two years of her fortunate life there in the cold north. The third year was spent in "foggy" England. And every morning that child had her cold bath and every day the regular meals and undisturbed rest. Then she returned to this country, and, alack and alss, to the house of her eager grandparents, both of whom had gold and an insistence that old-fashioned "awakenings of babies to show them off" were not harmful. In three days the poor little lady was learning that she could not breathe through an inflamed full nose and that coughing was annoying, and that waking in the night trying to get a breath was terrifying. Our babies are not obliged to have colds. You and I do not need to have colds. Colds can be things of the past, and pneumonia and influenza can be of the past, if we will bury in the past the old, mistaken habits of living and acting. Why do we not make concerted efforts to bring the better state of affairs into being? Why do you and I not take care of ourselves? Why do we not put our children's health before our desire to fondle them when we carry risk to them? Why do we not wipe out the fear of hurting other people's feelings when we should protect their actions which endanger the well-being of our small girls and daughters? Is it necessary to ask? Do we care more for the notions of friends and relatives than we do for the health and happiness and freedom from suffering of our most precious babies—our babies? The. Echo of a Classic From a Panhandler From the Evening World In a cold, dark street in the inhospitality of early morning an aged begar, white of beard, threadbars of clothing and generally forlorn, importured a more fortunate pedestrian than he for "a dime for a bed." There was something rather, gentler in the old man's voice than the usual, assumed whiten of the panhandler. He looked patisigal and benevolent, the sort of gentleman (if one did not glance below the eyes at the shabby coat) one sees in pictures giving pennies to deserving children. The pedestrian halted and said, almost involuntarily, that it was a bad night for one to be homeless. Thereupon, began the hard-luck story. It was more or less the same song-song, but dealt mainly with the hard-heartedness of a brother-in-law who had brought the old fellow to his present straits. "Man's inhumanity to man," the pedicatrian said as he dropped a coin into the eager hand. "Yes, makes countless thousands mourn," replied the baggar, rounding out the familiar quotation. But who would have thought that a panhandler would have known his Bobble Burns that well? STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MAN- QUIRRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF August 14, 1912 N.Y., N. Y.

THE UNIVERSAL PUBLISHING HOUSE 40 West 11th Street, New York City, N. Y. Phone Morton 2077 Written for The Negro World BY WESLEY MACD. HOLDER It is a very healthy sign in the life of any institution when youth is interested in those things which are conducive to progress and achievement. Everywhere in the Universal Negro Improvement Association we find the youth of the Negro race expressing interest in its program. The youth of a race is something which one has to watch with a careful eye. During the French Monarchial Government, the youth of the French race was seized with the spirit of democracy, he was dissatisfied with such terms as "subjects" and "ruling classes." He was inoculated through oppression and injustice, with the spirit of government by the people instead of by a few. The result was the overthrow of the monarchial for a constitutional government. At the present we find the youth of Germany in a reactive state. He feels France on his neck, and he is not concerned how France got there, but is demeaningating a spirit which will ultimately break the strangle hold of France. As it was, with the French youth, as it is with German youth, so is it with the youth of the Negro race. The Negro youth seems to be saying like the French youth. "Tremble yantre for we are coming, yield oppressors for we are living." Let the world continue insulting any class or group of people and you will find some day the youth of that class or group rising as a great and mighty gint for his protection of its kind. Youth is a dangerous thing when it knows what it wants. Youth has a daring and dashing that has to be reckoned with some time or the other in the life of its people. The Negro youth is not blind to its wants. It feels like being Governors of States, Senators, Congressmen and Presidents of countries. He is pursuing this feeling with an uncompromising determination. Try to check the new and awakened aspirations and ambitions of the Negro youth and you will find that you are kindling an unquenchable fire. The. Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the able leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, is responsible for this new Negro, and in appreciation of his services the youth of Liberty Hall, New York, render a program at 8 p. m. every first Sunday of each month, in honor of him who has fired their hearts and minds with new desires and new hopes. Sunday afternoon, April 4, is one that will never be forgotten at Liberty Hall. The chair was filled by Mr. E. Stewart, Commander of, the Juveniles Cadet Corps, and the program was as follows: "From Greenland's key mountains"; Prayer; Hymn; "God Bless Our President"; Opening remarks by Cadet K.

The reason is plain—the article no longer fulfills the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost soils itself, as his an endless chain system the remedy is communicated to the whole community benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for its curative results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a market." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact. so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes urinary acid which causes whimism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer, & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Mr. Stewart, who made the address of the afternoon, won many plaudits from the great audience. His address in part follows: "The Hon. Marcuss Garvey, proclaimed in his speech that he came not into the city to break the good relationship between the black and the white people, neither did he come to praise, one group of colored people and scorn the other groups, but he came to speak in order that all groups and racial factions might come to one great common understanding, and that is, all people identified with the Negro race might work together for the accomplishment of one great idea in this free and independent republic. The Negro must have a place where he can give true expressions to his manhood rights." If not in the final round the Negro will find himself an object of plty by those whose hearts are right, and an object of scorn by those who do not know that out of one blood the great architect created all nations to dwell on the face of the earth. Mr. Stewart's address was a master piece, and on the whole the program of the afternoon was an expression of new thought, new ambitions and new desires, as aroused by the marry leaders of the Negro race, the Hon. Marcuss Garvey." THE RIGHT TO SERVE ON JURY MANDATORY The Famous Case of Neal vs. Delaware Determined the Matter—Negro Cannot Be Legally Denied Jury Service — White Juries and the Negro's Rights Columbian Press Bureau Neal et. Delaware, (1850): In the case of William Neal, a Delaware Negro, who, after being tried in a lower courts of the State, was, on May 27, 1850, sentenced to death by hanging, appeal was made to the United States Supreme Court, whose bench was at that time graced by Honorable Chief Justice Morrison R. Wattle, and his associates, Hon. Nathan Clifford, Hon. Samuel F. Miller, Hon. Joseph P. Bradley, Hon. John M. Hardan, Hon. Noah H. Swainy, Hon. Stephen J. Field, Hon. Ward Hunt, and Hon. William B. Woods. Neal, represented upon appeal by U. S. Attorney General Charles Devine and Anthony Higgins, of Delaware, and opposed by Attorney General Gray, of Delaware, cited the fact that the Delaware Constitution (adopted in 1831) provided that in all general elections every free (white) male citizen of the age of twenty-two years should be entitled to vote, and that all persons who qualified to vote at the general election should be liable to serve as jurors. His attorney showed that in the Delaware court in which Neal was convicted persons of African descent were excluded from jury service and that, hence, Neal had been deprived of his full rights under the amended U. S. Constitution, as to which Justice Harlan, of the U. S. Supreme Court, said: "Beyond question the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment had the effect, in law, to remove from the State Constitution of Delaware, or render imperative that provision which restricts the right of suffrage to the white race." The U. S. Supreme Court said, further, "It is too plain for argument that the express letter of her constitutional and statutory provisions persons of color do not possess the election franchise and are excluded from jury service." Cognizance was taken of the fact that Delaware had voted against the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and had never attained (59) her Constitution to conform to them. In his brief, Neal, plaintiff in error, had shown that Chief Justice Comeys of the Delaware court had said: "That none but white men were selected (for jury service) is in no wise remarkable in view of the fact—too notorious to be ignored—that the great body of black men residing in this State (Delaware), are utterly unqualified by want of intelligence, experience or moral integrity—to sit on juries. The exceptions are rare." Although dissenting opinions were rendered by Mr. Chief Justice Watte and Mr. Justice Field, the U. S. Supreme Court held, "in case of Nenva, Delaware, that 'the exclusion, because of their race and color, of citizens of African descent from the grand jury that found, and from the petit jury that was summoned to try, the indictment, if made by the jury commissioners, without authority derived from the Constitution and laws of the State, was a violation of the prisoners' rights, under the Constitution and laws of the United States, which the trial court was bound to re- Do you realize the amount of money you can save by placing your adv. copy with a well-organized paper?

Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (From The Union Messenger) The Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, St. Augustine, Trinidad, is now attracting attention from the four quarters of the globe. While the institution must still be regarded as an experiment, yet judging from the generous and influential support it is now receiving, it may be viewed as an expert which has already met with a measure of success. The Imperial Government and the Governments of the various West Indian Colonies have guaranteed the college a working income and this supplemented by private contribution from time to time will gradually place the governors of the institution in the position to fulfill the object of its establishment. It should, however, be borne in mind that the college was primarily intended to meet the needs of the West Indies to by those who are responsible for its management. To demonstrate the usefulness of the College, the West Indies should be able to absorb a great many of its highly trained industries, but this the islands may not be in a position to do if they remain in their present state of industrial semi-development. The West Indies require much more than being merely the site of this Empire institution and this is a point which we desire to impress upon the minds of British and Canadian financiers. The West Indies need capital to develop these industries that are painting for finance and to establish new and revive old ones. The Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture should help to induce financiers to invest their money in these colonies. If it is desired that these tropical islands should reap direct benefit from an institution primarily intended to assist them, and if the significance of the opening paragraph of Lord Burnham's circular letter appealing for contributions in support of the 100,000 pounds required to fully equip the college is appreciated. A great deal of British capital finds its way to foreign countries, e.g. Mexico, while the people of the colonies are lip fed on the subject of "Trade within the Empire." Our own admiration of the late Labor, Government is second to none; but we depreciate their anxieties to assist Soviet Russia, even though Soviet Russia had refused to give guarapeptes. It is difficult for us to believe that charity begins at home. On the contrary it seems that charity begins abroad, and only what is left is brought home. The British people have been most short-sighted in this matter. They have apparently Try this quick and simple method which thousands now use.

South African imagination is excited by another Barney Barnato—another prospector whose bitter struggles against hope deferred, have all at once and strangely come to a climax in brilliant success. Adolphe Erasmus, discoverer of the new platinum lode, in the future of which Johannesburg is widely speculating, really had found this platin m once years before. But as he was looking for yellow, not white metal, the significance of the find did not then appear to him and he trekked elsewhere. Chance rumors that gold had been unearthed in his old diggings drew him back—and he came upon deposits of platinum, which may alter all South Africa's economic future. It is a romantic tale of treasure lost and found. The story in the South African Journal of Industries of December, 1823, indicates that chance played its part in the platinum discovery, for platinum had never been found before on such soil. Adolpho Erasmus is a prospector of long standing in the *Eranavaal*. In 1923 he was prospecting for tin when reports reached him of gold finds in the northwestern district. They interested him, because once he himself had found specks of gold on a farm there and he had often found among the yellow specks a small white "tail" in his pan; but what now concerned him was that gold had been uncovered in paying quantities. Very often good gold "panning" can be obtained from the mini-high antheape or termite mounds which abound in Africa. Erasmus, therefore, decided to return and delve into them. His new panning of a mound gave him not only a few specks of gold, but a heavy tail of grayish white concentrate that lagged behind the gold in the pan. Arguing that this was heavier than gold, as otherwise it could not lag behind it, he at once concluded that it was platinum. He kept up the work. The first platinum, which he found by continuous panning of the anthespe, was in nuggets about the size of a pinhead. Small pieces of float in the anthespe soon gave suggestion in the rock in which platinum was to be sought. Then by sheer luck a wonderful panning was got from one of the first samples taken from the outrop, a loose place of rock showing visible native platinum. Thus the existence of rich platinum on the formerly abandoned prospecting lot was proved. The lode was found to traverse a number of farms, and by November, 1922, as many as five companies had acquired rights. The platinum found occurs for the most part in small, well-shaped flattened crystals and in stingers and aggregates of such crystals. The bulk of the world's platinum has come so far from alluvial deposits derived from dumites and allied rocks and the so-called black sands. The recent discovery of platinum in a quantity hole in acid country rock extending over a considerable distance in therefore something new and unique. Naturally, the public was at first skeptical, but soon the platinum company stocks began to go up. About six years ago an automobile with some of the leading Transvaal stock brokers left Johannesburg for the forgotten the sacrifice in men, and money by these colonies when help was needed. Foreign needs should not receive first attention. The chapters of our history and the part played by the West Indies should be remembered by those who are now in positions of influence industrially, financially and politically. If the action of the British financiers and others had been logical the West Indies would not be crying out for much needed capital. This attitude of indifference to these colonies has resulted in the present industrial depression. As a unit of the Empire, the West Indies are well able to supply raw materials for British industries and afford a profitable market for their manufactures. The establishment of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture at Trinidad, will we hope, not only being home to the people of the Mother Country their own neglect of themselves and us, but will be a means of helping them to practically appreciate the worth of West Indian loyalty.

On a piece of property belonging to the so-called, Cornership, platinum was said to have been found and already speculators were besieging these brokers for information. The cornerhouse is the strongest and most powerful combination of gold mines, industrial and commercial enterprises, in the Union of South Africa and has its tenancies everywhere. The shares of this company (its real name is Consolidated Land) had begun to soar and the brokers wanted to "see for themselves" before they put the stock into their clients' hands. On the midcadam road which stretches from Johannesburg to Petoria the investigating party sped, halting at farm Reltfontein, about ten miles west of Naboonsrpruit Station. To the Boers, who principally inhabit that region, the name Riftontein has appeared significant and almost in the nature of an omen, for the naboom, a tree-like cactus, grows not only in the irrigated parts of South Africa, but also in the desert. While its juice burns and solids in spite of its milky-white appearance, the tree has always directed the African pioneer to a treasure more valuable even than platinum: wherever a naboom grows, there you may dig for treasure's most valuable and most sought after necessity—water. When the gold experts and the gold shore brokers arrived and inspected the find, they were astonished, but apparently convinced—for as soon as they returned to town—the shores of Consolidated Land soared quickly. MARCUS GARVEY AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM type of Nexro of a paler hue than his brothers. After his blood has been sufficiently tainted he begins to think in terms of the white race. This portion of the race often finds itself in the unfortunate position of being neither white nor black. The mental unrest which is the result of the prejudice and discrimination of the other race makes these individuals bitter. They wage a continuous war of rebellion and are a monace to the rats of the race. Their mental state makes it forever impossible for them to ever do anything except sow seeds of discord and unhappiness among those who have not been similarly curred. They can never contribute anything toward racial unity. It remains for the Negro who accepts the fact that God has made him a member of the black race and who has decided to work out his destiny as a racial type to put over the big program of the Negro. This does not necessitate an attitude of prejudice and intolerance toward the white race. Nor does it seek to encourage racial isolation on the page of the Negro. It simply means the acquiring of racial admiration and self-respect, the ability to see something worth white and beautiful in things that are purely Negroid. Those who have wondered wherein lay the appeal of Marcus Garvey to the mass of Negroes, need wonder no longer. They say of him that he has welded together more Negroes than anybody was ever known to interest in one cause before. This ought not be surprising to those who have done more than escape the surface of this so-called race problem. People of African descent who have not been so mixed with the blood of the white man as to weaken their morale, cared of whining and beating upon the doors of the white man, begging for racial equality and opportunity. They welcome a program that offers them a chance to work out their destiny in a lignified and independent manner. Get Your Own Home Racial intermingling will always exist as long as the two races dwell together. But right-thinking Negroes know that there would be less racial friction and more mutual respect and regard between black and white people if the Negro spent less time worrying about the treatment accorded him by his white brother, and more time developing himself along purely racial lines. Fighting, whining and crying to get into the house which the other man has built is no exhibition of common sense. It seems more sensible to build, beautify and admire a house of your own and dwell peacefully and contentedly therein. Black Americans who have philipter spent all of their time and energy fighting for what they please to term their "rights," need to give more than passing notice to the teachings of Marcus Garvey and the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The masses of Negroes have been hungering for a program which would enable them to hold up their heads. They have weared of playing the role of mendicants, grovelling at the feet of their oppressors and snatching at any chance moral of recognition. Is it a wonder that they flock to the feet of Marcus Garvey, who comes teaching a doctrine of racial salvation, inspiring, dignified and progressive? The U. N. I. A. will live on and on because millions of Negroes have caught the spirit of the thing. None can estimate how far-reaching is this racial revival. Amalgamation, will go on, but there will always be millions of men and women of the black race who think in terms of race and will continue to progress in terms of race. These are the ones who will perpetuate and immortalize the name and work of Marcus Garvey. Negroes Share in Community Chests A significant development in Southern communities is the inclusion of Negro welfare agencies in many, community cheat budgets. In Atlanta, for example, six or eight distinctive Negro agencies are included for a total of about $60,000; in Louisville such agencies participate to the amount of $66,000. In every case the colored people cooperate heartily in the chest campaign, making a thorough canvass and giving liberally in proportion to their means. In Atlanta, Louisville, Richmond, Savannah and Norfolk the work of the interracial committees has been included in the chest budgets for some ranging from $800 to $3,000. Louisiana Program Of Negro Welfare The Louisiana State Committee on Race Relations, in session recently in New Orleans, set the following objectives for the coming year: Efforts to secure a State normal school for Negroes and a reformatory for delinquent Negro boys, the creation of a State housing commission, the organization of local interracial committees in a number of centers and continuance of a campaign of educational publicity. Through the committee's efforts a bill providing for a State normal was passed almost unanimously last year, but failed for lack of the Governor's signature. special patented features.

C. was picked on the doors last Saturday night. We take it for granted that Buggs was responsible for it, because he surely has a following in Harlem. One fan admitted that he would miles to see Chick in action. Buggs put up one of the best fights we have ever seen him in, plenty of speed and very clever. We wonder what Rosenberg thinks of a meeting with this wonder boy. We do not think he is same enough to give it a lumble, for the Fay boys always try to avoid the colored boys whenever there is any class to them. They lack true sportsmanship. Marlowe never lost sight of the fact that he was facing a chimp, for in the second round he was ready to throw up the apache. In this round Suggs slapped him on the jaw and he tried to claim foul. Talk about a fellow trying to be yellow—but the third man in the ring was up to his game, and told him to come on and fight. Suggs won every round. In the semi-final Carl Carter lost to Jack DeKalme on points. This bout was rather tame, as neither one of the boys showed any class. Carter makes up good, with careful training he should be a good boy. We were quite interested in the bout between Buck Arbuckle, the sensational flush from Frisco, and Harry Gaba, a boy of class until he stepped in the ring Saturday night. Arbuckle (Frisco) gave him the worst beating he ever had. Gaba was dropped about five times. What saved him from receiving the fatal ten, we think, was the bunch of female friends of his that were present, for during the entire bout one could hear them saying, "Come on, Harry, come on, Harry!" They sure wanted to see him put Frisco away. Had he gotten the chance he would have done that thing, but Arbuckle being a real sport did not want to show him up in front of his female gang, for you know what it is to get the razzberry from the girls. Arbuckle won this bout easily. Next Saturday night's show being back to us impressions of another wonderful night.

Marcus Garyey should be sent to Frisco McCabe in the semi-final, the rest of the card is o. k. We do not think much of the card for the Milk Fund, as the colored boys are not given a show, so do not expect to draw from colored Harlem any buyers of tickets for this show. Negroes are willing to support any charity, but we must be represented therein. The show for the Italian Hospital fund will be very largely attended by the colored fans. There is a reason. We are represented. Wills and Weinert Signed Up Well, boys, here is some real first hand information for you, especially those of you who are interested in the boxing game. This is how news clipped from a daily paper, but go and get them news. Truth to say, ours was the only Negro paper represented at the signing of articles by Harry Wilts and Charley Woolnert. The signing took place at the Polo Grounds A. C. 15 West, 41st street, at 12:45 p. m., last Thursday, with a crowd of newspaper, camera and moving picture men on hand; so you see, pictures were taken of the first reel of a stellar attraction that will take place on June 19 at the Polo Grounds, for the benefit of the Italian Hospital Fund. What seems to be the trouble with the boys who write sports for the consumption of Negroes in and around Harlem? They don't seem to take any interest in the affairs of our boys, that is, we should show the other interesting parties that our men are not alone and that we are always anxious to be on hand to witness any such interesting affair. Let me tell you, fellows, Harry is admired by everybody, the White boys are just wild about him. One could hardly turn for the curious persons that wanted to take a look-and shake his hand and acclaim him the uncrowned heavyweight Champ. Why all this admiration? Because Wills is a fighter personified. We were cordially received, by Mr. Hubert Frugazy, promoter and also the treasurer of the fund, who extended us an invitation to join the party for lunch, after the articles were signed. This was to take place in a well-established restaurant in Eighth street. So much for the preliminaries. Now for the real thing. No later than last week we stated that the fans wanted to see Willa in action, and stated the reasons why. We want to say that the semi-final will be the cream of the entire show on June 13. And why do we say this? Because Harry's record is the best of them all. Did not Grob lose to Tiger Flowers on points in a bout some few months back? Did not Mickey Walker make a bad showing against Mike McTigue over in Jersey? Was not flowers knocked out twice by Jack Delaney? Now, this is not said to boltle the boys in question. Far it from such, but you can see by the records of these leading lights, Harry Willa stands out, and away out in the extreme lead. I simply mention the above to show you that the turnstiles will work overtime on account of Harry's appearance on the card. We do not agree with Sid Mercer of the Evening Journal, when he says that Harry's standard will be dropped, because he is appearing in the semi-final. Say Sid, is it not for Sweet Charity? Is it not for the poor, suffering Italianas? So why slip us the drop stuff on Wills. We venture to say that the semi-final bout is what will actually bring in the money. And when you speak of Harry's mites—brittle hands—we will leave that to him; because he is capable enough to take a portion of them. Because they are what brings him his bread and butter. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1928 NEGROES ARE PROSPERING IN THE NEW SOUTH But Jim Crow Regulations Confront You at Every Town and Disgust You with It All—A Chat with Editor Davis Written for The.Negro World BY GEORGE A. WESTON President of the.New York Local A word about some of Atlanta's Negro business people, such as I could get around to see before I left. On Saturday, March 14; after return- ing from the Federal Prison, I went to Auburn avenue, where I was told the Negro business places are in past located. Walking a little way down the avenue I came to a very up-to-date looking furniture store. I stopped and looked up, and upon discovering it was run by Negroes I went in. "Is this a colored place?" "Yes," was the quick response from an old clerk who was arranging some furniture. "Who is the manager?" "Mr. Perry. He is sitting over there at the desk. He is the president. Mr. Perry was a very pleasant looking man, open and broad. I asked him a few questions about the business and in a few words he told me that his business was only two years old and was very successful. It is run under the name of the Universal Furniture Store, Inc., capitalized at $25,000, doing a cash and credit business of about $12,000 yearly. He collects 15 per cent. of outstanding accounts each month. "This store," said Mr. Perry, "is the only one of its kind in the country." Mr. Perry, by the way, is the broker of the famous Hermann Perry, of the Standard Life Insurance Company, which was swallowed by the "Southern." He gave me much valuable information. Ben Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, was visited in the big Odd Fellow's building, where some of the business offices are located. Most of our talk was about Mr. Garvey and the U. N. I. A. Oh, yes, and the Standard Life. There are many, many Negroes doing big business in Atlanta. The insurance business is one of them. The Negroes own a very fine bank also. I didn't have time to go any further into the life of the Negro in the "Hub of the South." Shall I not add here that the Negroes of the South are really doing things. What is big New York doing? What is Harlem doing with its schools and the many other institutions at the-beck and call of the Negroes? What is the whole Northern country doing? Little more than pleasure hunting, clothes is most the Negro in the North seems to care for with the exception of the members in (Harlem). After one has seen the prosperity of the Negro in Atlanta, and other parts of the South, one is tempted to feel after all that is nothing to fear: there is no need for a Negro nation, but at the railroad station one is rarely awakened out of that sleep with the "Jim Crow Car" for the best of us. KUMASSI, ASHANTI, April 10 (Associated Press).—The Prince of Wales today met the chiefs of the Ashanti at a grand palace, followed his arrival here this morning from Seccondee. The chiefs presented to the Prince an address of welcome and a gold duplicate of the Ashanti Sword of State, made by local goldsmiths. When the Prince drove up to the great semi-circular gathering of the chiefs, two of them advanced and presented gifts. The scene was a perfect riot of gold, one chief being covered with massive gold ornaments that hung around his neck, wrists, ankles and knees, while he carried huge bangles on his arms. Even the retainers were fortuneen in the shape of gold staves, while the executioners each had four large solid gold knives slung across their backs.

Animals Strongest at Birth Have the Greater Life Expectation — So with Children — Theory of Transmission of Race Traits and Tendencies By ERNEST BRENNECKE In The New York World Dr. Paul Kammerer, the distinguished Viennese physiologist, arrived in New York last week. He is a general in an army of scientific revolutionaries, and he is conducting a bitter war against conservative ideas of evolution — for there are fundamentalists and modernists in laboratories as well as in pulpits. Kammerer holds to the theory that whatever a man consciously does to himself, whether it be good or evil, will be transmitted in some measure to his children. This is known as the "inheritance of acquired characteristics" and it is violently opposed by the majority of biologists, who contend that no change that a man can effect upon his own person will directly affect his offspring. As soon as I heard of Kammerer's arrival, I sought him out and asked him to explain this controversy in simple language for the readers of this page. "There are two theories," he began: "One, is the theory of natural selection; the other is the theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Any person with a scientific mind must hold to either of these two doctrines. He must decide between the two." "Why must he?" I asked. "Because this decision will determine his fundamental outlook on life, answered Dr. Kamminger. "Upon his attitude on this question will depend a serious man's attitude toward progress, civilization and conduct. One can understand this only after one has grasped the significance of the two ideas. Let me explain briefly—" "The theory of natural selection accounts for all the different forms of life in this manner: The same parents will have children who differ from each."

No two leaves are ever exactly allike; no two persons are; their minds and bodies differ. What causes these differences? No one knows. "Let us now imagine a large family of rabbits with many differences, say, in color. Sonic are brown, some white, some black. They live on wintry snowfields. They have enemies. These enemies easily find and attack those rabbits whom they can easily see against the whiteness of the ice; thus the browns and blacks are destroyed, while the whites, being practically invisible, escape. This goes on for many generations, until finally only white parent-rabbits and white children rabbits are left. "In other words, the animals that happen to be fittest to their environment, those who turn out to be strongest at birth, have the best chances to live and to produce offspring of their own; thus the weak and ill-adapted ones gradually die out or are violently exterminated. This is also known as the doctrine of the survival of the fittest; the strong live, the weak perish; accidents of birth plus the nature of environment determine the future of the race. "Whatever an animal or person can do to himself, say my opponents, does not matter in the long run, for he will not be able to transmit such artificial changes to his offspring. He may cut off his hand, but his son will be born with two hands; he may spend years practicing the piano, but his daughter will not be born with a hand specially adapted for plano-playing. Thus the future of the race is almost completely controlled by external nature and the mysterious variations that occur, by birth or generation. You-see, there is a mystical element in this natural selection theory; yet it was long believed to be a satanically mechanical theory that robbed mankind of its divine heritage." "Now for the other theory—the theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. This admits the truth of the positive assertions of natural selection, but it goes farther in holding that there can be nothing mysterious or mythical about the differences between one living thing and another. It holds that these difference can be accounted for, partially at least, by the events which affected the bodies and minds of the parents. If a parent forms VETTE AT 132d ST. 7th AVE.

It may take long periods of time for such "acquired characteristics," repeated again and again, to make themselves perceptible—but they are there all the time. "Thus, you will see, this latter theory makes us much more responsible for our descendants than we would be if nothing more than natural selection held away in the world. What we are now was determined not only by the accidents of our own and of our forefathers' surroundings, but also by all of our forefathers' actions and habits." "Under natural selection, whatever happens, happens almost independently of human efforts for better or for worse; under the inheritance of acquired characteristics things are largely determined by human conduct, and the future literally lies entirely within our powers for good and for evil. We can make the future races of the earth happy or unhappy; we shall make them either demigods or savages. Our moral habits, then, become most important; we must decide for ourselves as to what is right and wrong, and act accordingly. Darwin's "survival of the fittest" does not necessarily mean the survival of the best. It means merely the survival of the strongest." Here I interrupted Dr. Kammerer's "Your scientists, however," I remarked, "will not be guided by the considerations you are now offering—or, if they are, they won't admit it. They claim to be guided solely by facts. Can't observed facts and repeated experiments prove that either theory is right." "There, of course," he replied, "you hit the essential point in the discussion. It will be possible to submit the matter to experimental proof. But a few simple experiments will scarcely suffice. What we need is a huge mass of evidential, data which will resolve the question once and for all. All we have to date, however, is a few scattered observations that yield no freestable conclusions. "For a long time, indeed, this was considered an inobligible riddle, for even Darwin himself believed that it would take perhaps millions of years for species-mutations to occur. But we have lately been moving more rapidly than that. Let me offer a few of my own observations: "First, by way of refutation of any creative aspect of selection and the failure of inbreeding to show improvement in the race. For instance, European royal families, whose ancestors were all persons of the highest, at least, the most powerful, endowments of mind and body have been intermarrying for hundreds of years. What has been the result? According to the theory of selection (in this case artificial selection), the present members of those families should be supernate. Without less majesty, I may point out they are far from it. "Again, in my own experiments, I have demonstrated that the hereditary constitution can be and has been effected from without, at least in the cases of salamanders, toads and acclamats (sea-squirats). Other workers are now trying to repeat these experiments; if they are successful, the anti-Darwinians will have a difficult task to hold their own. "I am, of course, definitely on one side of the fence. I believe firmly in the inheritance of acquired characteristics; yet I have tried to give you a fair explanation of the issues. You see how important the question is. From a pragmatic point of view it is far more important than the question of wheth or we are descended from Adam or the apo; no matter which way we answer that, our conduct need not be affected. But when we decide whether or no our actions are responsible for the future or whether we are merely puppets in the hands of God or fate or chance—then our answer will govern our actions as masses and as individuals. OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey WHY WHITE MEN WANT AFRICA T is conceded by those who study world affairs that nations lay claim to territories mainly for either of these reasons: 1. To find an outlet for their surplus populations. 2. To use as a war base certain strategic points. 3. Lastly, and chiefly, to exploit the raw products and minerals of these territories for their home consumption and comfort. of those territories for their home consumption and comfort. Nations, whose desire for colonial expansion warps their Christian ethics and preachments, adopt all sorts of subterfuges in order to make entry into the seized regions they covet. The white missionary is used to spy out the land, as also the big game hunter, who bluffs the world by having his picture taken with the butt of his rifle on the carcass of a lion or tiger which some fearless native had killed, while he, the white hunter, was at a safe distance. Sometimes it is an erratic explorer who happens to get certain information from natives who do not know the value of their minerals. The biggest game that constitutes the object of the wanderings of these adventurers is GOLD AND DIAMONDS. These men are the fore-runners of machine guns, battleships and aeroplanes, which are used to oust the natives and make them powerless in the face of exploitation and robbery of their property. In an article on "The World's Gold," by Josiah Spurr, in Foreign Affairs for this month, says: "The most spectacular flood of gold in the history of the world has been that which, between 1900 and the present moment, has flowed from the British dominions in South Africa, principally the Transvaal. By 1916, the baner year, the South African production had risen to over $211,000,000; in 1923 it was $202,500,000, or about 53 per cent. of the world's production for that year. And in 1924 the South African production was $211,395,000, or nearly $9,000,000 above 1923. Indications are that for years to come the British Empire will be in an especially favorable position through its great gold production, and that the position of the United States in that respect will be definitely unfavorable." This is the reason why England wants to keep a stranglehold on as much of Africa as she can. It is the cry for gold, the basis of the currency of nations. Take away from England the African gold mines, and her pound would be on a par value with the German mark. France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Portugal all are holding on to slices of Africa. Why? Just, to boast that they control the natives? For the purpose of civilizing and christianizing them? No. Their sole purpose is to draw from Africa all of their raw products and mineral wealth, so as to replenish their bankrupt treasuries, and to prop up their boasted white-supremacy, which is toppling fast, with the awakened consciousness of the darker peoples of the world. The new Negro who belongs to this awakened group, envisions mother Africa stretching out her bleeding hands to her scattered sons and daughters, bidding them to return home, and also realizes that if we, as a race must survive, we must get power, and the quickest way to obtain this is to acquire wealth. The old-time Negro who had swallowed the white man's malicious propaganda about Africa and in belching it up, used to say, "I haven't lost anything in Africa, and I am not going there for the cannibals to eat me." has now changed his talk, and is saying, "I lost the richest continent on the globe, when I lost Africa, and by the help of God I am going back there to find wealth and happiness." The Negro has served well his apprenticeship in this Western Hemisphere, and through the guidance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association he has learned to accept the good and reject the bad elements of this civilization, and has sworn to work and act so that the redemption of Africa for the Negro people of the world will soon be a possibility. Why should the gold of Africa be used to rehabilitate bankrupt Europe, when this poverty stricken race of ours needs it? It is ours by divine apportionment. If diamonds and other precious stones are taken from Africa to adorn the throats and arms of white women, why should black women use glass beads or go without? Wake up, Mr. Blackman, and go up and possess the land! Your women are tired of menial jobs and being abused by men of other races; your children want care and provision made for their future if they are to live. Your race wants a first class rating according to present day standards. Your country calls. Will you answer these appeals, Mr. Blackman?

Windsor-on-the- Windsor-on-the-Thames. Almost the last journey away from Buckingham Palace made by Kueen Mary; known as England's most "housewifely" Queen, before departing with the King for his Mediterranean cruise, was a one day visit to Windsor Castle. There she inspected everything to see that the spring cleaning had been started in proper order, so that everything would be spick and spun for her return toward the end of April. Incidentally, the Queen brought with her to the castle, her summer home and one of the world's most magnificent structures, a number of labor-saving devices which she had bought herself the day before at an ideal home exhibit in London. One of these was a new kind of knife cleaner, the Queen examining the apparatus and making several inquiries as to whether the dealer was certain that the polishing roller would not harm certain old fashioned knives of very delicate make which were used generations ago in the kitchens of Windsor. Another exhibit which interested the Queen keenly wag an improved kind of mop. She watched the demonstration with interest, and even took hold of the handle herself for a moment, but she did not buy, much to the disappointment of the dealer. One of the favorite stories among residents of Windsor concerns Queen Victoria, and is known as "The crocusies and the sentinel." Soon after her ascension to the throne Queen Victoria was delighted by the appearance of the first crocuses of the season near the castle terraces. Rearing that the blooms might be destroyed by sparrows or other birds, the Queen sent for a soldier to protect them. Queen Victoria never rescinded the order, and year after year a sentry stood at the same spot, day and night. During the war when every available soldier was needed at the front it occurred to the castle official to look into the archives to learn why and when the sentinel had been stationed near the crocus bed, and this led to the disappearance of one of the sights of Windsor. RULES FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Do you put things off? If you do, you have not learned the first principals of orderliness. Do it now— Household order means more than system. It cannot be achieved by any one individual—it depends on collective effort. Order is not difficult— Anything done in an orderly way is easy—hopeless thing if done in disorder. Witness the mending basket, piled with the stockings, of last week and the week before that, with accumulating buttonless garments endless little jobs that should be done in spare moments—not put off. There's the silver. Allowed to tarnish and blacken until it is a real task to clean. It rubbed over each week if needa scarcely more than a good washing! And it's always in order. The bureau drawers. If picked up only twice a year house cleaning time they are hopeless jumbles. Straightened each week when the clothes are put away they are perpetually tidy. The bedrooms, for instance. In there any reason why Mrs. Home-Maker should spend her time picking them up? Cannot every one hang up his own night clothes, put away shirts and yesterday's garments, and air the beds; singly it takes perhaps five minutes, collectively, for one person, half an hour. And the bathrooms— Why should only one person be expected to hang up the towels, wash out the basin and clean the ring off the tub? Pick up the newspapers, sweep up cigar ashes, spread down the rugs rolled up for dancing, straighten the music on the piano? If Mrs. Home-Maker does all these things herself her house is not really in order. The most precious things in it—the children—are out of order. Any part of any machine that does not work, slows up or stops, the entire mechanism. Any member of the family who falls to do their part refracts the house-train machinery. Even the three-year-old can pick up toys and fold his bib. The four-year-old can pick up his clothes. The five-year-old can wash out his own bathhut, hang up his things. Each year should add new orderly habits to these already learned. Family orderliness means harmony at home. Rest—without a vacation. Within the income. To all a bottle with ice water, when making pies, you will have a good substitute for the glass rolling pin. You will also produce a light, flaky crust. BIRTHDAY PARTY A birthday party was tendered Mrs. E. Wilmouth at the residence of Mrs. Griffith, 104 W. 164th St., last Saturday evening. Quite a number of friends were present. Mrs. Wilmouth is a member of the Black Cross Nurses, and one who has been rendering very good service. The party was a very entertaining one. Some of the guests present were: Mrs. F. Asheraft, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. and Miss Diton, Mr. J. E. Hinds, Mrs. H. Phew, Mrs. C. Cook, Mr. C., Mumble, Mr. Chas, and Lincoln Ehrestein. Everybody left feeling they had spent a wonderful evening. To the Editor of The Negro World: The commercial doctor saw in the Kansas City Call that Miss Marion Smith, executive secretary of the Pasco Y. W. C. A., and Mrs. Thomas Clark, wife of the West Bottoms Community Center, on Saturday morning want shopping. They come to that popular store known as Emery, Bird and Thayer; they saw a hat on the third floor, and when they reached that floor they were told to go tothe basement as they did not try hats on colored women upstairs, and, furthermore, that the management of this store does not want colored/trade, as it embarrassed the white trade. The Call states, that one colored school teacher spent $600 in that store last year. Now, let me say a word to Miss Smith, Mrs. Clark and to the school teacher. You three women are holding positions caused by segregation, and if you will notice, you are urged to spend your money where it is wanted, that is, in a white man's store. The reason we have such hard times is because we have been trained that way and it will take just such things to get rid of our mother's training, who taught us from the beginning that everything you want go to the white man for it, that colored people cannot do business. They also teach us the so-called baby talk, which, in after years, gives us trouble in learning the English language. This is one of the effects of slivery and will take some time before it will wear off. In Africa, the country where some people laugh at Marous Garvey for trying to redeem, and say that you have lost nothing in Africa, in order to develop a racial consciousness the people whip their children for buying from a white merchant. We are just the opposite. It is a sickening sight: to go to church and see many times per cent of the people all dressed up in a white merchant's clothes, to hear a colored man scream and the impugnance of the time the preacher has a suit that has been given him by the white merchant to get the trade from this church, to see a colored doctor rushing through the street to see a colored patient with his clothes made by a white man. Go to a ball and you will see our representatives of the race dancing together with their evening gowns and dress suits made by white tailors. When the people of Kansas City saw that their girl could not get schools to teach as the whites, they asked for separate schools so that their sons and daughter could get positions as teachers, and it is just such men as those in Emery Bird's store. The reason why after getting the job that lowered the law of the State the money was offered to a class of men that told them that their room was better than their company. In the Educational Review sometime ago there appeared an article, "Why Nozo Education Has Failed," and it is this type of the so-called higher-ups that furnished the material for the subject. This writer noted that three-fourths of the colored people entered into the professional field and only one-fourth in the productive work. There are in the Twin Cities about 50,000 of our people, and of this number 25,000 are connected with the following churches, which they built at the expense of the community from voluntary contributions: First A. M. E., First Baptist, McNeal's Church, Metropolitan Temple, Heart's Church, Third Baptist, Allen Chapel, Ebenezer Pine Street Baptist, M. E. Highland Street Baptist, A. M. E. Z., St. John's A. M. E., Ward's Chapel, and there are several that the writer did, not name. Now I, call upon the members of these churches and upon the people of the Twin Cities to pleaiko $10 each every year to built factories and for their upkeep. The thing that confronts you next is how to lend this money. The answer is to get the best dressmakers, the best tailors, the best milliner and the best shoemakers and what they make per year, guarantees them this with a certain per cent, on all sales above the amount invested. Say you raised $250,000 or $500,000, which could be easily done, and I believe the three ladies that caused this article to be written would give the whole sum themselves if they had it, you could FACE BEAUTIFIER If your FACE is yellow or dark, if your SKIN is full of PAPERLIN, LIVEN SPOTS, BURNS, FAN, WOODLIN, SKIN, if you are anxious to BEAUTY your complexion; LOSE NO TIME!

The reason the colored tailor and dressmaker are so slow about turning out work when they get it is because they have not got the right kind of help. The colored man is the hardest for his race to please. When you get all of these tailors and dressmakers together, what one does not know the other will; then get you a car and start cawassing from house to house and when they get a job they can turn it out just as quick as the other fellow. Don't try to make money from the start, wait until you have gained the confidence of the public. You should sell stock. If you can get the stockholders to realize like those who lent their money to buy the Booker T. Washington, all right, but so few can see our condition and most of the editors are just as short-sighted as their readers, and to jail the promoters go. I call upon the preachers of the Twin Cities, and of the world to use their influence in building factories the same way they have erected colleges and Y. M. C.

PARIS, April 5.—Women's entry into sports and their general emancipation under changed conditions of modern life have accomplished one revolution at least. Instead of being slaves to fashion, women today are its dictators. Paris dressmakers, once high priests of the mysteries, divinity, Fashion, in whose name they were want to exercise tyrannical sway, admit women have defeated them. "Now we only propose fashion; we no longer impose them." Lucien Leong prominent courtier, contested today. He and his colleagues held a council to discover why, despite their efforts, they have not succeeded in introducing new lines in women's dress and why the chemise form has been stabilized so many years. Their unanimous conclusion is that women, emancipated and hardened by sports, have won the fight for the right to wear only the style of dress appropriate to the new mode of life and have shaken off the shackles of fashion forever. "Practical conditions of life are responsible for the adoption and maintenance of the present straight lines," says Mine, Jeanne Lainvin, head of a famous Paris establishment. "Dress must correspond to the kind of existence we lead today. Henceforth women will refuse to follow abrupt changes of fashion." Paris dressmakers fear the falling off of exports on account of the uniformity of fashion, but in comparing notes find no immediate danger. SIS STO SUFI Sick? Weak? Nervous? Irritable?

DIVISIONS BANES, ORIENTE, CUBA It is with great pleasure that we submit for publication this report of the work of Banaes Division No.62 for the month of March. Words cannot describe the gloom and sadness which fell on members and friends of this division, and in fact, the entire community on the receipt of the news of our leader's incarceration. For many days the only topic of conversation was the brutal treatment that has been mated out to this great man. But, in the midst of our sorrow we remembered the Man Christ who suffered in like manner: we remember a Gandhi, a McSwinney. But truth must get a hearing some day. The Bangs Division responded beautifully to the request of the parent body to celebrate Garvey Day, March 1. A special service was held at 4 p.m. at which all the uniformed units of the division turned out. Many were the silent tears shed, but they were tears of determination. The special mass meeting that followed at 7 p.m. will long be remembered. It was in fact a reedication meeting. Members who have been absent from the division for some time came, back and expressed their willingness to again affiliate themselves heart and soul in helping to put the program over. Mass meetings are held regularly on every Sunday and Wednesday night, and a marked interest is evident. The members also responded willingly to the Marcus Garvey's Freedom and Protection Fund. We want also to assure the Committee of Management that this division believes in Gangoolism. We will carry on. We are with you in this glorious fight. R. BLAKE, Reporter.

SHERRILL. Ministry Committee of Management. GLADWELL R. NEVINE. Headquarters, 20th St. 1936. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The mass meeting on April 5 was opened by singing "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" followed by prayer and Scripture reading. A special prayer was offered for the deliverance of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Selection by the choir. Opening remarks by the first vice-president. His address was very encouraging and helpful to all. Selection by the choir. The president then read the message of the President General in the Negro World, and also a part of the Honorable William Sherrill's speech. At this time we were favored with some inspiring remarks from Reverend Jacksun on "Garvey as a Stateman". The choir rendered a selection, "Higher Ground". At this hour Dr. C. B. Vance came to the front to introduce Reverend Dr. Wilson. Dr. Vance in sequent words introduced the orator, a man of genius and brains who is zealously laboring to break the chains that bind the black man. Mr. Vance said in part: "The Honorable Marcus Garvey has slowly and painfully advanced the army of deliverance. Hated by those he wished to rescue, desplied by those he was, dying to save, this grand man. Marcus Garvey, has fought without thanks, labored without applause, suffered without pity, and they have imprisoned him without justice. For the good of mankind he has accepted isolation, poverty and calamity. He gave all, sacrificed all, lost all but truth and self-respect. One of the bravest men in the Negro race is Marcus Garvey, and for one, I feel indebted, to him. Born among the poor, where children are burdens; in a country where real liberty was unknown, where the privileges of class were guarded with infinite jealousy, and the rights of individuals trampled beneath the feet of kings and nobles, where intellectual freedom was dominant; it is wonderful that the idea of true liberty ever entered his brain. Poverty was his mother, necessity his master. He had more brains than books, more sense than education, more courage than politicians, more strength than polish. He had no veneration for mistakes; no idea that the negro race was inferior to the other races. He saw oppression on every side, injustice everywhere, hypocrisy at the altar, venality on the bench, tyranny on the throne, and with splendid courage he brought the true light to negroes of the world and showed them the sure way to loose the chains from their feet. "Garvey gave to the world his 'Common Sense'. It was the first blow for separation, the first assault upon the negroes who call themselves leaders of the darker race of American people. It was the first blow for a new government. It is simple justice to say that Garvey has done more for the negro in six years, than any other leader of the negro race has ever done. He has convinced the black men and women of the world that Africa is the home of the black mas. England the home of the Englishman. France the home of the Frenchman, and Germany the home of Germans. He was perfectly radical in his mode of thought. His enthusiasm for what he believes to be right knows no bounds. "Year after year his brave words went ringing through the world, and by the bivouac fires weary negroes read the 'inspiring words and filled with new ideas, concentrated themselves anew to the cause of their future happiness, and progress. Garvey was not contented with arousing the spirit and pride of his people; he gave his soul to keep that spirit alive. He bought them ships; he braved defeats, dangers and sorrow. "To those who wished to put off African Redemption until some future day, with a lofty and touching spirit of self-sacrifice, he said, 'Every generous person should say if there must be liberty, let it be in my day that my children, may have peace.' To the cry that some negroes are rebels, he replied, 'He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defense of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title.' "The conditions of our day do not satisfy the more intelligent of our people; they have outgrown them. It shocks us and we have got to have another leader. We must have a real leader. And that man is Marcus Garvey." The meeting adjourned by singing the "Ethiopian Anthem." ELEANOR BUCHANAN The Perth Amboy Division held successful mass meetings on Graves-Day in March and April. Generous contributions to the Defense Fund were taken at these meetings. The division is growing rapidly and remains strong in the principles of Gervaisism. We have no thought of retreating, but intend to carry on until Africa is redeemed. Butler's Hall, the regular meeting place of the Boston Division, U. N. I. A. has been badly damaged by fire. The members are now holding their meetings in Smith Hall. On Sunday, April 5, "Garvey Day," was again observed by the Boston Division. The weather was favorable and the crowd was reasonable. The people are still showing their unshaken confidence in the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The mass meeting was called to order at 3:46 p. m. with President Alkens in the chair. The meeting was opened in the usual way, with religious service conducted by the lady chaplain, Mrs. George Cooper. The president then took charge of the program, which was as follows: Opening remarks of welcome, and explanation of Garvey Day, by the president; address by Mr. Toney; selection by the choir; readings were given by Mrs. Wm. H. Munroe, Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Davis; selection by the choir; addresses were delivered by Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs. Ernest Headly, lady president, and Mr. Wm. H. Muhroe. These addresses were all inspiring the full of sympathy for the president general in his suffering. President Alkens was the speaker of the afternoon. His subject was "Faith in the Negro." The address was full of logic and inspiration. He declared that the members should all have faith in themselves, and more so, faith in Sir William Sherrell for his able leadership. The meeting was brought to a close with singing by the choir and prayer by the lady chaplain. WM. H. MUNROE, Reporter. EAST BROOKLYN, N. Y. On Sunday, April 5, the members of the East Brooklyn Chapter celebrated Garvey Day with a large mass meeting. The meeting was opened with the usual song and prayer service, after which the following program was rendered: The Honorable Levit Lord, auditor-general of the U. N. I. A., who was visiting the chapter, was introduced by the president, Mr. Fred Brathwaite, amid great applause. Mr. Lord, in an interesting and enthusiastic manner, outlined the work of the organization and spoke impressively of the courageous spirit of the Honorable Marcus Garvey. Mr. Lord concluded by urging the members to keep their courage high and support the work of the organization until Africa is redeemed and the race is emancipated. The collection was taken at this time and the audience responded, liberally to the appeal for troops to carry on the work. The Honorable E. A. Thoreau was the next speaker. At the close of an eloquent and inspiring address from Mr. Thoreau, six new members were added to the roll. Mr. Thomas Rowe, a stalwart member of the organization, also spoke. The meeting closed with prayer by the chaplain, Mr. Borne. MILTON E. KELLY, Reporter. WHITE CASTLE.

"GO TO HIGH SCHOOL" CAMPAIGN MAY 11-17 Fifty-six Chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Plan to Reach Five Million Persons Radio Broadcast WASHINGTON, D.C.-More vigorous then ever before will be the sixth annual "Go to High School-Go to College" campaign to be waged throughout the United States by the Alpha Phil Alpha Fraternity during the week of May 11 to 17, inclusive, according to announcement just made by Norman L McGhee, national secretary of the fraternity. Every one of the 56 chapters of the fraternity, with a total membership aggregating 3,500, will devote its energies to the conduct of a thoroughly systematic drive to bring the gospel "Go to High School-Go to College" to the attention of the twelve million colored people, men, women and children, in every part of the United States. The experience gained in the past five years since the first campaign in 1920 has caused the fraternity to come into knowledge of the best methods to be used in reaching the colored people with its educational campaign. "Go to High School-Go to College" week has been pronounced by leading educators as the most forward looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students. The first annual campaign was held in May, 1920. In that year more than five hundred thousand parents and students were reached through circulation of literature, the display of placards, through the press, and the holding of meetings by the chapters and members of the fraternity in various sections of the United States. During the year 1924 the local campaigns conducted by the fifty odd chapters reached some three and one-half million parents and students. As a means of reaching more effectively all groups of the nation's citizenry messages regarding the campaign were broadcast through radio stations in a number of large cities during the campaign of 1924. This year, efforts are being made to see that an hour will be spent in sending broadcast the message of: "Go to High School—Go to College" from the leading radio broadcasting stations in all the large cities of the country. Every possible means of disseminating information urging the colored youth of the nation to go to high school and go to college will be utilized. The goal of the fraternity this year is to reach five million parents and students with the fundamental message regarding the need of education. Among those who will co-operate with Director Raymond W. Cannon will be associate, directors, James W. McGregor, first vice-president of the fraternity; Peyton F. Anderson, second vice-president; James A. Scott, third vice-president; Charles W. Greene, fourth vice-president; Norman L. McGhee, secretary; Homer Cooper, treasurer, and Oscar C.

ENTE Spanish Section Ya es hora de que realizemos el fatal resultado de la batalla, que ha venido librándose, a consecuencia del conflicto existente entre cierto elemento de la raza. Ello es más que infortunio por el hecho de que si alguna raza debiera sentir en si el espiritu de unificación es la nuestra; pero desgraciadamente parte de nuestro propio pueblo esta muy poco conforme con la sangre heredada de los autores, de sus días, siendo este el principal motivo injustificado para tantas desavenencias y tantos contratiemos. No intentamos intervenir en la desorganización del sistema de gobierno existentes; perseguimos la organización de nuestro propio sistema de gobierno—En países donde constituyamos la minoría nunca realizaremos nuestras aspiraciones—Esta organización reusa reconocer cualquier sistema social o político en Africa, a ecepción del que la raza intenta establecer—Habiendo luchado por otras razas sin recompensa alguna, el negro está determinado a luchar exclusivamente en beneficio propio Nosotros como contendientes en la lucha establecida, no hemos tenido la menor intención ni hemos estado nunca interesados en el ataque personal del elemento en, referencia, sino que considerándole como el mayor, obstruculo en el sendero de nuestro adelanto, exponen sus actos ante la opinión pública para que ella juzgue, toda vez que estos tiendan a perjudicar la existencia de una raza que se esfuerza por su enaltecimiento. Nuestra organización no intenta constituir gobierno alguno dentro ó fuera de los limites de los Estados Unidos de America; nuestra organización no intenta corromper el sistema de ningún gobierno organizado, pero si persigue con gran determinación la unificación de los cuatrocientos millones de la raza, con el alto propósito de constituir su propia naeión con su propio gobierno. Tal sentimiento altruista ha sido forzado en la mente del negro, debido ello a las actuaciones de las razas opuestas no solamente en America, en Europa y en el imperio británico, sino doquiera exista un solo elemento de nuestra raza. La intención de este elemento de la raza nos somete a grandes discernimientos y lleganos a la conclusión de que ellos laboran de una manera perpicaz, con el propósito de introducir en la sociedad americana un nuevo orde de prejuicio, no tanto entre el blanco y el negro cono lo es entre ciertos elementos y la mayoría de los miembros de la raza. Ellos se esfuerzan por su proximidad hacia la raza blanca, presentándole clandestinamente aquello que creen superior en nuestra raza en ellos reflejado, y si los blancos social y económicamente los reconocen como tal, se constituyen en el elemento intermediario entre el blanco y el negro, en la creencia de que su fuerza física y moral será usada en conjeción con la de la raza blanca, para optimir al resto de la nuestra que tiene un verdadero reconocimiento de si misma. La idea de un gobierno propio significa mucho mas de la apreciación que la mayoría de nuestro elemento manifesta al presente. No se detiene a estudiar su importancia por el mero hecho se sentirse ciudadano 6 subdito de tal 6 cual país, y se pregunta a si mismo el porque de la necesidad de algún otro gobierno. Se le denomina francés, inglés o americano, pero los que patrocinamos esta idea de gobierno propio hemos estudiado detenidamente esta cuestión de nacionalidad entre nuestro elemento, llegando a la conclusión de que a nada equivale, cuando esa nacionalidad entra en controversia con la nacionalidad del grupo dominante. Cuando nuestros intereses chocan con los interceses de la fracción predominante, podemos notar claremente que carecemos de todo derecho. Este elemento descontento de nuestra raza recurre a todos los medios para obtener del blanco americano la misma clase de reconocimiento que otros pueblos han proporcionado al mismo elemento y en iguales circumstancias; y nosotros como defensores del decoro y de la integridad de la raza, creemos que estos señores han ido muy lejos en este sentido y como uno de nuestro muchos deberes que cumplir, damos la voz de alerta para combinar este grave peligro que nos afronta no solamente en el hemisferio occidental, sino en el universo entero, quedando de hecho demostrado el origen de las hostilidades entre ese elemento y nuestra organización. En tiempo de paz, cuando todo marcha en armonia, afrontamos grandes dificultades doquiera vayamos, doquiera nos contremos, para disfrutar de aquellos derechos que nos corresponden, en concordancia con las derechos de aquellos que creemos sean nuestros conciudadanos, obteniendo así la consideración que debe ser nuestra por derecho constitucional, por derecho de ley. Pero en tiempo de guerra muy sabiamente nos hacen coparticipes de la causa, como aconteció en la última contienda mundial en la cual éramos socios, manifestandosenos que debiamos olvidar nuestros sufrimientos, dado ello a las intrigas raciales, y unir con ellos nuestros esfuerzos para salvar la nación. El elemento de nuestra raza en Norte America no esta al corriente con el sistema del gobierno colonial ingles para dominar los pueblos de tez más oscura, pero estos individuos han hecho un estudio de ello y usan la malicía de que son dotados para instigar la implantación de un sistema identico, sin causar la menor sopecha de la gran masa de nuestra raza aqui domiciliada. Doquiera nuestra raza forme la mayoría de la población y no haya suficientes miembros de la raza blanca para dominar, garantizando así su existencia, los gobiernos coloniales de Francia e Inglaterra tienen por sistema crear un cuerpo intermediario entre ellos y los nativos, el cual consiste del elemento más claro de aquella comunidad y tal elemento es excepcionalmente educado y próspero. Acceptando tales hipocrecias hemos contribuido una y otra vez a la salvación de muchas naciones y a costa de centenares de miles de vidas entre nuestro propio elemento. Hemos contribuido a la salvación del imperio británico, hemos contribuido a la salvación del imperio francés, en más de una ocasion hemos contribuido a la salvación de este país, y todo lo que hemos recibido como recompensa de nuestra contribución y de nuestros sacrificios es avejacines, odios, linchamientos. Tal condición ha sido el resultado de nuestra actitud, conformándonos con permitir que se nos guie como a un rebaño de ovejas, recibiendo todo el beneficio aquellos que dirigen, y cuyo principal objeto es, el fortificar su propia posición. Por más de quinientos años hemos permitido que se nos lleva y se nos traiga, a conveniencia de aquellos que astutamente determinan la dirección que les sea mas propicia. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra da un nuevo giro a este antiguo orden de cosas. Ella no ha de permitir que sus componentes sean por más tiempo engañados; ella está determinada a que la raza misma tome las riendas de su propia dirección. Con esta actitud se manifestiesta el hecho de que, si hay que salvar tal o cual nació o, tal o cual gobierno, esta organización ha de adoptar un sólo método de salvación y este será usado en la dirección de Africa. Por qué? Porqué Africa se ha transformado en el premio mayor, ambiección de todas las naciones; porqué Africa posee el bosque más lucrativo para los cazadores nacionales; porqué hoy dia Africa es la fuente industrial y comercial mas importante en el mundo. Los gobiernos hacen uso de ellos como instrumentos para que mantengan a las masas de su propio pueblo, a la retaguardia del progreso, concediendo a aquellos ciertos privilegios, tales como lazos conyugales con la raza opuesta y admission en ordenes y circulos sociales; de cuyos privilegios pueden solamente disfrutar aquellos que hayan contribuido con su fuerza moral, física y financiera a la fracción dominante de la raza blanca, ayudando de ese modo al establecimiento permanente de su administración sobre la gran masa de la población nativa. La diferencia entre esta organización y los otros movimientos de este país y probablemente del mundo entero, estrena en que ella patrocina la independencia de gobierno, mientras las demás organizaciones tienden a instalar al negro en posición secundaria en los gobierno existentes. Esta organización difiere de las demás organizaciones, porque ellas intentan simplemente subordinar al negro; principalmente en este era de progreso y de civilización, sabiendo que él en America nunca ha de llevar sus aspiraciones a la realización, y en el pleno convencimiento de que él en America nunca ha de diffrutar de sus derechos constitucionales. Todos aquellas organizaciones que proganan el adelanto del negro en el imperio británico, saben que bajo tal sistema de gobierno el nunca ha de sentir un hombre libre. ¿Y que entendemos nosotros por derechos constitucionales? Si el negro ha de llegar a la marea de sus aspiraciones y diffrutar de todos sus detechos que candidado de esta 6 de cualquier otro país, entonces debir lugar la misma oportunidad de ser tanto un borradero en las calles de París, Londres 6 Nueva York como presidente 6 jefe de gobierno. ¿Están las naciones probablemente dispuestas al reconocimiento de tales detechos? Por medio de la práctica de tal política, Inglaterra y Francia pueden conservar el dominio sobre sus colonias en Africa y en las Antillas. En países donde los blancos constituyen la mayor parte de la población y nuestra raza en la escasa minoría, donde se teme algun peligro por la immiscución de algun animo extrangero; y onde se hace necesario usar la fusera combinada de ambos elementos para protección del país, la mayoría blanca también cede a las clases más clares el disfrute de ciertas ventajas económicas, en detrimento de la gran masa de nuestro propio pueblo. Cual clarin de alerta, esta organización expone su propósito en pro de la liberación y de la felicidad de la raza, así como también el propósito de aquellos que por su propia conveniencia personal tratan de colocar a la raza en posición de recoverer hasta ser venida y tal vez exterminada. El sistema colonial en las Antillas y en Africa debe ser destruido y nunca permitido en Norte America. No queremos, hemos de repetir, ningún nuevo tipo ni ninguna nueva raza; simple y exclusivamente anhelamos el progreso en general de la raza del presente, la cual pueda erguirse diciendo al mundo: Constituimos un pueblo de hombres dignos con respeto y amor a su raza. Una idea plausible Mediante, invitación, previa, se reunieron en la casa oficina del Dr. Jose Negrón Cesteros el domingo 12 del corriente, varias personas pertenecientes a la colonia latinoamericana de esta cuidad, con el objeto, de tratar asuntos relacionados con la instalación de una clinica latina an esta metropolis. El comité organizador esta presidido por el reputado Dr. Negrón Cesteros, quien con conocimiento de causa y solida experiencia acquirida en su vida profesional entre dicho elemento, ha llegado a la conclusión de que el establecimiento de una clinica dirigida y administrada por latinos, viene a llenar una gran necesidad que se deje sentir entre esa colonia, dada las inconveniencias que sufren aquellos que asisten a otros establecimientos de nacionalidad y habla distinta, donde el medio ambiente. le es antagonio a su modo de ser desconocimiento muchas veces del idioma, su rufido. su idiosincrasia un detrimento altamente perjudicial para la salud y para el bien común. La colonia latino-americana compone un número considerable en la población de esta gran ciudad. Las razas diversas que forman el conglomerado de la urbe, aparte de su actividad colectiva, tienden a una individualidad sustancial y lógica para defender su yo racial; y para ello fomentan su industria, su comercio, sus escuelas, sus iglesias, sus bancos, sus hospitales y sus centros sociale, donde la comunidad no pierda aquellos rasgos y peculiaridades del tronco ancestral, y vivir la vida de dos civilizaciones —la propia y la extraria— dualidad altamente bienechora. do el proceso similario perfila un nuevo tipo capaz de resolverse en ambos ambientes, sin que nada nocivo tienda a destruir sus varidas actuaciones, dentro y fuera del medio de acción en que gire. Urge el que se de a esta plausible idea la debida consideración, para llevar a vias de hecho el establecimiento de dicha clinica que tanta falta hace en esta ciudad, y se copere a la realización de más bien labor humanitaria. Sobre la ocupación Haitiana El senador Shipstead, de Minnesota, presidente del subcomité de relaciones extteriores del senador ha estado celebrando audiencias sobre la resolución del senador Ladd en que se proible la intervención del gobierno en los empréstitos hechos a países extranjeros por los intereses financieros norteamericanos, esta proyecto visitar a Haiti proximamente para estudiar los hechos relativos a la ocupación por las tropas de infantería de marina de los Estados Unidos. Shipstead ha proyectoado salir para Haiti durante el presente mes en compañía, de Ernest Gruening, que perteneció al personal de la revista La Nacion y quien rindió declaraciones ante el comité sobre la ocupación de Haiti por las fuerzas norteamericanas. El Washington Post al concentar la solicitud hecha por la Liga de los Derechos del Hombre ante el gobierno francés para que pidiera a la Liga de Naciones que interviniera para lograr la desocupación de las tropas northeamericanas en Haiti, dice que el primer ministro, Herriot no tiene el propósito de intervenir en asuntos americanos. El cargo que se hace es que la ocupación es injustificada y que se ha prolongado sin razon. ADVERTISERS!

Magazine Section RIGHT FOR NEGRO OFFICERS OF NEGRO REGIMENT An executive meeting of Equity Congress of Greater New York, Inc., was held at the headquarters of the Congress, 2295 Seventh avenue, and every phase of the campaign for colored officers for the Fifteenth Infanty was thoroughly discussed. It was the consensus of opinion that we are well on the road to accomplish this much desired end. The past week, brought about the resignation of Col. Arthur Little, the white head of the regiment, a native of Tennessee, and it is rumored that other white officers have resigned or will resign in the near future. The Governor will be called upon immediately to appoint, eligible and qualified colored men to these vacancies, from colonel down. The executive meeting voted its unbounded thanks to Governor Smith for his promptness in referring the petition of Equity Congress to Major General C. W. Berry, Commanding General of the State National Guard, for proper consideration and recommendation, and to General Berry for the fair and open-minded way in which he took up the matter. The General held several conference with Speaker Charles H. Bailey and a Committee from Equity Congress, and assented then that every angle of the situation would be thoroughly gone into. The Congress pointed out to General Berry that Negro officers of the regiment had not been fairly treated; that under Col. Schafelin there had been only two white officers, but that when Col. Little took command there were wholesale requests made upon colored officers for their resignations. When these men asked why their resignations were wanted, they were told bluntly, "We can't use you." No other reason whatever was given. White men from other regiments, some of them from the ranks, were then appointed to fill these vacancies. It was this unfairness and injustice on the part of Col. Little that fired Equity Congress, the real sponsor of the movement that brought the regiment into being, to immediately begin is campaign for the elimination of those responsible for this narrow and prejudiced policy, and to secure for the regiment the all-colored officer personnel that was intended by the spirit of the law authorizing the creation of the regiment. Had Col. Little been as broad and as fair and square in his treatment of colored officers as was his liberal-minded predecessor, Colonel Schieffelin, he would have continued the policy of appointing colored men to commissions as they demonstrated their fitness and eligibility. It is unfortunate that certain local editors have attempted to make a party issue of this matter.3 Editor Moore of the "Age" showed his colds when he expressed his willingness to shide by a solid phalanx of black men in the ranks, but considered it advisable to have "mixed officers." In other words, he feels that inferior positions are good enough for him, but only a few of our race are good enough for superior offices. And those few must share such offices with white men. Equity Congress glorifies in the fact that it has far more confidence than this in the military capabilities of our black soldiers, who have fought and bled and died with won citations for bravery and heroism under fire in all wars since the founding of this Republic. Equity Congress believes the Negroes of New York State to be thoroughly capable of officiating their own regiment, and points with pride to the magnificent record of the Eighth Illinois in proof of this belief. Major General Berry personally made a trip to Chicago and inspected this regiment to learn how a wholly Negro outfit was functioning, and it is illuminating to know that he was profoundly impressed with what he saw. He speaks in the highest terms of the troop of the Eighth Illinois, and found them ranking among the highest in the State. Editor Harris of the New York News stated that the National Guard under Governor Smith had put their foot down on any more colored officers. The fact is that Governor Smith has done nothing of the kind, but on the contrary has been most fair and equitable in his treatment of the matter. Indeed, the results so far obtained have been achieved largely through the whole-hearted assistance given by influential white friends in the Democratic party. When Equity Congress puts its campaign before leading Republicans, they were indifferent to the great injustice done the race by the prejudicial attitude of Colonel Lillie, and even prominent colored Republicans were unwilling to attach their signatures to the petition for colored officers. Mr. John B. Mull, a Republican leader and wealthy real estate operator, of Boston, deserved the wisdom of putting the truth before the public at a more moving, but exhibited a "conference with the counsel of the regiment and representative persons of the community" who are interested in this action." Mr. Mull asked that he was very much afraid the method the Congress was attempting to pursue would "not be effective". However, with the assistance of stout hearted men and women, both white and black, who realized that it was now time to not and cause pusyfooting, the mass meeting was an enormous success. The speech of ex-Governor William Sulzer opened the eyes of citizens of the entire State to the injustice being done the race, and the address of our great and good friend: Hon: Martin J. Healy, present alderman and Democrat leader in Harlem, made it clear that his organization would lend the very limit of its support to the movement. Too much praise cannot be given these real and material friends of the race, especially Alderman Healy, who has worked night and day with the Congress in the campaign, and who personally presented the petition to Governor Smith and urged him, for the good of the people in Harlem, to have the matter looked into as promptly, as possible. Alderman Healy has assured the organization of his continued and enthusiastic support, and stands ready to render any further assistance that may be in his power. Equity Congress proposed to lend another monster mass meeting on May 6, 1925, to stimulate renewed interest in this campaign and to petition the Governor to give consideration to the appointment of a colored colonel at the earliest possible moment. Due to dissatisfaction on the part of the men because of the unfair policy of Col. Litchi and his staff, there have been large numbers of desertions from the Fifteenth. It is desired to recruit the regiment to its full strength at the earliest possible moment, and General Berry has announced that a school of instruction will be opened shortly to train men of the regiment for commissioned officers. He states that one of the best military instructors in the State will be assigned to this work, and that the school will be open for inspection by civilians. The Congress is informed that Mayor Hyllan is prepared to arrange an appropriation of $500,000 for the completion of the armory and the construction of an administration building and dormitory for the regiment, and that the present headquarters at 56 West 130th street will be closed out upon completion of property adjustment work now in process there. Now that the opportunity is ripe for securing the solid Negro unit in the State military organization to which the zane has so long been entitled, it is hoped that everybody will put his shoulders to the wheel and assist in putting this great movement over. The other race papers of the city and State should join with the powerful work of the Negro, World, and pillize their columns in the whole-hearted support of this campaign. LOUISIANA COMMITTEE SEEKS NORMAL SCHOOL Other Objectives Set for Race Betterment by Inter-Racial Group in Annual Meeting—Asking for What You Need NEW ORLEANS, La., March 10.—The Louisiana State Committee on Racoe Relations, in annual session here last week, set the following objectives for the coming year: Efforts to secure a State normal school for Negroes and a reformatory for delinquent Negro boys, the creation of a State housing commission, the organization of local inter-racial committees in a number of strategic centers, and continuance of a campaign of educational publicity. Through the committee's efforts a bill providing for a State normal was passed almost unanimously last year, but failed for lack of the Governor's signature. Dr. Oscar Dowling, secretary of the State Board of Health, told a graphic story of improper Negro housing and poor sanitary conditions, resulting in a death rate from tuberculosis three times as high as that among white people. Dr. Dowling has placed a most efficient colored nurse on his staff and hopes to add others, physicians and nurses. Speaking for the colored group, Miss Fannie Williams, principal of Jones School, said that the chief causes of inter-racial friction are lack of understanding, failure of many communities to provide in Negro sections the public utilities necessary to safe and decent existence, economic hardships, unfair inequalities in railroad trains, street cars and sometimes even in courts, and unfavorable publicity in the newspapers. Prof. J. B. Clerk, leading colored educator, expressed the opinion that these injustices are often due more to misapprehension and lack of knowledge than to deliberate unfairness, and that, to show people the facts, frankly and in good spirit, is the surest way of correcting them. Prof. W. W. Hadnott, who is retiring as colored secretary of the work in Louisiana, was given a hearty vote of appreciation for the fine service he has rendered the cause. More than forty representative men and women of both races were present at the meeting. Prof. L. M. Favrot was reelected chairman. SEND NO. MONEY To the Editor of The Negro World: In your issue of February 1, appear an article from the Omaha Monitor, contending against Mr. Garvey a declaration "That Negroes will come into their own in every sense of the word only in a strong Negro Government in Africa." Amongst, other things, the Monitor is the opinion that, where as is possible it is scarcely probable that Negroes will care to migrate to Africa in any great numbers. Now, this opinion the Monitor bites on the progress the Negro is making in America; and above all, while acknowledging that white prejudice is rampant, it states there are ever enlarging numbers of fair-minded white men and women who combat this feeling, realizing its danger and injustice. Now that is very good, but I would say, let the stranger beware how he behaves in the house in which he finds himself the accepted member of a family. Friendship breeds freedom, freedom breeds familiarity. He may be as good as gold; he may be a blessing in disguise to that family, but the day he prepares into the bedchamber of the master, the most sacred part in the house, he gets "fell." Even those fair-minded angels who tried to ease his lot in the family would become the verost devils. Now, by that, I mean this: The Negro is a stranger in America; he'll always be so. We know the Negro has been the mainstay of American progress. We know the Negro has made wonderful progress in America. We also know that because of his great freedom his aspirations are great. But let the Negro howe the day he aspires to the Presidency, the most sacred thing in the land. What will he get? If your road leads you up a mountain against a precipice halfway, then you have no road at all. Wherefore, Mr. Garvey is quite right. In Africa you will have no abrupt stop to your progress, no restrictions to your ambitions. In a strong Negro democracy in Africa, such as Mr. Garvey pictures, you will have all the way clear to the highest plenary on the mountain of your ambition. If you are a deyll you send you to hell; if an angel, off you go to heaven. Hence, I am of the opinion that whereas a favored few, with sung feather heels, will not care o go to Africa, the migratory mussel whose inheritance is the road, and even others who are better off, would hail its deliverance the opportunity of coping to Africa if the U. N. I. A. could manage it. That has been the prayer of their forebears in slavery. Z. MASOPHA, kimberly, South Africa. Preaching the Gospel Of Love and Not Jealousy Mr Paul Taylor, of the Woodbine Colony, gave a splendid talk to the young people of his community at a meeting of the U. N. I. A. at the Baptist Church at Woodbine, N. J., on Palm Sunday. He impressed on the young folks the meaning of Palm Sunday and also gave them a talk on "Jealousy" and what jealousy often leads to and that when a person is jealous the devil is at work in his mind. Everyone enjoyed this good talk and wished that more of the young men of our churches would help us in some way to broadcast the word of our Saviour. A BABY IN YOUR HOME THE PEOPLE'S FORUM London, England, Members Sympathize With Leader To the Editor of the Negro World: Please allow me to express our greatest sympathy and undying loyalty, to our martyred leader, the Hon. Mgrus Garvey, whose incarceration has brought tears to many eyes; but we have got a consolation, for weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. We remember what that dead Negro said: "At the time it is caused," but did he forget the cub? They are free, free to make, their roar heard, and their bite felt. The Hon. Marcus Garvey is victorious, and not humiliated. He has demanded the world's respect, also he would be free, and we loyal members of the U. N. A. A. we humbly pray God lead him safely, and endow him, both spiritually and physically, and enable him to return triumphantly to us, his loyal followers. F. BISHOP, President. Supporting Enemies in Business Bad Business To the Editor of The Negro Woman: "When we know where a den of poisonous snakes is, we avoid coming in contact with it, and avoid doing business whatever with one. Why? Because we know he will readily harm us. And yet for centuries the Negro has continued to trade and work," and even yet most of them" continue to deal trinkingly with this race, that, no matter how much the Negro has done for them, "which is pity and more," this race persists in brow-beating him and ever endeavors to place shackles on him.* How long will the Negro continue to be a fool? Why deal with an enemy any more than one can possibly help? The Negro supports white business of all kinds that they establish in his district, and run out any important business a Negro tried to build up. No wonder the white man takes him for a fool. Listen. Negroes wake up. Leave their businesses, and stores, and then decidedly alone, as you would the poisonous snakes. Don't spend your hard earned nickels only with those who are willing that the Negro can build up business among his own. By refusing to buy of them and by supporting your stores, you starve him out. By building and supporting business of your own race you aid your race and defeat your anemy. And do not help support those of your own race who ridicule what you are trying to accomplish. Do not aid in supporting them. MARTHA MILTON. Wants the Eyes of the Race To Be Opened Everywhere To the Editor of the Negro World: God grant that our eyes may open from one end to the earth to the other so that we may work, in accord with our friend, brother and leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, and pray that God may direct him and let us follow. This is to every Negro in America. I pray God that the work may forever go on. I shall do all that is in my power to help make the work a success. Respectfully, ROBERT SPELLER. 608 Charlott St. Nurturl Va.

A Plea from Cuba For Faith and Loyalty To the Editor of The Negro World: My plea is, Stand by the principles of this organization solidly, and show to the haters and oppressors of Negro freedom that the need of race pride and consciousness has been so deeply planted in us by our great leader as never to be uprooted, whether he dies or lives. It is a credit to us to have a leader like Marcus Garvey, who is not only a man of work, but of ideals and courage. So we must comfort and cherish him by our loyal support. The ideals of Marcus Garvey are bound to reach fruition if we as a people will only remain organized, walt watch, work and pray. If our consciousness can only bring us on a level with the inspiration that such a race as our, grouped in a united body, will be one of the greatest forces in modern civilization, and bound to achieve the ideals, aims and goal that the U, N, L, A, has in view. Our President-General has awakened us to the dawn of a brighter day, carrying us back to the history of thousands of past years, pointing us to future greatness that awaits us in the re-establishment of the future Ethiopia, cautioning us that we must rise to the responsibility that rests upon our shoulders, letting us be assured of the fact that God lives in us as he lives in any other race of people. And if we have faith in God and ourselves, the devil and all his host cannot stop us from materializing our ideals—A redeemed, Africa, stalwart sons to guard her shades and the protection of our women. I exhort you in the name of Marcus Garvey, let us support this cause with our united efforts until we obtain our desired end. May Mr. Garvey's suffering and kingly behavior never skip your memories, but eased inspire and enable us to hold on to this cause with a full-dog grip. HARVEY AP MYERS Sola Camaguey, Cuba. It Looks Hard to a Ten-Year-old Girl To the Editor of The Negro World: I stand in my door every day and on my way to school I see the white children dress up, enjoying life, car rilling; and then I look back to my father and mother and the other Negroes around here—they have no work so hard and can hardly get anything to eat. Our clothes are not half no good as the white children's. It all causes me to love the N. L. A. more clearly, to know that Mr. Garvey has seen the conditions of our poor little Negro girls and boys and has started a program to better the conditions. My father and mother both belong to the organization and I am going to do all I can for the U. N. L. A. It's not much that I can do, I am so small, but I can sell The Negro World and let the other Negroes know what other Negroes are doing. I am asking every child to see that his parents read The Negro World. My best wishes for the success of the organization. MARY PRICKARD, Hermondale, Mo.

Down through the ages venereal diseases have come. They have been nursed by immorality, by ignorance and by a false idea that they were punishments visited upon inmersors—an idea that ignored the fact of innocent infection. In secret, and therefore unchecked by medical science, these plagues ran their full courses, leaving death, insanity, loathsome sores, paralysis, pain-tracked wives, stillborn children, and untold misery and suffering in their wake. Then, as now, venereal diseases took their toll from all classes of people. Rich and poor, filer and worker, moral and immoral, all who became, exposed were infected. But there is one difference. In ages past there was no remedy, no medical care, no hope for victims of syphilis and gonorrhea. Modern science, however, has evolved a method of cure. Though it is not always possible to undo all the harm which has been done, today an infected person has the comfort of knowing that early treatment by a reliable physician or in an official public clinic may prevent the worst consequences of venereal disease. It has been said that in Russia today there are communities in which 90 per cent. of the people are infected with venereal disease. From Canada come the report that 81,931 citizens Weakened vitality, kidney, bladder troubles, gonorrhea, syphilis, oncidipation, chanatosis, AIDS, and pregnancy problems. Compound and Blood Purifier.

A Cuban, Lady and The "Caged Tiger" Iye always been a reader of The Negro World and always will be. I am not an active member of the U. N. I. A., but a lover of its ideals and principles. The base and shameless audacity of a Negro forced him to compliment a white man for having cased (a Negro "the tiger at last"). He was even indirectly enough to say that all well-thinking Negroes schoo the same. The fact is uncontrovertible that a white man would have never done that to a black prosecutor if even his crime was well founded and the dirtiest on earth. How weak is the faith of some of our Negro men, how slow are their intellects? We deplore such weak and low attitude of some Negro men. They will do anything, even though it contributes to our destruction. And what do they reap? "Decennial benefiets." Poor! Quicken your intellect, have more charity so that you may get the beam out of your own eye before attempting to extract the note from your brothers; let your deliberations be free from stains and blots.

Write to The United States Public Health Service, at Washington ... is sending out releases on venereal diseases which are informing and helpful, of which the following is the first, to be followed later by others, and which we are sure the readers of The Negro World will appreciate the useful information they supply: Three hundred and sixty-three thousand new cases of venereal disease were reported in the United States in the year ending June 30, 1824.—To many folks this may seem to be a trifling announcement of no more. Importance than a statement that 363,000 persons had caught cold; but to one who knows the true facts about venereal disease, it brings a vision of misery, of lost time and money, of an economic burden to workers and the nation, of the suffering of innocent women and children—all of which have been the accompaniments of syphilis and gonorrhea from time immemorial, and which in the present day can be escaped only by the application of the knowledge of the cause, prevention and cure of venereal diseases. Although the absolute knowledge of syphilis as a distinct disease dates back to only 1494—when ti, sabares of Columbus brought the disease to Spain from Haiti, and when the armies of Charles VIII, of France and Perdinand of Spain spread the disease through Italy—there is evidence tending to show that syphilis has existed ever since cities were first built and peopled. In the poems and writings of the anecdots, mention is made of communicating a loathsome disease by kissing, as well as by other relations between sexes. Emperor Ho-Aug-Th, who ruled China more than 4,500 years ago, caused the medical knowledge of that day to be collected into a single work, and in that work can be found a description of gonorrhea, as well as of a disease similar to syphilis.

Rabey St., Chicago, IL. of that country—men, women and children, many of them innocent—have been reported as raw cases in the last three years; and those are said to be only a fraction of the actual existing cases. In the United States the figures for the last fiscal year show an increase of 24,382 cases of venereal disease over the number reported, in the previous year; but the increase in this country may be laid to better reporting of cases rather than to spreading infection. As late as the year 1873 there were 256 more deaths than births in the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian National Government and its board of health accounted for this situation in these words: "Syphilis may be considered as the most important cause of depopulation." Such a statement needs no comment. In discussing the distribution of venereal diseases in the United States it is necessary to remember that although 363,000 cases were reported to the various State boards of health last year, there undoubtedly were many other cases which escaped discovery, or which were not listed with the State authorities. As far back as 1915, Oster estimated that syphilis (including stillbirths, deaths of infants under one month, and other syphilitic conditions) took 60,000 lives in one year. This was a number sufficient to place it at the top of the infections—a leadership which it may still hold. Out of 4,507 cases of infectious diseases in New York City in September of last year, 1,159 were cases of venereal disease, while tuberculosis claimed but 820. Syphilis and gonorrhea, therefore, were responsible for 34 per cent of the total number of infectious cases. Among the Negroes the rate of venereal disease infection is double that of the whites. It is said that syphilis is probably the greatest cause of death and disability in the colored race. With these facts in mind, when faced with the necessity of providing able-bodied men for the army and navy, Congress in 191 created the Division of Veneral Diseases in the United States Public Health Service. Since its formation this division has co-operated with the State boards of health in checking the ravages of syphilis and gonorrhea and has been active in spreading the true facts of life of sex and of disease. Among other things, this government bureau has published a set of pamphlets pointing the way to prevention and cure. These books may be obtained from the various State boards of health. Set A is for young men; set B for officials and the general public; set C, for boys; set D, for parents; set E, for girls and young women, and set F is for educators. This article has shown something of the history and distribution of venereal diseases. A second number of the series will point out and illustrate the economic burden to the worker and the nation caused by these plagues through the loss of time and wages, and increased number of accidents, and the upkeep of asylums and other institutions. A third account will lift the curtain on some of the human misery resulting from syphilis and gonorrhea; while a fourth will describe community, industrial and individual measures which must be taken if these twin scourges are to be effectively combated and controlled.

In addition, fruit aids digestion, which makes it an important and beneficial adjunct to a substantial meal. If the salad course is to be omitted, a fruit cocktail can be served at the beginning of the meal. Light desserts after a heavy meal are also more desirable. The wise housewife will forego at this time rich puddings and pies and substitute lighter desserts of fruit—fresh or frozen or in the form of molded gelatine—which are easily prepared. Here are a few suggestions which may be helpful in planning the menu. Date Salad Remove the pits from the dates and fill the cavity with a ball of pimento cheese. Into this press an almond that has been blanched, buttered, salted and roasted. Shred the lettuce fine and make into mists on plates. Mash some dates and make balls of them. Put a plate ball in the center of each plate and lay the others radiating from the center to represent a flower. Serve this with any desired dressing. Mixed Fruit Salad Peel and dice three tart apples, cut up two quinces, and two orange, and add to one small can of sliced pineapple, which has been drained of its syrup, and cut into small pieces. Then add one scant cup of chopped dates and two tablespoons of marshmallow. Mix all thoroughly and arrange on lettuce. Sprinkle lightly with finally chopped walnut meats. 666 is a prescription for Colds, La Grippe, Influenza, Dengue, Biliousness, Malaria It is the most speedy remedy we know.
