"GIRD UP YOUR LOINS AND MINGLE IN THE FRAY" IS GARVEY'S COMMAND TO HIS RACE AS HE TELLS OF HIS REACTION TO HIS GEORGIA CELL
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Certain newspapers, I perceive, are busy guessing at my fate as far as my incarceration in Atlanta and my future habitat are concerned. They profess to know that I shall serve three and a half years in Atlanta, at the end of that period to be deported to the island of Jamaica in the British West Indies. Their concern for me would be a source of amusement were it not for the fact that my waking hours are crowded with thoughts of much import, with matters affecting the welfare of my race. I really have no time to waste either on self pity, the occupa-
tion of fools, or on applauses which reaches me from the corners of the earth, or on the queer quirks and fancies, the suggestions and desires, the criticisms and sneers of those who would consign the righteous aspirations of the Negro to hell.
Only One Thing Matters
Whether I serve three years or three days more in this prison cell in the United States of America concerns me only in so far as it circumscribes or extends my activities in prosecution of what I believe to be the most glorious task in which a mortal can be engaged—the uplift of the Negro race, the advancement of a potentially great but downtrodden people to a state worthy of the Creator's beings.
Garvey does not pity Garvey in jail. Garvey does not yearn to breathe the free air that he may acknowledge the greetings of black men on the sidewalks of New York. Garvey could forego, unmoved, the material delights of the age. But the outcry that I have made against the persecution which has come to me has been the outcry of one who is fully conscious of the fact that he has committed no crime, has violated none of the sacred injunctions of the Great Teacher.
Great Leader Says He Has No Time to Waste on Self-Pity, Criticism or Adulation—His Thoughts Are Centered on a Redeemed Africa
HAPPY BECAUSE HE IS FULLY CONSCIOUS HE HAS NOT DISOBEYED ANY OF THE SACRED INJUNCTIONS OF THE GREAT TEACHER
Bids Negroes Keep Steadfast in the Prosecution of Their Objective, a Free and Redeemed Africa
us by the people for whom we have fought and with whom we have fought. We realize that the world discounts us as a people because we have been compromising. We have always been begging for the things that are ours, not only morally, but by right divine. Because we have begged for these things the world ignored us. But now we are begging no more. Our destination is Africa. We are marching on with a great determination to conquer, not to beg for, not to apologize for, but, if need be, to die for the freedom of Africa.
Negroes have never hated, and that is why they seem to miscalculate and misunderstand the Negro. The Negro in all history has never hated. He has always returned a smile for a kick. He has always returned a smile for abuse. But that was a characteristic of the old Negro. We are dealing with the new Negro today, the Negro who intends to deal as he is being dealt with.
We are tired of being kicked about. We are tired of being tossed around. The hour has come for a definite action, and we have made that decision. The Negro is demanding the things that are his. Yield up the things that are belonging to the Negro and we will have everlasting and abiding peace.
The world has tried to ignore and minimize the potency of the force of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let them continue to live in a fool's paradise. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will continue to fight and to inspire others; will die; if necessary, in defense of their rights.
Some people seem to think that the Universal Negro Improvement Association encourages animus against white people and against other races. It is for me to declare emphatically against that. We love all humanity; whether black or white, yellow or white; we love humanity because we love humanity together. But we say to the white man that what he would like for himself we also would like for ourselves.
Will Maintain Race Purity
The Negro feels socially satisfied with himself and means to maintain the dignity and the purity of his race. He therefore denounces any attempt on the part of dissatisfied individuals; who by accident are members of the Negro race, in their attempts to foster any campaign for the destruction of the race's purity.
All the Negro desires is a fair chance to work for his livelihood. If he is given a chance the entire race problem will be solved.
The world ought to know that it could not keep down 400,000,000 Negroes forever. There is always a turning point in the destiny of every race, in the destiny of every nation, in the destiny of all peoples, and we have come now to the turning point of the Negro race.
How glorious a day it will be when humanity will settle down to deal out justice to all How glorious a day it will be when Africa will have the right to rule itself. We ask no more; we desire no more, and when that day comes I feel sure we will see the brotherhood of man and realize the fatherhood of God; but until then we see no brotherhood. We are fighting for that objective, the objective of a free and redeemed Africa. There can be no postponing of this great issue. Let us find our loathing in the fray.

ment because, following the Instruction

through our own, exes? Theological
dogmas and false Biblical Interpreta-
tions: have bepn skillfully employed to
keep tha Nesfo in mental and ypfrittial
bondage, but we have broken the fron
bands, and we wish white ‘réligiots
tehcheri" toc underatand that We shall
henceforth dominate our own ecclest-
antical affaira under black leadership.
You will find this excellently dealt with
in “African: Fundamentalism,”-2: copy

dents of all our divisions should have

once per month.
‘The ‘Golden ‘Rule
. We know also the truth conterning
the Golden Rule, We believe that that
rule, “Do unto othore aa ye would
have them do unto-xou.” Js the fun=
damental Tule of, human ethics. But
white civilisation has magg:of that
rule. & mockery, ane déqfpnstrated
clearly that white men are ‘tel fail-
ures as tho apontles of “Christian
morality to the darker races. The
Sermon on the Mount fs the'core and
pith of the religion which Jesus Christ
taught. and’ fa “the-vole-text-book--of
Christian ethics. And the whole tef-
mon itself can be concentrated” into
that Golden Rule, “Do unto others ax
yo swould have them 4 “unto you.”
-.This t# the acid test of a true,
Chriatien, and in hie reaction to thet
teat, what a veritable pygmy fs the
mite man! In, dealing with the
darker races, how Impossible it 1s for
the white than to practise tat Golden
Rule! Neither in Chine, tn India,
in Africa, in the Weet Indies, nor tn
America, has he shown any ability,
of any disposition to observe It. Never
has,he given a square deal to any
peofta not of his own race and color!
White nitesionaries profeas’ to wonder
why Mohammedantem counts its ads,
herents by the millions, while they
count their Christian followers’ by the
thotinands or hundreds wharever these
two religious cults come into contact.
The. reason is that whila the Koran
does not proclaim: in #0 many words]
the Golden Rule, its teachers practice
it among their converts, while on the
other hand, the white “mfssfonaries
preach the Golden Rule as written in
their New Testament, but never prac-
lice It toward thelr darker proelytes.
We know ‘that we speak “the truth,
and that is why we have freed our-
selvea fromthe hypocrisy of white
religious leaders and teachers.

IMPRESSIVE AND INSPIRING SCENES MARK THE CELEBRATION OF GARVEY DAY IN LIBERTY HALL
FAMOUS AUDITORIUM IS FILLED TO CAPACITY WITH PATRIOTIC FOLLOWERS AND, FRIENDS OF U. N. I. A. AND MARCUS GARVEY—GLOWING TRIBUTES ARE PAID TO THE IMPRISONED LEADER OF ORGANIZATION—HIS WORK AND NAME ARE INDELIBLY IMPRESSED ON THE PAGES OF HISTORY—IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE NEGRO THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
Hon. William Sherrill Delivers Able Speech Reviewing the Seven Years of U. N. I. A. Activities—Outlines Future Policy of Organization Towards Fulfillment of Its Program—Issues Declaration to All Divisions to Observe Birthday Anniversary, of Marcus Garvey on August 17th
CAUCASIAN SPEAKER ENDORSES PROGRAM OF "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS"—PRAISES GARVEY AND THE U. N. I. A.—TELEGRAM IS SENT TO PRESIDENT AND ATTORNEY GENERAL OF U. S. REQUESTING EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY FOR MARCUS GARVEY
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, August 2.—Garvey Day, as celebrated in Liberty Hall this evening, was an occasion that will long be remembered: not alone for the display of sincere patriotism to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the part of its followers, but for the opportunity which the meeting afforded of witnessing the unswerving loyalty, devotion, honor and respect that the large masses of Negroes in this city hold towards the leader and founder of the organization, Marcus Garvey, though confined in prison, and the fervid speeches which the greatness of the organization and the ingenuity and fidelity of its leader have inspired.
Notwithstanding the fact that there was a paid admission to the meeting, the hall was filled nearly to capacity, while a crowd of large proportions contented themselves with looking on from any point of vantage that could be secured outside of the historic building. This great gathering of people was due to the fact that today was not only Garvey Day, for the U. N. I. A. followers, but also the second day of the annual convention of the organization (officially opened on the previous day with a spectacular parade through the streets of Harlem), which, though local and not international in scope as previous conventions, was nevertheless looked forward to with a great deal of interest.
The executive heads of the organization were fully represented, there being on the platform Hon. William Sherrill, the Acting President General, who has just returned from Central America whither he went in the interests of the association; Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Third Assistant President General; Hon. G. Emonei Carter, Secretary General; Hon. Clifford Bourne, Chancellor; Hon. Levi Lord, Auditor General, and Hon. Percival L. Burrows, First Assistant Secretary General. Among the visitors was Rev. Dr. Howell, a Caucasian, who is an ardent admirer and well-wisher of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey, and who in the course of a spirited address avowed his advocacy of the claims which the organization was making in behalf of the Negroes of the world to "Africa for the Africans." The mayor of New York City, Hon. John F. Hylan, was invited to the meeting, but sent a letter addressed to the chairman, Hon. G. A. Weston, expressing his regret that a previous engagement had rendered it impossible for him to attend.
An exceptionally splendid program of music was rendered prior to the speechmaking. The choir under the direction of Mrs. Weston and the Universal Band under the leadership of Prof. Wallace, seemed specially primed for the occasion, while the Perfect Harmony Fohr and Mme. Fraser Robinson literally brought down the house with very pleasing vocal selections.
The speech of the evening was delivered by Hon. William Sherrill who reviewed at length the seven years of activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and outlined the policy which the organization would pursue towards the fulfillment of its program during the new era of its existence which the present convention was inaugurating. In the course of his address, Mr. Sherrill, acting in his capacity as president general, set apart August 17, the birthday anniversary of Hon. Marcus Garvey, as a day of supplication and prayer for the deliverance of Marcus Garvey, and issued a declaration for its observance by all the divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world.
The full-text of Mr. Sherrill's address will be published in next week's issue.
The following telegram to the President of the United States and the Federal Attorney General voicing the sentiment of the six million members of the organization in an appeal for executive clemency for Hon. Marcus Garvey, was unanimously endorsed and ordered forwarded to its destination:
"On this, our international holiday of Negro Peoples of the World, the six million members of the U. N. I. A. assembled in 1,400 local conventions convened on Aug. 1st throughout the United States and the world, for 15 days, are yet hopeful that before these sessions shall close we shall have released, in answer to our petitions, our great and trusted leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who has brought to the 400,000,000 narcissus throughout the world new hopes, aspirations and determined efforts to make Africa the
asylum of all the black people of the world, and Africans at home or abroad.
Wm. L. Sherrill.
Acting Pres. Gent.

The following telegram was received from the chairman of the Pittsburgh Division:

REV1 HOWELL'S ADDRESS
Rev. Clarence V. Howell, in an eloquent speech paid tribute to the splendid work the U. N. L. A. was doing. The time was ripe, he said, for Negroes to be in control of their own land through a government of their own and help in bringing to a civilized world the virtues of love and kindness to restore their impoverished, of the present day. He emphasized the power of the Negroes and told them know and realize their strength. He returned to the African-American pioneers the appended book, which told the story of the world and observed the work of Negroes who were the pioneers of the world.
minority that rued and fattened their pusses from the sweat of the common people. He was looking forward to the time when China, India and Africa were free, and if he read the portents right, the day was not far distant when Africa would compel respect even as Japan now did.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he declared, ably guided by its leader and founder, was doing a grand and glorious work which the historian would appraise in letters of gold.
SIR LEVI LORD'S ADDRESS
Sr. Levi Lord referred to the fact that they were now entering the second institutional year of the organization. He reminded his hearers that on this, Garvey Day, the great leader was suffering behind prison bars, making sacrifices for them, and it was their plain duty not to shrink from the sacrifices they also were required to make, but give of their best in money and in deeds toward the accomplishment of the program.
He then made an appeal for funds to assist the Parent Body, which met with a hearty response.
Corned Beef Ahead In "Chow Handicap"
Corned beef and cabbage—"Irish turkey"—is to try for the favorite dish in New York, judging from the first 2,000 ballots handed yesterday to Calvin S. Klein, Secretary of the United Restaurant Owners' Association.
Balloting for "Your Favorite Dish" by customers of the 500 restaurants owned by members of the association began Monday and will continue until the end of the week to determine the dishes most in demand so that the supply of them may never fall.
On 1,200 of the first 2,000 ballots
trimmed in, corned beef and cabbage
was first choice. Close behind came

Heart Disease Gains, Insurers Ate Told
LOUISVILLE, Ky. June 4—Heart disease has displaced tuberculosis as the great destroyer of human life, according to Dr. J. Allen Patton, medical director of the Prudential Insurance Company of America, who addressed today's meeting of the American Life Convention medical section, in annual session here.
"Recently compiled tables," Dr Patton said, "show that a child of ten years is three times more likely to die eventually from heart disease than from tuberculosis, and this disparity increases, with age."
"Statistics of the New York Heart Association show 20,000 children attending New York City public schools have permanently damaged hearts and that organic heart disease caused 14,315 deaths in New York City in one year, as compared with 4,854 from tuberculosis."

BILL TO CURB
MOB VIOLENCE
IN GEORGIA
Seeks to Make End of Riots and Wanton Killing of Negroes—Sheriffs, Jailers and Peace Officers to Be Held Responsible—Wide Support of the Measure
ATLANTA, GA., July 27.—Georgia will join the growing list of Southern States which are taking active steps to end rioting and mob violence if the Legislature enacts the Law and Order bill introduced in the House of Representatives last week.
The bill, entitled "An Act to Maintain Law and Order," provides that in any case of riot, rioters assembly, or mob violence, careful investigation shall be made by the Judge of Superior Court. If it appears from this investigation that any sheriff, deputy sheriff, jailer, or other peace officer was negligent or incompetent in dealing with such disorder, the Chief Justice or other Justice of the Supreme Court shall appoint a special Law and Order Commission to hear all the evidence in the case and render judgment as to the faithfulness or negligence of the officer in question. If she is found by the commission to have been negligent, Judgment to that effect shall be communicated to the Governor, who will return shall remove the officer from his position. Proof that any person was taken from the custody of the officer by the mob or killed or injured while in his custody, shall be prima facie evidence of neglect, to be offset only by affirmative proof that the officer had in fact used all reasonable precaution, and exercised the utmost diligence in the effort to maintain order.
The bill provides further that in the case of an officer so adjudged negligent in the prevention of rioting or violence the attorney general of the State shall bring suit against such officer for the full value of any property destroyed by the mob and for the sum of 45,000 for each homicide committed by it. Any person remanded from office under the provisions of the act shall be disqualified for a period of five years to hold any peace office of the State, county, or municipality. Friends of the measure point out that it is indulged with similar laws enacted in other Southern states which have been found very effective in the reduction of mob violence. It is said to be widely supported by religious, civic and welfare organizations over the State.
Bread 2,000 Years Old in Bakery Dug Up in Egypt
AIARO, June 7, (A. P.). The University of Michigan expedition excavating on the site of ancient Karansi in Egypt has found more than 2,000 objects illustrating the culture of the Graeco-Roman period. The city flourghed in the centuries immediately preceding and following the birth of Christ. Prof. Francis W. Kelsey, director of the excavation, recently returned to the United States. Since December, 1924, more than 1,000 rooms and 300 houses have been cleared of sand and debris. The site is so dry that the preservation of perishable substances is perfect. The articles found include more than 450 Greek papyri, including a library dating from the second to the fifth century; a large collection of glass vessels, fifty examples of basketry, textiles from fine line, to course weavers resembling burlap, and more than 100 examples of wooden tools.
About 300 terra coffin objects, 208 lamps and a great number of coins have been found.
Among the tools are farm implements and perfectly preserved sets of harness for donkeys and camels. A large bakery was unearthened with grain bins and a large mill and piles of coarse leaves of bread just as they were left when the bakers abandoned the town.
The glaze vessels, exquisite in shape and color, present their original appearance. Glass so preserved has been found on only one other site in Egypt.
The houses were built of sun-dried bricks, usually plastered on the inside. Vaulted ceilings supported the upper stories.
While the excavation this season has been limited chiefly to the upper layers of the mound which marks the site, and to the Roman period, a large tempel of limestone was completely excavated. It clearly belongs to the Ptolemaic period, and may have been dedicated to Scripta.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 18—Sam R. Kimball, aged 59, Perth Ambassador Valley rancher, has placed an order with a Los Angeles undertaker for a five-year coal off-film, equipped with a radio boom system.
Kimball explained that, he is convinced that the coal luge near the lake will delay the Day of Judgment and that he will be able to "toss what is in her for the world" after he dies.
GREAT PARADE STAGED BY NEW YORK DIVISION OPENING CONVENTION
Thousands of Marchers in Line in Monster Procession All Harlem on the Sidewalks-Great Tribute to Imprisoned Leader Whose Spirit Dominates Proceedings-Splendid Spirit of U. N. I. A. Followers Demonstrated
Women You Like to Look at
NEW YORK: August 1.—Saturday was U. N. I. A. day in Harlem, New York. Saturday was U. N. I. A. day throughout the United States, in Africa, Central America, the West Indies and wherever the Red, Black, and Green of the Association flies. But Harlem, New York, which saw the first beginning of the movement which was destined to spread far and wide, and awake black men everywhere from their slumber, on August 1 drew all eyes. The scotters stared, the doubtful winked, the "neutral" made no Saturday afternoon appointments—all eager to gauge the effect of the imprisonment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey by the August 1 parade which has been staged by the U. N. I. A. in the metropolis every year since 1915. And thousands of men, women and children were in line, as is the custom, disappointing the sketches, bearing silent testimony to the unbreakable spirit of the New Negro, proving that Garveyism is abroad in the hearts of the people even though Garvey be in jail. The parade of the New York Division of the U. N. I. A., orderly, colorful and impressive, reflected great credit, on those who organized it and must have been saddening to those who take joy in predicting the early downfall of the Association.
According to a proclamation issued by the Hon. Marcus Garvey a few months ago, no International Convention was assembled, but every division throughout the world was instructed to hold a fifteen-day local convention.
Divine Service
New York opened its convention with divine service in Liberty Hall, at which all the officers of the Association were in attendance. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. George A. McGuire, Private of the African Episcopal Church. The service over, after a brief interval, the parade formed in front of Liberty Hall.
All Harlem was on the sidewalk and at windows. Traffic was diverted from the accustomed routes. We quickly

at 2 o'clock the parade started, a company of the First New York Legions, under Lt. Col. Frederick, preceded by a band, in the load. Then followed in order the Women's Motor, Corps, under Capt. Minus, and the Black Cross Nurses, under Mrs. Mary Burke. The executive officers of the U. N. I. A. were next in line—Hon. G. O. Marke. Supreme Deputy: Sir William Sherrill, acting President-General, and Lord Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant President-General; Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General, and Sir Clifford S. Bourne, Chancellor; Sir Levi Lord, Auditor-General, and Hon. Percival Burrows, assistant Secretary-General. The officers of the New York local came next, followed by the Royal Guards, under Col. V. Wattley, led, by a band, and the Royal Engineers, under Col. S. R. A. Dorset.
Next came a long line of members, in civilian attire, proudly holding aloft their banners. The juveniles, under Lt. Brown, next appealed, followed by the Girl Guides. The Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia next occupied attention, furnishing the artistic side. They rode on a decorated motor lorry, which portrayed an Egyptian palm grove, a striking portrait of the Sphinx overtopping all. Then claiming attention was a car, gally banned, displaying a full-size picture of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Then more civilians, with banners and emblems, and a long line of motor vehicles of every description.
The weather was good, and the parade came off without incident, the marchers proceeding in a silence broken only, now and then, by the singing of the President's hymn, "God Bless Our President." The procession wended its way from Liberty Hall, 135th street, along Lenox avenue, 145th street, Seventh avenue to 161st street, Lenox avenue to 135th street, Fifth avenue to 135th street, Lenox avenue and back to the starting place. By the time the marchers reached 135th street, where is situated the headquarters of the U. N.-H.A., the executive officers, making a detour, had preceded them there and, standing on the steps, acknowledged the salutes and cheers of their followers as they went by.
In the evening a grand military ball was staged at Liberty Hall under the auspices of the Royal Guards.
Seven States Pass Anti-Lynching Laws
WASHINGTON, D. C.—During the last ten years even States have passed new laws for the suppression of lynching, according to a report prepared by Dr. Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, which is to be published shortly. Two other States, Oklahoma and North Carolina, have strengthened their laws against the "great American crime." In all thirteen States have special anti-lynching laws. Bills for the suppression of lynching have been introduced in virtually all Southern States. Four of the States passing new anti-lynching laws are Northern or Western. They are, Kansas, Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Two, Kentucky and West Virginia, may be classed as border States. Other States with anti-lynching laws are Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

LET'S PUT IT OVER
GATHERING OF THE LOCAL CONVENTIONS AUGUST 1.
AUGUST 1 is one of the most memorable days in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In his front page article in 'The Negro World of August 1, the founder of the association, Hon. Marcus Garvey, has this to say about it:
"I trust, too, that the membership will bear in mind the significance of August 1, as they prepare to hold their local conventions. August 1 should be specially dear to the hearts of all members of our great organisation, for it was on that day, six years ago, that for the first time in the history of the race Negroes from every corner of the world assembled in solemn conclave to formulate plans for the emancipation of the race and the forward march to nationhood and power.
"As you meet from day to day in your local conventions remember the great responsibility that rests upon you. Our association, despite what the petty detractor may say, has attained world eminence, and it is for you to conduct your deliberations in such a way as will bring greater respect to our organization and the sacred cause we espouse. Let your discussions be progressive, practical and inspiring. The eyes of your respective communities will be upon you. See that you live up to the lofty principles of our organization."
The most important in all parts of the world—the United States, the West Indies, South and Central America, Australia, Africa and England—convened August 1, and began the work mapped out for them. They will not only consider matters affecting their local interests, and they are many in every local division, but those affecting the organization as a whole and they will bring to their work the loyalty and zeal which have characterized them during the past seven years of work and hope and aspiration after higher and better tilings for the race in living. Although meeting separately in their several units, they will be inspired and encouraged by the spirit which permeated the usual international conventions of past years. The spirit of the founder and leader will be with each local convention and it will feel his presence.
The Negro World sends greetings and best wishes to the members of the local conventions everywhere and wishes them success in their high and responsible labors.
THERE ARE ALSO RACE JUDASES IN AFRICA
THE readers of The Negro World should not be surprised to learn that we also have Negro Judases in Africa. Perhaps every family, every race, every nation, has one or more members who are envious and jealous and ready to betray and sell out to the enemy for thirty pieces of silver or a mess of red pottage. They are interesting characters wherever they are found, and they always provoke more or less of trouble for themselves and for their brethren. Their brethren despise them and those who buy them and use them have no faith in them and throw them down and out when they have served them. Talking about this sort, our young, esteemed contemporary of Cape Tqwn, South-Africa, The-African World, says:
"Men and women of the African race, the officials of the Cape African Congress of the Western Province have it on authority that a little pamphlet here called The Cape is calling the attention of the Government to the motto used in The African World, namely, 'Europe for Europeans and Africa for Africans.' This, then, is regarded as too inflammatory and a stop should be put to it as it will eventually incite or create a spirit of antipathy.
"The Cape is a weekly pamphlet of Nordic upstarts, edited by a white man, a tool of plutocracy, a bourbon type of mongrel. He has been lampooning the African race in his paper to the fetish incastations of the Anglo-Saxon race. He is now trying, as it were, to gerrymander members of Parliament to his way of thibbling. He thinks that by meandering the obstructive tactics he will be able to stem the tide of evolution!
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 everywhere should give aid and comfort in the good fight. Those outside of Africa must sympathize with and aid those inside Africa to effect the desired emancipation. The Little Farm Swallowed by
A FAMOUS BUT DANGEROUS MAN PASSES OUT
WE are all affected more or less by "the fierce light that beats upon a throne." It is a weakness of human kind. The light comes on the throat of the throne a slimmer that is
light gives to the creature on the throne a glamor that is unusual and often misleading. The creature may have inherited the crown, or he may have carved it out of flesh and blood by his genius and prowess, but no illumination of his throne or of him can obscure the fact that he is also human. The man and the superman, in the last analysis, differ little in their wants and desires, in their thirst and appetites, in their sorrows and pleasures, in their triumphs and defeats, and they each inherit "nix feet of earth." and if there is any immortality no man has returned from the dead to tell us about it. If man lives on it must be in the works he did while he lived or in the children he begat in his life time.
When the superman dies we make a great ado about it. The civilized world rings for a few days with praise or blame of him, and then he drops out of sight and sound and is forgot, if he has not built his monument in his works during his short lease of life. When the ordinary man dies a few people he knew may gather at his funeral and follow his remains to their last resting place, and that is the last of him. A few years and he is forgot, becomes less than a memory. It is the way of the world. And the slave of the master is never the master of the slave until he shakes off the yoke of the master and vindicates his right to rule himself. Few have ever done that; millions have died striving to do that; millions are striving to do that.
When William Jennings, Bryan died at Dayton, Tennessee. Sunday afternoon, July 26, apparently in the best of health and spirits and during a short sleep which he counted after strenuous hours of travel and labor, a famous but dangerous man passed from labor to reward. He was a faithful servant of the Lord who went about creating confusion and strife in the land for thirty years, and the fame of him and his splendid oratory went throughout the world. When he died suddenly at Dayton the whole world, in thought, turned to him and the manner of man he had been and had ceased to be. We call that greatness. So it is. But greatness differs in kind as the stars in glory. The glory of Mr. Bryan was that of a demagogue, who fought mostly on the wrong side because he thought it the popular side, and who mostly lost in his warfare because he was on the wrong side. The people applauded him to the echo during the three campaigns he stood for the presidency as the nominee of the Democratic party, but they went to the polls on election. day and voted for his opponent. Strangely enough, however, Mr. Bryan grew fat in fame and money on defeats. He had a rare knack of coining fame and money with his big presence and splendid eloquence.
Mr. Bryan was the idof of the Southern Democrats; and that was one of the reasons why he could not reach the White House. He could never be got to make an expression on the wrongs inflicted on the Negroes of the South by the white majority, and he sympathized with the purposes, if he was not an active member, of the Ku Klux Klan. He died at Dayton as a crusader for Christian dogma as opposed to the findings of science, and believed the religious education of the people should be regulated by law, presumably that all the people should be Protestants and white, and should be punished by law when they were not. That is the reduction of the matter to an absurdity as Mr. Bryan believed in it, and the legislature of Tennessee has translated it into terms of law. He died in the midst of a fight to make the people of the United States slaves of a white Protestant religion. When he had gone far enough with the dangerous business, and he was made to show himself to be an ignorant bigot, he was cut down and his body cast into the grave. The world needs all sorts and conditions of men—the good and the bad, the great and the small, the constructive and the devastating—and out of the crucible of it all comes the generation which will make for the best and highest or the worst and lowest in living. If we were all good, or if we were all bad, the race would stagnate and die. Friction, crosses and trials, is required to bring out the best and the worst in human nature, and we rise or fall on the outcome of the conflict between the good and the bad members of the family, the race or the nation.
William Jennings Bryan was a famous but a dangerous man, a faithful servant of the master whom it pleased the Lord to cut down after a long life of confusion and strife breeding, out of which he gained much fame and money for himself.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
Every true race man is a radical.
He cannot be otherwise, because he must protest, by word or deed against existing standards. He may not accomplish much during his lifetime, but as we look back and see the heritage left us by our foreparents—the religious nature, the courage to fight for their freedom and for ours, the patience and faith displayed—so may future generations benefit by some small courageous acts of ours, and "rise up and call us blessed."—Cleveland Call.
Confidence is the first essential of success, in any walk of life. He who believes in nobody knows that he himself, is not he trusted.—Des Moines Press.
Southern propagandists, creating and expanding emigrateeism of racial prejudice, will see no more injustice and effective method of averaging the explosion of their seep-hubbli, "white supremacy," than by denying the Negro the privileges of citizenship. The Negro's militant fight to become a citizen in fact in these United States has brought home to the Southern powers Chef that the stern realization that the years of "white supremacy" are numbered—Washington Tribune.
Mark Twain and he had had a lot of trouble in his life but most of it never happened. And we think we have had a lot of depression in business, but most of it is still going on. We cannot back it up because the country has often depressed. Groups of strong Religious men another in the word to defend religion that these are armed. The best, best-born is a stronger competitor, a better writer, a lot of hard work and a clear experience—the Southern Amen.

He appears to have not recovered from the slave complex of having a boss.
As long as he remains in his present mental state he will be the slave of the capitalists and the victim of penury.
—Chicago Enterprise.
He the individual who trusts to luck and has a idea that his coffers will be filled properly, certain condition termed "good luck" will be dangerous to society as the criminal who takes a pistol and goes out to rob his fellow-man of his belongings.—East Tennessee News.
The great need of Negro business now is patronage. Capital, organization, and management are not worrying us so much new. It is the lack of adequate patronage. If a business of ours goes to the wall the race public lays it to bad management, insufficient stock, dishonesty, poor service and everything else but lack of patronage sufficient to keep the business going. We doubt that the public has the right to criticize until it has given the business a fair chance by giving it adequate patronage—Louisville Leader.
Race prejudice is a state of mind. The white race is developing a race consciousness which shuts itself in and shuts the Negro out of the circle of enmoblement. The social separation of the race is becoming so sharp and defined that there can be no complete meeting of the minds of the two. In disgrace Preeminent.
The Little Farm Being Swallowed by the Big Farm
From the New York "Sun"
In parts of the world as widely separated as the practices of our own Middle West, the stepspeaks of Russia and the rural sections of England it is becoming apparent that the day of the small farmer is waning. He cannot compete with the big land-owner in this day of tractors, improved machinery and accountancy systems. He must either find some means of cooperation or consolidation for production as well as for marketing or sell out to those who will
In England the very real danger of submarine warfare stirred the whole people to a back-to-the-land movement. Large estates were thrown open to cultivation. Everybody, who could get control, of a few acres and weight pick and hoe made hands to do so. After the war demobilised soldiers were encouraged to far farming. Courses in agriculture were opened in many schools, and production of home grown food did for the time increase rapidly. Almost as great a rush from the farm as there was to it, for the simple reason that small scale farming does not pay. The failure is due partly to faulty marketing arrangements, partly to indiscriminate planting and very largely to ruthous local competition.
It is, of course, obvious that ten farmers cannot farm ten acres each as economically as one competent farmer, with proper equipment, can farm a hundred acres. It is even clearer that the ten are at a great disadvantage, as against the one, when it comes to selling their produce. A great many of these new agriculturists went in for blooded pigs, chickens, and cattle, handling them with varying results, oblivious of the fact that, while they must sell to dealers as individuals, the dealers could buy collectively, reselling among themselves and "feeding" supplier to the retailers.
Thus the producers were forced to sell invariably in a poor market. Moreover, many of them sought to sell directly to consumers, with a natural result that Former A would sell its honey for a few pence less than Farmer B demanded, and Farmer C made a further cut below the price of Former A, to keep his honey from going to waste. All the time England was actually importing food products, which added to competition that was proving rulous to the smaller farmer. Something similar has been happening in Russia. When the Belshevist Government induced the peasants to remain on the land it was forced to recognize their traditional practice of collecting individual holdings. With much difficulty they were persuaded to try American tractors, but tractors can be operated profitably only on fairly large pieces of ground. It was in vain that attempts were made to induce the peasants to throw their lands together and divide the crops.
Finally the ingenuity of Yankee salesmen found a way. They began by plowing two or three furrows in a private field. Then, they said, they had to quit because there wasn't enough room in which to turn their machines. The peasants at last saw the point. The first experiments with joint tractor farming were so successful that the authorities at Moscow have taken the hint and are arranging for large consolidations of land for farming.
In our own country the lesson is becoming even better learned, not only in the great wheat lands of the northwest, but in the corn belt as well. The tractor rather definitely has halted the once strong movement from the big farm to the small one, and the present trend is in the opposite direction. The big farm became unprofitable through several factors, principally the shortage of labor and the increase in land values. Improved machinery has done much to overcome them both.
It is now largely possible to substitute gasoline power for muscle power. Fewer men are needed, but every man with machinery multiplies himself many times. From plowing and planting to reaping and threshing almost everything that used to be done by hand is now done by machine. They are even drying hay by mechanical device, so that it is no longer obligatory to "make hay while the sun shines." Tractor factories are behind on orders. In the prairie country, of Kansas a man plowing by horse or mule power is becoming almost a curiosity. Indeed, the facts seem to justify the editorial boast of the Wichita "Eagle": "The tractor, not in its day of experimentation and its stage of cautious adoption, but in its hour of universal use, now upon us, is leading the level plain to a new era."

France's Color Line in Morocco and Her Other Colonies
From the Nation
The bitter struggle in Morocco between the Riff tribes under Adel-al-Krim and the authority of Governor General, Layutte raises for re-amination the question of the success of the French colonial experiment in North Africa—especially in relation to the race and color question.
France has a deserved reputation of having come closer to solving the color question than any other great Western power. The situation both within France itself and in her colonies is free from those tragic prejudices which make Britain's dominion in Egypt and India seem so hopeless and form a continual ferment of injustice in the South and the United States. South Africans who recently tried to carry their accustomed treatment of the Negro to Paris and demanded the exclusion of that race from some of their favorite resorts received a sharp reminder of the different situation there and here. Resort owners who want to their demands were promptly punished by the French government, and the Americans were warned, that they could not import their race prejudices into France. Other colonial powers of the twentieth century have generally asserted, directly or indirectly, the doctrine of white superiority. But France, as the Millennium Writer, has recently published "Greater France in Africa." "Fully asserts that there is no race and color question, at least officially, and uses every effort to secure complete equality, even social."
The French attitude toward race and color has two main sources. One is the natural tolerance, the spirit of "live and let live," which is one of the finest characteristics of the French people. The other is a definite political policy which recognizes the value of the people of North Africa as a military reservoir and sees the advantage of holding their friendship and loyalty. Yet in spite of the generally reasonable attitude of the French, both offensive and defensive actions of the people of color, equality is far from achieved in North Africa, if we accept the account of Mr. Sloane. In fact, equality is a slogan for political consumption rather than an actual administrative program. Mr. Sloane visited Morocco and Algeria as a guest of the French government and a representative of the Committee France-America. The account of his visit may without offense be said, to be friendly toward France. Yet he does not conceal that, in spite of any assertion to the contrary, there is a race and color question in North Africa and that French experiment is, at least, only an approach toward the enormous difficulties and intricacies of a problem that has been continually halted by ancient human prejudices and passions. Even in Algeria, where France has had a foothold since 1815 and general control for three-fourths of a century, Mr. Sloane finds that race equality is not yet a reality.
The Literature of French Africa is fairly large [he says], and many so-called novels deal with real life in Algeria. A dispassionate reader finds the plot, either incidentally or mainly, concerned with the hard lot of natives who, after being Gallicized, aim at social equality. There is in them a sense of being between the subject and dominantly race, would seem to indicate that in Algeria at least there is a race, if not a color, question.
There are many complexities of race and color in North Africa. The Arabs belong to the Semitic branch and the Berbers to the Hamitic division of the Caucasian race. Both are therefore technically "white," but long exposure to African suns and circumstances has given them a hue almost as "dark as that of the Negroes, who have for centuries formed another considerable element in North Africa—larger still today, when France imports troops from south of the Sahara, to fight her battles in the Middle East, who also an appreciable Jewish "historian Mr. Sloane says that in the large cities of Algeria the Europeans and the natives have separate quarters, although mixing in a business way. Of the country communities Mr. Sloane gives this description:
"Some are purely Oriental towns of small size, with crooked dirty streets, a little market-place and scanty bazaars, with a mosque and shabby minaret. Others are just as purely European, built of low one or two-storied bungalows, arranged on streets in some variation of the checker-board plan, with a public square, shops and a tavern or two. In the European towns of Algeria there are always a few natives, in the native towns a few Europeans. But for all practical purposes the permanent inhabitants are segregated from each other."
Segregation in a modified form is also under way in Morocco. The mixing of Europeans and natives in the large cities has not been entirely satisfactory, Mr. Stoeck
"Accordingly at a certain distance, a mile at least, generally more, from the great towns and administrative centers of each district there have been overgrown quail French hamlets where the orchids and their families reside in plains and houses. . . . These birds of France discover甜点, spoon to give no objection, and native competitor with their own indigenous edifice, their monkeys uncomplained by Indian foot, their bears and muskrat plumes."
From The New York World
Sir: In The World July 33 is printed a despatch from Paris, written by Col Charles Sweeney, in which he tells why he and six other military aviators are going to Morocco to see how many Rifles they can kill. The colonial evidently writes: in answer to some criticism of his prospective activities and the activities of others.
No Rifles have ever committed any act of aggression against Col Sweeney, or threatened his security, or devastated his homeland, or done any of the usual acts which might justify his warring upon them. Yet he is going to kill as many of them as possible, whether directly or indirectly, and is going to use van immensely superior military arm against tribesmen who have only a few scouting machines, badly piloted.
His plans can be justified by saying that there are very few wars going on just now and that military aviators have little chance to practice. On what other grounds can they be justified? France is not endangered, she is not fighting for liberty, she cannot possibly be conquered and subjugated by the Riflans. She is fighting an imperial game, seeking to subdue a people who want no protectorate, who in their own way are fighting for the very principle of self-determination' which we were supposed to champion when we entered the war against Germany, Col. Sweeney claims that he is fighting for civilization and for the Sultan of Morocco. Does the Sultan stand for civilization in the colonel's opinion? Is he rather a weak puppet who would throw in his lot with Abd-alkrim to free his country from foreign domination if he had any real patriotism? And why does Col. Sweeney harp upon the Lafayette Escadrille record of his companions in private warfare?
Terms like "soldiers of fortune" or "gentlemen adventurers," are they not a little out of date? Does Col. Sweeney know anything about the norfolk record of the Foreign Legion in French colonial warfare. Its genial contribution to the spread of civilization? Does he want to restore warfare to the status of a glorious adventure? Or does he just want to kill a few people?
Uniforms of Soldiers Play Important Part
PARIS. July 25.--Like the picturequeous red trousers of the French troops which are familiar the world over, the pre-war horizon blue uniform made famous by the polls at Verdun may disappear in turn. Neither it nor drab khaki is considered any longer the most practical color adapted to modern conditions and methods of warfare. That is the enlistment experts have gathered from the Riff campaign where, in view of the anping Berber markamen, visibility plays a vital part for the troops. It is suggested that the army be given room resembling Joseph's manifolds of many hues. Experience in the great war on all fronts with the "dazle" of painted guns abundantly proved that the highest invisibility by vivid contrasting of various colors. Similar-methods brought the best results at sea.
It is not impossible, therefore, that armies of the future will be clothed in uniforms of which their brilliant gaudy hues will far surpass anything dreamed of in 'the past—soldiers splashed all over with stripes and lozenges like harlequins.
1,165 Pound Tunnyfah Is
Landed on Jersey Shore
MANASQUAN, N. J., July 27.—A giant tumpu nearly fifteen feet long and weighing 1,165 pounds was landed on the beach here today by the sixteen members of the Manasquan Fish Company's power launch in command of Capt. Helding Swanson.
The captain said the fish was found entrapped in stake nets a mile and a half off shore and that it was beached only after a two-hour struggle in which it repeatedly broke away from gaffs and caused two of the launch crew to fall into the water.
Newspaper Publisher Tella
How He Retired on $50,000
A Texas, newspaper publisher who recently retired worth $50,000 in the bank was asked how he did it, says Thrift Magazine, and replied as follows:
"I attribute my ability to retire with a $50,000, bank account after thirty years in the country newspaper fold to close application to duty, always hewing to the mark and letting the ship fall where they may, the most rigorous rules of economy, never spending a coed foolishly, never spending at my job with a whole heart and the death of an uncle who left me $49,884.84
In loving memory of my dear husband, John K. Bruce, who passed away August 1, 1924.
Gene, Budd Net Forgotten
Moments keep the heart that pard:
Days will Enter grief to play;
Years will choke the Sower with wounds;
But time—time will eat the flesh sworn.
Who would be shredded away then,
When young Father and son

Strong British, Force To Hold Suez Canal
LONDON, July 27.—The Daily Express says that the Committee on Imperial Defense, to which Ramsey MacDonald referred the question of British military policy in Egypt, has reported that it is of vital strategic consequence to maintain adequate British forces on the banks of the Suez Canal, adequate naval patrols on the canal itself, and that with a view to insuring the safety of these forces to present British carriage at Cairo must be maintained as it is now.
The newspaper adds that the Cairns has accepted the report, which will form the basis of the British policy.

comrades are. Avilators returning after flying over it early this morning say the walls are still standing but the roof is gone. They thought they saw a handful of French troops in a trench 800 yards away.
This occasioned a belief the gerrison blew up the post before the Riffana ended, the tunnel they were building to mine it, and took refuge in trenches in order to await assistance which they knew would come, but not when. The Riffana fired on the airplanes which were swooping low and sought to riddle them with machine guns.
While fifteen men strangled back to Toroua through the lines of the enemy, Freydenburg's column was marching to relieve the outpost—fighting against the hilden enemy, against heat and against the sand-filled air eddying under a scorching sirenco wind blown from the deserts far to the south. The column had-only four miles to go, but it seemed like 400. Two hundred feet in front of the advancing skimmers a French plane crashed into the rocks, where it was entirely at the mercy of the enemy. Another pilot returning safely told me the plane immediately was surrounded, although he did not know whether by the French or Rifflaus, but he believed the latter. The air base here is awaiting amply news of whether their fallen comrade is living or dead—In the hands of enemies or friends.
Freudenburg's column hoped to reach Ain Bou Alissa while the defenders still held it, but when they started on the trek before dawn they learned it had been blown up. They persevered in the march, hoping against hope they might rescue the wounded Lieutenant, who commanded the post from a litter and directed the fire of the French artillery, six miles to the south, by flashing a mirror while unable to walk. Forty airplanes accompanied the advance, and all available artillery poured barricades opto the crests where the enemy was lurking but unseen. Later in the day airplanes had to be used to fight the enemy, who were filtering, closer and closer to Quezzan, ten miles west of Alissa, but the column kept up a slow, painful advance.
A report that a few members of the garrison were occupying a trench near the outpost, was immediately sent to Freydenburg, and it was read to him, who redoubled their efforts in order to save their comrades. It was believed only those able to make the risky march toward, Ternoula—fifteen living skeletons—had been sent south by the Lightmount in command. Of forty-five others that composed the post it is certain some were killed and many wounded. The entire force is believed to have been divided into three groups, sent out toward the French lines along different paths. But although they have not sighted the other two groups, one of these is believed to be fighting to the last breath in the trenches, which may be now their tomb, while a third cannot be located, either by hearse or other long-awaited searches.
Latest reports say that when the decision to blow up the post was taken the Rifflans were lying just outside the barbed wire, tossing grenades within the walls. But the report most anxiously anguished has not come in yet — where is the Lieutenant and those who are standing by him?
FEZ, French Morocco, July 29. — The period of relative calm which has exited the last few days along the Franco-Rifflan battle front is showing signs of coming to an end.
The enemy now appears to have completed regrouping of his forces and is beginning to renew his activities. Thus far these have only taken the shape of raids on the villages of tribes friendly to the Sultan of Morocco and the French, which have been burned, and attacks on French convoys.
There seems to be no doubt that the Rifflan leader, Abd-el-Krim, intends to

At the same time, the Riffians are strengthening certain points along the center, notably at Djebel and Amergou, in the Fer-al-Bal region. The Boualais' post is closely invested by the tribesmen, so that it has to be supplied with provisions and munitions by airplanes. On the east military activities are at a standstill. The Toussols and Branes tribes, which recently displayed an inclination to throw in their lot with the French, seem to have been won over by the skillful propaganda of Add-el-Krim.

BISHOP McGUIRE'S CONVENTION SERMON
(Continued from page 2)
the New York Division will be holding its local convention for a week or more simultaneously with a thousand divisions over the world. Because there is no International Convention, because our intrepid leader is absent, because financial prosperity is not in evidence, is no ground for presumption. The Negro newspaper of Harlem have taken note of those thirsts and have aloud predicted that this convention is the staging of 'Hamlet' with Hamlet left out. They have further mentioned sixty days as the limit for the endurance of this organization, at the expiration of which it will be homeless and shelterless, with the Negro World defunct. Whether the wish is father of the thought or not, we do not presume to know, but it is for the New York Local, and for all other divisions, in convention assembled, to prove them all false prophets. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder, has served faithfully and so this great organization, and it is now others to carry on. Let there be no internal divisions nor strife, for we are all blemished to promote a common cause. Let there be no unjust criticism of the present body, the executive council or the others of this division. For they are all men of honor who must be given credit for loyalty of purpose and devotion to service until they prove otherwise. Therefore during this convention conserve peace, banish self-planting and self-sciking, and strike the program and respond to the appeals made as though the President himself himself were presiding from this testimony. Though he is forcibly absent from us for the last time on August 1, no walks can commence his thoughts and his noble spirit. His thoughts are of us, and his spirit dominates this assembly. 'God bless him in his absence, and may our loyalty to his teachings, as evidence in this convention, convince both friend and foe that we know the truth, and the truth shall make us free.'

To the Editor of The Negro World:
Will you kindly grant me space to announce the sad bereavement we have just sustained in the death of Mr. Arthur Cecil Gratinger, at Cape Town, May 3, 1925.

Coming out to South Africa during the late Boer war, he was domiciled in the city of Capetown, close to twenty-five years. He was an expert motor mechanic. Mr. Gratinger's mother and two sisters and an elder brother, now reside in Boston, Mass. His elder brother once served in the United States Navy.

DETROIT MEMBERS VISIT CHICAGO
Detroit Stages Excursion to Chicago by Which Thousands of Followers from Two Cities Mingle
DETROIT. Mich.—It is a pleasure and an honor to report to the World the success of the excursion given by the Detroit Division to Chicago, July 13. Three cheers for the Detroit Division! On our excursion to Chicago we carried about 2,000 members and friends, with the Hon. J. A. Craigen as ticket agent at the station and Hon. Fred E. Johnson, conductor. The two trains with twenty-two coaches left Detroit about 12:00 p.m. on Saturday and arrived in Chicago Sunday at 8:30 a.m. When Detroit Division marched through the station gates, Chicago Division was there with its great president, Hon. W. A. Wallace, to greet us. A beautiful parade was staged at 1:00 p.m. The parade was a mile and a half long with three wonderful hands heading each Division. Chicago Gary and Detroit Divisions. After the parade a mass meeting was held at 2:00 p.m. at Wendell Phillips High School. The hall was too crowded to accommodate all members and friends and hundreds were turned away from the building. Many beautiful selections were rendered by the choir and three bands and many wonderful addresses were given, but there was one voice missing: one person absent—that, wonderful, character. The Honorable Marcus Garvey. Although no person he was absent, in spirit he was hovering over us. Long live Marcus Garvey! Long live Detroit Division! We heartily thank the Chicago Division for the hospitality shown to Detroit Division and we also thank everyone who helped to make the excursion a success.

CHICAGO ILL
Sunday, July 26, was a gala day in Chicago. It was occasioned by the pilgrimage of the Detroit division to Chicago on that day to be the special guest of Chicago Division No. 23. The pleasure was all that we expected, and even more. We had invited all of the nearby divisions to come over and be with us on the occasion to help us enjoy the rare treat and to do honor to the noted Detroit division. They came, and were more than pleased for having done so. The Detroit excursion train bearing more than 1,300 excursionists arrived at the Forty-seventh street station at 9 a.m., where they were met by the African Legions of the Chicago division under the command of Col. James A. Conwell. They were escorted from there to Liberty Hall, 4002 South State street, where they were greeted by the Chicago and visiting divisions and treated to a free luncheon.
At 12 o'clock all of the divisions sell into formation for a monster parade, which started at Forty-ninth and State streets. After passing through prominent parts of the Negro business section of the city, the parade disbanded at Thirty-ninth street and Prairie avenue, at the Wendell Phillips High School, where a great mass meeting was held, with an audience unequaled in the history of the Chicago division.
For the occasion Hon. W. A. Wallace, president of the Chicago division, and his staff of officers had arranged a special program, in which such noted characters as Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Vice-President-General; Hon. J. E. Johnson, president of the Detroit Division, and Mr. J. A. Craig, former secretary of the Detroit division, participated, and it is the consensus of opinion that they played their parts well. It seems that we can still hear the reverberation of the eloquent address of Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis as well as the resounding choirs of Mr. Craig's admonishing remarks, "Go on! go on! regardless of all the obstacles that may be placed in our pathway" which concluded his remarks.
Other notables on the program were the Hon. S. R. Wheat, president Chicago (West Side) division; Mr. U. White, vice-president Gary division; Mr. J. Bryant, president Indiana Harbor division; Mr. Cochran, president Chicago Heights division, and representatives and band of the Milwaukee division. Each visiting division had its band to participate in the musical features of the day. The renditions of the various bands took on the nature of a contest, which only added to the excellence of their performances.
The order of the program was as follows: Ritual exercises and remarks by Sumlin, vice-president Chicago division; selection by Chicago (West Side) division chair; address of welcome to W. A. Wallace, president Chicago division; selection, "Ethiopia," united
choir and bands; music by Detroit band; remarks by U. W. White, vice-president Gary division; remarks by J. Bryant; president-Indiana Harbor division; music by Gary band; remarks by S. R. Wheat; president Chicago (West Side) division; music by Chicago band; address by Lady Heanliss-Vinton Davies; remarks by J. E. Johnson; president Detroit division; selection, "Booker Washington," Chicago choir; selection by the West-Side choir; remarks by James Grawford, president Chicago; Heights division; selection, "God Bless Our President," united choirs and bands. Dismissed by Rev. M. Brown, chaplain.
In the evening, at the close of a perfect day, a day of thanksgiving andasting, when all with gladdened hearts were making ready to return to their respective places of abode; whip those of the outlying divisions were boarding their trains and automobiles; when the more than 1,300 visitors of the Detroit division had again taken their seats in the twenty-one coaches of the special train, chartered for the occasion, and we were all bidding each other good-bye, every soul was still manifesting in unmistakable terms that their cups of gladness were running over.
We dedicate it all to the cause, name and honor of his Excellency the Hon. Marcus A. Garvey President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League.

RICHMOND, VA
The Richmond Division of the U. N. I. A, gave a successful trolley party to Petersburg, Va., on July 27. The affair, was arranged by Mrs. Rosa E. Loving, secretary of the division. On reaching Petersburg a meeting was called at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which Rev. Eli Tart is pastor. A brief but enjoyable program was rendered. Mr. Burrell, Johnson, vice-president of the Richmond Dylson, presided. Mrs. Laura P. Johnson, lady president, read an excellent paper on "What Shall We Do with the Negro." Rev. Tart delivered a strong address in the interest of the organization.
The Richmond Division is planning to present Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey in a lecture at True Reformers Hall on Thursday, August 15. The public is invited.

SWIFT RIVER, JAM., B. W. L.
The mass meeting on July 27 began at the usual ode by the singing of the opening ode, followed by prayer. The president then called on the members, as well as those who want to fall in line with the Division, to do so by paying up their dues so that they may become financial with the parent body. That part of the meeting being unfinished, a splendid program was remanded, consisting of songs, recitations, addresses and reading from the Negro World. The Division enjoyed a rare treat in the shape of an address given by Mr. Lewis Levey, a blind brother who had traveled nine-miles on foot to attend the meeting. Following this was another address by Mr. Uriah Shiley, which was heartily applauded. A song by Miss Irene Daughman, the lady president and organist for the Division, followed. She was at her heat and was 'encored.' The other speakers for the evening were Messrs. W. E. Norman and J. Goulding, each one impressing the audience with the thought that as new Negroes, we are to carry on regardless of what the other fellow may think of us. The last song on the program was rendered by Mr. J. H. Norman, our local artist, entitled "Tell It. Out Among the Nations. Glarey Shall be Free." The selection was rendered in fine style. An enjoyable evening was brought to a close by singing the Ethiopian national anthem.
The Gary Division announces that through the co-operation of Metras, James Kevin and C. Joseph and the

diligent, labor of the loyal members of the division we have secured a piece of land upon which to build a Liberty Hall. Many of the former members of the division are rejoining and helping to promote this project. Successful mass meetings, afternoon and evening, were held on Sunday, July 26. Great preparation is being made for the coming convention. Full details will appear in the next issue of the paper. THOMAS BROOKES.

Lady Henrietta Jinton 'Davis was a distinguished visitor at the Columbus Division on Sunday, July 26. An interesting program was rendered in conjunction with Miss Davis' address. The Universal Band rendered many beautiful musical selections. 'Miss Davis' address was inspiring and instructive and many members expressed the wish that she could be with us at all times. A generous collection was taken as a result of Miss Davis' conquent appeal for aid for the Black Cross Navigation Company in carrying on this great work.

KINGSTON. JAMAICA
Garvey Day was again celebrated by the membership of the Kingston Division in real style. There is in existence that patriotic spirit in Jamaica that makes one feel that the sufferings of the Hon. Marces Garvey will not be in vain. He can rest assured that the cause that he so loves will be even more useful to humanity as a result of his incarceration. Liberty Hall was filled to capacity with an enthusiastic and eager crowd, who are anxious to hear of the health and welfare of Hon. Marces Garvey.
The meeting commenced with the singing of the opening ode, followed by the prayers and sermon by our esteemed Chaplain Mr. A. S. Burton. At the conclusion of the divine service Mr. H. B. Green, our 1st vice-president, occupied the chair while the program followed. After the reading of the president general's message by Mr. Gertrude Jones, kids president, the hymn "God Bless Our President" was sung.
The appeal for the collection was made by Mr. Chas, D. Johnson, who stressed the importance of the members of all divisions contributing literally for the support of the mab who at this moment is suffering behind the walls of a prison for living awakened the sleeping consciousness of a magistrate of the down trodden people of Ethiopia. The response was liberal, especially when one takes into account the financial depression which affects this island more so in the months of June, July and August. Other addresses and songs were rendered, and the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem brought an enjoyable meeting to a close.
SPECIAL CONVENTION NOTICE
The Parent Body is the very heart of the organization. If it fails to function properly the whole organization is sick. I must, therefore, call every member's attention to the fact that the Parent Body is passing through a very critical period. Obligations are pressing from every side. The monthly revenue received in the way of dues in no wise enables us to meet these obligations. We are, therefore, requesting each Division to raise a special collection for the Parent Body everyday during the whole of their local convention. This need not interfere with your regular collection. It simply means that at each meeting the members and friends must be given an opportunity to contribute to the Parent Body. These collections must be telegraphed to the Parent Body daily as taken up. WILLIAM L. SHERRILL,
Acting President-General.

erty Hall, we are having many outdoor meetings-which are on the whole very successful and well attended. Our Commissioner Hon. S. M. Jones is doing all in his power to spread the doctrine of the U. N. L. A. and deserves praise.
Traveling facilities in this island are not very easy to the enthusiastic worker of the organization, but as time goes on we are bound to proceed on much faster lines. The general outlook for the organization here is very promising. Negroes who never even have the movement a thoulihfare are accepting its doctrine and are assisting in promulgating its principles. We can assuredly boast of success. The war between France and Morocco is taking an important part in the affairs of our people. On every side you hear the name of the Arab war lord, Ariel-Krim. Our hearts go out to the Moors in this their struggle for freedom. We wish the parent body every success in furthering the cause of Africa's redemption.

The speakers for the evening were Mr. D. Vitalle, Mr. W. H. Simms and Mr. S. Green. At the close of the last speech the 1st Vico-President Mr. O. A. Brown made a general appeal for increased financial aid for the parent body. The program was as follows: Solo by Mrs. N. Vitalle, "God Bless Our President"; a solo by the General Secretary for the ladies division, Miss L. Souden, "Lord of Our Light."

Prohibition Acts Result
In Wholesale Crookedness
(From the New York World)
WASHINGTON, July 19.—Officials of the Government here and members of Congress are interested in reports to the Department of Justice that the Prohibition Acts have resulted in wholesale crookedness and the breaking down of moral standards among law officers in many communities throughout the nation. They realized that there was corruption, but not to such an extent as the actual facts show.
Cap. W. H. Stayton, head of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, conducted an investigation on his own hook long before Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews was sworn in as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Up to a month ago, he reported, 182 law officers engaged in the enforcement of the Prohibition Acts had faced criminal action for alleged overt acts, graft, corruption and conspiracy to defeat the provisions of the dry laws which they were supposed to enforce.
Whole Country Covered
"In an effort to show the type of men engaged in the attempted-enforcement of Prohibition," Capt. Stayton said, "we gathered information from all parts of the country.
"Charges against the law officers ranged from manlaughter to hijacking. Man, were charged with bootlegging, dishonesty and bribery." Those involved were Federal Prohibition agents, policecomm, constables, detectives and sheriffs.

DAYTON, Tenn. July 20 (United Press).—Judge John Tate Raulston, who presides over the Scopes trial says he guesses no unipole ever got so much advice about a case as he receives in his daily mail from all parts of the country.
Before court opened, he read this choice hit from the day's collection, slapping his knee and chuckling loudly, his gold tooth flashing, enjoying the fun as much as any of those who crowded around him:
$Dear Judge:
"What I want to know is, did Noah put on the ark flies, cockroaches, bedbugs, sheep, toads, scorpions and rattlesnakes? If he did he ought to have been hung as a horse thief or shot.
"There are a hundred species of fish in the world. Did Noah put all these aboard the Ark? If he did he must have put them in tanks and the tanks would have been higher than the ark. And how did he unload them again and get them in the ocean? You have got lots to think about. Don't pay any attention to Bryan. He is a fool and his stuff is bunk. You will be a fool, too, if you do."

Dear Comrades:
I am embracing this opportunity to speak to you at this particular time as a servant of this gigantic institution. The absence of our great leader inspires me to do so.
During my incumbency of the office of Assistant Secretary General we have been through correspondence thrown into contact with each other. During the past year we have had some very perplexing problems.
As the first day of August comes and goes the closer get to the realization of the absence of our indomitable leader: Marcus Garvey, the master mind, who gave birth to the spik which has truly lit the fanning torch of liberty for our people in every quarter of the known world, the man who has enabled us to see as we have never before seen.
"There is nothing new under Heaven." In men of genius we rarely meet with anything original, but we find in them truth, with which we are more or less acquainted, grouped with fresh power, and set forth with new meaning and beauty. This is surely true of Marcus Garvey.
It is easy at all times to discriminate between the man of desire and the man of determination. The personality of the former is hazy and irresolute. One hesitates at every top; the other carries an air of vitality and decision with him wherever he goes. One waits for things to happen and criticizes when the other fellow does the things he might have had in mind but through lack of courage and determination did not attempt, to put into execution.
We, therefore, need strong men who are in sole possession of their own wills, men who are honest and will not jeopardize the interest of their race for their own selfish whims or fancies but who will show themselves approved according to Paul. "Workmen that need noteth to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth," not race salesmen—but statesmen.
While you sit in conclave for these fifteen days always bear in mind that reforms, morally and otherwise, grow out of a suffering people, born of a spirit of discontent.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association's cause is a rightful one. We are, therefore compelling this wicked and unfair world to learn that righteousness exulteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people. Be not, therefore, discouraged in the cause which you are saving. Have faith in God, confidence in yourself and abiding love for and assurance in your leader. Wishing you every success in your deliberations, I am.
Fraternally yours:
P. L. BURROWS.
Assistant Secretary General.

HARBEN.—The site of the ancient city of Marucho, once capital of the kingdom of Targut, is reported to have been discovered by P. K. Kosloff, a Russian explorer. He recently has returned from a two years' stay in the heart of Mongolia, bringing with him, it is said, quantities of treasures of interest to scientists.
A library of 2,500 volumes in seven languages and some 350 pictures are said to have been recovered from the ruins of the long lost city, covered for centuries by the sands of the Gobi Desert.
Some of the books reported to have been found are in a language hitherto unknown to philologists, but the explorer had the good fortune to find a dictionary of the language, which should greatly facilitate the translation of the books.
Chivalric Americans Desert French Wives
From the New York World
PARIS, July 7. Twenty-seven wives of Americans were abandoned in France last month, according to Paris newspapers. It is asserted American husbands send their French wives to Europe for a vacation, promising to keep them well supplied with money, but this is only a pretext for getting rid of them.
No money comes to women who have been thus deserted and stranded, and often they are not even informed that meanwhile they have been divorced by their husbands on grounds of desertion of their homes.
Figures are quoted to show 1,000 out of 5,000 Francon-American marriages since the armistice have ended this way. French authorities have been asked to take up the matter with Washington.
400 Killed in 200 Days By Motor Cars in Chicago
CHICAGO. July 20. The four hundredth death from automobile accidents in Chicago and vicinity in 1925 has been recorded, an increase of 22 per cent over the first 200 days of last year. "Children to the number of 121 are included in the 400 dead," said Coroner Wolf. "More than two-thirds of the victims were pedestrians." Chicago's four hundredth death was one of nearly a score reported throughout the country over the week-end. Five motorists, including two children, were killed at a grade crossing at Brookfield, O. Three Illinois residents met death in Indiana, while five deaths were recorded in Illinois. One death was reported at Grand Forks, N. D., and one at Los Angeles. The Sunday casualties brought the week's total of automobile deaths in fourteen Middle Western States to 35, with several injured.
Let Us Remember—
That our personal suffering is but little compared with that which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is now cheerfully enduring for the race.
Rebel:—A librator before he puts it over.
Your Secrets to the Right Man. Happy in Friendship, Business and Domestic Fairs. High John, the Conqueror, Admiral and Eve, all kinds of Roots and Herbs.
THERE is not a man or woman who has not at some time or other had troubles, whether it be in business or in the home, in courtship or in marriage. Life is not lived without its joy and sorrows, its failures and successes. It's all in the game of life whether you cry today or smile tomorrow; whether you are rich today or poor tomorrow; but he who can take the will for the deed, and anticipate sunshine after rain, is the fellow who is bound to overcome the hardships of life.
Many of us who are Christians use these words in our prayers, "Lead us not into temptation," but how many of us understand the meaning of this supplication to our Heavenly Father; how many of us are able to pass through the crucible when the test is applied, although we pray not to be tempted beyond our strength. Yet we must be prepared at any time for the temptation that will test our faith in Him, and our fitness to be partakers of greater earthly blessings.
When sorrow comes into your life, ask yourself, what is the purpose behind the affliction, and to what use can such adversity be put? If you are on a sick bed, it may be a chance for you in the silence of your bed chamber to review your life, and to resolve on a new course when you recover. If you are broke, it may be an opportunity for you to find out who your real friends are and to know and appreciate the real value of money when you acquire it again. If you are in prison, it may be the means of self-chiding and a determination to be a more useful citizen when you regain your freedom. If you are disappointed in love affairs, perhaps it is all for the best, as he or she might not have been faithful after marriage. If your business fails, try some other line, you may make your fortune in that. And so in all wolks of life, one should aim to overcome temptation and to conquer, misfortune. The fellow who yields and throws up his hands in despair goes from bad to worse and pesters the world with his whinings—that fate was against him, and the Lord forsook him.
If the late Charles Steinmetz had not been a cripple, this country might not have benefited by his electrical discoveries. As a more robust man he might have shunned the dull monotony of laboratories, and taken up some other business, at which he might not have excelled. If John D. Rockefeller had been born rich, he would not have appreciated the value of one dollar, and have been able to so invest as to make two out of one. If a McSweeney had not died on hunger strike, the sympathies of the world would not have been aroused to the extent of forcing Great Britain to make Ireland a free State. If a Yaghloud Pasha, Gandhi and Garvey had gone to prison their cause would not have had such phenomenal success and intensified the determination of their followers for nationalism. If a Christ had not died on Calvary's Cross, Christianity would not be the ruling spiritual force in the world today. In truth one must be prepared to make sacrifices if he would enjoy great rewards, either for himself or for others. He who can see opportunity through adversity and good in everything exemplifies that faith in self and faith in God that make of him a successful and contented man.
COMMON AILMENTS OF CHILDREN
BY THE BLACK CROSS NURSE OF NEW YORK
Adenoids and Enlarged Tonsils.—The symptoms which indicate that a baby is suffering from adenoids are roostless sleep, snoring, snuffling, sleeping with the mouth open and inability to nurse properly. All these conditions, are due to the fact that these enlarged tissues partially close the nasal and throat airpasses so that the baby cannot breathe freely. Eater the same causes may lead to deafness and other defects which very seriously hinder the child's growth, both of body and mind. All babies, who show any signs of trouble of this kind should be examined by a competent physician who will decide how early the operation for the removal of these growths may be performed. Children suffer so seriously from this disease that no parent should be willing to have a child start out under such a handicap. In the hands of a careful surgeon the operation is a slight one, and in many cases the relief is immediate.
Colic.—This is caused by indigestion due to overfeeding, improper or too frequent feeding. The bowel is distended by gas, giving rise to revere pain. The baby cries sharply, alternately drawing its legs up to the body, then kicking them away. Do not feed the baby while the attack lasts. Warm water may be given if the baby will swallow it, but be careful to holl the water and cool it before giving it to the baby. In a very severe case of colic an enema consisting of, one-half, jeacupful of warm soap water will very often give relief. Colic is peculiarly an alliment of young babies and usually disappears by the third or fourth month. Sometimes a change of position will give the baby relief, and be careful in keeping the baby's feet warm.
Prohibition Found
LONDON: July 18- The man who started India on the road to total Prohibition presented an interesting figure to the correspondent who went to interview him in his London hotel. Leona and spare of figure, the Hon. Chinifunl Mehta impresses one as a successful person in all walks of life.
The problem with us was urban and not rural," remarked Mehta, "because more than 50 per cent of the total consumption was distributed among about twenty towns with a population of more than 18,000 each. Bombay City alone being responsible for close on 33 per cent of the whole. The rural areas
having a population of more than 15,000,000, did not consume more than 1,300,000 gallons.
"Indians were" practically Prohibitionists by nature and even when the evil was at its highest there were very few cases of drunkenness as such. The trouble lay with the working classes, whose wages were low, and anything spent on liquor meant a substantial reduction in the necessities of life.
"I have in mind one village in Gujerath," said Mehta, "where as a result of a social movement in 1921, we closed all the liquor shops, and have had no occasion, or demand to open them again. The condition of agriculture has immensely improved.
Flays Suggestive
LONDON, July 29.—If women were to go about without any clothes at all, it would be "far less repugnant to people of good taste" than are the present suggestive styles, in the opinion of 75-year-old Cardinal Gauquet, Vatican librarian, here on a visit.
"There is more suggestiveness about the fimay clothing they now wear than there would be in complete nudity," said the aged churchman.
Meantime, Roy. Richard Free, an English vicar, preached a sermon in which he declared that "day by day in every way the fair sox is growing nakeder and nakeder," and questioned whether the police would have to be called in, as they were on account of Parisian ladies' costumes after the French revolution.
Iodine Tells Housewife If Corn Is Not Sweet
BEVERLY. N. J., Aug. 2.—The woman who goes marketing may in the future slip a vial of iodine into her vanity case as a first aid to successful selection of the sugar corn she boys. Experiments made by Federal and State agricultural agents indicate the practicability of the test.
Farmers say that not all is sweet corn that masquerades as such in the market. Corn is merely white, field, or horse corn in its green stage. Complaints of consumers brought about the test. Ears of different varieties of corn were used. A few kernels were split and a daub of iodine applied. Field corn turned a light brown. The poorer kinds of sweet corn became a darker brown, while genuine sugar corn changed to black.
The war gave us many new words and a brand definition of the word "bean."
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1985
By Jane Dixon in New York Telegram
A booklet entitled "New New York Law: Discriminate Against Women."
Compiled by a nation-wide group of women laboring valiability for establishment of sex equality.
Front-page, the booklet broadcast seven laws on the statutes of the Empire State, each one a fluttering pulse beat of those Dark Ages in which woman was regarded as a chattel of man and jurisprudence was administered on the basis of her physical, mental and moral inferiority.
"New York." reads the text, the boasted center, of advanced thought, still does not accord woman civil and political equality with man.
"While the New York statutes disclose a modification of common law injustices to woman, even today she is subordinate to man, and the two are not co-ordinate. A common prejudice yet prevails against her, and a fair field for her genius and her industry is not open.
Here are the seven points which prove the charge that the vaunted most progressive Commonwealth in the most modern Republic on earth refuses to allow equality of opportunity to its citizenship:—
1. Mother's authority over legitimate children is not equal to fathers.
2. Women bear the brunt of burden of illegitimate parenthood.
"3. Married women's services in their homes belong to their husbands.
"4. Women are not allowed to serve on juries.
"5. Men are preferred to women as administrators.
"6. Women in industry are handicapped, by discrimination.
"7. Women teachers are denied equal opportunity by school regulations."
Do you know that under the listed rulings the father owns the services and earnings of minor children; that the father alone is entitled to sue for injuries to children?
Do you know that the mother of an illegitimate child is equally responsible with the father for its support; that it takes her name; that she is its parent for practically all purposes and must assume the weight of responsibility.
Do you know that if a wife performs services in her home for persons outside the family, such as taking in boarders or lodgers, the earnings belong to her husband; that she cannot enforce payment for services if she works for him in his place of business?
Do you know that the husband's domicile controls the wife; that the widow's share in her husband's property is often less than the widower's share in his wife's property?
For your own information investigate the laws governing women who work in your own community.
Then get out and work against this discrimination in which justice or the rights of the individual have no part.
If we share the responsibility of citizenry, then we are entitled to the privileges of citizenry.

The Start from New York and the Long Delay at Philadelphia, Due to Engine Troubles—Meeting with the Philadelphia Local—Many Visitors on the Steamship—The Start for Norfolk — Beauties of the Ocean at Night
Written For The Negro World
By HANNAM NICHOLAS
We sailed from New York January 18, 1828, at 6:25 p. m. An enthusiastic crowd of people waited to see us sail and wish us bon voyage, after which dinner was served in the dining room, which was, beautifully lighted with electric lights; the tables were decorated with flowers and shining silver and glass. While we were still seated in the dining room we neared the Statue of Liberty, holding aloft her beacon light, seeming also to wish us a pleasant journey and a safe return.
After dinner we retreated to the ladies' salon, where we talked and worked cross-word puzzles. At 10 we retired. This was my first night on the water. I slept well and arose at 1:30 a.m. feeling fine. The day was spent pleasantly by the passengers reading and conversing until evening. An accident happened in the engine room, but fortunately it was just as we dropped anchor in the Port of Philadelphia. The accident caused no discontinuity to the passengers and we retired about 10:30.
Early Tuesday, January 20. Mr. Garvey came on board the steamer and later the tug towed us into port. We spent the day aboard ship. In the evening we attended the meeting at Liberty Hall. Mr. Fred A. Toote is president. In spite of the cold, the meeting was well attended. The people rallied in support of the ship and also made a present of a victoria to the ship.
The accident to the engine delayed us eight days, during which time we attended the meetings nightly. After the meeting Wednesday night, January 21. I attended the midnight show at the Lyric Theatre, Broad and Cherry, with my sister, who resides in Philadelphia, to see Floren Mills, whom I had missed seeing in New York. I enjoyed the show very much. She is a very clever actress and has a charm all her own.
Thursday we had our pictures taken for passports, and at the evening meeting at Liberty Hall the members of the choir presented 'Mr. Garvey with a paper ship, a model of the Booker T. Washington. Mr. Garvey was suffering for a couple of days with an attack of asthma, but would not give up, and was very busy all day long, preparing for our leave on Sunday. On Saturday, January 24, about 8:30 a.m., on account of the eclipse, it was very dark for several seconds.
In the evening we visited the division in Filmwood. It was very cold and the pavement as smooth as glass. Because of this the meeting was poorly attended. Many visitors came to the ship every day and seemed so proud to see a ship owned by Negroes. Sunday they began to arrive about 10 o'clock, as the afternoon meeting was held on the ship. By the time the meeting started, 1:45 p. m., the deck was crowded and the dining room, where the speakers were, was filled to capacity. The speakers, Mr. Garvey, Miss Davis, Mr. Carter, Mr. De Vena, Mr. Johnson, all spoke, Mr. Roselle, president of the Camden, N. J., Division, gave a very encouraging talk on the value of the ship, telling them it was an asset of which they should be proud and urging the people to support it.
During Mr. Garvey's speech the people were moved to tears and there were hearty responses and amnesia all over the room. The people remained on board inspecting the ship and talking until ordered ashore about 5:30 p. m., as we expected to sail at that time, but the captain informed us that we would not sail until 5 a. m. Monday.
Monday morning there was a heavy fog. We could not see the lights at the dock. The fog continued until about 8:30 a.m. when the pilot came to tow us out; and a few minutes of 10 we sailed out of Philadelphia. There were quite a few people who came to see us off, and we are on our way to Norfolk. The sun came out beautiful and clear, and every one aboard was smiling and happy. As evening drew near and the sun began to set, the scenary was wonderful. The sun seemed to rest on the water, where the skyline and water meet, like a ball of gold, making a direct path of gold to our ship. The clouds took all shapes, and looked like a landscape painting, with trees and shrubbery. We watched while a glimpse of daylight remained. We spent a very enjoyable evening, as the passengers were all very sociable, and retired later than usual, about 11 o'clock.

floating little look between two plain, unattractive, almost comically rounded little human figures, but it was a look of such implicit trust on the part of the woman and such complete and understandable tenderness on the part of the man that her heart almost stopped beating for a moment from the sheer human beauty of it. Then the huge, black, green-eyed monster that they were awaiting came roaring up and swallowed them, still clinging as closely together as the surge of hurrying humanity would permit. The woman with smiling eyes and a feeling that the whole world had suddenly, broken softly into song waited happily for the red-eyed monster that would follow.

OH, YES; LOVE IS MUCH MORE THAN "ILLUSION"
(From the "New York Sun")
The woman was having dinner downtown one evening with a group of young and very modern business women and the conversation turned, as it so often does nowadays, to the current dialect in the lasting qualities of love. None of them spoke of it as other than a brief illusion, and the atmosphere was blue with cynicism. It was depressing and, the woman found herself becoming more and more dejected and distressed as the meal pre-gressed. It was all true, she felt the belief was too general to doubt it, and to hope for anything better was but fully, futility and waste of time. Accordingly, when the dinner was over she took her gloomy feelings and thoughts into the gloomy depths of the subway. "If love is only an illusion," she thought, "then everything else that seems worth while is, too, and so what's the use in anything?" But just here she began unconsciously from force of an observing habit to look around her at her fellows in human misery and her attention was drawn to a little round tub of a man and an equally round, little tub of a woman who were standing very close together near her. They were an elderly couple and obviously strangers in the city from some smaller sown and unaccented crowds and the noise that they had encountered during the day showed plainly in the tired face of the woman.
The man was tired, too, but man like he was endeavoring not to show it and the woman was clinging to his arm as to a veritable rock of refuge. There was something about the attitude of both that prompted the woman to seek a closer glimpse of their faces, and as she did so she caught a look that passed between them. It was just a

The expense of running the Organization for the good of the race is tremendous. Organism work must be done and current demands must be taken care of. The fight to Afriam's redemption is a costly one, and must be borne by members of our race. We need money now more than ever to carry on the great organization Marcus Garvey founded for the redemption and salvation of the race. Everybody should help. If you can contribute $4,699 let us have it immediately. Those who can give us $10, $25 or $50 can be gratefully thanked for their patience and loyalty.
LONDON. England.—One of the many things I had decided to find out on my trip to Europe is the lot of the white-working people as compared with that of the Negro in America. At first glance, I am prepared to say that the lot of, even the humbler Negro is better than that of many in the more genteel occupations here, so far as wages and the cost of living is concerned. The more I see the firmer grows the conviction, that were it not for color prejudice the United States would be a black man's paradise. At present it is that of the white man. The United States, with its enormous resources right at hand, has, comparatively speaking, no poor people as compared with these older habitats of the white race.
Wages in London, so far as I have found out, are from a half to a third of what it is in America, particularly

in the matter of so-called common labor. I have talked with dozens of the laboring whites, and I find that they get about from seven and a half to ten dollars a week. A recent labor report said that more than 50,000 railwaymen are getting less than $12.50 a week. A railroad inspector told me that he got three pounds, or $15 a week. A Pullman porter in America gets as-much without tips. The average stenographer gets about $10. A good one in the office of a friend of mine is paid $6.25, and his glad to get the job. In America she could command not less than $20. Housemaids get from $2.25 to $6. I know several maids in America who get as high as $50 a month for four hours' work daily.
And the most surprising thing of all is that the price of almost everything is actually as high as it is in

FOR THE FINANCIAL AID
America. Recently in one of the popular restaurants I paid $0 cents for the following: a ham and egg sandwich, a cup of tea, and two pieces of cake, equivalent to a single portion in a New York hotel.
Room rent is slightly cheaper. A room that brings $8.50 costs about $5 here, minus most of the conveniences, such as steam heat and hot water, which are practically unknown. Living in the country parts is cheaper, but so is labor. Woollen clothing is cheaper and of superior quality, but cotton goods are about as high. Fruit costs about the same as it does on Lenox Avenue.
this is that it is assumed that since these men can afford to enter these expensive places, they must be persons of consequence. Britain has many black kings and princes, and who knows but that these Negroes may be one of them.
And as to the Hindu princes, many of whom are quite Negro-like in appearance, they cut quite a figure in social life. One of them recently gave a party that was said to eclipse anything seen here for some time. As was said, it is a matter of class and mostly of money. A black man who would be received at the Savoy may be refused on Tottenham Court Road, because it is assumed that if he was a person of consequence he would not enter the latter place.
How the working people make ends meet is a mystery to me. The majority must be living on the bare margin possible. On the other hand, there is much evidence of great wealth. The rich, however, complain of the high income tax. There is a great deal of unemployment, and it is a calamity to lose one's job. Doles of about $4 a week are paid to the unemployed, but with the high cost it doesn't seem to relieve the situation very much. It is no uncommon sight to see men and women crouching in a doorway, that being their only home. At the Thames embankment hundreds of these derelicts may be seen any night. During the four years England was at war she lost much of her market abroad. At present her imports exceed her exports by several million dollars.
But, while America leads England in those things that make for bodily comfort in matters of culture and good taste, the former is proportionately as far behind. I know the average white American well, and to speak frankly he is a boor, as compared with the lowest class of English. I have met some of the best class and of the lowest here, and I have found good bleeding uniform throughout. So far I have yet to meet a rude person. The average London "hobby" is a polished gentleman compared with a New York "cop." And, by the way the London policeman doesn't carry a gun. The culture of the English people is best manifest in the manner in which the law is observed. In 1922 England and Wales, with a population of 38,000,000, had 102 murders, white Chicago, with its 3,000,000, and New York, with its seven million, had over 300 apiece. To a Negro coming from the United States, the courtesy is to say the least, refreshing.
Color Prejudice
Color Prejudice
And this is not to say that there is no color prejudice here. I have talked with several full-blooded Negroes, and they have pointed out to me several places where they say, they are refused service. These places were all of the lower class. Many white people have also told me that the dark Negro is not so welcome, as his color is so obvious. On the other hand, the fact is that very dark Negro habitants of mine go with white men to the best hotels and restaurants to dine and to dance, and are received with the courtesy accorded any other guests. I have been told that the reason for
this is that it is assumed that since these men can afford to enter these expensive places, they must be persons of consequence. Britain has many black, kings and princes, and who knows but that these Negroes may be one of them: And as to the Hindu princes, many of whom are quite Negro-like in appearance, they cut quite a figure in social life. One of them occasionally gave a party that was said to eclipse anything seen here for some time. As was said, it is a matter of class and mostly of money. A black man who would be received at the Savoy may be refused at Pottenham Court Road, because it is assumed that if he was a person of consequence he would not enter the latter place.
West Indians of the poorer class blame it on the Americans; who they charge with importing color prejudice. They point, o the time before the coming of the latter when England, was a black man's paradise. I think, however, that much of the blame is on the Negroes themselves, certain rowdies by their actions making it bad for persons of like color in certain neighborhoods.
White Americans have, doubtless, done much to spread color hate throughout Europe. In a recent talk with, Mr. John Harris, parliamentary secretary and author of several books on the Negro, the latter assured one that American influence was at the bottom of most of the existing prejudice in London. Nevertheless, the black man still enjoys privileges unheard of in any part of the United States. But he must have money, for if he hasn't this is about the last place on earth for him. And this is understandable, or so many here are already in need themselves. I have met several Negroes who are doing well, and they declare that the idea of their returning to their homes in the United States. Canada or the West Indies is unthinkable.
to the color question, there seems to be little interest in it. The only times I have known it to be brought up by white persons was when I brought it up. Mixed couples seem to attract little attention. Last Sunday at a cricket match in Regent's Park between Negroes and Indians I saw no less than six of the former go with as many white girls into a crowded tea garden. Remembering the furor such a thing would have created in America, I watched carefully but failed to note the slightest excitement. It may have done so in inwardly but perhaps those there were too well-bred to stare. The English people, so far as I can see, have the happy knack of each minding his own business. To get the average Englishman to converse you must begin, and he'll be the first to stop.
Surplus of Women.
England is a woman's country, so far as numbers are concerned. The saying that there are seven women for one man seems to be highly true. They seem to enjoy considerable independence, too, smoking on the streets, busses and parks, and drinking in the saloons with the men. And they don't seem the worse for it. I have seen fewer drunken people in London than I saw in Harlem.
One result of travel is to correct one's information. I had always been led to believe that American white women were prettier than Englishwomen. The reverse is true. In a matter of facial beauty and complexion the latter are superior. American women, however, dress better and move with more snap and life. Of course, I am speaking of white women, for I am still of the opinion that when it comes to looks, and knowing how to put on clothes and then move with grace in them, the Seventh Avenue belle has no equal. Englishwomen are also much more natural and unaffected than American women; not. I suppose, because they inherently better but because there are so many, they must compete for the men. In America, with its greater percentage of men they must compete for the women. It is the old law of supply and demand.
Boasting Tourists
The average white American is little liked, largely because he is an offensive booster, and hits a way of depreciating everything. The fact is that almost everything in America is on a newer, more modern and convenient plan, still it is bad taste to be always rubbing in how much better off you are than the other fellow, and he retorts as we do in America: "If you don't like it here why don't you go back home." Hero one is judged not according to his color but his nationality, and I have constantly to be explaining in my own defense that the above-mentioned type does not represent the better class of American in pretty much the same way that I had to tell white people at home that the rowdy Negro is not typical of the race.
In the next article I will tell of some of the historic places I have visited as th. Tower of London, the Guildhall, St. Paul's Cathedral, and some of the persons I have met.
(Columbian Press Bureau)
WASHINGTON, D. C.—In Bulletin No. 44, published by the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, the gain of colored women in the occupational divisions of the manufacturing industry is marked. In 1836, when conducted in group connection with native white, foreign born white, Indiana, Chicago, Japanese, and all others, the inclusion of colored women was 4.4 per cent. The legislation grew in text pages. In the propagation station, to all per cent. in government affairs women be given the per cent. in prize so that per cent. would be in government affairs.

From the London Times (Weekly)
The debate last week in the House of Lords on Kenya and on East Africa generally transcended in importance many of the recent discussions in either house of Parliament. The questions raised in the Report of the East Africa Commission are at once stimulating and profoundly disturbing. In this report a complete account is given for the first time of a new Imperial responsibility that has come upon us almost unawares. The picture given in the Report of the extent of British control in a large area of Africa, and of the confused response of primitive peoples to the impact of civilization in the various forms and tendencies that are represented in our own conflicting, but still homogeneous society, is calculated to arouse doubts, hesitations, and fears that were clearly reflected in several apaches in the Lord's debate. These million or so of imperfectly investigated square miles of tropical and fertile territory, these twelve millions or so of primitive human beings, whose character, hopes, tendencies, and present conditions are still incompletely registered and are exposed to a bewildering irruption of new influences, are now a charge upon the conscience and the intelligence of the British people. The thing is done. We cannot escape from it. Lord Ollier and some other speakers concentrated on criticism of certain features in the present regime in Kenya, which, since it is a British Colony and has an important percentage of settled British population, they regard as typical of the general tendency of our effort and aim throughout East Africa. This kind of criticism and inquiry is altogether useful, even though it may be mistaken in detail. We cannot afford to make bad mistakes in any part of an enterprise that now clearly appears to be so big in its implications and its possibilities. The Kenya question, with its tangle of European, Indian, and African interests, is but a conspicuous element in that general East African question with which the Empire is now faced.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, in the admirable speech in which he pleaded for a long and broad view of the East African problem, took fully into account the anxiety for the welfare of the native population that had been expressed by other speakers. He strongly emphasized the ethical character of the new task that has been undertaken by the British people in East Africa, and the moral trust it involves for the well-being of the native peoples who are now suddenly caught in the sweep of an alien and very active civilization. In regard to the difficult labor question that had been raised by Lord Olivier, he pointed out that the Belgian Government; which has had many unhappy experiences in the Congo, has now established a rational system which, while preserving the native population against the abuse of indiscriminate exploitation, will provide both for public works and private enterprise the labor that is actually available. The real point of the Archbishop's speech lay, however, in his insistence, on the extremely imperfect nature of our information on the tremendous East African problem with which we are now confronted. The Parliamentary Commission's Report stated the East African problem in its whole impress- are extent, and, in so doing, it raised innumerable doubts and questionings. The actual figure of the total population is uncertain, and it is not clear whether the population is increasing or decreasing.
Questions of education, disease, and tropical agriculture are still in the stage of groping inquiry. Scientific investigation, as the Report clearly shows, is starved in the stress and routine of administration. It is clearly useless to embark on such big schemes as the transport enterprises recommended in the report unless there is some more exact idea of what our commitments are and what are the scientifically determined possibilities of this great territory and its varied and barely awakened population.
At the end of the debate Lord Bailen, speaking for the 'brownspots', came forward with the brilliant idea that he was the only secretary in three years of his and novel programmes. He persuaded the questionnaire of an historian, Dr. Robert Bailen, for the benefit of the audience of all and young people, by his brilliant speech. He said that he was interested in the subject and that he was interested in the subject.

Try This PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF
Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed.
There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

are limited by rather ancient precedent. Thieg is in existence a little Colonial Research Committees which has met only once during the past-year. The big economic, racial and physical facts that must now be carefully investigated in such regions as East Africa lie very largely outside the competence of any Government Department. The government, if it is to take long views and to respond adequately to the imaginative impulse which our new responsibilities awake, must be fully advised and fully informed by just such a committee of scientific experts as that which Lord Balfour proposes, on the lines of the Committee of Imperial Defence. It is high-time that scientific planning were brought into the service of our growing Imperial needs and Lord Balfour's idea of a sort of scientific Imperial General Staff should certainly be realized very soon. Its production is a very hopeful sign that the government is aware of its extending Imperial responsibilities.

PARIS, Aug. 2. Next Winter will be long and hard, according to investigations by the astronomer-priest, Father Gabriel, whil. Professor Guillaume Bigourdan, Director of the Paris Observatory, has described to the Academy of Sciences.
Father Gabriel has discovered that the lunar solar cycle of 741 years is divided into two periods of 572 years and four periods of 186 years. He asserts that the weather follows these periods, and that this Winter will be
Negroes "Pardoned" by Woman Gov. of Texas
AUSTIN, Tex.—After a thorough investigation of the records of scores of colored inmates of the State Penitentiary by a pardon board under James E. Ferguson, and a report to Governor Miriam A. (Ma) Ferguson, the newly elected head of the State government performed one of the most outstanding acts of executive clemency that the Lone Star State has over known, by signing pardons for $0 Negroes. Most of the men to whom Governor Ferguson granted pardons had had no friends to intercede for them. It was Governor Ferguson who several weeks ago issued orders for the State militia to protect two colored men confined in a Dallas jail from a mob of whites, if they had to shoot to kill, which they did, repulsing the mob and killing one of its members.
as severe as were the Winters of the years.1558 and 1740. His observations are based on researches into the works of historians, poets and writers which were likely to give weather indications. The French astronomer, Arago, had already remarked on this recurrence of hard Winters, without indicating the periods between them.
