HON. MARCUS GARVEY RETURNS THANKS FOR THE COUNTLESS MESSAGES SENT TO HIM IN PRISON ON HIS NATAL DAY
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
I desire to return heartfelt thanks to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and friends who so kindly sent me letters, telegrams, cablegrams, cards and other tokens of appreciation and encouragement on the occasion of the thirty-eighth anniversary of my birth, August 17.
I hold these kind remembrances, which number several hundreds, doubly dear. They are dear to me because I realize and know they have sprung from genuine hearts. I treasure them also because they serve to crystallize the realization that my work during the past seven years in the service of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in the case of Negro freedom has been thoroughly appreciated for the good that must inevitably result to fallen humanity everywhere.
I consider myself fortunate in my imprisonment in that I am enabled accurately to gauge the real impress which our Association, our great and glorious movement, has made upon contemporary history, upon the thought and attitude of men of all races. If to gain such a wealth of experience, to so thoroughly know the truth, be the price of imprisonment, then I rejoice that I was made to pay.
Be Not Weary in Well-Doing
It gives me a great deal of pleasure to send messages of cheer and to give you my advice and counsel in matters pertaining to the good and welfare of this organization of ours. I have dedicated my life to this work. I promised that I would stick to it until the very end, and only weariness in well-doing on your part could make me complain.
It would be more than presumptuous to believe that the program of the U. N. I. A. can satisfy everybody. Instead of spending our time trying to suit people who will not be suited, we must use all of our energy and ability to build up our organization. Division of interests spells ruin to any man or any people. You cannot serve well two masters. We of the U. N. I. A. must be heart and soul with the organization or against it.
Nothing to Hide
The U. N. I. A. has absolutely nothing to hide. We need to do our best with the materials we have had.

BIDS THE MEMBERSHIP KEEP THE RED, BLACK AND GREEN PROUDLY FLYING

IGNORE DISAPPOINTMENTS, FAILURES AND RIDICULE, TAKING A CUE FROM SUCCESSFUL PEOPLES
If, at times, we have faced seeming failure, it is no more that could be expected. A movement as new—for after all we are in our infancy—and as widespread as this could not expect to meet with nothing but success in its incipiency.
The enemy has sought on every occasion to make capital out of every disappointment of the U. N. I. A. The members of this organization need to realize that the whole world has disappointments. If you are foolish enough to believe that you are going to win your spurs through chance and luck, you make a big mistake. You have to win your cause through trials and tribulations.
This organization is not the property of any single individual. When you support this organization, you are supporting yourselves. You are endeavoring to build for your children, for the posterity of the race. If you are to succeed in this great aim, you must have plenty of backbone; plenty of power to resist disappointments, failures, ridicule, or anything else with which you may be confronted in the pursuit of your program. Men and women who have a vision of service have no time to waste in crying over discouragements.
Why We Are Strong.
The U. N. I. A. is strong because throughout the world we have well laid the sentiment that will make for the realization of the dream we have cherished. The U. N. I. A. has been the instrument of the awakening among Negroes: It has struck a responsive chord in the breasts of men and women of color in every part of the world. Representatives of the organization, as they go from place to place, find crowds of anxious listeners who never tire of listening to the messages of inspiration and courage which they bring. These people demonstrate in
no uncertain way their appreciation of the efforts of the members of this organization to bring into being a government which will mean freedom for our people.
Up to now the Negro has spent all of his time serving the white race. This faithful service has won him little besides scorn and contempt. The members of the U. N. I. A. have determined that their time shall be spent serving themselves and their people. All of the other races of the earth may take care of themselves. We are now determined to take care of ourselves.
Now Is the Time to Work
The white man brought us to these shores and, for 250 years, never taught us any lesson except that of worship of the white man. They hid the Christian Bible from us, except the part in which they taught us that we are created to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. They taught us no lesson but that of slavery and serfdom. But God opened the way for us to work out our own salvation.
Now, it is a question of self. It is a question of race. It is well that you understand the world as it is going now. The world of white is seeing white; the world of yellow is seeing yellow. Let the world of black see black. Try to imagine the great possibilities before you—the possibilities of a united determination to build a country, to build a nation, and see how quickly that nation goes up. It would go up in a year if you would unitedly say that it must go up.
The U. N. I. A. is pointing the way. Some of us have seen the way and have started the journey. This message is not to those who are on the way, but to those who may weaken and falter. Faltering only means that you are giving the other fellow an opportunity to undo all that you have at such sacrifice accomplished.
Keep the Colors Flying
Keep the Red, Black and Green proudly flying, and I shall be content. I shall return and continue to assist you with the utmost of my being to climb the rugged heights to freedom and power.
Founder and President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Cleveland Cali Gannot Understand Attitude of Small Blind Group and Asks "Why Should We Be Indifferent?"—Says Day of Settlement Must Come for Africa
(Editorial in The Cleveland Call)
The Prince of Wales, in the course of his visit to South Africa, has learned that the untutored African mind is looking forward to the day when it can assert its rights and throw off the yoke of the white man. Thus it may happen in time to come that the white man will experience a surprise from those whom he thinks he has least cause to fear.
We hope, however, that a deadly combat will not come. It must not come now, for the African races, scattered, disunited and largely uneducated would be no match for the white races, united, intelligent and equipped for modern warfare. But a context and a settlement of some kind will come, and let us hope that when it does the world will have outlawed war. However, that seems too much to look for.
From time immemorial oppressed peoples have risen and thrown off the yoke of bondage as they gained sufficient strength. Why white people are surprised when the colored races do this, we cannot understand.
We are glad that Africa is awakening. The day must come when we will feel a nearer bond of union and sympathy with our mother land. The Jew sympathizes with and helps in every way possible his brothers in Russia, why should he be indifferent to Africa?
We long for complete social, civil and political freedom, but do not consider that the condition of our people in Africa, the islands, and wherever else they may be is bound up with our own.
The white man is a white man the world over. The Negro is a Negro, and wherever he is must help his brother to rise.
We know that for everything the American Negro has suffered the African Negro has suffered ten-fold. As some one has said, "Every white man, woman and child in Africa could suffer the things they have caused defamationless Africans to suffer, and the debt would not be paid."
We do not need to feel ashamed of Africa. The Africans are a backward race, but the backward race of today is the advanced race of tomorrow. We know from what travelers tell us that the African natives have many lovable traits, that they are intelligent, kind and teachable. Before the commercial cruelty of the white man made its appearance there were vast areas inhabited by civilized natives, skilled in agriculture, boat making, cloth manufacture, iron work and many other arts necessary to civilized life.
So we say to Europe, "Don't overlook Africa, for the day will come when you will have her to reckon with." Either lift the oppression you have placed upon her, or prepare for a deadly combat such as you have never known before. Already they are warning you."
WILL Survey Negro Business
WASHINGTON.—An a special and needed feature of the coming session of the Negro Historical Society, a group of delegates, headed by Mr. S. W. Rutherford, of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and joined by Mr. W. Gomez, of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company; Prof. W. G. Pearson, noted educator; Mr. C. C. Paulding of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and other successful business men and merchants, will lay plans for a survey of Negro business in the United States. In view of the rapid rise of Negro business, it is thought that it would be particularly helpful to take an inventory of the assets, liabilities, problems, and practices of every unit and enterprise which is established under and manned by Negro business staffs. This inventory would later be available to prospectives who might, in a scientific way, desire to build up trade or clientele with the least possible chance of failure. "What to do, when to do and how to do," will be the ultimate purposes of the survey.

RIFFS PREPARE FOR THE GREAT DECISIVE BLOW
Regulars with Artillery Being Massed on the Front—Chiefs Hold Council of War—Captured Germans Said to Be Used as Instructors
FEZ. Aug. 29.—Developments of the day added to those of the last week furnish striking evidence that Abd-e-Krimei, worried by advances the French have been making and the threat of Franco-Spanish co-operation, is at last bringing his reserves of regular Rifflan troops and artillery into action. For the first time since the war bogan convoys of Rifflan artillery and munitions have been sighted in an advance in European style against the French front. They were seen together with important columns of troops in the region of Sheshun by French aviators.
While these concentrations are going on in the west the Riffians are also assembling in the east and north of Taza. Moreover, a large proportion of Riffians were found among the dead after the operation against the Braries. The bodies have been discovered of two Caldo, or subchiefs, of Abd-el-Krim's own tribe—the famous Bonei Ourlaghel, who form his supreme reserve.
To appreciate the importance of these facts it is necessary to keep in mind two things. "The first is that up to the present Abd-el-Krim has been fighting the French almost solely with their own tribes, whom he has roused to rebel. With rare exceptions he has sent only a few Riffians to the French front, and has used them there as officers to command the rebels, to direct the work of fortifying conquered territory or building roads and telephones and also to carry on propaganda. Not many of these had been found dead on the battlefields.
Secondly, Abhilal-Krim, who is known to have captured a large number of cannon and machine guns from the Spaniards and French hitherto, has kept them well hidden, making very spare use of them and never as battering, but only as isolated pieces. Two things militated against his employment of mass artillery—lack of roads and lack of trained gunners. He has been bustly building strategic roads since the outset of the war, and has made much headway in this direction. On the other hand, there have been (Continued on page 5)
"Horrible," Say Paris Papers; "Retaliation," Says Abd-el-Krim
(From the N. Y. Evening World)
A Senekambian soldier writing to the Berliner Tageblatt, a strange combination indeed, tells that the soldiers of Abd-E-Krim have brought about more desertions with their blandishments and coaxings with their frenzied attacks on the French posts. In the night they crawl right under the parapets of the colored French troops and hold out promises of abundance of fresh, cool milk and beautiful women if their opponents will only desert. If a French officer hears the tempting voices he generally snatches some hand grenades and tosses them into the night. But he may hear some sardonic laughter after the sound of the explosion has died away and know that he has missed his quarry. The effect on the troops is different.
Many of them, if not watched, will try to sneak away over the lines and get sent to the Riff hinterland. The Foreign Legion is the milieu of the French fighting units in Morocco at the present time. On this all correspondents and military reports are unanimous. That motley aggregation of soldiers of fortune is the most dependable regiment the French have. The strongest part of it is that the majority of its members are young Germans. The above-mentioned Germanian informs his Berlin readers that the Riff musketsry he is simply devastating. "They never fire a cartridge unless they are absolutely certain that it will bring down a man, while our troops are waiting tens and tens of ammunition shooting, quickly ablumely into the midst." The daily shooting ability of these Russians are especially painful for the French soldiers. Foreign soldiers have been brought over in that war, and when prisoners them and the men are taken they permanently burn the lives of the prisoners.

HOW THE BRITISH MAINTAIN SWAY OVER THE WEAK
Seven Die on Gallows for Killing of Sirdar Last November—Six Meet Death Stoically; One, a Prominent Lawyer, Struggles with Guards
CAIBO (Egypt). Aug 23.—Six murderers went to the scaffold here yesterday morning with smiling lips and an air of contemptuous indifference about their fate, while the seventh broke down and had to be dragged from his cell by two lusty warders. The men were paying the supreme penalty imposed on them for the murder of Sirdar Leo Stack here last November.
The last man, Shikik Mansour, prominent lawyer and member of the Egyptian Chamber of Deputies, whose role as revealed at the trial consisted in remaining, in the background and instigating and remunerating the actual murderers, did not bear up with the fatalistic fortitude of his comrades, however. After the guards had pinioned his arms to lead him from his cell, Shikik renewed his wild, struggles and actually burst his bonds in an effort to free himself.
His efforts availed nothin, however, for he fas rebound in a few seconds and placed on the trop door to await the Governor's signal to the hangman.
The eighth murderer received a last moment commutation of sentence for having confessed fully immediately after he fas arrested, thus greatly facilitating the apprehension of the others, by the authorities.
Hopes that Mahmoud Israel, believed to have been a big organizer of political crimes, might break his silence which he maintained throughout the trial and after his sentence probed illusory for Israel protested his entire innocence to the end and met his death with a smile, hurling a jest at the warders who were leading the men to the scaffold.
Brisbane's Comment
Commenting on the incident, Arthur Brisbane, America's most highly-salaried journalist, says:
"Seven men were hanged in Cairo last Saturday for murdering the British sirdar, Sir Lee Stack, governor-general of the Sudan.
"Of the seven hanged forty-minutes apart, to make the hanging more impressive, only one struggled against his fate.
"One asked. 'Have you boasted of killing twenty-five Englishmen?' said: 'No; it was thirty-five.'
"Another, as they put the rope around his neck, exclaimed. I did this
The Garvey Way Out
Rev. Bell, pastor of the Institutional Church, in West 130th street, New York city, has been traveling in Belgium, on his way to the Holy Land. At Marlaburg he was badly discriminated against in the dining room, for which the proprietor subsequently apologized. It gave Rev. Bell a glory outlook, as we find in a publication of his diary in his church organ, the Index. He says:
"We wear a despised race universally, France and South America excepted. Exploited, disrespected, despised; maltreated. An ugly atigma attaches to the entire race, a stigma experienced and felt by the very last one of us. Men of the other and, at present, dominant race take such nice pains to keep us reminded that we are, by their reckoning, an inherently inferior race—personas non grata. There is yet another month between me and my Eastern objective—Syria, Talesting and Egypt. Surely I shall find Asia and Africa more hospitable. Alas, for the white man's nasty egalism and pride, his false superiority complex! Lord, how long? A noble dream, Garvey's and a laudable ambition, whatever may be said about his modus operandi. Lord and Father, what is the solution? Their only knowest.
for God. He knows whether I am guilty or innocent.
"There is bitter hatred of British domination in Egypt, India, China and other places. But you observe that in the end the British have their way.
"In Egypt seven men are hanged, for killing one. Ghandi, who tried to upset British rule in India, was put in jail and kept there, the three hundred million Aslatiques ruled by a few British in India offering no resistance.
"The British empire knows how to rule other countries and other races. And it's about the only government that does know how."
He Left Out Something
Bristish, while he was on the job, might well have mentioned the progress which other nations are making in apping British methods of oppression of dark peoples. He could, for instance, have referred to Garvey, serving a five-year sentence in Georgia—the reward for his efforts to lift the Negro race to manhood status.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—State Department advises today that said that Whampoa cadota under radical leadership are in complete control of Canton and that the civil administration of that city is badly organized. Douglas Jankins, American Consul General at Canton, reported that there was occasional firing in Canton August 25 and 26, but ordinations "were fairly quiet on the 27th."
Gen. Hsu Chung Chl described as the leading Cantonese military figure connected with the radicals at Canton, was said to be supporting the cadet movement, but his allegiance was held doubtful.
"There is no indication of further fighting," the advises said, "unless Cantonese troops in the outlying districts attack.
"The Government at Canton now consists of a provisional commission of three, including Gulahal, Wu Cheng Chl, Wang Chue Ming and Gulahal Chu, commissioner of the Whampoa cadota."
In contrast to the Chinese situation, Lewis, Wendell, Ambrose, Cohen of Anson reported under date of August 10 that the repatriating ships were empty, and the industry was undeterred. The continued presence of "the United States military ships there was hard to bear."

Reviling Garvey Will Deceive No Thinking Person—Had Washington Failed, He Would Have Been "Traitor to His King"
Sorry Spectacle of "Protectors of the People" Wasting Energy Abusing and Fighting Each Other—Garvey, Like Gandhi, Pays
The following letter, written by Mr. H. C. Middett, of Newport, News, Va., is reprinted from the Norfolk Journal and Guide, a Negro newspaper, which, at the head of a frantic few, is trying to make Negroes believe Garvey, in his prison cell, has formed a diabolical alliance with a group of white men to drive the Negro holter-skelter out of America.
Editor Journal and Guide.
Dear Sir: With regard to your editorial of Aug. 13, 1925, 'Garvey's New Friends,' I wish to say that in my humble attempts to follow the principles advocated by Garvey, I have never been able to gather that he ever advised the wholesale deportation or emigration of American Negroes to Africa. What he does maintain is that we are in somewhat the position of two men overboard who attempt to maintain themselves on a board which will support only one; that strong racial prejudices exist where there is abundant room and resources for each; that in all probability the day will come when the population of this "land of the free and home of the brave" will reach the point of saturation a condition calculated to intensify present hatreeds and discriminations by reason of economic problems in addition to those of "race, color and previous condition of servitude."
In principle the things that come do ever conform to the things that have gone before. My pungy reasoning leaves me with the conclusion, that there are four eventualities which might possibly deliver. my people from a state of intolerable humiliation and comparative serfdom.
First, that all men will embrace the religion of Gallice.
Second, and third, that one of the races will drive the other out. Fourth, that miscegenation be practiced until all become a common people.

titable evil by the superior people of the period of its inception, has come far and accomplished things inconceivable except by the Intelligence of God; but our hour is not yet come. Heaven forbid the horrors of intercine strife which would ensue in an attempt to eject millions of people by force of arms. "Lives there a man with soul so dead," with spirit so mean, who so despauses, the handwork of God (himself) and who looks with contempt on the natural economy of the omnislent being who devised races, that he would barter his being and that of his posterity—who would merge the identity of his race into that of another for a mess of very doubtful pottage? The only alternative is gradually to seek and 'to find and to develop his own government.
In the formation of states, it is pledom that any people migrated as a whole. It has, never happened that colonists who were pioneers eager reaped the full benefits of their labor and pains; but nevertheless, "The wilderness wild they defied; they became of the forest a part."
Black men, why divide and waste energy fighting each other? If Garvey's principles are wrong, "ten angels swearing they are right will make no difference"; if they are right, the powers of earth and hell, combined will fail to keep them from fruition in due time.
Leaders of all great movements have been revered and cursed from time immemorial. Great causes have ever been chiefly fostered and made possible by the zeal of the common people. Moses is over zealous and fails to reach the Promised Land. Washington won and became the father of his country; also he had been a traitor to his king. Mahatma Ghandi works peacefully for his people and goes to jail. Garvey makes a technical blunder and goes to Atlanta. His brothers in black publish his shame on every hill top and blazon his humiliation on each signpost.
Is it to protect the people that all this noise is made? Why not censure men who sell out vast enterprises of the race, bought by their blood and tears; men whom in a few years become from their trust richer than the trust they are supposed to administer? The motives of all men and nations
the motives of all men and nations are on the knees of time anr time the great augur will one day answer. Respectfully, H. C. MIDGETT. Newport News, Va.
Census of Religions to Be Taken Next Year
WASHINGTON. — Next year the United States Government is going to take a religious census of the country. It is done every ten years, in the years, that end in "6" and the object is to learn how many men and women are church members; how many ministers there are; how many children are enrolled in the Sunday Schools; how much property the churches own. The census affords a valuable check on the progress or retrogression of the various denominations and sects.
To get the desired information, the Government, through the Bureau of the Census through the Department of Commerce, sends out two questionnaires. The first calls for data on the church itself, the second concerns the minister, printer or rabbit in charge of each congregation. The results of the latest religious census, taken in 1816, were published in two large volumes. The whole constitutes a compendium of economical information which may be extended in the larger directory of the country. The scope and expenence of the census of volunteers behind the late church will put him under scrutiny by W. W. Kling, going into details about the management structure of the church.
LIBERTY HALL AND HEADQUARTERS FOR NEW YORK
Monster Building to Be Erected on Site of Present Liberty Hall irr Near Future—To Include One. Hundred Apartments
Vice-President of the New York Local,
This is the proposed new "Liberty
Hull," to be constructed in the near
future, as the permanent home of the
New York division of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association.
Long had the idea of such a building
been in the minds of the officers and
members of the local, but the pressing
demands on the association that came
from its international needs made it
impossible to perfect the idea. But the
members have come to the point now
where they are going to see that this
monument to the memory of the work
done by our great leader, Hon. Marcus
Garvev, shall be built as the Mecca
of Negro liberty.
This nine-story building will have an auditorium fully ample to take care of the large throngs that visit Liberty Hall. It will be the largest auditorium in Harlem. These will also the apartments numbering upwards of one hundred, in which the members and their families will live. A large drill room, gymnasium, swimming pool, grill room, ballroom, a roof garden, an engineering workshop for the mechanical training of the Royal Engineers, offices for the various units of the division, a nursery and offices where the organzation will have its headquarters... and all the recreational facilities that go to make up a community center.
Some one said, when this picture was shown to the members, preparatory to getting the President General's approval. "That's what they should have done years ago. Built apartment houses." The time had not yet come to build apartment houses; the Negroes needed to be awakened universally and the only way that could be done was to have proceeded along the lines Marcus Garvey proceeded. The time has only now come to build in our various communities to further the program of the organization. It is now

Gentlemen:
My congratulations for your product Glant-Ox which is another triumph in the world. Glant-Ox in almost every case of run down systems with great success, both in Longevity and Glant-Ox famous in Vienna. Glant-Ox is winning prestige in every hospital. I am making mention of it in all my lectures. Your respects. Your praise. DR. JOHANN VON ZIMMER.
YOU HEAR MANY MEN AND WOMEN SAY:
"Oh, to possess, that buoyancy of youth, to feel the spirit of fun and make it happen. To feel the fires-of passion burning within my soul—the same as in the days of my budding, bubbling youth!"
These blessings that you once HAD can be FELT again by taking Glant-Ox. Glant-Ox is a gland tonic possessing all *4k4* necessary elements—such as glands, iron and glycopherophates with iron, and glycopherophates with *Chemical Balance* of the blood, and nervous glandular system.
The glands are the batteries of the entire nervous system. Medicines and drugs do NOT help or feed the glands as the scientists in the field have established fact that glands of the sheep and the ox contain the very elements, necessary for the glands of the human body. It recharges these small glands with oxygen and new strength into the very interior of all the muscles and blood corpuscles, giving new life—or in other words remake the body so as to give it the stamina to endure hard work and to give it the strength to fight other words a complete feeling of rejuvenation!
THE STARTLING EFFECT OF GLANT-OX
Arouses and stimulates normal gland function.
Builds tissues—enlobes the blood—strengthens the nerves—increases viper—clears confusion.
Honesty Refounded If It Fails
You will easily discover how this amazing gland preparation of builders' glands—the glands that give you that liveliness and glamour will give you that liveliness, buoyant spirit of youth, bright eye, a firm, elastic step, ray shimmer, the strength and endurance and lusty appetite of a rejuvenated system.
All you ask you to do is to take a deep breath and give it a shimmer. If after you breathe it, you don't feel like a new person and are not perfectly satisfied, the insurance price will be refunded.
No matter what your admiration to or how long you yourself may enjoy it to yourself, to my Great-Dan all.
Take a nice bath, pour your drops and or wash it off.

GREAT OUTPOURING OF PEOPLE PACK LIBERTY HALL TO CAPACITY
Increasing Enthusiasm for the Cause of the U. N. I. A. Is Witnessed at Every Meeting—Members Are Proving to the World That They Will Stick Together and Carry on Despite Absence of Leader—In All Parts of the Country People Are Rallying to Movement as Never Before
Miss DeMena Says Spirit of Garveyism Is Rampant Throughout All the Divisions—Tells of Visit to Hon. Marcus Garvey in Atlanta Penitentiary—Garvey Is Happy and Cheerful and Is Benefited in Health—Is Leading His People Even in Prison.
One Thousand U. N. I. A. Converts Are Made in Prison—Garvey Is Recognized As a Man with a Plan to Free the Negro Race.
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, August 30—Liberty Hall tonight witnessed another packed audience of members, and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association whose enthusiasm lowers the cause must be seen to be wholly appreciated. From far and near they come to this shrine of Negro liberty and enter into the spirit of the meeting with a zest that cannot be equaled by any other organized group of people. The followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have proved to the world that Negroes can stand together and whether or not their leader be imprisoned or dead they will carry on until the goal which they have set for themselves has been reached.
An unusually entertaining musical program preceded the speechmaking, the choir, the Universal Band and a male quartet coming in for several rounds of applause. The speakers were Miss M. L. T. DeMena and Hon. G. A. Weston, the chairman of the meeting. Miss DeMena electrified the audience with a delightful speech in which she told of the magnificent following which the organization had among the drytestors in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Norfolk and Richmond which she had visited in company with Mrs. Garvey. Everywhere she went, she said, the people are rallying to the cause in greater numbers than at any time in the history of the organization. She referred with especial pleasure to her visit to Hon. Marcus Garvey in the Atlanta penitentiary, and brought cheer to the hearts of everybody present when she said to Mr. Garvey was as happy in prison as out, and that, moreover, his health had benefited through his incarceration in that he had overcome, the nervousness with which he had been afflicted by virtue of the tremendous task and responsibility that developed upon him as

NEW LAMP BURNS 94% AIR
Beats Electric or Gas
A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. S. Government, and 35 leaders have recommended a superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise—no pumping up; is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil). O. W. Johnson, 642 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, is offering to send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial; or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it.

Following is a report of the speeches:
MRS DE MENA'S ADDRESS
Mrs. M. L. T De Mena spoke as follows: Mr. President, officers of the New York local, visiting friends and members. I have been out on the road, as you know. I left you a few weeks ago and went West to Chicago, ill, where my division is. I attended the opening of the convention there, and then I got a message from your chief and mine that he wanted me to travel on the road with Mrs. Garvey for the month of August. We started on the fourth of August and had our first meeting in Chicago. There was a tremendous crowd. The people all came out to see her, because they were longing to hear something of our President: General, the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Then we wout to Detroit, beautiful Detroit. I am telling you if the Universal Negro Improvement Association has a loyal membership, a membership that is sticking behind this program four square, it is the Detroit Division (Applause): My friends, Detroit rallied till they were packed in like sardines in that hall, and I can tell you it was good to be there. If the members of this beautiful quartet we have just heard could have seen Detroit Division in her beautiful arrau when the lady of this, great organization walked into that division, they would tell the world and sing to the world that Negroes in the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not running any more. The Lord told them to hurry seven years ago, and so they have turned their attention toward Africa.
Visit to Cleveland
We moved from Detroit and came to Cleveland, Ohio. We crossed from Detroit and left Mr. Johnson and Mr. Craigen and Mr. Smith. It is beautiful to see these officers pulling together just as one. They are not pulling against each other, they are united Johnson is president, Craigen is executive secretary and Smith is vice-president, and every time you go to the office you see all three. We came to Cleveland and there we met a house crowded to its utmost capacity. The people, were full of loyalty, full of love, full of the spirit of Garveyism. I don't mean a pretended, hypocritical Garveyism, but I mean a real, God-loving, law-abiding Garvey spirited people. In Cleveland they rallied to the call. They were pleased to hear the president's message as I read it. I could see the eyes and the faces as they lift up with boy; I could see these people as they longed for the truth of this movement; I could see them lifting up their heads, as it were, as they had never done before, so glad were they to get the message.
We left Cleveland the next day and went to Pittsburgh. There we met the little fighting Haynes. I can tell you he has beautified the Liberty Hall in
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1926
Pittsburgh. It is all beautifully painted. They were in their convention and they were very happy to see Mrs. Garvey. We spoke in the division to a crowded house and we were pleased indeed to see the spirit and the manner in which the people were standing back of their president, Mr. Haynes. Really it is good to have young men that are standing with the bulldog spirit in these divisions. They are standing for this program and the gates of hell cannot prevail.
We left Pittsburgh and came to Philadelphia. "There we met another fighting spirit, Mr. Toote. Talk about a man tooting his horn. Toote is tooting his horn down in Philadelphia. The division came out in full force and crowded the alley. There was not even standing room that night. We were extended a hearty welcome and here again the people were delighted to hear the message from the Hon. Marcel Garvey and rallied to a man. Everywhere we went, we found the spirit of Garveyism alive, and if you touch this movement now you have a fight coming to you you have never had before. If the enemies of the organization know what a good thing they did to this organization the day they put Marcel Garvey in jail, they would saw to the world. "Turn him out." Why? Because they have advertised him as never before to the world. They have spread his name and work upon a canopy that is reaching from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and all manner of men now are taking off their hats to Marcel Garvey. (Applause).
Mrs. Garvey at Washington
We went from there to Washington,
and the speech Mrs. Garvey made there
was good for every Negro to hear. I
am telling you she shegot the white people
told on the international question.
She told them that Marcus Garvey was
a man, he was putting the program before
the world and regardless of
whether he served five months or five
years in Atlanta the Universal Negro
Improvement Association will
improve on and when the comes, but
it will be a hot time.
We went a little further and reached Richmond, Virginia, and there we met white folks, the class of white folks that you thought would lunch you if you but looked at them. In our meeting there half the audience was white and believe me we gave them hell (Applauses). I told them that Negroes in this movement were not pussyfooting any more, we were not afraid of anybody we had a program of our own and all we wanted was a chance to put that program over, and if they thought we wanted to be white they had another thought coming. From there we went to Notfolk and thence to Atlanta and to the Pentituary.
With Garvey at Atlanta
We arrived at the penthouse at 10 o'clock in the morning. The man at the door recognized Mrs Garvey and after we went in he said the chide did not want to see us that morning but in the afternoon. Of course that was Marcus Garvey he referred to. I said, to myself. This sounds good for a penguinry." We went back to the hotel and returned in the afternoon. New the first thing Marcus Garvey pulled out to show us after he shook hands was a photograph of the magnificent parade the New York Local held in New York. He had it torn out of a paper, and he said, "Do you like it?" He presented it to his wife and to me and said, "It is fine." He smiled as I have never seen him smile before. He looked ten years younger than when he was here. He does not do this dabbing his mouth with a handkerchief any more. He need to be nervous, but he is not nervous any more. He looked fine. We stayed two hours and left him in very cheerful mood. He is indeed happy because he knows you, the people are carrying on. He knows that whether he lives or dies there will be someone sitting in the chair who can fill Liberty Hall as it is filled tonight, and victory is assured. And we can tell the rest to go where you belong. God as going in lead this movement, and as He told us to hurry, we have been hurrying ever since and will keep on hurrying until we reach the goal. (Appearance)
HON. G. A. WESTON SPEAKS
Hon. G. A. Weston was the next speaker. His talk, though brief, was inspired by the article which appeared recently in the New York World with reference to Marcus Garvey and his environments in the Atlanta prison.
Mr. Weston said that the writer referred to the fact that of the three thousand prisoners in Atlanta one-third

of them were Negroes. It was very encouraging to learn, said Mr. Weston, that the entire group of Negro prisoners looked upon Marcus Garvey as the outstanding figure among them and as a man who had struck upon a plan that will eventually emigrate the Negro race. Marcus Garvey even in fall has converted the Negro inmates to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and they are no longer concerned about their individual freedom but about the man who has in his mind the plan that will free the entire Negro race; it may not be, today nor tomorrow but those prisoners see that in the future Garvey's plan will eventually free the race from the thirrdom and overlordship of the white race.
Marcus Garvey's imprisonment, he continued, was only serving to organize Negroes more, and this was shown by the large audiences that have been consistently attending the meetings in Liberty Hall. There is only one thing for us to do, he said, and that is to stick to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and keep on fighting until the Red, Black and Green shall be planted on the hilltops of Africa and all Negrodom will be free.

Payment of Airplane Fares By Weight Predicted
Dr. Hugo Eckener, president of the famous Zeppelin works and pilot of the Los Angeles in her voyage from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, in a paper presented to the Royal Aeronautical Society of London, estimated that passengers on airship lines of the future would be charged £1 sterling per pound of flesh for a transatlantic journey, says the Detroit News.
Dr. Eckener anthologed a possible commercial service, based on the regular transatlantic service of three larger dirigibles. The approximate cost for each trip would be about $10,000, while the revenue from twenty-five to thirty passengers would be something like $50,000, from mails $15,000 and from barge and express $20,000, leaving a neat profit for the operating company. The fare for each passenger would be about $700.
African and West Indian Immigration Decreases
WASHINGTON—Only 791 native Africans emigrated to the United States during the year ended June 30, 1925, as compared with 12,243 during the year 1924. This is a decrease of 11,452. The number of African departures from this country, also showed a decrease, being 1,003 for the year 1925, as against 1,449 for 1924. West Indian immigrants also showed a marked drop in 1925 to 325, approximately one-seventh of 2,215, the 1924 total; and departures for 1925 were 346, as compared, with 422 for 1924. In all, the decline in African and West Indian immigration fell below the average sustained by the total for all foreign countries.
Enjoying as he does an annual income, of $3,000,000, the Maharajah of Kapurthala, one of the native Indian rulers, need not worry about the expenses that his approaching visit to New York will necessarily entail.

GAG PLACED ON EGYPT'S PRESS
British Seek to Suppress Liberty of Opinion in Egypt—Papers Protest Against Royal Decree
CAIRO. Aug 22 — A one-day suspension of publication of all Egyptian newspapers has been decided upon by their proprietors as a mark of protest against a royal decree just issued "for the more effective control of the press." Copies of the regulations drawn up in accordance with the decree also are being sent to the newspaper associations of the United States and Europe, invoking their support in the protest against the press law.
The degree emends that the publication of false news, even in the form of rumors, or of stories told or reported by third persons, as also the publication of articles, made up, falsified or unaptitively attributed to third persons when such news or articles are of a nature to disturb the public peace, shall be punished by imprisonment and excecled, suspicion, months or five, not exceeding a hundred Egyptian pounds. This punishment will be inflicted on the managers or editors, failing them, the writers of the articles, failing them the printers, and failing them, the distributors. Contamination may provoke suppression of the newspaper.
The publishers content that, in view of the fact that Parliament stands dissolved, a press law so widely drawn as to cover anything "of a nature to disturb the public peace" amounts to a complete suppression of liberty of opinion. The government already possesses fairly wide powers of control over the press, as was seen when the edition of "Al Ahram" a leading Arab newspaper, was deported some months ago.
The Egyptian newspapers, in addition to the Arabic journals some of which have circulations, excluding widely over the Arab, include journals published in French, English and other European languages.

U. N. I. A. AT CRICKET-ON SUNDAY IN BROOKLYN
Mayor Hylan Attends Game and, Flaying Governor Smith, Asks for Support
There were great dotings at Commercial Field, Brooklyn, on Sunday, August 30, when a U. N. J. A. team engaged the St. Vincent C. C. in a game of cricket. The event was well attended, hundreds of people from New York and Brooklyn paying 50 cents admission to the enclosure. The U. N. J. A. band was in attendance and discoursed sweet music during the afternoon.
The game resulted in a win for the St. Vincent C. C. who replied with a score of 117 for six crickets to the small total of 40 runs made by the U. N. J. A. eleven.
Invited to throw, the opening bill of the game, Mayor John F. Hylan was not present at the beginning of the game owing to a previous engagement, but Mr. William H. Cokely, who is running for President of the Board of Aldermen on the Hylan itellet, deputized, explaining that the Mayor would attend later in the day.
The U. N. L. A. tram had been damned and spectators and players were enjoying the interval when Mayor Hylan and party arrived. Introduced by Mr. George A. Weston, vice-president of the New York Division, he was warmly cheered by the throng and in a neat speech spoke of the fight in which he is now engaged in seizing renomination by the people for the mayoralty office.
Under his regime, he said, he had always driven to serve the interests of all the people without discrimination and without regard to race, color or creed. This policy would be continued if he won in the forthcoming elections. He referred in seething terms to Governor Smith, who, he said, had injected himself into the city elections, his (now Smith's) am being led it over the state, over Tammany, over the city and over the whole Democratic party. Senator Walker, he declared, was only Smith's dummy.
A photograph of the mayor at bar was taken after which his party left.

Two Members of Virgin Council Make Brilliant Statement—Eloquent Addresses by Chairman Holstein, Rev. Barrow and Dr. Holstein—Splendid Music
There was an overflow, mass meeting, under the direction of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, at Renaissance Hall, in New York, Sunday afternoon last, to restate the case of the Islanders and to petition the President and Congress for redress of wrongs. Under the Danish flag the people enjoyed splendid privileges of citizenship, with a large measure of self-government, but since the United States purchased the Islands the people have been governed by a Naval administrator and his advisors and have been denied any of the benefits of self-determination and government, and the interests of the country have so far declined as to impoverish and discourage the people.
Mr. Louis A. Jeppe was introduced by Mr. Carper Holstein, President of the Virgin Islands, Congressional Council, in a brief but illuminating address, as presiding officer of the meeting. Mr. Jeppe sounded the keynote, subtitled, "Prophecy to Face Homeward," after the touching invocation by Rev. R. G. Barrow, Th. D.D. Other addresses were delivered by Hon. Jean B. Hestres and Hon. Halvor V. Berg, members of the Virgin Islands Council, and by Dr. Hubert Harrison. Virgin Islands band rendered a music. Two soprano solos by Marie Barrier-Houston were enriched, and tichly deserved to be. Lester Alcester Archer recited a sonic child," with much artistic and emotional effect, and was generously applauded.
There was a proprietary interest and enthusiasm in the work of the Congressional Council met with wonderful success and many of the speakers submitted and donation of Presidency to the dedication by Rev. Purser, whose service on Unity of Purpose was one of the hits of the meeting.
Among persons present were Bishop Alexander Mottleford, Roxon Congregational Church of Washington two members of the City Club The League and T Thimbley Executive Officer of The Negro World League.
for twenty-five cents a day. The language of Liberia is English. It is a country for young men, and any of the colored people who wish to go there from America to live will be heartily welcomed and given grants of land to cultivate." Marcus Garvey and those identified with him would not be received, Mr. Barclay declared. In spite of the hostile attitude of Liberia towards Mr. Garvey and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we still wish Liberia and the Liberian people well, and we hope, that in the liberal concessions of lands and other valuable fights to the Firestone Rubber Company the liberties of Liberia have not been bartered away; and we further hope that the extensive developments which the Firestone Company will undertake of its priceless concessions will bring about an economic condition which will enable "strong, healthy men" to earn more than twenty-five cents a day. As long as they can earn no more Liberia itself cannot be a strong, healthy country, nor produce strong, healthy people. Cheap labor makes cheap people, and cheap people make a cheap nation.
MOSLEM WOMEN THE BASIS OF MOSLEM WEAKNESS
N one of his masterful dissertations' the late Dr. Edward Wilmor Blyden, of West Africa, set up the contention that the Christian
marriage laws were not adapted to the African and Oriental peoples, because men and women mature earlier in those countries and plurality of wives is necessary because of the greater number of women over men. In like manner, marriages are contracted without consulting the wishes of the two most directly concerned, and the Moslem never sees his bride before the wedding. Divorce is easy and rests almost entirely with the man, and without much formality. Plurality of wives and the harem go hand in hand and work destruction of such family life if we have in Christian countries.
After two years of what appeared to have been a perfect marriage relation, Ghazi Mustapha Kemal-Pasha, president of the Turkish Republic, surprised Europe and America by diverging off-hand, without going into explanations, his young and beautiful wife, Latifie Hahum, one of the most accomplished and progressive women of the age, and who had helped her husband to reform many of the restrictions placed upon women under the Moslem laws and customs. Familiar with the freedom of women in Europe, and educated in the schools of Europe, Madame Kemal and her husband appeared to be working together for the larger freedom of Turkish women when the announcement of the divorce was made. Alphonse Tonietti, writing in the New York World, says:
Having abolished the Sultanate and with it the notorious Imperial harem, the Caliphate, the Islamic courts and the religious schools, Mustapha Kemal Pasha has now availed him self of a practice which the intelligentsia of Islam had considered a thing of the past. At least he should be the last man to resort to divorcement!
As a matter of fact there is now being framed by a parliamentary committee a statute for the virtual abolition of divorce. It provides that only when a man has no heirs, with the consent of his wife and by a special decree from the judge of a civil court, polygamy may be resorted to. In that case the first wife may be retained or divorced, if she so chooses. This bill will come before the next session of the Turkish National Assembly. Is it likely that Mustapha Kemal took this timely step for fear of being subjected to such a law when passed?
This abrupt ending, another case of Napoleon and Josephine as Latifan Humhurn herself termed it recently, has stirred the imagination of Oriental feminists. It is recalled that Latifan Humm met her gallant under highly glamorous circumstances; that he has encouraged her "up-to-date" ways, and that he has been a radical where the rights of women were concerned.
Strange that he should find it impossible to get along with a modernist wife! European society is inclined to regard this as a case of "sex atavism," intimating below the thin coat of new-fangled veneer there ranks the ancient conservatism and passionate jealousy of the Oriental lover who cannot bear to see his lady-love mix freely with his male compere.
We consider this question of the marriage relation of the very greatest importance, and we regard the marriage and divorce laws and customs of Moslem, or Mohammedism, as the cankerous roots of evil that eat out the life of the people of Asia and Africa. Early marriages, and marriages contracted by the parents, or guardians, without consulting the wishes of the young people, with a money consideration generally understood, makes for the physical and mental weakness of the offspring, as a matter of course, with the question of sentiment and congenial companionship wiped out of consideration, a mercenary aspect attaching to the whole business, while the plurality of wives and the Harem life makes for destruction of the family life, as we understand it, with the elements of jealousy and discord always present.
No people can get anywhere who disregard the family life; with the one husband and the one wife and observance of proper responsibility and care of the children. People are not animals; they are humans. In their sex relations they remain people as long as they observe the standards of the family life and keep the animal standards in subjection to the law of decency and responsibility. No race can be healthy and strong without a healthy and strong family life. Moslem women are the basis of Moslem weakness instead of strength.

MR. GARVEY IS NOT DISCOURAGED
IT is not a reflection on human intelligence because every group of five or more needs a leader; needs a person who knows what the group wants and has the ability and the courage to labor most efficiently to get it. As long as the leader has the confidence of those he leads there is hope. Even Moses, however, lost his temper and threw down the tablets on which had been written the ten commandments when he came down from the mountain and found that the people had got tired and discouraged and had begun to desert the God of Israel. This was given as a sign. If such a leader as Moses could become discouraged at the inconstancy of the people we should not be surprised if other leaders, not sustained by the Lord as Moses was, should become discouraged:
Nearly every man who has striven to better the lot of mankind has had to fight against the disposition of some of his followers to doubt his wisdom and courage and to seek to displace him in his leadership. This sort of disposition is often very hard to overcome, and often destroys the leader and the followers alike. Talking about this important question in his front page article in The Negro World last week, President-General Marcus Garvey, among other things, said: "So selfish is human nature that rights cannot be had for the here asking. They must be won by toil, struggle and effort. The members of the U. N. I. A. understand this. They have added splendidly; they have answered every call. Today, through their efforts and loyalty, we have become a real force reckoned with all over the world. We have had fights; we have had misunderstandings; we have had setbacks. But we have always been stepping stones to greatness, and we have need to feel discouraged. I am not discouraged. I cannot be discouraged, because I see more and more every day the spreading force and increasing influence and power of the
matter of time. We must not expect to win such
creature in a day. The time is still before us and we are
repairing us splendidly against the time when victory will
come to us. The U. N. I. A. has not only made its presence felt,
but also helped to create respect for the race at large, but
it has helped to make men, to make other organizations and
organizations known that would never have been known but for
the efforts and the propaganda of the U. N. I. A."
If the leader is not discouraged why should the followers be? If
they are both satisfied with the good work already accomplished,
and are aware of the determination to continue the good work, it
stands to reason that the good work will go on and prosper as it is
doing and as it has done. In union there is always strength. And,
because of this there is strength in the Universal Negro Improvement
Association strength in its splendid membership to seek in
all horizons always to make the most of their social, civil and economic
travels and to help Africans to redeem and save Africa for Africa.
The leader is not discouraged. The membership is not discouraged. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is bound, therefore, to continue to grow in strength and influence.
It is truly said that so few of the people of our race group think. Of course, no one believes that individuals do not think, but we suppose what is meant by not thinking is the fact that we do not think constructively. We do not think materially and unselfishly—Newport News Star.
CHEAP LABOR MAKES CHEAP MEN
THERE is no escape from the fact that cheap labor makes cheap men and that cheap men make a cheap nation. Those people and countries are strongest and most prosperous where labor receives the highest wages, as in the United States. In European countries wages have reached the lowest level where people can have enough to live on in order to produce more, this condition having been devastated by the devastations of the World War. In all Atlantic countries, including Japan, China and India, wages are at the starvation point, and the people starve while they live and labor. It is a bit better in Japan than in its immediate neighbors, but it is bad enough in all conscience. In Africa the Europeans have reduced, white and black labor to the lowest point, and work for the most part is hard to get. It is different with the native Africans, who have developed no systematic industries, their barter and sale being of the most primitive character, much as it is among the North American Indians.
When we feel like taking a chance, we gamble, a nureture loser. When we lose one, we reason that all chances are foolish. Yet around us each day, the business world is continually taking chances, with here and an outstanding conqueror and many hoping to be the business men catch the spirit and communicate it to all our race—Kansas City Call.
Past is past and present is present and near the twain shall meet—St. Louis Argus.
What is needed are men and women for leadership who have been prified in the great school of experience, and have not been spotted; who are capable of thinking for themselves; who have pride and courage that will force them to be just and hospet with their own; who can see both sides of the problem of life and have learned to give and take with other men; men and women who have intelligence and three strengths to direct energy in that the future may get, as here, its share in the success of the enterprise. Change Himself.
Just a small passage is in order to help themselves just that they are well. The success of the future of them will be determined by the present.
Bon. Edwin Barclay, Secretary of State for Liberia, has been country long time and, it is announced, has perfected the laws which have been in progress for some time between New Fribourne Tire Company and the Liberian government, on the rubber company, a $100,000,000 corporation, is given a lot of 1,000,000 acres of land for the growing of rubber and management. What the Liberian government receives for the land has not been stated. It has been stated in the public of the Fribourne Company, through a commission of its own, will control the amount of Liberia. We do not believe with this, if it should provoke to it, we will mean the transference of property to our subsidiary corporation, Mr. Frugilev, with the purpose, among other things, of opening it to the
of a partisan political program that has not done them, the institution they head, nor the race any good. On the other hand thoughtlessness and selfishness on their part have caused the institution to fall in its effort to put over its program, and have weakened the influence of the head. —Louisville Leader.
One of the weakest points in the economy of race building, is the Negro's lack in effective organization. He is very active in destroying, but not so active in construction. It does not take intelligence to destroy, any ignorant man or people can destroy in a short while the results of the study and the accumulations of the best brains for years. We are individualists rather than unionists. We act too much for ourselves and not enough for, the race. —Atlanta Independent.
That there is abroad a spirit wide and deep among our people relative to education, is not only platyten seen and felt, but it is significant. It speaks volumes for the future of the race. If it were confined to a few leaders as has been largely true of the past, it would not mean so much. But now the masses have caught the infection of education, and from near and far news comes of the groundwell of settlement. To contemplate the situation is to make one good. No situation could be made more necessary to the more empathetic energies that must be wove or compelled into stepping our people together in the stages of the war. If the war be won, that means that our war will be in the proper form that possible it should continue in the same form.
Consciousness And Racial Prejudice Found in All Races
By HERBERT ADOLPHUS-MILLER
In The Nation.
The white race has been trying to exploit and despise Asia, and at the same time to put over the Christian religion. The result is a growing opposition to Christian missionaries. In the last few years I have found that my Chinese students, whose whole lives have been spent under Christian influences, are saying with great vigor that they wish the missionaries would stay at home. In India there is little doubt that, with the rise of Gandhi and the Nationalist movement, there will be a constantly decreasing influence of Christianity. In Japan the Buddhists are taking on the methods of the Y. M. C. A. and pushing Buddhism. Socialists who represent the exploited class are making socialism their religion and poking fun at the religion of the exploiting classes.
The Negro has not yet found for himself a defensive religion. There is undoubtedly much less respect than formerly for white Christians, and a cult seems to be developing rapidly, among young Negroes that repudiate religion. There are a good many followers of Bahism, and some increase in the tendency 'to go into the Roman Catholic Church. It may be that, if Gandhi is defended, the coloured races will look to their ancestors for guidance in the imposition of a white divinity. This is in process, and it is not us easy to prophecy what will be the particular religious symbolism adopted as that there will be one of some kind.
Although less fundamental than religion, language, e is more intimate. Since it is impossible for groups to be isolated from one another without developing languages or dialects, when they come in contact the dominant one tries to impose its language. But to be deprived of one's language voluntarily is an invasion of personality, hence everywhere one finds complete disregard of convenience and economic advantage-when language is in danger. The Irish are stenotypically trying to substitute their own ancient language for the English, which was imposed on them. Middle Europe is and long has been, a seething struggle to retain languages which are of small extent, but whose loss would take away self-respect.
A lowly individual may, brag about his vices, but a lowly group will look to its accomplishments, and so we have the vicarious appropriation of the merit of heroes. The Jews make a good case for themselves. Negroes are growing in dignity and self-respect as the list of their eminent personalities is extended. The same tendency is evident among women.
After all is said about the common unreasoning basis of, prejudices toward the Jews and the Negroes, for example—there seems to be some evidence that Jews have higher intelligence quotients. There may be an explanation of this apparent inherent difference. Professor Newell L. Sims in his recent book, "Occlety and its Surprise" shows that progress is dependent on the accumulation of surpluses of various sorts. He says:
Psychically considered, surplusage connotes chiefly foresight, origination and inventive ability, and the power of abstract reasoning and speculative thought. . . . Tradition surplus . . . embraces all of human achievement—invention, discovery, art, science, philosophy, literature and music. The Jew worked out a method of making up for the deficiencies of his physical and social life by attention to his spiritual life, and he accumulated a great deal of psychical and traditional surplusage. As possibilities for more complete general development open to him there is serious danger that his special contribution may diminish. Some Jewish writers believe that unless Zionism can serve as a substitute for what has kept the Jewish consciousness awake, the world lose much.
The Negro has no such surpluses. He has no tradition about books, but the very reverse. He may even read or hear that Negroes are supposed to have inferior mental ability; this serves as an inhibition rather than a stimulant. The mother will keep her children out, of school Monday morning to gather the wash and Thursday afternoon to deliver it, because school has no organized meaning in her traditions. The Negro needs to accumulate this sort of cultural surplus before he is compelled mentally with the Jew. I have tried to show various ways in which racial esotism may account for prejudices and for apparent race characteristics. The question of race has three aspects: the attitudes races have toward one another; the attitudes they have toward themselves; and finally, the inherent differences there may be between them. It is clear—after we have explained the first two with the knowledge now available—that what may be left of the third will bear little relation to anything now called the "race problem."
Many parents who are putting their young people through college are skeptical, wishing to reflect to that the bill for more money are paid. They may wonder how they may afford the present young student admitted at the present scale of education.
The costs involved in college teaching are mostly necessary. Teachers must be well paid. Columbus board and rope are not very high, because the teachers were impatient by giving him instruction.
At the time given on, young people will have to earn a good sum of money for education. It is important to help problem to encourage girls, which would not work for boys.

WASHING IS NOT ENOUGH
When there is reason for using a
thermometer in your Home remember
that you must disinfect it at once be-
fore replacing it in the case.
Disinfecting a thermometer before
use and not after use is safe for the
patient, but is not suitable for one who
is fastidious enough to see the un-
cleanliness of the habit of inserting an
apparatus. In a case, if the
responsible should not be able to
use the apparatus when next it is
needed, someone who does not realize
that it needs it may use it without
disinfection.
Plain washing under the faucet is
not sufficient.
Thermometers have been carefully
tested and it is found that in order to
kill the germ, harmless or harmful, as
they may lie, that have collected upon
the stick. It is essential that they be
immersed in a liquid which is strong
enough to kill them all.
Thirty seconds exposure to water is not enough and three minutes exposure is not sufficient, and wiping with a dry clean towel does not remove the germs. If hot water and strong soap sups were used it might do the trick, but why bother with all that fussing when you might have a small bottle deep enough to take the thermometer filled with some known antiseptic? Some of the *permides* which might be used in that disinfecting bottle are: 5 per cent. solution of carbolic acid; 10 per cent. solution of formalin; 1 per cent. solution of lysol; 60 or 70 per cent. solution of alcohol. (It is a curious fact that absolute alcohol so-called "pure alcohol" is not capable of killing germs so efficiently as is alcohol which is diluted with water to 60 per cent. or 70 per cent.) Let the used thermometer stand in the solution until used again, if there is a patient in the house who requires the taking of the temperature at regular intervals.
In handling a thermometer, a physician you can accept his directions regarding his treatment and the time necessary for its disinfection.
The Red Cloud in Morocco Baffles White Cloud in Europe
By W. P. CRESSON
Georgetown School of Foreign Service
Whatever may be the outcome of the war so dramatically attacked by Abdul-Krim and his triumphs, its surprising lessons are not likely to be lost upon those responsible for the future military and colonial policies of the great powers. The struggle is anum-lif, in many unexpected ways, the aspect of p. well developed and grimly humorous, paradox.
In challenging the overwhelming military strength of France, this desert sheikh has apparently established the fact that even the best equipped army in Europe can be seriously hampered by warlike conditions wherein all the progress made in the art of killing our fellows that marked the titanic struggle of the world war are nullified by an unfavorable terrain and a lack of military objectives. Moreover, a brief review of the reactions of the foreign press shows the present situation, perhaps unfortunately, dims the picture drawn by pacifist writers concerning the immediate catastrophic effects of "scientific war." The war of aircraft "darkening the sky" and "despopulating" vast areas of enemy territory are either strangely absent or also held in reserve for more notable occasions. Even such notable experts on military air tactics as our own Colonel Drigga have been impelled to come forward with "explanations." Their answer is, of course, obvious.
The most terrible weapons of modern warfare have been evolved, corporea and terrify highly advanced, and therefore, highly centralized and urban civilizations. From these terrorors the Sirian tribesmen are more or less derisively immune.
It is, therefore, perhaps a little unfair of Abd-el-Krim to resort in turn to the highly modern weapon of "propaganda." Unquestionably guided by European sympathisers the Rifian chieftain has not only adopted an exceedingly adroit policy of moral sabotage towards the pacified natives of the French zone of Influence in Morocco, but also appears to have reached out across the Mediterranean in a surprisingly effectual campaign aimed at throwing difficulties in the way of his enemies through an appeal to "European public opinion."
With consummate skill his has allowed himself to be "interviewed", by enterprising journalists concerning his intentions and the policies of the Riffan "nation" he pretends to represent. The connections he has established in the French parliament, notably among the communists of the extreme left, are causing far more anxiety to the French authorities than the minor success of the guerrilla warfare for which his tribal levies are so admirably organised. The outstanding success of this reductible barbarian has. Hereover, not been lost upon the discontented millions of other European empires, both in northern Africa and farther Asia.
In this respect the path of the great powers imbued with a sense of their "avilizing mission," even those whose military prognosis had to gain, has not grown another show the world war.
It is growing evident that imperialism, commercial and political, is taking a reinforcement of political values that justify war to lower and narrow utterance of several intentions.
The policy of General appeasement these relations manifestation will inevitably collapse of hope and strong impatience given by the cognition of the human experience, from the human nature.
Virgin Islands Deserve
A Permanent Government
Former Judge Malmin of the District Court of the Virgin Islands has arrived to place before President Coolidge the destiny of the islands for citizenship and a permanent civil government. The islands are still administered under the act of March 1917, for a casual "temporary government." This vests all civil, judicial and military powers in a governor appointed by the President. Every President has named a naval officer, and the naval administration from the beginning has been criticized as aloof, hostile to free speech and arbitrary in its methods. Like the Porto Ricaans for many years, the Virgin Islands have an anomalous civil status. Nearly all of them speak English; they owe allegiance to the American flag. Yet when they go abroad they cannot claim American citizenship. The 20,000 Virgin Islands resident in the United States cannot vote here, and when they try to take out citizenship papers are told they are not aliens.
The Virgin Islands, after eight years of American occupation, deserve a permanent government. They should have a delegate to look after their interests in Congress, and an extension of the franchise, which is restricted by a relatively high property qualification. Neither the Negroes, who are 80 percent of the whole population, nor the whites wish autonomy as yet. But a trust-territorial government, or the attachment of the islands to Porto Rico—which many islanders suggest as an alternative—would furnish an increasing measure of self-government. It would also assure some attention to their urgent economic needs, for poverty is widespread. We should not have bought the islands from Denmark simply to forget them.
New Yorkers' Incomes Lead All the Others
Lead All the Others
The people of New York State received 45 percent of the total current income of the country in 1919, 1920 and 1921, according to a study which has been made by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
New York leads the list of States and Nevada is at the bottom. In Nevada the people received only one tenth of 1 percent of the total income.
In all three years the District of Columbia had a larger proportion of its population "sustainably employed" and a higher per capita income for the "entire population" than any of the forty-eight States. The per capita income in New York for 1921 on the basis of the entire population was $921.

NEGRO CUSTOMS OFFICIAL INDICTED BY RUM JURY
Charged, with Sheriff and Thirty-two Others, with Conspiring to Transport Liquor from Havana to New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27 (A. D.)—Walter L. Cohen, "Nero, Comptroller of the, Customs for the New, Orleans District; Dr. L. A. Mervaux, Sheriff of St. Bernard parish, and thirty-two others, including Alonzo Patterson and Arthur Battistella, alleged heads of a gigantic rum ring, were indicted by the Federal Grand Jury here today on charges of conspiring to violate the National Prohibition Act.
The indictment specifies a single instance in which it is charged that Cohen, Sheriff Mervaux and the thirty-two others conspired to transport 4,500 cases of liquor from Havana, Cuba, to New Orleans between June 1 and Aug. 10.
Cohen is involved by allegations he was consulted by head of the run running copolymer on the movements of customs craft; that he advised when and how it would be "safe" to transport liquor from the Cohen Capital into the United States.
That the principals involved believed they were buying "protection" for three tractors and intended to be charged that $10,000 was paid to Patrick Neetham, a Prohibition agent with the understanding it was to be turned over to O. D. Jackson, Federal Prohibition Director for Louisiana.
This money, officals said, was collected by Neetham, who was operating under instruction to accept such payments and being held as evidence.
Appointed by Harding Over Protest in Congress.
Walter L. Colin has been a home in Louisiana Republican politics for more than thirty years, and became nationally known in November, 1922, when President Harding appointed him Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, upon the promise of the Louisiana Senators. Although New Orleans lost

large numbers of desertsers who have joined him from the Spanish and French foreign legions, especially Germans, who are capable either of being artillerymen and machine gunners or training the Riffians. Many of these Germans, though privates in the legion, were officers in the German army.
Remarkable Accuracy of Artillery
Abdul-Krishan has been using these Germans to train his troops. Some rebel trenches and charges captured are exact duplicates of those the Germans used in France, in some instances when Riffians in units as large as a company have attacked the French they maneuvered in Europe style, even advancing, on the assault and taking cover on orders given by a whistle. Twice men in European clothes have been seen giving these orders and directing the maneuvers. Moreover, Riffian artillery fire lives increased remarkably in accuracy if not in quantity.
Having saved his reserves of artillery as well as his regular troops for the crisis which now confronts him, Abel-Krim is beginning to unminder the full strength of his forces, as was demonstrated by the bombardment of the Spanish island in Alhuasen Bay and recent movements, against the French. It remains to be seen whether his artillery will be of much value against the French, who, of course, are vastly superior and whose bombardment of the Brames is reported to have wrought veritable carriage.
At the present moment, Abd-el-Krim is rushing reinforcements in the regions of Adiyah and Sheshum, as it is in that direction, that the anticipates danger of conplained Frames-Spanish attacks. His brother, Sidi Mohammed, a graduate of the Madrid Engineering College and the best Ralfan General, has established headquarters at Sheshum, where he is following the example of Petama's big war council at Fez holding one of his own, with all the chiefs of trues in this region participating in the discussions.
Criticism that the French in throwing a whole army corps against the Tsouls and Behnoe were swarming with a blonde hammer have brought the answer that the burglar used was intended for the shattered joses and the importance of the re-
hold the post in previous Republican Administrations, the Senate refused to confirm the appointment, and the joses were given a recess appointment.
When President Coolidge took office, he also appointed Cohen, giving him a reserve appointment when the Senate rejected him. The Senate re-recognized and confirmed Cohen, March 17, 1924.
The fight against Cohen was resolved last October when a suit to remove him was brought in Federal Court on the ground that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution ever had been properly ratified and that Cohen that date was not a citizen.

Written and rendered by Miss Mary Clark, "Oh Africa, Awaken" was sung by the choir, followed by a very melodious saxophone solo by Mrs Hunt. A talk from one of our ex-members, in the person of Mr. Dustin, was very brief, but right to the point and suited the occasion, "Where He Leads Me" was then sung, after which we were favored with the reading of the President-General's message, by the Secretary, Mr. Inman. Sounding prayer for the Honorable Marcus Garvey was then called for. Praysers were offered that the prison doors might be opened, and prayers that President Coolidge's mind and heart would be touched were sent up. Current topics by Prof. A.

DETROIT, MICH.
Detroit Division staged an indication mass meeting on Tuesday, August 25, in protest of the wilful killing of John Henry Panky (colored) by Patrolman Seward Lusk (white). Every nego minister and citizen of Detroit was invited to attend this meeting as a protest against the promiscuous killing of Necropsy by men who are supposed to uphold law and order. Mr Panky was killed during a parade staged by the U. N. I. A. of Detroit Division on Sunday, August 2.
More than fifteen hundred Negro citizens gathered at Turner's Hall to hear the true facts of this terrible murder. The first speaker, Hon Fred E. Johnson, said, "I get mad when I see a white man come among Negroes and try to destroy the virtue and the morality of our Negro women and girls. We are not satisfied when officers can come into our midst and murder our people. The U. N. A. has not given the Police Department any trouble either, before we goose my administration, and we are not satisfied with the wrongs and murders committed by the patrolmen of the police force. We are not in America because we want to see, we are here, because the white race brought us here again our will. If God spurs us to put this program over we will go when we carpe, but not be force."
Hon J. A. Graisen said. I was made for the killing of birds, they can be killed only in season. But the Negro can be killed spring summer fall or winter—just any time the white man desires.
"The chour and the hand rendered selections, after which a liberal offering was taken. I was a minute addressed by Capt. Clark of Chicago Division, Rev. G. W. Hurley and Mr. W. H. Robinson. Attorney Julian Rogers, proxy for the Mayor, said. "It is allogether fitting and proper that we should have this meeting. I am glad to belong to this great organization, which stands for right and protest against the wrongs done Negroes by the opposite race."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1925
CINCINNATI, OHIO
---
On Sunday, August 16, the Universal African Legion, Motor Corps and Black Cross Nurses journeyed to Indianapolis to stage a parade. One car was chartered to take the units to Indianapolis. We took advantage of the excursion, hence the fare, was reasonable. Sir Wm. Ware was to have taken charge of the parade, but on account of being called away he could not attend. The train departed at 2 a.m. and returned at 10 p.m. The day was very fine, which made the trip enjoyable. The parade moved at 1 p.m. headed by two policemen on motorcycles, followed by an automobile, in which was Mr. Lewis, president of the Indianapolis division. Then came the bark, followed by Lieut. Col E. R. E. Gilles, first N. Y. U. A.-L. and executive secretary of Cincinnati division, who was in command of the parade. The regimental staff and the colors followed. Major, Alum Washington, who is in command of the Cincinnati Legions, along with Lieut. Walter King, followed with their companies, and gave an excellent military exhibition. The unit followed. The motor corps, with its leader, Lieut. Lillie Jones, the Black Cross Nurses, with stretcher and ambulance, commanded by Mrs. Gouche, and the choir, in command of Lieut. Herron.
Next in line were the members with slogans, as "A Home in Africa for Negroes," "God Save Africa," "Long Live Amegela," and others. The parade lasted two hours. The line of march was too much for the motor corps and nurses, as some fainted owing to the intense heat. As a result the original line of march was shortened. We returned to the hall, at which a meeting was held. The principal speaker was Mr. Gilkes, who outlined the purpose of the meeting and congratulated the members for their loyalty at this critical time when the enemies of the race are endeavoring to overthrow the organization. He said that the imprisonment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey did not require the organization oneota, but, on the contrary, boasted it. Some Negroes who were not in sympathy with the organization, but, since the incarceration of our leader, their sentiments toward the organization have undergone a change. Mr. Gilkes played with the members to continue their support.
The program was as follows. Song
by the choir, remarks by Messrs
Smith, Grundy, E. Gikes, Leight Hayes,

9,000 Census Takers Start State Task
An army of 9,000 men and women started yesterday on their two weeks' task of taking the State census. It is the first time women have ever been intrusted with even part of the task. The work of organizing the force of census enumerators was directed by Mrs. Florence E. S. Knappe, the first woman to fill the office of Secretary of State.
The last State census taken in 1915 showed there were 5,047,221 persons in New York City. The Federal census taken in 1920 showed a population of 5,620,045. Because of the immigration laws the present census is not expected to show as large an increase.
This year the census takers will ask each person thirteen questions, including the type and place of the naturalization of aliens.
Census workers are paid $3 a day and two cents a name. The average is from 150 to 200 names a day, notting each enumerator $5 to $11 a day.

Meanwhile, reports arrived here that Bulgarian bands were planning an invasion of Macedonia in the hope of forcing the League of Nations to discuss again the question of Macedonian minorities.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
THE CAUSE OF THE CHINESE TROUBLE
A. Morocco is holding her own against aggression and oppression, even so China is waging a similar fight for freedom of action in her own country. The most powerful nations of Europe have gone through the world plundering the lands of the darker peoples, but these weak peoples are gathering strength through organization and enlightenment through education and racial contact; therefore the European marauder is having a hot time at his old time game and in a few years will be driven back into his own territory, leaving Africa and Asia to work out their own destiny. Col. Alexander Powell, a traveler of wide experience in Asia, sums up the attitude of the European powers toward China, in his book "Asia at the Crossroads" as follows:
"We have witnessed one of the most brazen examples of international brigandage in the history of the world. In less than fourscore years we have seen China, a country as large as Europe, with a civilization extending back into the mists of antiquity, rified of territory and resources by a handful of predatory nations with as little compunction as a gang of lawless boys would raid a farmer's orchard. We have seen this vast, rich, peaceable, defenseless country bullied, intimidated, reduced to a state of virtual vassalage, and parceled out in spheres of influence, leases obtained under duress, and enforced concessions by methods which, in their effrontery and callousness, are reminiscent of the freebooters of the Spanish Main. The story of the pillage of China is saturated with intrigue and corruption, deceit and trickery, selfishness and greed. It forms one of the most shameful and depressing chapters in the history of our times and makes a mockery of Europe's sanctimonious championship of justice and fair dealing."
It is said that once in the parks of Shanghai, the Europeans displayed signs such as this, Chinese and Dogs Are Not Attmitted." This reminds of the Southern States of this country where the same brutal and unfair motives cause the white man to post this sign: "Niggers and Dogs Not Allowed Here." The white European is the same at heart racially as the American white man, although at times the exigencies of the moment demand that they show their prejudices in slightly different ways. But the time has come when yellow, black and brown races are determined to measure up to the high calling of the Creator, and for this purpose they unite, feeling that God made them higher than the animals; in fact he made all mankind alike. The white man has stepped ahead within the last few centuries, but he has done so by foul means, and the Almighty Umpire has disqualified him. We see that exemplified in the crumbling of empires, and in his decaying civilization. It remains to be seen whether black, yellow or brown will take the lead and guide the world righteously and well.
The Chinese are now conscious of their potentialities. As the Chinaman see it, "the Occident would cajole them with the Bible in one hand and threaten them with the gun in the other—not to save China's soul but to fill an imperial purse." Therefore having unmasked the white hypocrite he is determined to throw him out as China should be governed by Chinese, and we, the Negroes of the world, are in sympathy with the Chinese, as we expect them to be in sympathy with us in our struggle to redeem Africa.
A MILLION UNEMPLOYED IN ENGLAND
While the King's Parties Cost $500,000
Per Season
LONDON, Aug. 29 — Despite their campaign of rigid economy, King George and Queen Mary are being compelled to spend about $500,000 on entertainments this season between May and August to keep up appearances. "Much of this expense is caused by state bureaus and balls at which King George's special chinamphe served in jugs filled with gold bids bearing the royal monogram, flows freely. The $500,000 spent on the entertainments does not include personal expenses for clothes and the like. Queen Mary is not an extravagant dresser and by no means lives up to the pleasing fiction that she never wears a dress twice. Continuably, she frequently wears the same dress two or three times in a week, but she has to keep a stock of nearly 500 gowns, suits and frocks in her wardrobes.

Are the Children Physically Fit for School?
By MARIAN ARVINE COLEMAN
M. D.
A vacation is on its last lap and
mothers are thinking of school and all
the little things that the kiddies will
need, such as new clothes, new satchels,
etc. Even the children catch the spirit
of "preparedness" and begin to look
about for their school possessions.
But there is another phase of preparedness for school that I would like to talk about now. This concerns physical pre-education. Our children cannot do good work in school unless their bodies are in A No. 1 condition. First of all, the teeth must be carefully looked after. Cavities must be filled, acid conditions removed., and decayed teeth extracted. Disease gums lodge in decayed teeth and are frequently the cause of sore throat, stomach troubles, headaches and other disturbances. If acid concretions about the teeth are allowed to remain, pus will form. The child absorbs put through the system and in consequence is always alling, when not ill with tonsillitis and other itches. How can a child study and keep up with his class when he feels just as tired in the morning as he did when he went to bed? His body is full of poison and this makes him feel tired, with no desire for food and no ambition to do any kind of work.
Next, see if there are present any diseased tonsils and adenoids. If so, have these removed before school begins. This will prevent attacks of tonsillitis and diphtheria and keep the child in school. Tonsillitis and toothache are two great factors in keeping the children-home from school and increasing the "absent list."
And then the eyes. How important they are in preparedness for schools. Have them examined. If the child needs glasses or a change of glasses, attend to it before school begins. Don't wait for headaches, eye strain, styes and all the other things that make a child feel disinclined to study or to get up in the morning and go to school:
If a child is well and goes to bed early enough he ought to be glad to get up and go to school.
Last, but by no means least, come the feet. Are the child's arches in good condition? Are the feet free from corns and callousities? Be sure the shoes fit properly and insure comfort.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1925
Saturday morning, January 31, I saw the sun rise at 7.25 A.M. The sky was clear and the weather much warmer. We spent most of the day on deck, watching the porpoises play and race ahead of the ship. It seemed as though they would never tire. Large schools of fish passed.
Sunday mornings we spent on deck sunning ourselves. After dinner we returned to the deck for devotional services. Dr. Carter read the prayer. Mr. Fred E. Johnson, president of the Detroit Division, prescheduled the sermon, subject, "The Pilot," "Captain, grew and all passengers attended. It was a very impressive service. At 4 p.m. the signal was given for fire drill. We went to our staterooms, procured our life preservers and made our way as quickly as possible to the lifeboats. They were made ready to lower, and those placed in position. This was very interesting to me, as I had never seen anything of the kind before.
Monday, February 2, 1923. I arrive at 6 a.m. when I reached deck I was surprised to see land. I was told it was the east coast of Florida. As we looked through our glasses it was a beautiful sight. The trees were so green, and we could distinguish many buildings, also the lighthouse. After a short while Miami was pointed out. We were so near we could see the automobiles passing. We could see the coast line of Florida all day. The next morning about 10 a.m. we sighted that island our glasses, and at 12 noon we sailed into the beautiful harbor of Hawaii, Cuba. On our left boomed Morro Bay, with its fortress. After a short while the doctor came aboard, looked over the passengers and crew, gave the captain the necessary papers and departed. The passengers went ashore after lunch to see the city. The buildings are of Spanish architecture and look very formidable, with their barred windows. The streets are very narrow. There are many beautiful park and stores.
During the afternoon we visited the U.N. L. A. hall, where we were entertained by a committee of bakers and gentlemen of the division after which we returned to the ship to prepare for the evening meeting.
The night meeting was poorly attended, owing to our delay in reaching Havana and also because of the false proposals in the newspapers. Commissioner Dutcher made arrangements for our meetings and assisted the local officers in every way to make our meetings a success. The officers all spoke and worked very hard to secure loans for the ship. During our stay in Havana many influential Cubans visited the ship and expressed their pleasure that we brought the ship to Havana.
An embargo was placed on the ship for a debt of the "Black Star Line". We were delayed for several hours. The matter being settled to the satisfaction, of all, we continued our journey to Kingston, Jamaica, taking several passengers from Havana with us.
Slightly Irregular
One of the questions put to a class of rural adults was: "In the sentence, 'The bird flew over the house, is flew a regular or an irregular verb?' This proved a sticker for the class, but small-bean man ventured an answer. Said he, 'If the bird that flew over the house was a wild goose, it went in a straight, regular line, so the verb is regular; but, if it was a wood-pecker than it went in a crooked, zigzag line, and so the verb is irregular. All but the grammar-bound examiner were satisfied with this optional explanation—Boston Transcript.
Women Run Newspapers
The first number of the first women's paper published in Turkey has just appeared in Constantinople. Its editor is Mine. Nezhiz. Moubiddine, and gathered about her are some of the most accomplished women in Turkey—the unveiled progressive women, who have been inspired by the example of their sisters in other countries.
Miss Inga L. Larusdottir is the only woman editor in Iceland. She edits the one women's paper in that little country. It is published under the unusual title of "The 19th of June," because its first issue appeared on June 19, 1915, to celebrate the enfranchisement of women in Iceland.

FACE BEAUTIFIER
News that Mustapha Kenal, president of Turkey, has divorced his ultramodern wife, Latife Hanooum, focused the attention of the world once more upon the institutions of marriage and divorce what is left of the Ottoman empire.
The reasons given for the divorce are Latife Hanooum's feminist ideas and political activities. Can it be that Kenal Fash's professed desire to have women of modern Turkey participate on an equal basis with men in the life of the country is ingenuous? Has living with a feminist made the Turkish President a believer in the old status of women? There are interesting questions for speculation.
But the mere fact that the leader of New Turkey has disbanded his wife according to time-honored custom, and particularly because he believes she is too modern and anxious to play a main part in the world, should be potentential evidence that Turkey still has a long road to travel before century-old customs are abolished. Just because women in Constantinople and some of the more advanced Turkish cities are appearing on the street without the veil does not mean that they have achieved a freedom of action equal to the privileges of their Western sisters. Their going and coming in public is still connected by eponym. Few families, for instance, even in Constantinople, would permit their Daughters to mingle with men to the extent that is conventional in non-Muslim countries.
Legal Positions. Radically Changed
Legal Institutions Actually Changed
As a matter of fact, something may be said for a degree of freedom imposed by the women of Turkey that does not prey among some people who consider themselves more advanced. The statement is almost proverbial that a woman might cross Anatolia, penetrate the most out of the way and backward districts, and feel safe from modernization. The Turks further and say that if she should be amused it would not be by one of their men but by a European. Such a condition is a challenge to some Western countries.
Probably never before in history has the local position of women been so quickly and so radically changed as has been the case in new Turkey. However, breaking of laws is often totally ineffective in changing old and deeply rooted institutions. This seems to be a true marriage and divorce there. Laws regulating them have been profoundly altered, but except in a few cities, such as Constantinople and Milan, the real status of women seems to be very much what it was in the days of the Sultan-Caliphs.
Marriages and Divorce
Today, in the villages of Turkey, marriages do not differ greatly from the old form, except that instead of depending upon proxies, the bride and bridegroom themselves appear before a

This is a very infectious disease caused one in which the person affected ought to be as carefully isolated as in any of the other contagious diseases. This is difficult when the illness is prolonged and the person feels well and is able to do a good deal of active work, but so long as there is active disease in the lung and the pathological report of the epumour is positive then the person ought to be considered infectious and a source of danger to his or her friends, especially children. Everything coming in contact with the person should be disinfected and all equipment should be humilized.
Infection is most frequently spread through the excretion, and this is comparatively harmless until it is dry. Then it is spread in the air, in the form of dust which is full of the germs of the disease. A person suffering from this disease should not kiss anyone. Feeding and fresh air are the two great essentials in the disease. After a long case of tuberculosis of the lungs the mattress and pillows should be fumigated thoroughly, or else destroyed.
UNITED STATES CLUB
WOMEN IN LONDON
DRAW COLOR LINE
Hard on the heels of the tempest that raged in Washington, D. C., over the admission of colored women to the International School of Washington, cedes the announcement that the American Women's Club of London has decided to draw the color line.
At the last business meeting of the club the following amendment to the constitution was moved and carried: "That only women of the white race be admitted to any kind of membership in the American Women's Club of London." This was a modification of the amendment as originally offered reading: "That colored women cannot be admitted to any kind of membership in the American Women's Club of London." The modification sounds better, perhaps, but as a matter of fact it is even more exhilarative than the original.
The reason for the amendment in any form wks be use the London organization has become the rallying point not only for all women of American citizenship, past or present, now living in England, but for overseas visitors from affiliated clubs in America. Especially the many City Clubs. Now the City Clubs, being largely political, accept colored members. This, the American women living in London, felt they could not do. They must draw the line somewhere, they said and they preferred to draw it at poles.
No Negro woman who lives abroad this summer or her father unless the amendment be re-amended will be welcome at No. 16 Grovesman Street, formerly the million-dollar residence of the former Sir Edgar Speyer and now the magnificent new home of the American Women's Club.
No matter how good the standing of the Negro woman may be at her own City Club in the United States, she will be unable to cross the orate threshold of the disgrace Street manzan. No more can a red-skinned squaw nor an Eumaeus woman cross it. Nor a Philippine matron, nor a family version of the heathen Chinese. Most of the American women high in the councils of the American Women's Club in London, are either from our own South or represent sections of American society in sympathy with the South.
Viscountess Avery, the club's Fourth Vice-President, is from Virginia. Viscountess Mardisione from Philadelphia, is Chairman of the Philanthropic Committee. The Hon. Lady Ward (daughter of the late Ambassador Reid), is Second Vice-President, Mrs. Horton Lee Washington (whose name is quite sufficient to indicate her sentiments), is Chairman of the Maternity Ward Committee. Indeed, most of the American women now living in London who are merely members of the club seem Southern in their sympathies, for the vote that carried the amendment to exclude all women of color was unanimous.

Iry 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, Justrous 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.

local justice. Marriage is no longer a religious but a civil rite. Divorce, previously pronounced by a kadi, or religious Judge, is now pronounced by a civil Judge. Mustapha Kamil, as Chief magistrate of Turkey, pronounced 'his own divorce.' Under the old regime a man could divorce his wife, a great number of charges; a few sheep or a few pounds of sugar as a gift to the kadi was all that was necessary in order that a decree might be obtained.
At present the legal grounds for divorce, although not yet definitely legislated, are supposed to be similar to those in Western India, but the civil judges are told to be as acceptable to gifts as were the old kadi. In Kandiah, where people have a primitive tribal life, the divorce ceremony consists in the husbands throwing five stones over his head and saying to his wife: "In the name of Allah, I divorce thee."
Due to the long years of war the female population of Turkey greatly outnumbered the army. In some provinces it is estimated that there are five women to one man. Therefore, although polyomyia is now illegal, it is still practiced among the agricultural inhabitants, where women are locked up as beasts of burden. But among the intellectuals the number of bachelors is increasing. Where the wife is not a producer the modern Turkish hesitates to marry, since the economic situation of the country makes it difficult for him to support even himself. Lifetime Hanahin sponsored a law making marriage compulsory for all males. But was not passed. The so-called emancipated Turkish woman finds herself in a difficult position. Japonic I of the older and protection given her under the old regime she has not as yet either the training or the opportunity for successfully making her way under the altered conditions.

Reminiscences of a Friend
*Friend of my health. There is a bond between us time can never lose. Hand often clasped we wandered down through girlhood's adolescent years, sharing our dreams and hopes and speaking heart to heart—each sensing that the one would prove trustworthy of all confidence the other would give. When happy changing years, through schooldays with their fun and frolic shared, had passed, "heau days" bring naught but the remembrance. So hint of joylessness, not pettiness of any sort marts those sweet memories of our dear girlhood days.
Fate intervened, as years passed on, and set our steps apart. Each down a different way we went. Though time has taken toll and changed the contour of our forms and faces, has dimmed the lastity of our eyes and touched with frost our hair, still heart to heart, in thought, our faith and loyalty have spanned the years, and though we seldom meet we keep in touch and find that memories are ever sweet.
Fate may decree that future years shall hold us far apart, yet always will my love for you, and sleep apnea prevention of your friendship, warm my heart, friend of my youth.

Universal Negro Improvement Association $50,000
Every loyal Negro should donate to the Fund to help the Greatest Negro Organization in the World.
All donations will be acknowledged in this paper, and donations of Five Dollars and more by letter.
The Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, now makes an appeal to its members, divisions, branches, chapters and friends to rally to its support in helping to raise Fifty Thousand Dollars by the 31st of August for liquidating urgent demands on the Association for the promotion of its work.
The expense of running the Organization for the good of the race is tremendous. Expansion work must be done and current demands must be taken care of. The fight for Africa'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 $5.00 let us have it immediately. Those who can give us $10, $25 or $50 will be gratefully thanked for their patriotism and loyalty.
Persons sending us $25.00 or more should send us their photographs for insertion in this paper. All donations should be sent to Chancellor, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City.
Loyal members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should give entertainments among their friends at home to raise money for this fund. Those who desire to do so should write to Acting President General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, for sealed authority and collecting list to avoid misunderstanding.
LONDON, Eng.—London, being a very old city, is full of places of historic interest. The city proper dates back to before the Christian era. Readers of history will recall that the Romans built a fine city on the site that had been occupied by the Celts, the aborigines, and called it. Londinum. Abundant evidence of the Roman occupation, may be seen in the Guildhall Museum, the British Museum, and in the names of streets. The city has been twice destroyed, once, in the time of the Romans, by Boadicea, queen of the Iceni, a native tribe, and later by the great fire of 1665.
Because there are so many interesting places one could write about, I must limit this article to a description, necessarily sketty, of some of the places most attractive to the tourist.
First in interest, perhaps, is Westminster Abbey, an impressive structure bearing the stamp of great age, and dating back to 960 A. D. This, however, applies to only a part of the building, as the abbey is the growth of centuries. The inside of the abbey, with its tall pillars, corroding with age, its lofty Gothic arches, innumerable statuary, marvellously decorated windows and cunningly carved woodwork, is an awe-inspiring sight. In this sanctuary are buried many of England's earlier monarchs and, in later years, most of her great men. Darwin sleeps peacefully here in spite of the storm now raging over evolution.
Of especial interest to Negroes the world over will be the tombs of David Livingstone, the great missionary, and William Wilberforce, one of slavery's greatest foes.
For nearly a thousand years the monarchs of England have been crowned in the abbey. The coronation chair is a most ordinary looking bit of furniture. One not knowing its history would hesitate offering $2 for it. Still, its priceless. Built in the bottom of the chair is the famous stone of Soneon on which the Scotch kings were formerly crowned, and which was stolen from them in 1297 A. D. To my great astonishment I noted that this famed chair had been cut all over by tourists or boys until it looks like a parkhench Many of the very old marble effigies on the tombs are similarly cut.
Houses of Parliament
Across the way from the abbey is Westminster Palace, in which are the two Houses of Parliament, the Royal Gallery, the King's Robing Chamber
and Westminster Hall. Westminster Palace is a marvel of Gothic architecture and grace, which is particularly striking and impressive when viewed at night from Westminster Bridge. Here the Thames, beside which it is built, permits a clear view. At either end are classic towers, on one of which is Big Ben, whose majestic booming can be heard for miles at night. The inside of the palace is a scene of beauty—the richest imaginable. Herein seems to be centered all the dignity and pomp of empire. Finely proportioned, richly painted windows, deeply carved paneling, magnificent pictures and sculpture, elaborate roofs with massive beams and sculptured, ornaments strike the eye. Most striking of all is the House of Lords, in which stands the throne, glowing with gold and colors.
Another rendezvous of the tourist is the Tower of London, a grim, time-stained fortress beside the Thames, not far from London Bridge. The tower is also very old, dating back to William the Conqueror (1065 AD). Many noted figures have been held prisoners within its walls, among them Sir Walter Kiteleigh, founder of Virginia, and the introducer of tobacco in England. In the courtyard a table marks the spot, where Henry VIII chopped off the heads of two of his wives.
Crown Jewels
The most striking feature of the tower is in the Wakefield Tower where it is displayed the Crown jewels of England. Such a scene of wealth and magnificence as I had believed existed only in the tale of Addinid. Cross filled with precious jewels, and heavily embossed swords and maces, all of purest gold, line the walls while in the centre behind a heavy grill is a spill grander sight of fashing diamonds, gleaming pearls, and glittering golden emblems. Two of the most striking of these are the Imperial State Crown, in the centre of which glaws an enormous ruby. This crown also contains 285 diamonds, one of which is out from the famous Cullinan and weighs 309 carats. It has also 297 pearls, 2 saphires, 56 brillants, and 52 rose diamonds. The other, the Imperial State Crown of George V, has 6120 diamonds and other gems, half as many Septimers, coronets, bracelets, baptismal fonts, and, emblems of knighthood, to form a scene of splendor and richness beyond compare. No wonder that Burcher, co-worker with Wellington, conqueror of Napoleon, exclaimed when he saw London's "God, what art to loot!"
In the Tower of London is also the

armory with a specimen of almost every weapon of offense and defense known to man. The entire basement is filled with weapons captured by British soldiers. In the wars they have waged in almost every corner of the globe.
The British Museum
The latter is a grim building of severe Grecian architecture, blackened by almost a century of London air, the grimiest on earth. The museum lacks the handsomeness, inside and out-of the Metropolitan Museum on Fifth Avenue. Its collection is more original, notably among which are the Rosetta stone, the key to most of our knowledge of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian rooms contain nine originals of some of the ancient Negro and Negred kingdoms of Egypt as Rameses II, Ammenhatep III, Thotmies III, Senusret III, and Usertsen I. In another room are the famous Bronzes of Benin, all the work of the people of Benin, West Africa. These bronzes give the lid direct to those who assert that the native African is not capable of high artistic feeling.
The library of the museum is a drab looking circular hall with a great dome, lacking the palatial beauty of the Congressional Library. However, it is one of the most nearly complete in existence, and is the mega for scholars from all the ends of the earth. To enter this library a card of admission is necessary.
And so I could go on naming place after place of interest, as St. Paul's Cathedral, now undergoing extensive repairs: the Crystal Palace, Buckingham Palace, the Museum of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, the homes of Byron, Shakespeare, Carlyle Huxley, Trafalgar Square, Petticoat Lane with its Sunday tale, Limlhouse, with its Chinese—simultaneously, race of earth lives in London and lives peacefully—the National Portrait Gallery and so on would space permit.
No description of London, however, would be complete without mention of Hyde Park. Here, near the Marble Arch entrance, nearly every creed and sect in London gather to expound their views. Catholics aged, anti-Catholics, Protestant and anti-Protestant, Communists and their foes the Fascists, Socialists and anti-Socialists, Christadelphians, Agnostics, Hudus, Nognoz, Jews, Parsees, and the exponents of a dozen freak faiths are holding forth at full blast, while coping all is the singing of the Salvation Army. To understand the paper DAYSSESSION is necessary, to know that all this is in a space less than two hundred yards square.
The most interesting fact for the philosopher is the manner in which these opposing creeds hold forth, giving the impression that to each and each only is revealed the mind of God. A great crowd hovers around the spot, and Cupid gets hit in by using it as a place where the girls come in large numbers to meet the red-coated soldier; and get a beat for the evening. I said "the girls come," for this is a land of surplus women.
My guest article will deal with some
place on the continent, perhaps Paris.
In the New York Herald Tribune,
Aug. 27
A remarkable voice was heard last night at the Lewisham Stadium. Its possessor was Marian Anderson, a young Negro contralto, who was the only singer chosen from about 300 candidates in the auditions held last June. She appeared as soloist last night before what was estimated as the third largest Stadium audience of the summer. About 7,500, with a good-sized Negro contingent included in this band of enthusiasts.
Miss Anderson sang "O mio Fernando," from Donatella's "La Favorita," with the Phtharmonic Orchestra, under Willem van Hoochstraten's direction, and a group of spirituals with another Negro virtuoso, William King, at the piano. He also accompanied her in three encores.
Miss Anderson is from Philadelphia and a pupil of Guiseppe Boghetti. Last night's was not her first appearance here. She had given a recital at Town Hall on April 25, 1924, but that had hinted little at the astonishing vocal powers displayed by the young singer last night. The present reviewer, on that occasion, had animadverted on a powerful voice of true contralto quality, in need of some further development, but it had hardly seemed then the voice in a thousand—or shall we try ten thousand or a hundred thousand?—that it appeared to be last night.
A notable feature in Miss Anderson's singing was its entire naturalness; all that she had to do, apparently, was to sing, without any need of apparent effort to fill the Stadium spaces. In high and low notes, there was a full, rich quality that carried far, the singer had no more trouble, it seemed, in singing at the Stadium than in singing at Acolonial Hall, but seemed more at

A storm of applause followed the Donzetti number, very memoriously sung, and Miss Anderson offered Terry's. The Answer" as an encore-But expressively, she seemed most at home in the three spiruals scheduled for her second appearance... Harry, T. Burleigh's "Deep River" and "Heaven" and J. Rosamond Johnson's "Song of the Heart," in a performance characterized by what might be called expressive simplicity. As encounters, songs by Liza Lehmann and R. Huntington Woodman followed.
And while Miss Anderson's singing was remarkable as it was, and showed marked progress over the 1224 recital and even over the June auditions, she has still room for further progress. There seemed a slight hint of roughness in some of her lower notes, a certain pitch in her upper register where there was a little premio, one place marked by the harsher timbre which has mostly been banished from her voice, while there also seems room for development in interpretation. But, after some further study, Miss Anderson should merit a prominent place among singers in active service; she can make a striking impression now; but should not take the plunge into intensive concert work too soon.
Mr Can Hoongstraten began the program with a short war march. On 57.

British Commonwealth Of Nations Threatens Life of Great Britain
How rapidly the countries composing the British Commonwealth of Nations—a far more descriptive title than British Empire—are drifting, toward a new relationship with one another is disclosed by such remarks as those of Sir Robert Borden at Williamstown. The former Prime Minister of Canada made it clear that while nobody can predict the precise changes which will take place, the tendency is toward a new status for the self-governing dominions, amounting to nothing less than equal partnership with the United Kingdom in all matters affecting the common interest. That tendency has long been apparent, and the question of how to establish such an equal partnership has been much debated. Lord Mitter argued that it would be impossible without covering the existing relations of the dominions with the home government. That conclusion Sir Robert Triggs lightly said and the
"I pay little heed to the voices that occasionally predict the disintegration of the Commonwealth and the establishment of separate nations. Canada could question that status tomorrow if her people so desired, but such desire is wholly wanting."
"The implication of that last sentence obviously is that the present status exists not at the pleasure of the British Empire but at that of its constituent States. If Canada and Australia, for example, can attain independence at any time they wish, it is manifest that they can attain any other status short of independence they may desire. The question, therefore, is not what the Imperial Government ought to concede to them but what they will insist upon taking as their right from the Imperial Government.
Manifestly one of the things they are going to require is full voice and vote in imperial decisions relating to peace and war. Canada, if Dr. Duncan McArthur, of Queens University, correctly understands the public opinion of his country, wishes such participation in imperial policy as would prevent the empire from engaging in a war in which Canada, as a nation "could not voluntarily associate itself." Such an arrangement would amount to to give power its against the Imperial Government in some of the most important international affairs. If any of the principal units of the empire could prevent a war "with which it could not voluntarily associate itself." It is clear that a foreign policy which might result in war would require the unanimous approval of the governments concerned. If that does not mean full and equal partnership, it means something extremely like it.
As to the ways by which the new
relationships are to be brought about there is no present agreement. The proposal, widely discussed in England, to modify the existing status of Governors-General is coldly received in Canada. The idea is to appoint a Governor-General because of his diplomatic qualifications so that in addition to being the personal representative of the King, he may also serve as High Commissioner from the Imperial Government. Against this Sir Robert raises the natural objection that the present relations of the Canadian Government with the Vivierian are satisfactory, whereas the proposed plan would almost certainly lead in Canada to misunderstandings and suspicions of Downing Street influence.
By a not unusual turn of events it may be well that the force of circumstances will dictate a solution. If each of the chief units is to maintain its own bureaucracy of foreign relations—a thing now regarded as not improbable—there will have to be some means whereby they can be closely coordinated.
Already the Irish Free State has its Minister at Washington. Canada has long considered the advisability of direct diplomatic intercourse with the United States. In time both Australia and South Africa may desire similar representation. Australia is already discussing the subject seriously. But before these four could deal satisfactorily with the United States—to say nothing of the British Ambassador—it would be necessary for them to establish their individual and collective responsibilities. Clearly this could not be settled among themselves.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, corn oil is waste products now yield about its useful commodity, including such items as axle grease and turn powder, shoe heels, and chair cushions, cigarette holders and gun powder, pucee and punk, phonograph records and shaving soap, shoe horns and varnish. The list in its entirety ranges from absorbents of nitrosyl-irine in the manufacture of dynamite to xylos, a kind of sugar. The value of the corn crop to the American farmer, the Department of Agriculture says, is greater, than the value of any other crop grown in the country.—C. P. B.

La libertad y la educación
Los pajaros, los animales y los hombres han nacido con una inteligencia activa que busca su libertad. Esa actividad que traen consigo busca su mundo de libertad para su propia educación. También tienen ellos su actividad en las relaciones naturales de simpatia. Tienen igualmente su actividad de alma que trata de encontrar la ocasion de crear, el mundo para si misma, mundo de libertad. Estos son los tres hechos que debemos decorder en nuestros esfuerzos para educar a los niños. Este entendimiento activo no debe contrariarse por la constante imposición exterior; ese sentimineto activo no debe restringirse con las obstrucciones antipáticas en las afinidades, y la voluntad creadora activa no debe dejarse que degenere en pasividad por el deseo de oportunidad.
Lucha en buena lid por el enaltecimiento de la raza—
Ignoremos la tactica maliciosa de los iscariotes—Satis-
facción experimentada en el cumplimiento del deber—
Patronicemos el ideal progresista del imperio africano
—Con suplicas y ruegos nada realizaremos; el esfuerzo
tenaz en la contienda se verá coronado con el triufo
Al iniciarse esta institución en su vida de organización
siete años ha, los pesimistas de la raza opinaban que
intentabamos realizar lo imposible. Hoy dia representa el
sentimiento de la gran mayoría de los cuatrocientos mil-
ones de etiópicos diseminados por el globo. Ella pone de
manifiesto las aspiraciones del negro contemporaneo, quien
intenta a todo trance abrirse paso en el camino hacia su
absoluta independencia para, disfrutar de la satisfacción
del hombre dueño de sí mismo.
Libertad de intelegencia, libertad de sentimiento, y libertad de voluntad. Sólo por la libertad el hombre puede alcanzar su completo desarrollo, y cuando restringimos esa libertad significa que abrigamos algún propósito determinado que queremos imponer al niño, y no recordamos el propósito de la naturaleza de dar al niño todo su crecimiento. Cuando deseamos obtener más hojas del árbol, tratamos de cultivarlo modo de privarlo, de su vigor para producir flores y frutos, y entonces toda su energia puede utilizarse en la producción de hojas, pero tal no es la vida completa del árbol. Si tenemos un propósito manifiesto en nuestras instituciones educativas que han de producirse en los niños, hombres patriotas, hombres prácticos, soldados, banqueros, seria necesario entonces ponerlos bajo el engranaje mecánica de la obediencia y de la disciplina; pero esa no es la plenitud de la vida ni la plenitud de la humanidad. El que sabe que el propósito de la naturaleza es hacer del niño un hombre completo cuando crezea, completo en todas sus aspectos, mentalmente, y mayor especialidad, espiritualmente, el que comprende esto coloca al niño en la atmósfera de libertad. Por desgracias, tenemos la debilidad humana, tenemos nuestro amor al poder, y algunos maestros, muchos maestros de escuela, tienen ese amor innato a la autoridad de si mismos, y tienen ese campo preparado para ejercitarla sobre los miserables niños.
Nuestra institución no tiene que dar explicaciones ni satisfacciones a blancos o amarillos; ella atiende exclusivamente a sus propios asuntos en cuanto a nuestra raza concierne, cuyo punto sobresaliente es la adquisición del sitio adecuado, donde la raza tenga la amplia oportunidad de desarrollarse, en un sentido general. Tal sitio, un área de doce millones de millas cuadradas denominado Africa, ha sido seleccionado por el hecho de ser la cuna, madre patria de nuestros antepasados, donde la Naturaleza les habia designado su verdadero hogar.
El hombre blanco por mas de trescientos años y para su propia conveniencia, inculcó en el sentimiento de nuestra raza ciero grado de reproche hacia la tierra de nuestro origen; por mas de doscientos cincenta años nos redujo a esclavitud y servidumbre, al cabo de los cuales y por incuenta años consecutivos nos hemos conformados con su maliciosa dirección. Afortunadamente el negro del presente tiene mejor concepción de lo que el realmente es y de lo que por sus propios esfuerzos puede realizar; tiene el pleno conocimiento de que Africa es el continente con mas riqueza natural en el universo; sabe que ella es el motivo principal de las grandes controversias, entre los tal llamados pueblos civilizados.
Cincuenta años, repetimos, han transcurrido desde la abolición de aquella bochornosa esclavitud en Norte America; ochenta años han transcurrido desde la emancipación de aquella denigrada servidumbre en el archipielago antillano. Durante dicho periodo de reconstrucción social, nuestro elemento ha adquirido grandes conocimientos en el voluminoso libro, de la experiencia, y notamos que si en oriente surge un blanco 6 un amarillo experto en artes 6 en ciencia, en occidente surge también un descendiente de Etiopia con las mismas dotes, y así mismo en los varios campos del saber humano. Todo esto nos lleva al convencimiento de que si el hombre blanco puede dirigir hombres blancos, el hombre negro facultado en tal sentido puede también encarrier inteligentemente hacia el mejoramiento a los elementos de su raza.
Los maestros que se jactan de su disciplina han nació tiaranos, como muchos homíbres, y para dar suela a sus innatos sentimientos de tiranía usan es niños desvalidos y les imponen su código de comportamiento. Tratan de triturar sus mentes con trabajos sin interés, con tareas mecánicas, que destruyen el entendimiento y la frescura de la inteligencia. Imponen toda clase de torturas, porque es tiaranos se complacen a la vista del dolor, y nunca pueden aleanzar tan ancho campo para ejercerlo como en sus posiciones escolares. Por lo tanto, con mucha frecuencia los tiaranos materiales se hacen maestros de escuela, y es una desgracia para los niños. No sólo hay esto, sino grandes perjuicios a la humanidad. Es gente que por su vocación debería ser verduro, guardia de carceles o algo por el estilo, cae no se sabe como en su obra, en calidad de maestro de escuela, y por esa aberracín, los拂 niños sufren. Es preciso un inmenso acopio de simpatia, de compresión y de imaginación para criar y educar a los niños. No nacen ni se cultivan por diversión; no son osos que bailan ni mómos. Son seres humanos que llevan en si el tesor de sus mentes y de sus espiritus. Y esa obra no debe dejarse nunca en manos de los que no tienen imaginación ni simpatia verdadera por los niños, de los que no pueden ser niños. El que ha perdido el niño en si mismo es absolutamente incapaz para la gran obra de educar los hijos de los hombres.
Nuestros antepásados, victimas de las circunstancias de aquel periodo ignominioso, fueron trasladados por los commerciantes en carne humana a tierras extrañas, de lo cual resultado que cuarenta millones de negros contribuyeron con su fuerza material al engrandecimiento de esta república noteamericana, orgullo de la raza blanca en el mundo entero; aportaron sus energías a la grandeza de los distintos imperios europeos, los cuales aún dependen principalmente de la gran fuente de productos naturales-el continente africano para la resolución de sus múltiples problemas económicos.
El conglomerado de esta institución opina que si Africa puede salvar la vida económica de Inglaterra, de Francia, de Alemania, de Bélgica, de Italia, puede más fácilmente salvar la vida económica de su propio imperio. El negro del presente realiza que tiene una importante misión que cumplir en el transcurso de su vida; que ha sido creado a imagen y semejanza del gran Arquitecto del universo; que la perversidad del hombre y no el mandamfento del Creator edicta que el color deba ser la marca de distinción de la aristocracia y de la excelencia, y que el hombre negro temeroso, y encadenado debe avergonzarse de si mismo, y venerar al hombre blanco como a
Esta institución nos ha inspirado en el convencimiento de que somos hombres como los demas hombres; que tenemos derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la persecución de nuestra felicidad; que debemos participar de todas y cada una de las dádivas bondadosas de madre Naturaleza. No habiéndose reconocido en nosotros tal derecho, tenemos que posesionarnos de los medios materiales para su reconquista, y estos no podemos obtener con la rogatiya y la publica. A tal grado a descendido el sentimiento humano en su escala de generosidad, que el derecho de los pueblos flame que serles restituido por la demostración de su beneficialidad.

Nuevo Liberty Hall para esta cuidad
Nos es placentero manifestar a los miembros de esta organización universalmente, que se han trazado ya los planos para la construcción del nuevo Liberty Hall que se ha de eregir en esta cuidad.
Su estructuré, de acuerdo con dichos planos, constará de nueve pisos y contará con un auditorio lo suficientemente espacioso, para acomodar al gran número de miembros que concurre a las reuniones regulares y a las sesiones dominicales de la División Local.
Los pisos superiores serán destinados para viviendas vivididos en apartamentos. El costo de la estructura no ha sido an estimado definitivamente, pero las entradas que reduzde el alquiler de los apartamentos y del auditorio, cubrirá en corto tiempo la cantidad total del costo del edificio.
El senior Jorge A. Weston, activo vice-presidente de la División Local de esta cuidad, perfecciona los planes para la construcción. La necesidad de un local espacio en el hogar del Cuerpo Directivo de la organización, demanda un Liberty Hall de tal capacidad y hemos de manifestar que los miembros en general descan tomar parte activa en esta obra, aportando su contribución a ella con un ladrillo o con un peso.
Estado. y patria
Un nuevo modo de sentir la patria, de conocerla y amarla, se difunde por todos los pueblos, tanto en aquellos que avanzan en soluciones democráticas y socialistas, como en los que retroceden hacia dictaduras conservadoras y restauradoras.
Se ha utilizado, se ha espiritualizado el ideal de patria. Desde luego, ha quedado rota la alianza, la trabajón, la confusion que existía entre las ideas de patria y estado. La autodeterminación es eso: se elige el estado, se muda, se destruye, se rehace; Podemos repudiarlo, exercarlo, sin dejar de ser patriotas, es más, la preocupación política en que ha de desenvolverse muestra vida civil es una exaltación del patriotismo.
El sentimiento vivo de esta distinción entre las dos naciones de estado y de patria parece encauzar la voluntad de los pueblos que guerraron. ¿Quía mudanza de espíritu de convicciones, de modos de razonar entre las naciones de 1914 y lís de 1924! Dijirase que se quieren salvar de estos desgarramientos de la guzara la nación espiritual y la sensación material de la patria a costa del estado, a precio del estado importándonos poco sus mudanzas y su destrucción misma.
Otra victima del salvajismo
En Excelsior Springs, estado de
Missouri, fue encarcelado bajo acusación de haber asaltado a una blanca (la excusa de siempre) Miller Mitchell, individuo de la raza.
Luego de haber llevado la demandante a su presencia y de haber sido identificado por ella, empezaron a aglomerarse grupos alrededor de la carcel y cuando su crecimiento formó una muchedumbre de quiénitas personas, tomaron la carcel por asalto sacando a Mitchell y llevandoolo al lugar en donde se dijo habia cometido el asalto. En medio de los gritos y las amenazas de aquella multitud anciosa de sangre, la amarrañó una soga al cuello y le colgaron de una rama de un arbol. No conformes con esto y para asegurar de su muerte le acribillaron a balazos. No se ha practicado ningun arresto.
El Hon. Garvey encabeza una contribución
Con motivo de la apelación para soporte del Cuerpo Directivo de la organización, el presidente-general interino, honorable. William L. Sherrill, ha recibido del Hon. Marcus Garvey un telegrama en los siguientes términos: "De todo corazón por el soporte de los miembros de nuestra institución, para levantar un (ondo de) cincuenta mil pesos destinado a la labor de la organización. Estoy seguro de que estos han de responder galantemente. Yo con gran placer aporto la cantidad de cincuenta pesos, parte de mis pequeñas economías, para encabezar dicha contribución. Mi mejores deseos por vuestro éxito."

MAKRIAGES DECREASE WHILE DIVORCES RISE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—The Census Bureau is investigating, with a view to comparing, the number of divorces and marriages annually in the United States. Reports on States thus far show a decided falling off in marriages and an increase in divorces. Marriages in Utah in 1923 were 5,667, compared with 5,205 in 1924; in the District of Columbia, 5,738 in 1923, against 5,353 in 1924; in Virginia, 23,110, against 21,837; Wyoming, 2,204, against 2,170; North Dakota, 4,006, against 3,707. In all of these except North Dakota and Utah divorces were more numerous in 1923.
MONTSERRAT IN HISTORY AND IN CIVILIZATION
The island of Montserrat in the British West Indies has been fortunate in having her history and achievements set forth by one of her own sons equipped with a wide and intimate knowledge of the affairs of the island and a sympathetic understanding of her people and her problem. Mr. Hodge Kiron, had already won a well-motivated reputation for excellence in the new scholarship, in sociology, history, biology and psychology. This compact little volume is worthy of such an author.
He is neither follicle flattery nor cultious, but an illuminating but of interpretative work in which the history and geography, the oral and political artistry. The culture and achievements of Montreal and its people pass before the reader's eyes in a pleasing panorama. With the compendious booklet in his hand one can gauge the changes which have taken place in this island of thirty-two square miles and 12,000 inhabitants from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. The record of its industrial ups and downs might well serve as a concise cross-section of the British West Indies under British colonial imperialism. The chapters on religion and education are a separate stimulating and in them the author brings to bear a dispersion of the scientific principles that help to gild light on certain dark corners of social culture.
If other West Indians in America could be prevailed on to do for their various islands, what Mr. Kippon has done for his there would be available for the information of other people in America a series of handbooks about the West Indies which should render a great service in the cause of a better understanding between the two main branches of the Negro race in the Western world. This very good and highly interesting brochure is at once a tribune to Montreal and a worthy product of the pen of one who ranks already as one of the able intellects that ever came out of any part of the West Indies.

"Koran"
This is the Koran of his belief, no matter what may be addressed against it, he others to the true faith, has a political reason:
The Koran to which the infinitive reference is made as the sacred book of the Mohammad: According to them, a copy of it, in a book bound in white silk, was brought down to the lowest heaven by the Angel Gabriel. Portions of it were, during a period of twenty-three years, communicated to Mohammed, both at Meccah and Medina Mohammed dictated his inspirations to a scribe, and from this copy the followers of the Prophet preached other copies.
The Koran has been translated into English and other languages. The chief doctrine laid down in it is the unity of God and the existence of one true religion with changeable ceremonies. When mankind turned from it at different times, God sent prophets to lead them back to truth. Moses, Christ and Mohammed being the most distinguished. Both penalties for the sinner and rewards for the righteous are depicted with great diffuseness, and are exemplified chiefly by the stories taken from the Bible, the apocryphal writings and the Midrash.
South African Native's Skull
CAPE TOWN, Aug. 6. - South Africa has yielded another cranial curiosity which is attracting attention among anatomists and antiquarians almost equal to that aroused by the discovery early this year of a fossilized skull at Taungs, Bechuanaland, described at the time as representing something midway, between man, and the great ape, and much finer than previously discovered prehistoric skulls.
When the body of a native was dissected by the Anatomical School of Cape Town University it was found to have a typical "haskop" skull virtually identical with that discovered in the Transvaal in fossil form in 1913 and traced to the ice age of probably 25,000 years back.
Prof. Raymond Dart, of the Witwatersrand University, who discovered the skull of Taungs, and other anatomists emphasize the interest and importance of the recurrence of a type of man, hitherto unknown except in fossil remains.

Subject, A Martyr of a Great Cause.
Text Acts 6:15. "And all that eat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel."
Stephen was young, tall of vigor, and as bold, as he was intellectually strong. He was a Hellenist, had been elected among the first to the office of deacon in the Church of Jerusalem, and had found time, not merely to assist in the management of the financial affairs of the infant society, but to travelse with powerful arguments all that opposed the divinity of her claims. This had led to public discussions, and in these discussions, the power and sanctity of the young deacon had been more than a matric for the veterans of the older covenant. Theological rancor is, alas, proverbial. And it is not seen at its weakest, when the older representatives of a narrow-minded tradition, bound with charms of custom and bigotry to the grooves in which their minds have, travelled on, find themselves confronted with vigorous and uncompromising truth in all the undeniable hopefulness of its eternal youth and eternal beauty.
If the circumstances were extraordinary, the scene was striking. It was now no longer, as it had been, a public discussion. It was at least inform, a public trial. The place was the Garrith, the great hall of the temple of Herod, magnificent still with that now buried greatness which we moderns may imagine from the huge substructures brought to light in our own days by western energy, and even from the present splendor of the mosque of Omar, which occupies, in its exceeding magnificence, the site of the ancient temple of God. But more impressive than the place of meeting must have been the assembly that met. There were probably three component elements in the gathering of that final day. First, there would have been the mode of spectators no way uninterested in the trial. The Jews, were as ever, a people whose national and religious life was bound in an indisputable bond. A political interest directed of a religious enthusiasm. Present in the hall of trial may have been, nay, certainly was, a vast course of interested spectators. The question at issue was one which seemed to touch the quick of national exclusiveness the tenderest point in a Jewish mind. Jews of Judaism, Jews of Asia, Hellenists in a special manner interested, infurished, alarmed, as the subject whose teaching threatened the integrity of their religious position was one of themselves — lackness, enthusiasm, fanaticism, devotion—all would be represented in the concourse that watched the issues of the day. Some were perhaps of the "devout men," whose convictions had been clinched by the teaching of the young Christian devout, but the majority by far must have been composed of those whose hearts was an impenetrable veil concerning the true work and office of Jews of Nazareth.
Then there was what we may call in modern language, the benen of police. Here was included the rank and learning of the Jewish hierarchy. The council of the Semiodrin numbered 27, of the heads of the courses of priests there were four and twenty, and of the curioses and of the elders an equal number. Old and young, learned and the righteous all assembled to hear and see this champion of a great cause.

"To Be Fat More Dangerous Than Airplane Traveling"
CHICAGO, Aug 25 (AP).—It is more dangerous to be fat than it is to travel on an ocean liner, ride on a railroad train or fly in an airplane.
Fat is killing off Americans at such a rate that special education is needed, thanks Albert M. Johnson, president of the National Life Insurance Company of the United States in convention.
The cabin of an ocean liner is the safest place in the world. A railroad train is next, and it is possible the third may soon be an airplane, he told the delegates.
"Death from disease is increasing enormously, but deaths from automobile accidents, murders and homicides have increased over 200 per cent in the last twenty years. Automobile accidents have killed more than 1500 per cent more than they did ten years ago."
Finds Secret of Gold That Died With Colliimi
ATTLEBORO, Mets, Aug. 26.—The General Plate Company announced today that Victor D. Dayignon, its metallurgist, has rediscovered and patented a process for making gold lighter in weight, but greater in volume. The process is credited among the achievements of Benvenuto Cellini, famed Italian goldsmith of the fourteenth century, but the secret fled with him.
According to Rathbun Willard, head of the Attleboro firm, a saying of from 8 to 18 percent in the weight of articles made from gold can now be made, and the new type of metal will withstand tarnish and stains. Besides being more durable, a greater use of gold in jewelry and a saving of millions annually in the cost of gold used in the arts are forecast by Mr. Willard.
Catgut the Product Of Sheep and Not Cats
Catcut used on stringed musical instruments is not made from cate, but from the intestines of sheep. "Many people," says E. Simon, manufacturer of catcut products, "but it's literal interpretation on the trade name of the material used in the manufacture of the strings used on violins, ukuleles and other instruments without stopping to consider the absurdity of it.
"The origin of the expression lies in a peculiar confusion of ideas. The word kit' was the old name of a small violin, and, since the material used in stringing the instrument was known to be made from the intestine of an animal the expression 'kitgut' was used in the same way we now say piano wire. Gradually the word kit became obsolete in referring to the violin, and at the same time it was interpreted as a kitten or cat. Hence we have the modern fallacy that leads people to put a literal interpretation on the well known expression."
An Armour & Co. official says that of the 22,000,000 sheep sent to market every year in this country 30 per cent supply material for the manufacture of tennis rackets, musical instruments and other products requiring cattle. Sheep from different seeding of the country are utilised for different purposes. Animals from Montana and the Western ranges, while the feed is rough and sparse are chosen for the cattle used in tennis rackets, while those shipped from Eastern and middle Western States are used in making the strings for musical instruments. The tone of a coin depends to a great extent on the kind of feed eaten by the sheep that furnish the material from which the strings are made.

Why His Heart Thrills With Pride
To the Editor of The Negro World:
There is no way to measure the intellectual possibilities of the Negro given an opportunity to take his place in world affairs along with the other races. No matter how much we may study, if we are not given the positions upon completing our course of training, we might just as well not have had this training. The white man will never make these opportunities for us. We must make them for ourselves.
When I see our organization in all of its strength preparing to do the things which we have always wanted but never had as a people, my heart thrills with pride. I cannot understand why any Negro would not prefer to join us and live than to stay out and die.
MRS. N. ENGLISH.

We Must See There Is No Other Way Out
It is my opinion that the Honorable Marcus Garvey, was given to the people to do the work which he is now doing. He was destined to be the leader and director of our people at the national period. In the history of race, I am only hoping that before long the eyes of the race as a whole will be opened to the great good of the program of this organization and join hands to help to put it over. The U. N. I. A. has opened the eyes of every well-thinking Negro who has acquainted himself with the program. I do hope that as time goes on, the eyes of more and more will be opened. It is not hard for those who study the condition of our people wherever they live, to see that they need a country of their own in which to develop. Without it they will never be recognized because they have no one to fight their battles. Negroes ought to join together and make this program of independence mapped out by the U. N. I. A. reality.

Indifference of the Young To the Future Scored

PRINCE'S VISIT
DAMASCUS P
I have been noticing for some time that the membership of our divisions in chiefly made up of the middle-aged class with quite a few of the older Folks. I notice also that the younger people such as are in their teens and early twenties, in most cases, pay little or no attention to the work the association is doing for the entire race of Negroes. Such young people do not seem to realize the significance of the time in which we are living. They seem to content themselves with being able to find a job somewhere or other, a nice suit or dress, and the future can take care of itself. They do not seem to realize that the races of mankind are increasing days by day, and that those of the other races who are supplying us with jobs and positions at this time. The time will come, and I believe is not far distant, when they will need the same for the children of their own race.
Therefore, as a race of people, if we wish to survive it is for us now to so lay the foundation economically and otherwise, so that when the time comes, we may be able to fall back on our own resources. And I have yet to see or hear of a better plan, or one as good as that which is embodied, in the program of the U. N. I. A.
When I remember that there was a Joshua to take the place of a Moses, as also Elijah to take up the mantle of Elijah, it impresses me the more that our young people should be prepared to take up the work of their elders when they shall be weak and infirm or shall have passed from the scene of action. And how can they be prepared except under the teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association?
I, therefore, ask all Negroes—especially young Negroes—who read this letter to fall in love with us in this glorious work, remembering that you have absolutely nothing to lose, and on the other hand, you have everything to gain, which is a free and redeemed country of your own—in Africa.
Can you ask more?

Edward "Seringour," whose efforts to obtain prohibition for England long ago werent for the Britain the widespread of Great Britain," will take an active part in the coming campaign to make his native country dry. The announcement that the Liberal leaders are to wage the war on liquor caused a star in all circles of England, and it is expected that one of the bitterest fights ever made on any issue will result from the attempt to abolish liquor.
-Former Premier Lloyd George, it is understood, will also take part in the campaign. Heads of large industries have come out openly in support of prohibition.

PRINCE'S VISIT TO SO. AFRICA AND THE RESULT
Tour, in Spite of Native Boycott,
Pronounced a Striking Success
—Problem of Native Unrest Has Been Aggravated
LONDON. Aug. 22. With the Prince of Wales starting on the South American portion of his five months world tour, it is now possible to attempt to set in its due perspective the first part of the trip in which, for the first time, the heir to the British throne visited the King's dominions in West and South Africa. That the Prince's visit to West African crown colonies would be productive of the best results might have been predicted from the start, and the reception accorded to him in these colonies fully here out this forecast.
The visit of the then governing Union of South Africa, however, was undertaken under much less favorable auspices, to say the least. Aside from the opposition expressed by a large section of the British Labor party, serious doubts regarding the wisdom of the visit were felt by many observers in this country who are round imperialists. It was painted out that the Dutch Nationalists, who are in alliance with the Laborists at present, are the majority party in South Africa and are awarded republicans, even though the Premier, General Hertzog, agreed before the election that hoisted him into power in place of General Smuts that he would not raise the constitutional question during the lifetime of the new Parliament.
Native Unrest Near Boiling Point.
Then, too, there was every sign that native unrest in South Africa, that long had been simmering, was on the point of boiling up to a crisis. The tears expressed preceding the wisdom of the Prince's visit seemed largely matted at the start.
Concedential with his sailing from West Africa for Cape Town the African native congress, as a sequel to the riots in the Orange Free State, in which, a number of natives were killed and wounded in a clash with police over the seizure of an illicit liquor supply, called for a native boycott along the same lines as that which the Prince had to face in India.
But, notwithstanding all of these unfavorable 'symptoms, the Prince's tour of South Africa has, as a matter of fact, proved to be another striking success for his irresistible personality, The Dutch populace vied with the British, in the warmth of their welcome to him and his trips through the native reserves were in the nature of a triumphal progress.
Probably the most important single result of his visit to South Africa is that it seems to have contributed powerfully toward inducing the Hertzog government to make a serious attempt to tackle the color problem—on the solution of which the entire future of the South African States, with its small minority of whites, must depend. Most of the newspaper correspondents accompanying the Prince have stressed the fact that despite the enthusiastic welcome accorded him by the natives, there is the gravest danger of a native uprising against the whites sooner or later, if the color question is allowed to drift along without a solution. The Prince's visit actually has aggrivated the problem to the extent that the natives are bound to contrast their inferior status with the scrupulous regard for native rights shown by the British in the West African colonies which the Prince visited earlier.

Paris Hears of Call to All Syrians, Irrespective of Religion, to Revolt Against French Rule
PARIS, Aug. 31.—Increasing uneasiness is felt here owing to the lack of news of the Syrian situation, of which the only tidings have come through Jerusalem by way of London, and the French public is beginning to become restive under the silence of the authorities.
The question of the Druse-rebellion has become so inflamed owing to the injection of political hatred by enemies of Sarrail that it is extremely difficult to judge whether rumors of the imminent danger of the fall of Damascus have their origin in military facts or in anti-Sarrail propaganda.
Hussein Bey Ahad, administrator of Beirut and holder of the Legion 61 Honor, that just arrived in France and declares that that Druse rebellion is an isolated incident and that the attack on French officers' has the act of bandits and unattached insurgents, but Reuter's has sent details of fortification of public buildings in Damascus and the installation of machine gun posts and a second manifesto calling upon the Syrians to unite irrespective of party and religion in a revolt against the French rule, which seems more important to the French mind than the difficulties of a provincial functionary. PARIS, Aug. 31—General Surrall, High Commissioner in Syria, today informed the War Ministry that twenty French airplanes yesterday bombarded Suedia.
This is interpreted in French military circles here to mean that the town surrounding the citadel was bombarded, as no mention has been made of the French, having been forced out of the citadel by the rebel tribesmen.
General Sarrall concluded his brief dispatch by reporting that the remainder of Syria, was quiet, except for the wounding of two Frenchmen in an attack on two automobile parties.
Malaria Now Unknown In All of Sweden
Malaria, which has caused so much trouble in other parts of the world, is now practically unknown in Sweden, but the Royal Bacterological Institute of Stockholm is engaged, in making a study of the Anopheles mosquito, which carries its germ. This mosquito is harmless unless it has sucked the blood of a person with the disease and has had time to develop the parasites in its own system. Not being situated in a malaria zone, Sweden is in slight danger of infection, but if an epidemic should break out abroad, travelers might bring the disease. In such a case the institute is prepared to take immediate measures to check it.

When Booze and Gasoline Mix on the Road
(From the Tampa Bulletin)
A sad spectacle. With the number of drunken persons so noticeably decreased since the advent of Prohibition, one is led to wonder what the condition of affairs might be if we had the old saloon back and all of the automobiles now on the roads. What a mixture of booze and gasoline there would be! It is fortunate that the saloon was out before the auto came in.
