Onward to the Goal!
Today the world stares the Negro in the face and demands of him an account of his stewardship.
For thousands of years we have mixed with the rest of mankind and now when all the races are boasting of their individual and collective progress—the progress of modern times—the race to which we belong has, perforce, to take the hindmost position because of the lack of this world's goods.
In the great achievements of this modern world the white man, as also the yellow man, can boast of his constructed empires and dominions; he can point us to his prowess upon land and sea; his position in temporal affairs is secure, thus he is able to rule the world with pride and satisfaction to himself.
How long is the Negro going to be satisfied to be a slave and a serf? The call for an accounting of the stewardship of the race is now, and we must be up and doing, for if we are found wanting much longer our sacred cause of liberty will be lost to us forever.
Black men and women the world over. I am begging you to come together. There must be no color line within the race, there must be but the Negro. The Negro has been despised for centuries, but if he will but rise to the occasion today he will find himself a man tomorrow. Let Ethiopia stretch forth her hands and call all her children to attention and to arms—the arms of industrial and commercial might. Let no scattered son or daughter fail to answer the call, whether you are called black or colored, for there is but one race, the Negro race, that must triumph as soon as we rise 400,000,000 strong.
There must be no East, no West, no North, no South where the Negro is concerned—there must be a united race. Rise, Negroes, in your industrial and commercial might and conquer your portion of the world! There is enough in the world for black, white and yellow. The white man has his share, the yellow man is getting his share, and the Negro must now organize and take his.
When I survey the world of political activity I see Africa as the envied goal of all races. Africa, by the plan of the other races, is to be the mart of exploitation, it is to be the "No Man's Land" of the races while Europe remains in the hands of the white man and Asia the domain of the yellow man. Unconsciously the Negro slept for five hundred years, and thereby gave the impression to an envious and avaricious world that all were welcomed to Africa, but today the Negro is fully awake and he is saying to all comers: "Thus far in Africa and no further."
Africa supplied forty millions of slaves to the Western world. Africa bled that others might live, but today Africa, through wounds inflicted, has recovered from her affliction and in the full strength of her manhood and womanhood is hurling her defiance to a mad world.
Sons and daughters of Africa, arise! I call you forth in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The time has come for us to pool our resources and make of ourselves a mighty race and nation.
Let the year 1926 be a remarkable one in the life and progress of the Negro. Let us banish suicidal discord and join hands and hearts in the attainment of the goal, for, with unity, there is no limit to the success of the New Negro. The future beckons. Africa stands where it did, and God still reigns in His Heaven. Negroes, go forth and conquer.
Founder and President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association.
WEAK BONES
A child with weak bones or tickets is malnourished and usually unable to cool, cough or other compulsively and particularly needs a body-building food. To save this need, sitting gets equal
BILLS BALANCE
The Government has announced that for a child with weak bones or tickets should be given a balanced diet, including milk, eggs, meat, vegetables, fruit and a balanced diet.
(Address Before Chicago Division)
"Righteousness exalteth a nation, as is a reproach unto any people," says the Good Book, upon which is based the religious propaganda of this people. And in accord with this declaration is the inscription on the dollar used as a medium of exchange, "In God We Trust."
In every town and city of the United States of America there is a church of some kind; through it is promulgated and propounded some phase of the Scriptural doctrine, and the congregation there assembled is inoculated with the opinions, thoughts, ideas and impressions of those who are from time to time speaking from the pulpits and platforms. Thus they form the greatest organized outlet for propaganda of the country and the people through them are awayed, directed or persuaded for good or bad.
Once every week at least over forty-five million people come under the sound of over two hundred and fifty thousand preachers, and still, more teachers, telling them about the things they are supposed to know and informing them of the things they are expected to do, in order to keep in the paths of good behavior and enjoy an opportunity of entertaining the poorly gates.
The great American government is ousted (and it should be); the Constitution glorified (and it should be); the Ten Commandments are casually spoken of, the golden rule sometimes referred to, the greatness of the Christian as a great Teacher and the Immortal Son of God is shown in wonderful upesches and the people are thus held under the control of organized propaganda.
And yet with the thousands of Methodist ministers speaking to the millions of Methodist members, with the thousands of Baptist ministers preaching to the millions of Baptist members, with the thousands of priests addressing the millions of Catholic members, and the thousands of other robed and garbed individuals expounding to millions of other hearers the doctrine. They shall not commit adultery; then
shalt not kill; thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor; thou shalt do unto others as you would that they should do unto you, fifteen million or more of fellow men of God's creation living in the same country, fighting for the same flag, paying taxes for the preservation of the same government, worshiping the same God, are permitted to be burned at the stake in the most horrible manner, raped and ravished at will, cut to pieces like cattle in the stockyards, shot down on the slightest pretext, arrested and railroaded to prison without trial by judge, restrained to long terms in prison farms without cause or pretence of justification by the authorities, in charge. Brutalized on the streets, segregated in public traffic, given the fittest of "accommodation," insulted and abused in all parts of this, the home of the brave and land of the free. All of this and more.
Cowardice of the Pulpit
Crime is crime by whomsoever committed, and the white pulpit of this country has shown its absolute cowardice in falling to use its power and influence to bring about a better condition of affairs, when their opportunities are so great and their avenues so many. Moral cowardice and turpitude in thus neglecting to demand of the people that they render a larger degree of justice to their fellowman and to call a halt to these outrages no continuously perpetrated by members of their race upon other human beings, in so evident, that words can hardly be found for the condemnation of this sinless attitude and laxity of duty.
As the great criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow, said in a West Side speech, "The Negro is barred from public eating places, the 14th and 15th amendments are de-learned, but nobody cares or protests." Why? Public sentiment is dormant as to these things and they rest lightly upon its conscience because the white pulpit is weak-heeded and cowardly so stakes at the deplorable condition. Imprigation of mind and heart with white superiority idea is so great that it established the duty to their fellow black man, and they lose sight of the fact that there must come a reaping day. For the seeds of prejudice, breed
ingate, murder, lynching and like things will continue to grow until the nation destroys itself.
What then can the Negro expect in a country where even the exponents of the Christian religion refuse to condemn the injustices practiced upon him?
Again Marcus Garvey is telling Negroes, who do not see the stack necessity for striking out along lines of nationhood for Negroes and building for themselves power and independence in our God given land Africa. "Be optimistic, if you must, but in Heaven's name prepare now against the day when your optimism shall be forced to take wings."
RUSSIAN-TURKISH PACT FOLLOWS LOCARNO TREATY
Asiatic Bloc in Making to Oppose European Group Masquerading as League of NationsHint to Meet Turkey Half-Way in Mosul Dispute Seen
JARIS, Dec. 23.—An Atlantic obposed to an European entente to the French Interpretation of the Turkish-Russian neutrality treaty. It was written here in Paris in its final form and signed by Tewfik Boy and Tehicher in the capital, which takes the greatest pride in the European entente as represented by the Locarno treaties. There was no whisper of the existence of the treaty until it was announced from Moscow yesterday. The Russian and Turkish Foreign Ministers knew how to keep secret, this pledge of mutual neutrality in the event of action by other nations—European nations—against either of the signatories.
It is taken for granted the whole treaty was published. The usual suspicions of secret clauses promising prived intervention are, backing this time, it is considered a political rather than a diplomatic document, published at this time to warn the European powers not to push Turkey too far in the Mosul affair.
The treaty is also designed to make the League of Nations appear a purely European body and oppose to it what may prove to be an Asiatic League.
The treaty needs only the adhesion of the other Mussulman States to make a Pan-Asiatic as well as Pan-Mussulman body backed by Russia. What it will mean in relation to the proposed Eastern European security pact is not yet clear, but in official French circles, where Briand's discussions with Tehchlerin on this subject are taken seriously, it is presumed that it will not interfere.
Rather it makes it desirable to agree on an Eastern security pact before hostility of the interests of Europe and Asia become too marked. As a basis for the proposed eastern European security treaty is a promise to keep peace, and the only engagement regarding going to war is against a member of the group which might treat its pledge. The new Russo-Turkish treaty would not make such a part impossible, though it at first seemed to do so. Though mild in its effect, the announcement of the treaty is a diplomatic bomb and has already made the desired impression—that the Turks must be met half way in the settlement of the Mosul question.
Negroes Have Small Percentage in Factory "Homework"
In urging that the next New York State Legislature pass a law which will give the State Department of Labor control over the so-called factory "homework"—that is, work out from the factory to the home for completion—M168 Nole Swartz, State Industrial Commissioner, points out that 20,288 persons are employed in the State on work of this character. Of this total, half 620 are Negroes, among the 34 races or nationalities represented. For the purpose of comparison the other races and their numerical representation in the 20,288 total are given as follows: Italians, 12,532; Jewish, 6,204; Americans, 2,338; Germans, 1,025; Irish, 124; Scotch, 12; English, 28; French, 127; Swiss, 16; Belgians, 8; Austrians, 48; Hungarians, 168; Bohemians, 136; Poles, 342; Roumanians, 2; Slavs, 29; Lithuanians, 43; NEGROES, 520; Cubans, 12; Mexicans, 2; Spanishs, 44; Portuguese, 11; Porto Rios, 23; Greeks, 285; Syrians, 4; Armenians, 35; Swedes, 39; Danes, 7; Norwegians, 11; Finns, 34; Dutch (Holland), 1; Russians, 31; Ukrainians, 4 and Argentineans, 2; C.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926
To fully grasp the essence of the alms and objects of the U. N. I. A., it is necessary to get a grip on the true perspective of its founder. In studying anything, the only way to get a true conception is to seek out the perspective and hold that perspective as the standing principle.
Eudite Christians study the scripture of Brahmas, Persians, Mohammedans, Confusionists and Evolutionists, and conclude that their scriptures are only fit for the scrap heap. Brahmas, Persians, Mohammedans, Confusionists and Evolutionists study the scripture of Christians and after proclaiming Jesus as one of the Master Minds, conclude that our Holy Bible, as a whole, is only fit for the scrap heap. All this confusion of thought is primarily due to one sect studying the alms and objects of the other with a foreign perspective.
To find the standing principle of the U, N, L, A, we need only ask one question and request a conscientious reply: What actuated the founder to organize the U, N, L, A,? If the reply is consistent with the teachings of the U, N, L, A, then the U, N, L, A can expect a true conception of its aims and objects:
At the first International Convention of Negroes, held in Liberty Hall, New York City, U. S. A., from August 1st to August 31st, 1920, daily elected deputies reported, grievances as follows: "Discriminations, lynchings, inferior education, denial of equal chance to earn wages in civil service and other government departments, peonage and serfdom, and other grievances too numerous to mention, and all because of race and color." The convention drafted and adopted a Declaration of Independence. This document is known as The Declaration of Rights, and records a protest against unjust treatment of Negroes, their determination in the future to secure their just rights and to demand equal opportunity and treatment with other men.
It is plain, from the Declaration of Rights, that the U. N. I. A. exists solely for the purpose of bringing the Negro on the same social, economic and political plane as other races. The preamble to the Constitution clearly defines the objective of the U. N. I. A. when it points out "That the U. N. I. A. was organized for the general unfit of the Negro peoples of the world, and the members pledge
MOVING NEGRO SECTION TO WORTHLESS SITE
An Example of the Treatment Meted Out to Negroes by the Prejudiced in White America
From the Florida Times-Union
As an aid to future city planning,
the Eau Gallie Chamber of Commerce
has taken steps to move the present
"nigger town" from the western part
of the city to, another more remote
and less valuable location. Property
values are beginning to rise rapidly
in the western part of the city and
the section now occupied by the Negro
population promises to become within
a short time, a very fine asset to the
owners of the property.
It is not the intention of the Chamber of Commerce to take any dissatisfaction that will work hardship upon the Negro population, but the fact remains that "dark town" cannot long endure, with it in the light of community development and expansion. A committee of the chamber has been appointed to make a study of the situation and submit a report with recommendations, and when this work is finished the chamber expects to present to the city council a plan whereby the proposed change can be made. It is understood that the Negroes are not opposed to their transfer if it can be effected without harming their interests.
Says Abyssinian Blacks Are Turning White
Mrs. Rosita Forbay McGrattrie, explorer, author and lecturer, arrived on the Paris of the French Line Dec. 22 and told how a black-skinned people in Abysinia are turning white because they are living underground. These people, she said, were in Lalibela, a troglodytic colony, where homes were dug into solid rock three stories beneath the ground. In each of these houses the upper or ground floor is set aside as a temple where a religion half-Christian and half-Pagan is observed. The living quarters are always beneath these churches, and because of the hours passed in the darkness the natives are getting so they can see in the dark better than in the sun.
Howard Student Elected To National Federation
NEW YORK--Following the meeting of the National World Court Conference, held at Princeton, N. J., last week by students representing the leading American universities and colleges, it was voted to organize a National Student Federation, the first national, organization of its kind in this country.
In the course of the selection of permanent student delegates from the different zones in the United States, Miss Habib Holloway, a senior student of Howard University, Washington, D.C. was selected by representatives of the South on the permanent delegate for that section of the country.

themselves to do all in their power to conserve the rights of their noble wives and to respect the rights of all mankind, believing always in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. The U. N. I. A.'s catechism explains the U. N. I. A.'s catechism of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God when it points out that "the essential principle of true religion, as taught by Jesus Christ, is the universal brotherhood, of man growing out of the universal fatherhood of God."
With "One God, One Aim, One Destiny," as our motto, we command our aims and objects for the persuas of the conscientious reader: "To establish a universal, confrontatory among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to reclaim the fallen; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to assist in the development of independent Negro nations and communities; to establish Commissionaries or agencies in the principal countries and cities of the world for the representation and protection of all Negroes irrespective of nationality; to promote a conscientious spiritual worship among the native tribes of Africa; to establish universities, colleges, academies and schools for the racial education and culture of the people; to conduct a worldwide commercial and industrial intercourse for the good of the people; to work for better conditions in all Negro communities.
A casual glance over the aims and objects, with a clean and open mind, should make the reader observe that the first phase aims at blinding the fallen, the needy, the backward and improved Negroes, with pride and love, into one Universal Confederacy. The second phase aims at solidifying the conflictivity by a concentration over the noblest and highest thoughts of any people—Notionhood. The third and last phase aims at a Racial Hierarchy. The reader must keep in mind that the one purpose of the U. N. I. A. is to make Negroes, feel themselves equal to any other people. If Negroes have the divine right to entertain thoughts of racial equality, then it is only the U. N. I. A.'s method that can be attacked. The kickers would then do humanity better service by putting their method into effect to bring about the desired result.

JAPANESE ACQUIRES NEW IRON PROCESS
JAPANESE ACQUIRES NEW IRON PROCESS
Goro Matsukata Contracts for American Patent for Producing Metal Direct from Ore
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 26.—Acquisition of Japanese rights for use of a new American process and apparatus for production of metallic iron from the ore without use of the blast furnace was announced here today.
The contract is between Goro Matsukata of Tokyo, head of several Japanese industrial corporations, and H. G. S. Anderson of Muskacee, Ocala, and E. B. Thornbill of Oakland, Cal., the patentes, who are graduates of the Missouri School of Mines.
James Wilson, Neill of Pasadena, Calh, who made the announcement in Mr. Matsukata's behalf on the conclusion of negotiations here, said the contract included construction of a first factory unit for approximately $500,000. All machinery and materials will be purchased in this country.
Mr. Neill said the process already had been used in production of 3,000 tons of metal iron, but had not herefore been applied in the steel industry. Through utilization of the process, he said, Japan might produce more of the own iron and steel and thus reduce its unfavorable trade balance because of importations.
Mr. Matsukata is the owner of recently developed iron ore bodies in northern Japan. He is the fifth son of the late Prince Masayoshi Matsukata, one of the "Seller statesmen", founder of Japan's banking system, and known as the empire's "first iron-master."

White Student Leaves Meeting When Negro Is Named for Post
PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 14, K. C. Kiser, white student from the Louisiana State University, attending the National Student Federation, made a heated speech denouncing the recognition accorded the Negro delegates and hurriedly left the meeting when the nominating committee named Miss Mabel Holloway, young colorful woman student, representing Howard University, as a member of the executive committee. Kiser admitted his prejudice and denounced the plan of working with Negroes in the movement. Officials of the organization, stated that the movement would go forward despite Kiser's action and that the next meeting would be held next fall at the University of Michigan, Anti Arbor.
AMERICAN FLYERS BACK FROM RIFF TELL OF THRILLS
Three U. S. Adventurers Return on Liner Paris—Say Fighting Riffs In Planes Is Easy—Little Danger and Plenty of Thrills.
NEW YORK. Dec. 24.—All the thrills and frills of a military life without much danger came to the Americans who joined the French army to fly against the Riffs. it was learned yesterday when three of the seventeen Americans of the Escalade de la Garde Cherilienne arrived, on the French liner Paris yesterday. The men are Paul Rockwell, of Asheville, N. C.; Thomas Butts, of Paris, and Lanning C. Hollen Jr. of Cammel, N. Y.
The few planes, that the mountain folk of Northern Africa had managed to buy for their guerrilla warfare against the French were destroyed by the Spanish before the Americans ever reached the theatre of war, the men admitted. When the Frango-American飞机的 got into action they dropped their bombs against a force that had no artillery heavier than machine guns and no anti-aircraft weapons except the machine guns and rifles.
May Return to Fight
Just now, the warfare having been postponed until spring because of the seasonal rains, the Americans have surrendered. Their commission as captains. They have been invited to return when the rainy season is over, and they said that they might go back. Rockwell and Butts were emphatic in denying that anything other than a love of France had sent them into action. Butts indignantly denied that any of the seventeen was an adventurer, as they have been called in foreign dispatches, while Rockwell preferred not to discuss that side of the matter at all.
"We went in as any Frenchman of military instincts would go in," he said. "That's all there is to it."
The three men, all of them veterans of the World War, were made a part of the Escadille in August, and withdrew from the French army in November when their unit was disbanded. Rockwell was an observer and the two others were pilots of the bombing planes that were sent against the Riffs.
Creek Beds. Used as Roads
The stories that the war has been postponed because of the rain were supported by the three Americanans. There are no roads through the mountains where the enemies of France make their headquarters, they said, and it is necessary to use dry creek beds for transporting food and artillery. When the rains come these paths are filled with dangerous torrents, so the French had to withdraw.
The greatest danger was that of forced landings, the aviator said. In the 2,500 square miles of territory over which they were required to fly there were but four spots large and level enough to receive a plane. Rockwell added that now and then it was necessary to fly low in order to find the hiding Riffs, and that this brought the planes within range of rifle fire.
"They are the best shots in the world, and once a plane came back with a dozen notes in it," he said.
That was the only hazard he mentioned.
Use of Bible Barred in Elementary Schools in South China Western World Machinery by Which Christ Is Brought to Chinese Main Point of Attack
CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES CALLED HIRELINGS OF MILITARISM AND IMPERIALISM
In DREW PEARSON
In The New York World
PEKING, China, Dec. 5.—Christianity in China today is being subjected to a more scathing fire of criticism than at any time since the Boxer Rebellion. The use of the Bible has been barred in all elementary schools in South China and, due to the student boycott, many mission schools are finding it difficult to open this autumn. Missionaries have been assembled in recent conferences trying to devise methods of dealing with the situation. Some are in favor of closing down their schools for one term, or perhaps an entire year, while others favor turning their schools over to Chinese Christian teachers for two or three-year periods.
The most regrettable phase of the Chinese campaign against Christianity has been the purely Bolshevik inspired attacks upon the Saviour. Posters have been plastered on the walls of many Chinese cities depicting the Saviour smoking an opium pipe, with an inscription below which charges: "Christ and Opium Caused China's Downfall." One writer in a popular Canton paper attacks the divinity of Christ by maintaining that while "Christianity says that Jesus is the Son of God, every one knows that he was really an illegitimate child," Just as Lung Tai Lung Kwong's soldiers used to force young women to gratify their desires, no Jesus came into the world." The poor missionary has been the recipient of a storm of abuse from both sides; first from the Chinese whom he taught and befriended, second from the American and British business man, who blames him for the present boycott. The business man is right to the extent that the instigators of the boycott have students, but he loses sight of the fact that most of these young rebels came from purely Chinese rather than from missionary schools. The business man claims that educating the Chinese has not only made them self-assertive and nationalistic and points out that the schools and colleges have become hotbeds of nationalism.
"Vanguard of, Imperialists"
"Vanguard of Imperialists"
This criticism, however, is nothing compared with the storm of abuse heaped upon the head of the missionary by the Chinese themselves. "Missionaries are the vanguard of foreign imperialists," reads one manifesto issued by the Educational Association in three central provinces, which I pick out as an example. "The chief preachings of the missionaries is brotherly love, but they have brought into our midst poison in the form of mission schools and colleges, which distribute their poisonous teachings throughout China:
"This is the chief reason why the nation is now in such helpless condition. In order to crush the imperialism in our midst we must first put an end to foreign missions in China. If this is done, it will be easy for foreign imperialism to lose its grip in China."
Another typical document broadcast over North China by the students of Peking, reads: 'Of all religions Christianity is the most desirable. One sin of which Christianity is guilty and which particularly makes our hair stand on end is its collusion with militarism and imperialism. Christianity is the public enemy of mankind, just an imperialism, since they have one thing in common: to exploit weak countries. "It is the intelligence officer of the militarist and the hireling of the imperialist. If no effort is made to exterminate the evil it is impossible to foretell its dangers in the future."
It is not difficult to understand why the Chinese really believe this sort of thing to be true. In the first place China has been flooded with this sort of propaganda, printed in Moscow for seven, or eight years past. In the second place, the Boxer Wars, by which China was not only forced to pay a huge indemnity but ceded the treaty ports to foreigners, were started by the murder of missionaries. Finally Shantung was seized by Germany, when two missionaries from that country were murdered.
No wonder the Chinese believe that missionaries are the forerunners of all foreign aggression. Chinese also see that Christian organization or organizations have become one of the great property holders of China. The Roman Catholic-Church is recognised as the greatest landlord in several cities along the Yangtze, and the Canton Christian College's beautiful Camps and buildings occupy several square miles outside the city whose name it bears.
In the last four years, Chinese have shown an increasing desire to secure partial control, or at least to regulate these Christian institutions. They maintain that missionary schools are not registered with the Government nor do they follow Government instructions; all of which gradually alienates the exclusive right of the Government to edifice. Various American States they point out, intertwined with private schools, to the outfall of prohibiting the teaching of German, and have required foreign pupils to submit to inspection and regulations.
Many Schools to the Grand
The missionary pastor over the Japanese prea a medium by which the course of
children, and by which their country may become more solidified. They believe that Chinese schools and Chinese teachers are more capable of teaching Chinese history and Chinese ideals than are foreigners; and that foreign schools, by teaching their own Western subjects, gradually alienate the affections of the young Chinese from their own motherland. They fear that those educated in American schools will learn to love the United States and in British schools, Britain.
Last year this movement to regulate mission schools became so strong that the Government was barely kept from closing all primary schools under religious auspices. This year many of the schools will be closed, not by Government order, but simply because there will be no students on hand to teach. In other words, students are boycotting 'British missionary schools as well as they are boycotting the British steamship lines.
Broad-minded missionaries, however, believe that the present anti-missionary movement will be a necgain for the church. In the first place, it is the intention of every mission which operates in China to secure native co-operation and to turn the work over to the Chinese as soon as the latter are strong enough to carry on. They believe, therefore, that this desire to regulate the schools of China is a natural and healthy one, and some missionaries are ready to turn their property over to the Chinese almost immediately.
It also should be noted, that, except in the most, avowedly Bolshevik propaganda, the Chinese have not attacked the person of the teachings of Christ, but only the Western machinery by which Christianity is brought to her. Perhaps China in her own new world can avoid some of the petty denomination bickering which have handcapped the church in the Western world, and can resurrect a new Christianity ifore suitable to the Orient, from which Christ came.
Four Arrested in Murder Of Acquitted Negro
CHARKSDALE, Miss. Dec. 22 (By Associated Press).—Denounced by the Coaham County League of Women Voters as "lich-hin-hined-murder," the lynching of Lindley Coleman, a Negro was made the subject of investigation today by a Grand Jury. Four men, one of them a planter, were arrested today on charges of conspiracy to murder and warrants were sworn out for four other persons.
Those arrested are Thomas Nichols, brother of Graver C. Nichols; J. T. Traynham, a planter; C. O. Cane, an employee of Traynham's plantation, and H. S. Blockley of Clarksdale.
Coleman was seized Saturday night as he was leaving the court house after being acquitted of the murder of Graver C. Nichols, taken away and lynched.
Eskimos Now Radio Fans
LONDON, Dec. 22.—The Eskimos are becoming enthusiastic radio fans, according to Captain J. C. Jackson, who has just returned from Labrador, where he took a high-powered radio set on his annual trip.
He reports that the Eskimos would daily collect about the loud speaker, chuckle at jazz and solemnly listen to speeches. At first they were speechless with amazement, but now they have grown accustomed to the radio concerts.
Captain Jackson hopes to equip all the Eskimo missions with radio sets.

LET'S PUT IT OVER
AND UNITED IS OUR NEW YEAR GREETING
This holiday message, published in the last issue of The World, President-General Marcus Garvey struck the hope, which has been the touchstone of his influence. He has had confidence in himself, which he is to inspiring confidence in others—and confidence in millions of Negroes everywhere. And what a host is confidence in himself, in "the star of his determination to influence that star to move in the streets, and not in the direction he does not desire." Mr. Garvey will. His will is not master of man. The man understand it in this way will fail. The race that it in this way will fail. It all depends upon the best of all help. Like a man's bank account depend upon it to prove faithful and true when in friend's fall away, and friends fall away when you. In the last analysis a man is his own best friend. So with a nation.
Person who habitually looks on the dark side of life to look on the bright side; and he will finally where he can see only darkness and the failures of self-confidence makes possible. President-Generalidence in himself, and because of this fact inspires others. And what a beautiful thing it is to go of life with confidence in yourself, and with a smile and with a word or act of helpfulness for all who have association! The brave person, the person who is outward aspect of him wherever he goes, how may hedge him about, however disappointment and yet at his vitals.
Yuletide Greeting, President-General Garvey said, "Universal Negro Improvement Association let us put deceit, corruption, intrigue, graft, malice and self-work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is the profoundest wish of my heart for this time is coming, and I pray that you work and the day. Until then let us ever look forward at it. And how can any fail who will look at the man conduct in the way that President-General Garvey's words are brave and inspiring all the more instances which surround him personally. He humbles, he keeps the faith in himself and would inspire, united," is the New Year Greeting of The Negro World is coming," is the Greeting of President-General. If we stand together firmly and act with singleness shall come upon the better time all the sooner as prepared to enjoy it the fullest measure.
I. President-General Marcus! All hail the Universal Association!
STAND UNITED IS OUR NEW YEAR GREETING
in his holiday message, published in the last issue of The Negro World, President-General Marcus Garvey struck the high note of hope, which has been the touchstone of his influence from the beginning. He has had confidence in himself, which is the first requisite to inspiring confidence in others—and confidence he has inspired in millions of Negroes everywhere. And what the Negro needs most is confidence in himself, in "the star of his destiny," with a determination to influence that star to move in the direction he desires, and not in the direction he does not desire. Man is master of his will. His will is not master of man. The man who does not understand it in this way will fail. The race that does not understand it in this way will fail. It all depends upon self-help, which is the best of all help. Like a man's bank account, he can always depend upon it to prove faithful and true when misfortunes come and friends fall away, and friends fall away when you are in trouble. In the last analysis a man is his own best friend. So with a race. So with a nation.
The person who habitually looks on the dark side of life will not be able to look on the bright side; and he will finally reach the point where he can see only darkness and the failures which his lack of self-confidence makes possible. President-General Garvey has confidence in himself, and because of this fact inspires confidence in others. And what a beautiful thing it is to go about the business of life with confidence in yourself, and with a smile of satisfaction, and with a word or act of helpfulness for all with whom you may have association! The brave person, the person who wins, carries this outward aspect of him wherever he goes, however misfortune may hedge him about, however disappointment and sorrow may gnaw at his vitals.
In his Yuletide Greeting, President-General Garvey said: "Within the Universal Negro Improvement Association let us purge ourselves of deceit, corruption, intrigue, graft, malice and self-seeking. Let the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association go on forever, is the profoundest wish of my heart for this Yuletide. A better time is coming, and I pray that you work and live to embrace the day. Until then let us ever look forward and be on guard." And how can any fail who will look at the matter and shape his conduct in the way that President-General Garvey indicates? His words are brave and inspiring all the more because of the circumstances which surround him personally. Hidden in by prison walls, he keeps the faith in himself and would inspire us all to do the same.
"Stand united," is the New Year Greeting of The Negro World. "A better time is coming," is the Greeting of President-General Marcuus Garvey. If we stand together firmly and act with singleness of purpose we shall come upon the better time all the sooner and be all the more prepared to enjoy the fullest measure. All hail President-General Marcuus! All hail the Universal Negro Improvement Association!
FIGHT FOR A PLACE IN THE SUN.
Cybu, and read the parable of the Talents. A besetting sin of the Negro race has been that done for itself what it should have done, but I ers too largely to do for it what it should do for its indictment, but unless we look in the glass we image as it is, and that is a most important man.

A besetting sin of the Negro race has been that it has not done for itself what it should have done, but has relied upon others too largely to do for it what it should do for itself. This is a severe indictment, but unless we look in the glass we shall not ace our image as it is, and that is a most important matter with every one. We should not expect others to spend time and money looking after our interests; that is our business, and we have had all sorts of troubles because we have overlooked this fact. Those persons who make the greatest successes in life are those who attend most strictly to their own business and leave their neighbors to do so. It is even so with nations. The strongest nations today as in the past are those that are ceaselessly on guard to protect and promote their interests. Around the table of every international conference you will find this to be the ruling principle.
The struggle for existence, for "a crust of bread and a place to sleep," is the common inheritance of all of us. It extends even to the animal kingdom—to the fowls of the air, the beasts of the earth and the fish and monsters of the waters under the earth. They have to struggle ceaselessly for the right and the substances that make for life. If some get more than others, more than their share, because of greater strength or subtlety that is to be expected, but it can't discourage others for striving to recover their lost or restricted portion, because it is a natural urge, a necessity, that they have enough at least to live on in order to produce more.
The attitude of complaint is all too general among Negroes, even in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, where strong men and women who "know their rights and dare defend them," have been taught to front the enemy and fight to the last ditch for a decisive voice in their own social, civil and economic values. We don't get anywhere by whining and trunkling. We get everywhere for fostering the enemy and challenging his right to use and rob us.
But those who have wronged and robbed us will, make resisting simply by the rule of fair play; it should not be expected to be in any possible, the way human nature is organised, anything with any more. This disposition to take advantage of others that profit is as old as Abel and Cain and as young as Abraham, Moses and English overlord, as they swear.
and bluster and rob and punish in the United States, in the West Indies and in Africa. HEALTH
It has been only since the coming of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association that the Negro has been aroused from his sleep of ages and made to see that he has a personality of his own and that if he would prevail he must organize and match his wits and dollars with those of the white races who would drive him out of the sun entirely—we megn internationally aroused, because there are millions of Negroes, in the East and West countries and the islands of the seas who have been aroused in the past six years to a realization that they have a race oneness and interests that require organization and leadership of their own to properly claim, protect and promote. The Negro no longer thinks in the language of provincialism, but in the language of internationalism. He realizes that everywhere he is a Negro and that if he does not stand together everywhere he will in time be able to stand nowhere, as is the case with the Red Men of the Americas, who have been cast out by the white tide as the blacks have been in the Australias.
Let us begin the new year more determined than ever front the enemy everywhere and to fight for a place in the sun. We have begun to do it in the United States, in the West Indies and in Africa, and should not only persevere but intensify our contention. It is the imperative study of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to do so. It is an obligation they assumed when they became members:
THE AMERICAN NEGRO HAS MADE MUCH PROGRESS
As a matter of fact the Negro people have made great progress in the past fifty years in the United States, in the West Indies and in Africa, in all matters that make for character and standing. They have acquired much education and property values and shown activity in the thought and accomplishments of the times in all parts of the world. They have made what the President of the United States and others regard as wonderful progress, and what is true of them in the United States is equally true of them in every other part of the earth where they live and strive. They are much like the few in this respect, that they thrive on oppression and persecution, showing that they are a coming and not a going people, that they have a great future because they have a great but much shrouded past and a promising future.
The fact that the Negro is making substantial progress everywhere, and that he is taking increased interest in his own in Africa, with a determination to organize and submit to his own leadership, in order that he may be more helpful to himself and his interests, is too often overlooked by some who see only the disadvantages and drawbacks with which the race has to contend. It is the getting the Negro to think alike and to act as a unit in promoting his own interests that is the main point in racial advancement, and the Negro is getting that viewpoint, and it is that viewpoint which the white races do not want him to get.
The Negro must have education and wealth and race loyalty in order to accomplish the greatest good for himself. He has not always understood this to be primary, but he is fast learning that it is.
In a recent article Mr. Robert B. Eleazer, of the interracial movement, with headquarters at Atlanta, gave us a comprehensive statement of some of the things the American Negro has accomplished, and which should encourage us all because the more the American Negro accumulates the better able will he be to contribute liberally for the redemption of Africa, mainly by those in Africa who have the heel of the oppressor on them and must fight to remove it or be ground to powder. The more a Negro has the more he can help in all matters of race necessity. Mr. Eleazer summarizes some of the accomplishments of the American Negro in the following:
When freed in 1865, American Negroes owned 12,000 homes and operated 20,000 farms. Now they own 700,000 homes and operate a million farms. Then they conducted 2,100 businesses, now they conduct 70,000. Meantime their aggregate wealth has increased from $20,000,000 to $2,000,000,000, one hundred times as much.
In 1924 there were 73 Negro banks, with $6,250,000 capital, $20,000,000 of resources, and an annual business of $100,000,000.
Thirty-five Negro life insurance companies report $200,000,000 of insurance in force on the lives of 1,100,000 persons. These companies have eight thousand employees and are wholly capitalized and managed by Negroes.
There are in the United States 47,000 Negro churches, with five million members, and 46,000 Sunday schools enrolling three million pupils.
Members of colored churches contribute annually $550,000 to home and foreign missions.
The 332,000 Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in five years contributed $1,941,979 to the Centenary fund of that church.
Negroes have contributed nearly $350,000 toward the erection of colored Y. M. C. A. buildings in fourteen cities. In 1865, ninety per cent. of the Negroes were illiterate; now about twenty per cent. Then there were 100,000 Negroes in school; now 2,150,000. There are in the United States about 10,000 Negro college graduates. Six hundred and seventy-five received the bachelor's degree last year. Through their churches and otherwise, Negroes raise annually $3,000,000 for the support of their schools.
A number of Negroes have recently given to Negro colleges sums ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. We submit that this is a very creditable showing, made by a white man for us, of what the American Negro has done in the past fifty years; and it must be regarded as remarkable when we consider the empty-handedness with which the Negro began life as a free man and the obstacles he has had to front and overcome. Having laid the foundation, building upon it in every direction is already becoming a matter of course and easy. If we could have a like statement of what the Negro has accomplished in the last half century in the West Indies, in Central and South America and in Africa, we are sure the whole would not only be encouraging to the race but a wonderful showing which those not of the Negro race could study to great advantage, indicating, as it would, that the Negro everywhere is gradually emerging from the darkness into the light of modern
ONE OF OUR DRAWBACKS
People of business and great intelligence find little time to give to the interference of other people's affairs. It seems to be the people who have not enough to keep their minds engaged who are forever and everlastingly trying to find something to find fault with; something that will enable them to start a quarrel, whether such a thing is profitable or not—just something to bring one's self into the limelight, whether the experience is worth while or not.
The world is full of people who are always eager and anxious to tell the other fellow how to conduct and manage his affairs, yet who can neither do anything of consequence in his own behalf. And be it said to the discredit of the Negro-race group that they have an abundance of past masters in this particular profession—men and women whose knowledge of things they can neither do or understand is beyond conception. Yet they are continually on the job, and they actually lose sight of the fact that they are hopelessly retrograding themselves while they are losing so much valuable time trying to give others advice in things they neither can do or understand; and we trust the thoughtful people will soon see the necessity of integrating this particular species to the place or places where they will come from troubling, and their tongues and presence given a peaceful and forgiving rule.
There are those normal variations of the blood pressure which all of us show in the course of a day of which I spoke in the previous article.
Such normal variations would justify having a check-up of one reading with another at a different time if there has seemed to be present too high or too low a pressure.
There are risks in blood pressure which are not entirely too high to be due to the normal happenings of the hour preceding the examination. There may be a pressure which is too low to be compatible with perfect well-being. Some other time I shall take up the various conditions which cause high and low pressure; today I shall list some of them so that you may see for yourself that, when someone has been told that he has either of these conditions, more must be done. The cause should be treated and eliminated, if possible.
High blood pressure may be temporary and caused by poisoning such as lead workers have; by severe pain; by intense worry over a period of days; bronchial asthma; heart conditions. Persistent high blood pressure may be due to heart disasse, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries, and trouble with the glands of the internal secretions.
1. Low blood pressure may be due to shock; poisoning such as that from alcohol, or ether, aconite, etc. It often springs from an attack with one of the acute infectious diseases, or from long drawn out illnesses like tuberculosis, cancer or severe anemia. Certain forms of diseases of the glands of internal secretions may be the cause of two low pressure instead of too high. Epilepsy, heart diseases of certain types and some kidney diseases cause the blood pressure to be too low. Too low-pressure may give a sense of vertigo, dizziness, dull headache, constant or frequent and disproportionate sense of fatigue and nervousness.
Too high a pressure may cause a breadthiness, palatization of the heart; a fluscomfort over the region of the heart; or may produce hassitude, irritability of temper and nerves, rigue pain in the back or legs, indigestion or, in some instances vertigo, headache, ringing in the ears and more serious symptoms.
"Negroes Are People," Says "Jewish Chronicle"
DETROIT.—Commenting upon the enormous increase in the Negro population in this city during the past decade, and commending the orderliness of the general adjustment of Negro migrants to new conditions, the Detroit Jewish Chronicle says: "Negroes are people and have the same desires, interests and ambitions as the whites. Since emancipation the Negroes have made enormous strides, and would have made even greater if they had not been the greatest sufferers from social discriminations. Modern anthropologists have not been able to discover mental or physical inferiority, and if these people succeed in overcoming the handicaps which have been imposed upon them, it will really be a most creditable performance. Negroes are people and are citizens of our own country, who are entitled to as much consideration as any other group—C. P. B.
Hope to Reduce Deaths By Cocaine Poisoning
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Experiments which indicate a possible reduction in the number of deaths from accidental poisoning by cocaine were made public today at the University of Chicago. A study by Dr. A. L. Tatum in the pharmacological laboratory has revealed death in cocaine poisoning to be due essentially to failure of the respiratory center.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
There are some people who feel that the Negro spends too much time fighting for his "rights," and a number of our friends have become unpopular because they have dared to strike back at the fellow who has attempted to deprive them of those things to which they were justly entitled. Every other race has fought, cut and even dynamited its way to the front. We cannot expect to land, there without going through the fire, too—Des Moines Bystander.
The public will be wise to differentiate between its leaders who are downright interested in the profession they follow, or the "public service" they espouse, and those others who simply choose a way to get a living—Kansas City Call.
If every Christmas morning would serve as an annual reminder of "A way out" which God gives us through the child, and if mothers were guided by this thought in rearing their children we would move more rapidly toward the realization of the life and the conditions for which we all long—Boston Chronicle.
It is well for all men in the study and effort to solve our problems, that all our thinking and judgments are not inalienable—that other men have a right to think and speak, and that the worst calamity that could befall the world, would be to have all men to think and be fairly. If we are to have peace we must at living respect each other's through—Star of St.
When we criticize, let the criticism be constructive. Let us put out our wrinkles of pity and not more abuse—Christian Rebuttal.
Within my garden nee'er a rose to cheer me:
The last flow'r fades neath sad and sombre skies!
No song of joy flows from the trees above me—
Southward the last bird flies!
Brief, all too brief, the summer of my roses,
As for my nightingales the moon-gleam-pale!
And must I finger, while the evening closes,
Watching the silent vale?
Not so, dear heart! Spring bears us ever onward
At golden dawn which shall be yours and mine,
When spring's first rose shall lift its glad face sunward,
And Love's sweet bird shall sing its song divine!
One Way in Which The Race Problem Will Not Be Solved
By MILTON E. KELLY
In The Bulletin-Review
Some Negro leaders have advanced the belief that in another few years the white population will make up their minds to assimilate the blacks, thereby sinking all racial prejudices in the welcoming of the latter into the social companionship of the former, and thus produce a new race.
Such belief is preposterous. I believe that white men should be white; yellow men should be yellow; and black men should be black in the great panorama of races, until each and every race by its own initiative lifts itself to the common standard of humanity, as to compel the respect and appreciation of all. Finally to make it possible for each one to stretch out the hand of welcome without being able to be prejudiced against the other because of inferior or unfortunate conditions.
The whites of America, will not, or any organized extent, assimilate the blacks, for in so doing they will be committing racial suicide. This they are not prepared to do. It is true, he illegitimately carries on a system of assimilation; but such as practiced, is one that he is not prepared to support because he becomes prejudiced against his own offspring if it is produced by black and white. As long as Negroes occupy an inferior position among races and nations of the world, so long will others be prejudiced against us. But when we lift ourselves from a low state by our own initiative to the highest human standard we shall be a position to be heckling and praising, and demand a place that no individual, or nation will be able to deny us.
"Self-Determination Not
Intended for Widow
The following is "clipped from the Liverpool, England, 'Echo':"
The news from Damascus seems to shock the susceptibilities of some people here and in the United States. It was not so lonely. What there was a more widespread and general outcry over the whole country on account of the alleged Bulgarian and Armenian atrocities; but public opinion is more imbued with savoir false nowadays, and acts which were considered cruel and unjust before the great war are now regarded in their true perspective.
The story of the bombardment of the ancient city leaves us cold, because its ignorant and uncivilized inhabitants must be taught to appreciate the advantages and blessings of Western culture. Self-determination is not for them, or for people like them.
In this best of all possible worlds, the League of Nations has given mandates to various powers to look after the destinies of the backward races, and the sooner the latter realize the fact that they are only permitted merely to exist on sufficiency the better for the peace of the world.
It is too much to effect thanks for the self-sacrificing efforts of the Western nations to spread civilization, for gratitude is not a virtue of the colored races.
The improvement of the understanding is for two ends: First, our increase of knowledge. Secondly, to enable us to deliver and make out that knowledge to others—Nashville, Clarion.
It is an old common-law maxim that one cannot do by indirection that which the law prohibits doing in a direct manner. Trying to segregate a race by agreements among property owners seems to be a clear instance of an indirect effort to accomplish a forbidden end—Indianapolis Freeman.
The white man who kills a Negro and gets by with it will direct his criminality toward members of his own race. Crime is a disease, which if not curbed, will eat its way into the very vitals of our community and will result disastersunily—East Tennessee News
The Negro is given no consideration for his financial and economic contribution to the white press. He reads it, supports it and is a large part of its clientele, but the hand that feeds and builds the press is chopped off in conduct, by the newspapers that it distributes so much to make them greet. Our beat men and women are treated in the columns of many white papers as ally-bats and inhabitants of the under world—Atlanta Independent.
No earthly man can any my religion to right and years to wrong because this he does not know. The only concession that man has concerning his religion to God is by the guidance of his own obedience and the lying up to his own religious convictions—Dewitt Brown.
Abolitionist Blood Comes Out Strong In Clarence Darrow
The trial of Dr. Ossian Sweet and ten others for defending the home of the doctor in Detroit and for shooting into a mob of whites who threatened the home, and killing one, was easily conducted by Glennie Darrow, the famous Chicago lawyer. The trial resulted in a mistrial and will be tried again in January, Mr. David E. Lillenthal a Chicago lawyer, who attended the trial, has written an article on "Has the Negro the Right of Self-Defense?" for The Nation, from which we make the following quotation:
The climax of the trial was reached when Charlene Barrow walked slowly to the jury box and began his closing argument. A deep shout fell over the crowded jury courtroom. The old man with the unutterably sad face and the great stooped shoulders seemed no more lawyer pleading for hire. He seemed, instead, a patrarch out of another age, counseling his children, norrowing because of their cruelty and hatred, yet too wise in the ways of men to condemn them for it. His voice was a low rumble; in it resounded all the misery his tired eyes had seen. Quitely and sadly he besought these twelve men to inflict no further hatred and injustice upon a race that has known nothing but hatred and injustice. He seemed to be ploughing more that the White may mislead him than that the black be free, more that the spirit of the master than the body of the slave, his voice rumbled out the story of the goestday's tragedy of race, the whole drama of the black man in America seemed to be there re-acted. And then sadly the voice of the lawyer rang out like a brass gong, his eyes became hard and grim, every muscle of his huge body was tense and strained. Horrow was no longer the patriarch, the philosopher. Now he had become the warrior, the veteran, of a hundred battles for human freedom—battles against the greed of the strong, the cruelty of the many, the blotty of the ignorant. Thoroughly aroused and angered, his head lowered like a fighter coming out of his corner, he turned upon the prosecutors, his arms swinging, eyes narrowed and pittless, the brass going changing an alarm and a challenge. . . John Brown, before the Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Owen Loveley defying the mob at Alton, Charles Summer努urging Butter in the Senate Chamber. . . . In the veins of Darrow is the blood of the Abolitionists; his father was a friend of John Brown and sent more than one feeling black man along his terrified way to Canada and freedom; again and again he had held the son tales of Garrison and Kelley and Foster and Pillshire.
The black man's body had been freed, and the Abolitionist father had helped win him that freedom. There are no more underground railroads or fugitive-slaves laws or whipping-posts. But there are mobs and torches and trees hideous with swiping black shapes, and there is suspicion, prejudice, hatred. And on the new battlefield, fighting a subtler foe, and one that may perhaps never be wholly defeated. Is Clarence Darrow, son of the Abolitionists.
The story told in that courtroom was undoubtedly a sordid and dishartening one, but not wholly so. Has the white man of today advanced beyond his brother of two hundred years 550 who trapped slaves for rum? No one can answer with any assurance. But that the black man is making headway in clear beyond doubt. Of this, the young defendants themselves are Stifling evidence. Most of them are either graduates or students of colleges or professional schools; their grandparents were slaves who could neither read nor write. At the press table sat two colored newspaper men the match of any correspondent there. The factories seen from the courtroom windows are employing more and more Negroes every week. And there is encouragement, too, in the fact that Negroes can commend so fair a trial in a land where most trial of Negroes have been mob-dominated traenties. For this trial was probably the fairest ever accorded a Negro in this country; had it been otherwise the defendants would now be on their way to a life in prison.
Man Is Still in Infancy,
Says Sir Oliver Lodge
LONDON. Dec. 16.—The human race is still in its infancy and may have millions of years before it on this planet. Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent scientist, declared in a lecture on evolution today. He was speaking to a large audience in Chant Church, Westminster. While referencing the contours he made in a similar lecture, a few days ago, that man is descended from other animal forms, he said human beings were immortal and had a great destiny. He indicated his belief in an unseen world, saying, "We are surrounded by a host of helpers with which indeed, I know that it is possible to have communion."

OF;
OUR WOMEN and WHAT.THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey
GOD, GIVE US MEN!
A BRAND new year is being ushered in—three hundred and sixty-five days in which either to make yourself or break yourself. It is entirely up to each and every one of us to forge ahead and use the opportunities that come our way, or lose ourselves in despair, muttering, "I just can't make it." The fellow who has the will to do is bound to make a good start, and if he adds endurance to that will, he is bound to achieve his goal by December and will be able to recall the year 1926 with pride and satisfaction because of his accomplishments.
From the highest to the lowest, we all have our ambitions and longings, to acquire certain things, to do certain acts, and to be like this rich man, or that great woman; but sometimes our methods of going about these given objectives are not conducive to success, and when we fail, we oftentimes blame fate or the next fellow. There are certain given roads to success, and unless you get your bearings and follow the trail, you won't get anywhere. One must also be equipped for the journey; and see that you are well supplied with Courage, Cheerfulness and Determination. The load of Doubt and Fear, must never, enter your knapsack or your burden will become so heavy that you will be compelled to falter by the wayside. The latter elements are deadening, while, the former are invigorating and sustaining to the end.
To our readers who are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we implore you to make every effort to do something real and tangible to further the work of this great organization. Just to attend your local meetings and clap your hands at big moments will not get us very far, as we are now well established throughout the world, and must demonstrate our ability by deeds, not words—the orator must make way for the business man, and the smart uniform must clothe a man of worth and ability, or our cause will stagnate.
The burden of the association should not be left on the shoulders of one man, while his indolent associates bask in the glory of his achievements and trade on his name. Each officer should measure up to his post, and each member should see that he does, or compel him to step down and give his place to a worthier servant of the people.
Our personal likes of dislikes should play no part in our choice of man for office. The only question should be. "Can he measure up to his post?" His qualifications should not depend on whether he is hapdsome or whether he is popular. His sincerity to the cause outweighs his good looks and his willingness to work outslimes his popularity. We want real men and not dudes.
The man who could be president of a local in 1919 may not be capable enough for the post in 1926. Why? Because the Universal Negro Improvement Association has reached the second stage of its being, and the fellow who was used to awaken sleeping Negroes with his big voice and startling phrases, cannot be used today for practical expansive work, unless he has developed along with the organization and is prepared to meet the exigencies of the hour as they present themselves. Hence we give them fair warning to "get in trim," or "dress down."
By the help of God, nothing shall stand in the way of our work of African redemption and Negro uplift, and if we have to move some stumbling blocks in order to plant some live wires, we are sorry, but it just has to be done. It is better to hurt your selish feelings than to hurt the work for which" Marcus Garvey and others have suffered and sacrificed.
Let no swell-headed egotist in your locals tell you about "his plan" and "his program." There is only one program for the U. N. L. A.—the one laid down by Marcus Garvey, the founder of this organization, and any time any member feels that he cannot follow that program then we are perfectly willing for him to leave the U. N. L. A. and try out his program on his own initiative. We will be broad-minded enough to "wish him luck," and pat no obstacle in his way, but when it comes to changing the U. N. L. A. into something else in order to pat over some selfish scheme for personal gain, here is where we call a halt, and warn that brother that he will have trouble on his hands. The broad plans of the association have been revealed by Marcus Garvey to every member, and it is the latter's duty to see to it that there is no deviation from them. The detailed plans have not been committed to blue-print by Marcus Garvey, therefore any assistant who is working on this "Negro nation building," is compelled to refer frequently to the master builder, Marcus Garvey, for his plans in order to know whether a passageway should be built here or a wall should be built there. Any man who boasts that he can complete Garvey's "nation building," without Garvey's plans, is only wasting time, because this master builder is Divinely inspired, and until he departs this life, his plans will not be revealed to another. He is merely an instrument used by the Almighty Architect to reassemble the scattered and oppressed Sons of Ham under their own vine and fig tree. And in the carrying out of this Divine purpose we say:
"God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will."

WHY THE DOG WAGS HIS TAIL
Peculiar Characteristics of Canine Explained
Why does a dog wag his tail? Not by accident. It is part of an ancient signal code, a veritable wig-wag with a white flag. For we must remember every dog that has any white on him at all has a white tip to his tail, at least a few white hairs.
We know, too, that the wild ancestor of the dog also had a white tail tip. We know that this wild ancestor was a small, yellowish animal with light spots over the eyes that he was indeed a kind of jackal.
Suppose our wild dog jackal sees a strange animal coming. The first wise thing to do is hide and watch the stranger—that is, crouch in the grass. The stranger comes nearer. The crouching dog sees now that the newcomer, is one of his own kind—and maybe even a friend, therefore not desirable food.
The stranger is now so near that con-
tention is no longer possible. So the
first wild dog rises and walks stiffly
and guardedly forward. Then, seeing
no threats, the first dog raises his tail,
so that the white flag is bears is above
the level of his back, and waves it from
side to side. The other, not desiring
war, responds with the same wig-wag
signal. They are now friends.
These things happen continually in
the wild long ago. Today you may
see them in our towns, every day where
there are roaming dogs.
No creature has any habit through
freak or accident. There is a reason
at the back of every established prac-
tice.
The wild dog, for instance, usually
sleep where bedtime found him. His
blanket was on his back. He selected a
dry, sheltered spot. Then he smoothed
the grass or removed the sticks and
pebbles by turning around two or three
times. And his town-bred cousin does
the very same today.
The wild dog had his bushy tail for a final wrap. His nose and his fore paws, his only thinly clad parts, he huddled together, and around them he curled his woolly, warming tail. So do chow and mastiff yet. A terrier does not hide his nose with his wig-wag flag, it is because his tail has been cut off.
Of all our domestic animals, the cat has changed least. Its the today is virtually the same as that, of its wild ancestor of the Upper Nile.
There is one singular habit of the cat that needs explanation. That is the gernual twisting of the tail tip when she is crawling after a bird or watching for a mouse. Her color blends her with the ground. Her actions are silent and perfectly timed.
But that tail tip keeps on twisting in a way that one might think would betray her.
Crawling through the grass, she likes advantage of every scrap of cover. Any animal seeing her would see only a dim, furry something at the most. Another cat comes along, sees the furry something as a possible spear, and proceeds to stalk it. But long before the second cat is near enough to spoil the first one's game that waving tail waves its signal: "Keep off! I am a cat like yourself."
HAIR FAMINE HITS LONDON AS "BOB" REDUCES SUPPLY
Demand for Switches Boosts
Prices for-Women's Shorn
LONDON: There is a famine in London of hair for hairier wives, swatches and other false pieces as a result of the vogue of shaded and shingled hair. When the fashion of cut looks begun women's hair for a time almost glutted the market, but now that about 90 per cent of the women in London prefer the new style the supply of hair does not begin to meet the demand. Therefore, even six to ten inches of perfectly good hair is bringing unprecedented prices. Hairdressers are looking about for new fields where bobbing is not in vogue with a view to making contracts with women for long strands of hair.
HAMILTON. Bermuda.—The bill providing for the construction of a light railway from one end of the island to the other has been passed by the Legislative Council and now goes to the Governor, the House of Assembly having previously passed it. If the railway is built it will be the first mechanical transport permitted in the island, which hitherto has advertised to tourists, "No motor cars, no railways, no tramcars, no smoke and soot."

What We Can Do
DO SOMETHING! That is the only proof men can give of good intentions, the only worth-whole evidence of their reverence for the noblest spirit that ever came among ungrateful men... WHAT CAN WE DO?
We can help the poor, close to us, and vote, talk, write and work to help those farther away.
We can set aside race and religious prejudice and hatred, following the example that Christ set when he mingled freely with publicans and slimners, not despairing any* of the people of any race. All men were His brothers. The highest command that He gave was, "Love one another." N. Y. Amercan.
The Blessings of Locarno?
After Locarno, which was to assure the peace of the world, we had the storming of Damascus, the Anglo-Turkish fight over Mosul oil, and the Greek-Bulgarian affair. In spite of this Spain now wants the blessings of Locarno extended to other nations.—The Daily Worker.
A Dollar Argument
The Russian government has become a customer of huge importance in the export market. We recorded the other day the purchase by Russia of American cotton worth, $4,000,000 during the past year. Tuesday's newspapers recorded exactly the purchase of 10,000 Fordson tractors, at a cost of $6,000,000. On the game day the cables reported a bit of news to break the hearts of many American businessmen; final signing of the agreement with Japanese firms in regard to Sakhalin. Lack of recognition is certainly not preventing our doing a large amount of business with Russia, as the figures prove; but this blissiness would be facilitated if the legal barriers were removed. That is, the port of argument which a Coolidge and a Kellogg understand best of all—New Republic.
And After 1914-18
The boys who went forth to battle for "democracy" were trained to kill Germans, to wipe out the entire race so that democracy would have a chance. These Christian boys were placed in front of dimples made to resemble human beings and ordered to stick their bayonets into them as they should stick them into the quibbling flesh of a German soldier after they got to France. This was patriotism. The nearer the soldier approached the hyacinth in ferocity, the nearer he came to being a one hundred percent American. The Germans were a bad lot those days. Every time the face of Von Hindenberg appeared on an American screen, the morons hissed. The same morons cheer the same face now. The noble Von is now president of the country, our 100 percenters aware to wipe off the face of the earth. He supports the Locarno part and the international bankers are duly grateful. There are many lessons to be drawn from the happy reunion of Europe's capitalist nations, but fortunately that reunion cannot be lasting. - T. J. O'Fleury.

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

parents of college girls on the question of whether or not these girls should smoke, the fathers and mothers of students at the Boston University College of Practical Arts and Letters have registered a vehement "No!" Returns from a questionnaire sent to 675 parents of the students in this department of the university by Doyd T. Lawrence Davis show that the fathers and mothers of New England do not want their daughters in college to be permitted to smoke. Segment of the letters said that the writers positively would not permit their daughters to attend an institution where smoking is permitted. Of the 675 ballots sent out, 659 have been returned, from Doyd's annuaries recently. Only one failed to take a decided stand against girls smoking. This one wrote that it wasn't a question of girls smoking but a question of whether either boys or girls should be permitted to smoke.
"My feeling in the matter is that girls of college age should not be permitted to decide this matter for themselves," Dean Davis said. "Our rule against smoking will continue to be rigidly enforced, and the penalty for infraction is expulsion. For most of the girls the rule is no hardship; they have no desire to smoke. The very small minority may feel as one girl did who frankly told the that she had smoked before entering college, but that she would never do so in Boston because it wasn't worth expulsion from college."
The following are abstracts of rejection representative of those resolved by Dean Davis:
"Smoking removes the sweetness and charm which goes with girls' femininity."
"I cannot visualize my mother with a cigarette, between her lips," and "I should not wish so to visualize my daughter."
"I know from my own experience that it is a difficult habit to overcome and that overindulgence is detrimental to health. I sent my two daughters to your college for mental training. Smoking certainly could not improve their mortality." "It is well to remember that the girls in your college from 1925 to 1929 will be the mothers of the girls in your

college in 1850; and I am sure that cigarette smoking does not lead to the highest type of motherhood.
"Whigarette smoking undoubtedly does become a habit, especially if one inhales. I am grateful to say that behind the smoke screen in many instances there lurks the furtive whiskey flask and these real trouble beams.
"The majority realizes that cigarette smoking produces the wrong kind of 'hand shake'; that the hand which rocks the griddle needs to be stronger and steadier, than ever if it is to rule the world of tomorrow.
"If a girl would be prevented upon to refrain from smoking during her college career, to retain from it during the remainder of her life would require
"It is my opinion that college girls are at a very susceptible age and that they need the advice of their elders. If they will delay smoking until they are 25 years of age, in my opinion very few of them will ever take up the practice. "I feel that a girl who smokes is lowering her resistance to the temptations which constantly surrogate her. What she does by submitting to the epiline will in later years become a pleasant habit. "I have never been able to prove by statistics that smoking is detrimental to health, but I am sure that it is unfair to the next generation of only in producing a weaker moral fiber. "I have never been able to disaffect female cigarette smoking from people of the red light strata of society. "I would feel very sorry to find that I was sending my daughter to an educational institution that would sanction that which it has been my education and duty as a mother to teach against.
"This question I should like to hear answered by college rules: 'How many ways great teaching motherhood would vote to approve of their diapers simulate?' I believe the girls who smoke now will be ashamed to have their children know about it in the days to come.'
"We heartily endorse your attitude. A great deal of this talk about personal freedom is presented, but tainted with Bolshevism. The literature mind cannot readily penetrate the mazes of substance. As a matter of fact, we have no personal freedom in

the artist sense. Society is much safer
for those restraints.
"We surely are living in peculiar times when the Christian dean of a christian college should have to ask the support of parents recording the fearful level that the so-called smart young women are taking up in our institutions of learning.
"I admire the stand, which you are taking in this matter. Parents who have a grain of common sense are getting fired of paying out money for having children college educations, and having them turned out flappers and cigarette heads. The money comes hard and the colleges ought to feel bound to teach the right kind of thing.
"Our other daughter, a nurse, spent several months in a New York hospital, where it was necessary for her to associate with several young nurses who smoked. The general attitude of these nurses seemed to be that not only did they not advise any girl to start the habit, but they themselves washed they could stop smoking."
"Smoking on the part of an intelligent girl indicates a weak character. Smoking because of fear of being so severely depressed is an act of cowardice and shows lack of independence. I believe it is much 'smarter' to have the courage to say, 'I am unafraid of violence and will stand down if it is necessary rather than give way to a crying mob of weak and unthinking faddists.' "As you know, there are physiological reasons why young women, the mother of future America, should not smoke. To those, of course, one must add the iron and oil esthetic. The average young man thinks he can take bigger breaths with the 'girl who smokes.' To that extent the effect is demoralizing and tends to depict the younger say of that rotham, elitizing influence which now, more than ever, is essential to the welfare of America's young handwomen."
How to Use
Up Cold Turkey
Skim the leaves of a cool turkey nearly undigested in ice melt, butter, then spritzible with ozone and curry powder before spreading with the following mixture: four tbsp oolons thick white, seven spiced with a tablespoon homemade grit and a teaspoon anonyme sauce and a teaspoon mixed in lemon juice. When this has set on the base of the turkey, then in bread crumbs and bacon in a little oven for fifteen minutes an otry in hot fat will soften. Serve with fresh tomato sauce and fresh peppers.
To make shaved potatoes, pool potatoes and use them in every four pots. Use eight of potato and cover the pots of soufflé quarried and in other partly shaved, in a slow-pin, spiral-coil layer with pepper oil and add the trimmings of two pounds of mortar or simply two teacups muffin tart. Briefly cover with water and be keenly to loosen, then cook slowly, alternating occasionally till the potatoes are soft, then give a quick stir, with water, if any and leave pots washed and till all the molten has been absorbed by the potatoes, serve in a mould with turkey loot.

On one occasion, while in a conference on the Congo above Stanley Falls, we heard from far in the distance, the boom, boom, boom, of a drum, the drummer evidently employing a code resembling our own Morse.
My natives grumpily vowed to paddling and listened intently, then one of them seized the drum lying on the bottom of the canoe and with a few quick beats answered the mysterious message that was coming to us out of the unknown.
"What are they saying?" I asked Ament.
"It is one man from all some village like these people," he explained. "He long way off on higher ribbon 20-30 mile away. He said he took him family fishing is very good, he not come home till tomorrow."
It was precisely as though an American business man, were to call up his wife by telephone and tell her not to keep dinner waiting for him so he was spending the night in town.
Every Congo village has its town drum, usually a bell-shaped, long sometimes three feet in diameter and a dozen feet long, set on jibbles under a thatched hut of its own. These town drums are used for communicating with neighboring villages, for sending out summons to dances, feasts, tribal councils—for broadcasting news of every kind. If the climate condition are propitious, particularly at midfall, when a sudden hurricane over the great forest, they can be heard, so it is asserted, for every mile, it is a well known fact that government radio messages are frequently cut stripped by messages transmitted by the native drums, for the radio service in the Congo, as I discovered, by no means to be depended upon.
So highly has this means of communication been developed it is said that—certain of the African tribes, notably the Yorubas of Southern Nigeria, can actually talk their languages on the drum—and so universal is its

unless that nothing happens among the white population which is not promptly disseminated among the natives. Time and again, in the course of our journey down the conco, we found that the inhabitants of the wood, posts which the steamer shipped for fuel had been apprised of our coming and knew ill about us (this I learned from Amoni); that I spent a portion of each day tapping out strange characters on a piece of paper by means of a mysterious click machine; that Barton carried a large black box in which he caught and imprisoned the images of people, and that my wife had a shiray magic tule which, when she pressed a button, could turn night into day. Nothing escapes the notice of your African native, who is as fond of disseminating trivial news by means of the drama as women in small communities as anyone are fond of gossiping over the telephone.
The speed and accuracy with which these dramatics are sent sometimes over long distances, is astonishing. For example, when we arrived at the point on the river where we were, to give the porpoise and follow a trail through the bush to the gliding post, we were astounded to find the whaler awaiting us with a hummingbird and bearers for every member of the party.
How had he learned that we had been added to the number of his beloved sisters? By the drum of course. And the mild mistake in his information was that we were Enchishe which was not surprised, for in the Coliseum Americans are unknown, every European who was not a Bala Matadh (beloved son of an Enchisheman).
English Colonials Confer on How to Rule Native-Africans
From the New York Sun
White inhabitants of that vast part of East Africa between the Congo and the Niger provinces are endeavouring to make on a common point toward the native races. A conference, we recently held in Takenay at the Northern end of Lake Nyas between two representatives of the five colonies in Kenya, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Uganda and Tanganyika to consider their common interests. It was called by Lord Delamere, the leader of the settlers in Kenya, where the lack of European makes the development of native crops by contact with cultivated customs a serious problem.
Ukanda forces best, as the natives there take kindly to white enslavement and many are actively engaged in agriculture. The conference decided to make Amami a center for agricultural research work and expects the imperial Government to assist. It wants a scientific of wide repertory to head the institution and study entomological problems, such as the best means of extrapolating the teste fly from the new territories conceived and also from Southern Rhodesia and the Union of South Africa. The delegates passed a resolution declaring the rapid destruction of forests in East Africa and urging a police of repatriation.
Concerning tillage of the soil the conference opposed encouraging native to grow better, tolerant or cotton, feeding the spread of disease and the neglect of food crops. A proposal in favor of restricting natives to certain companion was withdrawn. Lord Delaware expresses the opinion that native species with an infiltration of native education, to make either than libraries, and concludes the advantage of trusting native education to mission societies and the establishment of colleges to train native teachers. Should the suggestions of the conference be carried out they will have a far-reaching effect on the progress of East Africa.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1948
CAIRO, Dec. 27—The Egyptian King, Akhnatotm, whom Prof. Reasted calls the "first individual in history," will be known in future not only as the first worshipper of one god, but also as the inspirer of a great school of art that left behind it, when the priests of Amuhol had worked their fury on the vow name and memory of the heretic, only fascinating and scattered fragments.
Akhnaton was Tutukhmanian's father-in-law. Tuit married, when probably not older than twelve, Akhnaton. Akhnaton's youngest daughter, and the same artists who worked for Akhnaton worked for Tut. They were a little obese, and the extravagant enthusiasm induced by Akhnaton were engulfed by the priests or soiled by experience. But they produced the countless masterpieces now being removed from Tut's tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
Akhnaton's Influence Seen
Every great school of art has been based upon some spiritual experience, some new light, and those "wives" have seen the small part of Tutankhamun's statues, jewelry, furniture, so far removed, aside that stamped on them all is the individuality of Akhnaton, modified of course, by the change Jack to the old religion and the removal of mankind's already connected with the dead heretic.
Akhnaton's court sculptor, Jack, added to his title the phrase, "whom has no master himself living." This was clearly no job compliment to royalty. It probably was Jack who cured those two astonishing statues of his master found this year at Karmak where engaged priests had buried them, and no artist ever made a king look like that excepting under the monarch's personal interactions.
Akhnaton came after at least 1,500 years of apostle religion and attained the tradition. He regurgitated the great gift Amond. He changed his own name from Amenophis IV. to Akhnaton to get rid of the gods名 in his own name. He declared war on all the gods of Egypt, and expounded their names from the temples and monuments. He removed his capital from ancient Thebes and built himself a new city in Tell el-Amarna, where the worship of the one god, personified in the sun, was centered. Akhnaton no more gimn worshiper, however. His concept of divinity was one that did not appear on earth again for many centuries after he died in 1358 B. C.

"It may seem to be a digression from the subject of *Tutankhamun*'s tomb, but a few passages from Prof. Greystone's translation of *Abkhans*'s *Hymn to the Sun*'s engraved on the tomb chapels of his country. All show something of this amazing Pharaoh's religious outlook, and this

MRS. FORBES RELATES ABYSSINIAN TRAVELS
NEW YORK, Dec. 21—Mrs. Brista Forbes, F. R. G. S., explorer and journalist, who in private life is the wife of Colonel Arthur McGrath of the British War Office, arrived yesterday on the French other Paris to witness before climb and educational institutions on her recent trip across Africa from the Red Sea to the Nile. In her journey from the Red Sea to Khartoum she passed through the little known country of Abyssinia, which the former Emperor Menelik made famous. Mrs. Forbes said yesterday that although she had travelled under the protection of the Prince Regent of Abyssinia, Ras Tafari, there were times when the expedition faced danger which arose quickly before his aid could be invaded. In addition to the savage warriors who poured about the little frequented caravan tracks, there was always the danger of lions coming down on the camp at night.
In the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia the Emperor Zakir, who is feet 6 inches in height, claims direct descent from the Queen Mamura, who was the Queen of Sheba who visited King Solomon 3,000 years ago. She met the Empress and the Prince Regent at Addis Abeba, the capital of Abyssinia, and saw a great feast of 15,000 warriors, who were fed on raw flesh out from fresh killed bullocks. There are no streets in Addis Abeba, Mrs. Forbes said, and every one has to ride on horseback.
The most interesting place she visited was Lalibela, the city of huge monolithic churches built from solid rock. They are said to have been built in 1300. The people are Christiang, said the explorer, and they live underground in caves cut in the rock under the temples. The darkness, she said, has churned their complexions gradually from cold black to a slate color. Mrs. Forbes said that, if they continued in their present mode of living their descendants would be white in a hundred years. There are 12,000 persons living in Lalibela.
Mrs. Forbes has also explored the Kotro section of the Sahara and went into the interior of Mopaco to interview Karsun, the pictureque brigand who was so long the terror of the Spanish troops in that section of North Africa.
John Smith, Negro Alderman Presides Over Board for First Time in History
For the first time in the history of the City of New York a Negro member of the Board of Aldermen presided over the deliberations of that body yesterday when the board of 1924-1925 dissolved after having held its final regular weekly meeting in the City Hall.
One of the final acts of William T. Collins, president of the board, who is County clerk-elect, was to extend the gavel to Alderman John William Smith, representing the Negro section of Harlem, and to permit him to preside over part of the board's last session. Mr. Smith ascended the rostrum amid his colleagues' applause.
Since the November elections Mr. Collins at each meeting has allowed a retiring member of the board to exercise the functions of the presiding officer and the courtesy has been extended to Democratic and Republican members alike. It was on the motion of Mr. Collins that the old board finally affirmed sine die.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Equality in school assessments and expenditures enlarged opportunity for the higher education of colored youth, and for the proper training of colored teachers equitable administration of school funds, the consolidation and improvement of colored schools in thinly populated districts, with public transportation of pupils if needed, the opening of hospital practice and training to colored doctors and nurses, and public provision, for the proper care of fiddle-minded colored children, were among the important goals set by the interracial forces of Kentucky at the annual meeting in Louisville on December 11-12. It was decided to undertake a constitutional test of the colligant school law which permits separate assessments and to seek to enforce the provisions of the state, constitution, which requires equality in the expenditures of tax money. The matter of opening hospitals will be taken up also.
The efforts of the Executive Committee and of Dr. James Bond, the State director, were highly commended and the honor was expressed that "distinct progress has been made in cooperation, between the two races." Dr. Bond and the committee were congratulated, especially on the generous share secured for colored institutions in recent school bond issues in Louisville.
The annual meeting was well attended and was addressed by many prominent people of both races, the major subjects—being education and health. Among those taking part in the discussions were Dr. Jethro Hancock of the State Board of Health, Dr W. H. Ballard, Dr. James Leder, Dr W. J. Weston, Dr J. A. C. Lattimer, Prof. L. N. Taylor of the State Board of Education, and Prof. A. E. Mazeck. A mass meeting was held in Warren Memorial Presbyterian Church, attended by an interracial audience of four hundred, which listened to able addresses, by Dr. Alva C. Taylor of Indianapolis, and Dr. C. V. Boman of Nashville, Col. F. H. Cahalan, prominent business man, did the honors at this meeting, white Phloe C. Dix, State Secretary of the Y. M.-C.

241 E. 127th St. New York City
New York's Population
Put at 5,873,356;
Increase of 253,308
ALBANY, Dec. 22.—New York City has a population of 5,873,356, according to the census figures made public tonight by Florence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of State. This represents a growth in the past five years of more than a quarter of a million, the Federal census having given New York City 5,620,048.
A comparison of the increase in the city, with the census growth of the State as a whole shows that while Greater New York gained only 253,308, the population of the fifty-seven counties outside this city has risen 523,616, making a total of 5,288,793.
Large population gains are shown by the 1925 census figures as having been made in the Bronx, in Kings and Queens, while the Brooklyn of Manhattan, which according to the Federal census of 1920, sustained a loss during the preceding ten years of 47,330. is shown as dropping in population during the last five cars from 2,281,103 to 1,945,020, a decrease attributed largely to the effects of restricted immigration as well as to the enrichment of business on residential sections, with a resident gain in boroughs and counties of a more residential nature.
New York City's growth during the last five years practically measures up to the gain in population made between the so-called normal years from 1840 to 1915, when the city went from 4,766,553 to 5,047,221, or a growth of 290,325. During these same five years, the commuting counties of Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk gained 79,577 in population, as compared to a growth of 186,544 which these three counties made during the last five years, in each instance the population gain having been the largest during any five years in the county's history.
Ancient Writings Read By Ultra-Violet Rays
LARIS, Dec. 23. A new and valuable use for ultra-violet rays was revealed to the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres today by M. Samran, who said it had been found possible to read the original texts in palmimpsests—parchment documents—with them.
Many books and scrolls during the Middle Ages were erased by serbes in order to write the records and chronicles of their own time instead. Thus many priceless documents were lost, among which are the missing books of Livy, who was a contemporary of Christ.
By inspecting the palmimpsites with ultra-violet rays, the inferior layers can now be easily read, where before chemicals had been tried and failed to produce results.
Baptists Staging Campaign For Aid to Africa
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 16.—If the nationwide campaign for 1,000,000 quarters that is being waged by the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention is successful one of the most ambitious programs for missionary work ever undertaken by any denomination will be launched in the early part of the forthcoming year. The campaign has been under way for several weeks and, according to reports from here in Philadelphia, Negroes are responding to the appeal in a commendable and gratifying manner. An intensive drive to wind up activities will be made throughout the country, and the State and regional directors will put forth an effort to carry the campaign over the top.
Speaking of the drive, Dr. Davis, national director, said: "We have been very much encouraged, over the manner in which our people of every denomination have responded to this appeal for funds. It shows that we who are enjoying economic independence, at least to a certain degree, are interested in helping our less fortunate brothers in Liberia."
Missionary work in Africa under the auspices of the National Baptist Convention had its genesis in 1850, and each year has been replete with indications of progress. The campaign for a million quarters is being waged to finance an enlarged program of development that is designed to affect and promote not only the spiritual side of the lives of the natives but the educational, social and economic advancement.

Negroes Must Evolve Civilization of Their Own
To the Editor of the Negro World:
The time has arrived when Negroes should bring into play all their energy to evolve a new culture and a new civilization of their own. Over three hundred years ago, much against our will and without our consent, we were brought under the influence of the white man's civilization. After three hundred years of experience every student of modern science can come to no other conclusion than that something fundamental is lacking. Before white civilization reached Africa and the Africans there was no drunkenness, no prejudice, no theft, no murder, no distrust. A traveling Englishman could leave his money bags and 90 miles and return to find them intact. He would deserve himself by thinking that the African did not know the value of money, but this was not true—the African had not yet come in contact with white "civilization."
The reason why there is so much division and distrust among us is because we have no civilization of our own. Hence it behoves us to a race to employ every means in our power to give to the world a new civilization to take the place of this bankrupt, current one.
Present-day society is crumbling and the Negro has an opportunity of doing a lasting service NOW.

"Give Us Back Our Leader" Is Cry from Costa Rica
To the Editor of The Negro World:
It is with a heart, filled with grief
that I view the deafness of the U. S.
Government to the sincere appeal of
pollutions for the release of the Hom.
Marus Carvey.
The United States is called the
Mother Republic of the world, and we
Negroes expect her to live up to that
name. How can she blunder in such
a major matter as this and expect to
exert a wholesome influence on those
less Layed?
If America cannot deal out justice
to a great black man, she cannot be
expected to be just to the humblest
of white men.
Negroes of the world are watching
you, America. Be strong, give us back
our leader and enhance your reputation.

Negroes Now Thinking In Terms of Race
to the editor of the Negro World.
If we notice keenly, we will find the average Negro busy all the day trying to promote his individual interests and little or not at all interested about his racial and national rights. He never stops to think that he cannot go farther up the ladder than where his race is; that he cannot reach the heights of his ambition when his race is not in a position to offer him the necessary opportunities. He boasts and braces of his high learning; that he is breathing the pure air of human progress, when he hasn't a country of his own in which to display his intellectual powers. The truth that an empty tin makes the most noise is plainly revealed by him.
The new Negro however, through the instrumentality of the U. N. L. A. is being truly educated. He knows that he forms a distinctive part of the human family and uses that part competes with the other parts that is so easy, also to nationhood, where everything else is additive—he is so in the background. He is making less noise than the rest of Negroes and accomplishing more. He is now demonstrating to the world that he is a new man, determined to emerge from darkness into light.
More strength to him.

The Negro Will Surely Come Into His Own
To the Editor of the Negro World:
It's a great source of gratification to note how splendidly the members of the 1' N. L. I. A. have stood firmly under the great broadsides of despathetic prepaganda that have been hurled against the association and their indomitable leader, the Hon. Marcos Garvey. This goes to show that Negroes are now alive to their

Magic Shaving Powder will give you a clean, healthy shave without using a razor. It will also remove razor bumps and pimples from your face. Get it from your druggist or department and use as many 20 cents in stamps for a phone call by mail, postpaid, enough for 15 shaves.
interest and nothing that the enemies can do will cause us to averse from the objective.
While the great leader suffers, the association thunders onward, mounting all barriers, continuing to prosecute and carry on the great work.
It is well that the world understands that Nergesen no longer consider themselves the under-dogs for other people. They are thinking, and thinking seriously at that, thanks to the U. N. I. A. and the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
We are fully aware that the redemption of Africa cannot be accomplished over night, but with persistent application of the proper methods, and with the proper leaders to guide the destined of the association.
The slogan, "Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad" is like a variable dagger guck at the heart of the expellers of our ancestral home and we will contend to bring out our slogan, irrespective of who like it or not. Africa, by divine right, is ours. It is our God-given heritage, and by the help of God we will not cease to actuate, we will not cease to tell the world what we intend to chin it, or die in the attempt.
Rome, Greece, and other great nations have perished with their inflicted gains, and surely history will repeat itself. A League of Nations, and more recently a "Security Pact," and the constitution of more deadly and destructive weapons of warfare. What does it all mean? It simply means that the follows cannot trust each other. They have no abiding faith in the promise of their neighbors. It is well that Negroes prepare themselves for the inevitable clash which is bound to comp. I. R. REID,

MAY 11, Dec 28.—Opening that the United States would not be greatly interested in annexing Cuba, "El Sol" local newspaper, in an editorial on the subject today says Cuban patriotism is a guarantee that the island republic will allow no pretext for further American annexation.
Nor will the Cubans permit their country to get into such a precarious economic situation as to force a request for annexation as the only solution of the problem, "El Sol" points out.
If the American attitude were that "big fish eat little ones" or that the mighty engulf the weak, "El Sol" continues, the United States would have abolished reason to impose its will upon the Cubans, even though it is certain the Cubans would defend their interest with "arrest terrorism.
The United States apparently is convinced that only by scrupulously regarding the rights of the weak can she maintain her world prestige, says "El Sol." It remarks that Americans in general appear to consider the United States was unjust to Spain in 1855.
A powerful aid to the independence of the Spanish-American countries, "EJ Sol" declares, is found in the racial exclusion policy of the Americans, who have learned to assimilate only immigrants from the north or Europe who go to the United States with the intention of becoming American citizens. With regard to men of a distant race, like the Filipinos and the Portugueses, the Americans do not know what to do with them, "EJ Sol" says, concerning nevertheless that "in general they treat them well."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1928
Judge Directs Special Attention to It—Some of the Reasons Given for the Improved Record with Hopeful Outlook
From the Norfolk Journal and Guide
Judge Schenck of Guilford County,
N. C., Superior Court, after disposing
of his docket the other day, glanced at
the race designations opposite the
mimes of the offenders, that had been
before him for the term and remarked: "I want every white man in
court to take notice of this. Only
three Negroes have been sentenced
thus fay and were the Anglo-Saxon
race has 17 representatives in the list
of felons. It did not use these
way in the Guilford court room." At
the judge's remark the solicitor was
moved to explain it was that way in
every court in the judicial district.
"In this connection, the Greenshore
Daily News observes: "Yet we doubt
if anybody has any real idea of why
there are more white youths in court
now—if that is the case—or why there
are less Negroes."
Why there are more youthful white
felons before the vouchers of North
Carolina in late years does not add
of a definite explanation, we agree,
in the absence of scientific data, the
most that can be offered in the way of
explanation is the more generalization
that the State, being one of the Amer-
ican Union, is to a natural degree
shaving in the national crime wave
which is now seriously engaging the
attention of the National Crime Com-
mission.
But as to the decline of youthful Negro felons in North Carolina, and we believe that to be the case when her capita is considered, the explanation is ready. It comes down from Raleigh. The Department of Public Instruction, backed by the State's late governors and legislatures, its taxpayers and public sentiment daily afford the explanation. In dealing with the young Negroes, the State's educational system, admittedly the best to be found below the Mason-Dixon line, is winning out in competition with the county sheriffs. The excellent school houses the State is building for every village and hamlet are designing the convict camps of good Negro labor, and saving the counties the expiring of convict board. Self-respect, moral firmness to shun petty crimes, training in the practical art of earning a decent livelihood, ambitions to become worthwhile citizens and to count for something-products of education, all-true more and more motivating the lives of the young Negroes of the State, and, of course, Guilford county and all other of North Carolina will continue to witness a decline in Negro felons. And we know of no agency that has been more instrumental in bringing about better educational and living conditions for Negroes in North Carolina than the Greensboro Daily News itself, thus becoming partly responsible for Judge Schenk's remarks.
And after all, it is probable that the increase of youthful white felons before North Carolina courts in late years is alarming only in contrast with the decline of Negro felons, and not in its disproportion to the same condition in other parts of the country. But when the people of the State admit they are witnessing a decline in Negro petty crime, they are paying themselves the highest possible compliment, and vindicating their own educational policy.

Similar glowing reports come from Southern cities in which he has just sung. The great colored tenor appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, under Leopold Stokowski, in Philadelphia on the 26th and 29th of this month.

Roland Hayes' Homecoming Was Triumphal Event
ATLANTA. Ga., Dec. 26—Roland Hayes' homecoming, a concert in this city on December 18, his first appearance in his native State, was one of the greatest triumphs of his remarkable career. The vast auditorium, where the annual Grand Opera season is staged, was crowded with an audience of five thousand, the largest to, which Hayes has ever sung, the two races being represented in equally equal numbers. The singer gave a remarkable program, leading off with a number of the great classics and closing with a group of Negro spirituals. He won his audience completely with the first number and held it with increasing power to the very end. At the conclusion he was thronged by hundreds eager to say a word of appreciation. The universal vocalist was that the event was a triumph of the highest order, the public and the musical critics alike were most enthusiastic in praise of both the singer's voice and the perfection of his art. The accompaniment by William Lawrence also received the highest praise.
Many of Atlanta's most prominent music lovers were sponsors of the concert, including the head, of the biggest book, the editors, of two of the great daily papers, a well-known millionaire, and many others—both men and women. The colored section of the audience, filling half the vast arena, was equally representative.

INTERESTING STUDY OF WHITE AMERICA'S WAYS DEALING WITH BLACKS
Mr. Wharton Qualified for Foreign Service School Which He Was Not Allowed to Enter—Given Status of Secretary and Sent to Liberia
President Coolidge on Tuesday, December 15, transmitted to the Senate the nomination of Clifton R. Wharton of Massachusetts, to be a secretary in the diplomatic service of the United States.
This nomination recalls the coup of the State Department last spring to rid itself of the only colored person in the Foreign Service School.
In order that American diplomats should be trained in all the skills of international diplomacy before being sent abroad, a lull was passed in the last Congress providing for a Foreign Service School in the State Department.
An examination was held last January. Among the successful candidates for admission to the Foreign Service School was Mr. Wharton, who was already a clerk in the State Department. Only nineteen others passed the examination.
When the school was about ready to start there were objections to Mr. Wharton on account of his color. Here was a diplomatic problem of major importance to be solved before the students had even learned the first principles of diplomacy.
The veteran diplomats of the department were called together in solenin and secret consultation. A diplomatic coup was quietly achieved. Mr. Wharton was graduated forth with. Without taking a day of the year's required training, he was solemnly and officially declared a full-fledged diplomat, given the department's blessings as the first alumnus of the Foreign Service School and sent to Africa. He was given a rest appointment as secretary of the American legation at Monopoly, Liberia. A month later with the only colored eligible safety out of the country, the Foreign Service School began.

WISE DECLARES ALL JEWS MUST ACCEPT JESUS
Rabbi Says, Despite Old Hebraic Teachings, Nazarene Not a Myth—Foundation of Morality Rests on His Ethics
The Jews must accept the teachings of Jesus, declared Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of the Free Synagogue, in an address to a capacity congregation in Carnegie Hall, New York. Jesus of Nazareth is not a myth, as He has been pictured in Hebraic teachings, but was a man, Dr. Wise said.
The very foundations of morality, he asserted, are contained in the unparalleled code of ethics which comprises the teachings of Jesus.
"Because Christendom has renounced Jesus in fact," said Dr. Wise, "shall we continue to deny Him, now that we His brother Jews, are free to face His life and teachings anew? Shall we not say that this Jew is soul of our soul and that the soul of His teaching is Jewish and nothing but Jewish? The teaching of Jesus the Jew is a phase of the spirit which led the Jew Godward."
Now, he stated, is the time to throw overboard the doctrine that the teachings of Jesus are allied to those taught by the olds.
"Jesus was," he said. "I accept this despite the notion I had been led to believe earlier my life—a notion that Jesus was a myth and never existed. I tell you, and I will report these words to every Jew in the world if need be, Jesus was, and we must accept this fact at once."
He stated that strange stories—which have done as much harm as good—have been woven about Jesus as they have been woven about other trans-condential figures of time.

Nazareth," written by Dr. Joseph Klauser of the Hebrew University in Palestine, Dr. Wise said he thanked God such a book could be written, published and read.
"It marks the first chapter in a new literature," he declared. "Such a book could never have been written a few years ago. You all know what would have happened to the Jew who would have dared to express his opinion—based on facts of Jesus a score of years ago. Thank God the time has come when men are allowed to be frank, sincere and truthful in their beliefs." This book, overlooked by the press and handled wretchedly by reviewers who have missed the point completely, is the greatest book of its kind ever published."
Race Purity, an Indian And Virginia Law
RICHMOND—Ray Winn, charged with violating the new race purity law of Virginia, made good his claim that he is an Indian. He had been indicted with his white wife, and records were introduced to show he was born of Negro parents. This was the first of a series of cases arising when the children of persons claiming to be Indians were denied admission to white schools. It was shown that a school was established near the reservation for the Indian children and that the Negro children began to appear, whereupon the Indians quit and sought admission to the white schools, raising the question of race purity. Which resulted in adoption of a law against misrepresentation of blood. C. P. F.
