The Negro World

VOL. XIX. No. 21 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. P. B. 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. ONE thing that's surely good to do when you have a cold, cough or sore throat, is to buy Luden's Menthol Cough Drops and take one every now and then for quick relief. Sold everywhere. WIL. H. LUDEN, Inc. Roxbury, Pa. LUDEN'S 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. By A U. N. I. A. MEMBER 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.

U. N. I. A. Is the Greatest Contribution to the Negro Race for Centuries—Marcus Garvey's Program for a Free Africa for Africans a Priceless Gift to Civilization By G. EMONEI CARTER - Secretary-General of the U. N. I. A. (Continued) As we sit in retrospection and calmly survey the history of the masses, made in the first twenty-five years of the 20th century, we are agreed that each invention, every humanitarian advancement, all inustrial unrest and even religious activities, have been most singularly in the interest of and for the masses. Perhaps this is due to the fact that with increased opportunity for expression is born the desire and determination of the masses to be heard in no uncertain tone by those who have found it convenient to use them to their disadvantage. It is true, and ever to be expected, that good, disseminated in any form, reflects its power and light. Our age has had much by way of light and power. Everywhere are to be seen the evidences of God in man; and as He expresses Himself, new life and improvement come into being. Science tells us that in this first twenty-five years of the 20th century man has learned how to add 12 years to his life; and that jazz played in Pittsburgh, Pa., can be danced to by people in London, England; that the affairs of mankind are to be advanced by the discoverers of Marconi, Edison, Ford and even Admiral Perry. Each contribution benefits all of the common people and proves that naught of good is designed for those who discover exclusively, but must be like its Giver. God, be universal in its benefactions. We travel ax we please from place to place and we are served in the most elegant style at a very reasonable cost. It is no longer a privilege of the wealthy to enjoy the modern improvements for man; but the masses may and do enjoy them also. Retrospection brings many familial faces, who have striven for man's benefit, some with marked degree of success, others with less degree of success, but all pointing to the spirit that will not down, but must be heard in louder tones in the next 25 years of this wonderful century. That black must be benefactors of the world's improvement, because they are God's children, too; and as such will receive the gifts their Father bestows upon the sons of God. When we made our visits to the various divisions of the far West, plenty of opportunity was given us to sit in introspection as well as retrospection; and it occurred to us that no same man should expect that a wonderful civilization of the white race will be turned over to any other race, or be shared equally by any other than members of this race. It is here where the honored President and founder of our Institution proves his value as a leader and sage. For it is true, that is civilization, built up, in a new country with infinite possibilities is to be envied and in some instances coveted by other nations, who are not so fortunate in holdings. It is clear, therefore, that the black man must have a chance in the next 25 years of this century to build, independently, for himself a civilization in a country owned and controlled by him. He must be allowed to demonsize that he can build for himself in the same spirit he has built for others. For it is true that every enabling feature of this wonderful civilization of the white group is linked with the work and skill of the black worker. Let him calmly sit with Garvey and others, in introspection, until he realizes his manhood powers, till he understands that as long as he is associated with others in building great and lasting good, the other fellow will get the credit and his name will be bestowed in this contribution, however important or significant.

It is here we are unlike all other organizations begun for Negroes. Our leadership is a racial leadership, black, and born with a vision of and for black men. This leadership is not uncertain of itself nor inclined to do the biddings of the other fellow, because it is free in the sense that each act represents united Negro effort, free from the contributions made by the other fellow, who gives that he might direct how the gift might be used. We welcome advice and co-operation in so far as it is possible to use these helps without subsidizing the objects for which we strive. We know that the value of work and how it is most fully appreciated by those who work most faithfully. Everywhere is to see seen, in our divisions and chapters visited, a beautiful sign of carrying on in the spirit of Garvey. There is never a ripple on the waves but what some champion appears on the scene and vindicates the spirit of the movement and its undying principles. Sometimes it is some secretly over and against a president. Sometimes it is some president over and against a secretary. Sometimes it is a member in the ranks over and against the officers. But always someone knowing the true spirit of Garveyism and its beautiful meaning—nationhood for Negroes, Africa for Africans, an opportunity to express life in its best form in a place where all influences will point to God and black men; a place where a deed for humanity's benefit, when accomplished, will be recognized by men of other nations and black men credited, without having someone say he was colored, but his father was white. When the next twenty-five years will have been reached, many of us will be made to rejoice in our dreams; for it is certain that our efforts are not in vain. Six millions of Negroes, in the Western world are being trained and four hundred millions throughout the world are being educated to know the value of thought and what internal development will bring to a people who study to know themselves. It is also certain that the close of another quarter of a century can bring no greater affliction than that which we are now suffering. It is also pleasant to anticipate that early in the new quarter our leadership will be restored, with mind much refreshed and full of new ideas for the carrying on of our program. Those of us who are loyal, true and triet, let us redeem our efforts and push on toward our goal. Let us know that "the movement of a people" is the greatest single contribution of the black race in a lifetime and that Marcus Garvey is the greatest gift to black men in the first quarter of the twentieth century as well as the best gift the Negroes have ever had by way of sincere racial leadership. NEGRO ACHIEVEMENT BASIS OF 7 AWARDS WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—To give recognition and stimulus to creative work, the Harmon Foundation, on behalf of William E. Harmon, has provided $4,000 annually for awards for dottinghipped achievement. Seven awards of $400 are offered annually to American Negrens who have made distinguished achievements in various fields of end-avor, and one award to any person, white or colored, for outstanding achievement in race relations.

Pensions for Dead Reporters The government of Chili has passed a law granting pensions to journalists workers after twenty years of service. As we see it, the only trouble with such a law is that too many of the boys are likely to graduate to death before the pension time arrives.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926 Life is as much a twofold proposition as it is a mystery. Its mysteries are hidden, eternally hidden. I believe, from man, but there is nothing, hidden in regard to its two-sidedness, of which every individual, group of individuals, nation or race of people should have a thorough and complete knowledge. Life consists of a spiritual side and a material, side. The breath we breathe may be regarded in spiritual, while the blood, flesh and bones may be regarded as material, but this does not meet the point. The spiritual side of life indeed is represented by our faith, our belief in a spiritual God, as is manifested in our workship before the altar of the church, while the material side is represented in the inevitable food, clothes, shelter and pleasure. "Man cannot live by bread alone," says the Scripture. That man cannot live by the spirit alone is equally true. For example, take two adults, both in good sound health, put into the hand of one a Bible, a hymn and prayer book, place him into a church and secure all windows and doors from the outside and let them both remain locked in for a fortnight. At the end of this time proceed to the church, open the door and a hundred to one you'll find the body of a man, strong and healthy a fortnight ago, lying lifeless through the lack of bread and water—materialisin. Now, proceed to the grocery store, open the door and you will be confronted by a man, not only alive but who will have probably taken on many pounds in weight as the number of days he had been locked in. What does this prove then? It proves that of the spiritual and material sides of life the material side is undoubtedly the more important to the preservation of life. This does not mean that the spiritual side should be abandoned or neglected in any way for no man can live without the spirit unless he live the life of an inmel. Yet he will live, for, as a matter of fact, there are more infidels in this world than any other people if the acts and doings of man are to be considered. The white man undoubtedly has a complete conception of this fact. Hence he has devolved and still devotes nine-tenths of his time to taking care of the material side of his life, while he devotes only the remaining one-tenth to the spiritual side, the posting up of a million and one churches and churches. The revival is exactly what God loves the truth, as far as the black man is concerned. He has devolved and still devotes nine-tenths of his time in attending to the spiritual side of his life, devoting only one-tenth to the material side. This is sad but true. The white man can point with pride to a million and one branches of commercial and industrial enterprises that keep continuously ninety millions of white men, women and children, as well as "fifteen million" pollinators Negroes, in food, clothes, shelter and pleasure. What can the black man point to? From a spiritual standpoint he can point with pride, vain pride, to the fact that he has erected more than 47,000 churches in this one country alone. From a material viewpoint he can point merely to a little grocery store, a barber shop and a poolroom here and there, after ninety years of so-called "freedom" from chattel slavery. Is there any wonder that our race especially before the advent of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A., is looked upon as a race of "flowers of wood and drawers of water" Mr. Charlene Darrow made a very hold, timely and helpful statement to the black man in the Salem Church in Harlem, New York City, on Dec. 13 last. Negro "Bush Bishops," of course, would not, could not, agree with Mr. Darrow, but Mr. Darrow, neverless, is right, and the sooner the blackman is united and organized and take hold of the "bull" by its commercial and industrial end, its horns, the better for us all, for you may rest assured if we continue our attempt at manipulating the "bull" from its spiritual end, its tail, the result in the not too distant future will be nothing short of a catastrophe, ending in our complete extermination as a race who once bonasted the greatest civilization the world has ever seen on the banks of the Nile in our great Motherland, Africa. Virginia Reduces Illiteracy WASHINGTON.—The number of adult illiterates in Virginia has been reduced one-half within five years. In the same time the number of college and normal school graduates teaching in the schools of the State has greatly increased. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction states for the first time the supply of well-trained teachers is approximately equal to the demand. At the census of 1920 there were 195,159 illiterate persons ten years of age and over, 122,822 of whom were Negroes. Nearly six per cent of the native whites were illiterate as compared with 7 per cent of the foreign-born whites and 33.5 per cent of the Negroes. C. B. R. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION Deliver Their Most Inspiring Messages for the Year 1926 THE NEGRO WORLD STAFF begs to extend to the numerous agents, subscribers, readers and friends of The Negro World best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. THOUGHT MOULDS YOUR CONDITION The Power of Thought in Shaping the Destiny of Individuals and Races Disgussed To the Editor of The Negro World: Let me here quote a few lines written by one of America's foremost inspirational writers, Emerson, which reads as follows: "There is no thought in my mind but it quickly tends to convert itself into a power and organizes a huge instrumentality of means." That thought is the power which mounds the destinies of men every psychologist will affirm. Thoughts must of necessity precede all actions. In fact, there are no actions without a dominant thought existing in the mind of the acter. The Negro's hypnotization by the white has been caused by his great commission to think. Many ability to think is limitless, because that is regarded by many scientists as the very life of man. The greatest need of the black man is the development of his thinking faculties. He needs to think for himself, and in thinking he will be able to subject every white man's suggestion to a careful analysis and will be in a position to discover the wolf which may be disguised in a cheap raiment. Let every black man of the world each night motivate this by his duty. Form a mental map or picture of a United States of Africa, positioned with railways, its seas covered with superdroughts, its other lands covered with contented lands, and a continent whose ideal is peace, earth and good will toward man. He he all the more eager to listen to the moralization of the world. The word "imagination" has been spelled to much rubble, yet the introduction of man is the power through which his destiny is being deeply modelled. Honors, in forming this novel image in your mind, you are modeling a pattern on which the creative agent will act and in your own secret will be wrought the condition which was visual.

EMANCIPATION LIBERTY 120 West 13 NEW YEAR English Officer, Acting as Riffian Envoy, Reports Six of Eight Points Accepted—Status of Canada or Australia Demanded PARIS, Dec. 22—Captain Gordon Canning told The New York Times today that he failed to understand the apparent perturbation in official circles over his return to Paris with credentials from Abd el-Krim enabling him to act as intermediary in peace negotiations over Morocco, because last October, before he went to the Riff, he conversed with M. Eldinley then Premier, M. Siege, the Governor General of Morocco, and M. Malvy, who negotiated the French treaty with Spain this Summer. These officials, while not entrusting him with any mission to the Ruffian leader, told Captain Canning they would be glad to learn what peace proposals Abdell-Krum had to offer, and told him the terms M. Palmeloe have in his speech at Nimes, October 2, still held good. M. Palmeloe also obtained M. Brands' authority to facilitate the English officer's trip and similar courtesies have been shown on his return. Captain Canning says he went over every point of the French terms with Abdell-Krum and with his brother and is brinkering back protesting the acceptance of all except two of the eight conditions. These two points upon which Abdell-Krum wishes additional information are as follows. Firstly, commercial liberty will be recognized and assured in these territories, comprising the Rifton and Dudley tribes in a measure compatible with international treaties, and notably in reference to the international circumstances concerning custom questions. Secondly, a portion of the seasront will be dynamical which will be occupied practically by Spain upon the termination of hostilities. The points which Algel-el-Krum says he will accept are: Firstly, exchange of all prisoners. Secondly, full and reciprocal amnesty dating from January 1, 1921. Thirdly, the definitions of an autonomous administrative regime. Fourthly, the determination of the territories to be placed under such regime. Fairly, the determination of the police officers necessary to issue order and security in such townfolk Nevada, truth in arrest and notification to the police CELEBRATION Y HALL READ AND BEWISE The book that every thinking Negro man and woman must read and pass to their children and posterity.

It is understood that Abd-el-Krim will not hear of an armistice until the Addir region is evacuated and that he has, no fears of the offensive next Spring, relying on the difficulty of penetrating the mountain-fastness. Abd-el-Krim asks autonomy like Canada, or Australia—the examples having been suggested by Captain Canning an approximating Abd-el-Krim's desires, and accepted by letter. RABAT. French Morocco, Dec. 22.—Christmas may mean something after all to the French prisoners in the hands of the Moslem Rifflans. Negotiations have been conducted with Abd-el-Kirng to arrange for the delivery of Christmas letters and packages, and more than 2,000 packages and 900 letters for French prisoners have been taken to the front line ready to be sent into the Riff country if the negotiations proceed. The French Union of Mutilated Soldiers plans to send each prisoner a gift of money on both Christmas and New Year's Day. Statement of French Losses Causes Call for Peace PARIS, Dec. 24. News criticism of the state of the army in Morocco was made during today's debate in the Chamber of the army appropriations. Deputy Guy de Montpon of the Régy declined men were still in Summer clothes, of khaki, canvas houses and pup tents in snow at an attitude nearly 5,000 feet. The provision was bad, and the men were obliged instead of setting free tents they had to buy it at auction. The Government announced the casualties in Morocco follows, on knife, 110; men killed, 2,500; of whom 70 were From France; officers wounded, 52; men wounded, 7,300; of whom 150 were French. Amendment of these figures provoked a call for peace from the Left factions, who were placed in by a promise of a till Moroccan deputy at an early date.

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. We should not expect others to spend time an 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." VOTE FOR P. L.

Walker Co., Inc., as a contestant for their trip around the world. In this I am representing the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as indorsed by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his telegram reproduced above. For nearly seven years Solohon Harper, Negro ex-soldier, struggled with the Veterans Bureau. He was indefatigable. Now that he has what he set out to receive he wants to give it away. Last night he proposed to give away his Adjusted Service Certificate (1.221) to establish a scholarship fund to help other youths, regardless of race of religion, to get education. Harper hopes his example will lead other veterans to make some use of their bonus awards. He has a loan and insurance plan whereby the fund would replenish itself. Greetings to Coolidge A year ago things were dark for Solomon Harper. He had attended every school within a day's ride of New York aid he had received no bonus award. Nevertheless, he wanted to send President Coolidge a Merry Christmas telegram. As he lacked funds, The World paid for the wire. All at once things happened, and he received a certificate of graduation in engineering, his bonus and everything he desired. So last night he did not stop with his plan to donate his service certificate. He filed this telegram to President Coolidge: "Disabled veterans and ex-service men give thanks for your Christmas greetings and as 'one of them I respectfully submit the following: "During cold weather men with beneficial and certain other afflictions become worse and their ratings for Governmental aid become accordingly inadequate. If the Government would extend loans to such carez enabling them to survive the winter in comfort, the sums could be repaid the ensuing summer. "I feel certain this plan would not be abused by the needy. Prevention of such a plan would be a fine New Year's gift to disabled men from the President. Yours for service." "SOLOMON HARPER." Talked Away Barriers Harper ran his seven years' obstacle race as cheerfully as the ordinary man goes unstructured. He throw on obstacles. His long sut was talking. He never raised his voice or lost his temper. He talked his way indomitably through all barriers. Solomon's voice became known in The World city room. At any hour of the day or night, the telephone might ring and an anxious, gente voice say, "This is Solomon Harper." The city editor good-humorously hazed reporters by sending them out to VOTE FOR P.

Solomon talked them out of it and consequently looks exceedingly durable today. Disabled by War Service. Harper was discharged from the army March 13, 1919. He had been earlier in the 340th Field Artillery. He got work in a Syracuse foundry, but found war had left him disabled. After a month he started for Camp Upton Hospital. The walk from Syracuse to Manhattan did not scare the indomitable Solomon. But as cold spring morning found him lying in Riverside Park. A policeman picked him up half dead and revived him with hot coffee at a lunch menu. So Solomon went before the Federal Rehabilitation Board and after he grew, stronger entered the New York Electrical School in the fall. After that, when he wasn't in school or studying by himself he was in some kind of school. Doctors told him now he could not live. He worked in Hurlem for $7 a week, then plodded back to Syracuse, and by sheer ingenuity, procured a union card as electrician and got a Job. He had adventures, he was nearly电医救了, he stopped fist-fights between his fellows. He Begins His Education With this experience behind him he was admitted into the shop foreman class of Syracuse University and by November, 1920, had obtained a day scholarship in mechanical drawing at City College in New York. In 1921 he was using extension courses in Columbia. Then he went over to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. There were all manner of impediments, but he managed to surmount them and enroll where he wished to study. Then he went back to summer school at Syracuse, studying botany and political economy. All the time he was in hot water with the Rehabilitation Board for one thing or another, but Solomon Harper always talked his way through. His difficulties led to his being confined in a hospital. He escaped and walked fifty miles, without food, or water, to Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn. The Hospital Commission gave him his discharge and he remained at Pratt Institute.

He crept into the basement of a house on 185th Street. New Year's night, 1923, for shelter, and when he awoke the place was flooded and his shoes were full of water. RUSSIA MOVES NEARER INDIA Dieta and Fe By THE BLACK GROUND NEW YORK VEGETABLE—The variety of vegetable Then, going to Pratt, he studied and slept in the subway, riding up to Van Cortlandt Park and back to Brooklyn. He slept at the President's Street station on newspapers under a stairway. He kept that up three weeks, until the American Legion got him a rooming place. His lungs and throat were weakened by exposure. He applied for the post of junior engineer with the Bureau of Standards at Washington. Not discouraged by defeat, he applied for the position of assistant examiner of patents. In June last year he went to Washington to find out about his rating at the bureau. While there in vain it was reported to the Veterans' Bureau that he had left school and his scholarship was canceled. So his fortune ebbed and darkened until The World paid for his telegram to the President on Christmas, 1924. That was the turning point. But now that he has got all he wanted, he wants to give it away—his service certificate for a scholarship fund and his hard-won knowledge—for teaching and helping others. Real Estate Agents Busy As Court Rules Against School Segregation From the Cleveland Call Following the action of the Court of Appeals, which decided that the contract between the school boards of Shaker and Beachwood villages was valid and binding and that under it there could be no separate school arrangements for the colored children living in Beachwood village, a plan has been set afloat looking to the buying up of all houses and lots owned by colored people in that section. Through this means, it is stated, the whites hope to bring about the "exclusion" of colored children from the Shaker village school. Exports to the effect that all colored owners of houses and lots have already been approached by persons offering to buy their properties. To all such persons the colored people have indicated their desire to remain in the village by their refusal to sell at any price. The ruse, it is stated, that is employed by the agents who are backing the move to rid the district of colored residents is to visit the various homes and state, "I understand you want, to sell your house and lot." According to other rumors regarding the desire of whites to regain control of the district, an attempt is being made to coerce the colored people into selling by picturing to them various disadvantages of living in Beachwood village. The colored people, it is said, are also being told that their property is bound to depreciate in value. Most of the colored residents, however, are fully aware of the fact that instead of their properties decreasing in value they ER TRIP-AROUND- SULAR beauty specialists, have in- and women adjudged the most out on a trip around the world at arations of the Walker Co. and general of the Universal Negro letter, published below, is seeking the Hon.

In official circles it is believed that if the report proves true the action of the Russians will be regarded as a significant step toward fellization of a movement which Russia is alleged to be secretly making toward India. - It is recalled that suspicion of Russia's aims on India was formerly habitual with the British, and that during part of the nineteenth century stories of attempts by Russia to gain possession of Afghanistan with a view to advancing through that country, to India caused frequent excitement and alarm. Diplomatic arrangements, however, brought the scares to an end in 1907, after which, until the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, reports have been constantly received of Moscow's intention, to carry through these territories communistic propaganda of the masses in India with a view to creating that revolution in the East which Russian public men declare is the ambition of the great Soviet republic.

According to the annual statement prepared for Parliament by the Director, of Public information of the Government of India, and just made public, "the traditional designs of Russia, after being temperature suspended, have now been reused in a new and grim little shape, and a flood of anti-British prosecution is being directed against imprisonable petitions on the perimeter of the British Zone."

BY THE BLACK CROSS NURSES OF NEW YORK ANIMABLE—There is an infinite variety of wiggle proteins—twenty or thirty different kinde being known and there are not quite so acceptable to the human body as animal proteins, because the latter undoubtedly cor- responds more closely to the proteins of which our own tissues are com- posed. Not only is this the case but the vegetable proteins are usually in- firmed in an indigestible envelope of cellulose, just as we have seen'in the case of the gluten of whole wheat bread, and until this has been ruptured they are unable to be digested and absorbed into the blood. They are theirs in large measure expelled in the feces quite unutilized and it has been shown that in this way as much as forty-two percent of the nitrogen of the vegetarian's food is lost. Proteins all agree in one particular, and that is, they undergo a curious transformation called conglutation in the presence of agents such as heat, alcohol, and astringents generally like alum and tannin, and ferments such as rennet. The hardening of eggs, the clotting of blood, and the curdling of hulk arb familiar examples of this change. WATER—The importance of water in the human economy is manifest when we realize that quite seventy per cent of the weight of the body is made up of water, and most people find that a glass of cold water in the morning immediately on rising and the same quantity of hot water at night just before retiring are valuable adjuncts to their diet, enabling them to obtain with compatiable care daily evacuation of the bowels.

Mrs. Perry, our lady president, was the mistress of ceremonies, and made a few remarks explaining the purpose of the day. The Juveniles were first on program and contributed their personal interesting contribution. Mrs. Editha Davis, a former secretary of the Juveniles, rendered an especially interesting paper, paying tribute and respect to the leading women of the F. N. L. A. Spirited remarks were made by Mrs. L. S. Momai, who urged the mothers, not to teach our children to think that the white man and his children should have all, but rather that they too ought to have something and look well as anyone else. She further pleaded with the parents to make preparations for their children, so that when they finished school, they would not have to go in other races' kitchens to cook, wash and iron for a living. Hearty applause was given, the speaker. The choir sang, "Oh That Will Be Glory," which proved very popular. The preamble aims and objects were read by Miss Alta Hunter, one of our staunch members, in the person of Mrs. E. J. Hunger, was called for a few remarks. She made a splendid response and received considerable applause. Mrs. Singleton played a very pretty and familiar piano solo. Mrs. Woods, a member of the choir, gave a wonderful address to the mothers. She emphasized the teaching of the children to have confidence in their fathers. The white mothers taught their children that their father could do anything, and they believed that he could, and it was now time that we start teaching our children to believe in their own fathers, and not the fathers of opposite races. Lengthy applause was given those admonitions. A vocal selection, entitled "You" was sung by Mrs. Williams, and enjoyed by all. The president general's message was read by Mrs. Jackson, second lady vice president. Another popular song was sung by Mrs. Gilbert. Miss Chapman, the organist played a patho selection.

A tribune of encouragement was paid the subordinate persons, and those whose names did not appear in big letters in the papers, or as heads of some auxiliary. She said that although she could not do much, she would do all in her power to help put over this program that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had stated. A short talk was also made by Mrs. Dedalh Beasley of the Oakland Tribune.

He arrived in Seattle Wednesday, Nov. 25, and went immediately to the Dunbar Hotel, where he received visitors and representatives, from the division and chapter of the U. N. I. A.

Zion Baptist Church, where, Mr. Carter was introduced to many followers and friends. After church service, we repaired to the A. M. E.

The deceased was the General Secretary of the Juvenile Branch from its organization to the time of his death. He rendered excellent services to the corps in both the capacity of a secretary and as a player member of the band. He was a very intelligent bob and a loyal member of the corps. The ceremony was a very striking and impassioned one. The entire membership of the Dawson attended. The executive officers in full dress with their regalia and headed by Mr. Thomas Ford, the president of the Dawson, followed immediately behind the coffin. The last tribute was paid to the deceased when at 5:20 p.m. at the setting of the sun and as the last moment of earth was being turned to safely probed its gunt, the hymn "There is a Friend to Little Children" was softly sung by the congregation.

MIRANDA, CUBA The Miranda Division has had the pleasure of welcoming back its energetic executive secretary, Mr. J. B. Leyden-Newshome, who after a few months' absence, has returned and resumed his offices in connection with the operation of the U. N. L. A. here. Immediately upon his arrival Mr. Newshome, with the co-operation of the loyal members and friends of the Association, undertook the preparation for a variety concert for the purpose of increasing the interest and enthusiasm which has, hitherto been exhibited by this division. Special assistance was given by Messrs. C. Nelson, C. Blanche, U. Foster, H. Buchanan and E. Williams. The function, notwithstanding its short period of preparation, came off on the night of November 30 and was pronounced a tremendous success from all viewpoints. The program consisted of forty items. It was divided into two parts. The first part was rendered by the juveniles under the direction of Mr. Hardy Williams, and the second by the adults directed by Mr. Newholme. Both sections were ably reinforced by "The Palmarira Gems" (Messrs. Francis and Campbell) of the neighboring division of Palmatta. The assistance of these gentlemen, whose musical ability has made a name for them, was greatly appreciated, as was manifested by the rounds of applauses which they received. The concert commenced at 5 p.m. with the singing of "The Opening Ode." The president, Mr. Joseph H. Ricketts, then briefly explained the object of the meeting and introduced the chairman, Mr. Thomas H. Grant, an ex-officio of the division, and who performed the duties devolving upon him with the greatest satisfaction, Mr. Newshouse presided at the organ throughout the proceeding and from the condition of the first item, "Hail to Africa's Sunny Land," by the choir, the crowded hall became aware of the fact that they were out to have something above the ordinary, and in this they were never disappointed. The recitations of the juveniles were all dedicated to the Hon. Marcus (Garvey and the cause of the L. N. L. A. They reflected the greatest credit upon these youths of the race who so admirably acquitted themselves, and also on Mr. Williams, who prepared them. Excellent reference must be made to the clear and expressive deliveries of Miss Anita Williams, Miss Vioia Daley and Miss Jeilda Beckford. Of the adult series I may be permitted to record a few items which came in for special mention. These included the diac of Miss L. Michaels and Mr. C. Nelson, "If I Had a Thousand Lives to Live," song and chorus, "Taby Mine," Misses William and Daly and the choir; song and chorus, "My Old New Hampshire Home," by Mr. C. Scote and choir; solo, "Open the Door," by Mrs. Elfreda Turner, the recitations, "Burden Doarers" and "Vision of an African Empire," by Mr. Buchanan, were "impressively rendered and merited, the encores received." The super-bit of the night was given to the dialogue, "A Bad Habit Cured," with Miss Maud Pollack, Miss Carmen McIntosh, Messrs. Nelson, Buchanan and Jonathan Bennet. A baritone solo by Mr. Henry, the blues by Mr. L. Sutherland and a ditty by Mr. R. Payne were all enclosed. "The Stolen Heart," which brought out Miss Pollack as the heroine, Miss McIntosh) as the vietnam, and Mr. Jones the valiant knight proved both amusing and instructive. "The Parson and the Student," by Messrs. Sutherland and Carl Spencer, fairly shock the house with laughter. The chairman made the closing remarks, congratulating the promoters for the success which attended their efforts and expressed the hope of seeing a thorough awakening in the division. This was followed by a vote of thanks.

W 385 Lennon Ave. NEW YORK CITY hour fixed for the occasion, the program had to be considerably curtailed. The gathering was not as large as anticipated, but those who were able to attend manifested deep interest in the proceedings. The meeting was called to order at 5 p.m. by Mr. A. Clarke, vice-president, who conducted the religious part of the program. Addresses were delivered by Mr. Jos. H. Ricketts, president, who spoke off a theme concerning men of the race with backbone and what makes for successful leadership as possessed by the veteran patriot to whom we were assembled to do honor, Mr. A. Clarke spoke on "Set Him Free." His speech was delivered in a thorough and masterly manner. Mr. C. Nelson spoke brilliantly in the spirit of the new Negro, strongly appealing for an intellectual awakening and assertiveness tending to promote the welfare of the new nation. Mr. J. Henry appealed for unity, co-operation and flexibility to the cause Afric, and Mr. J. B. Leyden-Newsholme, executive secretary, read extracts germane to the work of the association, stressing its aim and objects, its reflection and the influences it brought to bear upon the nations of the civilized world. The speeches were all bright and inspiring and appropriate to the occasion. The choir rendered select pieces. Among them, special mention must be made of the piece led by Miss Mand Pollack and the condition of the President's Hymn, which received prolonged applause. The singing of the Ethiopian Anthrom brought the meeting to a close at 6:40 p. m. Thus seen, the spirit of our illustrious leader still abides with this division and we are sincerely hoping for success in the New Year. J. B. LEYDEN-NEWSHOLME. Reporter. PORT LIMON, C. R. The usual enthusiasm of the Sunday night meeting at Liberty Hall of Port Limon Division, on November 15 was evidenced by a large attendance. The religious service was conducted by Mr. C.J. Higgins, the chaplain of the division, who preached an inspiring sermon. The program was as follows; Opening chorus by the choir; a duet by Mr. G. Cole and Miss Lena Cox; a recitation by Miss Envodney Williams; a duet by Miss E.

Special mention must be made of Miss Minnie Britton, the former organist of the division, who arranged and directed this concert. This active and useful young woman is doing her best assisting in raising funds for the completion of our apacious Liberty Hall. G. E. WELLINGTON, Reporter. HAVANA, CUBA The officers and members of the Hayna Division of the U. N. L. A. through the medium of The Negro World take great pleasure in wishing all members and friends of the Universal Negro [provement Association a merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. We are also calling upon all Divisions, Branches, and Chapters of the U, N, I, A, the world over to close ranks and spread the propaganda of Gargoyism in every book and corner where there breathes a Negro with a soul and never cease to agitate until the Ion, Marcus Garvey, founder and president general of this great organization is set free, until Africa is redeemed, until 400 million of Negroes are emancipated, until there is a government in Africa controlled and directed by Negroes. It is the sincere desire of the officers and members of the division to cooperate with the Parent Body and all Divisions, Branches and Chapters in every way to put the programme over. There have been many setbacks with the programme, not only with the Parent Body, but with many of the locals. We in Havana have suffered quite a lot, especially in Finance, but as those who know the worth and value of the programme we have left no stone unturned to keep Havana on the map of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are still on the road to progress and nothing shall daunt us on our way to the goal. As it is with Havana we are hoping it to be with all divisions, far and near, that they too will leave no stone unturned to put the program over. We are determined that 1926 shall be the "banner year" of the Havana Division, and not only of Havana but with the Universal Negro Improvement Association proper. The work must be done, and at this Christ's tide, we have only to make our institutions for the year 1926, close rank and file, and go forward and conquer. Let the president general and founder of this noble organization be satisfied with our work and we will be better satisfied with ourselves. Africa is our guiding star. The Hon. Marcus Garvey is our leader and we must make up our minds, irrespective of what context to carry on until our goal is reached, a free and redeemed Africa. We are sending our greetings and best wishes to all Negroes. To the 400 million Negroes the world over we wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, but above all our greatest wish is that before 1926 shall have gone far the Hon. Marcus Garvey will be free. Such are the sincere wishes that we are sending the world over to every Negro. Close ranks and files and help to put the programme over, WILBERT ELLINGTON BARNES. IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR. KAPLAN The Eyesight Specialist RELIABLE and REASONABLE EYES EXAMINED FREE 531 LENOX AVENUE, NEW YORK Oppanito Harlem Hospital 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." $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower In a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and aloe oil, together with several other positive herbs, therefore making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower, actually forcing hair to grow in most obliquate cases.

For Use Patterson Write to Dora Hobbs Manufacturing Co. 203 West 10th Street NEW YORK CITY THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1936 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.

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.

Vine St. Baltimore - Indiana 50¢ Everywhere 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 IKEA Please send me your Society Face Book notice.

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.

"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.

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 drum, indeed, plays a very important part in the life of Central Africa, for to the native it is a gramaphone, an orchestra, a radio, a sygraph, and a telephone in one. Over a region as large as Europe it is commonly used for purposes of communication as Alexander Graham Bell's invention is in the United States. 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 For Your Health!

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. King's Monotheistic Verse "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.

Oh, thou sole God, beside whom there 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.

INSTITUTIONAL BUREAU 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.

White, Publishing Department, 8662 Moneta Avenue, Los Angeles, Calif. U. S. A. Spanish Section Esfuerzos por el resurgimiento de un pueblo débil— Poder independiente para nuestra propia protección La ley de la mayoría prevalecera en toda época— Evitemos su presión constituyendo nuestro propio gobierno—La oposición hacía nuestra raza ha sido anticipada Un próspero y feliz año nuevo: Considero siempre beneficioso el tiempo que invierte informando a mi pueblo, acerca de los planes del programa de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, institución de la cual tengo el honor de ser el fundador, y por sentimiento común esta destinada a mejorar en este mundo que habitamos, la actual situación lastimosa de nuestra raza. El lema de dicho programa se basa en la emancipación absoluta de nuestro pueblo y la constitución de un país libre; un país muy ambicionado por los poderes predominantes. Con tal motivo ellos invierten millares de pesos escribiendo extensos artículos para tener mejor entendimiento e interpretar el verdadero propósito de este movimiento. Pero en la persecusión de estos conocimientos esparcen una propaganda corrupta, la cual tiende a desaquilbrar la mente de aquellos que, con la buena intención, patrocinan tan sano objetivo. Los directores de este movimiento, los pilotos de nuestra causa estan compenetrados de que todo aquello que nos afronta en materia de oposición, es lo que naturalmente acontece en la vida de cualquier organización, en el curso de cualquier causa progresista. Ningún general podria conducir su ejército por el camino del exito, sin antes asaltar las trincheras de oposición; por consiguiente, el maquiavelismo enemigo en nada nos sorprende. Los que patrocinamos y formamos parte constituyente de esta organización; debemos llegar a la conclusión de que la lucha por la existencia y el enaltecimiento de una raza, es incuestionablemente uno de los esfuerzos mas supremos en esta era en que vivimos. Tal estado de cosas es la causa de la lucha tenaz del irlandés por su propia conservación y la seguridad de su status; es la causa por la cual el judío al amparo del movimiento zionista, persigue a toda costa la restauración de lo que légitimamente la pertenece—la denomada tierra santa—la Palestina. Debemos realizar que la gran oposición que como pucblo afrontamos, no se ejercita solamente en una sección sino universalmente; la afrontmos en nuestro trabajo, la afrontamos en los medios de comunicación, la afrontamos a cada paso de nuestra existencia—oposición siniestra en contra de los pueblos y de las razas que no son lo suficientemente fuertes para resistir el ataque, no cediendo un solo paso de su territorio. El esfuerzo de esta institución es simple y exclusivamente por el resurgimiento de la raza a la cual pertenecemos. Sú lucha difiere de la de otros movimientos de la raza porque perseguimos vida nacional, perseguimos la conservación nacional de nuestra propia existencia, en el convencimiento de que esta será la única solución para el problema ante nuestra vista. Toda vez que la raza negra como cualquier otra raza, constituya la minoría en comunidad alguna, inabilitada para mantener su propio terreno, predominarán los actos de injusticia y de opresión. La perpetración de estos actos inhumános incita está organización a esforzarse para resolver el árduo problema, no por medio de un ajuste doméstico entre razas; ello es imposible. Cuando el fuerte ambición aquello que el débil anhela, un arreglo es imposible entre dos individuos. Siempre que tales diferencias existan en países habitados por blancos y negros, se ejercitará la descriminación, se llevarán a cabo linchamientos y no habrá, por consiguiente, reajuste social, reajuste industrial o económico ni reajuste político. Es mi mas ferviente anhelo el que nuestro elemento, por el beneficio que haya de reportarle en el futuro, estudie detenidamente y patrocine el gran propósito de este movimiento de adelanto, único refugio de salvación para esta por tanto tiempo, maltratada raza nuestra. Dabilitemos nuestras energías, cometamos faltas y consignaremos nuestras generaciones venideras al mayor grado de minerías y de sufrimientos. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926 La situación marroqui en relación con España y Francia se limita a las actividades, de personas que se dicen emisarios de Abd-el-Krim. Primero fue el americano Sheean, quien llevó una carta del caudillo a Painlevé, en la que se pedía el reconocimiento del Rif por las naciones europeas, con el mismo status que los dominios británicos. Coutesto la carta de Sheean, publicada en un diario inglés, el director del Comité del Rif en Londres, diciendo que el único emisario de Abd-el-Krim era el capitán Gordon Cannhng, quien salio para Rabat, llevando un pasaporte del comisionado francés Steeg para ir al Rif, donde converso con Krim, trayendo proposiones de paz. Canning ha manifestado que el jefe rífico quiere el reconocimiento del independencia, economica del Rif y el título de emir con resiliencia en Tetuán dejando bajo el control de España Ceuta, Melilla y Laraché. Antes que pasara, por alli Canning, llevo también una carta de Krim el envidio Gardiner, proponiendo el mismo arreglo a Primo de Rivera, quien contesto que cra una gran intolerancia tal propiesta, que el jamaas acertaria. Cuando regreso Canning del Rif pasando por Rabat, visitó al delegado residente general Blam, porque Steeg se halla ya en camino para Paris. Canning entregó a Blanc la carta de Abd el Krim saliendo enseguida para Tetuan donde permaneció hasta que embaró hacha Francia. Durante su estancia, alli conferenció con el corresponsal del London: Times, que acaba de llegar de Marraksh, al Sur Marruecos. Dice que este viaje lo motivo la resistencia de aquella población a desarmarse. La situación de las relaciones hispano-franceses en Marruecos es graje, porque Francia parece dispuesta a concertar la paz, según lo declaró M. Steeg, mientras Española declara que jamás reconocerá a Abel el Krim. En este sentido, se recuerda que el marqués de Estella declaró, después de desembarcar en Alhucemas que no podía conceder la paz al jefe rifeno. Ténese fundadamente en algunos circulos la ruptura del tratado franco-hispano sobre Marruecos. La cámara francesa se opone tenazmente a conceder los créditos para continuar la guerra africana, principalmente teniendo en cuenta que Francia ha recuperado la mayoría de los puestos avanzados que le arrebataron los rifenos. Las parlamentares piden al gobernó aproveite a toto trance la mediación de los emisarios para concertar la paz. Canning, Gardiner y Shecan, se sabe que tienen enorme interés en el Rif, porque han venido dando dinero y armamentos a cuenta de la explotación de minas, bosques, carreteras y un banco en Axdir. lo que les hace necesitar la independencia económica de la region. Todos ellos se han distinguido por los grandes contrabandos llevados al campo rifeño y porque Canning estuvo en tratos con una casa alemana de Colonia para prover a Abd el Krim de armamentos. La cruzada policiaca actual Procediendo con loable actividad, aunque sorprendentemente sólo después de la sensacional denuncia hecha por el alcalde Mr. Walker, la policía está entregada a una furiosa persecución de jugadores, mujeres de malvivir y empresarios de "cabarets" de reputación dudosa. Hasta ahora, según se ha anunciado, solo han caído "peces chicos" en las redes de Mr. Enright. Pero si sus subordinados siguen el consejo de un magistrado—que absolvio a un grupo de pequeños tahures aprehendidos—seguir que la policía visitara clubs elegantes y establecimientos de noche a la moda y habra-nombres ilustres/en los registros judiciales dentro de poco. Todo esto, por de contado, esta bien. Quien puede dejar de aplaúdir la imposición del respeto a la ley por grandes y chicos, por altos y bajos? Pero lo discutible es la oportunidad de estar "cruzadas", iniciadas y precipitadas al impulso de miobras políticas que el público, entreve y que, por consecuencia, quitan decisivamente toda autoridad moral a la sancion de la ley en el caso respectivo. Mr. Walker, Tammy Hall y gran número de respetables ciudadanos, en efecto, han declarado francamente que la policía, bajo la dirección de Mr. Enright y el alcalde Hylan—que dejará sus cargos el dia primero del año—han abierto la ciudad, deliberadamente, a todas las manifestaciones del vicio para desprestigiar y obstrucirmar a la nueva administración municipal. A tal suspensional orgo, responderial alicida y el comienzo de políbar energémiento. De hecho, acusado a Taymany Hall y Mr. Walker de haber estado la inteligencia, de quen los jugadores profesionales, los paseo obstámenes del vicio y sus tensiones, títulos buenos acogida deapues que omenzara a regir los destinos de Nueva York el nuevo alcalde. Que puede pensar el público de todo esto? Pueden, porJo tanto, extremarse ahora las persecuciones poliacias. Su efecto no tiene la transcendencia que debiera, porque la autoridad moral da la "cruzada" esta quebrantada, y como envuelta en dudas que el espíritu popular tiene el derecho de alentar miniratas en las más altas esferas del gobierno de la ciudad se cambian acusaciones tan tremendas como las que todo, el mundo conoce. La administración de justice, la más elevada función del gobierno y la unica base firme de las democracias, está en entredicho en estos momentos en Nueva York, de creer lo que se ha publicado sobre el origen de las actuales actividades poliacias. El alcalde elefto aficia que hay tolerancia del vicio, deliberamente destinada a desacreditar su administración. Y el alcalde saliente lo niega, pero inicia una terrible persecución de los elementos viciosos. Habria habido "cruzada" sin la demencia de Mr. Walker. Habria habido "resurrección" del vicio sin "invitaciones" especiales? El público se encenenta dividido, naturalmente, entre estas dos teorias Cualquiera de ellas es mucho más disdvente que veinte discursos anarquistas o comunitas de los que prohiben en-todos lados rigurosamente. Poque de cualquiera de ellas saca el kidadano la impresión de que, en torno la aplicación de la justicia, de la represión de la delineuencia, se maniobra desenframamente para fines políticos.—La Prensa, N. Y. Basándose en la historia El que los turcos tienen una base histórica bien definida para defender su pretension de que tiener parentesco con los irlandeses, ha sido revelado en un informe acerca de los pueblos refugiados del cercano este. El informe manifiesta que el parentesco remoto entre Irlanda y Turquia se ha encontrado basándose en los veinte mil celtas que emigraron al Asia Menor durante la edad de Cristo; estos celtas procedían de la Europa Central. Después de haber recorrido el país durante más de cuenciones años, se les obligó a que se fijaran en las cercanías de Angora, la presente capital de Turquia. Dicha ciudad era conocida por aquel entonces con el nombre de Anecyra el país de los alrededores fue entonces conocido por el nombre de Galatea. Entre aquellos celtas se cree que San Pablo fundó una iglesia cristiana el cual dedicó su epistola a los galateos. De acuerdo con los informes históricos reciente desmenzierto, el idioma celta aun se habla en Galatea hacia el siglo cuarto. Los inyasores celtas siempre estuvieron en la minoría y por último fueron completenemente absorbidos por los indígenas del país. Todavía se pueden distinguir hoy día las trazas dejadas por la sangre celta en la población de Angora. El color de la tez es más claro que el de los otros pobladores de Turquía, y según dice todo el mundo mahometano, deben la reputación de ser más agradables y divertidos que los turcos de los otros distritos.

Exceptions must never be taken as forcing a rule. Adventure is almost an dare in Nigeria as in Manchester. I could make myself mentally drunk for a month if I accepted seriously the abjuration of the prismatic monthiles. Battle and murder and sudden death; seduction, intrigue and crime; the rankest of humor and the most unabashed buffoonery; They are not Life—they are undiluted Romance. But the tired city merchant, equally with his weary clerk, absorbs these yurns day by day with infinite relish, the while he is shot to and fro business in a tube: Can it be possible that the street dweller has become so vitiated in his mental taste that he demands highly seasoned fiction just as he demands L & P. sauce de tabasco essence, to make palatable his porterhouse steak and his fish and chips? Or are we actually to give credence to the assertion that magazine fictionists present life with the fair of a personal knowledge of what they describe? Are any of these stories relevant enough for acceptance? May it not rather be that one trivial incident of such professional author's private life makes subject matter—kicked out with those ubiquitous bottles of condiment—for a thousand and one magazine stories? "To the stay-at-home life in the tropics may conceivably be either hell or heaven. Stackpoole might make the South Seas a veritable paradise, but Bohun Lynch would reveal them as something skin to Hades. Edgar Wallace and Cutcliffe Hyne would make the Gold Coast as wild as the unruly West of five decades ago; but Sir Hugh Clifford would compare it with New Zealand. In any event, the city-dweller argues, tropical life is "different." Hence it makes splendid material for fictional treatment. Mr. Pimlok is never likely to visit either the Pacific or the shores of Africa, he is content indeed to be hypnotized into a pleasant dream of romantic adventure. To the "Coaster" himself, to him who has genuinely adopted "the life, Nigeria is no different from Soho or Mayfair or the Howley. Both hell and heaven are potentialities of the soul, while contact with nature is the context that makes human life alluring. Just because life out here is "natural," and not adapted to articles, we overseas writers and our tropic home preferable to either London, New York, Paris or Berlin. So it is that the really wise man does not come to Africa to make money, and that to retire to the more gold North. That way lies only nostalgia, discontent and the perestro of heartburning. If the tropical life affairs both his health and his exchequer the newcomer will worship Africa, because Africa stands as one of the rare spots on the earth's surface today where neither nature nor man has been ruined by civilization. Hence we must not blame the magazine writers unduly for their heckling of the reader's perceptions of truth and falsehood. In the work of most of these writers incidentally, the same names are to be met in red, blue, yellow and green, month after month, indicating the immense fiction factors that center about Southampton street and Covent Garden—the elements of unconscious sham greatly predominate over the qualities of purposeful description. These machine-workers all mean well, and they are not too usually paid. They serve their purpose for a generation, which is vicious in its demand for excitement and oblivion. Perhaps they serve it much better than the makers of them—combine forms of sauce pliant which ornament the breakfast tables of both rich and poor. To sum up, the tropics in general and West Africa in particular are no place for business enterprise. I have already remarked on the sigh of thankfulness with which the African learner of his release from the permanence of a "leverhulme" incubus. He was becoming mightily afraid of that transient grocer-soul. Stereotyped effort, fierce application to the job in hand—these were serving to dissipate the entire fabric of tropical charm. Alas! We have now a soap works in Lagos. We are afraid even now that this may prove to be the thin edge of the wedge! Nevertheless, only the fact that freight to Europe on the raw material and freight to Nigeria on the manufactured article is saved by labor on the spot gives equality of value to Nigerian soap that is made in England. There is consolation in the fact: Let the British working-man absorb this phenomenon, and his working day may be decreased from seven to five hours. For the concrete truth, is that, apart from incept hands, the African native realizes labor in the mass to be dependent upon a mental count of push energy and somewhat soulless enterprise. He refuses to comply with conditions that apply to Europe and America. He will not be driven. Who shall blame him? Either London, New York or Tokio may furnish leaders of great and forceful endearment, and they may find labor, pliable enough to adopt their creed. But West Africa asks only to be left alone, to grow at its own pace. In a few thousand years the climate may become colder. That will be time enough, the African exostopulates to erect a few more pyramids under soeful white guidance and pyramids that shall take the form of Sat-iron buildings. But sufficient unto the day is the toll thereof: Meanwhile, clay and wattle are at hand. If funds allow the enviruagance of E superstructure there is ornamental woodwork and corrugated iron. These may be adopted to the needs of the affluent. Brydge corrugated iron and brick our present architectural needs do not travel. (To be continued) WEEKLY SERMON Subject, "Voice of Father to His Son." Text, Matt. 2:15, "Out of Egypt Have I Called My Son." The Son of God had no sooner made his advent into the world than His life was sought by those who were selfish, and sent in Him a supposedly dangerous rival for world honors. And as Jesus was forced to flee, in order that He might be preserved for the time of His ministry, so it is with those who are mindful of serving others unselfishly. Subtle forces and powers always place beyond the pale of usefulness, true servants of a noble cause; but there is concession. In this first thought: 1. As Jesus found a refuge in Egypt from His enemies, so the reformer finds security in the affiliations of the Gospel. The cause of the suffering masses only now and then, has a champion; and when he does come and gather impinges through His teachings, the enemy plans His destruction. But in His persecution there is safety for Him and the cause He serves. God is to be sought, and disclosed in His dealings with men. We can never find Him by accident or chance. In seeking Him we learn of His truth and purposes. These truths and purposes will reveal the strength we possess as individuals and a race. It will open our eyes to the joy in knowing that we are sons of God, and not "worms of the dust," creeping and graveling in the way of the feet of men, ever ready to crush us. It will bring us face to face with our manhood abilities and the true soul urge to have and possess the heritage God has given us, and which is now used, by those who have gone forth and possessed because of their force and power. It will open the eyes of millions of black men and women to their real power and God-given rights to possess their heritage. 2. Be not alarmed, then, if great temptations and disappointments soon overtake you. It has even been thus written: "Do the real work, that benefits humanity. But when these hours come, steed yourself like the Christ and carry on. Someone will believe. Someone will accept your truth. Someone will carry on and spread the glad news of your unfolding. Truth has always fought its battle single-handed, and will continue to do so as long as might makes right; but when love is supreme in the hearts of men, truth will get a hearing and the world will be a heaven in which to live. Our task in the meantime is to take courage in each temptation and spell each disappointment, with a capital "H" and make it "his appointment". 3. The adversary, like Hirel, would destroy his enemy while not young. In the new year just ahead of us, use a parallel in this, through the inception of our leader. The enemy hastily placed him behind prison doors, and thought that men and women of色鸦 would be intimidated and leave off crying and working for a country, in which they could serve caged and mock us citizens of a nation, which would do all it could to protect and conserve their interests. However, truth is not destructible it may be crushed. It may be hindered it may be impeded for a season. But it is designed to live, and when men who are the "Sons of God," will demonstrate the truth of their fathers, made manifest in and to them, the world will know that, black men and women are at last fully conscious of the truth, which has been known and accepted for centuries by white men. 4. Be, therefore, vigilant. In proportion as we are watchful so will our progress be measured. Each stride toward God and our possessing the promised land, Africa, will be reflected in our attitudes of determination and perseverance. As Sons of God, adhering to the Father's voice calling us from America, the Western World and wherever we are dispersed and domiciled for a season, we will go forward to Him and our goal of success. Then as we go we will trust in the guidance and protection of the Almighty. They who put their trust in Him shall in no wise be cast aside. They shall tum and not tire; they shall walk and not faint. They shall mount up on an eagle wings and soar over their Father and His prepared man slons. Truly God has called His sons out of their Egypt (glad of bourgeois, where their forcery were enslaved, and they are responding with zest and faith. The new year will bring greater numbers, who will accept the cell and obey the voice of their Father. Trusting our Father, we can not err nor go astray. Our hopes are fixed. Our minds are riveted. Our conclusions forego. May we gain our坚韧 in the early future. For it is true, naught can stop us, when we are agreed an one man to hear, accept and follow the call of our Father. May Christ's spirit move us in this direction. The Mullins River Lumber Co. Ltd.

Arbuthnot Lane, the noted British physician, writes to The London Times, in connection with his recent visit to America: "These are times when the medical profession of England cannot afford to stand still and lag behind its more progressive brethren of Canada and the United States." He contrasts the attitude of the British medical profession toward the public unfavorably with that of the United States, saying: "What struck me most there was the very intimate relationship and close association which has sprung up between the medical profession and the lay public in the last few years. The barriers between our profession and the public because of the佐治亚 attitude has summed by a section of the medical community fortunately has now quite disappeared in Canada and the United States. The struggle is taking place here, and if a similar degree of intelligence is exhibited on this side of the Atlantic our profession will join hands with our American colleagues in carrying forward the standard of progress in education." By Lane concludes by defining the policy of the "new health society," which he helped to launch in this country a few weeks ago, to educate the public regarding the laws of health and to encourage them to take up intensive education. Wild Pigs Make Nests Of Sticks From Trees Wild pigs make mists in Siam, according to K. G. Gardner, writing, in the Journal of the Natural History Society of Siam. In India, Mr. Gardner says, it is reported that the pigs make mists of grass but in the evergreen jungles of Siam there is little or no grass and the mists are made of sticks. The sticks are all but torn off from the surrounding trees and they every, in thickness from the width of a finger to an inch in diameter. They are piled about a yard high and in a heap, about three yards broad. The pigs tunnel beneath the mists, presumably for protection against rain. Leprous White From the World Magazine.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM 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. C. D. AUSTIN. Cargo De Avila, Cuba. "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. ALPRED S. BARNES. San Blas, C. R. 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. F. R. McINTOSH Central Najasa, Camagay, Cuba. 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 SHAVE WITHOUT A RAZOR 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, Cristobal, C. Z. 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.

Roland Hayes has sung in Utica, Oberlin, Cincinnati, Hyannston, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Louisville and Lynchburg. Capacity houses and remarkable ovations have been the rule in all of those cities. In Chicago, where the audience completely filled all possible space on the stage as well as in the auditorium, Roland Hayes reception was particularly remarkable. 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.

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.
