The Negro World

Go Forth and Conquer Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: As the Yuletide recedes let us take the joy and gladness which the season invoked into the daily round. Let us join hands and hearts and gladly and earnestly strive to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association echo the joy of life and living—make of it an irrepressible and indestructible instrument operating for the common good and happiness of Negroes everywhere. In 1926 let spiritual uplift be your guiding star but do not lose sight of the constellation of material betterment and racial well-being. You must remember that we are living in an age of keen competition, nation rivalling nation, race rivalling race, individual rivalling individual in the great battle of the survival of the fittest. What are you going to do if you make no effort to survive, but go down in defeat and die in ignominious and unlamented death. There are too many Negroes in the world for this race to die igominiously. We must live, yes, we shall live. In spite of all the persecution and opposition, in spite of chattel slavery, in spite of industrial slavery, in spite of social ostracism, in spite of educational limitations, we are bound to survive. Why, we are the second strongest race group in the world numerically. We have men in the North, in the South, in the East and in the West; we have men in the central parts of the world. We have made a circuit of the entire universe. We have the language of all races, of all nations; we know of the achievements of all races, of all nations; we have taken part in the accomplishments of all peoples; we have civilization at our fingers' end; we have been in the schools of adversity and have been in the schools of prosperity for the last 500 years. With a knowledge of the past, the present, and a true conception of the future, we must go forth and conquer for the glory of our race and for the freedom of Africa. The man or woman who has no confidence in self is an unfortunate human being and is really a misfit in creation. God Almighty created each and every one of us for a place in the world and for the least of us to think that we were created only to be what we are and not what we can make ourselves is to impute an improper motive to the Creator for creating us. God Almighty created us all to be free. That the Negro Race became a race of slaves, was not the fault of God Almighty, was not the fault of the Divine Master—it was the fault of the race. Sloth, neglect, indifference, caused us to be slaves. Confidence, conviction, action, will cause us to be free men today. The question that confronts the world today is "Shall you live?" The answer is yes, or no. It is yes for those who have the will, it is yes for those who have the initiative, it is yes for those who have the confidence in themselves, and it is no for those who lack these qualities. LAYING ROBBER HANDS ON THE BREAD AND MEAT OF AFRICA No Useful Purpose Will Be Served by Failure to Concede Justice of This Demand—Must Be Realized That Negroes Were Not Ordained by the Creator to Be the Servants of Others The one cough drop that gives quick relief to the misery of coughs, colds, otorrhh, nose or throat ticks is Luden's Menthol Cough Drops. You ought to try them. Sold everywhere. W.M. H. LUDEN, late Reading, Pa. LUDEN'S MENTHOL Cough Drops The prominence now being given to the discussion of race problems in the British press augurs well for the future relations between the white and colored races, especially as in most of these discussions. It is acknowledged that the colored peoples are not being treated with justice, as fellow human beings, by the white races. At any rate we cannot conceive that after the notice which this subject has received in recent times, the thoughtful among the white races will allow it to remain where it had been in the past. They, at all events, recognize that its solution is imperative and overdue. And it seems to us that we will do their best to arouse the members of their group to the realization of the danger involved in their continued attitude of race superiority and also to the necessity of applying an early solution to the problem in the interest of the future relations between black and white. Since we wrote on the subject last week, our attention has been drawn to a paragraph in the "Church Times" in which the writer indicates the only possible solution to this great problem. It appears that Sir Francis Younghuaub, a well known English administrator and explorer, had written to the London "Times" on what he regarded as "the dancer of talking of equality in an Empire like ours" and had stated that "we know that one man is better than another." Commenting on this letter, the "Church Times" after observing that all men are equal in the sight of their Maker, laid stress on the point that though "it is true that men are not equal in ability or in character in any more than that they are equal in size," and that though "it is quite certain that, there always must be leaders and led, commanders and commanded, generals and privates, the realization of ultimate equality in essentials will save the leader from arrogance and the led from humiliation. And it added that "while there can never be equality in achievement, there can be—and there ought to be—equality of opportunity." This, we believe, is the key to the solution of race problems—the conceived of equal opportunity to all men irrespective of race or color. In our leading article last week we said much the same thing. We said that we admit the superiority of the white races in their scientific knowledge and inventions, and that their acquisition in this direction is not the cause of our resentment. We said that what we present is not the lofty position that they occupy in world affairs but their insistence upon monopolizing that position to themselves by locking the door of opportunity to the colored peoples to rise to their level. And it must be encouraging to our people to feel that an influential organ like the "Church Times" holds the same views and condemns the attitude of superiority assumed by the white races. What the colored races are clamoring for, and will continue to clamor for until justice is done to them, is equality of opportunity since they have faith in themselves that, given the opportunity, they are capable of rising to the heights now occupied by the white races. The colored races are not clamoring, equality in achievement with the white races, which would be a vain pretence, but the opportunity to achieve. This is manifestly a modest demand, but why has it not been conceded? The answer is that the white races have trained their minds to believe that colored peoples are inferior beings sent into this world to minister to their wants, and they have, therefore, set bounds to the aspirations of the latter and prescribed the limits of their advance. The result is that in every sphere of human activity the colored man has perforce to play the secondiddle, and, do what he can, he is always faced with the blind alley. But the tide of color has turned and is resisting with a force that cannot be stayed. Colored peoples have made up their minds that they will not always remain in the position of hewers of wood and drawers of water for the white races, and will struggle for political and economic freedom will be carried on until they have had equality of opportunity in every sphere of human activity. SANTA CLAUS VISITS MME C. J. WALKER'S EMPLOYES INDIANAPOLIS, IA., Dec. 26.—The kiddies were not alone in having a visit from the good Saint Nicholas this year. On Christmas Eve cackle and everyone of the great Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, from manager to errand boy, was informed that his or her heirs would be richer by at least $500 through an insurance policy taken out by the company, with the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N. C. These policies range from $500 to $8,000. The policies issued are whole-life, carrying loan, cash surrender and paid-up insurance features. They were written by Superintendent John L. Lewis of the Raleigh district, and are backed by assets of more than $2,000. Annual premiums on these policies will be paid for by the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. Happy smiles light the faces of employees of the Walker company for their handsome gift from the spirit of Mine Walker and for the outlook for a prosperous 1926. Pastors of New York City Churches Back Drive For Philippine Children NEW YORK, JAN. 3. Pastors of the city, cooperating with Governor General Leonard Wood of the Philippines, have designated, next Sunday as "Guardian Sunday." It was announced yesterday in the campaign to raise $2,000,000 for the American Guardian Association. This money will go for the care and education of Philippine children of mixed blood who have been neglected for a variety of reasons. Bishop Manning has given assurance that the Episcopal churches of the diocese will cooperate, and Bishop Stirres of Long Island has made a similar pledge on behalf of the Episcopal churches of Long Island. Cardinal Haver has promised that the Roman Catholic churches throughout his jurisdiction will support the campaign. The drive has the indulgence of practically every social and fraternal organization in the country. Among the prominent people who are lending their support are Vice-President Dawes, Chief Justice Taft, Major General James G. Harbord, Mrs. Oliver Harriman, General R. L. Bullard and Martin Egan. General Wood has appointed Mrs. Mary Frances Kern, with offices at 8 West Fortishtown, to handle the drive in this country. Mrs. Kern has recently returned from the Philippines, where she made a careful study of conditions among the children. Grand Old Man of Egypt The picketing of Zaghlul's house by soldiers has only brought that aged statesman once more prominently before the public eye. If the tacit British opposition to Zaghlul, which appears to be the permissive condition under which Ziwar Pasha has disregarded the constitution, should be withdrawn, indications are that Zaghlul would be the choice of the country as its active leader—Current History Magazine. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1986 450 Million Francs More to Prosecute Morocco Campaign —Abd el-Krim's Reported Peace Offer Is Refused in Chamber PARIS, Dec. 30.—Abd el-Krim suffered a serious defeat in the Chamber of Deputies today when Premier Britain's rejection of the Riff chieftain's alleged peace overtures was supported and 450,000,000 francs were appropriated to carry on France's campaign in Morocco. M. Britain, characterized Captain Gordon Canning the English Mussulman envissary who brought Krims' offer here, as a man who was looking for copper concessions granted by Krim, but not ratified by the Riffian people. He landed Krum's overtures as insignes. Declaring, he was ready to make peace with the Rifflan people, but not with their tyrant, chieffleih. Ireland added he was not willing to contribute to the maneuver which had been set on foot. Although opposition developed early from the Communist and Socialist sections of the Chamber, the Premier was able early tonight to have Moroccan credits voted by a show of hands. Minister of War Palmelle made public official figures showing that France lost in the Riff campaign, from July 9 to November 8, when fighting virtually ceased, 750 officers and men killed or missing among the white contigents of the colonial army, and £550 from Britain emphasized that France's new policy toward the Riff was one of peace to be pursued with the tribes without the idea of conquest. He clearly indicated France and Spain had reached an agreement to continue war until Krim capitulates. Documents exist, the Premier added, showing Krim's intention to continue war until proclaimed Sultan of Morocco. The Premier's attitude toward Krim is based on the conviction of Paris that the chieftain will not be able much longer to carry on warfare. Spenlssion, to French rule by tribes formerly under Krim's yoke, he stated, had reached large numbers. Methodists Discuss Haitian Affairs and Make Recommendations WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—The Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church (white) at a recent meeting had under discussion the affairs of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and made the following specific recommendations: "(1) The former provision of the Haitian law forbidding foreigners to own farm lands should be restored. At the same time, care should be taken to safeguard the money invested by foreigners in Haitian land under the permission given by the American-written constitution of Haiti. (2) Instead of allowing easier foreclosure of mortgages on farm lands, as is contemplated, foreclosure should be made impossible upon farms that are needed by the working owners to support themselves and their families. (3) Other credit arrangements should be provided for, particularly through co-operative, credit unions. (4) Elementary and high school general education is one of the greatest needs at Haiti at the present time. All additions in agricultural and technical schools should be established upon what now exists, and what now exists should be vastly extended and improved. The present elementary schools in most instances could be used to teach agricultural and other technical arts to children. All of the work should be inspired by the purpose of making the Haitian an independent farmer with the personal sense of dignity and the strength of family life, which this begets. (5) The contemplated irrigation projects should be carried through soon." C. P. B. Why Uncle Sam America gets $15,000,000 worth of coconut oil. 90 per cent of the total it uses; $5,000,000 worth of 'copra (dried coconut), and $5,000,000 worth of tobacco from the Philippines. Copra goes into the 'making of gas masks. So 12,000 soldiers stand watch over the Philippines in the 'interests of Wall Street's business. Five, thousand of these are Americans, while 7,000 are native Filipinos degraded into becoming the flunkyks of the profit rule that oppresses their people. Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Provide a Kare Treat at Renaissance Theatre It was the best time ever! Shrinks of laughter—the laughter of more than 600 happy children—resounded throughout the Renaissance Theatre, 7th avenue between 137th and 138th Streets, last Saturday, morning, when the boys and girls of Harlem were given their Christmas Party by the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. There were movies and musical entertainment and a marionette show and things, to eat and—it was a real party! Through the courtesy of Mr. Charity, the Renaissance Theatre was given over to Mr. Harlen Tuberopsis Committee for its Christmas celebration, And Mr. Charity's, Kindness' did not stop there—for he gave a special showing of "Peter Pan" for the children. Everybody seemed so anxious to help! The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Vixon, was furnished by Junior High School No. 139. The members of Roy Scout Troop No. 776 served as ushers. Si Briant, of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, gave a delightful performance consisting of banjo playing, singing, ventriloquism and a health Punch and Judy Show—all dear to the hearts of children. Just to hear the excited youngsters talk about these health rules at the end of the performance on Saturday, was sufficient to confirm one in the belief that the children really appreciated and understood the "funny man's" health lesson. Perhaps the best part of the party came when a half box of candy, Mr. Chrityt's further contribution, was given to each child, as well as big, rosy apples, tempting and luxurious, which were the gift of Dr. Wiley Wilson, Mr. James H. Hubert and Dr. G. C. Booth. The thrill that comes from the taking of a flashlight picture, rousing cheers, the singing of health songs, and the party was over. Six hundred boys and girls of Harlem are still smiling today over the recollection of that "best time ever." $50,000 GIFT FOR NEGRO HOSPITAL IN GREENSBORO Offer Contingent Upon Public Maintenance—Another Gift of $10,000 for Equipment GREENSBORO, N. C., Jan. 1.—Mrs. L. Richardson, of this city, has offered to donate $50,000 for the establishment here of a hospital for Negroes, contingent upon the city of Greensthoro and the County of Gulford providing maintenance. It is said that the city officials have agreed as to the city's share. The county board of commissioners will take the matter up at an early date. Mrs. Sternberger, of this city, gave ten thousand dollars for laboratory equipment. Negroes will raise ten thousand dollars for beds and other equipment. Jury Race Barrier Balks Extradition PITTSBURGH, Jan. 2.—Refusing to return a man to a State "where members of his own race could not sit on a jury at his trial," Judge Drew today ordered Sandy Hussey, six, a Negro, released. Police had been holding Hussey since December 5 at the request of the Governor of North Carolina, who sought to have him returned to Winston-Salem to answer charges of selling Iquor. Dallas, Kirby, the Negro's attorney, told the court of the absence of Negroes on juries in the Carolina country.

Alcorn, who has called a special session of the Cochoma County Grand Jury to investigate the Lynching Saturday night of Lindsey Coleman, who was seized by a mob and shot to death a few minutes after he was acquitted of murder, is deluged with toilegrams from all parts of the State urging him to see that the Grand Jury goes to the bottom of the matter and indict the guilty parties. Thomas A. Ward, grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi, who defended the Negro, and from whose custody the mob seized Coleman, expresses willingness to tell the Grand Jury all he knows, including the names of at least three assailants. The League of Women Voters at Clarkside is ready to employ special counsel to aid in the prosecution, according to its president, Mrs. Earl Brewer, wife of a former Governor. Ministers Ask Action The following telegram was sent last night to Judge Aleon by the Jackson Ministerial Association, through its president, the Rev. Henry Felker Brooks: "The Jackson Ministerial Association bids you godpeed in your efforts for justice in regard to Saturday's disgraceful occurrence, and prays that the name of our fair State may be saved; Do your best." Fifty citizens of Jackson, including Bishop Theodore Dubost Bratton; Mrs. Henry L. Whitfield, wife of the Governor; President D. M. Key of Millisburg College; President G. T. Millisburg, of Bohaven College, and many lawyers and educators joined in the following telegram to the Clarksdale League of Women Voters; "We approve your stand and rejoice that Cagbama women are active for the right. This great outrage has received the condemnation of all right-thinking and justice-loving Mississippiians. We hope you will have the conduct of the Sheriff fully investigated, and if guilty demand his resignation, and see that all guilty parties are punished." A similar message was sent by the same group to Judge Alcorn, concluding: "Mississippi is on trial before the world and this great stain must be removed. God give you courage and inspiration." Call for Justice L. J. Folz, manager of the State Board of Development, chief commercial organization in the State, sent the following message to Judge Alcorn: "This board during the four years of its existence has done its utmost to present Mississippi's opportunities to the world. The outrage committed against all our citizens fortifies those outside in their propaganda against the State. Our people stand eternally for the right and adhere always to justice. We hope you and the Grand Jury, by prompt action, will have no doubt in the mind of any one that Mississippi are worthy of their heritage, and that justice in this case will be meted out." Francis M. Harmen, State President of the Young Men's Christian Association, sent the following: "As a lawyer and citizen I greatly deplore the outrageous lynching of an acquitted man and respectfully urge that everything possible be done to bring the culprits to justice and vindicate the majesty of the law." Gov. Whitfield has received numerous telegrams from over the State urging the summary removal from office of Sheriff S. W. Glass. The Governor is without legal power to remove a Sheriff. Many telegrams from members of the bar suggest the Governor demand Glass resignation, while others urge him to ask the Legislature, which meets here in January, to empower the Governor to remove a Sheriff or other law officer flagrantly falling to protect a prisoner from mob violence. Clarksdale, Misa, Janr 1—Dr. W. E. Glass, sheriff of Coahoma County, pleaded guilty to "failure to return an offender" and was fined $500 today. He was not removed from office. A charge of failure to perform his duty is pending against him. Sheriff Glass was indicted by a special grand jury which investigated the lynching of Lindsey Coleman, Negro, who was taken by a mob immediately after he had been acquitted of murder. PILFERING PLANS BRAZENLY BARED AS WHITES HASTEN TO SETTLE IN SOUTH AFRICA IN LARGE NUMBERS TO COMBAT PERIL OF "GOING BLACK" Ironical Resemblance to U. N. I. A. Colonization Plans for Black Liberia, Which Were Frustrated by Puppets of the "Pioneering" European MILLIONS BEING SPENT TO MAKE AFRICANDERS OF ENGLISHMEN One Hundred Acres for Each Settler to Be Worked Under Supervision of Experts—Cattle and Meat to Take Place of Gold and Diamonds Lure London.—The days of pioneering in South Africa are not over, writes the Cape Town correspondent of the Times. With the empire, facing the vital problem, of redistributing its population, they may be said to have only just begun. In the nineteenth century it was the settler who wanted South Africa. He landed upon the barren beach of Algoa Bay and built the foundations of many townships in the eastern provinces; with Rhodes as his guiding star, he trekked beyond the Limpopo and claimed for his own the whole of Zambia. In the twentieth century the positions are reversed: it is South Africa that wants the settler. She needs him, not primarily because she sympathizes with an overcrowded, industrially tormented England—it would be a mistake to credit her with too broad a spirit of generosity—but because she is in the peril of facing a fox generations hence unless the pioneers can be found who will emulate the hard activities of the 1820 settlers or the northern voortrekkers. The men who in April, 1820, turned their backs on England and aided for the Cape numbered fewer than 4,000, but it may be doubted whether any party of emigrants ever proved more worthy of their homeland or left a greater impression upon the country of their adoption. They were selected from a much larger number of farmers, artisans, laborers and tradepeople who had been hit by the distress which followed the Napoleonic wars. For every actual emigrant there were ten volunteers. Their plight can be readily understood by the England of today. Their success, too, can be repeated by the England of today. Some of them had means, experience and apprentices of their own and paid their own ocean passage money, but the Parliament of the period granted £50,000 to defray the cost of sending out the majority. Substantial plots of ground were mapped out for them in the pleasant region of the Great Fish River valley and for a time rations were provided for families who felt the pinch. The British Stock At first they mostly felt the pinch. They were pilonsers. They had to fight desperately against foo and stallure—tribesmen crest in and stolen their live stock, floods washed away their allotments and rondavels, crops were destroyed by rust. Their area had to serve as a bullet against the Gallas. But, in the course of years they throw so far as to have established the prosperity of Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth and given those lonely military strongholds on the Kaffarian frontier a homey English aspect which a century of expansion has only served to enhance; and they, founded on the smiling slopes villages which we know and admire as Queenstown, Bedford, King William's Town, and the eastern seaports, which toast the throne, fly the imperial flag, and still think affectionately of London fogs when they converse of home. The success of that ancient settlement scheme can best be gauged when it is said, that the 3,600 emigrants whom it benefited were the progenitors of some 150,000 white people—the descendants of the original families, planted in the areas above Algoa Bay, now number a tenth of the European population of South Africa. It is interesting to think what a difference a few thousand more of the same type would have made to the subsequent history of the dominion. To their work and character three monuments have been erected—two in brick and stone. One is the simple campanile, which surmounts the harbor of Port Elizabeth, the second is a commemorative hospital at Grahamstown, in the districts where the first contingents lighted their watch-fires under spreading euphorbia and banks of gigantic aloes. The third has taken the form of a fresh movement in favor of empire settlement, which is happily growing in momentum—the 1830 Memorial Settlement Association. That body relies upon volunteer effort and devotes its disinterested energies to the acquisition and old of emblem types of epigraphy. It has already transferred to South Africa more than 1,000 bpm, who have been placed with established詹蓉 in the Union for a pure application and helped to bring their ancient rights. The work done so far represents a total investment of approximately 11,000 bpm. Together these four of the third group are of such size that they have brought them into the hands of the association. have elected to return to England. A few others have gone lower to non-agricultural occupations in the country. The great remainder have purchased land and are launched upon life as South African farmers or are still under tuition with recognized husbandmen or at Government agricultural colleges. Men are at present going out at the rate of forty a month, and there are a certain number—perhaps a hundred in all—who are looking around before making up their minds where to settle. In the last few months certainly, according to local report, a more experienced and satisfactory type of emigrant has been going than ever before. Training Farms Plan Two training farms are in process of being established under the association. One is to be in the Cape province and one in the Northern Transvaal. Between them they will eventually turn out every year at least 200 irrigation and general farmers. The method of attracting the pupils which the two centers will accommodate should not differ in its essentials from that employed in the last five years. Each applicant is required to have a capital of £1,500 and a good character. By way of exception, would-be tenant farmers who have been reared in a rural atmosphere and already possess a knowledge of agriculture are required to take with them a capital of £800. On training farms, which will be guaranteed against loss, land will be parcelled out to the newcomers in blocks of 100 acres each, which they will work under the supervision of experts against payment of 4.5 a month, to the board. No mahays will be engaged on the farms except as cooks, waiters and herdsmen, so that the mahays may learn and practice the whole business, of land cultivation from the bottom up. In the Northern Transvaal training will be devoted to general farming as well as cotton; instruction in the Cape province will center chiefly in irrigation farming. It is not intended that the dependents of married settlers should live at the training farms during their period of tutelage. The farms will be situated within a (Continued on page 3) For Weak and Run-Down Men I FOUND GLANT-OX MOST EXTRAORDINARY Says a Nosed Vienna Scientist, Dr. Johanna Yee Zimmer Triangle Laboratories, Inc. 1303 Batcom Ave. Pronx, New York Gentlemen. ```markdown ``` My congratulations for your product, Glant-Ox which in its very early in gland therapeutics.

THOUSANDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC FOLLOWERS ACCLAIM PRESIDENT GENERAL GARVEY ON DAY SET APART TO DO HIM HONOR LIBERTY HALL CROWDED WITH LOYAL MEMBERS WHO CHEER AT EVERY MENTION OF HIS NAME SECRET OF SUCCESS OF U. N. I. A. LIES IN ITS GIFT TO NEGROES OF, A REAL OBJECTIVE WORTH SACRIFICING FOR LIBERTY HALL. New York, Sunday Night, January 3.—Tonight found Liberty Hall crowded to the doors with enthusiastic followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who gave indications that the year 1926 shall not find them lagging in their support of the movement and their leader, Marcus Garvey, but that with the dawn of the new year has been ushered in a renewed effort to push forward the movement and bring it nearer and nearer the goal of a free and redeemed Africa. This being Garvey Day, there were the usual manifestations of loyalty to the imprisoned leader, shown by vociferous applause whenever his name was mentioned. Readings and recitations in which Marcus Garvey's imprisonment and his indomitable leadership were the themes were rendered by several members of the juvenile units of the New York Local, and wildly cheered. These, together with songs dedicated to Mr. Garvey and rendered by the choir, lent a patriotic air to the meeting and gave the definite impression that Hon. Marcus Garvey, though absent from his flock, holds a place in their hearts that neither time nor title can efface. G. A. Weston, Vice-President of the New York Local, presided over the meeting, and his landable references to the work and achievements of Marcus Garvey were able supplemented by Mr. Wesley McDonald Holder, Second Vice-President. MR. W. McD. HOLDER SPEAKS. Today beam tharley Day! we find that a great spirit of enthusiasm is now has emboldened Liberty Hall. on the minds of every man and woman in this audience I fancy I seek a mental picture of the time when we started out to proclaim to the world that we are out to fight: to make Africa our own. Topight our minds and thoughts are transported to Atlanta Pententient, where the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the greatest leader Negroes have ever had, is confined behind prison bars in order that the gaze which he has so joyfully championed may go forward to victory. In spite of that there are aboad men who are endeavouring to blacken his reputation. But we are asking the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time to stand together and follow a leader that has the courage of his convictions to tell black men to stand up and face the world and fight for their freedom. There are other Negro organizations who thrive on the lynchings and burnings that are inflicted upon this race of ours. Those organizations succeed when something happens to the Negro; Let There Be More of GARVEY SPIRIT New York City Is Starting BIG NEW YEAR REVIVAL AT LIBERTY HALL 120 West 138th Street To Muster Up the Old, Old Spirit of the U. N. I. A: for One Whole Week, Starting With a Big Reunion Meeting Come one, come all, and let us hail GARVEY191M in its original form.

A house will sell their bush will sell their powerful it is used to burn so as it might in Chinese upper Egypt, the city of Egypt. but the Universal Negro Improvement Association has supported because it has given to Negroes an objective aim. We are at this time fighting for governmental and political autonomy, and nothing in this world shall prevent us from achieving that great objective. Tla Africa Is Redeemed "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest organization the world has ever seen, and it is moving on like a mighty forest-fire black men who make up this organization are telling the world that they shall fight on until Africa is redeemed. Some cities say that our plans have changed, but we are telling the world that at this time our aims are the same as when we started in 1915, namely that we are fighting for a free and redeemed Africa. Once upon a time Negroes thought of Africa as a place where smokes kissed and babies growled, as a place where nothing but savages existed. But today, thanks to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we think of Africa as a land, of wealth, as the land where our Lord and Savior sought refuge when He was being persecuted. We think of Africa today as the garden spot of the world, and this change has come about because Marcus Garvey came on the scene. Before Marcus Garvey and this movement came on the scene Negroes interested themselves only in the things that affected their particular locality. Negro politicians applied themselves to politics only in their own particular ward; Negro newspapers wrote articles on matters affecting only their particular community. But today we find politicians concerning themselves; with national and international politics; we find newspaper writers writing not only on matters affecting their city or State, but articles dealing with international questions. We thank God for Marcus Garvey, and we play that the world may produce some more Garvees. We need men who are not afraid to tell the world what they think; we need men with backbone who will make the world realize that 400,000,000 black men are in the world and must be rocked on with. We appeal again to the members to stand by this great movement; support the Hon. Marcus Garvey, because he is the only real leader of Negroes living today. Marcus Garvey behind prison bars is not a coward; he is fighting there even as he fought from the platform of Liberty Hall and from the headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to put this program over, and it is for us to stick together and forever keep the name of Marcus Garvey before the world; and we can only do this by keeping intact the organization which he has left us. We are calling upon every man and woman to stand by this movement and give the lie to the enemy. It is our movement. If this movement fails it means the failure of every black man. Therefore let us fight on unitedly for the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of the race all over the world.

At least two dozen requests have been received by the Legislative Bill Drafting Commission to draw up measures extending the life of the emergency rent laws, which expire next February, anywhere from one month to two years; the bulk of the requests being for the latter period. And as the tenants, particularly in New York City, are mobilizing for an extension of the laws, the landlords and realty companies are organizing for the greatest effort they have ever made to have the laws die and stay buried. There were reports reaching the Capitol today to the effect that some really companies might attempt to interest bankers and banking syndicates in their effort to get the powerful banking influence behind the movement to kill the renters, as they are usually called. In view of the situation there was some talk today that a compromise might be offered under which the less dramatic provisions of the rent laws should be retained by reenactment of those portions compelling the bankers to furnish a duplicate house service, heat and reports. The other portions of the laws which prohibit eviction except for owner's occupancy or destruction of property, and which also provide that the assessment on property might be set up as a judicial defense in real action, under this proposal would then be allowed to die. But the whole question contains so many angles that have not been fully developed at this time that it is impossible to say whether a compromise stands any chance of adoption. From how it seems almost certain that the majority of New York tenants will not be satisfied with anything except continuation of the entire laws. The demand from up-State cities for continuation of the acts has been beging for the last year, the building plhed in most of them having been practically eliminated. But the State Housing Commission has been conducting a housing survey and inquiry into the situation for several months past, and its recommendations have not yet been made public. Legislative action may depend, to some degree, on what that consultation reports. Rent stabilisation of various kinds will be investigated on the opening day of the session, according to present plans. Stanley Baldwin's Son Not Denied Entry Here LONDON, Jan. 4. Oliver Baldwin, Socialist son of the Conservative Prime Minister of Great Britain, is reported to have canceled a lecture tour of the United States because there was some question as to his admission to that country. Baldwin's American agent is said to have advised him that he might, be denied a visa because of his political views. "English" commented Oliver, "all I intended to talk about was Armenia." WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—State Department officials deny the United States Government refused to admit Oliver Baldwin, son of Prime Minister Baldwin of England, to this country on a lecture tour. The report that the young Socialist had been denied entrance was branded as "propaganda" by a State Department official. No one is so accursed by fate, No one is so utterly desolate.

Die Sorge ist die Pflicht die CRISIS MUNICIPE Die Sorge ist die Pflicht die Survey Shows 46,540 Patients Issued, Against 43,970 in Previous Record Year of 1916 The greatest era of invention this country has ever known is shown by the number of patents issued in 1925, when more were granted than in any year in history, according to Orson D. Munn, senior member of Munn & Co. patent attorneys. In 1925, 46,540 patents were issued, says the company's report of a survey. "This compares with 42,554 patents issued in 1923, and even exceeds the two biggest years in the history of the Patent Offices 1916-when 43,970 patents were issued, and 1915, with 43,297 issued." Commenting on the report, Mr. Munn said: "Patents are the most accurate index of industrial activity that I know. As a barometer of business I believe they are far more reliable than the price of C. S. Steel stock." "There are a number of reasons for the record number of patents issued in the last year. One is the increase in population; other things being equal, more people there are, the more inventors we have among them. Another reason is the number of inventions we have behind us. Each invention which is made public within it the needs of further inventions—the telephone, radio, automobile, the photograph and every other pioneer invention opens the door for unlimited development and countless improvements." The present smooth-washing collection of the Patent Office is another factor. Long standing cases have been disposed of and there is a more satisfactory condition than we have had for years in the time clapping between the timing of an application and the issuance of a patent. None of these causes however, is adequate to account for the unusual activity in patent circles made in 1925. More important still is the wave of prosperity now sweeping over the country. One of the best signs of such prosperity is that as the year drew near its close, patents were being issued in the rate of more than a thousand a week. Such activity means not only that our prosperity is here now, but that in every life into which invention enters there is every prospect that this industrial growth will increase and that funds for the development of new ideas already are in sight. In other words, the signs in the field of invention point to still greater general prosperity than we now enjoy." PILFERING PLANS IN (Continued from page 2) few miles of townships. Accommodation for families could be arranged in the towns, and the settler might go out to his wach, daily or might visit his family at work ends. "Practical Pioneering" Such will be the existence of the new pioneer in South Africa—a career mounted on plain and practical lines, unramatic, lonely at times and without injuries, but without the stern anxieties of the Vontrekskies, English and Dutch, whose lives were not their own and whose lands had not the protection of seas. There must be infinite compensations in the gradual building up of a permanent home on the operative of the Karroon or the Veld, on ground never before shaped by human hands. The straining to South Africa is still inclined to think of her wealth in terms of minerals. 'Cattle and wheat have not the same romantic appeal as sparkling diamonds and burnished gold. The tapping of springs, the improving of pastures, grains and fruits, the converting of a wilderness into a garden. Yet no phase of African history is more striking than the conquests made by Dutch and English pioneers, whose strugles to make two blades grow where one had grown before alternated with grim fight against Bantu invaders. And the products of the soil will outlast the products of the mines. Deposed Hadjaz King On Way to Bagdad LONDON, Jan. 4-Former King Hussein Ben All, who recently, indicated when defeated by the forces of Ibn Saadu, Sultan of Neld and leader of the Wahabi tribesmen, has arrived at Bombay from Jeddah on his way to Bagdad, says a despatch to the Daily Express from Bombay. All was without money. He was compelled to borrow from friends to enable him to continue his journey to Bazaar. The correspondent says it is understood that All had a large credit in a Bombay bank, but that this bank was closed when he arrived. What worried him most, however, was the disappearance on his voyage of three costly enveloped sleeping curtains. Therefore he was compelled to sleep under his rug. The correspondent does not give the date of All's arrival in Bombay, but apparently he has now gone to UNEARTH RELIGS 5,000 YEARS OLD IN MESOPOTAMIA PHILADELPHIA—Jan. 3—Objects nearly 5,000 years old have been unearthed by the joint expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum and the British Museum to Mesopotamia, encouraging the archaeologists in the hope further excavations will bring further material for a complete history of man's first settlement in the Euphrates Valley. A report from C. Leonard Weoley, hold director of the joint expedition, made public tonight by Dr. G. B. Gordon, director of the University Museum, said the first month's work of the digging season at Ur had been unusually rich in important discoveries and has taken us straight back to the earliest times. The expedition is working in the southwest corner of the "sunset area" on a site believed to be that of the palace of Dungal. King of Ur In 2250 B.C. and which had been partly excavated in 1551. Many numerous graves, dating a period between 1000 and 1200 B.C. were unearthed and the great Temenos wall of Nebuchadnezzar was found well preserved. In one of the tattered remnants of the mud-brick wall were found boxes of burnt brick, each containing a stone tablet inscribed with the name of Dungal and the dedication of the building, and a copper statuette of the king represented as carrying on his head a basket of mortar for the laying of the first brick. "Another object, rather than the copper figures," said the report, "turned up in the loose rubble filling between the walls. It was a modern doortie statue of the king, with inscription on his back, a squall statue and headless, but the rest of the kind yet known, and, better still, the head of a statue of a goddess—probably Natalia, the Moon, God's wife—dating from the same period, the third dynasty of Ur. Masterpiece of Sculpture "This small head, carved in white marble, shows Sumerian art in a more attractive guide than does any other object known to me. The modeling of the features is soft and lifelike and an extraordinary expression of vitality is given the eyes, which are inbuid with shell and laps izazul. The car, originally painted black, is very elaborately generated. It is a real masterpiece of ancient sculpture. "The Dunga building lies on a high artificial terrace and to its height is probably due the name K-Hrissag, the House of the Mountain, which is far older than the third dynasty of Ur. Around the drains which pierce the terrace levels we find pearce like that of the first Ur dynasty and inscribed tablets which date back to the fourth millennium before Christ." On a neighboring site were found what appeared to be dwelling houses attached to a large temple. Under the flair of one of the pottery pots, stone vessels, gold books with sweet settings and pendants of silver filigree and half of an alabaster relief carved on both sides were dug up. "The alabaster relief represents a boat fashioned out of regals tied together, with an arched cabin antipships. On one side is a man standing and in the cabin are a boat and a snares, while the other side are two fish. Dr. Wooley and this object probably illustrated this life, of the people in the marsh districts of southern Mississippi not later than 3000 B. C. "Then a foot or so further into the rubish," said the report, "we came upon the main land. Lying together each other in the soil and absolutely intact were two statues of rains. They were carved in white gypnum, sixion inches high. Only the four parts are sculptured, the body tapering off to a formless block. As there is a hole through the body of each which would well take a nail they were, perhaps, the supports of a throne—the throne of the god Ea of Egyth, whose symbol was the ram. 'Fan,' he explained to attribute the ram to 3000 B.C. or rather earlier."

This is the contention of the Emir Saleh Seyd, grandson of Abdul-Kader, who fought against the French in Nigeria and one of the most influential chiefs in Syria, as expressed to a special correspondent of La Matthi. It is in reply, to High Commissioner de Jouvenel's report that the Syrian uprising grew out of intrigue and fear among the trigonal chiefs. M. de Journeuve's report said there were no fewer than four candidates for the throne of Syria, one of them the Emir Said Bay. The others were said to be Igeine Loufiahah, son of a rich merchant of Cairo; Shereef Abdul-Melid, son of the former Sheerof of Mecca, and Abbas Rihul Pasha, former Khilifah of Egypt, who was dethroned by the British. The Emir Said Bay was declared in the report to be the only one of these pretenders who expressed friendliness for France and refrained from open opposition or hidden intrigues. This friendliness, however, does not prevent the Emir, according to the Madin's correspondent, from establishing the administrations of Generals Goumand and Sarrall. It was like bacarat with these two military chiefs, he said, General Goumand camped on the Christian card, while General Sarrall staked his chances upon the Mussolini trumpet. Native Mogul chiefs who under General Gouraud were hunted down and threatened with swinging from a scaffold at the end of a bamboo rope lived to have their necks encircled by the crave of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor when General Sarrail ruled at Beirut. Christian leaders who had enjoyed favor under General Gouraud were sent to jail and displeased of their property by Sarrail, the Emir declared. "What can be done now?" asked the interviewer. "Your new High Commissioner," replied the grandson of Abdul-Kader in an impressive tone, "should call upon a chief who has soigne real influence and authority over the tribesmen." "For instance?" queried the correspondent. "Me," shouted the Emir, drawing himself up to his full stature of 6 feet 2. Indians Protest Cruel Persecutions in Africa CALCUTTA, Dec. 23.—A deputation of South African Indians have arrived in Bombay. In the course of an interview the leader said: "We have come to seek the intervention of the Government of India and the Indian Nation for the unjust and cruel persecution to which the Indians are subjected in South Africa since the time of the Boer War, and which ceased only during the Great War. We are going to endeavor to pounce India." The Necery is to receive the deputation in Calcutta, an Saturday, which date, it is noteworthy, he will hold the second meeting of his executive council since he arrived in Calcutta.

WE FACE THE FUTURE THE hour is big with sooth and sign, with errant men at war, While blood of alien, friend and foe, imbues the land afar, And we, with sable faces, pent, move with the vanguard line, Shod with the faith that Springtime keeps, and all the stars opine. A FORWARD LOOK INTO THE OPENING YEAR THERE is always something disquieting in looking backward over the way we have come, because we never feel that we have got out of the past all that we should. Something has eluded us. Something has been denied us which we greatly desired, not because we did not strive faithfully and valiantly for it but simply because we could not grasp and hold it. It always had the substance and semblance of a mirage—provoking, tantalizing, but always beckoning us on and holding out the hope that we should clutch and hold and own it, as ours for a possession. And as the years multiply, as the years come and go, we feel increasingly that we have missed something, that something we aspired to has eluded us, and this keeps on until the things we have missed in the dead years wear us down imperceptibly and we go out into the shadows, hoping against hope that what we have missed we shall find in the new and better life, "the substance of things not seen but hoped for," which is the essence of Faith. And so we take a forward look into the opening year, weighing the hopes and disappointments, the joys and the sorrows, of the past year, with the buoyancy of youth, striving that we shall find in the living what escaped us in the dead. It is this attitude of the mind that carries us forward, holding us up in the most trying experiences and enables us to get as much out of life as we do. It is the spirit opposite of despair, the thought that what will be will be, without effort on our part that it shall be as we will. The social organism is held together and kept going forward in conquering the forces of nature to the uses of man by the high spirit of seeking and striving rather than despairing and trailing. Frederick Douglass followed the North Star out of slavery and by heroic striving helped his race to obtain its freedom and carved his name on the monument of fame where it will remain forever. Marcus Garvey, dreaming of a united Negro race and a redeemed Africa, went about his work in such a way as to arouse the sleeping millions and to make a place for himself by the side of the great thinkers and reformers of the age. What Frederick Douglass accomplished any black boy can strive to accomplish. What Marcus Garvey planned and organized into a working force to arouse and enthuse millions of Negroes, any black boy can strive to do. In every avenue of thought and effort "the harvest is rich but the laborers are few." Those who see and grasp the opportunity take Shakespeare's tide at the flood and go on to fortune. They grasp the conditions in the present and measure results by works that live in the future, and mankind rises up and calls them blessed. It is wisest not to look beyond the year in which we live, except to think and to labor; it is well always to look beyond into the future years, for the results of the thinking and the labor in the present year. The average person does not give much thought to the future and how he may shape it; he simply goes ahead seeking to shape his dreams into facts in his own life and that of his fellows with whom he has contacts of all sorts. Millions working in this way make for results that influence the destiny of the world, because the master thought moves them all in the same way and brings forth at the psychological moment the man who will embody the thought and give it voice or action, as the case may require. It was that way with Frederick Douglass in crusading for the abolition of slavery. It is that way with Marcus Garvey crusading for the unification of the Negro peoples of the world and the redemption of Africa. All of us can crusade for something grand and noble, and we may find that actuating purpose in the smallest as in the largest things necessary to be done. No chain is stronger than its weakest link; no race is weaker than its strongest man. The least among us may be, and prove himself to be, the greatest. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and look backward over the past year with satisfaction, because they have "keep the camp fires" of the association "burning," and they can look forward to the present year because of the necessity to keep the work of the association in the high place it has reached and to go forward the good work towards "the consummation devoutly" we prayed." remain the playthings of the strong and lawless who might desire them. It was this spirit of despair which has sent thousands of Negroes out of Mississippi in the past ten years into other and untried sections of the country. By DR. B. & HERBEN off the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association For some time there have been influences at work in the South and in Mississippi looking to the discrediting of the mob and lynch law, and it had a chance to assert itself recently when a mob at Clarksdale took Lindsay Coleman, who had just been acquitted, and lyched him while he was yet in the custody of the officers of the law. The lawless act provoked the wrath of Judge Alcorn, who demanded that the grand jury be convened to investigate it. To this demand the people of Mississippi responded with wonderful accord; including the governor of the State and his wife, and the wife of a former governor, a bishop of the church, chambers of commerce; and other influential bodies. Drops a Pearl in a Wine Glass A wager had been made. Cleopatra had boasted that she could give Antony, a dinner that should cost ten million secretes, surpassing all others in its extravagance, and luxury. He had promised a kingdom to her, the land of Tyre and Sidon and Lebanon cedars and inestable treasures. The night came. The palace banquet hall was lighted by torches and flames from silver tripods. The table was held with gold plate and the flowers of Egypt were gorgeously displayed. The guests were agile with anticipation which met with a check when the rulers entered. For Cleopatra, the magnificent, was more simply dressed than was customary. "Only her jewels attracted attention." She wore but two. They were two priceless pearls which hung from her ears on golden threads. Lorce, of perfect outline and exquisite color, these pearls won exclamations of wonder. A prayer has gone up from the organized. Christian churches that we may have a lynchship year for 1926, but we shall not have it unless judges and grand juries and public opinion insist that law enforcing officers do their duty. SOUTH AFRICAN WHITES CLAMOR FOR MORE WHITE SETTLERS THE white rulers of South Africa, who are but a drop in the bucket to the vast millions of blacks in the country, have for some time been disturbed by the rising tide of native for some time been disturbed by the rising tide of native discontent and organized protest against the oppressive and humiliating conditions imposed upon them. They appear to be more disturbed at this time than formerly, when Premier Jan Christian Smuts, in retiring from office, warned the whites that the natives no longer regarded them as "gods." The New York Sun has reproduced a long article from the London Times in which the need of white settlers in South Africa has become more urgent than ever, if the whites are going to continue to dominate and rule the natives. An organized effort is being made to get white settlers from the home country, some 1,300 men having been recruited at a cost of some $15,000,000. But the thrill of any unsurpassed banquet was missing. The evening was not extraordinary and Antony chided the Queen for not having fulfilled her promise. She, then called her cup-bearer and told him to refill her golden wine 'cup. "When I have drunk this my wager will be, won," she said, and to the horror of everyone she housed 'one of the pearls and dropped it into the foaming wine where in a moment it had dissolved. "Slowly she drained the cup and ordered it filled yet again, and began to loosen the other. Now incomparable, pearl. Antony seized her hand crying that he admitted his defeat, and entracting her to spare her jewel. Years later when fortune turned against them and this beautiful woman had lost her kingdom, and Antony was dead, she let a shake poison her and Octavius the conqueror found that "other pearl" lying like a tear on her breast. The tendency among the white English and Dutch settlers of South Africa appears to be to negative as far as possible the native as a man and to regard him only as a working machine, to be owned and operated legally by the white rulers of the land. The tendency has grown, but it has met unexpected opposition from the natives, who have organized and are making themselves felt and heard, through the National African Congress and its organ, The African World, and other native organizations. The principles and the slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have taken deep root among the natives of Africa, and the good work is being systematically spread abroad among the natives, not only in South Africa but in the outlying territories, so that the awakening is becoming general, and so alarms the white rulers of the land that they are clamoring for reinforcements from the homeland. And they do not seem to be getting what they want in any very great numbers. What do we win when we drink what we drink and eat what we eat? We win life or death. Not kingdom famous for oriental carpets, jewels, and carved woods, but time to study and enjoy such beauties as we are capable of appreciating. We win not cities but maturity with which to create other lives, and homes and all the gracious influences, which makes this world a goodly place. We win our happiness as all those two whose love story has survived the centuries and if we are wise we win three quarters or more of a century before we lay us down with eyes forever closed. Africa for the Africans! That is the slogan, and it is beginning to be preached and heard all over the Continent of Africa; and the white usurpers and oppressors of the natives are beginning to hear it and to be afraid. The native African has begun to stretch forth his hand. Who shall say that that which we eat and drink is of less worth than the priceless heart of the Egyptians? What do you do? Drink the wines containing the treasures of this world? Or do you submit to poloning? WILL THE JEW SURVIVE AS JEW IN AMERICA? THE-Jew discovered America and he has done much as any other group of the citizenship to make the country what it other group of the citizenship to make the country what it is; but what belongs to him has been disputed, and is being disputed, as it has been and is being done in the case of the American Negro. Both races, the Jew and the Negro, have to prove their claims to past service and fight all of the time for a square deal in the thought and effort of the nation. Both races appear to thrive on denial and persecution and get what they are entitled to, in dribble-installments, perhaps. But here a little and there a little as we go along sometimes so reduces an obligation as to work cancellation of it. And the Negro, like the Jew, everywhere, keeps on a-coming, keeps on making himself seen and heard and felt in the thought and effort of his times. FINDS NEGRO RATE OF INSANITY Innity is more prevalent among Negroes than whites in this country, according to Dr. Horatio M. Pollack, statistician of the State Hospital Commission at Albany. Dr. Pollack bases his conclusions upon a study of unpublished data, derived from the special census of institutions for mental disease taken by the Federal Census Bureau in 1923 and from statistical records of the commission. The future of the Jew in America was discussed recently by various speakers at the second of a series of "plain talk" dinners given by the editors of the Menorah Journal, at the Jewish Centre, in New York. Henry Hurwitz, editor of the journal, told the diners: Several factors contribute to the higher rate of mental disease among Negroes, according to Dr. Pollock's study. These are: First—The Negro race may be less stable than the white race. "This Jew will not disappear. Individual Jews will cut their ancestral cord and be absorbed; but we are too numerous, too marked off as a group, too self-conscious, too much organized for melting away in a pot. There is the preservatory amber imposed on us by the anti-Semites, and there is the nobler preservative of an extraordinarily powerful will to survive as Jews, which will not let us disappear. Second—Because Negroes live what Dr. Pollard terms a "marginal existence," it is probable that when mental disease occurs admission to an institution, if one is available, is resorted to more frequently than in the case of the whites. Third—The Negroes in the North especially are city dwellers and are subjected to the stresses of city life, which many of them are unable to withstand. "The question, then, is not whether the Jew shall survive but what sort of a Jew we should look forward to in America; what sort of a Jew we should strive to develop. Fourth—The climate of the North brings an added stress to the Negro race which originally developed in warmer regions. "To solve this problem we must apply our best intelligence honestly, fearlessly, co-operatively and without partisanship. We must endeavor to mobilize the total intellectual resources of American Jewry—its artists, its writers, its scholars, its thinkers—for this great task. The Jewish future in America depends on the mind power we generate; on the culture we can build; on the creative contributions we make." Dr. Pollack found that, in respect to resident patients in hospitals Negro patients numbered 20,034, or 7.6 percent, of the total resident patients, and that the white patients numbered 244,968, or 92.2 percent, of the total. The rate of Negro resident patients is greater than that of white patients in thirty-seven of the forty-seven States for which data are given. The Jew will survive and remain a Jew in America, says Editor Hurwitz, and he tells what, in the solving of the problem, the Jew in America must do. There is a tendency among a small section of the Jews in America and in Europe to break away from Jewish orthodoxy and to adapt themselves more and more to the Gentile civilization in which they live, but they are frowned upon by the vast body of the Jewish people, who believe in preserving the purity of the Jewish race and its traditions. How strong this sentiment is has been demonstrated in the recent outburst of wrath at the advanced position taken by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of the most learned and useful of the Jews, in his statement that Jesus was a living man, a Jew and a prophet, and that the Jewish people must accept Him as such. The question has not been settled. Dr. Wise has shaken Jewry to its center, in which Editor Hurwitz says that he is anchored securely in faith and tradition. Town Named for Lincoln Before He Was Famous Of the twenty-four cities in the United States which bear the name of Lincoln one city alone took the name during the lifetime of Abraham Lincoln and when he knew no fame, historians at Lincoln, Th., say. He christened that city with two watermelons, says the Detroit News. When the railroad which later became the Chicago & Alton, was laid through Illinois in 1852 Robert Latham, Virgil Hickox and John D. Gillett, all famous pioneers, purohased a section of land adjacent to the railroad right of way as a prospective town site and county seat. They were perennial friends of Lincoln, who was a traveling circuit lawyer. He was their legal advisor in the location of the proposed town. In Lincoln's office in Springfield on August 24, 1853, the stenographer disclosed a name for the proposed town. The question naturally arises, will the Negro survive as a Negro in America? Much the same rule applies to him and his problems in America as apply to the Jew, and the answer to the one should be in some sort an answer to the other. But with both races there will always, perhaps, be an honest difference of opinion, some holding that the race cannot maintain its purity and develop its fullest freedom in America while others hold that the reverse is true. Meanwhile we adhere to the principle that the race cannot preserve its purity and develop to the full in contact with the white race in America and that the greatest good to the greatest number will come via a country and nation of our own.

Soon Night shall come in robes of silver splendor, Morocco No Place for American Free Lances Three Americans who fought in the French airplane service against the Riff tribesmen are back home, but although their countrymen may be glad they escaped unarmed the young men need not expect a chorus of cheers for their exploits. Whatever the merits of Abd-el-Krim's quarrel with France, most Americans will remember that his tribesmen were fighting on their own soil and for their own ideals of liberty. Many Americans also will find it hard to understand how descendants of our own patriotic sires can have forgotten with what resentment their ancestors looked upon the employment of foreign mercenaries by England in the Revolutionary War. The Hessian soldier at least could say he did not voluntarily draw his sword against American liberty, for he was compelled to serve by those who sold his service. Statements attributed to the returned aviators indicate that the work required of them was not unduly perilous. "All they had to do was to fly above forces which had no airplanes of their own and no anti-aircraft guns. From high in the air, out of danger from rifle bullets, they had only to release bombs which would destroy whatever they fell upon. Making duel allowance for the motives of the Americans—their esteem for France, their belief that it was to the advantage of European civilization for the French to win, their love for adventure—it is still difficult to find justification for their part in that grim business. Surely there were enough Frenchmen and Spaniards for such aviation service as the military needs of France and Spain required without a call for Americans to intervene. OMAHA. Dec. 29.—George W. Creel, former correspondent for the Globe Trotter in Asia, and the South Sea Islander believed that "motion pictures and the glaring inconsistency of 'Christian nations' in waging ruthless war after stressing the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill,' have done more to retard the progress of Christianity among the non-Christian faces of the Orient and destroy their respect for the white man than any other cause." "After viewing American made motion pictures these people have come to look upon the United States as a country of glittering palaces inhabited by gayly dressed, pleasure loving men and women, who have some hidden motive in trying to force Christianity upon the heathen." Another thing which he said the heathen mind could not comprehend is why "various factions of white men, all of whom advocate brotherly love, will enter into a war in which numbers are killed and each side claiming to have God on its side."

This number, ranking with the number 16 for 1924 as the smallest number of persons lynched, any year since records of lynchings have been kept, is 17 less than the number 33 for 1923, and 41 less than the number 57 for 1922. Two of the victims were insane. Three others had been formally released by the courts. Ten of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 2 from jails and 8 from officers of the law outside of jails. Two of those lynched were burned at the stake and one was put to death and body burned. There were 39 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings' 7 of these were in Northern States and 32 in Southern States. In 9 of the cases, the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 13 other instances armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 3 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 41 persons thus before the courts, 21 were sentenced; 5 suspended sentences; dependent on good behavior, of from 4 to 12 months on the road; 1 for 30 days in jail, and 15 of from 6 months on the road to 8 years in the penitentiary. Of the 16 persons lynched all were Negroes. Six, or less than one-half of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged were: Murder; 6; rape; 4; attempted rape; 2; killing officer of the law; 2; attacking child; 1; insulting woman, 1.

RESTAURANT BARS NEGRO DELEGATE FROM DINNER Boycott Proposal Turned Down by Conference—Hardships to Negroes in Northern Universities Mentioned—Prejudice Excludes Them From Nearby Cafes From the New York Times EVANSTON, Ill. Jan. 1.—The final day of the Interdenominational Students Conference was given over by the 900 students representing twenty denominations and 176 colleges in the United States and Canda to summarize, discussions, and the adoption of resolutions and reports, the fruits of the four-day session. During the discussion of the report of the Findings Committee on the Church and its attitude to racial discrimination, it was learned that a Negro delegate, C. G. Blooah, a Liberian graduate student in the University of Chicago, had been barred from a delegation dinner at a restaurant in Evanston near the church where the conference was held. Mr. Bloosh had been invited by Treadwell, Smith of the Union Seminary delegation to meet others in the delegation at dinner. The Liberian told Mr. Smith that his admittance already has been refused at the restaurant where the dinner was to be held. Mr. Smith then went to the manager, while thirty students waited at the door, to ask him for permission to eat Mr. Bloosh, and the manager refused, saying that guests in the dining room would not stand for it. Several of the students proposed that the delegation and its guests boycott the restaurant. It was finally decided, however, to go on with the dinner. Mr. Smith, Mr. Bloosh and several others did not attend. "Instead," Mr. Smith said, "we walked across town to a nice Negro restaurant, where we had a good dinner and STOP Asthma Choking; Wheeling, Gasping and Shoot Breech If you are afraid from Choking, Wheeling, Gasping, Asthma or Catarrh, you will be glad to learn that your sufferers sleep Soundly All Night from the very first.

Weighing your energy the great power of your vote will be the most important factor in the success of our organization. and interesting discussion on racial and international relations." After hearing this, it was proposed that the Conference as a whole boycott the restaurants near the church. This proposal was turned down. At noon several hundred of the students walked across town and took their lunchon in Negro restaurants; while others persuaded Negroes to accompany them to one of the cafeterias named in the boycott proposal. On this occasion the Negroes were received. It was said during the discussion that the question of Negro eating places at several Northern universities was a real problem for the students. Negro students at Columbia and Lifton Seminary in New York, a delegate declared, had to go half an hour's walk from their lectures to find restaurants that would receive them, because Amsterdam avenue and Broadway cafeterias would not admit them. The conference adopted and approved a report calling for the abolition of military training in church and denominational schools and other colleges and universities, including the immediate abolition of compulsory military training in land grant institutions such as the State university. During the discussion of this report 181 students placed themselves on record with a promise that they would refuse to participate in any manner in future war. Sixty-five said that they could not declare now that they would refuse service in war and 215 said that they were unable to decide on their stand. Several hundred refrained from recording themselves. Reports on industrial relations advocating the laboratory method for church members in learning about industrial problems and a free pupil in the expression of opinion on labor matters were approved. During the afternoon several college fraternity members attacked the Greek letter college society system as undemocratic and unchristian. Following the discussion of war and militarism the conference voted to support entrance into the World Court and the League of Nations by the United States and to send copies of the resolution to Congress and the President. The conference adopted a resolution calling for a modified eugenics program in America, recommending the legalising of the dissemination of information on bio-control and the progressive elimination through segregation and sterilization of those who are by heredity mentally defective. "We believe that industry organized on a competitive basis for profit's prolific cause of war, class hatred, poverty, crime and other social and economic evil's." A resolution calling for the approval of the Dyer anti-lynching bill was adopted. In discussions of the church and education, George E. McCracken of Princeton said that religious education in the colleges was a travesty, that it was neither religious nor educational. He declared further that the scientific principle in research in colleges was impossible today, that pressure was brought to bear on every teacher by vested interests from which BURROWS IN WALKER THE-WORLD CONTEST Wadam C.

Asserting that it was impossible to get information on religious education at Princeton, Dr. McCracken proposed, as a step toward free inquiry, the abolition of theological seminaries and the substitution for them of the education of religious workers in secular institutions. Gordon Bigelow of Knon-Theological Seminary, in submitting the report of the commission studying the racial war and industrial problems, named the Klan, American Defense Society and National Security League as organizations that obstructed a solution of the racial and war prevention problems. "The Klan," he said, "has gathered under its medieval trappings most of the morens, is peculiarly antagonistic to the religion of Jesus, and is a menace not only to America but to the entire world." A delegation from Hamlin University, St. Paul, charged that by its attitude toward the birth control the Church was encouraging the reproduction of the unfit, and was evading the question because it was afraid. The conference approved a motion, which was referred to the Findings Committee, to withdraw a part of the support now being given to foreign missions and voted at toward stopping this source of "polluting the country with the mentality and physically unfit." The conference approved a motion suggesting the formation of a committee for the purpose of working out a plan for the unification of three great Protestant young people's organizations—the Christian Endeavor Society, the Epworth League and the Baptist Young People's Union. Another plan was approved for joining up these various Christian organizations in a definite cooperative scheme with the Federal Council of Churches. Physician Says They Lessen Resistance to Germs CHICAGO. Jan. 4.—Condemination of vaccines for the treatment of colds is expressed in a report made by Dr. Isaac A. Abt, who has just completed an investigation of colds and their causes in behalf of the Gorgas Memorial Institute. Dr. Abt says that vaccines "to say the least are of very doubtful value and not based on accurate or scientific knowledge." He says the blame for much of the cold epidemic to the luxuries the world now enjoys. "Though the luxuries," he says, "are not unmixed blessings, it is safe to say that these artificial protections have diminished the resistance of human being against colds. "Since we do not know the germ which causes the catarral cold, we cannot obtain a specific vaccine for the treatment of it." Doctor: "Did you tell that young man of yours what I thought of him?"

Queens Mail Order House Q. JAMAICA, M. Y. By G. EMONEI CARTER Secretary General of U. N. I. A. (Continued) The movement of a people has had its wonderful growth because it adhered strictly to the policy of discounting indulgence and inertia in its members or in its arms and objects as executed by them in charge. It is a fact that cannot be galssal nor denied, that zeat and enthush are powerful elements for gaining momentum. Sales managers and preachers recognize these elements, and because they do, as executives, they get results. Indolence and inertia are repelling forces. They disarm and disguity those who are even inclined to give them leeway in their lives. Fatal . Indolence Marcus Garvey, the founder of the U. N. L. A., knew that the state of inertia was fatal to the movement of a people, if all the people were induced to be uplifted. He knew that action and quick action were necessary. Then, too, he knew this action must come from within our own ranks, if it were to be of lasting benefit. For it is true that no man appreciates as much what is done for him as what he does for himself. The movement, therefore, grew because zeal and enthusiasm ever abounded. Every meeting represented well-directed action. Each meeting was carefully planned and calculated to bring some definite result. Governments and nations turned their eyes and ears toward Liberty Hall and waited with abated breath to see what was the next move of a determined people. Our deliberations were reed, watched and commented on in the inner councils of every nation interested in Africa. Movement No Idle Dream They felt and knew that our movement was no idle dream or whim of the brain; but it was the expression of a people who felt the call to nationhood and who had declared they were willing to support and stand by the founder of a movement, which knew no balking successful impediment. Our zeal came, because of the consciousness in things effecting Africa and Africans. We knew the soul-urge awakened by the breachments of Garvey was a call to our true nature, and every black man, who is not a white man at heart, would respond to this urge. It is true that many of us who are identified with the black race are not racially awakened. This is natural, because everything has been done by those who have been responsible for our training to make us see things white and the value of being white or connected with those who are white. We were taught to feel and believe that no successful organization could be operated to advance our interests in America, Africa or elsewhere, without the aid, cooperation and guidance of some white per- WE SELL THE BEST MADE COLORED DOLLS A wonderful gift to the child No 2667—The best made Negro doll of a high grade doll company.

We were told that our training would not permit single action or freedom from white supervision. But Garvey came and proved that black men could organize, adhere to black leadership and would continue to carry on, even in the event that the leader was taken away suddenly. The Great Architect at Work God is not mocked. He is ever mindful of all of its children. When He allowed our forbears to be forcibly taken from the shores of Africa and distributed in the islands of the Sea and in the Americas. He also sent white men to parcel out the borders of Africa and build up a civilization there. Now this arrangement equalized matters, as will be seen in the working out of His plans. For some days, we long the movement of a people will regalize its aims and objects. Black men and women will return to the shores of Africa on their own vessels, to greet their kindred in Africa. When that day comes, it will be of such moment as to warrant all Africa being interested, to the extent that millions in the interior of Africa will find it necessary and convenient to welcome their cousins, who are now domiciled in the western world. There will be a glad hand-shaking within the borders of Africa, and somebody, who is not black, won't welcome them. They will have their heads or around, and about them. Membership Will Carry On God has so decreed and it will be carried out. Our membership shall carry on until that day arrives. We will not be found in a state of inertia or indulgence, but zeal and enthusiasm shall prompt our every action, until Africa shall be redeemed and God's equation in the affairs of all men shall be fully understood and appreciated by all nations. This zeal and enthusiasm sent Jesus, Paul and all great leaders of world forces out into the highway and hedges to labor, and bring things, to pass. We cannot hope to escape. Nagasht shall come to us by the policy of watching for thieves to turn up; but we must get out and get the thieves we desire ourselves. POSTAL PENSION RISE At a meeting of the New York Letter. Carriers Association at the Yorkville Casino on Sunday, Jan. 3, it was announced that an intensive campaign is to be made to increase pensions of letter carriers from $720 annually—the present figure—to $1,360. Under the new plan the pensions would be awarded after thirty years of service, as at present, but there would be no stipulation, as there is now, that the retiring carrier must be 65 years old. Members were urged by Edward J. Gaiton, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers to support strongly the Station-Led-Loughtill watch is pending in Congress, and when provides the increases in pensions which the carriers desire. At present 21% percent is dedicated from workers' wages to provide for pensions. Mr. Gaiton said that should be increased to 32% percent to take care of the proposed pension rate.

Hampton and Tuskegee to Get Conditional; $2,000,-000 Put Up by Eastman —Donations from $1 Up to Rockefeller's Million The hopes of Hampton and Tuskegee institutes were realized when it was announced the $5,000,000 endowment fund, upon which depends a gift of $2,000,000 offered by George Eastman, had been raised. After a hard year's work by the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund Campaign Organization, the goal was attained and the result certified to Mr. Eastman three days before expiration of the time limit, December 31. Clarence H. Kisely, Chairman of the Executive Committee in charge of the campaign, at No. 5 Malone Lane, said: "The reasons given by Mr. Eastman for his great gift have appealed to the public and it has responded in the shape of more than 10,000 subscriptions to the fund, running from gifts of $1 each from some of the colored graduates of the institution to subscriptions of $250,000 each from five different individuals, topped off by a $1,000,000 gift from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. matching the $1,000,000 pledge with which the Technical Education Board inaugurated the campaign. "The endowment fund campaign was undertaken by these, schools in order that their field of usefulness might be extended and their principals, Dr. Gregg and Dr. Moton, spared more time for necessary administrative work. "Many well-known Southerners took an active part in making the Southern campaign a success and countless new friends were made for the cause of the Hampton-Tuskegee type of education. The alumni of the two schools raised in cash and pledges more than $200,000. "The significance of this great increase in the endowment of these two unique institutions can hardly be overestimated. They have proved the most effective agency there is in putting our colored people in a position to demonstrate their capacity for good citizenship. They have turned our thousands of industrious, efficient workmen, trained teachers, leaders of their people in right living, in contributing to the welfare of the community and in winning the respect of their neighbors. "The hope of the race lies in the wide extension of the influence and efficiency of these great schools and the multiplication of their graduates and off-shoots until they reach all the colored youth of the South and show the way to proper type of schooling for the colored youth everywhere, and the white youth as well."

DIVISIONS The activities of Chicago Division. No. 23, during the holidays have been very successful, the most notable events were the Christmas tree, and entertainment given by the Juvenile Department, and the Christmas dinner given by the Motor Corps. All affairs were given at Liberty Hall. The program rendered Sunday by the Legions, under the direction of Col. Leonidas McDonald was very interesting. Several of his congrades from the famous Illinois Eighth Infantry Regiment participated in the program. Col. McDonald's address constituted the closing number on the Legions program, after which he turned the gravel over to the president, Hon. W. A. Wallace. After a few brief remarks, Mr. Wallace presented First Vice-President, Hon. Issue Walker in a brief address. Next was the reading of the president general's Christmas address from the columns of The Negro World by the executive secretary, Mr. F. B. Knox. Then followed brief addresses by various members, touching on many subjects. Everybody expressed their regret at the failure of our being favored with the release of our beloved President General in time to be his post by Christmas. We are all hoping that he will be released in the near future. On Tuesday evening Commissioner F. X. Questel of the states of Illinois and Kentucky made his official visit to our division. He was also, with us on Wednesday in our regular weekly meeting. He delivered a very splendid address. His subject was, "Why and How We Were Taken from Our Mother Land, Africa." Emphasis was placed upon the atrocious circumstances under which we were taken from our mother land; and carried to all parts of the earth by British slave traders, and how that our living in all parts of the world under various flags and influences was resulted in our being universally prejudiced against ourselves merely because one group might be living under a different government from the other. We are all looking forward to the appearance of the great musical comedy and dance, "The Bon Ton Strutters," which will appear at the K. of P. Hall at 58 East 57th street, Tuesday evening, January 12, under the auspices of the Black Cross Nurses, E. B. KNOX, Reporter.

The Gary Division is in a prosperous condition in every way. The auxiliaries are working splendidly and especially the Black Cross Nurses and Willing Workers Club. Before the hall was completed, the members worked zeeniously donating to the Building Fund, some giving, from one to many-one days of work on the building, while the Black Cross Nurses and Willing Workers, with the assistance of sleep friends, played well their parts, furnishing food for the men at, work on the building. We were able to enter our building by Thanksgiving Day. Since entering our new building, the U. N. L. A. Tempo Star Land presented to the Division a piano, which was indeed a surprise as well as a much-needed gift. We have added upite a number of new members to our division and the division on the whole is taking on new life and each auxiliary is setting a new pace, with their entertainments, to help put the program over. We must mention our juvenile Band, which made its appearance a few Sundays ago. It rendered three or four time numbers, under the direction of their leader, Mr. Hz L. M. Gilbergy, and Mr. Andrew Pryor, manager. Bishop J. D. Barber visited us and spoke in *Interest* of the release of our Leader, Hon. Marcos Garvey. We have spared no pain in getting signers for the petition and now we are planning a draw for a church to church campaign for Mr. Garvey's release. Our mass meetings are well attended and the meetings are enthusiastic throughout. MISS DESSE L. WEISTER, Reporter. DETROIT, MICH. The juvenile department of the Detroit Division rendered a wonderful Christmas program on December 24 at Liberty Hall. A beautifully decorated and lighted Christmas tree was baked from top to bottom with presents for the little ones. Much praise and honor should be given to their captain, M. T. R. Dept. and assistant; Mrs. Rufus Pettis, for such a program rendered. Little Miss Jola Bass was mistress of ceremonies, and the program was as follows: Opening song by the juveniles, "Joy to the World"; solo by little Miss Sadie Bates; recitation by Master, William Starks; "Under the Christmas Tree"; solo by Master Fred E.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1928 LAS MINAS, CUBA This division was honored with a visit from the Hon. R. H. Bachelor, Commissioner for Cuba, on December 11 and 12. Mr. Bachelor's visit, was announced some time in advance, and a full house greeted his appearance. On the night of the commissioner's arrival, a meeting was held. It proved to be quite inspiring. Mr. Bachelor, whose energy can almost be felt at long range, never failed to keep the audience interested all through. Mr. Bachelor spoke very convincingly on the work of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. in the interest of which he stated, he was, making an extended tour of the country lecturing and collecting funds. He suggested an impromptu concert on the following night, December 12, in interest of the work. All heartily agreed, and everything worked out successfully. Garveyism is slowly but surely taking its hold on the Negroes in this community. One can see the old doubtful, pessimistic attitude losing, ground. Seventy-five per cent of the colored community here are Garveyites. The meetings are well attended on Sunday nights, and The Negro World is always in demand. We pray for the greater vision, for sober-minded intelligence to accept our reverses as well as our successes with equal grace; that our people embrace with an open unprejudiced mind the basic principles that form the main spring of this movement, which expresses in no uncertain way the goal of all time Negroes—a free and redeemed Africa both at home and abroad. BOCAS DEL TORO, R.P. On Sunday night, December 22, our meeting commenced at 7:30 o'clock with the singing of the opening ode "From Greenwich Bay Mountain" followed with prayer by the chaplain, Mr. Charles Dottin, after which the battle hymn was sung, "God of the Right, Our Battles Fight." Chaplain Dottin took his text from the 14th Chapter of St. John. His address was very inspiring. After the religious service the meeting was handed over to the president, Rev. R. X. Whittaker, who complimented Chaplain Dottin very highly upon his address. After delivering a short address on the work of the organization, the president presided, while the following program was rendered: Addresses by Mrs. Sarah E. Gordon, lady president, and Mossy, Frazier, Gordon and Hall; musical numbers by the whistle. The closing address was delivered by the president. The newly purchased Liberty Hall, which is the property of the Bocas Del Toro Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will soon be completed. We will then launch our local program for the development of the division during the coming year. The division has had many odds to fight against during the past year, but in spite of all we are marching on to victory. The work of the Bocas Division has been greatly helped by the periodic visits of the presidents and members of the Belle Vue and Shepherd Island Divisions who have given great assistance from time to time in carrying on the work of this division. Rev. R. N. Whitaker, our president, and Mrs. Sarah E. Gordon, lady president, have worked hand in hand with the loyal members in attaining the goal. MISS MABEL RODNEY, REPORT BANES, ORIENTE, CUBA Garvey Day was celebrated here on December 6 by the members and friends of the division. The attendance was very good which shows the High appreciation which this community holds for our intolerable leader, Marcus Garvey, who is now suffering behind the prison-bars for this down-trodden race of ours. The meeting was opened with a processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," while the officers and uniformed units with the tri-colors of the association marched around the hall. The chaplain, Mr. C. M. Clarke, opened the service with an address in which he pointed out that the only way to serve God aright is by doing our twofold duty—to God and to man. The chairman was then introduced in the person of Mr. A. T. McCharity, president, who honored the name of Garvey and asked that all stalk to the U.N.A.A. so that in the near future we may be able to give to the world and our children a mighty government strong enough to protect the Negroes. The program was as follows: Opening ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountain;" repetition of the 23rd Psalm; solo by Miss Leah Robinson; address Mr. Geo. C. Douglas, executive secretary; solo by Mrs. F. Burton; anthem by the choir, "God of Israel"; address by Mr. J. U. Davis, first vice-president; remarks by president; prayer and the Ethiopian anthem. COLLIN A. WILSON, Reporter: CHATTANOOGA, TENN.

The division was much helped by Mrs. Garvey's visit and hopes that she will return soon. The Chapter meets every Sunday afternoon at 202 West 53rd street at 5 p.m. All are invited to attend. J. E. SAMUELS, Reporter. JATIBONICA, CUBA Jathinica Division celebrated Garvey Day on Sunday, December 6.

Official Film How the humble peanut is closely allied with American history is told in the United States Department of Agriculture educational film, "Peanuts $30,000,000 Worth." This vegetable, which is not actually a nut, but a ground pea, is a native South American plant and found its way to North America by way of Africa as food for prisoners on board slave ships in early Colonial days. Up to the time of the war between the States the plant was neglected by the Southern planters and was grown mainly in small patches by the slaves. During the war Union soldiers foraging for food came upon the "soapier pea" and found it palatable and nourishing. After Appamatttox many of the carried the pots home with them, and the peanut won immediate favor in the North, and its culture has undergone great development in the South.

But, instead of being wrinkled and crippled, these contenders will be in their vigorous prime. "The average length of life has increased from twenty-one years in 1550 to more than fifty years in 1510," said Dr. Hart, in a paper before the American Sociological Society yesterday. "This rate will not only be maintained, but will be accelerated.

W 355 Lenox Ave. NEW YORK CITY OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1926 SOVIET PROPOSES NEW FAMILY LAW World-Over Madame Rhoda's System DANDRUFF, FALLING, DEY, THIN HAIR, BALDNESS $1 BLACK WOMEN'S RESOLVE FOR 1926 A FEMINIST in the person of Rupert Hughes, writing for the Hearst newspapers, outlines, "How women's astonishing revolts have cast off customs" but to try Property Rights Extended and Responsibility for Children Repertory cast on customs or ages, but, strange to say, he omits any mention of the Negro, woman either at home or abroad. Of course he starts off with American white women and the immortal achievements of Susan B. Anthony and, continues: From the New York Times "In India, even, women awoke and went forth to independence. When the gentle revolutionist Gandhi was sent to jail by the British government, his wife did his work for him. The wife oof another revolutionist, C. R. Das, sometimes shared her husband's imprisonment and sometimes toiled for the cause outside. The debate over the proposed changes in the marriage laws of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics that began when, D. Kursky, People's Commissar for Justice, laid a draft of the new plan before a meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union in Moscow on October 17 has extended to every corner of the vast Russian domain. "Hindu women became co-eds at men's colleges and took degrees. A woman's medical college was opened at Delhi, Miss Mithi Tata began to practice law. There were not fifty educated women in India fifty years ago and there are fifty thousand today. In politics the Hindus are so zealous that the great Indian National Congress this year had for president a woman, Mrs. Sarojini Naidu. .." When Commisar Kursky submitted the draft to the Moscow meeting it was expected that it would be approved promptly and incorporated in the Russian civil code. But the debate on some of the sections of the proposed law became so hot and the differences of opinion so sharp, that it was deemed advisable to put the matter over to the next meeting of the Central Executive Committee, with instructions to the various subordinate committees of the Soviet State to see that the people had plenty of opportunity to discuss the problem. Thus, it was continued, final action would be largely dependent upon what the articulate majority thought about the question. "In other Asiatic countries, in Japan, Corea and China, women have begun to claim and achieve more and more privileges and to awaken to greater and higher ambitions. But nowhere, perhaps, has so profound and sweeping a revolution taken place as in Turkey, the peculiar stronghold of womanly subjection." As far as Russian women are concerned we quote the following from an article by Leon Trotsky in the New York American: "I challenge any civilized country today, England, the United States of America, Germany, or France, to show such statutes, recognizing women's claims upon the State, as exist today in the Soviet republic of Russia. . . . Common Law Marriage Binding The main change proposed is that "common-law" marriages shall be regarded just as binding upon the parties involved as those registered by a government functionary. The advantage of registering a marriage consists in making it easier for either one of the parties, but especially the woman, to get legalress in matters concerning property, children or divorce. Where no registration exists the complying party has been obliged to go before a court or other competent body and prove that the marriage relation really was entered into. As the new law provides for an equal division, in case of divorce, of all property acquired by the couple during their married life together, the importance of registration to avoid litigation is apparent. "Today the Russian women are in all departments in great proportions; they are found in public institutions, in co-operative and trade-unions, and take full part in all civil activities. In cities one-fifth of the members of the Soviets are women and, in the highest government body, the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Republics, there are forty women. You will find them as judges, prosecuting attorneys, bank directors and factory managers." So the much despised Soviets challenge the white world to exemplify equal rights of womens in politics and industry, as superior to their practice of same. The Reds have sense enough to realize that if the mothers of men are not treated fairly men are but limiting their own progress and development. The Negro woman is the backbone of the race, but it is not natural that white, yellow or brown men will give her full credit for it, when her own men are too narrow-minded to tell it to the world. Take the days of slavery when she toiled on the plantations alongside of her men, at the same time having to bear him children, and be subjected to the vicious propensities of her white slave-master. Follow her activities after emancipation and you will find her washing and ironing, doing odd jobs besides her own house work so as to support her children through school, giving to them what she never had—an education. Look at her today, educated, independent and well equipped along all lines to compete with her men and in many instances outclass them. "Instead of being a step toward the abolition of marriage, as has been erroneously asserted, the proposed law actually extends that ancient institution in Russia, particularly where love affairs result in the aggronization of property or the addition of new citizens to the nation. In fact, several of the opponents of the draft asserted at the Moscow meeting that the elevation of the common law marriage to the same legal plane as the registered contract would jam the courts with cases where the "weaker parties" in supposedly temporary alliances would host that they thought they were married and consequently entitled to all the regrettations of the matrimonial state. Supporters of the draft averred, among other things, that this feature would go a long way toward reducing the number of "passing love matches" and would rebound to the benefit of the health and morals of the young folk. In America more Negro women graduate from the colleges than the men, and why? Because our women will endure untold hardships for any period, so as to achieve their goal, while the men lack perseverance and expect heaven on earth without working to bring such things to pass. We will not further relate the many deficiencies of Negro men that contribute to the backwardness of our race, as we do not want them to feel that we are exposing them to the ridicule of others; but suffice it to say that if they were as energetic and unselfish as we women, the race would have a decent rating among the other races of the world. Think ye that we have not women as able as Madame Naidu? Surely we have, but black men would be highly indignant if a Negro woman was proposed to preside over our International Convention; small-minded Negro men would object vociferously if the able wife of a deceased executive was slated to fill his position. 'If the United States Senate and Congress can open their doors to white women, we serve notice on our men that Negro women will demand equal opportunity to fill any position in the Universal Negro Improvement or anywhere else without discrimination because of sex. We are very sorry if it hurts your old-fashioned tyrannical feelings, and we not only make the demand, but we intend to enforce it. Some of the women members of the Central Executive Committee, while contending that the new law would be of no benefit to women and children, denounced the workings of the existing code. Mme. Passynkova putting it this way: Lost All Restraint "There must be some standard. In fact, men and women have now lost all restraint. Many a man has twenty wives. Each one his a child. These are impossible conditions. What can you take from such a man for the support of his children? You can't very well take his hide off. And so the children are thrown into the street to add to the number of homeless little ones." The wife of Garvey has not fallen short of the wife of Gandhi in point of service to a cause or loyalty to a leader and husband, but black men have not reached that plane where they can honor their women, unless in particular cases where they first get the stamp of approval from their white bosses. Black women know this and are not waiting to hear the male sex chant their landamus, but are themselves humming these words, "Give us strength, oh Lord, to put this program over," and as they ham they work, diligently and fearlessly, regardless of petty men, ignoring, jealous men, and praying for and seeking the help of real men to redeem Africa and better the condition of the race everywhere. Addressing a meeting in Moscow directly after returning from his latest health trip to the Caucasus, Leon Trofsky came out strongly for the proposed marriage law, emphasizing its advantages for unregistered mothers compared with the present arrangement. Trofsky also said that much of the irregularly in relations between the sexes was due to liquor and that "the protection of mothers and children depends upon the success of the fight against alcoholism." Ethiopian queens once ruled great empires, and they are riding back into power on their own merits and achievements. Look out, small men, or you will be ridden down. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower In a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and Alcoa Oil, together with various other additives, therefore making the most powerful harmless Hair 'Grower known, actually forcing hair to grow and obliterate ones.

For Bell Hobbit's Manufacturing Co. 21 W. Wesley Street NEW YORK It has been pointed out in the newspaper's discussion of the merits and demurials of the proposed law that so far as the unregistered mother is concerned she already has the right under the legal code promulgated in December, 1917, immediately after the Bolshevist revolution, to go to court and force the father of her child to do something toward its support, and that about the only change proposed in the draft is that the father definitely be obliged to support the mother six months after the birth of her child. His objection to do his share in supporting the child until it can take care of itself or has become a ward of the State remains practically the same as in the existing code. Old Government Owned Ships Proposed for Welfare Work TOEKA, Kan.—The United States Government would save millions of dollars and give a tremendous impetus to world brotherhood by, literally "heating its swords into plowshares." In the opinion of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, editor of the Christian Herald and for 30 years a Congregational pastor here. Dr. Sheldon is advocating the use of discarded navy vessels as "university ships," and a "secretary of peace" in the President's cabinet. "Wouldn't it be fine to remove the guns and munitions and till the holds with provisions and merchandise; tike aboard 5,000 students and professors, and go from continent to continent studying daily as they would at home?" he said. "Their cargo could be exchanged for foreign exports, and the expenses of the voyage largely defrauded in this trading. "Perhaps these would be an earthquake in Greece. The ship would go there and leave provisions. Pestilence in the Near East-relief would be rushed on our 'dreadnaught of peace.'" A Call to Women to Emulate Splendid Types To the Editor of the Woman's Page: "Women of the Negro race, on us defends the future glory of Ethiopia. It is on us the whole world turns its eyes. So then let's be up and doing and he prepared to halt that glad day. There is nothing to fear, so take fresh courage and work unceasingly for this glorious cause. We need no greater example than that of Solomon Truth, a slave, who having gained her freedom worked wholeheartily for the administration of the race. She was a supporter of woman suffrage, and among many other historical deeds, caused the abolition of the Jim-crow census, in Washington, D. C. Harriet Tubman was another slave who had courage enough to quit Massa's farm, one who was prepared to die in the fight; for liberty, either to live in slavery, and having confidence in God and herself most illustrated, illuminated 400 other slaves for which she was called "The Moses of her People." Having such adorable examples before us, let us reedicate ourselves to the program for a free and reheated Africa, singing as we go, the hymn often sung by Harriett Tubman.

Spanish Rice Good Substitute for Meat One of the most substitute dishes that is most a captain, is a Spanish rice. Like the other so-called "Spanish" dishes, this one is truly of Mexican origin, but it is delicious. In four tablespoons of oil, brown one half cup of rice, keep stirring continually so that it will not stick nor burn; when it is a golden brown, add two medium sized onions and one bell pepper that you have chopped, then add a small clove of garlic. Cook together six minutes, or until the vegetables turn a golden brown, then add one quart of tomatoes, two cups of boiling water, a quarter of a teaspoon each of oregano and cumin and one teaspoon more to taste of chile powder with salt to taste. It will require about one and a half to two teaspoons of salt. Cook slowly, adding more water if necessary. The rice should be slightly swelled, and while the sauce should be thick, if you let it cook down too much the rice becomes dry and unappetable. Serve with or without grated cheese. N.Y. American.

His Mother Creates Boy's Ideal of Woman The average nice, worth while boys have an ideal girl pretty well established in mind when he starts going around among the fair sex. With some boys the ideal may be vague, but there are few of them who have not more or less consciously decided they would like to be mated with a girl of such and such type. The mother, ideal Kumuons family working in the back of the boy's brain if he has been one of these fortunate boys with an ideal mother, may not be constantly aware that they have not only life and guidance to their mother, but also the general direction of their own training and ideals, yet they want as a mate a girl who most nearly resembles their mother. Hence, often unconscionently, the boy is attracted to the girl who is his mother ideal. Boys who have keep unfortunate in their mothers break sharply away and set up other adults. It depends them on how such a boy advances himself in experience and in general growth in ideals just how much of the ideal will go into his choice. His special knowledge about girls has much to do with the development of his ideal of responsibility obeying you girls, let me insert here. Boys are pretty phable material in the early days of their interest in girls. They believe in them. They believe they are inferior than boys; that they wouldn't do or say course things a boy might be led into saying and doing. So you see how damaging an influence one unthinking girl may be in the life of a boy. It is pretty hard shodding for a young fellow to attempt to build ideals about women if he happens to be thrown into an association with girls who let themselves be manipled and pawed over. Every normal boy in his heart of hearts, bones for the type of mild worthy to be the mother of one child.

Give me more than I expect, and I will give you more than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits. 4. Yqu owe so much to yourself that you can not afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt, or keep out of my shops. 5. Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men like good women never see temptation when they meet it. 7. Don't do anything here which hurts your self-respect. An employee who is willing to steal for me is willing to steal from me. 8. It is none of my business what you do at night. But if disdain affords what you do the next day, and you do half as much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you hope. 9. Don't tell me what I'd like to hear, but what I ought to hear. I don't want a violet to my vanity, but one for my money. Don't kick off I kick.

PLEASE HOW MANY TREATMENTS YOU WANT Name Address City State When ordering from Cuba or South America send money with order BEAUTY CULTURE By the Black Cross Nurses of New York In considering, therefore, the remedies for a bad complexion, skin bleemishes, wrinkles, obesity, undue thickness and other detergents to beauty, we shall consider first and foremost the natural remedies, giving also some useful hints in regard to simple and harmless cosmetics as aids to beauty. Perhaps nowhere are defects of hygiène more plainly featured than in the skin and complexion. Solitary habits reveal themselves in the unhealthy looking skins of those who have not realized that poor cleanliness internally and externally is necessary in order to keep the skin and complexion pure. Solitary habits are not conducive to internal cleanliness. Those who take little or no exercise, who eat too much and too often, whose diet is unsuitable, cannot be surprised if the climating organs of the body fail to do their duty. Indigestion, constipation and other stomach troubles prove the most relentless foes the complexion can have. It should be the skin of all who value their personal appearance to prevent these ill as far as it is in their power. A glass of hot water slipped slowly the last thing at night and a glass of cold water with a little lemon juice taken the first thing in the morning has been proved by some people to be an unilateral preventive of constipation (others have found the necessary remedy in a glass of hot water taken half an hour before each meal). It is a fact that people who suffer habitually from constipation take like enough water. An apple or a wineglassful of orchidine taken half an hour before breakfast acts upon the liver and forms an excellent tome. It is a good plan also to have some straw fruit upon the table at breakfast time. Begin the meal with some of this fruit. Never forget any meals. The bread winners of a family are very apt to literally "hurl" their breakfast in order to catch the train or car which is to take them to their place of business. Needless to say it is much better to rise half in an hour earlier, and to take the full time over the morning meal than to allow one's self just sufficient marrow to snatch a lasty breakfast. The importance of strict attention to diet cannot be too highly estimated. Curries, badly cooked food, pies, etc., should be taken in strict meditation or in another invigorated manner. Needless to say anything has a more coursing effect upon the skin than over indulgence in many kind of stimulants. Excessive and too little stimulation is harmful. Easily to eat at the root of most dim star troubles. Where the testimony bad, it is impossible to master the food properly, and when the food is not properly mastered it cannot be digested. It seems hardly necessary to emphasize, the fact that to keep the skin healthy, personal cleanliness is essential.

In world politics 1825 will always be remembered as a notable year on account of the Loewsor treaties, the importance of which is not merely that they constitute a voluntary peace which marks the real end of war, but also that they contain a solitary undertaking between age long omitted in Western Europe to refrain from war in the future and to settle disputes by peaceable means. Their corollary is the entry of Germany into the Loewsor of Germany which means that in 1825 a new and more normal balance of international power will come into effect in Europe and that the cause is likely to be occupied by big, possibly exhilibitions, plans for further conquest, reconstruction and solidarity in Europe—for example, a central European customs union and an agreement between the central banks to guarantee the chief European exchanges. By comparison with the results obtained at Locarno the power-destitution of the Irish boundary dispute is a secondary matter. It represents however, the removal of a great anxiety. An offset to these gains in international politics is that the distended relations with Turkey over Mosul, continued disturbances in China and "little wars" in Syria and Morocco are all influences exacerbating a depressing effect upon commerce. On the whole, however, in international politics there is a substantial credit balance. The Domestic Balance In home politics the summing up is more gloomy. For the first time in years we have been spared an autumn general election and for this the country is thankful. But hope that the conservative Government would be better times has been disappointed.

This seriously combined with the optimistic budgeting of last April means that for the first time in several years the national accounts at the end of the year certainly will show a defeat. The new projective duties will duge to nothing in taking the gap, for they are too small and unimpartant to do much more than consolidate and strengthen free trade opinion without creating any substantial body of temporary. If, therefore, this survey had been written in the summer the yodel would have been that the government had not around very considerably. As The Lostest treaties and Ireland, unfortunately have done something to restore the balance, while Mr. Baldwin has also in his favor the weakness of the two opposition wings, of which the Labor, section still is so poorly disappointed at its failures of 1921, while the Liberals still are ferroring away what little strength they have in posed wringings. The Gold Success In the field of economics and finance the outstanding feature of 1825 was the return of Great Britain to the gold standard and the demonstration that we can stay there living in part to the good will of America. this operation, has been carried through with nothing worse than a bank rate in spite of the fact that in November the embargo on foreign loans in London was removed and all and sandry were permitted to come and raise capital here if their credit was good enough. Comparatively low prices for cotton and cotton on the one hand and the high rubber price on the other made it easier to hold the exchange, than would have been the case in 1824, and as money came due for short term investments we saw the unexpected phenomenon of a 4 percent bank rate two months in autumn, when the extense strain caused by paying for injections is normally at a maximum. Since the restoration of the gold standard we have lost on balances £1,000,000 in gold in eight months. This is small when contrasted with the amount it was feared we might lose in as many days. The Bank of England has been criticized for its ability in this direction or in that, but on the whole the country is getting used to the new situation and already is beginning to benefit from the fact that we now meet the competition from other stable money countries like Belgium and Germany on our economic merits and are not liable to have our trade calculations upset by fluctuations in the exchanges. Prices on World Parity Some reduction on the general price level in Great Britain already had occurred. curred before the gold standards was restored, but since April our prices have come more definitely into partly with world prices, partly through the rise in American prices and partly through the fall in British prices. In England retail prices and wages throughout the year have been steady, but wholesale prices have fallen 12 per cent, as compared with December, 1924. The fall is only a per cent an compared with the average for 1924. Thus the restoration of the gold standard is an accomplished fact and the initial difficulties have been successfully overcome, although there still may be some monetary troubles in store for us. We do not yet know what calls foreign borrowers may endeavor to make on our limited capital resources after the turn of the year, and if trade improves the demand on the London money market may possibly cause a further rise in the bank rate. There is, in fact, some reason for thinking that demands of industry will increase. Taking 1925 as a whole there is little doubt that, if we exclude mining, production at the end was greatest than at the beginning of the year. Unemployment was slightly less and our export manufactures slightly greater. This improvement was, however, far more than offset by depression in the coal trade, which for the first time, was faced by the full competition of Germany and of the geo-constituted mines of France, developments in new coal fields overseas and the competition of oil and water power. The British coal industry consequently was under the progress of definitely restoring its export activities, and the readjustment is proving extremely painful. Some Industries Gain Among the manufacturing industries the depression in the iron and steel trade, which continued until late autumn, and in shipbuilding, which continues to date, has been balanced by activity in metal, electrical, engineering and other mechanical industries, by a smaller investment in the Lancashire cotton trade, and in a number of minor trades such as beads and shoes, jute and the clothing trades. Indeed, there is nothing in the record of 1925, even in its last quarter, to inspire great optimism, but the discovery in the last port of the year that we can compete with the continent, that quality, still tells heavily in favor of British products, and that inflation at best can only temporarily help our foreign competitors, has had a tone effect upon British enterprise. This optimism remains restrained so long as it is uncertain what will happen when the vow truce comes to an end in May. The taxpayer certainly will not go on paying and one yet seems to know how to bridge the gap of two shillings, per ton between the present selling prices and cost of production. But in spite of this cloud there are clear evidences of increasing activity generally. If the long delayed trade expansion should coincide with a brief demand for capital on the part of foreign borrowers and a continuance of the rubber boom, dearer money is to be expected in the spring. Our bankers have had a good year, thanks to increasing advances to industry at remunerative rates of interest. On the Stock Exchange the speculator has had plenty of opportunities, but cautious investors probably lost through the moderate depression in gift-edged securities and the sharp fall in British railway securities. It has been a bad year for shipping, but a fairly good year for most kinds of commerce, insurance, etc.; and though Mr. Chuhnbill's budget will not balance, the annual accounts unquestionably will show that the assessments for income tax and supertax are higher than ever. German Wives in Distress As: British Soldiers Depart BERLIN, Jan. 2.—Disillusion after living happily and in luxury during the occupation period, hundreds of German wives of British soldiers in the army of occupation are bidding farewell to their husband as the British evacuation of the Cologne zone proceeds. More than 700 Tommies married German women during the last few years, about one in every ten. The majority obtained permission of superior officers for the marriages, and provision has been made for these families as the troops move to Wiesbaden or leave Germany. Those who did not obtain permission are in difficulties. WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. Babe Knets, whether dimpled or rusty, would be visited from the public size if Mrs. John R. Henderson, a prominent figure in entertaining Washington's diplomatic circle and the widow of a United States Senator from Missouri, had her way. Mrs. Henderson wants to put skirts down clear to the ankle. Leading society women, says Mrs Henderson, sympathize with her in the movement to reform "vulgar fashion" of women's dress in this and other participants. She announced today the inauguration of a campaign to reform modern tendencies in the dress of what is sometimes called the "weaker sex" and stated that the movement had the support not only of well-known women in society here, but the daughters of the American Revolution, the National Federation of Women's Clubs and the National Congress of Parents, and Teachers. Such a movement would frown on cigarette smoking by women and would call on women everywhere to champion innocent strives. Miss. Henderson said she had discussed the subject of reform in women's dress with, M. Collins, former Premier of France, during his recent visit here, and as a result of this she expressed confidence that the better elements of French life were in sympathy with more modest fashions and hats. The Washington society women who agreed with her views, Miss. Henderson said, had indulged the following resolution to be sent to newspapers in London and Paris. "That we are deeply interested in the efforts of certain high dignitaries of church and schools who have in a longing to modify undesirable prevaricating fashions for women's apparel and have hopelessly bid the blame to mothers, calling upon them to come to the rescue; that we feel that they do not realize that Dame Fashion is a powerful potentate; that a large number of American girls now work for an independent living, and if shaded by helpless mothers concerning questions of fashions they simply recall such mothers as out of date and old fashioned. "That the best women of France and England also, as here represented in their embassies, also by the royal family of England, do not follow fashions of women's apparel not in good taste, quite regardless of fashions which are dictated by the underworld of Paris. "That we suggest for street wear dress skirts broader and of ankle length. "That we call upon society women of America everywhere to bind together to condemn such vulgar fashions of women's apparel do not tend to cultivate imate modesty, good taste or good morals. "That, in the interest of future public health and efficiency, we pray that the comparatively new fashion of cigarettes be abandoned. In that reserves from health capital, expended to save the living organism from pests of poison inevitably lead, sooner or later, to physical bankruptcy and race degeneracy. "That women's colleges, whose mission it is to teach what best befits girls for future life, viz.; life's greatest asset, normal's physical health, could and in discipline by dismissing those who refuse to conform to college rules."

Not to Be Bound by Any Program Adopted WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.—President Coolidge requested Congress today to appropriate $10,000 to cover the expense of participation by the United States by the League of Nations preliminary disarmament discussions. "Participation in the work of the preparatory commission," the President said in a special message. "involves no commitment with respect to attendance upon any future conference or conferences on reduction and limitation of armaments, and the attitude of this Government in that regard cannot be defined in advance of the calling of such meetings." He added that "whether the conditions and circumstances will prove such as to make it desirable for the United States to attend any conference or conferences which may eventually take place as a result of the labors of the preparatory commission or otherwise, is a question which need not now be considered." Text of the Message The message follows: "In the message which I had occasion recently to submit to you, I called attention to the agreement recently entered into by a number of European governments under which guarantees of peace were provided, and I took occasion to point out that the natural corollary to these treaties should be further international agreements for the limitation of armaments, a work that was so successfully begun at the Washington conference. "The Government of the United States now has been invited by the Council" of the League of Nations to send representatives to sit upon a preparatory commission for the disarmament conference, being a commission to prepare for a conference on the reduction and limitation of armaments, which have been set up by the council and which is to meet in Genoa, Switzerland, in February. The purpose of this commission, it is stated, is to make preparations for a conference for disarmament, which it is the announced purpose of the council to call at an early date. "It is proposed that the deliberations of the commission shall be directed to such matters as the several factors upon which the power of a country in time of war depends; whether limitation of the ultimate war strength of a country is practical, or whether disarmament should be confined to the peace strength alone; the relative advantages and disadvantages of each of the various forms which reduction or limitation of armament may take in the case of land, sea and air forces; the standard of measurement of the armaments of one country against the armaments of another; the possibility of ascertaining whether the armed force of a country is organized in a spirit of aggression or far purely defensive purposes; The consideration of the principles upon which a scale of armament for various countries can be drawn up, and the factors which enter into the establishment of those principles, such as communications, resources, geographical situation, population, the vulnerability of frontiers, necessary delays in the transformation of peace armaments into war armaments; criteria, if any, by which it may be possible to distinguish, between civil and military aircraft, the military value of commercial fleets, the relation between regional security and disarmament and between regional disarmament and general disarmament. "The matters to be examined by the preparatory commission will, it is stated, touch upon all aspects of the question of disarmament and affect the interest, of all the nations of the world. The council believes that the time has come for studying the practical possibility of the reduction and limitation of armaments and expresses the hope that at this time when all the nations of the world are convinced, of a common need, it will be able to count upon the co-operation of the Government of the United States in a work which so closely concerns the peace of the world. "This is neither the time nor the place to discuss the agenda on the preparatory commission, or 'to assess the prospects of any conference or conferences on disarmament or limitation of armament, which may later be convened. It is quite sufficient to note at this stage, that the United States is merely invited to participate in a preliminary inquiry which may prepare the way for steps of a more definite and formal nature.

"The conviction that competitive armaments constitute a powerful factor in the promotion of war is more widely and justifiably held than ever before. And the necessity for lifting the burden of taxation from the people of the world by limiting armament is becoming daily more imperative. "Participation in the work of the preparatory commission involved no commitment with respect to attendance upon any further conference or conferences on reduction and limitation of armaments, and the attitude of this Government in that regard cannot be defined in advance of the calling of such meetings. "For this reason I deem it advisable to ask the Congress at this time only for such appropriation as may be required to betray the expenses of our participation in the work of the preparatory commission." I, therefore recommend that there be appropriated the sum of $50,000 to cover the expenses of participation, in the discretion of the executive, in the work of the preparatory commission." Michigan Court Rules Restriction of Property Sale to Negroes Invalid The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down an important and far-reaching opinion that will be viewed with interest by Negroes throughout the country, it being to the effect that restrictions made against the sale of property to Negroes on account of color were valid. This decision is particularly important in view of the widespread activities on the part of whites to exclude Negroes from so-called white residential districts by inserting clauses in contracts forbidding the sale of the property to anyone not of the Caucasian race. By this decree on the part of the Supreme Court, all such contracts are void in the State of Michigan. While this opinion is favorable to the colored citizens of Michigan and the country, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the economy of premises on which restrictions have been placed, which has been the bone of contention in the many cases throughout the country. The suit in question was brought by Porter and Wyman, Muskegon, real estate dealers, against Wilbray and Auxille Barrett, white, and Wilson Robinson, a Negro, who purchased the property involved. Porter and Wyman had sold the lot to a Louis Parent, white, who inURN sold it to the Barretts. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold if Negroes upon penalty of the law says: "We must fear in mind that we are not dealing with a restraint on the use of premises. Such restraints, unless unreasonable, have quite uniformly been upheld. Before the sale of intoxicating liquor was prohibited, this court and practically every court of last resort in the Union upheld restraints of the use of premises for its manufacture or sale. Such a restraint upon the USE was uniformly upheld; but would a restraint on SALE of premises to one who was engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors elsewhere be valid? I think not." lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate concern. Upon the sale of the property to Robinson, Porter and Wymag immediately brought suit in the Circuit Court and a verdict was given in favor of the defendants. This decision was affirmed by the State Supreme court on the appeal of the plaintiffs. Justice Fellows, in writing his opin- Anent Col. Mitchell "To have died Mitchell out.

CANCER IS HELD NON-INFECTIOUS AT SYMPOSI Hereditary Basis Asserted, Environmental Factors, S as Frictional Irritation, Included NEW HAVEN, Dec. 30.—Three of standing conclusions were announced by leading expolents of medicine: genetics today during a symposium cancer, conducted at Yale University by the American Society of Zoologists. These conclusions were: 1. That cancer is not an infectious disease. 2. That cancer cannot be developed except by persons in whom there is hereditary cancerous strain. 3. That each persons talented at being a cancerous strain cannot develop the disease spontaneously, but on the memory of environment factors, chief among which is frational irritation. The first was expounded by J. James B. M. Murphy of the Roel fellow Institute for Medical Research Dr. L. C.

Ba- of the Cornell Medical College, who r ported that experimentation with mi- n and study of the clinical history of 2 cautious mothers indicated that ti nursing of babies has little if any a fect in producing cancer of the brea- tion, he believed, had a noticeable effect in increasing cancer suscepti- bility. In connection with recent published reports that Dr. William E. Gye London, in collaboration with Dr. J. I Smith, had succeeded in isolating the nature, germ, Dr. Murphy warned scientists that "observations of the nature will require perhaps years a careful analysis, with parallel biolo- gical experiments before any final judge can be passed on them." "It is quite evident that cancer is inherited said by Strong in presenting his healthy contents. "There is strong presumptive evidence that unit factors, probably multiple, are functional in the incidence of cancer. Whether these factors are all sufficient for the production of cancer, or whether they produce merely a substitution on which certain extrinsic factors, such as irrigation, must act, remains to be demonstrated." Dr. Strong cited a long list of instances brought to light by science in which cancer has obviously been a family heritage and be called upon the experience of preceding research workers to substantiate his findings, especially Larry Murray and Mass Lathion of Granby, Mass. Dr. Ewing objected to arriving at any definite conditions from Dr. Strong's experiments. "There is a considerable difference of feeling on the importance of heredity in the human subject," he explained, "I have been unable to find sufficient evidence that these experiments to lower animals force us to conclude that heredity is the determining factor in the development of cancer among human beings." Woman Has Bible Smaller Than Man's Fingernail Mrs. Henry Kern of Waukegan, Ill. believes she owns the smallest Bible in the world. It is printed on the thinnest of India paper, and is scarcely one-fourth of an inch thick. It is claimed that an ordinary postage stamp would cover two such Bible. The volume is even smaller than a man's fingernail, says the Fathinder. Although the type is so fine that no word can be read by the naked eye, under a powerful magnifying glass the printing stands out clear and every word can be read. The completed New Testament is contained in the Lilliputian volume.

UEROA, Editor Haciendo alarde de su progreso—Con timidez y sombrero en mano nada realizaremos—Leguemos mas honor a nuestra presente generación—Actitud de las tal llamadas razas superiores—Africa, como la tierra de promisión en todas las épocas—Nuevo espíritu progresista de la raza Hermanos de la raza, salud y prosperidad: El mundo ridiculiza y se rie hoy día en nuestra cara al demandar una cuenta detallada de nuestras actuaciones. Por centenares de años nos hemos mezclado con el resto de la humanidad y a la hora presente, cuando todas las razas están haciendo alarde de sus progresos individuales y colectivos, los progresos de los tiempo modernos. La raza a la cual pertenecemos tiepe de por fuerza que tomar la posición más ventajosa para su propia defensa, por la falta de sinceridad y de bien que nos presta el mundo entero. Entre los grandes acontecimientos de esta época moderna tanto el hombre blanco como el amarillo, pueden vanagloriarse de la vasta construcción de sus imperios y dominios. Tanto el uno como el otro pueden ensenarnos su poderio en mar y tierra; su posición en los asuntos de la presente era esta ampliamente definida, de aquí que estas dos raíces tengan una seguridad determinada y puedan gobernar el mundo con orgullo y plena satisfacción de si mismo. Por cuanto tiempo estará el negro satisfecho de ser un sirviente, le ser un eselavo? La hora de demostrar nuestra altivez ha llegado; se escucha la llamada augusta para que todos los elementos de la raza formen un solo frente y se mantengan dignos erectos y firmes, demandando un reconocimiento de decoro para todos los pigmentados. Si nos presentamos débiles y sin preparación, nuestro plan de combate será nulo, y por grandiosa que sea la teoria que lo inspire, cuando logremos el punto práctico, lo real, lo efectivo de la lucha será contraproduce, al medio y circunstancias impuestas por esta época de acometividad y nervio, para abordar lo trascendental y máximo del problema de nuestra independencia y de nuestra liberación. Si nos presentamos sumisos seguiremos siendo humillados; y lo sagrado de la causa de nuestra libertad, será sumergido en el profundo mar de las decepciones. Hombres y mujeres de mi raza en el mundo, desde esta mi celda de prisionero, donde sufro por haber defendido la causa mas noble en los anales de mi raza; desde esta prisión os suplico que os unáis, os ruego que colaboréis al magno movimiento en que esta empenada nuestra organización, y en unión perfecta veléis por vuestros propios intereses, iegando a vuestros hijos mas honor, mas personalidad, mas respeto para si, para que puedan llevar con orgullo el título de verdaderos hombres y no de meros esclavos. Que no haya division de color en nuestras filas tijemos todos que el punto capital porque se nos aveja y malraja es porque somos negros. Por lo tanto, sin accidentes de colores, seamos con orgullo miembros de una sola raza. Tal hombre tan oscuro de piel ha sido despiadadamente maltratado por siglos; pero si el hiciera mayor esfuerzo y se leventara a la altura de la ocación actual, podría hallarse en magnificas condiciones y con orgullo llamarse a sí mismo un factor importante en la gran suma de los acontecimiento humanos. La gran Etiopia extiende sus manos llamando a sus hijos todos a las armas; es decir, a las armas del poder industrial y comercial. No permitáis que vuestros hijos e hijas se desorienten; que respondan todos a la llamada porque la raza tiene que triunfar, tan pronto llevantemos el contingente poderoso de esos cuatrocientos millones, fuerza mas que pujante, para imponer nuestra justicia, nuestro honor y nuestra dignidad tan sometida y ultrajada por las que se titulan razas superiores. Por lo que al negro respecta, no debe existir limitación de tiempo y lugar. El este, el sur, el norte y el oeste son meramente limitaciones geográficas, convencionalmente aplicadas en un orden científico en beneficio de las razas dominantes. El hombre de color debe pasar por encima de estos convencionalismos e ir unido a la consecución de sus derechos inculcados. Levantáos pues, hermanos de la raza, y haced que vuestro poder industrial y comercial os conquiste la porción de mundo que os pertenecce. El inmenso continente africano, según lo han planeado las otras razas, vendrá a ser el mercado de explotación; será la tierra inhospitable de las otras razas, mientras Europa este en manos del hombre blanco y Asia sea controlada por el hombre amarillo. Inconcientemente el hombre negro durmío por espacio de quinientos años, y por consiguiente dio la impresión al avaro y envidioso mundo, que todos eran bienvenidos a la madre patria de muestros antepasados. Pero hoy dia el negro esta despiertó y muy alerta y dice a los inturos: "Habeis cogido bastante de esta tierra indefensa; ni un paso mas allá de lo que habeis usurpado". El Africa suministra enarenta millones de esclavos al mundo occidental; el Africa sangra para que otros piedan vivir. Pero en la actualidad con Africa despues de la heridas infligidas, se ha respuesto de su infilción y en pleno vigor sus hombres y sus mujeres estan en la defensa de los queques de un mundo loco por expresión y poderio.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1986 La revolución solo espera que la antorcha se prenda en Egipto. Zaghul Pasha, jefe nacionalista y abierto opositor al dominio inglés, prejdijo la revuelta en entrevista con la United Press. Egipto, dijo, hasido gobierno por una "dictadura enmascarada" desde el asesinato, hace un año, de Sir Lee Stack, gobernador general del Sudón y jefe del ejército egiptico. El choque parece inevitable para Zaghul. Las fuerzas de la oposición, continuó, están activas en Egipto. De un lado está el pueblo; del otro el gabinete. Uno de los dos debe ceder o de otro modo el choque es inevitable. No será el pueblo quien ceder. El veterano estadistas continua: No deseo predecir la forma del choque. Eso depende de los acontecimientos. Egipto ha estado un año sin gobierio.constitucional. El ministerio no se presenta ante el parlamento ni convoca elecciones. legales. Es una dictadura disfrazada bajo el águila inglesa. Se nos dice que Egipto es independiente, pero es imposible ser simultáneamente independiente y dependiente de un poder extranjero. Zaghul es el jefe indiscutible de los egipcios. De los doscientos doce diputados del último parlamento, doscientos eran saadistas, como se denomina a los partidarios de Zaghul. Ahmed Ziwar Pasha, que se enegargo del gobierno cuando Zaghul fue constrenido a abandonar el primer ministerio, después del asesinato de Sir Lee, era anteriormente saadista, pero se sentió a las demandas del rey Fuad y los británicos al efecto de disolver el parlamento y modificar la ley electoral. Ha expedido un decreto aboliendo la elección de los diputados por el voto popular directo, en la esperanza de obtener as una mayoría. El Egipto boycoteó las elecciones de Ziwar. Los funcionarios se negaron a redactar las listas electorales y veinte y seis de ellos han sido enjuiciados en Tala por esta falta. Sus abogados alegan que el decreto sobre la ley electoral violaba la constitution y que el golbero, no los actuales prisoneros, debieron ser enjuiciados. El tribunal de Tala fue rodeado por las tropas. Si el veredicto es contrario a los veinte y seis funcionarios, la revuella sera probable y las tropas tendrán bastante trabajo. El pueblo cielo a Zagul y le gustaría que ahora volviera al poder, a pesar del rey Fuad, uno de los varios reyes que la Gran Bretaña mantiene en tantos tronos de esta parte del mundo. La gran Bretaña trató de pacificar al Egipto con la concesión de una cama independencia después de la gran guerra. Una comisión presidida por Lord Milnes visitó el país e hizo recomendaciones que eventualmente dieron por resultado la colocación de un egipcio en el trono, pero dejó la mano británica demasiado apretada alrededor del verdadero poder, para que esto pudiera gustar a los egipcios nacionalistas. Millones de seres pertenecientes a todas las razas, y en todo el mundo, se saluidan unos a otros con estas palabras, para celebrar el nacimiento de una Nueva Vida. Por diez y nueve siglos ha sido la costumbre intercambiar buenos augurios en estos días, y durante estos largos años, aquel gran Judio que predice la humifdad, la pobreza y el amor, ha sido criminalmente representado e interpretado. ¿Qué atrocidades no se han cometido y siguen cometiéndose en su nombre! Aquel que andaba descalzo y vivía entre pescadores, enseñé a perdonar y a amar a los enemigos, y-a "ofrecer la otra mejilla". Vanas frases que repiten todos los años y que nunca practican. Àño Nuevo! y nuestras misias, nuestras odios y nuestras errores son los mismos, y seguirán quizá siendo los mismos hasta que no quede de nuestro planeta, como decía el ilustre Echeguray, "más que una osamenta fria rodando por el espacio". Y hay quien, tenga el valor todavía de llamarre cristiano miérntas odie al católico, al judio, al negro, al budista, o al asteroite! Pues bien, ya que nada se pierde en dormir, esperamos que eligen dis el cristianismo cuesta de sir una palabra vacía y que quirá verdaderamente practicado por los cristianos. Amén. JOSH M.

Asia Contra Europa Una Liga de Naciones Asiática es preconizada en una serie de artículos publicados en la presan turca y en los cuales se censura durante la actual Liga de Naciones. Por dondequiera en los diarios se ve la condenación de la decision del consejo de la Liga sobre Mosul, entregado a la Gran Bretagna mediante el mandato en Irak. Los diarios añaden que Turquia no esta dispuesta a incorporarse en la Liga actual. Hasta aqui el consejo de ministros ha lo logrado llegar a una decision respecto del curso de acción de Turquia hacia la adjudicación de Mosul a Irak. El ministro del exterior turco y los otros delegados ante la Liga maiffestaron, al regresar a Turquia,antes de que el consejo dictara su fallo, que de antemano se sabia cría favorable a la Gran Bretana, que la cuestión dependía ahora de lo que decidiera la asamblea nacional reunida en Auguora. Protestan contra una instrucción obligatoria La instrucción militar obligatoria en las escuelas y universidades se ha presentado como asunto de suma importancia, visto las diferentes ideas de algunos centros educativos. La acencia de la facultad de la Universidad de esta ciudad votando para que se continue con el entrenamiento militar como parte del programa de estudios de la Universidad; ha movido una vehementa agitación contra ello entre los estudiantes, llamando también la atención el cariz que ha tomado la discusión en otros centros universitarios del país. Los que se oponen al entremiento e instrucción militar acusan de que la instrucción es obligatoria y que la dirigida por oficiales de ejecución asignados como instructores por el departamento de la Guerra. Los estudiantes de la Universidad del estado de Ohio, celebraron una elección, en la cual el sentimiento general fue el de suspender la instrucción militar. La elección no fue sancionada por las autoridades de la Universidad, pero la actitud de los estudiantes tal como se expreso en el resultado de la elección, se crece ya a la tener mucha influencia en la decision que akancen los rectores de digua Universidad.

STUART-YOUNG of Ophita, Nigeria, West Africa After all, my allegation that life as presented by modern fictionists is further away from actuality than it was in the time of Dickens and Thackway and Kingsley must be placed at the door of the public. They demand exaggeration and distortion just as they ask for jazz. Veracity in facing the facts of life is no more a characteristic of Lawrence, Joyce, Dreiser and Bennett than it was of Jane Austin. We overeasers writers go back to Victorian and Georgian stories with a feeling of positive relief, after a debauch of modern fiction—whether that fiction come from Mudda's crowded book-shelves or from the over-flowing magazine stalls of Smiths. Each literary generation necessarily detaches itself from its predecessor. It tries to shape its material nearer to its immediate environment. But the fundamentals of life remain unshaken. No sane essayist, a Middleton Murry, Robert Lynd or Hugh Walpole, would become so exalted with the egotism of the present as to despair the past. None of them would declare this age newly significant for telling the truth, while the Victorian or the Georgian age sought ravagously for the romantic and the false. The difference of presentment is always one of mood. Personally I prefer the mood of Dickens, Thackeray, Austen, Kingsley. West Africa gives me a life unspoiled by the clamours of the modern mart; and I need repose for more than stimulation. I claim to be an authentic "Coaster," and lance I will have no dealing with aggressive advancement. I pose as an eater of the lotus. How shall the tropic-level hold council with the commercial manatee who sees our glorious forests in terms of so many tons of copy? What shall be said to that fiercely administrative sland which estimates the African population in units of mass production? Obviously the out-and-out tropic dweller is a rare bird. He has to be caught young and inoculated strongly against the virus of *City Bush* and *Clamour*. There are hundreds of men of my acquaintance who live only on the skin of Nigeria—men who habituate the clubs, play bridge every night, meet the feminine white community for endless fox-trotting, and who bum or whistle "What'll I Do?" and "Marcheta," during the animal (transitory) period of these raging music-hall numbers' existence. They call themselves "Coasters." They might more truly call themselves Doctors. They'd have half their natural lives in "blue rags"; and they attire their household staff in immaculate white钻丝 and serene camouflage. Their thoughts are with civilization night and day. It is this type of overseas dueller who enthuses so pliably about Edgar Wallace, Harold Bindloss and Seth Merrimack, as expents of life in Africa. "Snaply amound how these writer-delvers get beneath the surface, don't you know? Whatch? They are not sentimentalists, who see West Africa as a land of sellectivity. They know of the sun being oftener a hundred and ten in the shade than it is at a Rivera degree of moderation. Hence they discern the raw corners; and they are not afraid to show the leaper gears at any life. Thank the Lord. I am due for pension in another seven years. My regular three months' leave on full pay arrives each eighteen months to break the monotony, or I should crack up beneath the strain. That pleasant vacation in the Homeland is the only thing I really care about, until pension day becomes a present reality. The big town here are all right to till the intervals; but Coast life without European food and European culture would be simply hideous. Give me the City of the World every time—a pretty girl to bunch, the afternoon inside a cinema, then dinner at the Saves, and any all-night dance at the Midnight "Folies." That's the type of "coaster" the novelists know. He would carry Bayswater or Kensington Gore or Park Lane with him to Ching or Peru. He could not live without his morning newspaper, and he has the Daily Mail sent to him in weekly batches, so that he may three or four weeks after the event, read how Baldwin faced the political crisis, or how Bryan turned the tables on the Advanced Thinker. Needless to add, eggs and bacon, coffee, and toasty and marmalade grace his breakfast table in Legis just as they do in London. The essential truth is that none of us, saint or sinner, millionaire or miner, novelist or navy, can observe the pageant of life without a theory. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Nor can we place our observations on record without betraying theory to the critic's discerning powers. Should a reader at this juncture murmur "Dickens!" I would feel inimiled quite happily to admit the soft impeachment. One might indeed follow a much less sure guide than the greatest of the Victorians! He was one of the few who know.

AVERAGE LIFE SPAN IN 2,000 TO BE 100 YEARS So Says Dr. Hart in Address Before Fellow Members of Sociological Society—Many Will Live More Than 200 Years NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Dr. Hornell Hart of Bryn Mawr College autonished his fellow members in the American Sociological Society at A meeting at Columbia University yesterday afternoon by predicting that the average length of life of persons born in 2000 A.D. would be at least 100 years and that many would live more than 200 years. Men and women 100 years old would be a normal sight about the streets, he said, but instead of being wrinkled and crippled they would be for their vigorous prime. Professor Hart's paper closed a day's program in the course of which Dr. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community Church, had at one session precipitated a warm discussion when he attacked present methods of the logical education and declared that religion and not Christianity should be taught. He insisted that, a creative understanding study, of psychology would do more good to a man "than all the study of all the prophecies, including Jesus of Nazareth." Dr. Hart in his paper pointed out that the average expectation of life had increased from twenty-one years in 1550 to more than fifty years in 1910. Since 1550, he said, the average gain per decade had been three and two tenths years—a rate he thought would be maintained and even accelerated. The fact that the world had already regulated the loss in expectation of life resulting from the war was advanced as confirmation of his prediction. Medical science, he said, was making progress in combating diseases of later life and discoveries were being made faster all the time, with no indication that the major possibilities in the development of preventive medicine had been exhausted. At the same session L. E. Bowman of Columbia presented a paper in which he said that Italians, Australians, Russians and Greeks, comprising the newer immigrants, were rapidly displacing the older Irish and German immigrants in Manhattan communities. Dr. Holmes structures on theological training came at the juncheon of the section on the sociology of religion. Speaking on the subject of "What ought to be done?" he called most theological courses useless, regretted that he had wasted "three precious years" on studies that had been of no service and books that he had never owned again and advocated that sociology, psychology and history be substituted for the orthodox courses. He predicted that the church of the future would have a faculty of ministers, each at the head of one installment, the result being that from sheer economic necessity churches would be drawn to combine. Dr. William A. Browne of Union Theological Seminary took untestable exception to Dr. Holmes' statements, although he agreed that social sciences should play a more important role in a minister's training. WEEKLY SERMON Text: "The Son shall Not Bear the Iniquity of the Father." Ezekiel 18:20. Subject: "Limiting Our Faiths" For generations it has been com- monly accepted as an unescapable truth that the sins of the fathers fall upon their sins. This is generally ac- cepted because we have not stopped to analyze the statement, nor reliably sought to understand God, and in His relation to man. There is a law of retribution; but to visit the innocent, when this subject has been doing all the wrong to demon- strate on the side of right, would be to prove that God is arbitrary and man the arbiter of his destiny. The words of my text were spoken by the prophet Ezekiel, who communed with God and spoke out of the oracles of that God, whom he had learned to trust and serve. He was right when he declared this truth, and others found it to their advantage to impress the human family differently. It is my purpose in these weekly messages to bring you the truth, for in its study you shall find freedom. First, the son shall not bear the sin of the father, because they are each God's children. Since God is in our father, and He is blameless, how then, can the human equation enter into our affairs, except through our faiths and teachings. We are visited by the sins of our fathers if we accept, the limitations of the flesh. We can bear the sins of our fathers if we owe allegiance to our earthly parents to the exclusion of acknowledging the new birth in Christ Jesus. We limit our faith in the relation we accept toward God, and the forces of right. Many people suffer and are unhappy because they believe that inherited conditions affect their being, and they are bound to the shortcomings of physical ancestry. Secondly, since man is in the offspring of the Almighty, he must have the character of his parent. We are born again, and in this new By J. M.

It is not fully understood by many, who accept the truth. But when we realize our near relation to God and his ability to operate in and through us, we can then demonstrate God's goodness. No son shall hear the sins of the father when he has accepted the prevision, which was made for him the gift of the Son of God, who provided a way of light, truth and life. This light opens up a wondrous vision. This truth frees the mind, soul and body. This life is all abounding and eternal. It is for our heritage. All we have got to do is to accept its grace. Our faith must be endless and eternal as God, our Father. We are masters of our destiny. Why not, then, accept the Christ and demonstrate His love by our works. Bishop I. E. Guinn, B. M. 759 W.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM The members and friends of the Universal Improvement Association cannot be perfectly happy during the Christmas season when they remember that their leader is still incarcerated. We had hoped that with the coming of the holiday season we would have our leader with us. Although we grieve as his imprisonment, we are consolled by the thought that Nocross have at last found one in the race who is willing to fight and die if necessary, for the freedom of our people. We believe in the leadership of the Honorable Marcus Garvey and that God will return him to us in due time. Our greatest hope is that the membership will remain true to the organization and carry on loyalty until his return. D. BUCHANAN. Port Antonio, B. W. I. Patience and Zeal Will Overcome the Opposition To the Editor of The Negro World: The Universal Negro Improvement Association is in the midst of a great struggle. The Honorable Marcus Garvey has conceived and given to us a plan for the deliverance of four hundred million Negroes. The U. N. I. A is a new school which is teaching us the things that we ought to know about ourselves. People are ever slow to grasp that which is new or unusual. The U. N. I. A has given us a new thought, a new aim, a new racial outlook and desire. The Honorable Marcus Garvey has found the way to freedom and a place in the turn, for 400,000,000 Negroes. Members of the U. N. I. A, need feel no embarrassment because the teachings of their leader are not accepted by all. So it was with the teachings of Christ. The day will finally come when our leader will not only get freedom but recognition by all. Let us work with patience and zeal until that day comes. W. B. LEWIS. To the Editor of The Negro World: I am a very poor white woman who cannot help you cause friendliness, but I burn to express my sympathy for your "Africa for the Africans" movement. I also hope to see your leader free. If he were white, he would not be kept so long in prison. Here is a poem I composed to be sung to the time of "Houlish Land." Nothing helps a cause like a few good slogan songs such as can be easily memorised by all of the people: O Africa, my native land, In as in golden sun I stand, And throw across the bitter sea. The broken wail of Simon Loge, And view my own, my shining shore. Where the white devil dominates no more. O Africa, my native land. I owe my soft, dark skin to thee; And they can strip it from my bones. If that will set my country free. My lustrous eyes should love their light. And all my blood flow out for thee. Amen! Amen! Amen! MRS. MARIE FOULKES. New York, N. V. Look with the Eye Single And Success Will Be Ours The question is now before us: How shall he solve the problem of today that we may enjoy the freedom of tomorrow? I suggest that we close one eye and look through the other. What eye should we look through? Some may suggest that we look through the eye of churchlanity. I say no; for the last fifty years churchlanity has failed to solve the problem. Some might say EDON'T BE Unlucky! A Magic Shaving Powder will give you a clean, healthy shave, without using razor.

Magic Shaving Powder Company Savannah, Georgia MAGIC SHAVING POWDER Savannah, Georgia that we look through the eye of prayer. I say no that prayer alone will not solve the problem. Some may say through the eye of societies. I say no that has failed. Some through the eye of amalgamation and miscegement. I say no; this will fail. The eye that has solved the problem of the white man and the yellow man is the eye through which we must look. Looking through this eye has the Hon. Marcus Garvey founded the U. N. I. A. for the emancipation of four hundred million black people, and it is the only salvation for the black man of tomorrow. If the U. N. I. A. with its 900 Divisions, would look through one eye, hear through one ear, speak with the voice, rally with one determination, and close the eye of individuality, and unselfishness, success will be ours, and our telegrams to the president of the U. N. I. A. will bring to us freedom for the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Resolve to Achieve, Then Go Forward To the Editor of The Negro World, "The greatest thing 'in the world today is life.' All things in this world center around life here. Only a small part of it around life becomes, and even 'most of this small part' is engaged with the problem of death. To teach us how to live, as well as how to die, then, seems, to be the chief function of education. The challenge follows; How to live in the multitudinous relationships which our present day civilization, with all of its complexity, enforces upon us. Some one has called it "Preparation for complete living." The essential question for us is "How to live" in the way of sense, not material. The general problem which includes every special problem is the right ruling of conduct in all directions and in all circumstances. Some of the things in answer will be: In what way to treat the body and the mind; how to manage our affairs; to bring up a family; to behave as a citizen; to virtualize all these sources of happiness which mature supplies; to help us our facilities to the greatest advantage to ourselves and others. "How to live completely." Youth should come to a realization of the definite, clearly conceived purpose. This would lend us to think of life as something of certain specific ends to be accomplished. "Today being the first Sunday of the month is set as international day for Honorable Marcus Garvey." The program covers the five sides of human life, namely: Physical, mental, moral, social and religious—all this with the end in view that "today, Make Men." Now, when our activities include the welfare and happiness of others, as well as ourselves, then they, readily become freighted with immoral powers, because as such these manifest benevolence, cooperative activities are more in keeping with the universal Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood and exemplary nature of man. Perseverance in life's ideals will mean continued progress for the race. That race will survive which faces the good and the evil with courage and faith and justice. All of our learning will mean little unless supported by high character, for which there is no substitute, added to this morality and religious convictions. We must bow our knees upon the underlying stone of Christianity. Other foundation can no man lay, save that laid on Jesus Christ. We must be clothed with new thought and power, which shall find service to purer lives, in deeper reverence. In the Proverbs we read: "A race without a vision soon perisheth." The same is true of an individual. Having a vision that is so far-reaching and wide-stretching that there is little room for anything else, will spur us on. "Vision is the power of purpose." Only because one lacks this vision. Select a brand new 1 family, 6 room, house with enclosed glass-porch, tile and shower bath, parquet floor, steam, electric gas, hot water and other improvements.

There is in us that which, if developed, will make us rise as far above our present selfs and circumstances a钻石 in far above a lump of coal in material value. It all lies within our thought. Determine to make ourselves develop that larger thing in us. Resolve, regardless of the coil to become whatever we have in us to become. Think it out first, then go ahead. If we will but visualize in our minds, determine in our hearts, we will master the habits of thought, that are keeping us from becoming what we want to be and can be. The change will come slowly, perhaps, gradually, and almost imperceptibly. It will require will power, resourcefulness, imagination, initiative, courage and decision. The transformation in us will be magical, spiritual and even physical. Very often the reason, we fall of achievement is because of the mistaken notion that we cannot do a thing. Let us try by all means to develop the right trend of thought. We must "tune in" messages of cheer and helpfulness in our broadcasting, for we receive over the wires just as we send out. As we grow, so shall our environment grow, and our influence will develop for good, and we will be the broad, earnest, helpful person God intended us to be. "As a man thinketh, so is he." My life's challenge and yours are reciprocal. We must be open-minded. In following Booker Washington's advice to "Dip down our buckets where we are" we must also remember the church is fundamental to the proper uplift of human society everywhere. In every generation its beauty and effect of the great moral influence, ministered by every race of people through the helpful incesses to correct human service in society will be felt.

Education Is Negro's Hope: Bishop Asserts The future salvation of the Negro in America is to be very largely determined by the educated members of the race. Bishop Riversley C. Ransom of the African Methodist Church told delegates attending the annual convention of the Kappa Alpha Pol Fraternity, a Negro Greek letter society, in the annual sermon in Borgel A. M. E. Church, 62 West 51st street. Bishop Ransom said it will be the duty of the educated Negro to bridge the chasm of misunderstanding now existing between the two races; that the white people of the South who have shown that deep down in their hearts they love the Negro by their kindly treatment to their servants, must be freed of their traditional hostility toward the forward thinking Negro and convinced that type of Negro is no menace; and that the white people of the North must be awakened from their apathy toward the race and also changed in some of their views. The campaign being conducted by Pullman porters was touched on, and also the efforts of Soviet Russia to win American Negroes to its ranks. "If you get up in the morning with a smile, the day's work will be easier, the people around you will be pleasanter and you will have a much better time out of life."

No Longer Submissive — Some Reasons Why Russia Is the Nightmare of Powerful Nations of Today MOSCOW (PP). Soviet policy in Asia is dictated by the idea of a non-capitalist social and economic unit striving from the Baltic sea on the west to the Pacific on the east and far south as the intrenched British imperialism from time to time may be forced to yield. Economic and social opportunities in Asia and the pressing necessity for some escape from the western blockade led the Soviet republic to formulate the major strategy of the eastern policy along three general lines: (1) Establishing intimate relations with Persia, Turkey and Afghanistan, and thus editing the British empire in two by severing connections between Egypt and India; (2) winning China; (3) buying out Japan by granting economic concessions which she could not afford to refuse. The fulfillment of such a program necessitated a series of negotiations the ultimate object of which was the exclusion of western imperialist nations from participation in economic and social advantages of the Eurasian Soviet unit. The British empire with the occupation of Arabia, the assimilation of control over Persia and Egypt, the mandates over Mesopotamia and the successes in the Caucasus had been so extended, that British control existed over a range of territory running from the Cape of Good Hope to the Straits of Malacca. In the near east, British operations centered about the oil fields. From these vantage points the British shut down the Baku oil fields in order to deprive the Russians of their fuel supply. At the same time they prepared the Anglo-Persian agreement of 1819, under which Persia became a virtual part of the empire. Two years later this imposing imperial structure had fallen to pieces like a house of cords. Turkey was self-governing and was defying the allies; Persia was a free nation; Afghanistan was independent and the Caucasian oil fields were under Soviet control. The change was revolutionary. It was brought about almost exclusively by Soviet diplomacy and propaganda. CHANGE CHANGE YOUR LUCK! Rend quick!

HOW TO MAKE STNERS LOVE YOU Comments on Disposition Of the Wealth of the We reproduce below two editorial opinions on the unusual bequest of the late Frank A. Murrey, publisher, who left the greater portion of his vast fortune to the Metropolitan Art Museum of New York: THE WORLD—Mr. Munsey's will shows how casual can be, the power that great wealth exercise. The bulk of his fortune will go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art because of a will made in June, 1921. According to Mr. Dewart, who was one of the executors, the will antedates not only "the most successful and prosperous period of his career," but it antedates as well plans Mr. Munsey was considering just before he died for mutualizing in part his newspaper properties. Yet that casual and inadventive act converts Mr. Munsey after death into one of the greatest patrons of the arts the world has ever known. By this curious turn of events the museum becomes the most powerful magnet for works of art anywhere and Mr. Munsey's fortune is destined to alter in important ways the distribution of the accumulated masterpieces of mankind. The power of wealth is indeed strange and fanciful. THE ATLANTA JOURNAL—Fredrick A. Munsey's bequest of the greater portion of his fortune to the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a happy evidence of a growing appreciation of the part which interests of this nature play in the world's life and soul. Men of far vision and of high achievement see more and more that art is no luxurious afterthought of civilization, but a thing essential to a people's welfare and to the flowering of the human spirit. As a result of Mr. Munsey's magnificent gift the Metropolitan Museum, already a wonder of the world, will become more than ever potent as an educational influence and as a beacon to beauty's shores. Great hearted men and women of the South, to whom Providence has committed large means and who wish to leave worthy memorials of their devotion, cannot do better than provide for the promotion of art interests and the encouragement of artistic talent in their home States and cities. So doing, they will open richer and higher realms of life for millions of their countrymen and will become creators in the footsteps of the Creator from whom beauty ever streams in star and flower and soul.

Glencoe, MN TOKIO, Jan. 4.—The War, Office has announced that all troops will be withdrawn from Mukden before January 8, except the regulation railway and consulate guards. It was stated also that, Marshal Chang Tso-Lin had messaged his regrets over the rebellion involving his lieutenant, Kuo Sung-Lin, and promised future peace in Manchuria. Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the dominant Manchurian, who has just defeated an army, of dissenters from his own ranks, will not be merciful. The temper of the victorious Chang was indicated in Foreign Office salves received here today from Mukden. The dispatcher said that eight civil officials, adherents of the defeated General Kuo Sung-Lin, were still refugees in the Japanese consulate at Sinninfu, but Chang is insisting that the men be turned over to him. Chang has refused, without qualifications, to honor a petition from the Japanese consulate asking for mercy for the men who have sought haven at Sinninfu. Japan has taken a different view of the matter, however, instructing the consuls and railway guards near Sinninfu that the men are protected at all costs. This order creates a delicate situation between Chang and the Japanese Government. It is expected that extra Japanese guards will be sent from Mukden to Sinninfu for the purpose of escorting the refugees to the Consulate at Mukden.
