Be Not Dismayed; Carry On!
Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting:
I am not surprised over the news that reached me regarding my release from prison, as I am conscious of all that is being done to keep me confined, so as to disrupt the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The subterfuges that men of affairs use to carry out the bidding of strong powers make me wonder if there is anything like justice and equity to be found where might prevails. Justice as meted out in this age of greed and selfishness is left more to the personal feeling of those charged with administering it than to its ethical interpretation or the corporate demands of the community or society; hence the merits of one's pleas are not considered when other ends must be served by the high and mighty.
I sought to emancipate the millions of Negroes all over the world from political and industrial thraldom, which was too big an effort for rivals within my own race to stand, while those of other races who profit by exploitation and enslavement regarded me as a dangerous menace to be gotten rid of by all means; hence the com-
will tell; but I am of the firm belief that "truth one day will get a hearing," and then the shame and disgrace, if any, will be rightly placed.
My head is as high as Olympus. My character is as firm as Gibraltar's rock, and no judge, jury nor prosecutor in the world shall make me a criminal when I am not. In prison I feel happy knowing that I am only occupying a cell intended for others whose morality is below mine, and whose consciences can make them nothing but cowards. I believe in God: I believe in a final judgment of the soul. I am satisfied to wait until then to face my accusers and condemners. And may the Lord have mercy on their souls.
The legal documents of my trial and my policy for the future guidance of the Association have been compiled by my wife. They comprise the second volume of my Philosophy and Opinions, and I want each and every member of the Association to secure a copy, read it and preserve it, so that posterity will know the tremendous odds we have had to face in the promulgation of our program of "Africa for the Africans."
Push forward the work of the Association with every ounce of energy and force in your being and let the world know that eleven million determined Negroes are serious when they say, "We will live like men or die like men." Be not dismayed. I am cheerful, even though I am not well physically, because I see a brighter day dawning for the black man, and he alone can hasten it by being firm in his purpose and faithful to his trust.
With God's blessing on you, believe me to be,

The following article, culled from The Gold Coast Times, a discriminating West African journal, in reproduced for the benefit of Negro World readers:
In the speech of Sir Frederick Lusard, to which we referred in a recent issue of this journal, he made the assertion that the European Powers which had accepted the obligations of trustees were charged with the duty of assisting the evolution of native communities by a system of education adapted to their needs and by the introduction of such systems of government as would foster a sense of responsibility and public service and eradicate the servile habit of mind among the people. We have dealt with the other aspects of the subject. We have dealt with the kind of education needed by our people and also the quality of public services required of them—the serfless devotion to the press, evasion of the rights of the people. The resistance on the necessity of eradinating the servile habit of mind among the people is significant, judging from the quarter from which this wise counsel proceeds. Sir Frederick Lusard himself, as Governor of Nigeria, did not appear to have aimed at the eradication of this servile habit of mind which in his time took the outward form of grovelling, not only on the part of the low class people of the Nigerian Protectorate, but by the rattling chiefs like the Emiris and others who came prostrating before him and his white officials, to say nothing of the compulsory salutation demanded by his white officers from the educated Indians in Nigeria. But, as we have heard the other day, process is generally begin to take a wide low of calm and to be magnificent in towards Africans after they are retired from the field of administration and are no longer in a position of subject activities to austerities.
This servile attitude of mind among some of our people is a kind of mental affection, hereditary in nature and rather difficult to overcome, transmitted from a former generation in whom it was germinated by the early Christian missionaries. Before the advent of Christianity, when our people were devoted to their own native religions, the servile attitude towards the white man was absent in them; and we have the early records of the struggles and diplomatic dealings of our ancestors with the various white races who settled in this country, one after the other, to support this view. Our ancestors showed disregard to the white servants who proved themselves worthy of respect and utmost consideration, but they certainly did not look upon them as superior beings, nor did they erase and fawn before them in the way some of our estimable leaders now do. They were ruthless and tactful in their conversations with foreigners, but where it was necessary to emphasize a point they neither disliked nor cloaked their views. They never in a hurry to say, "yes, sir," and when they said "no," it was "no," and this can be placed to their credit that in all the treaties they entered into with the British Government, including the Bond of 1844 they on their best kept their obligations both in the war and in the spirit.
the entire attitude of mind observing some of our people in the office the doctrine of the superiority of the white man instilled into the life of their converts by the early missioner who were careful to say about the essential equality of human beings, and the influence this teaching has prevailed to such consent that some black men would like theidding of the white man that their better judgment and at some in the hurt of their own lives the steps of black men whose lives has developed in such an
atmosphere regard it as lack of civility or even a sin, to argue with a white man on any subject, or to try to dissuade him from pursuing a policy that would be detrimental to our racial interests. The consequence is that white men are often led to do certain things which they would refrain from doing if those among our people whom they consult do not, through over-politeness or fear, encourage them. Even now we have some well educated people who will say "yes, sir" to whatever a white man tells them when they mean nothing of the sort; and few among us can realize the harm that has been caused by the use of that simple phrase. If Africans, whatever be their station in life, will always have the courage to say "no" when it is necessary to differ and be able to give their reasons for dissenting from the white man's views, we shall be making rapid progress towards the establishment of proper understanding between black and white.
We agree with Sir Frederick Lugard in this respect that the service attitude of mind must be eradicated, and initiative, freedom of thought and frankness of expression encouraged among them. What is needed is candy on the part of the people and firm but respectful criticism of methods, whether they be governmental or commercial. It is on our part to place the white man in a position to know what policies we are likely to oppose, and although he may make a show of ignoring our views and of pursuing the even tenor of his way, he cannot continue to do so for long once we are limited to safeguard our interests.
It is necessary to point out, however, that the servile attitude of mind still encouraged by some white men in order to sustain that artificial thing known as the "white man's prestige". We are all familiar with the fact that the black man who lacks initiative and is weak-minded and, keeps nodding assent to whatever he is told gets on better with Europeans on the Coast than the native who betrays originally in ideas and is strong-minded. And we are all also aware that the black man who dissents, when he is convinced that it would be wrong to assent, is regarded by the white man in West Africa, as being "too wide-awake", "a piece of lawyer", an obstructionist and "one perpetually engaged in opposition to constituted authority". But it is not only the individual African of independent mind and having the courage of his convictions who is the object of the jealous hatred of officials and others, for even a whole community may be marked "davil" "blue-hooked" "for being no blunt with its views". Even so, results have always shown that those who offer criticism, without fear or favor, do the best service to mankind, and this has often been confessed by those who are extremely avenge to criticism. For ourselves we are convinced that the only way to promote better understanding between black and white in Africa is for each race to realize its position in relation to the other, and there is no better way of doing so than to encourage plain speaking.
Minister Owns a Bible
Four Centuries Old
Centralis, Wash. Jan. 25.—A bible printed in Germany in 1521, is owned by the Rev. J. M. Cause, pastor of the First Methodist Church here.
The text is entirely in Latin and on the title page is the inscription "L. Coell Lactanli," Beneath it is a list of chapters. At the end of the volume is a notation, "Basislea, Apvd Andreas Cratandrum, Menee February, Anno MDXXI."
The volume, still in good state of preservation, was in a consignment of books brought from two old Catholic monasteries in Europe, and was purchased by the Rev. Mr. Cause in Fort Wayne, Ind; twenty years ago.

Negrb School Teachers Ignored by Governor In Call of Conference
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-Governor Baker has called a conference of school executives, teachers and tax experts in Jefferson City for Tuesday, January 26, to consider his new tax bill for the raising of educational funds. Although Negro taxpayers will help raise the money, Negro educational leaders were not included. The proposed bill would tax amusements and all forms of tobacco and is expected to yield a revenue of $8,000,000 annually. The president of the State university, the heads of the five State, teacher colleges, the president of the Missouri State Teachers' association and other educational leaders were invited. Dr. N. B. Young, president of Lincoln University was not invited, nor were any officers of the Negro teachers' association.
Can the Leopard Change Its Spots?
Well, Read the Following and Then Inquire of the Chicago Defender
Famed Foe of Negro, Nationhood Sees Some Good in Africa, After All
[Wall, we have lived to see it: the Chicago Defender passively; though none the less surely, encouraging "Americans of African lineage" to go back to the Motherland. Africa. It seems that it makes all the difference in the world to the Chicago Defender whether it is Garvey, African, with an eye single to Negro, uplift, or Firestone, Caucasian, with an eye single to the exploitation of Negro lands and labor, who sounds the call. When Marcus Garvey initiated his plans for the building up of Liberla, a great hue and cry was raised by the Chicago Defender and its comrades. But far less meritorious plans by white Capitalism receive support. Can the leapard change its spots? Yes. We think so—with the aid of a golden brush and a barrel of tar.-Ed. Negro World.]

While Liberia has a great demand
for stenographers, bookkeepers
and skilled workers, American labor with
its high wages will be unable to
compete with the natives, assert officials
of the Firestone Rubber Company,
who are planning to develop Liberia
as a source for an American rubber
supply.
The pay of the unskilled laborer is
24 cents per day. This scale will be
raised, but even if it is doubled it is
obvious that the American laborer
cannot compete with the natives, they
state. With 15 million acres of rubber
trees under cultivation and the
introduction of American capital
Liberian industry will be revolution-
ized. The American legation is
already preparing for the task of
handling the enormous increase of
official business which has already
been to pass through this office.
This new development offers unlimited opportunity to Americans of African lineage and it is believed that within the next few years a large number will make their home in Liberia. Liberians will use their best efforts to make those who come satisfied, it was announced by Charles D. B. King, President of Liberia. The Firestone Company's propaganda about "low wages" will not hold them back.

Example of Czecho-Slovakia Cited to Show What Can Be Achieved in Nationhood by a Determined and Progressive People—War Cry Recalled
A bulletin, recently issued by the Scots National League, a body which alms at restoring the independence of Scotland, contains the following items: It is wonderful what can be accomplished nowadays in a short space of time. In 1915 English statesmen knew nothing of the Czechs, and the permanent officials at the Foreign Office could not have pointed out where the country of the Czechs lay. Today the Republic of Czecho-Slovakia is an accomplished fact, and is a stable state whose friendship is courteed by the representatives of every government in Europe.
1815 Masaryk was a poor refuge in London, his comrades a few hairdressers, waiters and students, today he is the honored President of the Czecho-Slovak Republic, and his son Jan is his country's ambassador at the Court of St. James. What a lesson for us! Also what tragic thoughts it brings to our memory!
What a force to hear Asquith recalling how he had declared that "We shall never sheath the award until the rights of small nations are vindicated and assured" (Gullibhill, 9-11, 1924) and then to recall the execution of Patrick Pearse, first President of the Irish Republic, and his gallant comrades done to death because they had attempted to gain for their small nation the freedom which Asquith and English statesmen of every party eulogize and aid other struggling peoples in attaining.
What did Aguithu say in 1915? He said: "The Allies are fighting for the liberties of small nations, to the end that they may be left in future free from the tyranny of their more powerful neighbors, to develop their own national life and interests."
This statement, made in the House of Commons, was greeted with prolonged applause. The mere mention of Scotland, or a reference to Scottish Home Rule, in the same House brings nothing but irreal cheer. And the Scots, taking it down.
Talking of this obsolete term, the advocacy of which never brought freedom to any nation, we see by the "Daily Record" that there is a prospect of another Scottish Home Rule Bill seeing the light soon. We admire the zeal and energy although we cannot understand the mental outlook of our "Home Rule" countrymen.
We learn from our general secretary that every member of the English Parliament "representing" a Scottish constituency has received one of our manifestoes with a letter explaining the precise attitude of the Scota National League.
White Women Work for Mixed Marriages Ban
From the Kansas City Call.
The proposal of the Kansas City Council of Club, composed of white women, to start work for State and federal laws: prohibiting the marriages of white and colored people, has drawn criticism from a number of agencies and organizations working for or with Nerroosa.
In a bulletin issued last week, the Community Service Urban League, of which F. T. Lane is secretary, points out that contrary to the statement in the resolution of the club women, mixed marriages are not "on the increase."
The bulletin points out further that "efforts to prevent intermarriage between white and colored people are simply proposals to encourage prostitution and degrade women of Negro descent." In Mississippi, the bulletin says, there are 122,000 acknowledged mulattoes, although the State has a strict law against intermarriage.
Quotations from a resolution of southern white women in a recent conference were given, stating their pledge to see that all womanhood, regardless of color, was given a protection.
The Woman's Interracial Council, composed of white and colored women here of which Mrs. Clement Richardson is president, will take active measures to prevent such a law being placed on the statute books should the matter be pushed any further, according to a statement issued by Mrs. Doll Kelner, vice president.
MARCUS GARVEY'S APPLICATION FOR PARDON HELD "PREMATURE" BY PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES
ATTORNEY-GENERAL RECOMMENDED FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION WITH NINETY-DAY STAY IN COUNTRY TQ ADJUST AFFAIRS
Millions of Negroes the World Over Downcast Over Continued Incarceration of Great Leader
Millions of hearts in the United States and abroad are saddened as the news comes through that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will be forced to stay a little longer in Atlanta Penitentiary. This is a result of the ruling of the Washington authorities on the application for a pardon filed by him shortly after Christmas, President Coolidge a few days ago returned the pardon papers to the Department of Justice with the pronouncement "Premature" marked on them.
So much conjecture and misstatement have characterized the news in the press during the last two weeks relative to the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey that The Negro World feels compelled, much as it prefers silence, since it is an interested party, to recite the facts.
Battling Siki, Victim
Of White Fanatic,
Nightmare of Editors
Mr. Garvey, through his counsel George Gordon, Battle of New York filed his second application for a pardon shortly after Christmas. This was a climax to conferences between the Marcus Garvey Committee on Justice and Mr. George Gordon Battle with officials of the Department of Justice early in December. It was during this time that the case first came to the personal attention of the Hon. John Sargent, Attorney General of the United States, who took it under advertisement.
It may be stated here that Mr. Battle had previously been informed that if Mr. Garvey were willing to leave the country, a second application for pardon (the first having been made several months before) would receive consideration at the hands of the authorities.
Mr. Darvary's second application for a pardon was accordingly forwarded to, Washington, requesting that he be granted ninety days to adjust the affairs of the corporations of which he is the head.
He made special mention of business with the Shipping Board, with whom is still lodged $25,000 belonging to the Black Star Line, Inc.
The Attorney General recommended to the President the granting of a pardon with the understanding that during the ninety days Mr. Garvoy would be in the custody of his attorney, Mr. George Gordon Battle.
Two weeks later the President gave his ruling as mentioned above.
Where Shall Negroes of Memphis Bury Their Dead, Is Question
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 21. The opening of a Negro cemetery in the southeast section of Memphis was stopped by the city Wednesday following a storm of protest from white residents in the vicinity. A decision whether the ban will stand or not, it was said, will be made by Mayor Paine, who will make a personal survey of the territory.
The new Negro cemetery, which was to have been opened on Glakemore avenue, would meet a big need of the race citizens. The withholding of the permits by the city commission followed the voling of protests by a large group of white property owners in southeast Memphis. After a conference by the municipal body it was decided to withhold the permit until the Mayor made an investigation of the territory. The decision as to the granting of the permit will be left, with him.
Property owners and representatives of the Glennview Civic Club opposed the location of the cemetery just south of their section, on the grounds that it would be injurious to property and distasteful to residents. Kenneth Larkey, E. W. Porter and Harry Letty appeared before the commission and voiced vigorous protests as property owners or as their representatives.
In voicing their rights to open the new burial ground C. E. Speers and Henry J. Livingston, promoters, argued that it would not lower property values in the district, since that section is already in a neighborhood of burial grounds. They also maintained that county court had approved of the location after its commission had build a public hearing, at which but few people appeared. The lawyer deserved that he would investigate the present controversy and support a decision on it on his behalf from Washington.
To the Editor, The Negro World:
As an African, and as a full-blooded one too, I beg the liberty to submit my humble views, through this honorable medium, on the prevailing maledictions on Monsieur Louis Phal, alias Battling Sikh, whose untimely death occurred recently at New York. From information to hand, I gather that the majority of the Press, Negro and white, have painted a very lurid and gardonic picture of my kinsman. I hold no brief for Sikh, nor do I attempt to say that his life is worthy of emulation; yet I am inclined to believe that our editors in holding a possessive view of what they call "a jungle man" (they are true to their salt) have the whole situation only from one point of view.
I am not interested in journalistic controversies, yet as a layman, I submit that the inherent qualities of a man do not ultimately brand one as an impossible creature, for if they do, then great men who have passed away would have found no place in our estimations. Let us be concrete. Every student of American literature, in conjunction with Tennyson and Conan Doyle, regards Edgar Allan Poe, as "the greatest American genius and the literary glory of America," yet we learn that Poe was an extraordinary lay and a drunkard!
Says Shakespeare, "The evil that man do lives after them, but the good is oft intered with their bones." So it was with Eattling Siki, the unfortunate African.
That Sikit was one of the greatest pugnists of the Race is a fact which can not be contradicted; that his fame as a soldier is unique, is another fact undeniable; that as a human being he was not infailible, could be easily seen from what the pessimists brand as his "jungle habits."
The fact must not be lost sight of, that Sikit's critics based their criticisms on his drunken habits. They thought that this was a glor on the Race! Can such critics deny the fact that by their editorial positions, the rights and liberties of the Negro race had been sold for "a mess of pottage?" Who is at present living in the United States, that is ignorant of the fact that our editors are depended upon to mould our destiny? Who lives but thinks that these newspaper magnates have not done a lot to retard our progress as a Race?
Monsleur Louis Phal had his "buta" as a human heing; and he was the nightmare of our sol-disant journalists, who are too proud to regard the attalments of " " jungle-man" as unique in the history of the Race.
Finally I submit that drunkness does not stamp an African as a savage or as a jungle-man, for if it does, it must be conceded to be secondary in comparison with the burning, tarring, feathering (or to use the more "broobable" and appropriate "American word"—laughing!) of a human being, in a land claiming to be numbered amongst the foremost civilised nations of the world.
THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION HAS BUILT UP A WORLD PRESTIGE WHICH THE MEMBERSHIP MUST NOT ALLOW THE TRAITOROUS AND TIMOROUS TO DISSIPATE
MARCUS GARVEY WORKED HARD FOR SIX TROUBLOUS YEARS TO BUILD UP THE GREATEST NEGRO ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, January 31.—Liberty Hall was not so crowded tonight as it usually is on the occasions of the Sunday night meetings, due to the very inclement weather that prevailed, but those who braved the weather were amply rewarded. Mr. Sherrill was the principal speaker of the evening and for nearly an hour held the audience spell bound while he dilated upon the virtues of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the prestige it had given to the race in the eyes of the world and the influence it had exerted over Negroes in all parts of the world in bringing about a solidarity of thought and creating a common interest among them. He made an earnest plea to the membership to continue their steadfastness in supporting and carrying on the work and to maintain their loyalty to the cause which has entailed so much sacrifice on their part, and to their leader, Marcus Garvey, who is paying the penalty for the part he has played in unifying the race, and pointing them to an objective that will be the means of the race working out its own destiny.
Hon. William L. Sinerail spoke as follows: The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association -- the thing that we have been working with and paying for for the part seven years -- makes a very serious and important step in the life of the Negro as a people.
The program started with just a few; it started with no Liberty Hall; it started with no property; it started simply with a mead of individuals who felt and thought alike relative to the problems that face the race. But the Association has grown in proportion year after year until now the Association has reached almost everywhere. Negroes everywhere have had instilled into them a racial pride that they had not known before. There has been given to them a patronism of which they had no knowledge or feeling before, for Africa. It has instilled the Negro and, if nothing more, it has at least prepared the Negro as a race for the following of his own leadership and the working out of his own racial destiny.
All over the world now we have got Negroes just like Negroes in Liberty Hall, who think and feel like you relative to the race question. Tonight in the West Indies, and in Central America and Africa, Negroes who have been reading the Negro World and hearing Garvey's speeches feel now just like you do about this movement, and they are standing now ready and willing to support that effort made to do the thing that they want done for the solution of the problem that faces the Negro. But we are simply marking time if we as a race do not reach that point where we can sufficiently realize that in the putting over of this tremendous program we must have leaders; that we must place responsibility upon and confidence in some, and the majority of us must follow.
If the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be put over; if the Negro has no hope in the redemption of Africa; if the WE SELL THE BEST MADE COLORED DOLLS

Nezgo has no hope in the program as outlined by Marcus Garvey; if the Negro has no hope in the establishing of an autonomy of his own, then there is no hope for the race. I do not say this because I happen to be myself an officer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; I do not say it because I happen to be a part of the organization, but because of my acquaintance with the trend of affairs in the world today as they affect the group to which we belong.
A Challenge-to the Negro's Ability
The activities on the part of the white world all about us is a challenge to the Negro's ability to muster within his group not one man but leaders who are capable of carrying out the great program that "has been brought to us by the architect" Garvey has laid the plans of African redemption so plain that every one of you knows just what Garvey's plan is for the salvation of the race. There is only one thing left, and that is, how are we going to realize it; what are the methods we are going to use to get a place in Africa; what methods are we going to use to educate the natives of Africa to think and feel as we do; what methods are we going to use to influence the great powers that control Africa to give the natives their larger liberty and larger freedom; what methods are we going to use to actually establish a trade intercourse between Africa, the West Indies and America.
The architect has drawn the plains: the blue print has been given to us. It has been given so plains that the carpenter and the contractors can come along behind and build. It took a genius to draw the plan, but after the plans are drawn it does not take an immense amount of ability to follow them out.
I say that the activities on the part of the white world are a challenge to the race—to its ability to initiate those methods and carry forward that program that will actually give the Negro a free and redeemed Africa.
What Garvey Has Given
After all, the whole idea that Marcus Garvey has given the race and that no other Negro had given the race before, can be brought right down to this: That instead of the Negro in the West Indies hoping some day to enjoy every privilege the British Government gives to white British subjects; Instead of the Negro here in America hoping some day to enjoy every right given to white men of America, Garvey brought the idea that the only solution of your problem economically, socially and politically is for you to build identically the same thing that the white man has built for himself and if need be build it a little bigger and a little stronger.
About 400 years ago the white man who today controls and dominates the white world was confined almost entirely to Europe. Beginning 400 years ago, pressed by the problem of over population, pressed by the want of bread, the need for food and clothing, the white man began to reach out into other parts of the world looking for treasure. Columbus trying to get to India by a shorter route simply happened upon America; and immediately upon the discovery of America it opened vast possibilities to the white nations of Europe; and in a short space of time the white man began his quest of gold on this great continent, and then followed the development of the continent and inventions and discoveries which brought about imminence and other things that made for the fast turning of raw

That 80% of our ills are caused by starved, overworked and abused glands, remain now an undisputed certainty.
Those familiar with physiology know that the system is controlled by different glands. These Glands discharge their inner secretion into the blood, thereby keeping the blood pure and rich and its "Chemical Balance" always well. Giand-Ox helps to keep Nature's Blood Balance even.
The nervous glandular system is of greater importance because it is here that most of our troubles originate—as well as it is known to be the power house of action, life, energy and health.
The Glandular System has thousands of nerves and cells. These little cells are like tiny batteries generating fresh life fluids to the parts of our body wasted away by HARD WORK, WORRY, ABUBE and OVERINDULGENCE.
Giant-Ox you see arouses, recharges and stimulates the internal secretions from the glands and nourishes them. It is the best Giand tonic made by Modern Scientific Intelligence.

materials into the finished product.
Those developments called for new markets which tended to send the white man to variegated parts of the world until now, the white man dominated three-fourths of the world.
Placed in the position he finds himself now, what does he seek to do?
He made a great blunder in 1914 to preach democracy and fairplay and self-determination to such an extent that backward races everywhere began to take him at his word and to exert themselves toward that end. The white man now realizes his blunder of 1914, and in his fervent effort to redress or to make up for this mistake, what does he do? Immediately there comes into being the League of Nations; they begin to revive the World Court and the latest move has been the signing of the Locarno pact, which is simply an effort on the part of those who have stolen three-fourths of the world to see to it that what they have is protected and perpetuated. The League of Nations is but the coming "together" of the stronger powers, so to see it that the weaker powers who may attempt to become strong will become so and take back the hands whites have taken by means of the sword and diplomacy.
Grounding Public Sentiment
It is the duty of the Nego and especially the Nego of the Universal Nego Improvement Association who sees and understands to so exert the influence of this organization that public sentiment may be moulded in his favor to a larger extent and that larger concessions will be given him in his homeland, the Lopezano Plot or the World Court of the League of Nations becomes a taxed and established fact in international relationship between the nations.
So the face of white world activity in the face of this fixing of the Negro's place by establishing permanently course of education where those who now contour the world will be always able to come to an understanding, the Negro of the United Negro Improvement Association must realize that he holds within his grasp the greatest environment of power—the easiest approach to the powers that be, and must not allow unsuperpulous individuals to bring within the ranks of the Association edition and discussion, and thus destroy our unity.

Discussion Spells Ruin
Up to the present time the Universal Negro Improvement Association has built up some very powerful assets to the organization, and yet we can lose all in the short space of a month or two if we allow ourselves to be divided; if we allow ourselves to be torn amidder by internal dissensions and misunderstandings. We cannot go very much further in the Association unless there is thought about an understanding within the ranks of the organization. Unless this is done we will fall an easy prey to the enemy; those who oppose the Universal Negro Improvement Association need not say a word as they have not said for quite a while. There is not much mock now in the Negro press against the Universal Negro Improvement Association; the white papers, are saying little; from public platforms they are saying little now against the Association. But the enemy is not asleep by watching you; he is not off the job, he is on the job; he is just as anxious today to see to it that you are destroyed as he was two years ago; therefore it believes the members of the Negro Improvement Association to stand united together and not allow dissensions and misunderstandings to keep into our ranks and the enemy has hoped for our assistance or because things do not go just as we think they ought to go, forget the greater objective and lend our forces and our strength of the disrupting and tearing up of the thing that cost us both money and time and sacrifice to build. If there are among us crooks and thieves we start from tonight naming them and let us get rid of them. If there are among us traitors to the race, we start from tonight naming them and let us get rid of them. If there are among us those who are not interested in the welfare of the Association, let us start from tonight naming them and let us get rid of them. But let us not by simply blinding that something is wrong undermine and destroy the very thing that we say we love and the thing we have paid such a great price to make
Not Unlike Other Organizations
Not Unlike Other Organizations
The Universal Negro Improvement
Association after all is no different from other organizations. No organization has in it every man who is true, who is earnest and who is sincere, but that is no reason why you should, to get even even with those who are untrue, tear up the thing. Institutions like long after men have gone. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not unlike the very United Government itself. The great Government under which we live has in it grafters, has in it corruption, has in it thieves—men in public, office who have not conducted themselves in the most honest, and upright way. Every day you pleak the papers and you find where this Government official has taken a part in or put over this graft or that craft, but that is no reason why the Government must stop functioning; the taxpayers do not stop paying their tax because they read in the paper the other day that Mr. Blank a Government official, linked to his account, some $10,000 of taxpayers' money when he was in a government position. They pay their taxes to keep the Government getting just the same, because they know that the Government will deal with those who do偷 it, and the people are not going to allow one or two betrayals to cause them to destroy the United States Government—the very thing they most need for their protection.
The Organization Belongs to Us
I say to you tonight that the world has its eyes on you at this particular time. Everybody is asking the question, "What are they going to do when Garvey is gone?" The organization is now enforcing its eight-year, even though the enunciation has not been

is successful in its commercial ventures as the promoters had hoped; we have still held our and developed valuable assets, valuable not only to the association, but to the race, and if division comes among us, it means that the association will lose first the spirit of unity encumbered by seven years of labor. For seven years scores of speakers have gone to and fro in different parts of the world; Marcus Garvey has enunciated more from Liberty Hall platform that black men are all one, came from the issue ancestry. His preachings have made a glitre around the world until Negroes everywhere believe they owe a duty to one another. Now I can travel from Michigan to the West Indies and Teen Brown can come from the West Indies to America with a feeling of kinship with all Negroes. The propaganda has had its effect, and Negroes everywhere have begun to look upon one another as brothers.
Africans Looking to Us
Secondly, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is divided and breaks up into factions, we will lose the confidence of Africans in the ability of the Western world Negro to aid him in the freedom and insistence of his country. The African has been inspired in Africa because of the united action of office of former in America; he has been inspired to work and agitate for his own freedom and liberation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has aspired something in South Africa that: South Africa had not seen before, and that is the "African World," and the "African World" is creating such a disturbance in South Africa and abhorring the native to a "continued in past."

LETS PUT IT OVER
THERE is great rejoicing in Europe over the action of the Senate of the United States, by a vote of 76 to 17, to join the World Court. The refusal of the United States to join the League of Nations, after a long and acrimonious consideration of the subject in the Senate and the publications of the country, was a great disappointment to the friends of the league, but the principle holds good now as then, that it is not good, as President Washington advised on retiring to private life, for the United States to become entangled in foreign alliances. The World Court is not the League of Nations but it is one of the working branches of it.
The Permanent Court of International Justice is the full title of the court. It passes upon disputed questions referred to it by the nations concerned, and its findings are supposed to make for peace, and so far that has been the outcome of its work; but no question has as yet arisen which will test to the full the powers of the court. The power of any court abides essentially in its ability to enforce its decisions. If the permanent court should undertake to do that in a crisis which may yet arise, the United States would find itself in a position of getting mixed up in European troubles just as it
voluntarily got mixed up in them in the World War. No nation can isolate itself the way the world has developed. There must be reasonable understanding and cooperation; but it always remains a truth that the more closely the United States adheres to the Monroe Doctrine, confining itself to conditions in the Occident and keeping out of the domestic affairs of Europe, the better it will be for the people of the United States; Europe is decadent, and the war of races among them which has existed from the fall of Rome will continue to be a disturbing element to the peace of the world. It is a matter of tribal and racial differences with those of Europe, and it has been shown that such differences are not easily wiped out by force of arms or lage of time. It remains to be seen if the United States has made a mistake in becoming a member of the World Court.
BACK TO AFRICA AND HOW TO GO BACK
THE enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and their name is legend, have driven from the beginning to make it appear that the back to Africa program means that all Negroes, whatever they are, should go back to Africa, whether they want to go or not, and whether the conditions for going were favorable or unfavorable. When it is desired to discredit a man or an idea means are usually overlooked that will help to accomplish the purpose. And the disposition to discredit the purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the leadership of Marcus Garvey has been one of the most farflung and insistent in the activities of some of the cultured Negro group in the United States, the group which has received its education of service in institutions built and controlled by white persons, who have insisted upon such moral and mental training for service as they deemed good and best for the Negro people. The interests of white people were always considered as basic in all the education of service we have received in the missionary schools of the Southern States since the close of the Civil War. The deliberate purpose may not have been to do this but the working out of the plans effected that consummation. The primary purpose may have been to help the Negro help himself, along the lines of the Jetter Mr. Frederick Dugglass outlined to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe and translated into facts by General Samuel Chapman Armstrong in the development of the industrial educational idea at the Hampton Institute, around which have grown a large number of industrial school branches, of which Tuskegee Institute is the most notable.
In his front page article in The Negro World of last week President-General Marcus Garvey made clearer than it had been what the Back to Africa idea really means. But it will hardly satisfy the prejudices of those who have their own construction of the program to guide and interpretation. A man can believe anything he makes is related to if he has the will to make up his mind. Mr. Garvey
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1926
If a very small rent was caused in this artery, and a slight amount of blood was allowed to escape, the damage to the brain cells may not be so great and while serious paralysis may occur the wholesole "strike" does not take place to cause insult death. Nature always tries to repair damage in the body, so she acts to work and endeavors to stop up or repair the hole in the blood vessel and to pick up or absorb the blood lying loose in the tissue. If she can do this the brain cells may begin to recover their power and the paralysis may gradually disappear, so fast the patient may become partially or apparently wholly capable of using those muscles and organs which were checked in their activity. If the damage was too great, the brain cells never recover and the patient remains powerless to use the parts which are controlled by those particular brain cells.
It is as though injury caused the brain cells to go on a strike and they called upon the muscles over which they had influence to go on a sympathetic strike. If the strike lasts too long the workers forget how to do their jobs. They lose their skill. They never work again; as they must be taught all over how to fulfill their tasks.
135th Street Branch
Attention is again called to the exhibit on "Negro Harlem" at the main library, 476 Fifth avenue.
This exhibit is attracting much attention, and it is hoped that many Harlem citizens will see it and make it their business to suggest and uncover other material which will aid in extending the exhibit to large and more inclusive proportions for future use.
In connection with the exhibit a series of lectures is planned, denling with interesting Negro personalities. The first will be given by Dr. Charles Martin on "Nut Turner" at the 12th Street Library, on the evening of Tuesday, February 2. This will be advertised in the main library, and a large audience of both races is anticipated.
Department of Negro Literature and History
This department has a pamphlet and clipping file which has valuable current material on the Negro in it. These articles have been taken from current newspapers and magazines. If you want the latest articles on Harlem, the Negro in drama, music, and literature, the latest book reviews and articles on the race question, and Africa, come to the third floor of the library between the hours of 2:30, and Monday and Saturday evenings 7-9, to the Department of Negro Literature and History.
This department will be glad to help all clubs that are interested in studying the works or lives of famous Negroes. We have such biographies as these: Simmons, W. J., "Men of Mark"; Brawley, R., "Negro in Literature and Art"; Hammond, L. H., "In the Vanguard of a Race"; Haynes, E. R., "Unsung Horos"; Lovinggood, P., "Famous Modern Negro Musicians"; Majors, M. A., "Noted Negro Women"; Allen, W. W, and Daniel Murray, "Life of Benjamin Banncker"; Douglass, Frederick, "Life and Times"; Beard, J. R., "Life of Tousaight L'Ouvertures"; Pickens, W., "Burating Bonds," and many others.
All your questions on the Negro will be gladly answered.
MILWAUKEE, Wisc., Jan. 28—That the riots of slavery and years spent as a cook with the Confederate army during the Civil War had no tendency to bring about an early demise was revealed here last week, when the birth certificate of Joseph Davin, who just died, showed the deceased to be 180 years old. Davin was born in South Carolina in 1808 and was sold as a slave to a plantation owner. He had saved from children, the eldest of whom in 1809 and the youngest 34. A son here has the birth certificate, which has been discovered. C. P. B.
enough to satisfy the most fastidious, if they should want to be satisfied, but they don't, and there is the rub. We might as well expect all of the Jews scattered in the nations of the earth to go back to Palestine, or to throw away or squander the opportunities they have in the places where they scattered, as to expect the Negro people to do it. It is the first business of the Negro to take the fullest advantage of the social, civil and economic opportunities he finds in the places where he is, as the Jews have done and are doing, as the best preparation for going back to Africa, or assisting those who want to go, or are there, to get the most out of living. That is plain enough. The best way to get back to Africa, or to help those who are there, or want to go there, and to build for themselves what they desire, is to make the most of the opportunities to get useful knowledge and money values in the places where they now are. The Jews do that and there is no other way of getting what you want.
We can't help others, however much we may desire to do so, unless we are able to help ourselves; and we cannot help ourselves unless we make the most and not the least of the opportunities we have wherever we are. Organization and financial competency and willingness to help—these are what are needed to give the Negro the power to do what he wants to do—to get back to Africa, or to help those who want to go back, or who are there, to build on their own foundation in the motherland a country and a flag of their own. Fight for what is yours where you are and you will be in the best possible position to serve yourself and Africa.
EUROPEAN BATTLE ROYAL TO DOMINATE ISLAM
once over the Islamic people. Since Turkey ceased to be the head of Islam, Islam has had its recognized head and the European powers interested have had to deal with Islam units severally, and with indifferent success, as with France in dealing with Morocco and the Syrians. The readers of The Negro World are interested in this question of domination of the Islamic people because so many of the darker gaces belong to the Moslem religious order and shape their civil and moral life by the teachings of the Prophet Mohamet. In discussing this question of domination of Islam, writing in the New York World, from Geneva, Switzerland, Mr. Albin E. Johnson says:
"Never in history have such portentous movements taken place in North Africa, Arabia and across the Middle East as in the last year. It is true that changes have been unimportant, but the symptoms of unrest that have appeared—in the Riff, in Egypt, the Soudan, Palestine, Syria, Arabia, Mesopotamia and Turkestan, to say nothing of the recently suppressed disorders in Italian Somaliland—if once permitted to develop into concerted uprisings would find the entire military forces of the three European powers unable to cope with them.
It is said that out of every evil some good must come. The point in the battle royal of European powers to control the Islamic world shows that the Islamic people have become restless and determined to have some voice in the settlement of their own questions. Italy, Spain and France have been stayed in their efforts to dominate Islam and we believe Great Britain will ultimately be stayed.
THE LYNCH LAW DISGRACE
THE United States is the only country in which mob and lynch law violence is prevalent and tolerated by public opinion. It goes along with the accepted theory that the United States has a greater annual murder record than any other country. They are distinctions not to be proud of; and decent Americans are not proud of them, and there are some signs that they are going to put an end to the disgrace, not all at once; but by slow and effective corrective action. Talking on this subject, The Nation, one of the most influential periodicals in the country, and one which always, like the New York World, speaks out bravely for justice and fair play without regard to race or color, has the following to say:
"The no-lynchings-in-1926 record did not last very long. Before January was a fortnight old, Florida had broken the ice and dispatched a Negro 'suspected of having made an attack on a white woman.' Meanwhile in Mississippi Sheriff Glass, the officer who was 'unable' to protect his Negro prisoner—a man just acquitted of the murder of a white plantation manager—from a mob has been fined $500, the maximum penalty that the law permitted short of being removed from office; and he has been threatened by Judge W. A. Alcorn with prompt removal in case he should find himself "overcome" by a mob in the future. Mississippi last year led the South—which is to say the world—in the number of these barbaric killings by mobs; but in Mississippi, too, the seeds of justice to the Negro are sprouting and bearing fruit. Decent citizens in the State are aroused to protest and to action; reform is coming from within, where it is always most effective and salutary. There is no doubt that Louisiana, Texas, Florida are watching their neighbor; it is only a question of time before they, too, must bestir themselves. The Negro is no longer a slave; he is becoming less and less a peon. With the advance of education and economic independence among members of the black race must go an advance in political independence and solidarity. Mississippi does well to begin the reform of its treatment of the Negro before that oppressed and harassed race finds itself in a position to demand better treatment in a voice that cannot be denied. Perhaps, indeed, it is the first faint notes of such a voice that have set the ball to rolling."
Lynch law grew out of the determination, after the Civil War, and since continued, to "keep the Negro in his place." In the carrying out of the principle, a reckless and dangerous disregard for law and legal process has spread all over the land, so that an end of lynch law has become necessary to save the nation from the awful demoralization of it.
Drowning the Brain in Blood
Apoplexy might be called that—the
drowning of the brain in one's own
blood.
Those who read last week's article understand what I mean by that.
Perhaps there are those who are wondering what happens when some people die immediately with a "stroke" while others linger for sometime with apoptosis, and a few "recover."
If the tingling in the brain bursts wide apart and lets a considerable quantity of blood escape into the brain tissue before a clot can form in the hole of the blood vessel then a great number of brain cells which are extremely sensitive are going to be damaged. If too many are too thoroughly soaked in blood they are going to stop work and a wholesale "strike" of these important brain cells means instant death. Brain cells which control certain parts of the body and important organs cannot cease, work for a minute without "stopping the whole works."
Even as wine becomes mellowed with age, as should the shortcomings of the Negro press approach nearer and nearer the vanishing point, as time flies But, alas, this seems too much to hope for. For here we have the subtle spectacle of the Negro press, in its infancy, frantically employing methods which cannot but retard its growth and make the thinking shudder at the prospect.
The Pittsburgh American, once under Hardy L. Keith, one of the most promising of Negro journals, has just gone to the wall. Every sane race man or woman must register sincere sorrow at its passing, for a potentially strong voice in the championship of the Negro's cause has been silenced, temporarily, we hope. But we cannot help reflecting that if the Pittsburgh American had not erred, like so many of its contemporaries, in hugging a chimers, it would have achieved a greater measure of success, even though its reputation would not have been built on flamboyant headlines, blazoning forth the race's folicles, as in the case of the 'Chicago Defender.
Just at this time, and for twelve months now, we have been witnessing the heart-rending attempt of certain Negro newspapers to ride to "fame" and increased circulation on a hobby horse. Now, we all know how far hobby horses travel. They rock back and forth, but they as soon go an inch or two backward as forward. That hobby horse is doubtful publicity concerning Marcus Garvey, a Negro whom history will assuredly adjudge the greatest Negro of our time, Marcus Garvey, if you must have it repeated, committed two damnable errors: The slave ship in the bowels of which his ancestors rode called at Jamaica in the British West Indies and there unlumbered some of its human freight before proceeding to Jamestown, Virginia; and then he had the great misfortune to come to this country, where are domiciled the greatest number of his compatriots outside of Africa and to succeed in securing the largest following of Negroes, all beht on one purpose, all devoted to one principle, the world has ever seen.
Garvey, African, who, perhaps, alone of all the Negroes in the Western world, may speak to an African undergraduate of London, or Oxford, or Edinburgh universities unaccentrated, has been vilified and traduced by men who unwares may be his brother or cousin, merely because he had the courage and the urge and the genius to see the evil that impends for his race, to point the danger and harms the corrective forces. He has been shamefully abused by the Negro press of America, or, at least, some inconsiderable section of it, because he had the honesty to lay bare the parasitic designs of the erstwhile leaders, the quondam "great," and to place the destiny of a race before the material considerations of a day.
The Negro press of America, as the historian and the future generation will attest, has a vile blot on its oceaneen, and that blot is its insignate treatment of Marcus Garvey, Negro. The Negro press does not err, it cannot err, when it criticizes Garvey, public man. But the Negro press assuredly errs when it wages a personal campaign against a Negro who has brought the light of reason and inspiration within the orbit of millions of black men; it errs when it gives comfort to the enemy.
Bent prominent Negroes, "intellectuals" every one of them, sent a petition to the Attorney General of the United States asking him to place Garvey behind prison walls. Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bols of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (Heaven forfend!) was one of them; George Harris of New York, editor of the New York News, a Harlem publications, hard pressed to make receipts balance expenditure, was another. Du Bols, who would be a world figure, acted according to plan. He made a trip to Africa, confined his addresses to "statesmen" in Liberia, for fear he would be murdered by the masses, returned to America, waxed poetic about Africa and wroth about Garvey. Let him be. But George Harris, what does he do?
Unwanted as a politician, he sticks to his last. He spends more time improving the poor circulation of his newspaper. He looks around for fodder apla fanta it. He dreams a dream. He sees men like trees walking, and all carry Garvey banners. Waking, an idea dawns. What if I made all these thousands buy my newspaper, willy-nilly! So he goes to work. Striving hard to forget the part he had played in Garvey's persecution, he praises Garvey in an editorial—after Garvey had been despatched to Atlanta. Cunningly, brazenly, he tries to make his reading public believe that he has reformed, that he has an eye to the general good, that he belongs to that great army of "intellectual" Negroes in America who do not wear a Red, Black and Green button merely because he must—er, save the feelings of some of his friends.
One of the witnesses against Garvey at his trial, one Edgar Gray, is suborned to write Garvey's memoirs. The result—the most shameful series of slanderous articles that have appeared, perhaps, in any newspaper in America. The Negro World tells the public of Gray's pre-historian record and the articles cease. But Harris rewards him by making him Associate Editor of the New York News. Coincident with this, the Editor of the Cat's Meow, a inscivious Harlem sheet, which was forced to suspend publication when a Civic Welfare Organization brought about the arrest of the editor, is made Business Manager of the News.
Now the stage is set for the great push. Harris, Gray and Stucker, an irreasurable trio, multi-scarred veterans of many wars, man the guns. The great moment arrives. There are murmurings that Garvey is to be pardoned. The News at last has a streamer worthy of notice. It sets Harlem by the ear with the simple announcement: "Marcus Garvey Iardon." The circulation manager beams. There is a run on news stands for The News.
But George Harris remains the same George Harris who signed the "Uncle Tom" petition to the Attorney General. Like so many others, pretending to throw his arms around Garvey he secretly stabs him. He secures a photograph of the great Leader and prints it on the front page. Then he prints another article, which, while calculated to make the Harlem reading public buy, in reality does Garvey more harm than good. More. He publishes a nine-inch advertisement which asks, "Should Garvey Be Pardoned?" and invites the reading public to say "yes" or "no." When 10,000 answers have been received, he avail them will be forwarded to the "Senate Judiciary Committee now considering the case of Marcus Garvey."
It certainly seems to me that this dark man canver, if it comes to fruition, will have the effect of injuring the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the eyes of the legislative Committee. In the first place, how in the name of high Honor did the New York News matter the offentory to announce it was dealing in exorcising the sentiment of the twelve millions of Negro voters of the United States Can a newspaper with a circulation of a few hundred reach millions? How long since has the New York News practically unknown outside of Baltimore presumed to reflect the opinion of the great body of citizens of this country.

El presidente de la Jeunesse, latiotrique, una de lasorganizaciones politico/patrioticas más poderosa que se estan formando en Francia, ha manifestado que el país esta en visperas de una revolución económica y solamente una decision radical podra salvarlo.
División de la gran familia humana—Lo que nuestro retorno al Africa significa—Incertidupbre que prevalece en el presente—Interpretación errónea de la intención de este movimiento—Programa de adelanto de los otros pueblos—Demostremos al mundo nuestra potencialidad
Dicha organización, según el manifestante, cuenta cuena sesenta mil adheridos de los cuales diez y seis mil residen en París, y dentro de poco tiempo, con el aumento rápido de miembros que adquiere, pide imponer su voluntad, no creyere para cielo el que sea necesario en pleer la fuerza. Con sus ideas prolongistas extendidas por todo el país, intensión establecer una nueva forma de gobierno, que laga frente con éxito a los problemas financieros en la actualidad.
Luego de haber peregrinado de cientos de años al traves de los desiertos y praderas del prejuicio humano, hemos llegado ahora al cruce en el camino del destino racial. Todas y cada una de las razas parecen viajar en su propia dirección. La gran familia humana se ha dividido y cada unidad siente que hay un peculiar que alcanzar; hay un objetivo por conseguir; tiene pues cada rama del copioso árbol geneológico de la humanidad, una desviación determinada y en su avance, busca el rumbo mas acomodático a su medio, a su individualidad y peculiaridades nuevas que ha creado en su desarrollo, después de haberse separado del tronco común, para constituirse en un todo determinado, con sus miras, preocupaciones, con su propia psicología, sus características únicas, como detalles significativos de su yo de raza. De aquí que oiganos el grito de Japon para los japoneses, China para los chinos, India para los indus, Europa para los europicos, America para los americanos. Y ahora los cuatrocientos millones de negros del universo estan clamando con tonos ostentarios, Africa para los africanos.
El es miembro de la camara de diputados a sus務iones concurrir a meundo a sus務iones" dado el disgusto, que le ocasiona el parlamentario y la politica del bloque de la izquierda, sobre el que hace recuer la responsabilidad de la situación. Invierte la mayor parte de su tiempo activando la labor de su organo zacion, en conferencias con sus directores quienes esperan el advenimiento de una nueva economica.
No queremos que Francia se victime del soviet, dee su programa, ni que perecea de consumión por ninguna propaganda mala. Ansiamos que ella vía libre y prospera con un regimen de orden, el cual estamos disputos a instituir por cualquier medio necesario. Si el adversario se niega a hacer uso de la inica salvación posible, emplearemos metodos más eficaces y procesos más energicos. Conservaremos nuestra posición con una voluntad inquebranta.
No solamente la humanidad se ha dividido, sino que ha llegado a ser más sospechosa. Ningún grupo crecerá las intenciones del otro, y he aquí que ese egoista propósito nos ha rodeado de tal manera, estamos inoculados con tal amargas dosis prejuiciales, que es por demás aparente que la verdad, el amor, la honradez, la caridad, han alzado el vuelo hacia otro mundo. Por la ausencia de estas virtudes es que el hombre no esta dispuesto a pasar su destino a su hermano, y por lo tanto olvidase del otro prójimo y busca, sin fijarse en nada ni en nadie, el suyo propio. Este momento de incertidumbre es mas que oportuno para que el negro, en medio de esta atmósfera agresiva y acalorada preparación por parte de las otras razas, deba darse cuenta del destino suyo, y haciendo uso de sus mejores abilities en su línea, modo y manera, edifique su propia independencia, poder por el cual pueda garantizarse una vida segura y una existencia libre, sin tener que estar obligado al tutelaje de los que tan inhumanamente lo han tratado.
La Jeunesse Patriotique aspira a un cabildo completo del régimen de gilderio, suprir el parlamento, la reorganización de todos los departamentos gubernamentales, cámara de comercio, sindicatos, assoziaciones y la elección de un mandatario por medio de consejes municipales. Segun ella, todos los que viven en el país deben interesarse porque el país viva.
Supremacia de este país
Leon Trozky, examiniro ruso, declaró que los miembros del club de hombros de negocios de Moscuo, que la Europa entera esta en las garras financiarias de este país, y la nación que provoca en aquel continente el desarrollo industrial, sin tomar en consideración la supremacía de los Estados Unidos, comete un grave error.
Cuando indicamos que debemos volver al Africa, ello no significa que todos los negros debamos abandonar la America, para ir alla a constituir un gobierno propio. No tuvo que despoblarse la Europa para que todos los blancos de la antigua Eufrasia, vinieran a America a poner los cimientos fundamentales de esta gran república. Por lo tanto, todos aquellos que hablan y escriben tan profusa y disparatadamente acerca del gran programa de Africa para los africanos, lo hacen sin tener para ello ninguna noción de la idea expuesta, ni mucho menos se han documentado conveniente en sus argumentaciones, pues los ignorantes no han dado a la historia la atención debida para discutir tan importante tesis.
Dio ademas que al concederse a Alemania un empireteiro de cuatrocientos millones, los Estados Unidos han atado en un nudo toda la industria alemana. Que al adelantar a la higlaterra creditos por la suma de seiscientos millones, han logrado el resultado de que la estabilidad de la monda británica, depende del cambio en este mercado. Anadio que todas las tentativas de la burguesia europea para establisher los Estados Unidos de Europa, estan condenadas al peor frustazo.
Hemos de manifestar una vez más a nuestro elemento, que la Asociación Universal pará el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no enseña el que pasemos de por alto las oportunidades que puedan sermos beneficiosas; por el contrario, aconseja aprovechemos todas aquellas que estén a nuestro alcance, teniendo presente que el exito, el honor, la dignidad racial, ese poder educacional, industrial y político que necesitamos obtener, se basa en la protección que demos a una nación fundada y gobernada por nosotros; y esa nación no puede radicar en ninguna otra parte del mundo, sino en nuestra querida tierra africana, lar bendito que neciera el bejuco flexible que sirviera de cuna a nuestros abuelos, y en donde millones de sus nietos, sufren hoy, en esa época de luz, la mas abyecta de las humillactones por las razas que se titulan de civilizadoras y humanitarias.
Previsión del futuro
El profesor Low, conocido universalmente como uno de los mejores hombres de ciencias, ha predicho recientemente que de hoy a incenenta años la vida del hogar habra desaparecido y todo el mundo vivira en hoteles y restaurantes.
El profesor predice también que en el año 1926 los vapores trasarlanticos serán substituidos por gigantescos hidroplanes que surcan el oceano a gran velocidad y los pasajeros en aeroplanos que se dirijan a otros continentes se comunican con sus amistades por medio de la telegrafia sin hilos.
Muohos parecen creer, que el programa de esta organización es demasiado grande, muy eleborado, demasiado complejo. Pero, qué diremos del programa de las otra rimas y naciones? ¿Son elaborados? ¿Son complejos? ¿Qué diremos del programa de Irlanda? ¿Qué diremos del programa de Egipto? Como estudiaremos el programa de los indus? ¿Son, pues, estos programas comandados y ofrecen en su ejecución complejidades múltiples? ¿Qué buscan ellos a la postre? Buscan, pues, libertad; ¿Qué independencia para sus pueblos respectivos; ¿Que amper la cojunta que los ata al yugo opresor a que se mantenga desde tiempo inmemorables. De acuerdo
Sobre los vestidos el profesor dice que el algodon, la lana y la seda seran substituidos por materiales hechos de fibras vegetales nuy. haratos y duraderos. El ropero de las nujeres no sera tan grande como en la actualidad, pues habiendose civilizado ya la mujer para aquel entonces, no sera esclav. de la moda. También se predice una era de fabricas constituidas bajo tierra, evitando así el gran número de chimeneas que en la actualidad infestan la humo gara con el humo que desprende.

El A B C de Madrid publica un artículo firmanado por el presidente de la Association de la Prensa, señor Francisco Rodríguez, en el que se ocupa de los trabajos que realizan los filipinos en Espana y otros países con el objeto de crear un ambiente favorable para que los Estados Unidos les concedan la independencia, diciendo:
Los viajes de los señores Osmena, Quezon, Kalaw y Rojas a Madrid ayudaron mucho a la comprension por parte de España de los derechos que asistent a los filipinos crecandoles un ambiente muy favorable.
Los valores elementos filipinos que con tanto ardor como entusiasmo tratajan por la liberación de su país interpretando de un modo general el anelbo de sus compañeros, reclaiman el concurso de los espesas noles para esa empresa de carácter universal que cuenta sin duda con el beneficio de todos los honríos cultos del mundo entero.
Todos estan mornalácte obligados a prestar la ayuda que el pueblo filipino pide para conseigir que el progreso y democrata pueblo de Norte América, dugo prueba manifesta de su amor a la libertad, cumpla cori humantanía y feal promesa de otorgar a las Islas Filipinas la independencia anhelada.
En España se hace propaganda en favor de las Islas Filipinas correspondiendo justamente a la que ese noble pueblo realiza en pro de España, pues les une un vinculo espiritual imposible de ser que cuentraunto por las malas pasiones, el vinculo del idioma que es un vinilo poderoso que liga a las Islas Filipinas lo mismo que a los habilientes de las diversas republicas de América.
En la campaña que sostienen los filipinos para conseguir sus ansias los españoles dan prueba de su fe y creen que las circunstancias reclaman su asistencia en favor de sus herfianos del Oriente estando sujetos que 'as deben hacerlo por razones de indole-sentimental, esperando que significante así su ardiente voluntad consegueran realizar una feecunda y admirable.
El español les intercesa
W. E. Hull, representante al congreso, ha declarado en la camara que debia cultivarse con urgencia la anistad: con los países sudamericanos, agregando que el congreso de dichas muestrase liberal de todos podos con dichas paises, y que el idioma español interesaba más al pueblo norteamericano que cualquier otro idioma. Urgio a que se cearan ceditras de español en las acuelas, del mismo modo que se ensenaba el idioma ingles en los centros educativos sudamericanos.
Para clejir gobernador
Ha sido presentada en el senado en Washington una unicamina a la ley orgánica de la isla, de Puerto Rico, en el sentido de que dentro de seis años puede el pueblo porturriqueno elejir su propio gobernador. Un proyecto identico fue presentado en la camara por el senor Cardóva Davíla, conisión de aquel-pais.

WEEKLY SERMON
By Q. EMONEI CARTER
Text—Romans 6:4, "Walk in nowness of life."
Subject—"Enlarged Visions."
The Christ love and desire lift us above the hum drum of life to a plane where our visions are unobscured and our minds free to unseen good in every one. This is very necessary if our visions are to be enlarged and alluring.
Hault's admonition to the Romans to walk in needness of life was decided upon their knowledge of the Christ life and their willingness to subscribe to its terms of living.
There cannot be a new walking or living unless there is an awakening and regeneration. The old way of thinking and doing must give place to new reflection and determined action for right and righteousness. To do this our consciousness must be renewed in the Christ light. This renewed consciousness will eradicate all things unharmed and not in sleeping with a life of real usefulness. Life is diversified. Each personality is leaving its impress upon it, but it is only made better and useful in preparation to the Christ desire and precept.
Our lives need a wider outlook. Our daily horizons must be enlarged; our concrete values must be pooled and our concerted efforts must lift a race that plane. Where good men will commend us and God revere us for our many efforts in Christ expression.
A new walk will lead us away from the marrows of life into the broad planes of thrift, cheerfulness and love. The new walk will call us from the vale of indulgence, poverty and indulgence to the mountain peak of action, wealth and decision. It will give us an everyday consciousness of doing our best at all times.
An enlightened vision will bring to us the university and impersonal element of the Christ love.
Truly it is no respecter of persons. It recognizes good in every person. It knows that some good is in all of us; and that tolerance is a form of love, though expressing in a way, not very positive.
We need big lives to embrace our opportunities. We need new walks to disclose new beauties. We need happiness and cheer to assist us in unfolding the best in us; and this can only be had as we embrace the Christ love and example.
New life carries with it the idea of death. All nature attests this fact—that life transmutes through the change or transition of death. The seed falls into the ground or is planted, dies and lives again. The day dakes into darkness, lingers and comes forth again—a new morn. Man lives, "shuffles off the mortal oil" and lives again. The beauty of this change is seen in the improved object that transmutes. It pays, therefore, to enter upon a new walk in life. It pays because the vision becomes broader. The desire becomes more like tjod, who fathers each desire or soul urge, and we lift ourselves to that plane where God is pleased with our endeavors to maimfess the newness of life.
The spirit of truth shall guide us in the new life, and we shall know right from wrong, because our wisdom is the understanding of the Almighty. We will not fail, because in this new consciousness, there is a definite knowledge of God-given power, which shall adjust our power, and make us know that God is real to all those who are willing to seek Him, through the Christ.
Change Calendar
Se That 13 Months
Shall Make a Year
The New York Board of Jewish Ministers, consisting of representatives from the orthodox conservative and u-El. 43d street and Fifth avenue, New York City and vicinity, at a recent meeting in the vestry of Temple Emanuel, 43d street and Fifth avenue, New York, approved a resolution indorsing the proposal of the League of Nations Committee on Calendar Reform to revise the calendar so as to make a year of thirteen months, each month consisting of twenty-eight days, provided the fixity of the Jewish Sabbath would not be disturbed.
To prevent interference with the Sabbath, a scheme which would allow the 365th day of each year to accumulate over five and six years alternately, forming an additional week during every such period, as a leap year week, so that the Sabbath would remain permanently fixed, was debated at the meeting.
Kabbal Moses Hyamson, chairman of the committee investigating the proposed calendar, refused to comment on it, explaining he intended to write an article on it himself.
Kabbal Israel Goldstein, president of the committee, however, stated he had been affiliated with the League of Nations Committee on Calendar Reform and admitted to a new calendar which would be introduced with the Jewish Rabbinate he intended would make the bureaucracy unnecessary.
A nation strong as others are
We hope to build some day.
Then some can ever dare to mar
Our battles on any way
WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS?
(From The New Sign)
When he is up against it strong
When you meet a man that's blue
There is one thing you should do—
Shap him on the back and say;
"Gitter, lick another day";
Cheer him up and make him smile—
keep "knocking" all the while
Good words come amazing cheap;
Use them—for they help a heap.
When you see a man in woe
Shap his back and say "Hello";
If he's down upon his luck.
Cheer him up and give him laugh,
Laugh and grab him by the hand
And then boost to beat the hand;
Good words won't cost you a dime.
And they'll help him every time.
When you see a man knocked out,
Stop and ask him what it's about;
Help him to his feet and then
Uprise the man to try again;
Fill his heart with "thicky hope"—
Equal words of cheer and hope.
Good words help a man along.
ROLAND HAYES SINGS TO A VAST THRONG
Carnegie Hall - Audience Pays
Tribute to American Negro
Tenor's High Artistry
From the New York Times
Roland Hayes sang his third and last recital in Carnegie Hall last Wednesday night to one of the greatest audiences in any New York concert hall this season, where for every one of his own race present there were a half dozen of the more accustomed music patrons, eager to see and hear the now world-famous American Negro tenor. The last of the crowd were filling across the proscenium steps to seats on the stage, when the white house burst into applause on the appearance of the singer, modestly bowing, and his accompanist, William Tawkesbury. In the nine silence that followed there was a tribute to combined natural powers and high artistic cultivation, a music but eloquent son of public recognition such as few artists command.
Beethoven's "Ich liebe dich" began the recital with a simplicity of style beholding the little masterpiece of melody, and with a diction that had passed musier in Vienna and Berlin. A group from Brains contained, by request, the "Botschaft" and "Waldesemkeinheit," J. W. Frank's "Nur nur still" was among the German pieces, and Henry Cowell's "Fairy Fountain" among those in English that followed, with various others by Roger Quilter, Slonimsky and Santolilloq. Negro, "spirituals" arranged by J. Rossonpond Johnson were the awaited elfmus and conclusion. The four last Wednesday, in a list much reprinted, were "I'm Troubled in Mind," "Hallebujah," "What Yo W食 to Do When de lamp Burns Down," and "O, Gambler, Git Up off a Yer Knees." There were insistent demands for encores. One farewell appearance before another European tour was announced for Feb. 7 with the New York Symphony.
Young Dane Is Prodigy
At Astronomy
COPENHAGEN, January 25—Scientists in Denmark are amused at the attainment of 16-year-old Bengt Stroemengreen, son of Prof. Ellis Stroemgreen, director of Copenhagen's astronomical observatory. This budding astronomer has constructed an electrical apparatus which automatically registers the movements of the stars, thusaving astronomers long and patient watching through the telescope. By the invention the human eye is replaced by a photo-electric cell connected with a telegraphic receiver which measures the time of transit of the stars over the meridian. Young Stroemengreen, who only, recently left school, is now studying mathematics and astronomy at Copenhagen University. For the last two years his instructors have found the photovoltaic capable to teach the two systems including more.
His father, however, has insisted on his captainship his apples for the sale of the championship of boys of his own age and to prevent the way rapid development of the quite safety boots gloves. When only 14 years of age began, the intermediate professional would be selling a high 16-inch profile profile as an intermediate position.
Sir Oliver Lodge, the famous British scientist and spiritualist, thinks the end of the world will come some day, but the time is still several million years ahead, says the Pathinder. "It would seem," he says, "as though the universe as a going concern must have a beginning and an end." The beginning of the world was the formulation of the idea 2000, 0,000,000 years ago, and this date is no more guess.
this will imply the greater appearance of matter and the existence once there of an either filled with perpetual remnants of radiation traveling out toward infinity with the speed of light at a date comparably remote. The sun is losing its substance and radiation at the rate of 3,000,000 tons a second. Of course that cannot go on forever, because it affects the prospects of habilitability of the earth and the human race.
But the sun is so enormous, says Sir Oliver, that it will take 150,000,000 years to expend 10 percent of its energy and substituting "It can be seen, therefore, that it can keep on losing this percentage without appreciable change. I doubt whether the idea of termination is in any form tenable, and suggested as a theory that the dust of the universe driven to the confines of space lay the pressure of light, receiving the waste radiation, and being ionized by it, will bring chemical activity back into full blast." "Thus, continues the scientist, "would begin once more the clash of atoms, the formation of nebulae, the birth of stars and ultimately of planets. If would thus seem that the various stages of cosmic evolution were all concurrent and coexistent, and have always been so, I would urge that creation is a continual process. We are faced not with success, but with an eternal. My thesis is that there is an essential opposition between creation and evolution. One is the method of the other. Spiritual things advance continually through higher and higher things toward perfection. Thus, consider, is the real meaning of evolution. This is the way the physical universe exists."
Ways in Which Mother Nature Protects Wild Animals in Winter
Nature has many interesting ways of providing for the survival of its children during the winter, and in Britain we can find illustrations of all the different methods, says the London Mail.
Some creatures, such as the fox and the rabbit, the cat and the hare, carry on as usual, for even in the worst of weather they find food. Others, such as the bat, the dominance, and the hedgehog, fall into, a kind of torpor at the approach of cold weather and usually remain in that condition until the spring.
Hibernation, as it is called, is not sleep. It is a state of suspended animation, a kind of trance. The bodily temperature of the animal falls to that of its refuge and the creature hardly seems to breathe. You can scal a hibernating sternouse in a glass jar, yet it still survives. A torped marmot has been immersed for four hours on end in poisonous gas, yet eventually awoke the worse. A hibernating hedgehog has been placed for twenty minutes under water without harming it.
Yet the life processes do continue for the animal, which is fat as butter when it retires to its winter quarters him as a, a rail when it awakes in... the more severe the winter too deeper the trance in which the hibernating creature exists.
Hibernation is still a good deal of a mystery. All hibernators do not re-relie or rouse at the same time, and members of the same species vary greatly in their habits of winter sleep. in the cooler parts of North America, the skunk sleeps all winter, but further south does not hibernate at all. Other creatures, prepare for winter by growing, thicker coats. Sheep, moor ponies, and cattle are thus protected against the rigors of frost. Others again, but only those that live in snowy countries; change color for winter. The change of coat protects these creatures in that it renders them less visible to natural enemies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23—The reason Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, sent back the five white companies and took a Negro with him as the last leg of his trip to the North Pole, was told by Commissioner Donald McNittian, end of Peary's compass, in a radio address hard-work broadcast, by station WJAK. "The rest of our work tendered was completed with the Negro, North Pole, of New York, and Community Memorial," Peary is presumably also the last person to visit the world today. His personal work includes Missions Mission in Africa, perhaps but not always Mission in Africa, their last day of it. The Missionary Society will be his last mission.
AWAY WITH LIP. SERVICE
IN this age of materialism and selfishness it is exceedingly difficult to find people who are faithful to anybody or anything for any length of time. Some of us start out with the best of intentions to "stick to the end," but fail when the test is applied. Others never intend to bear any hardships and often those are the ones who make the most noise but mean nothing.
IN this age of materialism and cult to find people who are for any length of time, so intentions to stick to the end. Others never intend to bear any ones who make the most noise to discover falsity in one's freeness associate, spells ruin but the task that calls for great Christian welfare of thousands or millions one who is proven false.

Again we warn our is getting too large for some of since our leader's imprisonment organized to a man to put over a manner in which he carried one so spineless and cowardly as to aim is—imprison Garvey—keep his colleagues, who will shrink forward.

The lip servers! Let us have eleven men in the program of Africa for the African man in for good measure. Then President he can lay his hands on and make Garvey's release papers, and Atlanta priest Father Garvey will pass out to them for holding the fort during his absences, if you want Marcus Garvey free.
IN YOUR ARTICLES FOR THIS
He was assigned to Negro women for us an opportunity to express our views. It is unfortunate that the proper applause by the readers of the gentle sex, by poems and news, tamoring for equality of sex, and talking and independence, when the press whichunity to voice our wishes and desires is a higher appreciation of us when the achievements, and more help would be and old ladies, bobbed and unbobbed, hope you will not hesitate to send one side of the paper, in a legible hand, your manuscript typed.
Not confined to the members of the U. N. association alone. But may be used to get their views before the public, use to remind our readers about this our appeal will be readily answered.
To discover falsity in one's friend is heart-reading; in one's business associate, spells ruin but to unmask the traitor to a cause is a task that calls for great Christian charity to deal with him, as the welfare of thousands or millions may depend on the fidelity of the one who is proven false.
In a large organization of oppressed people we suffer greatly from men who enter our ranks for selfish ends, for treacherous purposes, and still others with no purpose at all; just for the sake of being in it. The last named class often gives more trouble than imagined because they are stumbling blocks in the way of others, and are sometimes mistaken for sincere by the sweet nothingness that they say and the grandilouquent manner in which they say it. They are heavy on the lip service and render no real service at all.
These are the type of barnacles that have gravitated into offices in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and who have sought to impede its progress by sticking like leaches, and it is hard to get them out, as some of our members are not keen enough to analyze their frothy mouthings.
Our organization has reached a stage where a big speech cannot advance the cause if there is no real thought and action behind it. A great talker is not the type of man to place at the head of affairs, unless he has the attributes of a deep thinker and knows the art of diplomacy. Again we warn our membership that the U. N. L. A. is getting too large for some of us, and this is more so evidenced since our leader's imprisonment. When the association should be organized to a man to put over its program in the same aggressive manner in which he carried on its affairs, we find some Negroes so spineless and cowardly as to give comfort to the enemy, whose aim is—imprison Garvey—keep him in prison—and you can handle his colleagues, who will shrink with fear and hesitate to move forward.
But the Negro women of the U. N. I. A. serve notice on you, who are in charge of locals, diplomatic posts or headquarters in Africa or America, that if you don't get a move on, to use the common parlance, you will have to go. The longer you remain making set speeches and repeating, eloquent meaningless phrases the longer you keep Marcus Garvey in prison and stultify the progress of the organization. You are but the agents of the oppressor and consciously or unconsciously doing his bidding.
Away with the lip servers! Let us have eleven million Garveys to push forward the program of Africa for the Africans, and who can imprison that many? Not even the League of Danaction with America thrown in for good measure. Then President Coolidge will get the first pen he can lay his hands on and mark "Pardoned" on Marcus Garvey's release papers, and Atlanta prison gates will swing open and Father Garvey will pass out to thank his eleven million children for holding the fort during his absence.
Go to it, members, if you want Marcus Garvey free.

THIS page was assigned to Negro women for the purpose of giving us an opportunity to express our views on all questions. It is unfortunate that the proper appreciation has not been shown by the readers of the gentle sex, by way of contributions of articles, poems and news.
It is no use clamoring for equality of sex, and talking about freedom of action and independence, when the press which offers such excellent opportunity to voice our wishes and desires is ignored.
Men will have a higher appreciation of us when they read of our ambitions and achievements, and more help would be given us.
Young ladies and old ladies, bobbed and unbobbed, we welcome your views, and hope you will not hesitate to send in your copy. Write in ink on one side of the paper, in a legible handwriting, if you cannot have your manuscript typed.
A Reason Why Wives Leave Home
Julius R. Duerer filed suit for divorce recently in the Newark Chancery Court. He charged desertion.
Mrs. Freola Duerer, the wife, a middle-aged woman, filed an answer to her husband's charge. This is the reason she deserted him, she said:
"Compelled to get up at 5 a.m. cook breakfast. Housework to 5 a.m. then work downtown to 5 p.m. cook supper and do housework until 8 p.m. Then out to work in a candy store until midnight. Total, 19 hours." Mrs. Duerer alleged that when she finished her day's work her feet were so

So many people who are hate and hearty shake a doubtful head at any suggestion for pleasures, and say, "can't," that we welcome any news of persons who are physically hampered and yet show a willingness to work and study. The following is a story that will make some they folks feel small indeed and we hope inspire them to get busy and in line with those who say we will, we must do this or that: — "Glenna Sauer, now a young woman of thirty-one, lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George L. Sauer, in Port Wayne, Indiana. Despite every effort to correct her affection, including long and tedious treatments in hospitals and sanitariums, she is still unable to walk unless some one is beside her acting as a support. Yet today she is a very active and highly successful business woman, working twelve to fourteen hours daily at two quite diverse occupations and earning a regular income considerably beyond that of the average businessman of her own age. She spends half a spare time developing certain talents in art and music; she delves a car wherever she pleases, and, most important of all, she always has a cheerful word for everyone and never complains about a thing."
"Unable to walk, she can drive an automobile as expertly as anyone. At first mention, this seems quite extraordinary, but the explanation is this: The disease affected her knees, leaving them unstable and altogether too weak to support her weight in walking. As a matter of fact, she can hardly lift her knees at all, being able only to shuffle along when she has some one to lean on for support. Nevertheless, she has sufficient strength in her feet to operate the clutch and brake pedals once she is properly started in the car. And that is how she effected her emancipation from the life of a stay in. "Consider. If you will, her average business day.
"Shortly after eight in the morning, a member of her family assists her to the garage where she is helped into the automobile, a medium-priced car with no special adjustments. Once seated, she is able to press the self-startk and then drag her foot, to the pedals where she keeps them whenever driving. At eight-thirty the arrives at her place of business, the Fort Wayne Drug Company, a large wholesale house in the business district of the city. An associate meets her at the carb and helps her to her desk. As head of the billing department for the store, she puts in a very busy eight hours, taking off an hour at noon when she drives home for lunch.
"At five thirty, she is helped into her car again and one day's work is done. But instead of returning home to that she proceeds to put in another day's work. Assuming the role of life insurance agent, she drives to all parts of the city and to neighboring towns throughout the city, calling on as many prospective possessors she takes advantage of the quitting hour to meet many of her clients on the street and drive them home, 'selling them' on the way. She usually returns home for dinner, although not always and then goes out again, rarely quitting before ten o'clock at night. Sometimes she is not home until after eleven.
"Her success in selling policies has been so marked that on numerous occasions she has done as much business as full-time salariemployed by the same firm in the Fort Worth district, both as to the number of policies written per month and also as to the monthly volume of business, or not enums "From Everybody's Magazine for December.

NERVOUS CHILDREN
Dy the Black Cross Nurses of New York
The temperament of children varies much, but one may recognize certain types. These types are distinct, but all children do not conform to it, unless for there may be intermediates grades. First, then, there is the dull philomelic child who is roused with difficulty, slow in thought, quiet in disposition and sluggish in action. After, there is the sunny child, whose temperament is equable, who takes lifesey, readily makes friends, and is very even tempered. Then there is the nervous excitable child with whist we are more particularly concerned for it is this type of child that the neglect of certain little points of hygiene importance may give rise to disastrous results. These nervous children are very emotional, their brains are on a higher level than the others. It is from this class that the infant prodigies and goniuses arise, and this type is the greatest source from which the mentally unstable are drawn. There are two main groups: those children who exhibit little or no power of self-command and those in whom there is great capacity for self-control.
The characteristics of those in the first group are as follows: They are usually very eager and energetic for the time being, but this feverishness can dies away. They are restless, always wanting to do something or other, but soon tiring of it and giving it up for something else, which in turn is cast aside; they lack the power of application, they jump at conclusions, quick to grasp a thing they soon forget it; they have little capacity for judgment. Usually very immaginative, they are easily frightened and pretty things worry them; easily upset, they soon become preyish. They show affection readily, but it is not always deep, and they are often soft, their dissection is often easily upset without apparent cause, and they are prone to suffer much from functional nervous disorders.
In the second group you leave a better type, those who feel keenly but do not let their feelings run away with them; they have great power of self-respect. They are intelligent and observant, and unlike the former type are able to apply themselves to work without getting tired of it. In many ways they are the reverse of those in the first group; they are imaginative, and if carried, to certain mountains their point of view shortly. They soon grasp an idea and return it, they are retreated and often act absurd. Show to show affection, they are tender in preserving it. They present themselves normally sound; they are very sensitive and keep things to themselves. Those children do not present any point in physical charisma. These excitable children in the first group are peculiarly prone to suffer from various functional disorders which may give rise to a great deal of distress, although many of them are of little consequence. The causes which lead to the occurrence of these disorders are nearly always unreliable to the inheritance of some neurotic traits. Thus the incidence of a local irritation, whether in the form of teething, adenoids or worms in the nose, may give rise to concomitant or other forms of nervous disorder in the child of neurotic parentage, which would produce an effect in the child of parents with a more equable temperament. Consequently these children require much more careful treatment than others, both at home and at school, from every point of view. In order to bring them up with the minimum amount of nervous exclamation,

China Will Not Be Bullied
"Our people at home are fed up on war and are resolute under the burden of sope taxes, which are hanging ever from the last inch." The legislature on the week which would vote a war obligation to send troops and pay taxes to China for the purpose of opposing tyranny associated a half-century ago which every one feels is one of the last and the first accord with modern southern China or elsewhere. The answer to this problem is that the powers, going to make the best of the situation and accede to China's desire,aving as much as they can of the material interests which were built up under the old system. In other words, instead of force, they are going to use conciliation, or for some principle, interest now is made, they know that trade can not flourish in an atmosphere of disquiet and suspicion. In consequence of the situation, it is accurate to say that China is generally ultimately to obstruct everything away from the stealthy of equal treaty treatment on paper. We use the statement on paper, because as long as China is domestically politically and ideologically, she cannot expect to become the legal nation which is organized and have stable governments, China.

From-The Gold Coast Leader
General Hertzog, the prime minister of the South African Dominion, has what is called a native policy, emphasising his attention at present, which is exercising the minds of politicians within and without the Dominion. According to the prime minister he is striving a set of bills, one on administration, another on native land, supplementary to the act on bills, in which he is
with squatting, a forth instituting a native general council, and a fifth dealing with franchise or rather with the Queen Parliament. He proposes taking the view of the opposition and discussing the bill with General Smupts before it is finally shaped for presentation to Parliament in the session of 1927. He appears very keen upon these bills and speaking to his constituents at Smithfield on November 12, he said: "I have never on any subject of importance in South Africa felt such a unanimity of desire to cover the solution of a question." "Now is today over the native problem." This has impressed me greatly in all my travels throughout the country. It is a feeling common to all parties. I have spoken as freely to individual members of the South African party as I have to members of the National party, and I do not know that I have come across a single man who has not expressed to me a sincere hope that I will go on with the matter and put it through.
Of course, what concerns us in all this is in how far our betheen in South Africa are going to be gatherers by this flood of bills. In this connection an awkward disclosure is said to have been made to the effect that the princes proposals include the general extension throughout the Union of the franchise to the colored population, as distinct from the natives on the same basis as the European franchise, including the right to sit in Parliament.

It is CED-O-BAG, a moth-proof, damp-proof, dust-proof, germ-proof storage bag for clothes, blankets and furs. It is the greatest, fastest selling household article that has come on the market for years. Every housewife wants one, buys on sight. CED-O-BAGS are made from rubbed fabric which has been chemically treated. They are patented. Nothing like them. Instead of a small bag, they have a chest, a CED-O-BAG in a hard space for two to four and yet, with all of these new shapes, CED-O-BAGS are sold.
World, suggests that for polities, meaning the pure-blooded, Kurdish there is to be an industrial segregation on the lines of the polish-bill territorial segregation by means of reserved green, and political segregation through the gradual extension of the escape native fronctions. It continues, "the native new possessing a vote will be deprived thereof, but no native not possessing a vote will be allowed to acquire it." Thus in the course of a generation or two it will disappear. A native congress is to be established with the right to elect seven European representatives the Natives in Parliament. Native voters will be given the option of surpringering them, very immediately and coming into the new scheme or waiting to be deprived of the vote by extinction.
Here is presented to the view here on herculean task before General Herriot's Government, South Africa by reason of the accumulated wrongs in our indigenous broth that has developed for itself the greatest danger spot on the face of Niel's case. The climate being so tempestuous the European has found it possible to rear a family there and to work on fairly healthy conditions that it has following result has been produced. The European has pressed the African into reserves and segregation areas and his freedom and personal liberty have been so circumscribed as to produce a feeling of oppression and tyranny. At the same time the African is heavily taxed and he is forced by the circumstances of his condition to work willingly or unwillingly for the European overload. A further complexity of the problem arises from the fact that the Christian European populations of past generation have had such illicit intercourses with indigenous African women that there are in the Union today some millions of colored people. The European element seems to treat this class of the community with greater tolerance than they do the pure-blooded African and it raises a stupendous moral problem which the age has not to consider.
General Hertzog seriously prepares to enfraiskise the colored populations but to disfranchise their mothers and cousins and other collaterals. It indicates a spirit of tolerance at once deplorable and unjust which must rank in the breast of the aboriginal African. It is like adding insult to injury. It awakens human feeling which not all the population in the world in any way can allow and that is the problem in itsakenness. If you disfranchise the aboriginal African and treat him as an outcast and a leper in reserved argument to walk the pavement of your cities which he has helped to build by the sweat of his brow and the strength of his muscle you are simply soaking the wind to reap the whirlwind, and the harvest, who can tell?
Those who exclude themselves from the people are in no condition to help them.

LEXINGTON, KY. Jan. 31.—When Ed Harris, alias John Henry, Jones, Nassau, confessed attacker of Mrs. Mary Minkerat Digard, murderer of Clarice W. Wren, and his two children, Luel, 9 years, and William, aged 10, is brought to Lexington for trial Tuesday, a force of four soldiers will be here in war arra
Third infantry companies four cavalry troops two machine gun squadrons and a think company have been ordered to be stationed by Governor W. Fields. They will be under command of Colonel Tom Garrett of the 15th Field Artillery, a section of the Spanish American and World Wars, who will be sent to the troops out to block the shattered interference with the entire process of the law.
The law soldiers ordered to Lexington are all picked men. Moreover, four of them saw service in the World War and all the soldiers are veterans.
All the soldiers will be fully trained and will be instructed to carry out all if necessary. Included in the equipment ordered here are five whippet tanks, three 37-millimeter guns and thirty machine guns.
Will Disperse Groups by Force
All the infantry companies will also be equipped with automatic rifles, and with gas bombs. Groups which garbay on the streets will be promptly dispersed, and it was stated that only valleys, disbelief of orders of 'book talk' from people ordered to move on would be 'swift punishment with gun bullets, bayonets or gas bombs, with its certainty of rule and mechanism the in the event any attempt is made to assault the troops.
A restricted area bounded by Limerstone, Church, Broadway and Vine streets will be kept free of all persons except others, and civilians summoned to the Court Home as witnesses or jurors. All steps in that district will be closed until the trial is over and the prisoner is taken back to the penitentiary at Frankfort.
A warging has been issued to all eletricians to stay off the streets Tuesday, not only in the restricted area, but he will the central part of town. The guns that will be used have a range, of a mile, an army officer pointed out, and it would be possible for a powerful citizen going about his business to be killed accidentally by a stray bullet, even though he might be given or eight city blocks from the scene of a disturbance.
Outputs of soldiers on each of the thirteen pikes leading into Lexington will prevent any one coming into the city Tuesday. City policemen will be on the streets outside of the restricted area to warn civilians against going toward the center of town. Inside the zone everything will be strictly military and Colonel Carroll will be in absolute command.
Business houses will be closed. No one will be permitted to enter the restricted zone except those to whom passes have been issued. Witnesses must authorize accompanying members of the law; telephone company the only persons to whom permits will employees and newspaper men will be granted to enter the gate.
Arresting Officers Evaded- Mob
Harris killed Bryant, and his two children, attached Mrs. Bryant, and tried to bain the corpses the night of Jan. 13. He had仁 in vain at the Bryant home, on a farm near this city, until the little family returned from a call in the neighborhood, and then opened a wire with a file. He was captured the next afternoon and a mob of a thousand men was evaded when officers took him to the State penitentiary for safe keeping.
Next morning convicts within the prison tried to lynch Harris, but guards beat them off. Present precautions are more elaborate possibly than would have been the case because Feb. 11, 1920, a mob seeking the life of William Lockett, Negro, charged with assaulting and slaying a little white girl, pushed the soldiers and were fired on by militia guarding the Negro at the court house. Several were killed and thirty or forty persons wounded when the troops fired. Lockett was condemned and electrified soon afterward. The Reyant family today issued a public appeal that the law be observed "but we want the man tried and executed," the statement said.

Indians' Protest Against Proposed Segregation in South Africa—Gandhi to Lead Opposition to Measure by Passive Resistance
From the New York Sun
Two British domination, South Africa and India, are at odds over a question of race. The Nationalists, headed by General Herriot, are supporting a measure for the urban segregation of Indians, who have migrated to South Africa in large numbers, and Indians sent a delegation to Cape Town to protest. A delegation of Indians from South Africa recently visited Calcutta and urged action to prevent the passage of the Asiatics bill and to request King George to disallow it as he is authorized to do under the South African constitution.
Mr. Abdulhammad, a prominent member of the Indian community at Cape Town, presented the petition to the Vienna, creating the grievances of his race, and used a round table conference on the subject. Local Reading expressed sympathy and said India received the right to take appropriate action at the Union refused to listen to the complaint. He added that there was unanimity of opinion in India as to the position of Indians in Africa. The proposal for a national table conference had been rejected, but Dr. Mukhun, Union Minister of the Interior, said the deputation from India would be here.
The Indian National Congress has been meeting at Cawpwain with Mrs Sarojhi Nadib, the first Indian woman president, in the chair. Mahatma Gandhi offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling for arbitration to establish the status of Indians in South Africa, and asking, if arbitration is refused, the home government to order the Governor-general to withhold aid to the reservation areas bill. He reminded the congress that support included passive resistance, which he would lead if necessary. Atogether the new Viceroy who is going out to succeed Lord Reading appears to have plenty of work to out for him. Gandhi is familiar with the situation in South Africa, where he spent much time defending Indian rights before his spectacular appeal in behalf of his fellow Indians at home.
Protest Against "From Greenland's Icy Mountains"
From the New York World
At the suggestion of a distinguished visitor from India the congregation of St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Brooklyn has decided to unit the second stance when singing "From Greenland to Mountains." The visitor, Dr. R. B. Minikam, professor of philosophy at Yale Christian College, India, told his hosts that the allusion to "Ceylon's Idea" where "every prospect pleases" and "only one man is the one was painful to good inhabitants of Ceylon, who stoutly insist that man is no viller in Ceylon than he is elsewhere.
It is not a new objection. There is a tradition that Bishop Reginald Heber, the author of the verses, in his own lifetime came to wish he had avoided this particular phrasing. Bishop Heber was a poet of no mean quality, but when poetic rapture is teamed with religious Server it is not surprising that the pair sometimes runs away with authors.
The bishop was not seeking to defame Ceylon; he sought to draw a picture of an island paradise suitable for the abode of the good and the true, yet inhibited by pagans and sinners. And thus the song reasons:
"In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God, are strenu;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone."
At the time the hymn was written Ceylon was, as it had been for centuries, a stronghold of Buddhism. Certainly an intelligent Buddhist would object to having his worship characterized as howing down to wood and stone.

London - Sir James Clement Brown, lecturing on "Brain Rest", writes a correspondent of the Daily Mail, gave a scale showing how long we ought to sleep at different periods of our lives. I notice in that scale that babies aged six months ought to sleep for eighteen hours 'daily'; I heartily agree they ought to, but they don't. Whenever I have been in a house with a baby of ten age it has seemed to me that sleep was off of the last things it thought of. The babies I have known have been much too怠惰 on yelling for eighteen hours a day, with especial fondness of the middle of the night, to sleep. Again I observe that in adult the eight hour of sleep is the longest day if that is so, why is it that when we go to bed at 10 and sleep soundly all night we are accompanied with the erroneous desire to fall a sleep again as soon as we hear 7 clock strike and know that it is time to rise?
Sleep Plays Pranks
Many books have been written to explain the mystery of sleep, but nobody has yet explained why it plays such imph peaks upon one. When one night to sleep one finds when one ought to be wake awake one is often overwhelmed by sleepiness. It is only too true that, if one has to be read at an early hour, one will wake up at all sorts of times throughout the night, save just at the important time, when one will be wrapped in dreams, unspecting slumber. It always strikes me as odd that nobody ever realizes the night before how difficult it will be to get up the next morning. One doesn't seem to learn that from experience—at least. I haven't learned it. I am constantly making light-hearted, phone with other people to rise early and do various things before breakfast, and never yet have I not bitterly regretted my daily attention often joined to a feeling of violent temporary antipathy toward the friend I have perceived to accompany me.
The desire to go on sleeping if you might to rise is practically invariably present, and let, if there is no necessity to rise, you frequently feel quite ready to get up. Only once or twice in my life, when I have mistaken the time and get out of bed an hour too soon and immediately returned to it, have I experienced a real joy out of my morning sleepiness. As for getting up too early and not discovering your error until you have dressed—that simply doesn't bear thinking about.
The amount a grown-up person sleeps is a fancy, largely a matter of habit. The ideal may be eight hours, but many people account themselves to less and many to more. If our accepted time for rising is 8 o'clock and the clock says 7, we also even, though it be summer time and the real hour is 7. But if we were all to agree to get up an hour earlier without changing the clock many of us would feel that we had been done out of our proper night's rest.
beautiful place as Ceylon. A poet, of course, would always french shorts and diagrams to explain the meaning of his lines.
The hymn was composed more than a century ago. Bishop Hebert's verse was worthily clothed in Lowell Mason's music. Together they have furnished one of the militant missionary songs of all time. Few things in Christian hymnology are more stirring than the majestic exhortation with which it closes.
The second stanza may be omitted without doing great harm to the hymn, although it means deletion of a fine imaginative passage. Or perhaps the hymn looks might provide harm for incarcerated Ceylonese sensibilities by putting an asterisk after the word Ceylon and explaining in a footnote that the use of the island's name is only a figure of speech.

The southern Mexicans have a pleasant little diversion that they usually practice on unfitiful wives. In the waters of salamanders ponds, and their slow flowing streams they have a leech that is known locally as 'Kandiroso-says Adventure Magazine'.
This agreeable aquatic gentleman has a dorsal fin and the臀 part of penetrating body cavities. Once badly, he dorsal fins just as a barbed arrow would do, and he can be dislodged only by cutting. Left alone he days a mass of eggs, soon become a writhing mass of grubs, whose every movement is an agony to the miserable host.

POLITICAL BUBBLE BURST BY WEST AFRICAN PAPER
Hypocority of British in Claiming to Confer Benefits on Natives Through New Constitution Is Exposed - Political Status of Natives Remains the Same
In view of the extravagant, pressagenting by the British of a change in the Constitution of the Gold Coast which; we are asked to believe, gives the Legislature, the following editorial comment taken from the Gold Coast Times in enlightening:
THE NEW CONSTITUTION
The new Constitution just promulgated has been received with considerable surprise and keen disappointment since it does not fulfill the expectations of the people nor introduce changes rendering it superior to the old legislative machinery. And the old Constitution could not be person he likes into the Legislative Council and the people were not bound by the opinions or actions of those nominated. But the new Constitution professes to give to the people something which they cannot get in practice, and it does not advance them beyond their present political status. What strikes one at once in studying it is the preponderance of European representation in the new council. In a legislature of twenty-nine members, excluding the governor, only one-third of the membership is assigned to the natives, to whom the country belongs and who naturally two-thirds of it represent British official, commercial and mining interests, and this can hardly be said to be equitable. Suppose some measure were to be introduced affecting our vital interests, either in Native Jurisdiction or the Land, what chance have nine African members against a possible combination of twenty white official and unofficial members? That is a point to which we wish to concentrate on the people of our people. But we are merely assuming, for the sake of argument, that the nine native members will be elected to the new council by the popular vote. The new member may be held or later be appointed to the new council. The native member, of the new council is to consist of six paramount chiefs, obviously to represent the interests of the other paramount chiefs, while the mass of the people is to be represented by only three Africans. We say that the paramount chiefs to be elected will obviously represent the interests of their class in the new council because they are not to be elected by the Oman, the natural electorate of this country, but by a body constituted of themselves. The paramount chiefs are to be formed into a body to be known as the "Provincial Council," rather than a Provincial Electorate, in which from which they derive their authority, and proceed to elect some of their members to the legislature. It is further laid down that other functions, beside the electorate of members, will be assigned to the "Provincial Council" from time to time by ordinance. Each "Provincial Council" will elect two or more members, but if it fails to do so the Governor will set in and nominate the necessary number of chiefs. Nor

is this all. Power is conferred on a Provincial commissioner to disqualify any paramount chief, so elected if in his opinion the candidate cannot read and speak, the English language well enough to enable him to take part in the discussions of the council. If the paramount chiefs are not aware that the legislature and that it is essential that those who take part in the proceedings there must be able to read and speak it sufficiently well, there may be some ground for this provision, but, they know it fully well.
New. Economy Report On Virgin Islands
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.—Economic conditions on the Virgin Islands are detailed set forth in a new report, known as Senate Document No. 41, Sixty-ninth Congress, First Season, which was introduced in the United States Senate, January 18, 1926, by Senator Willis, of Ohio.
The report was compiled for the U. S. Treasury Department by Rufus S. Tucker, following a thorough investigation on the islands by the compiler and Roswell P. Magell of Columbia University. The investigations were primarily made for the purpose of considering the currency situation and the possibility of establishing an American bank in the Virgin Islands, formerly known as the Danish West Indies and purchased by the United States from Denmark in March, 1917, for $25,000,000.—C.

The following article on the brutal treatment of the Syrians by the French is taken from the Irish World, which area in the entry of the United States into the World Court, a potential alliance by the great republic of the West with England and France in their barbarous treatment of weak people. The New York Nation publishes an article entitled "Syriac - Acid Test of the Mandates." Syriac by Edward Mende Earle. In his introductory remarks he affirms:
There has been an unfortunate disposition to regard the bombardment of Damascus as a closed incident. Some overoptimistic friends of France have taken undue comfort in the recall of General Barclay and the insistence for him of a high commissioner, M. de Jouvenel, friends of the league怨 that the Dernament Mandate Comprehensive League has been imposed on the Syrian mandate. All that need be done, therefore, is to wait patiently until February, when the new high commissioner, like his predecessor, will inform the league that France is determined to fulfill her high mission of civilization among the Arabs. Meanwhile Syrians are being killed for defending those Wilsonian principles of self-determination to which the Allies possessed allegiance during the late war. Very heavy share of the military population in Syria, terminating in the vandalism of Damascus, must be borne by the League of Nations."
The very day on which we read these words in the Nation, the New York Evening World published the dispatch hereunder:
"French Bombard Damascus Again
'JERUSALEM, Jan. 13 (U.P.)' The French today bombarded the Shaqouan quarter of Damascus. Many persons who have to shake their hands have been wounded in this, the second big bombardment of the ancient city in recent months."
The French, by this censure attack, have proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the first bombardment of Damascus is anything but "a closed incident." The real character of the League of Nations and the World Court could not be more conclusively demonstrated than it has been by the manner in which the French have permitted France to shunt the unfortunate people of Syria, whose only offense is that they desire to hold their own country for themselves and recent exploitation by any foreign power.
The men in the United States Senate who are so arrogantly eager to get this Republic into the League of Nations via the World Court—to make these United States the allies of England and France in their bourbous ambitions on weak peoples—deserve severe punishment. That punishment will be their souls or later, as sure as there is a Just God in heaven.
AN AFRICAN NATIONAL
DARK PROPSEER
South Africans desire a national park and same preserve, and a bill is before the Union Parliament to create one on the eastern border of the Transvaal between the Crocodile River and the Limpopo River. The advocates of the plan believe that it would prove of the highest commercial, popular and scientific value. A district on the Sahf River, between the Draenkersberg and the Lebomba Mountains, which form the boundary of Portuguese East Africa, was formerly set apart as a game sanctuary in which it was forbidden to hunt or disturb beasts of prey. It was extended to include a district 200 miles by stony covering the area contemplated for park purposes by the authors of the bill now under consideration.
Much of the land had been surveyed before the last Boer war and had been allotted to land and mining companies. Under pressure from the mining companies the government in 1923 released the sections of the reserve between the Olifants River on the north and the Crocodile River on the south. Now it is seeking to regain this area, but there are in it about seventy forms which are private property. To set a fair price on these is the chief present obatchete to forming a national park which would be one of the great game reserves of the world. To measure declare the region is unhealthful, the soil poor and the rainfall deficient. The agitation against the park is said by its defenders to be due to land speculators, who want the reserve thrown open, and to hiltong hunters who would destroy game recklessly without regard to the future.
The present warden, Major Stevenen-Hamilton, and, his rangers are energetically barring hunters, keeping down the number of lizards and trying to prevent outside depredations by beasts having their lakes in the area. If the prospect should go through further, the park would be provided in the national parks of the United States, would be provided, and a ecological park on a gigantic scale would be formed, with fenced roads and included camps.
LONDON, Jan. 26. Italy for the first time on record has come into first place after Great Britain in the world's shipbuilding industry. The report of Lord's Register of Shipbuilding Returns for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, gives the following figures: Great Britain paid £973,000; Ireland paid £59,000; Italy paid £69,000; France paid £245,000.

"Poor Economy to Sacrifice Minds of Children," Except When the Children Happen to Be Negroes—Illiteracy Practically Planned
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. In this annual report for the scholastic year/1923-34 the Superintendent of Education of the State of South Carolina says: To save money by sacrificing the minds of our children is poor enoocery; it is ROBBERY." But this enlightening report shows that the per capita expenditure to average attendance for the scholastic year was $65.31 for the white and only 39 for the Negro pupil; that the average salary paid white teachers was $65.31, compared with 40; for the colors that the average number of pupils per teacher was 21 for the white and 42 for the colored, and that the value of school houses and grounds for white children was $23,855,628, against $2,661,299 for the colored.
Under the operation of what is known as the 6-0-1 law the State pays the salaries of all public school teachers under a given schedule for the first six months, provided the district or county runs its school or schools an additional month. But the State is not the only "poor economy" and "robbersy." "It is the opinion of the State Superintendent of Education that the expenditure for Negro schools under this law should REMAIN IN STATUS QUO.
According to the last U. S. Census there were 42,120 colloquial children from 5 to 15 years old in South Carolina who did not attend school, and during the five-year period 1920 to 1925 a decrease of the number of former students in the migration northward, there has been an acute labor situation throughout the Palmetto State. And yet they pretend to wonder why the Negroes leave good Oldix and their "best friends"—C. P. B.
THE WILLINGDON WARNING
Danger of Conflict Between White and Colored Grows With Intolerance
From the Moslem Outlook, S. Africa
As was only to be expected, Lord
Willingham's warning at the Church
Congress at Eastbourne regarding the
danger of racial conflict unless the
white people treat the colored races in a
split of equality has provoked wide-
spread comment in the British press
while the Tory diehards are almost as
a body unanimous in condemning his
actions, and the Conservatives in the
racial arrogance of his congratulation
it is refreshing to note that eminent
thinkers and publishers of the type of
Mr. H. G. Wells have boldly come
forward to indorse the views and the opinions
of his leadership. Interviewed by the
London Daily News, Mr. Wells said: "I
delicately told to hear a little common
sense about facts at least from a man
whose standing compels respect and
attention. An overwhelming torrent of
nonsense about the white races, the
Anglo-Saxon race, the inferior races,
and so forth, has been poured out dur-
ing the last decade. I am with the utmost danger to the peace of
the world. It gives a sham scientific
justification to exclusions, enslavements
and persecutions. There is no such
thing as a pure, distinct race of human
beings in the world; they mingle, they
pass into each other by imperceptible
decree."

Army of Starving Vagrants Organized and Led by Their Own Rob and Pillage in Towns
MOSCOW, Jan. 27.-Driven by hunger and cold, great fucks of vagrant children are descending upon the large cities from outlying sections like famished wolves, robbing peatlanders, pillaging homes and destroying property. At Kharkov small armies of these children have terrified the population, and they have taken their weapons on houses and thefts, and it was only after the greatest difficulty and threat to 'shoot at them; that armed militia rested order. Scores of the youthful manauders were arrested. Mme. Kalinin, wife of the chairman of the all-Russian central executive committee, visited the home in Moscow of one group of these parahurkins, who consisted of a house tar liner. Romania, Romania, like inmates throughout the night she learned much about their habits, and activities.
She found a special form of communism existed among them. One of their number, for instance, specializes in stealing halftail purses; another in snatching leaves of their fuel; a fourth clothing, while a fifth does general scout work. At the end of the war, the police are apparently portioned. Those who refuse to work or steal are cast out, like drones from a hive of bees.
The irrigating even have their own intelligence service, hence informed beforehand whenever the police plan a raid on them.
Mme. Kalfin declares that these roving fortunities enjoy such freedom and absolute abstention, it is impossible to harm or orphanages. The problem is beyond the government, and she appeals for public assistance.
A pleasing article written by Stephanie H. Riess in the New York Sun recently caught our eye, and we reproduced it hereunder for our readers who seek information:
The concern in which tea was held in America may be gathered by recalling the Boston Tea Party, which was a protest against a "high tax" on this product. It seems that when tea was first discovered it at once rose to the position of favor which it has ever since retained. The taste required no "cultivation."
One writer claims that the famous tea known and classified in China 2000 B. C. almost as completely as it is today, and that it was used as a means of promoting amity between monarchs and potentates at this early period.
Clin-Nung, a celebrated scholar and philosopher, who lived long before Conductus, said of it: "Tea is better than wine, for it beathd not to Intolleration, neither does it cause a man to say foolish things and reason thereof in his sober moments. It is better than wine, for it beathd not to Intolleration, neither does it get at a prison as both water when the well contain foul and rotten matter."
Tradition, never at a loss for some marvelous story, claims that the use of traa was first discovered accidentally in China by some gritty, whimble to use the brackish water near their temple, seeped in it the leaves of a shrub growing in the vicinity. With the intention of correcting its unpleasant properties. The experiment was not conducted in China, but substantiates of their discovery, subsequently calibrating the plant extensively for that purpose. Another record attributes its first discovery, about 1337 B. C., to the aforementioned Chim-Nung, to whom all agricultural and medicinal knowledge is traced in China. One day he was repleasing a fire made of the branches of the tea plant. Some of the leaves fell into the vessel in which he was boiling water and found it to be no exhilarating in its effects that he continued to use it and imparted the knowledge until its use had spread throughout the land.
The first written reference to tea is that by Klingburg in the fourth century, who not only described the plum but also the process of preparing it: "On a low fire set a tripod and till it

Then at your ease drink the precious liquor so prepared, which will chase away the five causes of sorrow. You can taste and feel but not describe the state of reposs produced by a beverage thus prepared. There is some uncertainty as to who brought tea to Europe. The honor king brought tea to East India Company, who seized it to sterilize it in 1607, and some Portuguese who took it to their country at about the same time. It did not reach England until sixty or seventy years later, when it at once became a literary topic for Dr. Johnson. Macaulay, Repys and other notables, all of whom drank it in large quantities and with great enthusiasm.
South Africa's Ostrich Crisis Reached
From the New York Sun
Among South Africa's industry that were hard hit by the World War waste that of ostrich farming, which has experienced a great decline in the past two years despite a brief revival in 1919. The number of birds in the district in out Africa where ostrich breeding chicks flourd dropped from 75,700 in 1913 to 314,000 five years later and has never regained the former fame, while the price of feathers slumped from $14 a pound to less than $1. In pre-war life they were among the most important articles of trade commerce, exports reaching nearly $150,000 annually. Owing to the decreasing profit most of the ostrich breeders took to farming. The United States, a great market, has also taken to producing feathers in considerable quantities.
Wild oysters are becoming extinct. Once they were abundant in Asia Minor, as they will recall who is member Nephropsia account of the decorary parramas traversed by the Greek army in the retreat from the Persian border, but now they are only to be found in the waste places of southern Africa. Their beautiful plums, especially of the male birds, led to the industry of esthetic farming, which flourished especially at Cootshorn and around Ladysmith, first pursued by the British. They are now cultivated. Now, in its depopulation it has been superseded by fruit, wheat, poultry and dairy farming, and is not likely to attract those who have abandoned it.
But there are South Africans who still raise ostriches, and they have just started an investment in control the feather output in the production of diamonds is controlled. The Cape Government apparently is willful in its investment in diamonds, but much means. It is bored, the dusty could be put upon its feet and rendered profitable once more. Experimenters have already rushed into the oystershank market, and owing to their heavy purchases prices on the spot had risen 60 per cent by the first week in December. Cape Town correspondents, however, say that even under government control only a few farmers will be able to profit the industry will not soon take up oyster farming.

LONDON. An impression of the Kalahari Desert, a region which is still only partially explored, has been given, writes a correspondent of the Times to Johnsburg Star represented by Dr. A. L. du Toit, geologist to the Union Irrigation Department—and leader of the government expedition to the Kalahari, who has just returned to Dewaria.
The expedition went out to dole- stance work in the region between Lviv- stings on the Zambel just above the Nestera Faltsi and Lapis Ngmil, and the invi- tations that had been planned were carried out successfully. It was undertaken for the purpose not so much of examining Pref. Schwarz- bler and the feasibility of his "scheme" for florigating the Kalahari of re- assembling any other possible method of making use of the waters of the Zambel and the Lluynati. Pref. Schwarz was a member of the party as the master of the government, and travel- ed with the expedition for a limited period.
The expedition worked in the area westward from Lvivstone, in which was clearly a place by fortune complete with a river. Early in the Year the rainfall had been exe- sional. The rivers had reached their maximum and were then falling steadily. The maximum height which the flood had reached was this capable of ready de- perpilation.
"The heavy transport was done by or
oxen, but the members of the party
were fortunate in having a Dodge
screen van, which was equipped with
balloon tires. It was driven through
bush savaged country without roads,
and the van was able to have
haved tooper like a tank, pushing
down the tree in its path." Even in
the heavy sand volk the car pulled
through under its own power. The
party penetrated t' the northwest up
to the banks of the Luyanty and in a
country inhabited only by occasional
warming beaches and in a region
that had been flooded for a long
time timbered and devoid of
landmarks."
"The denations of tsetse飞" said Dr. Dein Tett, "will have to be reckoned with in the future. The encroachment of the fly into the Kalahari region, in a southeastern direction, has led to the abandonment of successive roads." With the encroachment of the fly new roads飞 have to be cut in this bishom country further south, and the present road to Mumbai lies well outside the Maharashtra, which in dawn gone by was traversed from north to south by the north highway. With further possible penetration by the fly the roads飞 have to be deviated still further into the Kalahari proper—a different matter, going to the lack of permanent streams and the fact that supplies are obtainable only from water can be laid in the pans. It has to be recognized that the areas situated in the in those parts are very largely, or almost entirely, contained in the existing rivers and to the swamps that fringe them.
"There is a fair amount of game in the region, more particularly in the ports which are not inhabited." The country was intersected with game parks and elephants' enclosures, were abundant. Zooers, too, were in great relief in the region, and are also to be found. The use of elephants was attended with considerable success. By their means exploration can be carried on in a country which is otherwise accessible only with the greatest difficulty. This is rather important, because of the proposal to have a stock route by which cattle would be run from southern Rhodesia, across to southwest Africa. Although not present in the region, the reason for the risk of the spreading of certain diseases which are affecting the Protectorate and Rhodesia, it is not unlikely that in the near future there may be developments in this particular direction, which would necessarily mean the provision of water supplies along, one or more routes extending across the Protectorate from east to west. Some such routes could be built if one could find suitable which are taking place in the meat industry, particularly in the direction of depots in the Protectorate, in Rhodesia and in southwest Africa."
