The Negro World

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1827 NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 103 W 125TH ST NEW YORK CITY WHAT OF MARCUS GARVEY, NEGROES! China has its Eugene Chen, not so long ago it had its Sun Yat Sen; India has its Mahatma Gandhi; Egypt has its Zaglouhl Pasha; Turkey its Kemal Pasha. These are great countries, some potentially great, some once great, but all in this day blessed with leaders of courage and vision, uncompromising, upstanding men, real patriots, determined that their fellow countrymen shall not be mere hewers of wood and drawers of water. One vast continent of oppressed peoples is missing from the catalogue—Africa, the home of more than three hundred million black men, women and children, the richest country in the world, the birthplace of mankind. The name of one great leader and patriot is missing—Marcus Garvey, the swarthy, dynamic, prophetic stalwart who eight years ago hoisted upon his shoulders the cross his race has been condemned by unfeeling men to carry and essayed, alone and undismayed, to bear it up the heights. Were we a Roland Hayes we would forsake the German masters for a while and go out into the world and in soulful song, depicting his race's woes, translating their hopes, voicing their determination, make such appeal as would cause the oppressor to squirm in his chair and go forth from the concert room, constrained through fear, if not through conversion, to give to Africa and Africans the things that are theirs. For Marcus Garvey has been bearing the cross alone. His voice is for a while silenced, and an ungrateful, thoughtless, unseeing race sits supinely by while the opportunity of an age is allowed to pass by. Chen, Sen, Zaglouhl Pasha, Kemal Pasha, Gandhi, all had their troubles in greater or lesser degree. Sun Yat Sen was called to his fathers, and today his spirit nerves 300,000,000 to the task of the redemption of China. All the others are still in the forefront of the fray, leading their hosts to freedom and power and light. Africa—black men alone stumble along, their leader, the only leader that has come to them in a generation, compelled to spend his days in a felon's cell. The thing cries out to Heaven for redress. Black men, what are you going to do? Patience is a virtue, but it can become a vice—the patience that connotes meek, unreasoning, suicidal acquiescence in a lot that is detrimental to one's very existence. It is for the Negro citizens of the United States of America, at least those who owe allegiance to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to vow this day that they will not rest night or day until their leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, is restored to them. He has deserved well of a race. History will concede that he deserved well of mankind. But one Marcus Garvey alive and at the helm is worth a thousand Marcus Garveys slumbering beneath an artistic tombstone. Awake, Negroes, and importune President Coolidge to set your hero free. Justice should not be allowed to go on vacation for five years.—The Editors. PREJUDICE AGAINST US ECONOMIC, NOT RACIAL, SAYS DEAN AFRICA BIRTHPLACE OF MANKIND SAY SCIENTISTS, CITING PROOF Boleit College Expedition Unearths Skeleton of Child of About 60,000 B. C. in Prehistoric Camp Site in Algeria Mr. Pond, Director of Expedition, Agrees With Dr. Collie as to Africa's Place in History of Humankind (From the N. Y. Times, April 26) The finding a few weeks ago of the skull and many of the bones of a child of about 60,000 B.C. in a prehistoric deposit forming a camp site of an early human race at Mechta-Arbel Algeria, was announced yesterday by Alonzo W. Pond, Director of the Logan African expedition of Beltol College, who returned on the Leviathan. Mr. Pond, Assistant Curator of the Logan Museum of Anthropology at Beltol, said that the discovery strengthened the theory held by Dr. George L. Collie, Professor of Anthropology at Beltol, now conducting similar researchs abroad, that Africa is the birthplace of mankind rather than the Gobi Desert in Asia or any other part of the world. The Beloit expedition, which, Mr. Pond said, has made the only discovery of the kind credited to American anthropologists, is financed largely by Dr. Frank G. Logan of Chicago, retired capitalist, philanthropist and Vice President of the Chicago Art Museum. Its recent find is of special interest because of its bearing on the acquisition of the Cap Blane skeleton by the Field Museum of Chicago, unearthed in a cave of that name at Les Fyres in the southern part of France, which has been described as the "capital of the prehistoric world." "The Cap Blane skeleton is believed to be of the Magdalenian period, or last of the old Stone Age, and accordingly is about 25,000 years old," said Mr. Pond. "We expect to establish the truth of our belief that we have human bones of the Middle Aurignacian period, 25,000 years earlier. The skull and such parts of the skeleton of the prehistoric child that we found are being shipped to America for final classification by Dr. Fay Copper Cole of the Department of Anthropology at Chicago University and Professor Roamer, the noted paleontologist of the same university. A. Albertini, Director of Algerian Antiquities, gave permission for the shipment readily upon our promise to record the name when we have concluded our studies. Dr. Colloi's belief that Africa was the birthplace of man has interested anthropologists here and abroad in recent years because of the contrary theory held by Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History of New York, graduate of Beloit twenty years ago and student under Dr. Colle, that in the Gobi Desert is to be found actual proof of the beginning of the human race. Telling of the circumstances of the find, Mr. Pond said: "We were trying out various locations in the vicinity of Mechtas-el-Arbl, which because of your finding of ancient weapons led us to believe that excavating would reveal a real discovery. Lifting about a foot of earth we reached a hard calcium carbonate crust, netting as a protective covering over the largest layer of small shells I ever saw. It was about 150 yards long and 100 yards wide, and about 5 yards deep. "As we dug it became apparent that we were beeing into an ancient camp site, for there was a quantity of ashes, mingled with bones of animals which had apparently been eaten by the prehistoric people. Among the pieces of flint and bone we unearthied were many weapons, including a dagger, thirteen inches long, apparently made from the leg bone of an ox. "Thirty-one inches below the calcium carbonate covering of the deposit was the skull, and beside it were the long bones of the arms and legs, some of the vertebrae and the BAYER ASPIRIN PROVED SAFE Take without Fear as Told in "Bayer" Package BAYER BAYER Does not affect the Heart Wish you see the "Bayer Cross" or package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved and by millions and prescribed by publishers over twenty-five years for Colsls Hendrhe Benziril Lumbago Benziril Rheumatism Benziril Pain, Pain This package "Bayer" package not recommended directions. Ready body of the package for use. Due to small bones of the extremities. All were well preserved. The bones were grouped together, but not in the normal position they would have been in if the skeleton had been intact. It was evident that the skeleton had been disturbed by some prehistoric animal and all traces of the remaining bones for that reason were lost." Mr. Pond said that he was led to agree with Dr. Colle as to Africa's place in the history of humankind because of discoveries in the stone industries. He is further convinced because of the presence of higher types of apes in Africa and of the recent discoveries on that continent of many fossils of higher types of apes. "In the heart of the Salarua Desert," said Mr. Pond, "we discovered stone industries which have all the characteristics of the most ancient Old Stone Age cultures of Europe. In our most recent excavation, we found quantities of animal remains of long extinct species, notably a giant ox measuring 52 inches between the tips of its horns, which are also on the way to America to be studied with the 60,000 B. C. human bones." Mr. Pond expressed regret that discoveries in the field of Mousterian Age industries, dating back 160,000 years, had not developed human remains. The finding of many of these industries led Mr. Pond to believe that the skull now being shipped to this country is a cross between the Neanderthal or Aurignacian race in Europe and the Cro-Magnon. "I think we have ample evidence that the Aurignacian men in Europe and in Africa were the same and perhaps that Africa was once largely populated with prehistoric man who emigrated to Europe across the land believed to have joined Europe and Africa at the southern poles of Italy and Gibraltar at that early period of the world's history," said Mr. Pond. The Quest of Rubber U. S. Seeking New Rubber Fields to Conquer-Eyes Now on Northern Tropical America Drawback Is Lack of Cheap Wage Slaves — Talk of Importing Chinese by Arrangement! WASHINGTON, April 27.—Areas in Mexico and Central American comprising altogether six million acres of land are suitable for the cultivation of Para rubber, according to a report just issued by the Department of Commerce. This report is the sixth in a series on essential raw materials made by the department as a result of surveys conducted in foreign countries by the Government agents in the last four years. Congress appropriated $500,000 to pay the cost of these surveys. The latest report gives the results of surveys made in the countries comprising what the department describes as a northern tropical America. Soil, climate, labor and transportation were studied in the course of this survey. The report states that large areas of lands suitable for rubber cultivation are to be found in southern Mexico, the low lands of Guatemala, on the northeastern coast of Honduras, in Costa Rica and on the northern coast of Panama. It also found lands suitable for rubber cultivation in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, the Guatemala, and the islands of Haiti and Trinidad. In several respects it finds that the countries of northern tropical America offer advantages over Malaya and Sumatra as rubber growing districts. These include low cost of land, better transportation facilities, superior soil and available areas clear of virgin jungle. Accessible lands suitable for cultivation of rubber can be bought outright for prices ranging from $1 to $6 an acre, says the report. They are located within eight days' falling time of the principal United States ports, which brings the crude rubber plantation a month near the principal rubber consuming market than are the plantations which now supply most of the world's rubber. The principal handbook to cultivation of rubber in northern tropical America, says the report is the back of labor. There are only between 20,000 and 40,000 workers available which would be insufficient to economical cultivation of rubber plantations, according to the report. The suggestion is made that Chinese labor be imported under arrangement with the Governments concerned. Wages also are higher than in the East Indies, laborers receiving from $1 to $1.56 a day, compared with 25 cents to 40 cents a day in Sumatra and Malaysia. It is estimated that rubber could be produced at a cost of 52 cents a pound, compared with 15 to 20 cents a pound in the East Indies. By intensive methods of cultivation the cost might be cut down to 25 cents a pound, says the report. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1987 New Orleans Asks President Coolidge to Release Mr. Garvey The following telegram has just been sent to President Coolidge by the New Orleans, Louisiana, Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: Hon. Calvin Coolidge. White House. Washington, D. C. Three thousand Negroes of the state of Louisiana, members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, assembled in mass meeting, greet and plead that you extend elelency to the Hon. Marcus Garney now in Atlanta Penitentiary; we feel that he has suffered and pray that you return him as a gift to us, his broken-hearted followers. We hope that you will graciously hear this petition, and grant your humble petitioners their only prayer—the release of Marcus Garvey. (Sgd.) John Cary, Jr., President, S. E. Robbman, Exec. Secy. U. S. NOT TO TAKE DRASTIC ACTION WITH POWERS IN CHINA Washington Rejects Proposals of Diplomats at Peking to Join Other Powers in Drastic Demands WASHINGTON, April 25.--While additional consideration will be necessary before the five powers concerned with the Nanking outrages of March 24 reply to the notes of Eugene Chen, Cantonese Foreign Minister at Hankow, it was said officially today that the United States contemplated taking no lusty action and, due to the chaotic conditions in South China, would give careful consideration to the whole matter. Recommendations submitted more than a week ago by Minister MacMurray at Peking, after consultation with his diplomatic colleagues from Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy, were found to be unacceptable not only to Washington but also to some of the other four Governments. The MacMurray report urged the sending of an identic note with the other powers to Chen in reply to his unsatisfactory response to the original demands for redress. The State Department, in making known its position, denied that Minister MacMurray had been ordered to, refrain from conversations on the ranking incident with the other Min- banking incident with the other Ministers at Peking. So far as known here there is no reason why conversations among the diplomats at Peking should not proceed as hereforeo, even though the recommendations of the Ministers appeared too drastic. What these embodied has not been disclosed. Secretary Kellogg did not know definitely whether any of the other four powers had accepted the form of note proposed from Peking, and did not even know exactly how each country now stood on the subject, but he has been credibly informed that all have not accepted the proposed form. Admiral Williams Reports Admiral Williams, commanding the Asiatic Fleet, today forwarded a report on Yanktse River conditions from Rear Admiral Hough, commanding the Yangtse patrol, saying that no evidence was placed in Chen's promises of assistance to American business men, to whom he had appealed to resume their activities at Hankow. Conditions in that city, he said, were "no better." Chen was notified by the consular body there that the Nationalist Government would be held responsible for damage to foreign property. Reference was also made by Admiral Hough to a continuation of the bombardment of Pukow from Nanking, across the river. The dispatch was garrilled in transmission. It read as follows: "The following has been received from Rear Admiral Hought: "At Nanking, bombardment by Lion and Tiger Hills yesterday afternoon. "At Hankow, conditions no better. The financial situation is chaotic, with no hope of improvement. Chen is requesting the local heads of American firms to resume their usual business and promises assistance. No Faith in Pledges, He Says "No credence is placed in his statement, then has informed the consular body that the Nationalist government will not assume any responsibility for loss or damage to buildings and property aloned by foreigners owners 171. The consular body has informed then that the Nationalist government would be held responsible. "Fully accurate reports state that Ching Katsiek troops are now near Khansu-Hunan border moving toward Shanghai 12.1. Trenches are being dig in the rear of the concessions and exconcessions. Two Krupp guns have been mounted on the fall in Wuchung bearing on Hankow. "As a result of attempts by a mob of coyotes to force two Americans at the upper Standard Oil Company installation to proceed to the headquarters of the labor unions to adjudicate, I have occupied the installation with a landing force guarded by destroyers at Pontoon. The installation is being closed and the employees paid off. "The Chinese in the Hon cities are frightened and would leave in large numbers of transportation were available." SEEKING TO BAR NATIVE AFRICANS EVEN FROM ZOO Movement on Foot in Johannesburg to Deny Blacks Innocent Sunday Recreation — Dislike to Stand Near Them. Says Mary There is a Zoo in Johannesburg, South Africa, which the native Africans of that godless town apparently delight to visit on Sundays. And so "Natives of the Zoo" is the headline in the white daily papers, an earnest movement being on foot to prevent black men, women and children, the real owners of Johannesburg, from going there! Below are reproduced two of the many letters on the subject which fill the mail bag of the Editor of the Johannesburg Star. They speak for themselves: To the Editor of The Star: Sir—It was with sincere regret I read "Old Resident's" letter. I trust that many others like myself will enter their protest against the possibility of a great injustice to a native class who are unable to defend themselves. I live within a mile of the Zoo gates, and during my visits to this beautiful park, and my observation of the natives who go there. I have never at any time seen "bands of noisy kafras." Their quiet, orderly behavior has been a frequent source of admiration and satisfaction to me, and friends who have been with me. No far from obstructing our view of the animals in the cages, the natives have invariably and immediately on our approach stepped back quietly and unobtrusively, and that without any suggestion on the part of anyone that they should do so. They walk quietly from one part of the grounds to another, keeping to the footpaths. No attendant is required after their departure to pick up cigarette ends, greasy papers, fruit skins, etc., as is the case with a certain class of visitor. "Many of these 'boys' walk great distances for the pleasure of visiting the Zoo; they are keenly interested in the animals, and it would seem to me a crying shame if they should be barred from what to them is a very great privilege, and through no fault of their own. These remarks do not apply to the native nurse girls who take their small charges to these gardens and who might well take a lesson in good behavior from their brothers. I hardly think the Employment Bureau will sympathize with the 'Hobson's choice' of "Old Resident." With thousands of white folk out of work, it would seem an easy job to replace the uneducated, but willing native boys certainly for domestic purposes, the best servants I have ever had; and this remark applies to my experience in four countries. ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT. Sir—I have read with interest the letters in The Star regarding natives at the Zoo. I object to their presence there, as I dislike to stand near them at all, and I gave up going to the Zoo because of the crowds of them gathering there on a Sunday. Why not allow natives to visit the Zoo up to 10 a.m. on Sundays? The native, as a rule, is an early riser, and none should be allowed to enter the Zoo grounds after 9:30 a.m. must be out by 10 o'clock. MARY WALKER. [Very few native domestics are allowed Sunday morning off.] CATARRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY CATARRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY "Chaking Catarrch and Head Neises Left the First Day," Is the Amazing Statement of a Missouri Resident Hawking, spitting, choking Catarrch and gassing Athletics, was killed from Catarrch tremble needles in a streaked new hunter. "Now it is possible for those who suffer from this disease to be treated," he said. "One day's time with the WK Formula" is the amazing statement of one who has taken it seriously. "It is bringing you new health and freedom from dread Catarrch to thousands of people where everything the had failed. It was absolutely stopped the first day," says F. A. Rainer.

The Government is prepared to release him if he promises to go to Switzerland for his health and not to return to India till the Bengal Criminal Amendment Act expires three years hence. Gold Rush Is Started In Ancient Graveyard VIENNA. A small locality in the Burgeland district of Austria, near the Hungarian frontier, had a gold rush all its own a short time ago. Through an accident an ancient graveyard dating from the time of the migration of the races was discovered. The Oldenburg Museum began to excavate. Ancient gold vessels were found. When the farmers of the community heard of this they rushed to the scene and began to dig for gold, instead of for last year's cabbage. In the scramble for the likely places lights developed between the farmers until a large force of gendarmes was called to keep the gold fever down. Anyway, outside of a few more urns nothing much was found. "Lift" From Lynch State Leaves Negro Boy Stranded The Jersey City police are in a dilemma about "Curley" Williams, a 15-year-old Nezro boy, who Wednesday night was set adrift in that city by an auto-mobilist who had given him a lift from St. Petersburg, Fla. The police were in touch yesterday with "Curley's" relatives, but were promptly advised that there was not the price of "Curley's" fare back home among them, individually or collectively. "Curley" himself was penniless when his obliging host invited him to get out of the car at Jersey City. The police fed him and sent him to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children until some arrangement is made for his return home.

The money is donated regularly to charity, and quite a sum already has been given to several hospitals and homes. Negro Nationalism Making Headway in Union of So. Africa Dean of Johannesburg, Sensing Trouble, Warns Supercilious Whites That White History Books No Longer Deceive Black Men—Occupation of Their Heritage Challenged by Native Africans OPPRESSOR'S SAFETY HERETOFORE LAY IN LACK OF UNITY OF THE OPPRESSED Soos World-Wide Control of White Race Challenged, Clting Japan, China, India and Africa—Blacks Not Hated Because of Race but Because of Their Economic Condition In these columns of The Negro World is presented the point of view of a white South African churchman, or rather the point of view of a white churchman in South Africa, on the color question as it touches peoples other than African, and as it concerns the church. The views expressed are not new. Read Marcus Garvey's "Philosophy and Opinions." Read his poems written while in the Atlanta penitentiary, notably his "City Storm," and you find the same views expressed, only more aggressively and more blandly. The white gentleman whose views are given below is none other than the Very Rev. William Palmer, Dean of Johannesburg, South Africa, the home of the Negro-hating Hertzog, Premier of South Africa, with whom every black man worth his salt has a score to settle. The article is reproduced from the Johannesburg Star, a white daily, of March 24, in whose columns it appeared under the misleading headlines: CHURCH AND COLOR QUESTION Prejudice Declining, Says Dean Palmer The Dean of Johannesburg, the Very Rev. William Palmer, gave an address on the color question at the quarterly meeting of the Anglican Native and Colored Mission at Pretoria yesterday. Dealing with his subject on broad lines as opposed to parochial lines, the Dean said the difficulty South Africa was whenever people discussed the native they apt on to small issues. "The future of Christianity is usually associated with the iniquities of the kitchen boy," he said. Here in South Africa we were one of the storm centers of the world as far as the color question was concerned, and the Transvaal was the storm center of South Africa. During the last quarter of a century, however, there was no doubt that the world-wide control of the European had been challenged. Enlightened public opinion would no longer tolerate that the racial races of the world should be kept in subjection or exterminated. No longer would it be satisfied with the answer given in the old-fashioned geography and history books that a certain land had been "acquired;" and, secondly, it had been challenged by those races who were themselves concerned. Japan was challenging Western dominance. In China, too, there was a tremendous movement. India was demanding 'self-government, and in South Africa there was a pan-African movement. All the Bantu races were uniting and demanding certain things. Our safety up to the present had hain in the native's lack of unity. Today this was not true and there were indications that could not be ignored. Race Purity Dealing with racial antagonism, the Dean denied that it was instinctive. Few children were born with racial antagonism, but racial antagonism was very rapidly acquired: The desire to preserve the purity of our race was a very right desire; the best type of native had the same desire. In the heart of each one of us, black or white, was a horror of the half-caste, and that horror was in itself a very fine thing. There was also the economic and political side of the question, not only in South Africa, but everywhere. The sense of physical and mental superiority (continued on page 5) THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1927 other races of mankind, and if it has been so in these cases, so it will be in the case of Marcus Garvey." HEALTH The African National Congress is in full sympathy with the purposes of the Universal Improvement Association; so are most of the African newspapers published by Negroes in their interest, and so are all of the race organizations in Africa, who hope and are laboring for a better day for the Negro in Africa and in all lands. To arouse the African Negro in his home land to the necessity of compact organization and competent race leadership and the brave enunciation of the principle of self-government for the Negro, is of the utmost importance. It is a matter of education, education of all sorts looking to the desired end, in which civic and church organization and school and newspaper agitation, have their proper place, directed wisely and discreetly always, but fighting always for the main objective. Let us strive diligently to arouse the African in Africa to his own strength and vast interests, physical and spiritual, and the victory will come in due season. THE THREE FACTION WAR IN CHINA THE whole world is watching with interest the civil war in China, which has hitherto been divided between the leaders of North and South China. The South China faction has been split in twain on the question of Russian Communistic radicalism, which the thoughtful among the Chinese leaders consider a dangerous influence, and which has, nonetheless, had much restraining influence on the determination of the European Powers, which have been slow and cautious in dealing with the Chinese situation with the sternness they dealt with the Boxer Rebellion. They have been slow and cautious because they fear the power of the Russian Bear rather than the wrath of the Chinese Dragon. The main point is that the United States and the European Powers have been letting the Chinese fight out their domestic battles, as they have a right to do. The outcome should be helpful to the Chinese people and the ultimate development of a United Chinese people under their own Republican Government; the object the late Sum Yat Sen gave his long life of agitation and service to making possible. The Chinese Republic, his dream, should eventually come out of the warring faction fight in China. That is the hope of those who most wish the Chinese well. It is of the utmost importance that the sleeping Africans and Asiatics who are dominated and exploited by the European Powers, should wake up and learn how to fight, even if they have to learn it by fighting among themselves—the radicals who want to do so and go ahead against the conservatives who want to do nothing and stagnate and ultimately die the death. And Asia and Africa are waking up. Oppression is rousing them as nothing else could. China, East India, South Africa, North Africa—the fires are burning in them and bursting for outward expression, with efforts of it being shown in each of those divisions of mankind. Agitate, organize, fight—those are the signs by which the wronged and oppressed peoples must hope to be delivered from their agonies. RACE PREJUDICE IN ATHLETICS GIVEN A JOLT PHYSICAL culture and physical development go hand in hand, and are now regarded as an essential part of education as they were in the days when Greece gave letters and Rome gave law to the world. Indeed, it is possible that athletics as a part of physical culture never enjoyed such vogue in the ancient as in the modern world. It is doing much to strengthen the mental as well as the physical development of the people, as any casual observer can readily see for himself by regarding the new type of men and women now growing up among us as a part of us. The growth of professional sports has kept pace with that of amateur sports. They each have a distinctive and useful place in the life and well being of the people. Obviously enough, race and color prejudice should have no place in amateur or professional athletics; but, regrettably, it has. Indeed, it is now a fad in the Christian world to entertain race and color prejudice and to make a vulgar display of one or both in all sorts of places and ways. Instead of growing more tolerant of the opinions and the race and color of "the brethren," the disposition appears to be more exclusiveness and uppishness in the relations of every day life. Just why this should be so does not appear on the face of it, but it is so. The Mayor and Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans have just withdrawn an invitation extended to the National Amateur Athletic Union to hold its annual track and field championships in that city, because Negroes would be allowed, as usual, to take part in the sports. Secretary Frederick A. Rubien of the Union has been outspoken in condemnation of the action of the New Orleans bigots, and some of the best newspapers of the country have flayed them. Plenty other cities have come forward with invitations to hold the meeting in their cities. Indeed, the action of the New Orleans authorities has brought out the expression of a very general sentiment of condemnation, with the display of a broadness against such prejudices as to work for the destruction of it. Public sentiment is all powerful in most matters of law and sentiment, and when it condemns very generally intolerance in matters of race and color and religion and place of birth those who would make these decisive factors should sit up and take notice. Unfortunately, the white people of the Southern States do not appear to learn nor forget anything in dealing with their problem of race—not even when the Father of Waters rebukes them with a devastating flood, which they consider as a matter of course, but which is just the opposite of any such thing. But experience, even when manifested, teaches such sort nothing. More's the pity. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Negro World T.

THE DELUGE IN THE MISSISSIPPI STATES THE sympathies of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association go out instinctively and without qualification. ification to the people of the Mississippi Valley, many of whom are members of the Association, in the calamity through which they have been called to go, in the flooding of more than 9,000 square miles of country, and the loss of hundreds of lives and billions of money value. It was the worst and most devastating deluge of waters the people of the Mississippi River States have experienced, and they are used to an annual overflow of the Father of Waters. Thousands of people have been made homeless, and all of their property destroyed by the flood of waters, and these people will have to be cared for by the charity of the Nation during the coming year, as it will not be possible to plant and reap during the year as usual. The President of the United States has invoked the active sympathy and support of the people of the Nation of the organized and wisely directed agencies of relief, which have been enlisted in the relief, with the National Red Cross as the center of organization and direction of resources and efforts. When fire and water get out of control they make no distinction of race or condition, but victimize all sorts and conditions alike. If this lesson could be brought home to the unfortunate white people of the Mississippi States in their dealings with the Negro people, it would be better for them; but they are too blinded to see any such thing. Like Ephraim of old, they will continue to cling to their idols of race prejudice and injustice and invite the destructive waters of the Father of Waters. More's the pity. Human agencies and devices are very weak indeed in the face of fire and flood and earthquake, but they teach people nothing they should learn of the hidden spirit which "visits into the children the sins of the fathers." AS THE AFRICAN NEGRO SEES MR. GARVEY MANY have eyes to see and ears to hear but see not and hear not. They simply grope their way through the intricate mazes of life, not knowing from whence they started, nor whither they are going. The world is full of such people. We cannot say that they have not their uses, which we are not given to understand, except that they may be given as horrible examples from whom others may learn and profit. There are so many hidden meanings in the life of a given group, or community, that he is a brave and wise man who thinks he can analyze and define them all correctly and make others to see and understand them. The most numerous and unfortunate people are those who do not know their own social, civil and economic value, and how best to make use of them for their own advantage. Of such sort slaves, or servants, are made. The people who understand and labor earnestly and intelligently to know their own resources and to make the most of them for their own advantage are among the most happy and prosperous. Intelligent Negroes in Africa—African Negroes, if you please, as there are now very many African white persons, who think and act white—we are free to say, do not underrate the magnitude of the service Honorable Marcus Garvey has rendered the Negro people everywhere by creating the Universal Negro Improvement Association and declaring the supreme purpose of the Negro people to be "Africa for the Africans." The intelligent Negroes of Africa understand and appreciate the service Mr. Garvey has rendered the race, and are not slow in adopting his doctrine of organization and conservation of race interests of whatever sort for the benefit of the race. The readers of The Negro World of April 30 must have been enthused by reading the article, headed "Bantu Reminder to White World about Garvey," reprinted from Abantu Batho, a native newspapers, published in Johannesburg, South Africa, where the English and Dutch Africans, under the leadership of Premier Hertzog, are determined to reduce the Negro people of the Union to a condition of slavery, or what amounts to it. Our African contemporary, among other things, says: A truly and broadly virtuous character must be pure, strong, simple, quiet, hopeful, resolute, free, fearless, independent, altruistic, frank, generous sympathetic and sacrificial. In fact it must include, in general, the great mass of the individual virtues. No more time-server, policy worker or artful dodger, can be truly virtuous or Christian in character. No double-minded compromiser can possess real virtue—National Baptist Voice. "But the persecution, prosecution and imprisonment of Marcus Garvey are an indelible stigma of the growing sense of injustice of the European race towards all people of different color. 'Truth may be blamed, but never shall be shamed.' In less than ten years the preschments of Marcus Garvey have, politically and economically, morally and educationally, awakened the slumbering race consciousness of black, brown and yellow races to action, and no amount of diplomatic imperial intimidation will extinguish the burning fire of determination implanted in the become of terming millions of black, brown and yellow races of the globe. Imprisonment and exile of English Paska of Egypt, of McSwiney of Ireland, of Gandhi of India and many others have not killed the fire of determination of their races from achieving their right and legitimate aims of achieving their equal shares and taking their places along with The price of the mighty, the powerful, the influential, is self-denial; tireless effort; rebuffs and disappointments. The price of the idler is cause, idleness, procrastination.—Tampa Bulletin. The Negro race needs an increase in its numbers of THINKERS. It needs young men and young women who are persistent readers, investigators, searchers after knowledge. The number of the worthwhile libraries in the homes of the group should be swiftly increased and our south, the hope of the future, called from the streets, light and questionable entertainment and introduced to GOOD BOOKS, lots of them. They serve as stabilizers, bringing the experiences of thousands of years, with its successes and failures, to those who would know how to successfully deal with present-day and future problems and become an asset and contributor to the generation in which he lives.—Shreveport Sun.

ALICE ABBERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Keep Your Children Well Nourished Sometimes in the spring children grow tired of the diet they have had all winter. Like the rest of us, they want a change. They find the food they have been eating during the cold weather does not appeal to them when warm days come. They think they are not hungry and so, sometimes, they refuse to eat. Parents find it difficult to get their children to eat food which will give them proper nourishment. Too often mothers think children are tired from the strain of the winter and that, therefore, they need to give them a "spring tonic." It is far better to keep your child in good physical condition than to give him all kinds of fancy "tonics" to improve his health. If he seems more tired than he should toward the end of the day see that he gets plenty of sleep with his bedroom windows open wide. Hend him out in the sunlight and fresh air as much of the day as possible. Let him play outdoors after school. Above all, see that he is getting plenty of good nourishing food. Food is fuel for the human machine. It supplies heat and energy to the body and helps rebuild tissue. It is essential for everyone to get the proper amount of nourishing food. It is, perhaps, even more important for children to receive proper nourishment because they must obtain food for growth as well as for heat and energy. If your children tire of the cooked cereal you have been giving them for breakfast all winter, give them a change in the spring. If they refuse to eat any cereal give them poached eggs or milk toast, or some equally nourishing dish in place of cereal for a while. Change their diet, but be certain that they still get plenty of nourishment. Give them more fresh vegetables. Use creamed eggs on toast, or some new dish in place of hot soup for lunch. Be sure to give them a quart of milk a day in some form or another. You can give it to them in cocoa, custard, and other dishes, or allow them to have pure home-made chocolate milkhakes occasionally if they become tired of plain milk to drink. The Virtue of Self-Help The absolute and indispensable necessity of self-help as a factor in the equation of success is constantly being made evident even to the dullest intellect. In a letter to Dr. Emmett J. Scott in relations to the drive for an endowment for Harvard University, which was published in The Tribune of last week. Senator James Couzens of Michigan said: "So long as there is plenty of evidence that people are willing to help themselves, I am glad to do something to help them." The general education board has adopted the same policy. When one takes a little time to think of it, nothing could be more reasonable than this. How can an individual or a group, he helped unless they help themselves? Not only in matters of education but in all other matters this principle holds true. Benjamin Franklin said: "God helps them who help themselves." We know of no instance in which He ever helped any one else. Oliver Cromwell said: "Trust in God, but keep the powder dry." Cromwell was much given to prayer, but he insisted that something else must be added to more praying; that to prayer something of self-help and self-sufficiency must be added. Napoleon said: "God is on the side of the strongest battalions." Here we have an expression of the value of self-help reaching to the uttermost limits of self-sufficiency. Not only are the invisible powers fond of helping those who help themselves, but powerful and successful men have like disposition. If the Negro would help himself more, he would find friends in quarters where he least expects. He must cultivate the spirit of self-reliance, self-respect and self-development. The man or the group that can show capacity for self-control, self-direction and self-restraint is sure to be sought after. The helpless must be cared for and sheltered and protected; but only those who are capable of self-help can be assisted. To assist a man to help himself is not only natural and just; it is also an exhibition of true foresight. The man who helps himself in a broad and enlightened way is helping his fellow man to do the same thing. Self-help is not selfishness; it is rather a form of true altruism. The great task before the true leaders of the Negro race is to show the rank and file of the race what possibilities of self-help there is in them. They have all the material for the making of this quality; they need only to be assisted to develop it.-Washington Tribune. Nearly All of Us Crooks or Liars ARBURY PARK, N. J.-C. F.

Beauty is that skin deep so why not enjoy life by taking the pressure with a smile and the hard knuckles with a grin?—Western American. Liability—or An Asset? Will President Coolidge grant the fervent request of an oppressed race for the release of Marcus Garvey? It is my opinion that he will. Because of our confidence in him and our faith in African Nationalism it is natural for us to grow impatient where the freedom of our leader is concerned. But it must be borne in mind that the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey cannot be brushed aside without due consideration being given to its reaction on society and the race it affects. The inviolability of the rights of weaker peoples and defenseless minorities is one of the principles on which the greatness of American democracy is based. Marcus Garvey, in a sincere effort to perpetuate it, ran foul of the law—mere dollars and cents were incidentals, the founding of an African democracy to assist in the preservation of world peace and understanding with the inspiration which gave birth to the Black Star Line. President Coolidge and his race are aware of these truths and when, in the opinion of the Chief Executive, the psychological moment arrives for the release of Marcus Garvey, I am confident that there will be no hesitancy on his part. But it is for us who know him better than the President to hasten the freedom of the father of African Nationalism. Let so live and act that humanity might know without Garvey to lead and guide us the Negro is a liability rather than an asset to civilization.

While well-dispensed gathering—and I should be the last to decry it may not endeavour to invoke the apology of mitigating evils and of outlawing atrocities. Why not test the conscience in a practical demand for the applicable to the use of new agencies of Speaking before the American Society of International Law of which he is president, Charles Evans Hughes said: "It would seem to be clear that you cannot rely on declarations, or resolutions, or papers, to prevent war, unless back of all these is the triumph of the spirit of reasonableness among people who have ceased to think in terms of war; a habit of peace which will not be found while causes of strife still exist, the dreams of successful appeals to force for the vindication of injuries or the extension of power continue to fascinate, and nations are so intent on preparation for fighting that they find it impossible to agree upon any measures for the reduction or limitation of burdensome expenditures or armament. It would appear to be worthy of consideration that if there is not a sufficiently compelling human sentiment to induce agreement, if war should come, to mitigate unnecessary cruelties and to spare non-combatants from unrestrained violence, little progress has been made in cultivating the reasonable disposition by which war may be prevented. Never before have helpless peoples been menaced by such possibilities of widespread destruction. While well-disposed gatherings are calling for the outlawry of war—and I should be the last to decry any intelligent effort to prevent war—why not endeavour to invoke the spirit of reasonableness at least to the extent of mitigating evils and of outlawing unjustified assaults upon non-combatants. Why not test the conscience of peoples and the boasts of civilization in a practical demand for the statement and improvement of rules applicable to the use of new agencies of warfare? Not Counting the Cost Because 400,000,000 people of Africa "helpless people" these declarations authorities on internationalism, are Garvey voiced the same sentiment the future were too steep for the fore have helpless peoples been met destruction," says Mr. Hughes. Gas it will not sit idly by and permit its functions are to prepare that rays onshults of the common foe, and things African. The Negro doesn't is an absolute necessity. The Negro necessary for the preservation of people who make it their duty to him to kill while inspiring him to love everybody, by their conduct a while learning him to love. It will not be such an easy job to African blood. The white man may have a part, if not all of Africa. We are living in an age when battle only to steel rather than intimidate freedom far above death.

Garveyism serves not only by and permit a whole race to be to prepare that race to live, to repel the common foe, and to preserve the Negro doesn't want to kill anybody necessity. The Negro doesn't want to have the preservation of his liberty. They it their duty to educate the Negro, inspiring him to learn; and those who by their conduct and their civilization in to love. such an easy job to wipe out 400,000 the white man may as well make up not all of Africa—either this, or prepare age when battleships, machine gun than intimidate the manhood of the death.

Ireland has her DeValle Mahatma Gandhi, Egypt her Zagehe bank God, Africa has her Marcus Gar Because 400,000,000 people of African blood come under the heading of "helpless peoples" these declarations, coming from one of the most eminent authorities on internationalism, are of great significance to them. Marcus Garvey voiced the same sentiment years ago, but his vision and analysis of the future were too steep for the heaven-bound sons of Ham. "Never before have helpless peoples been menaced by such possibilities of widespread destruction," says Mr. Hughes. Garveyism serves notice on the world that it will not sit idly by and permit a whole race to be wantonly destroyed. Its functions are to prepare that race to live, to repel with all its might the onslaughts of the common foe, and, to preserve the rights of Africa and things African. The Negro doesn't want to kill anybody unless this recourse is an absolute necessity. The Negro doesn't want to hate anybody unless it is necessary for the preservation of his liberty. The tragedy is that some people who make it their duty to educate the Negro, unconscionally inspire him to kill while inspiring him to learn; and those who teach the Negro to love everybody, by their conduct and their civilization, teach him to hate while learning him to love. It will not be such an easy job to wipe out 400,000,000 helpless people of African blood. The white man may as well make up his mind to let them have a part, if not all of Africa—either this, or prepare for the inevitable. We are living in an age when battleships, machine guns and airplanes serve only to steel rather than intimidate the manhood of the Negro who values freedom far above death. There is no secret about it, the Negro, like other people, has made up his mind to share in the freedom and civilization of man even if he has to wade through an ocean of bayonets, an atmosphere of gas, or a sea of blood to taste thereof.

Unfortunately the original architects and town planners did not draw up careful designs for Angoran, so that the town is already assuming a struggling and far from symmetrical appearance.

A mother is the one being that should be nearest and dearest our hearts. This person we call mother ic ayr sacred jewel, it ie she who molds the manhood and womanhood of our race and nourishes and develops it ‘nto that stalwart character that stands for the highest in the de- velopment of the race to higher levels of civilized life. We therefore call upon the mothers of our group to bestir them- selves now for the future welfare of their race. ‘The condition that confronts our group today must be a deep concern to our mothers, for it is in the home where she reigns supreme. The mother's influ- ence for weal or woe is all-powerful, Our homes should not only be the birthplace uf all the highest and best influences for good, but they must be the very foundation of civilization. No civilization has ever risen higher than the standard of the home. It is not the professors and teachers ‘of schools, colleges and uni- versities that are to give our people. or to Africa, its consecrated leaders, endowed with undaunted spirits, inflexible tenacity of pur- pose, iron determination, farsightedness and fearlessness in the fight for the enthronement of the principles of right and justice. It is the influence of the home that must strengthen the standard-bearers, that must give to the race real warriors for freedom, worthy of being called men. Oh, that the mothers of our race might realize that Negro homes must become the greatest conservators of good, must be made the mainspring of virtue. Let our homes become the foundry where real men and women with a vision will be molded, who will leave an impress upon the character of the millions of their fellowmen and women, who shall follow them. Mothers, let your lives and consecrated labor furnish inspiration to the millions of your children that they may scatter blessings far down into succeeding centuries, As a race, Iet us not forget that the laws of a nation are but rescripts of its domestic codes.

God granted them wisdom that they may see and act now for posterity. The Universal Negro Improvement Association sends its sincere grectings to the mothers of our race. . Very sincerely yours. .

The effects of the changes are important and an appreciation of how the life and conduct of the average man, whether official or private citizen, are changing, enables one to bring the facts and the prospects of the political arena into perspective. The importance and difficulty of the greater problems need not be minimised, says a correspondent of the London Times. How nationalism is to achieve stability on a foundation of communalism, how integrity and truth are to drive out laxity in public life and how power in finance and administration is to be made compatible with irresponsibility for defense are problems of which no final solution is A REAL IN STORE DON'T FORGET that SECULAR CONCERT will be given LIBERTY HALL, N. on Tuesday Evening At 8:30 AT LIBERTY HALL, N.

It is not always, however, the best or most enduring plants in the seed bed which catch the eye in the early days of germination. The best friends of the Indian civil service in the past must admit that the subjunct "heaven born" was not altogether unmentioned. Coupled with great capacity and devotion there has been a good deal of sublime complacency. The impact of effective nonofficial criticism has had a very definite effect on this attitude. Further, conditions of the past imposed the extreme caution of the trustee in the expenditure of public funds. Now both vigilance and initiative can be exercised by representatives of the tax-payer. These changes are leading officials of all classes to a more progressive outlook. The public is now beginning to get what it thinks it would like; being perhaps out of the nursery, but certainly not out of the schoolroom, what it demands and often gets is not always what its official mentors think is best for it. Even Language Is Changing Language, too, is changing. The amazing fluency which the educated Indian acquires in English is almost proverbial, but what causes a shudder whenever one hears it is the way in which nowadays Indiana in conversation with each other interlard their own vernacular with English words. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1927 Young Chinese Nationalist At Liberty Hall Meeting (Continued from page 3) gathered, and they decided to hold a course, he said: a organization a men and we look to look to their dead, yet they rest and we want to we have a man they have stolen they know the secrets of Nature's Garden, with their secrets for relieving sickness.助 them.

One hopes that this hastard conversation is but a passing phase, but it is a sign of two things: the exotic nature of our system of education, which drives the Indian to use English words as the easiest way of expressing ideas not provided for in the very limited colloquial vocabulary of his home, and the back of a tunga trapea for India. The "Traders" who spring up the nettles in the agitated post-war years, had, most of them, to orate in English, sometimes from lack of, such education in any Indian language as would enable them to express with the desired fluency the policies which they advocated and sometimes owing to the poliglot character of their urban audiences. The Englishman, too, tends more and more to forsake the study of the vernaculars. No man who does not specialize in languages to the detriment of his general efficiency can do more than acquire colloquial fluency in the two or three vernaculars which the average career in the past required. Such knowledge is of little use for debates in council chamber and committee, and official business is transactions more and more with Indians who speak English for choice. What of these "leaders" of yesterday? They have tried their prentice hands; some still struggle to follow the limelight's shifting beams; others are realizing their own failure. The public, disillusioned of its own men, is turning again to the British official for the leadership it no doubt needs. The growth of the travel habit among Indians who can afford it is remarkable. Youths go abroad for study in greater number than ever before, but the important change is in the number who do not return till they have worked and traveled for some years in foreign lands, and in the number of older men who go to Europe partly for pleasure, but avowedly to gain in culture and experience. This is one of the most hopeful of modern changes. The traveled Indian returns with broadened mind and with tolerance where there was sectarianism. The new outlook does not always survive submergence in home environment, but the seed cannot but bear fruit. The educated Indian and more especially the traveled Indian, is demanding much more of his women folk. The tendency to aim at European standards of housing is mentioned below; this and the growth of club life and resort to European hotels is tending not necessarily to draw wives out of "purah" and, consequently, to stimulate advanced education and social intercourse among Indian ladies. Even in comparatively backward (in this sense) northern India, there are clubs for Indians which admit only those who bring their wives to participate in games and membership. This emergence from the "purah" is associated with a vastly improved upbringing of children. Brothers Meet After 62 Years' Separation TAMPA, Fla., April 8. Alexander Griffin, 82, of Hampton, Texas, and his brother, Jacob Griffin, 79, of Stone Mountain, Ga., met for the first time in sixty-two years yesterday under the shadow of a Confederate flag. They were two of five brothers who left their home in Brunswick, Ga., to fight for the Confederacy in 1861. Two were killed, Alexander heartstick over the defeat and devastation of the South, wandered off to Texas after peace had been declared. He had heard nothing from any member of his family since. He and Jacob each attended a Confederate reunion at Birmingham last year without learning that the other still lived. They left together last night for Macon, Ga., to visit the other surviving brother. The postage stamp had its origin in Great Britain on May 6, 1840, the United States entering the field in 1847 with stamps of five and ten-cent denominations, engraved with portraits of Franklin and Washington respectively.

If so, advertise it in the NEGRO WORLD AND GET QUICK RESULTS IN YOU FOR U (Continued from page 3) aroused, and they decided to hold a great demonstration, a parade, on May 20 in Shantung, on the one hand to hold a funeral for the member who was shot and on the other hand to protest against the economic exploitation in Shantung by the foreign factories and manufacturers. And as they were inarching through the British concession in Shantung, the British police opened fire and nine of them were shot dead and over forty fatally injured in that shooting. 1.00C Innocent Chinese Slaughtered "And then a similar incident happened last year. Two British steamers were sailed up the Yangtse River an inland river in China something like the Hudson River in this city and though it is China's own waterway, England has the right to sail both steamers and warships on that river at will. These steamers were sailing at such high speed that a number of the Chinese little boats were overturned and fourteen lives were lost and property. The Chinese people detained the English steamers at Weng Ten, an island down on this river pending settlement for damages. The gunboats immediately sailed for that town and bombarded that town, taking 1,000 lives. And some one told me that the Chinese people, or the Chinese Nationalist movement is purposefully, or unnecessarily, or recklessly anti-foreign. Friends, if you have suffered the same thing as the Chinese people have suffered under foreign domination I am sure you would be five times more anti-foreign than the Chinese people. China Truly Awakened "I am sorry I have to, but I must conclude now, and with this thought: The Chinese people have been awakened. Hereforethe Chinese people have been a peace-loving race and a peace-loving people attending to their own business and not interfering with anybody else's, but because of their love of peace, because of their lack of knowledge of the art of war, seventeen nations have gone to China and have recklessly exploited the Chinese people and nation and the Chinese people's sovereign rights have been wantonly taken advantage of. Three Ideals "This is the ideal—these are three fundamental ideals of the Nationalist movement: First, the people's livelihood. That is, in China the Chinese people believe the Nationalist movement is for every one no matter to what race he belongs. In China we have the Chinese race, part of the Negro race, the Mongolian and the Mohammedan races and some of the white race, but the Nationalist movement is for all no matter what race you belong. No matter what class of society, all are entitled to the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of a comfortable living as far removed from the starvation point as possible. (Applause.) "Second, the people's sovereignty, namely, the people themselves are entitled to elect representatives to the government; the people themselves must have the power to vote and the people themselves must have the right of referendum and recall; that no matter what race you belong to, what class or society, he is going to be given the power to vote and to hold office. "And then the third ideal of the Nationalist movement is this—the people's nationalism. That is, since China has owned the territory in China for centuries and since the Chinese people have been living in that territory for centuries, that the Chinese people are entitled to freely determine their own political destiny." 15 Years Ago—and Now "Friends, you must know that fifteen years ago the western powers made fun of the Nationalist movement. They said, what can you do? You can do nothing; you people do not know how to do things; you do not have the genius of organizing yourselves. They made fun of us, but today, friends, they have to stand by and listen to what the Chinese have to say. (Cloud applause.)" "Friends, I suspect that even today some people are sneering and making fun of your movement. But I can fairly predict, friends, that 25, or even 10 years from now, who make fun of you today will stand up and listen to you. (Applause.)" "Permit me to leave this thought with you; I believe from my personal religion and from my study of history that Almighty God intends to have all races and all nations to freely determine their own destiny. (Applause.) And do not let temporary or superficial disturbance or interference discontinue us from our supreme enterprise. (Applause.) And I like to see the day come when all the peoples and all the nations who aspire for freedom and liberty will unite together to enamulate themselves. (Applause.) And it is with great pleasure—and I feel privileged—that I leave my best wishes for success and my prayers and my sincere hopes for your success in your great endeavor. (Applause.)" HON. FRED. A.

Name Address State course, he said: "We have also in our organization a man like Dr. Sun Yat Sen and we look to him as the Chinese look to their leader. Though he is dead, yet they respect and honor him, and we want to say to Mr. Ming that we have a man that is not dead though they have stolen him away and placed him in prison, but wherever he may be tonight his spirit is leading us on and the same spirit that Dr. Sun Yat Sen has instilled in the Chinese youth Marcus Garvey has instilled in the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, and though we may appear weak today, and though some may poke fun at our organization and declare we are ignorant, the time is not far distant when the intelligentella, who choose to stand without the fold and criticize, will come running for shelter and protection. It was so with every great movement—the intelligentella hung back while the masses did the pioneering work. But we want to say that the more they decry our organization it only gives us impetus to carry on the fight for a free and redeemed Africa. (Applause). Just as the Chinese scattered all over the world are interested in China so are we all interested in China because China is seeking freedom, and our only regret is that we cannot send one million men to help China. For what is good for China is good for Africa, and the day will come when Africa, too, will be doing the same thing that China is doing today. "Mr. Ming, our hearts are with you; our sympathies are with China and we hope that by the power of Almighty God and the strong right arm of chinese youths China will reach the goal she seeks and emancipate herself" (Applause). MR. NOAH THOMPSON'S ADDRESS Mr. Noah D. Thompson, of Los Angeles, California, was the next speaker. After recalling his presence at previous international conventions to his hearers, he declared that he was as strong in the faith today as he was then, and it gave him very great pleasure to bring greetings from the Los Angeles division to the worthy people of Liberty Hall, New York. Mr. B. J. Spencer-Pitt, LL. B., of Halifax, Nova Scotia, next spoke. He bade the membership to continue to prosecute the great work with the aplidend zeal and enthusiasm they were evinced at the present time. The speech delivered that evening by Mr. Ming should give them further inspiration. He was struck by the earnestness of the young man, his grim determination, so plainly depicted in his face, to work unceasingly for the freedom and independence of his country, and Negro youths present might well take a leaf from his book. THE MEMORIAL . R. INGRAM. Inventor We wish to call your attention to the Combination Furniture Proof Tire, which we believe to be the greatest invention of the age on automobile tires, Samuel R. Ingram, inventor. They have been demonstrated before thousands of people by an automobile equipped with these tires running over nails driven in a board five inches apart and they proved one hundred percent. The first tires were put on the market in September, 1926. We also wish to call your attention to the great history of America. We are the first Negroes in America to incorporate a Tire Company and make tires. The inventor refused $250,000 for this invention before a tire was made, but he dedicated it to the race and it cannot be sold. We believe that all of our people who want to see factories in various states of the Union employing our girls and boys and manufacturing automobile tires, will help us to do this by subscribing for at least one share of stock a once. Because "I would like to stock in the Combination Puncture Proof Tire Co. at $2.50 per share," but say, "I did buy it." An ounce 47, Hamilton Grange P. O., N. Y.

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TRAINED ALONG RACE LINES LIFTING A BRIDGE IN DISTANT AFRICA It Weighs 910 Tons and Can Only Be Raised Ten Inches at a Time—1.389 Feet Long Nearly 2,000 miles from Cape Town, in the sweltering heat of northern Rhodesia, one of the biggest engineering feats ever attempted in Africa is in progress in the lifting of the Kafue railway bridge, which is 1,389 feet long and weighs 910 tons. The bridge, says the Bulawayo correspondent of the London Daily Mail, consists of thirteen spans and is one of the longest in Africa. With the aid of twenty-eight hydraulic Jacks, not two feet long, this huge bulk is gradually being lifted from its twenty-year-old foundations to make it immune from the annual threat of flooding by the sluggish waters of the Kafue. Traffic is allowed over the bridge when all is made secure after each successive lift. The total height the bridge is to be raised is five feet and each lift is of ten inches. When a lift is to be made the jacks are placed in position under the saddling girder, which joins the spans together. Each span is worked by two natives under the orders of a white man, there being other boys to do the jacking as the bridge ascends two inches at a time. As the bridge rises huge wooden wedges are inserted and under steady pressure pushed home, so that the weight is automatically taken off the jack. When each lift is completed a concrete block is swung into place on each pier and cemented into position. When completed the work of raising the bridge will have necessitated no fewer than 1,000 concrete blocks, 1,500 bags of cement and hundreds of feet of timber. The cost is $55,000. UNCTURE PROOF TI E NEGRO PEOPLE OF THE W of action is worth a ton of intention. This company has just taken over $15,000,000 worth of real estate in Mizpah. New Jersey, where we plan to build a factory costing approximately $15,000,000. We believe Mizpah is going to be one of the greatest towns for colored people in North Carolina, leading people in several states have bought property there, and it is only twenty miles from Atlantic City. We have also sold a lease to a company composed of colored people in North Carolina who are also planning to build a factory for the manufacture of these tires and they have started to buy their site for the same. The said lease means a company will cover five states namely: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The company feels sure they will pay dividends this year after the annual meeting which will coprove in September.

Rich native potentates who have luxurious tastes in motor cars invariably place their orders in England, says the London Daily Mail. A car that has just been completed for the Emir of Kano, one of the most powerful of the Nigerian chiefs, had, according to instructions, to look like a bird of paradise when traveling under the blue African sky. The use of black on any part of the car was forbidden on religious grounds. All difficulties were, however, overcome, and rarely has anything more gorgeous left a British factory than this dazzling vehicle. The chassis is a standard Crossley six-cylinder, with all parts brightly finished. The dashboard is of polished aluminium. The steering wheel and handle are blue. The springs are painted red, and the fuse carrier on the dashboard is of ivory. The body is striped with red and gold lines. The hood is more like a sun shade, and is a vivid green in color, and the interior is upholstered in blue leather. Even the engine, normally black, has been camouflaged with silver paint. In the dazzling sunshine of Africa the car traveling at high speed—and it is understood the Emir of Kano delights in speed—will certainly give some impression of a bird of many hues.

COOLIDGE BALK OF FILIPINOS A REAL INJUSTICE Washington Director of Philippine Commission Points Out Inconsistencies in Veto of Plebiscite Bill—People More Determined WASHINGTON. April 30.—President Coolidge's veto of the Philippines Independence Plebscite bill is commented on in a statement issued today by V. G. Gunan, director of the Washington office of the Philippine Commission of Independence. Declaring that the result of the veto is "to make the Filipinos more determined to work with even greater persistence and zeal for their freedom," the statement goes on: "It is alleged that the result of the plebiscite would have been unconvincing because the only question upon which the vote was to be taken was immediate and complete independence. In the first place, that being the official stand of those proposing the plebiscite—the leaders, the Legislature and the existing political parties—it, therefore, was the only question that could be logically submitted to referendum. "In the second place, the vote for immediate and complete independence would have been so overwhelming that the votes of the few favoring independence of varying degrees, were the form of the plebiscite more inclusive, would not have materially changed the final result." "But it is respectfully asked why wasn't the bill returned with the advice that the scope of the plebiscite has widened instead of completely denying it? "It is pointed out that the Philippines, economically, depend so much upon America through their free trade relationship with her that it would be folly for them to separate now and that these advantages are constantly increasing and will continue to increase with development of productive capacity." "Paradoxically as it may seem, this is the very reason why the Filipinos are asking for their independence now, for if we cannot now afford to foreign the financial advantages of free trade, it follows that it will be very much harder for us to do without them later when they will have increased a thou-standfield and will have trade of un-helperless, dependent upon the United States advantages, which admitly, times are beneficial while they last, but a tremendous handrail to a people starting anew when removed. Therefore, if independence is to be years BEAUTI In your SKIN full of blemishes? Does your FACE FADING? Are you ANNIHILATE to see TAN SKINNES, LIVER SKINNES, ROGEN SKINNES, BUM SKINNES?

"It is alleged that the Filipinos, while demanding, complete independence, expect protection from America, a mistaken allegation, for the Filipinos are willing and ready to assume all the responsibilities and burdens of nationhood. "Article X of the League requires members of name 'to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and political independence of all members of the League." It is only reasonable to expect that, like Cuba, Haiti, Nam and the Irish Free State, the Philippines once independent will be admitted to membership, which thus secures for her the protection that the League, which includes England and Japan, affords. Whatever may be the attitude of America toward the League, one cannot but admit that it is an instruction for world peace and justice and an asset especially to small nations. "The only condition required for the granting of independence, imposed not by the Philippines but by the American people throughout their constituted representatives, is the establishment of a stable government. This is the only issue, the only basis upon which the Philippine problem should be solved; we recognize no other because none has been imposed. "Where life and property are secure; where the Government is elected by the suffrages of the people, exercising that right peacefully and reasonably free from fraud and irregularity; where the expenses of Government are borne by the people; where peace and order reign—all of which are requisite for a stable Government, as defined in the public law and international relations of the United States, especially as applied by her in granting independence to Cuba—exist in a country as they do in the Philippines—certainly there is stability. "There is, therefore, no valid reason for delay in the concession of independence if one bears in mind always America's original policy and America's pledge which the Filipinos accepted in good faith." Long Skirts Worn At Swedish Court STOCKHOLM—No matter what Parts says, skirts will continue to be worn long by those received at the Swedish court. Like Queen Mary of England, Queen Victoria of Sweden consistently defies the decrees of fashion, and though she is seldom home, her wishes that skirts should not hang more than four inches from the floor are respected at official receptions. At other times Swedish women, even princesses, wear their skirts as short as they please. A chronic invalid most of her life, Queen Victoria usually wears only grays and light shades of white, sometimes set off with a light touch of red rose or lavender. She also sticks to short waists, and her waist line does not vary. Sport costumes last her ten years. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY. 7, 1927 An Author Compares It With That of Our Southern States—Can the Whites Carry Through Their Color Program in Africa? By T. S. STRIBLING In the Evening Post South Africa, in Mrs. Millin's pages, is a concave mirror hung up across the ocean, in which the Southern States of America can, behold themselves in enormous exaggeration. All the familiar Southern details are faithfully sketched into this brilliant national portrait of English South Africa; the Jim Crow laws, the political disfranchisement of the Negro, the personal antipathy of the white man for the black man coupled ironically with the possession of black women by white men; and the scorn of the fruit of these unions, the yellow man, for the pure blacks. Here is a sentence from the volume: "There is one thing about the black man the average South African cannot bear—to see him well dressed." The writer of this article met in Chicago a negro who bore knife wounds due to the crime of wearing a silk shirt in Texas. And the parallel traces itself deeper than these mere surface eruptions. South African politics focuses about the question of color. Behind every social initiative stands the huge porentious form of the black man. A political society called "The Bond" bears a resemblance to our K. K. K. except that it does not lynch, whip or burn disasters. Old as it may seem to Americans, the Boers, surrounded by millions of negroes, never burn one. They seem to lack American initiative, energy and sprightfulness of fancy. What makes it still more singular, the churches in the American South have through long patient years, been dispatching missionaries to Africa to scatter the blessings of civilization, and yet they never have been able to produce this authentic Southern reaction on that alien and sterile soil. One detail of Mrs. Millin's description sounded as homelike to the reviewer as hot biscuits and sorghum. I quote her: "The recently arrived Englishman or other European often sheds in Africa the ideal of fair treatment for the negroes which he holds in the country he came from. He catches the prevailing infection and at the same time his conduct is not qualified by experience or understanding. Thus in practice the Boer treats the native better than the Englishman." If the reader will substitute the word "Southerner" for "Boer" and "Tanker" for "Englishman," he will have an exact description of the reactions of thousands of Northern people who trek south in America. Some of the most violent "Southerners" south of the Smith and Wesson line are Northern men. However, the Southern States of America occupy an immensely more hopeful situation than do the Southern States of Africa, cheap black labor has not aspired the America South industrially and spiritually as it has the South in Africa. Here is Mrs. Millin's brief of the conditions obtaining there: A Kaffir will work on the farms at £1 a month—or for nothing. He will work where the white man ought to be working, and, worse still, he will work for the white man who ought to be working. . . . He deprives the white man first of the opportunity to work, then of the desire. Assume the desire is present, a white man cannot in South Africa work beside a black man, still less under a black man. A boy is leaving home. What shall he do? He cannot begin at the bottom of the social ladder. He cannot shoulder a burden, make a road or till the earth. He can study a profession, but the professions are crowded. Moreover, there is no laboring class to keep the social machine going full speed. The Kaffer wants only a few groceries and a suit of second-hand clothes. In South Africa there is not plenty of room at the top because the foundation is not strong enough to support a heavy upper story. Away from this degradation of labor the American South has happily struggled. Not many years ago every ambitious Southern youth in America could aspire only to the law, medicine or the ministry. At present the Mouth is swiftly becoming industrialized and a maze of technical demands offers employment for every temperament. But, Something About New York City's Famous City Hall The City Hall, which is one of the best examples of American architecture, has taken part in many of the notable national and local events in the last 115 years. When the cornerstone of the building was laid, May 28, 1603, New York was a city of 60,000 people huddled in below Chambers street. The building was finished nine years later and the ultimate cost was $538,734. In 1824 a fete was given at the City Hall in honor of the arrival of Lafayette and on October 26, 1865, the opening of the Erie Canal was celebrated there. During a celebration to mark the successful laying of the first Atlantic cable in 1858 the City Hall took fire and the cupola was damaged. The cupola again was damaged by fire on May 10, 1917, and was rebuilt later. The body of Abraham Lincoln lay in state for thirty hours in the city Hall and during that time more than 200,000 persons saw the dead President. Gen. Grant's body afterward lay there in state. Among the historic furniture in the City Hall is a mahogany desk on which Washington wrote his inaugural address. This and other pieces of furniture were used in the nation's first capitol, Federal Hall, which was at Wall and Nasau streets. Several famous paintings are found on the walls of building. Many important visitors in recent years, including the King of the Belgians, Queen Marie of Rumania and the Premiers of several European countries, have been officially received at the City Hall. In the building are found the offices of the Mayor and the President of the Board of Aldermen, the Board of Estimate and Government's rooms and the Aldermen Chamber. ALL BRITISH WOMEN TO GET THE VOTE LONDON. April 13. John Bull may be outvoted in the next general election by the women of his household. This prospect was created today by Premier Baldwin's announcement in the House of Commons that the Government will introduce a bill at the next session of Parliament, lowering the minimum voting age for women from thirty to twenty-one years. It is estimated 5,000,000 women will be enfranchised under the measure, and when the next general election comes around--normally, late in 1929--there will be 13,800,000 British women able to vote, compared to only about 11,800,000 men. The momentous declaration was made with seeming uneasiness by the Prime Minister this afternoon, following discussion of the franchise question by the Cabinet this morning. In low tone he informed the House of the Government's decision. It is reported Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill and Lord Hirkenhead, Secretary of State for India, opposed the plan. The announcement immediately became the political sensation of the day. The budget, introduced Monday by Chancellor Churchill, and the Government's much-discussed bill for regulating trade unions were forgotten as press and public started to discuss Britain's political future, with the balance of power in the hands of the women. There are now about 11,500,000 men and 5,000,000 women in the country entitled to vote, but it is unforeseen that the Government intends to remove all sex distinctions in voting. This would enfranchise about 2,000,000 women aged over thirty who now cannot vote on account of the special property qualifications required of women, giving women voters a majority over the men of about 2,000,000. Today's announcement is hailed by Suffragists as the final victory in a long campaign which started decem- only in the hoopskirt and crimson days of sixty years ago and staged a whirlwind finish during the last two months. ```markdown ``` If 1870. Millions is not an alarmist, South Africa is paralysed. As a corrective the South African Parliament has barred the natives from skilled labor. Since the root of their trouble is that their mass of black labor lacks purchasing power such a regulation makes South African damnation permanent. But the Negroes are merely one facet of the South African racial tangle. Great numbers of East Indians have been imported into the country as a somewhat more skillful cheap labor than the Negro, and now these coolies threaten to overrun the country. So serious is the threat that no Indian can own real estate. The Asiatic avoided this law for a while by taking mortgages on land; this, too, was estopped by the South African lawmakers, and now they resort to a white trusteeship. The plan has this danger: If the trustee selected by the Indian becomes insolvent, all the Indian's property is swept away. Reverting to the Negro, there is an interesting difference between the ways America and Africa deal with mul- blood. In America one drop of Negro blood makes a Negro. In Africa if a quadroon or an octopoon becomes white enough to pass muster in appearance as a white man, he is white for all social and political purposes. That is, he is received as white unless he parades his black relatives. This custom causes children to forwear parents, brother to deny brother, and all the intimate tragedies of such a demarkation. As a result of this social cleavage between Negroes and whites, there is in Africa the same class of "po" whites' which we have in the South. Mrs. Millin gives a brilliant definition for poor whites—they are "people who have fallen below the minimum dignity that, in a world of black folk, is demanded of a white skin." And then she analyzes how the children of the baronial Beer farmers must inevitably fall into this painful class and how impossible it is for them to recoup their lost estate. To drop the color question, which is of course, the point of deepest interest for Americans, Mrs. Millin herself writes brilliant English, as if she had dug sentences out of the Kimberley mines. Her mode of attack recalls quite strongly the writing of Corra Harris, except Mrs. Millin is kind, where Corra is spiteful. And mention of this brings out another queer resemblance between South Africa and Dixie. Apparently fiction is written in South Africa by women, Mrs. Millin's quotations suggest this. Before the new industrial rebellion in the old Confederate States, when the labor was almost solid Negro, the majority of writers of fiction the South produced were women. The reason is perhaps this: When the actual physical labor of a country is debased and desplaced, the white men are so close to it, and are so concerned in preserving the stability que, that they have not the detachment to see the tragedy and injustice of the situation. Woodman's Axe Hits Robin Hood's Haunts ROBIN HOOD, England, April 5. One of the baunts of Robin Hood is to be invaded by the woodman with his axe. Nearly 15,000 acres of hilly fastness in the heart of the Verbyshire Peak district, scenes of the legendary hero and his Meric Men, are to be sold at auction. Some of the grounds already have been plotted for building lots. The land at present belongs to the Duke of Hastings estate. The country where Robin Hood made his headquarters under a greenwood tree includes the portions of Hatherace where two upright stones mark the traditional burial place of Little John, faithful servant and companion of the romantic figure who was known as the finest of archers and the gentlest of robbers. Each New York Convert Costs Methodists $4,000 Four thousand dollars is the estimated cost of the Methodist Church for each new Christian made in the New York city district—the battleground for ministerial "supreme sacrifice." Conversion expense in the metropolitan area, announced by the Rev. D. Hough Houston in his report as superintendent of the 128th annual New York Methodist Conference, was in decided contrast to expenditure outside the metropolitan district. Each new Methodist made in the Newburgh section cost the church but $87, the Rev. James J. Henry, superintendent of the Newburgh district, said.

One of the outstanding events was the court given by Lady Vice-President Luton Felles, assisted by little Mrs. Judith Clark and Prof. Edwin Mills on March 12. Mrs. Felles is to be congratulated for a very creditable performance, her energy and earnest preparation. It is to be hoped more ladies will follow her example. On Wednesday, April 13, we hold our annual election. The most interesting item was the selection of a president to succeed Hes. Isaac Leahy who expressed a desire to retire. Mr. Leahy has served two terms during which time the membership has increased and the bumbling time has been tripled. He has been an honest, faithful and loyal leader, a trustee to the core he retains with the respect of the community at large. The division is fortunate, however, in its choice of Mr. Alfred Latter as president. A charter member. Mr. Potter has supported the organization from its inception. He has previously served as chairman of trustee board, president and delegate to convention. He is a prominent figure in the business circle and a staunch advocate of racial unity and upift. Latter has leadership Montreal expects to carry out its program of owning its Liberty Hall in 1927. Mr. Felix M. Mohammed was unanimously returned as executive secretary.

SAMUEL ALONZO CULMER Reporter CANNING-TOWN, ENGLAND A public mass meeting was held on March 11 at the above-named hall, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Commission League. The meeting was also well attended by a very large number of white people, who are in company and are taking a very kind interest in this organization and its leaders. The meeting opened in the usual manner with singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," followed by the chairman, Mr. J. Best, who gave a brief address and introduced a visitor from South Africa, Mr. J. Gimede, who was on his way back to South Africa after attending the Brussels conference. After Mr. A. Timothy read the "Tumble" and the "Aims and Objects" of the association, the chairman called on Mr. Gimede to address the meeting. Mr Gimede said he had arrived from the Brussels conference, where he was delegated as representative of the Natal African Congress to make protest against colonial oppression and imperialism. During Mr. Gimede's address he praised the Mt. Maracu Garvey's great work. The next speaker was Mr. A. Boucher, who gave a very inspiring address which received great applause. The next speaker was Mr. Agna, an Indian visitor from Ghendhi India. After a brief address he made an appeal to the Negroes in London to support the organization 100 percent. Mr. H. Hayley, a white supporter, gave a short address, which, with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem, brought the meeting to a close. JACKSONVILLE.

AKRON, OHIO There was a large mass meeting held at the Akron Division, No. 215 Friday evening, April 22. Honorable Levi Lord was principal speaker of the evening. He was introduced by President McLain of Akron Division. Mr. Lord's lecture was on the history and development of the U. N. L. A. Mr. Lord said that the U. N. L. A. is a movement of God and shall live on in the minds of the children. Mr. Lord said that he is not discouraged in the U. N. L. A., because others suffered for the cause of their country. So God has selected us to suffer for the cause of the Negro. Many say they have lost nothing in Africa, but God is, said in His word that the day is coming when every nation shall return to its own home and live under its own vine and fig tree. M.

The band played the Ethiopian National Anthem for the closing. The Cleveland Division held its regular mass meeting Sunday, April 24, at 2 p.m. The chaplain, Mr. A. G.

Baffour Williams, acting as president during the absence of the Hon. E. B. Knox, made the opening address. The day being Juveniles Day the children rendered their monthly program. Little Miss Elanie Neely president of the auxiliary, acted as mistress of ceremonies. During the period of six years' training under the supervision of Madam Maud E. Lawson the children have progressed wonderfully and most of them are able to choose their own subjects and compete with some of the adult speakers. Too much praise cannot be given them as to their ability. The girls looked beautiful in their uniforms. We are proud to report that their numbers are increasing. The program was greatly enjoyed by all who were present. The most brilliant speakers of the occasion were the Misses Lillian Lillian Roxie Solution and Jessie Mae Reed. A pledged group, led by their captain, Henry Brooks, J. gave an exhibition drill after which the mistress of ceremonies made a few inspiring remarks and returned the gavel to the acting president, Mrs. H.

Division is again on the main alongside the rest of the divisions. On Sunday, April 5 Garvey Day was celebrated in this division. Although the gathering was not so large, the enthusiasm which was shown by the members and visitors is a true sign that Garveyism has come to stay. In the absence of the president, Mr. Jacob Scott, the meeting was presided over by the secretary, Mr. S. C. Sinchlair. Bro. Samuel Graham in a very forceful manner spoke on the U. N. J. A. as the only salvation for the Negro race. Sister Alena Bartley gave an encouraging address. Sister Susan Graham also gave a short address. She said we must try our best not to let the new flag fall, so that when the Hon. Marcus Garvey returns to us he may find it flying in the air.

JAMAICA Our general elections came off on March 3, 1927. There was a good attendance. The elections were conducted by the Commissioner himself who occupied the chair, and ably conducted the proceedings. Before entering upon the business of the evening, Mr. Alken, the retiring treasurer, and acting president of the Spanish Town Division, was asked to give a verbal report of the recent conference of delegates at Port Antonio, which was listened to with great attention. He said that the divisions had been well represented and that some good work had been done. Among the many matters dealt with, was the decision to send a petition to the President of the U. S. through the U. S. Attorney General praying for the speedy release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Propiganda was one of the subjects discussed, and a small paper to be called "The Liberator" would shortly be issued under the direction of Mr. A. J. Leesone. A motion of praise was also introduced by Mr. Alken to be sent to the Hon. D. T. Wint, member of St. Ann, for his stand taken with regard to Bishop De Cartaret's statements about Jamiede Negroes. The conference was voted the best yet held, and Mr. Alken was heartily thanked and applauded for the full and clear account he gave of it. The chairman announced the elec- tive positions vacant, and made a strong personal appeal to the members to elect the right men to help him direct the affairs of the division, and thanked those who were retiring for what assistance they had afforded him during their term of office. Nominations were made freely, and there were some spirted contests with good will and good sense prevailing throughout the meeting. The result of the elec- tions was as follows: S. M. Jones, president; A. J. Leecee, ex-secretary; I. C. Fraser, treasurer; P. A. Aiken, chairman-trustee; Phillip Mitchell, trustee; Alex. Sterling, trustee; U. Leo Grant, trustee; Chas D.

CONN. Sunday, April 10, 1927, the New Haven Division of the U. N. L. A. held a mass meeting at Masonic Hall, 76 Webster Street. Mr. Joseph Ward, our president, called the meeting to order by singing "From Greenlands Ley Mountains," followed with prayer by our chaplain, Mr. James Allop. At this point the Hon. Marcus Garvey's message in the Negro World was read by our general secretary, Mr. Charles H. Mills. The program from this point until the close of the meeting was as follows: A short address by our chaplain, Mr. James Allop, after which the hymn "He Leadeth Me" was sung by the audience. The next speaker on the program was Mr. Samuel Tyson, subject, "Progress." Mr. Mills, our general secretary, then read the Hon. Marcus Garvey's message in the Negro World. Continuing the program was a very interesting, and inspiring speech delivered by Mr. William H. Banks of Suffolk, Virginia, who chose for his subject, "The Drama of Life As I See It." Mr. Banks ended his speech by explaining his ideas of the meaning of the colors of our flag namely: The red stands for the blood that will be shed upon the green fields of Africa for the black sons and daughters of Africa. The last speaker of the evening were: Mr. Rufus Lawrins, subject, "Leadership," and Mr. Henry E. James, second vice-president. The meeting was brought to a close with singing "Ethiopia," and beheaded by our chaplain, Mr. James Allsop. MISS ESTELLE SKINNER. Reporter.

It simply was impossible to look as attractive as my friends. I was not popular with the men. I tried most everything and it seemed nothing could help me. My! How wonderful that preparation is! Do you know that after using only five boxes, my hair has a beautiful married wave and a pretty gloss? Now I know why the show people use Queen. Everyone who sees my hair asks me what I am using and I am proud to tell them Queen Dressing! Just send Zac in stamps to the Newbro Mfg. Co., NJ Newbro Bldg.

Los miembros de esta organización estaran de enhorabuena al tener conocimiento de que el Hon. Marcus Garvey ha sido dado de alta en el hospital de la prisión de Atlanta, donde se hallaba padeciendo de un ataque de grippe y asma. Durante su enfermedad perdió mucho de su vigor físico, pero ya se halla en convalecencia y en camino de un rápido restablecimiento. Su remarcable tenacidad y perseverancia, sinembargo, permanecen inculnerables en su ser, según lo deja manifestado en el breve mensaje que a continuación publicamos. dirijido éste a sus adeptos y admiradores en el universo entero. Una personalidad activa y determinada como la de nuestro presidente general, es mas que necessaria para sufir con paciencia los rigores en el pequeño circulo de las cuatro paredes de su prisión. Su amor, su espíritu, su fe en si mismo y en la causa que tan noblemente defiende, son invencibles por los sinsabores del medio ambiente en que la intriga y la envidia le han colocado. El Hon. Marcus Garvey escribe: "El perverso tendrá incuestionablemente su juicio final; tal'crencia alienta mi resignación en el cumplimiento de la condena que me ha sido impuesta. Por doquiera aparecen ante mi vista las manifestaciones del advenimiento de un gran dia; y en nada me preocupa, por lo tanto, todo aquello que los irresponsables puedan poner en práctica.

Cuantos de nosotros procedemos de identica manera?

La educación puede definirse como practica cuando ella enseña al individuo a sacar el mejor partido de su talento, construyendo una base para si mismo, para su familia o para sus senjantes en la época en que viviera. Luchar para conseguir cato dentro de la línea de menos resistencia, trae a menudo el fracaso del objeto principal, porque la terminación de la obra, perfección o es regocijo que sentimos después de haber ganado nuestra victoria, se adquiere principiamente por medio de una incesante aspiración y por una lucha tenaz, para conseguir el objeto que no proponemos.

Esta es una pregunta muy razonable y muchos pensadores tratando esta encuesta, darian varias contestaciones difriendo en su mayoría las unas de las otras. He aquí alguina explicación del misterio del hombre, que es de lo más importante que hemos de tratar, aunque el misterio de Dios haya sido colocado a la vanguardia de todas las edades, según rezan los records ya condescendos, como propósito de confusión toda vez que nosotros no nos encontramos frente a ese misterio y tratos de resolver el del hombre, en la imagen de quien al principio del mundo dijo: "Hágase el hombre fiel a nuestra propia imagen ya seaaron o hembra." Dice la historia que el gran niosofo Diogenes, iba por las calles de Syracuse en pleno dia con una linterna encendida, y al preguntarle uno de los vecinos creyendo falto de sus facultades mentales, cual era la idea de su linterna, arrugamente Diogenes contesto: "Busco a un hombre honrado." El interlocutor no se detuvo a discutir el asunto. Le otro modo el hubierse increre- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2017 modo y manera de como sigue el mundo. Muy pocos entienden y nunca acaban de lamentarse de la oposición y dificultades que tienen que contrarrestar, en lugar de luchar con abnegación para llegar al triunfo. Los superhombres de nuestro tiempos tales como son Sun Yat Sen, Mahatma Gandhi, Benito Mussolini y Marcus Garvey son clarividentes; obtienen la visión de los acontecimientos primero, y luego dominan la educación que necesitan para realizar sus propositos. Hombres como estos van al éxito donde los demas creeen que fracturen. Ellos riegan la semilla no no siempre viven lo bastante, para disfrutar de los beneficios de la siembra; ellos llegan al Jordan como Moises, pero no siempre tienen el placer de cruzar a la margen opuesta. Lo que necesita el negro en todas partes es una educación practica, y la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha pla neado darle una educación semejante en la Universidad Liberty, situada en Claremont, estado de Virginia; una educación que le enseña a conocerse a si mismo y propi mate valorar sus recursos sociales civicos y económicos. Cuando el conozca todo esto, la voluntad le será mas facil. Antes de la guerra mundial los alemanes constituian el pueblo mejor educado; pueblo especializado que no solamente impuso su literatura, su arte y su ciencia aplicadas al practicismo de la era, sino que cultivo una filosofia suya y llegó al colmo de la industria productiva. Si fueron mas alla en sus ambiciones y centuplicaron sus energías en el esfuerzo de conquistar a otros menos preparados que ellos, menos listos, hicieron otra cosa que seguir los pasos de los babilonios, de los griegos y los romanos, quienes se traslimitaron exponiendo los recursos de que disponian, perdiendo todo en la conquista. El mundo antiguo fue sinómino en su cultura en Egipto, la madre de la literatura, de las artes y de la ciencia, y esta gran nacimiento hubiese subsistido hasta presente, al haberse conformado a gozar de sus esplendidos recursión propios, en lugar de ir a buscar la conquista de los otros y robarle de aquello que legitimamente les pertenencia. La disposición de acaparar la posición de los otros existió mucho tiempo ha, antes de ser proclamada como un vicio en la tala de los diez mandamientos. Mas el hombre aprende algo con la experiencia. Si el poderoso necesita un algo, sale y lo adquiere con razon sin sin ella; pero al fin y a la postre sus mados actos son siempre castigados. Las naciones cristianas estan cayendo en la trampa de desear lo que otros posean, haciendo ast un embrolo temible de la herencia transferi尔德os por la palabra de Pablo, el jefe de los apostoles, a los gentiles de Japhet. La educación práctica que el negro necesita le enseñara a conocerse a si mismo y a darse cuenta de su poder, para que pueda usarlo de la mejor manera para si propio y no a ventaja de los demas. La raza blanca se ha aprendido esta The Discoverer None of us will ever be quite big enough, grand enough, experienced enough, in those deathless qualities of sundime courage, faith and pure patience to fully understand all that Columbus went through in his mind and heart on his way to discover a new world. And Peary on his last lap toward the North Pole—will anyone ever know adequately his feelings which were the culmination of a quarter of a century of bitter discouragement and intrepid belief? The discoverer counts not upon himself. He is a victory of soul all along the way, whether he wins his goal or not. Even in the little daily happenings of life, he who searches, who forgets himself in some happy hunt, is not such a human being as inspired example, an illuminated spectacle drawing many a discouraged and faint-hearted one his way? Take the person with a hobby, for instance, he completely loses himself in his everlasting search for the thing he most desires. And when upon discovery his little dream comes true, what a stimulated human being you have! Truly is that one most useful who is able to inspire in others a desire for search into the innermost recesses of their own nature. For only as we grow in this ability are we able to understand and appreciate the lavish gifts of life all about us. That thrill that comes with the first beautiful note of the returned congler of spring, or the breaking buds, or the odor of April showers, is but a rebound from what already has been discovered through meditation upon the hidden beauties of our own nature that requires the touch of Gods outside creations to make us appreciate all beauty. The discoverer is the real owner of all wealth and beauty. lección y esta conquistándolo todo. Pro cuando ella abusa de las condiciones y destruye el crédito de que debiera gozar, se desconcierta y todo queda destruido en el proceso de la noche, siendo este proceso la fuerza, insistentes y persistentes de todo periodo evolutivo. Incitemos al negro para que se asegue de la educación que necesita, y la Universidad Liberty en las riberas del rio Janis, es el sitio más adecuado, para que los miembros de esta organización y de la raza en general, han su mejor esfuerzo y mantengan en actividad tal empfole.

Kaiser's Bath for King Changed Course of History When King Leopold of Belgium visited Berlin late in the nineteenth century Kaiser Wilhelm was eager to make a friend of the Belgian monarch, so he had a special both provided for the visitor in the Unter den Linden Palace. The heating arrangements, however, were somewhat crude, says the Detroit News. Gas jets were fitted under the bath itself. King Leopold entered the bath incautiously and left it with great expedition, for it was scandling hot. When he left Berlin later he felt a moral as well as a physical soreness, and it is said the antipathy he conceived for Germany and all things German provoked fatal to a scheme that had it matured, might have changed the course of European history. Registration of motor vehicles in the United States in 1926 totaled 22,273,643, an increase of 2,014,615 over 1925. New York holds first place, California second and Ohio third. Nevada has the fewest cars—23,999. The United States food bill shows an annual retail value of between eighteen and twenty-two billion dollars. More than 43.1 percent of the average workingman's family budget is expended on food. Magazine Section Mr. J. A. Rogers, Well-Known Author and Journalist, Describes Incidents of Travel On Tour of European Lands Written for The Negro World Ey J. A. ROERS 1 RABAT, Morocco.—This city, north of Casablanca, is more characteristically Moroccan, being very old, one may say twenty or twenty-five centuries, at least a thousand years before the English-speaking peoples come on the scene. It is, or was, a walled town, with richly carved gateways; pictureque stone owers, eaten with time; rules of what was once a great mosque (pronounced mon-kay) or church, beautiful gardens, white houses, strangely clad natives, moving mysteriously about—colorful, romantic, the Arabian Night's Entertainment come to life. One sees, for instance, many of the great stone jars like that in which Morgiana poured the boiling oil on the Forty Thieves. It is here that the present Sultan makes his home. I had the good fortune to see him on his way to midday service. Enough to say that in the south he would have to do much explaining to keep out of the Jim-crow car. This much is settled for me: the racial composition of these people, who were at one time the leading power in Europe. They are what we call in America, mulatto. Many are undoubtedly white, just as others are of the deepest shade of black, one can imagine. This mixing has been going on for thousands and thousands of years. Occasionally one glimpse an Arab lad, who reminds him treastfully of King Tut, not as one sees him colored in America, but as one sees his pictures in the windows of the French shops here. The present Sultan is only a figurehead, like the present president of Haytiy. The real ruler is the French governor, Marcelé Lyautey, and this is his headquarters. To the east of this city is Fez, the intellectual capital of Morocco, the centre of Moorish art, literature and music. Fez will be of special interest to Negroes in that it was the birthplace of Leo Africanus, a Negro whose book, "History and Description of Africa," was the standard authority on that continent for more than three hundred years. Leo, whose African names I have forgotten, was captured by a party of European slavers and was being taken to Spain to be sold there, when the ship was captured by the Genoese. Leo's learning so delighted Pope Leo X that he became his Christian godfather, gave him his own name and became his patron. The single copy of this book I have ever seen was owned by Arthur Schomburg, and perhaps may be seen in his famous collection in New York City. Of these Negroid peoples, who were once a power on three continents, I shall have more to say when I write of Gibraltar and Southern Spain. People and their customs are usually more interesting than places, and I will tell some more of the former, such as I have seen them and have learned them from the reliable sources, native and European. Polygamy prevails and harms abound. The Koran, or native Bible, permits only four wives, but I am told that each keeps as many wives as he can feed, which is the chief expenditure. Furniture in an Arab home is almost absent. The color of these wives is from white to black, or vice versa, which you will. There is no color-line, even in the French quarter, where natives, of all colors, may be seen, in the best cafes, quite unlike the treatment accorded the natives in British Africa. I am referring now to what I have read in British governmental reports. In addition to the wives there are concubines, as in the Southern States, and if a slave-woman, white or black, has a child for the master, it shares equally with the legitimate ones, and has the same political and social privileges, just as in Bible days. Jacob's children, by the slaves of his two wives, helped to form the Twelve Tribes. The last Sultan, it will be recalled, had some 300 wives, which proved so many white elephants on his hand, when he was ousted. Women marry at twelve, which is also the age of consent in one or two Southern States, of which Virginia is one. I am pretty sure. They ripen early, and by twenty-five most of their remarkable beauty of face and figure is gone. Still, in the case of a good many of the women this makes little difference to the onlooker, as most of GREAT MASS MEETING AT TURNER HALL 1448 Sherman Street, Detroit, under the auspices of THE DETROIT, MICH., DIVISION OF THE U.

General Admission, 50c. the ladies, stout or thin, all look like so many walking barrels from the neck downward. Swathed in white garments, which seemed to be puffed out somewhere in the middle, one sees only their kohl-stained eyes, and part blackened, part crimsoned heels, same stockings. The competition between woman and woman in the matter of shape and style of dress, is reduced to its minimum. Women's styles haven't changed since the days of Mary Magdalene. Certainly those good folk, who protest against the shortening of skirts ought to be at home here, but on the other hand they are likely to see some sights among the women of the very poor that would send them scurrying back. The orthodox Arab is quite as disdustful of his women folk as those Southern legislators who pass laws prohibiting their women folk being attended by Negro barbers, a fact which serves but to increase the intrigue which I have been told goes on in the harems. This loubouy is a sort of sex worship, which centers in the first of the male, himself, for us in the South, woman is regarded at best as a grown-up child—a fact true of all primitive and backyard people. When I expressed my surprise at polygamy to an Arab, telling him that it was about all that many Americans could do to get along with one wife, he said that that was where Western were all wrong, for when a man had one wife she squirreled with him, when he had several they quarreled among themselves. The poorer mothers carry their children tied to their backs, Indian fashion. I saw one woman with three, one at her back, another seated around the back of her neck, while she nursed a third as she walked along. Her Possum certainly had nothing on her. Havery, domestic slavery, at all exists, although the sale of slaves is no longer permitted in the markets by the French. I understand it is quite different from American Negro slavery, or even peonage in the South, however. Some years ago I recall reading of an American consul here, named Holt, who said it was his duty once to free four slaves—two white, two black—the property of a deceased American citizen, who had turned Mohammedan. Slave here, as I understand it, is a sort of refuge for some of the very poor, just as Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans and Hollanders used to sell themselves into servitude in the American colonies. Religion The great dictator of all life, all movement, among the natives is the Koran. To this fact must be attributed largely the extreme backwardness and squander, generally speaking, of the native. For Morocco is rich in minerals, grain, cattle, sheep and hides, and the French are developing these and preserving. Here is a book, part written, part compiled, by Mahomet more than fifteen hundred years ago, and it is the arbiter of all action, just as if the world had stood still in the meantime. The average Moor is very superstitious, very dirty, very hospitable, very religious. He is a firm believer in djinns, or cell spirits, and often will not plow the soil deep lest he disturb the djinnoa said to reside there. Modern doctors would starve among them. Again, the Koran is regarded as the best remedy against all ills. The native doctor repeats a verse from this bible, copies it and pastes it on the afflicted part. If there is a cure—well, it is Kismet; that, in God's will; if there is none, it is also Kismet. A sort of Christian Science. Quite simple: For a pain in the chest one is also likely to get a severe wallop in that region; for a bachache the doctor wallis BY RELIABLE CORRESPONDENT Address: Negro World Office 142 West 130th St., New York, N. Y. over you; for a technique he spells on the tooth, and for other phlegm, the scraping of the horn of a rhinoceros, etc. Verily, one sees to the full the truth of Marx's saying, "Religion is the opium of the people." It happens to be the Modern religions this time. But let not Christians forget that Europe was in a similar plight when all things centered around the Bible and before science came into its own, all at a time when these Muslims were giving Europe one of its finest cultures. Let the anti-evolutionists and their ilk, which abound in the darkest America, the South, and America, with all its splendid comforts and convictions would eventually drift to this level. For the psychologic effect on any people whose life centers around any holy book is the same. Long-winded prayers, wishes, hallucinations, usually take the place of work, the one and only way by which humanity gets anywhere. I can well recall a little colored preacher I once heard denouncing science to his stock by electric light and in a church built by modern science. Education of the children is largely confined to reciting passages from the Koran, and one can hear then droming the words like so many bees in their tiny schools. Many of the rich Moors send their children to be educated in Europe. The only race prejudice is against the Jews, who both native and French will tell you are bitter than the Arab. If not bitter than the Arab, the Jews are certainly no cleaner, and just as full of sores. Nevertheless, the Jews are great business people, and some are quite prosperous, a fact to which must be attributed much of the feeling against them. The majority as are dark or darker than mulattoes, and live in a quarter called the Mellah. There is ever so much more that could be said, as about the camels, the Riffs, the churches, but I will finish as I began by saying that being here is an unforgettable experience in practical sociology. Franklin Began Fight For Freedom of Press The fight for liberty of the press in America was started by the New England Courant, established by James Franklin, elder brother of Benjamin, at Boston in 1721. The Courant was from its start an "opposition" newspaper, the first in the colonies, according to Dr. W. G. Bleyer of the University of Wisconsin, who discovered the only exlating file, so far as is known, of the first sixteen numbers of the paper, in the British Museum at London, says the Detroit News. Notations on the margin of the paper indicate that the file was originally the property of Benjamin Franklin, who worked for a time as a printer in his brothers' shop, and who was listed as the publisher of the paper after James had been imprisoned and forbidden to publish the Courant longer because of attacks on the Puritan ruling powers in Massachusetts. The first four issues of the Courant were largely taken up with the discussion of inoculation for smallpox. Inoculation was favored by the Puritan leaders and opposed by certain physicians and leaders of the Church of England faction in Massachusetts. From the point of view of the development of journalism the Courant is significant as the first American paper to question the authority of the church in matters of everyday life. STOP WORRY!

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Chinese Revolution London for Negro To the Editor of The Negro World: That the hand of God is writing on the wall there can be no mistake whatever, for the writing on the wall of China is not only clear, but should be read and understood by every Negro whose mind is sound and whose vista is not handicapped by a pair of wooden spectacles. It is said that blood is thicker than water. How true this is may be gauged after a moment's consideration of the fact that swords of France, Italy, Serbia, Bulgaria, Russia, England and the whole of Europe are sharpened to a desperate point in preparation for the removal of each other's heads at the sound of a trumpet. Yet in the midst of all this continual hate and strife the white race in a single moment, as though by magic finds itself linked together in a united though fruitful effort in further strangle and ultimately exterminate the five hundred and twelve million Chinese who have just begun to pull themselves together after a long and disastrous slumber with the cry of "China for the Chinese." Some of our "intellectual giants" may suggest that the present struggle of the Chinese against this unpleasant avalanche of white supremacy led by British, French and Italian imperialism and militarism has nothing to do with the Negro, but the brazing of a Jacksaw would be of more importance to the Negro than such a statement. A defeat of the Canteenese by British imperialism would not only be a defeat of the Chinese, but would mean also the temporary defeat of national aspirations of both India and Africa six hundred million of whose people have just begun to realize the difference between the attitude of the sheep and the wool on its skin and the danger with which they are confronted while a victory which is inevitable for the cause of the Canteenese which is identical with our own cause, as outlined by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League would not only be a moral benefit to the Indians and Africans, but would also mark the beginning of the end of a long and suc- With Luck and Love You Are Powerful PROF.

Ret God is not mocked, and in its intended effort to advance beyond the crescented time of western civilization shall undoubtedly heat its swords into plowshares and its rods into pruning books. Couper has well said that "God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform." Yes, the hand of God is writing on the wall, and even though a bolt but ultimately effort was made to blimph the eyes of the African race by the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey, the Negroes of the world should read alight the writing thereof. It is asking for less Du Boise, less regals and less Christian generals, and more Gandhi, more Eugene Chess and more Marcus Garvey. God, of course, always gets what he wants, person harsens to the contrary notwithstanding. That the habits, customs, and mounts of the white man are bad, there is no doubt, but in his dealings with the darker races of the world, it cannot be disputed that there are some good points about bla that ought to be emulated by the Negro people of the world. The present attitude of the European nations and this country which of course, must protect its few nationalists with its great military and naval forces against the Chinese should be an lesson to the black man. Will we ever learn the art of putting inside group hatred, individual disrespect, rivalry and petty jealousy at a time when the race collectively is threatened with its greatest danger? In spite of "Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves," and her great and powerful military and aerial forces, it is obvious that England, the "strongest white nation on earth," does not hope to prolong her subjugation and oppression of the Chinese unless she gets the united aid of the white race, which she is dragging in with her well-known propaganda and diplomacy. So, too, if the Negro people of the world are to escape the coming avalanche of western imperialism and militarism now manifesting itself in China in the form of shots and shells and enjoy freedom and independence, this can be brought about only through our whole-hearted and united effort in a spiritually founded organization such as the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, and in honest, able, capable and bold leader such as Marcus Garvey with the cry of "Africa for the Africans at home New York, N.Y. J. MILTON BATSON. Hard Work and Great Persistence Will Win To the Editor of The Negro World: One of the greatest causes for failure in life is displacement. It occurs to be part of life for every man to be up one day and down the next. When a man gets up it is possible for him to stay up by hard work and persistence, but it he allows himself to go down he may consider himself altogether down and out. Omission does not mean that you will not succeed, because, struggle as we may, we must meet omission and look it squarely in the fact. But he be not frightened of it, take hold of it by the fore part of the neck and compel it to work for you. The lessons learned during the struggle toward prosperity and the ups and downs of the track are valuable and stand for knowledge. When a driver has gone over a bad road once he knows the rocks portions and can avoid them when going over it again it is human to make mistakes. In fact it is provable "It is human to err" knowing this to be nonavoidable, why complain to be discouraged. Follow the example of a small child who falls and picks himself up over THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1927 and over again. By and by he can walk without falling down. Remember this: Every dark cloud has a silver lining. You see the dark side, but if you make your way around the other side you will see the sun shining. Beethoven, let us renew our determination in the flight for freedom and liberty. I call upon you, sons and daughters of Ethiopia, to acquit yourselves as men and women. For the battle is not to the strong, nor the race to the swift, but he that endures to the end. Let not our enemies think that because the Hon. Mareus Carvey is in prison that the cry of Africa for the Africans is hounded, for he has lit a light that shall not be put out, but each succeeding generation will catch the lighted pyre and continue to hold it at the maushed until Africa shall blaze in the effulgent light and Africa for the Africans shall become a reality.

A Word of Praise For Negro Womanhood Please excuse me for taking the privilege of commending, or trying to commend, The Negro World for an editorial in a recent issue headed, "Latin Women," on our women page. I am forced to say that you gave the men of the race an awful slim in the aforementioned article. I say "men," for there are lots of Negroes who look like men, and that's all. I'll have to say that I cannot see, to save me, how the Negro man is ever going to waste completely up unless our women bring pressure to bear on him. She is absolutely too lenient with him. Our women are angels, but the men I can't even say "some" of them. I'm forced to say the majority of them, don't seem to be able to see the value of their womanhood. Many take pride in lowering their women without even thinking the harm they are doing themselves as well as to the women. No, people, race or nation, can be any better than the womanhood of that race or nation. I love my women, good ones, bad and indifferent ones. For, if they are bad, it is the fault of the men, for they absolutely do not try to do anything whatever for them but keep them always struggling to keep hearth and home together. She is the burden-bearer, and a very patient one. May God help the Negro to open his eyes to the valiant struggles of our noble women, put his shoulder to the load and carry his part of it and he will aid considerably to render some service to himself by rendering some to his women whether he is married or single. I am a single colored man of 25 and intend to stay so until such time as I can support a good girl (a black one at that) in a half way decent manner. I am saving every penny I can spare against that time, and if I marry the girl will work for me in my house alone. I will work my finger off before I'll let her work for someone else. Keep knocking, and knock her harder next time, until they wake up to their little pea. ARTHURS DANBURGE nees ARTHUR C. DANRIDGE Cleveland, Ohio. If You Will Not Go, Help Those Who Will To the Editor of The Negro World Sat: Every week after reading the Negro World I send it to some acquaintance together with the following letter. Dear friend, This is not an invitation to go to Africa, not at all. But if, out of the millions and millions of Negroes now living in North Central, South America and the West Indian Islands, there should be one, two or three millions who are brave enough to want to go, whose intelligence tells them that Africa is worth saving for the race, whose courage is strong enough to battle against the dangers and hard- ships incidental to establishing a great government on the continent of Africa, let me hope that you will assist them to go. "Isn't it a small duty for those who have not that bravery, that courage, that alison and foresight, to encourage those great souls by our financial and moral support?

Studio 61 General P. G. Rin 73 BROOKLYN, N. Y. The Fort Limon Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association had as special visitors Madam M. L. T. deMena, Assistant International Organizer of the parent body of the U. N. L. A. and Rev. R. N. Whittaker, president of the Boca del Tora Division. On Sunday, March 27, all roads led to Liberty Hall, when at 6 p.m. the units of the division lined up on the U. N. L. A. lawn for inspection by Madam deMena who, escorted by the chief officers of the units and the president of the division, performed the very pleasing ceremony. Emblems were then presented to minor officers of the units, according to their respective ranks, by Madam deMena. Next followed the arrangements for the regular mass meeting, during which time hundreds of anxious members and friends wended their way into Liberty Hall, and by eight o'clock the numbers swelled to thousands. At 6:30 the procession, led by the chapel from the lower floor of Liberty Hall, escorted the distinguished lady and the officers to their seats on the platform, while the hymn, "Shine on Eternal Light," was sung. The religious service was then opened by the Rev. C. Isaac Higgins the president-chapel. The Scripture lessons were read by the Rev. Whittaker and the sermon was preached by Mr. Higgins. At the close of the religious service the political and literary part came on, and the president again in an able manner welcomed the audience and the guests of the evening to the Cradle of Liberty. The following program was rendered: Recitation by Miss Lena Miles; trie by Cholomester Johnson and others; address by Miss Bernica L. Mena, private secretary to Madam deMena, who took for her topic "Racial Uplift." Next came Rev. Whittaker, whose subject was "Garvey, the Sower." Then followed a duet, after which the president introduced and presented to the audience the one on whom all anxiety of eyes and ears was centered, Madam deMena. She rose amid thundering applause. Taking as her topic, "Lord, is it 17 Garvey, the Man." In her usual and forceful and soul-stirring manner, she kept the house spellbound for fifty-five minutes, expounding most eloquently the principles and ethics of Garveyism. The lecture was punctuated all through by applause. Mrs. Araabella Thompson rendered very beautifully the song, "Never Give Up," and Mr. C. G. Cornaldi, the executive secretary, followed with a very snappy address. At this stage Madam deMena introduced a song, "All Round the World," which was sung by Miss Iris Daniels. Collection was taken during the singing of this song. The president then made the announcements, and the singing of the National Anthem and the Benediction brought a very inspiring and enthusiastic meeting to a close. J. A. BRYANT. Reporter. LA'CEIBA.

The Gary Division continued the celebration, of its sixth anniversary with a monster parade, Sunday, April 24, which was the crowning day. The officers, units and members of the Indiana Harbor and Gary Divisions, with Col. S. D. Watson as head, made a lasting impression upon the minds of the public as Gary moved off to the music of the U. N. L. A. Tempus Star and Indiana Harbor bands. The meeting was opened in the usual manner, after which the hymn, "O Africa, Awaken," was sung. At this time there were two babies christened, whose parents are active members of the Indiana Harbor Division. The first speaker of the evening was the president of the Indiana Harbor Division, Mr. Little; selection by the band, recitation by Miss Daisie Meddle, an address by Mr. Arthur O. C. Holder. This address was very, very interesting. In the evening session the dedicatory services were conducted by the president, Mr. E. H. Steward, after which the Rev. J. E. Suggs, Lee Clark, trustee, and Mr. J. W. Cooper were called on to speak on the accomplishments of the organization since it has been in this city, during the past 363 days, which marks the first anniversary of our president, Mr. E. H. Steward. Especial mention was made of the new annex to this building. The next number was a plane duet by Mrs. B. L. Webster and daughter, Willie May, Mr. D. G. Patterson, one of the first presidents of the Division, delivered an address. The president in his closing remarks thanked those who labored to make the celebration a success. The announcements were made and the meeting was closed with the Ethiopian anthem and benediction. B. L. WEBSTER Poster. LOS ANGELES, CAL Sunday, April 24, was Women's Day in the Los Angeles Division. President H. Hoxie called the meeting to order. The opening ode was sung. The religious sites were conducted by Mr. W. Morgan, chaplain. Mrs. A. C. Swan, lady vice president, was in charge of the program. The program was as follows: Song by the choir, *Grace Our President*; reading by Mrs. M. E. Berry, lady; plano-molo by Mrs. Williams. The Negro World was read by Mrs. Henderson; selection by the choir; address by the Rev. J. D. Gordon, who introduced the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Palmer. Her subject was the "History of the Ethiopian Race." The meeting was turned over the president, who impressed upon the women the part they have to play in the redemption of Africa. He extended an invitation for new members, made announcements for next meeting and closed the meeting with the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem and prayer. On Friday, April 22, there was produced in Division No. 156 a program entitled "Who Shall Rule Africa?" It was produced and enacted by Mrs. S. C. Swan, our lady vice president. It was interesting and educational and gave food for thought. The singing of the Ethiopian anthem and a drill was indeed a wonderful performance. MRS. M. C. BEMBRY Reporter.

Sunday, March 20, was a red letter day in Guantanamo. The Right Hon. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president general, paid her official visit to the division. She was met at the railway station by R. A. Charles, president; Mrs. Mary Francis, lady president, who presented her with a bouquet; Tirdred Lady Vica-President Mrs. C. Mathais and S. Johnson. Lady Davis was accompanied by Miss Rafash Thomas, secretary. The party was conveyed by car to Liberty Hall, where it was announced she would speak. The hall was tastefully decorated. All along the walls were to be seen pictures of Hon. Marcus Garvey and other Negro pictures, among which was that of Antonio Maceo, librator of Cuba. Long before the hour the hall was packed and a large crowd was on the outside. At the hour appointed Lady Davis was escorted by the lady president, Mary Francis, Third Lady Vice-President C. Mathais, A. Frederick, first vice-president. She was received at the entrance of Liberty Hall with a guard of honor, composed of the uniform ranks under the command of Mrs. Theodora Thomas, first lady vice-president, and chaplain of Motor Corp. On entering the hall, on the sound of the grand, the organist, choir and audience pealed forth the well known hymn "Shine On. Eternal Light." Lance Corporal Manners led the procession with the flag of the U. N. L. A. Short exercises were conducted by the chaplain, William Putter. The president, R. A. Charles, occupied the chair. Welcome address was read by the president. The program as follows: Address, A.
