The Negro World

The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Associated Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Machine A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN CREATES NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELEVENWINGS IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN OCCUPITIONS NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1927 New York City New York Public Library 100 W 12th N NEW YORK CITY EARL CARROLL AND MARCUS GARVEY The stage is now being shrewdly and carefully set, the way is being smoothly paved, for the release of Earl Carroll, Broadway producer, from the toils of the law. Earl Carroll is a white man, who some time ago staged a party in his theatre, whereat men and women drank highballs and champagne and a young woman and a bathtub furnished the climax. At the appointed time the young woman, Miss Joyce Hawley, at Carroll's direction, stepped naked and ever so bashfully into the bath tub which had been filled with ginger ale (?) and the honored male guests, again at Carroll's direction, filed past in single column to view the shapely lady cowering in the tub. News of the debauch got abroad, and a conscientious District Attorney haled Carroll before the Grand Jury. And Carroll lied. He declared there was no champagne in the tub, that there was no undraped lady in the tub. But despite his lying, Carroll might have secured immunity did he not display a supercilious disregard for the indignation of a certain section of the public, and District Attorney Buckner, to boot, plus a refusal to divulge the name of his bootlegger. He was brought into court, found guilty of perjury and sentenced to serve a year and a day in Atlanta penitentiary. His lawyers fought as best they could, taking the case to the Court of Appeals and to the highest tribunal in the land, without success. So Carroll had to serve his sentence. He was placed on board a train bound for the penitentiary. And Carroll, the gentle Carroll, the esteemed friend of publicans and sinners, the valued minion of beauty-loving millionaires, fell into a coma. The prospect of prison walls proved too much for his ultra-sensitive nature. He collapsed, so the story goes, was unconscious for forty-eight hours, and was rushed to a South Carolina hospital, while a perturbed public waited anxiously for the latest bulletins from the sick chamber. No one but immediate relatives and medical specialists, hired by his relatives, were permitted to see him, while his friends worked night and day to persuade the Department of Justice that a reprieve for Earl Carroll was a matter of simple justice. The rest is public property, and, as far as the public thinks, according to plan. A great wail is raised to heaven that the mighty producer will be lost to the great white race if he serves but one day in Atlanta prison—that he will either die forthwith, go insane, or commit suicide. So official medical specialists are sent to examine Carroll and report—their report, so 'tis said, to form the basis of any merciful action to be taken by the authorities. Somewhere in the book of laws it is written that no man can be "pardoned" unless he has begun to serve his sentence. Carroll has not served a day, yet the betting is 100 to 1 that Atlanta penitentiary will never house him. The Negro peoples of the world do not care a tinker's damn whether Earl Carroll goes to prison or not, but they are certainly impelled to serious reflection when forced to compare the treatment being meted out to their revered leader, Marcus Garvey, and that which is practically certain to be accorded to Carroll. Today in Atlanta penitentiary is a black man, the greatest black man, perhaps, the world has ever known, suffering untterable anguish, physical and mental, and all because, 100 per cent. man that he was, he blazed a path for Negroes to Negro nationhood. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest organization of its kind of all time, organized the Black Star Line, Inc., a steamship company, captured the imagination of Negroes the world over, awaked their race consciousness, and, when he had done that, practically made them vow that they would give their last drop of blood, if need be, for an Africa redeemed-for a government in Africa for Negroes. And when the Black Star Line failed, chiefly through the opposition and plotting of white men, he was haled before a white judge and twelve white men charged with using the United States mails to defraud Negroes in connection with the organization of the Black Star Line. They sentenced him to five years' imprisonment. They sent him to Atlanta, but on the way he fell into no convenient coma. Now, after two years and four months of confinement, he is completely broken in health, and not the intrinsic merits of his case, not the united appeals of the black men and women whom he was supposed to have defrauded, not ever the unbiased advocacy of his cause by liberal white men, including even the jurors who found him guilty on one count, can move the Chief Executive of this nation to leniency for Marcus Garvey. Arise, Negroes, in the strength that comes with unity, and work for your leader's release. If a trembling white showman, a self-confessed perjurer, is able to summon powerful aid to keep him from prison, it seems to us that black men and women ought to be able to do no less to end the tragic confinement of one of the most courageous and inspiring idealists the world has ever known.—The Editors. U. S. Financiers to Irrigate Rich Area in Black 'Republic' Under $5,000,000 Plan—Haiti Papers Opposed to Project WASHINGTON. May 24.—Financiers of Chicago and other Middle Western cities have formed a corporation which will attempt to put through a $5,000,-600 irrigation project in the Antibonite VaBay in Haiti. This became known today in connection with the fact that several Haitian newspapers and organizations have sent a cable to the "Nation" protesting against the preparation. The irrigation contract has been laid before the Conseil d'Etat, or Council of State, by the Haitian government. It is expected that it will be approved. Those who are objecting to it say the contract would impose little restriction on the company and would enrich a few at the expense of the peasants. Former Representative William A. Bodenberg, of Illinois, former Representative Allen Moore, of Illinois, and other wealthy men are interested in the project. They have taken it up with the State Department. The company is known as the Artibonite Irrigation Company, Mr. Moore is a multi-millionaire and one of the wealthiest men of Illinois. ```markdown ``` Mr. Rodenberg said today the project was to irrigate the Arthonite Valley, which is naturally a rich region, but had long been neglected. "It is a legitimate proposition and has the approval of the treaty officials and the Haytan government," said Mr. Rodenberg. "It would irrigate about 80,000 acres and aid in the agricultural development of the country. General Russell is heartily in favor of the development. It is no secret; it is strictly a business proposition, and has been pending over three years. The company has already spent about $75,000 in a preliminary way. "The interests of the people with respect to rates have been fully safeguarded and I know of no reason for objections. I assume the objections come from elements opposed to the government." Treaty Officials Approve Mr. Rodenberg said that once the irrigation works were in operation tropical fruits, sugar and various tropical products could be produced to advantage. It was learned at the State Department that the Rodenberg concession had been approved by Captain Cooke, the American technical officer in charge of public works, and Dr. Cumberland, the American financial advisor of the Haytian government, who are officers serving under the Haytian-American treaty. The contract, the State Department has been advised, provides for the irrigation of the Artibonite Valley, which at present is practically a wilderness. The agreement, it was stated, specifically provides against any dispossessing of property owned by Haytians and states that Rodenberg and his associates have the right to irrigate the land only. ```markdown ``` U. S. Aid Named in Treaty The treaty with Hayti contains two articles, under which the contracts with the Americans are understood to fall. One article says: "The government of the United States will by its good offices aid the Haytiian government in the proper and efficient development of its agricultural, mineral and commercial resources and in the establishment of the finances of Hayti on a firm and solid basis." Another article reads: "The government of Hayti agrees not to surrender any of the territory of the republic by sale, lease or otherwise or jurisdiction over such territory to any foreign government or power, and not to enter into any treaty or contract with any foreign power or powers that will impair or tend to impair the independence of Hayti." Umbrellas as a mask of elegance rather than a protection against sun or rain have been adopted by natives of French West Africa, according to the governor. Every native aplares to own at least one umbrella. BAYER ASPIRIN PROVED SAFE Take without Fear as Told in "Bayer" Package BAYER effect Mrs. Knowlton Defends Prince Kojo, Wins Alimony as Jealous Husband Sputters With Rage Calls Learned, Polished Scion of Dahomey "Big African Gorilla"—Will Go to Highest Court CHICAGO, May 25. -- Maintaining that the color line shades with geography and suggesting that although we are now shocked if a white woman finds a colored man's society entertaining, we must recollect that it wasn't so long ago when we were terribly shocked at a woman's smoking cigarettes, Judge Harry A. Lewis yesterday found for Mrs. Zulme Knowlton, as against Harry N. Knowlton, who divorced her on Oct. 9, 1925. In this finding, which will not be made legally official until this morning, the judge dismissed Knowlton's allegations of his former wife's friendship for Kojo Tovalou-Houeno, dark skinned and so-called prince of Dahomey, Afrela. "The important consideration before this court in a reopening of the alimony suit and bearing on custody of the child is," said Judge Lewis, "how the mother is behaving now, what kind of a home she is giving the child." Accordingly, Attorney Michael Quan, counsel for Mrs. Knowlton, promised to bring Jacqueline Knowlton, aged 9, and a Mrs. McDonald, 4547 Ells avenue, into court at 16 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Knowlton and her daughter are living in Mrs. McDonald's home. If Judge Lewis approves of the landlady and of the care the child has had he will then, he yesterday indicated, reward Jacqueline to her mother and will penalise Knowiton to the extent of $1.875 in back alimony, to be paid at the rate of $100 a month, plus the regular $200 a month alimony. Attorneys Frank Hall Stevens and Robert Berg, counsel for Knowiton, a consulting engineer living at 218 North Western avenue, urged the court to give them time to bring down from Detroit a witness by whom they seek to prove that Mrs. Knowiton's interest in the man she calls "the prince" was more than academe during the months he lived in her apartment at $39 East Schiller street. Judge Lewis refused permission, reiterating that it is Mrs. Knowiton's present conduct which is the legal issue. On the stand for an hour or so. Mrs Knowlton, a verbose French woman, spent half the time denying her husband's charges and half the time praising Kojo Tovalou-Houeno. "I object to your calling him a so-called prince," she almost screamed out her sentence as she leaned toward Attorney Stevens. "Do you know he is a prince," the lawyer queried. "Absolutely. He told me so. And I heard it in France. And when a Frenchman tells me something, I know it's true." "But, madam, don't you know," and Attorney Stevens was clear cut about it, "that for the last thirty-seven years Dahomey has been a province of France and there have been no princes?" That didn't cause the voluble Mrs Knowlton to pause an instant. "Yes, and don't you know," she flung back, "that France is so gaillant that she has no intention of taking away a title from any one? The prince is bound to be a prince because his uncle was the king of Dahomey." The judge called a halt to this exploration trip to Africa and said: "You will have to show me that this—er, prince, is a disreputable person before I will decide that there was anything wrong in her association with him. "It may shock our sensibilities at present if respectable women entertain and are entertained by colored men, but we used to be shocked because women smoked cigarettes. This color line doesn't mean anything to this French girl (Zulime Knowlton). Of course, it means something entirely different to us in the north and wouldn't at all be tolerated in the south." Last night Knowlton asserted he was "astounded" at the result of the hearing. He added that he would carry the fight against his former wife to the highest court to which he could appeal. "I know and think I can prove that she had a great affection for that big African gorilla," he said. "As for that back alimony, I've been deluged with bills that she ran up and I'm trying to pay them off." Soviet Red Tape Makes Death Complicated Affair MOSCOW.—Death is becoming complicated in the lonely stretches of the Ural Mountains. The Soviet officials there have tightened up their "red taps" and refused to register deaths without a physician's certificate of the cause of the demise. But doctors are as scarce in the Ural Mountains as deaths are frequent. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1987 GREATER FREEDOM FROM U. S. SKIRTS SOUGHT BY CUBA Agitation for Repeal of Platt Amendment Conferring U. S. Supervisory Powers — President Machado in Recent Visit Broached Proposal WASHINGTON, May 23.—Disclosure by President Machado of Cuba in an address at the celebration of the quarter century of Cuban independence that he had proposed to the United States Government on his recent visit to this country that there should be a further severance of the bonds that tie Cuba to the United States is the first public announcement that the Cuban Government had undertaken to attain that end. It has been known for some time, however, that the matter was being agitated among prominent Cubans, and developments were expected soon. While the State Department declined to comment on the Cuban President's statement, the understanding prevails here in informed quarters that President Machado merely mentioned the matter in an informal way in conversation with high officials in Washington and that it has not taken on any formal status. On account of the extremely cordial relationship existing between the two governments there is an indisposition on the part of the officials to make any statement that might seem to indicate opposition to what President Machado suggested, but it is safe to say that no mature consideration has been given to it and that no general sympathetic feeling has been developed for a lessening of the close relationship established with Cuba by treaty. Platt Amendments involved The agitation in Cuba aims to bring about the repeal of the agreement between Cuba and the United States embodied in the so-called Platt amendment. This provision, which is incorporated in a treaty between the two governments and is part of the Cuban Constitution, gives to the United States the supervision of Cuban elections, the right to intervene in Cuba in the event of disorder and certain supervision over the foreign loans of the Cuban government. Nothing has come to light, however, to indicate that the agitation for this repeal has gained any substantial headway among Cubans, in spite of its apparent endorsement by President Machado. No emphasis has been given to the proposal by the Cuban government in communications to the United States, and the impression has not been created that the Cuban people have been aroused in its favor. The effort to agitate repeal of the Platt amendment is due largely to the manner in which the election of President Machado was accomplished. For the first time since the Cuban Republic came into being, there was no protest over the declared outcome of a presidential election. It is regarded by some interested American officials as the first real constitutional election in the history of the young republic. One significant feature of the outcome was that former President Marle Menocal, who was Machado's opponent for the presidency, congratulated the latter over his victory, instead of undertaking a contest. Want Same Freedom as Neighbors In view of the orderly and successful manner in which the presidential contest was conducted, many Cubans feel that their government has proved that it is entitled to the same freedom of action as are other Latin-American governments. They contend that Cuba has demonstrated its ability to go it alone without the guiding hand of the United States. No nation is on a more cordial footing with the United States that Cuba. There exists among Cubans a strong feeling of gratitude and loyalty to the United States and it is a frequent saying in that country that Cuba is practically a state of the American Union. This government would do nothing This government would do nothing that might in any way lessen that CATARRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY "Choking Catarrh and Head Noise Left the First Day," is the Amazing Statement of a Missouri Resident Hawking, writing, choking Catarrh and Bronchial Asthma, Head Noise and the blues need not be dreaded any longer.

A., Undaunted by Silence of Chief Executive, Renew Appeals for Pardon, Without Deportation, for Hon. Marcus Garvey Telegrams continue to pour into the White House to President Coolidge voicing the feelings of the Negro citizenry of this country in regard to the continued imprisonment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder and president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Undaunted by the apparent indifference of the Chief Executive to their unending appeals for clemency for their leader, divisions throughout this country and abroad continue to beseech Mr. Coolidge to help and honor the Negro race by releasing Marcus Garvey from prison. Below is printed the best of a few of the recent messages sent to Mr. Coolidge: From Philadelphia, Pa. Hon. Calvin Coolidge, The White House, Washington, D. C. Honorable Sir—Five thousand members of the Negro race, citizens of the United States of America, on the 22nd day of May, 1927, in column conclave, do now humbly petition Your Excellency in the name of God to consider our request that by the power vested in you you release Marcus Garvey from Atlanta penitentiary. We humbly pray that Your Excellency will on the behalf of our people the world over grant our request. (Std.) ARNOLD IFILL, Secretary; MARY A. CARROLL, Treasurer; FRED. A. TOOTE, President; Officers of the Philadelphia Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association Washington, D. C.: Fifteen hundred members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and members of the Negro race, citizens of this Commonwealth send greetings: We, assembled in a solemn meeting, do most humbly petition Your Excellency in the name of God, and justice to humanity, pray that you favorably consider our request. Please release unto us our leader, Marcus Garvey. It is not only for the sake of Marcus Garvey's life, which is fast wearing cordial relationship and, while a considerable number of government officials, senators and representatives, may feel that it would be unwise for Cuba's own sake to loosen the bonds found in the Platt amendment, there is no likelihood that they will say or do anything which would create an impression distasteful to Cuban sensibilities or be capable of the erroneous interpretation that America was any less cordial in its feeling for Cuba than Cuba is for this country. Another Negro Victim BRAGGADOCIA, Mo., May 23.—Will Sherod, 30, a Negro, was lynched here last night after an alleged attack on Mrs. Ella Henderson, 31, a widow with two children. Sherod was strung up by the hands to a temporary scaffold in the town square and his body pierced with a dozen bullets. After the alleged attack Saturday night, Mrs. Henderson called a constable and described her assailant. From this description the constable arrested Sherod. The prisoner was taken to the Pemscot County Jail at Caruthersville, fifteen miles east of here. About 10 o'clock last night a mob of about one hundred from Braggadocia went to the jail and took the Negro to his home town and lynched him. Paris Is Censoring "Frivolous" Stories PARIS—Paris is actually censoring some of its "light literature." Scores of newspaper stands on the boulevards have been closed for from one to three days for selling a certain collection of "felizious" stories. Other vendors have been fined for displaying periodicals whose covers are quite realistic. Foreigners are made the alibi. "We don't read these things," some vendors told the police, "so we don't know what is in them. We buy them because the foreigners want them." What atra adverse criticism of this censorship in the main, however, is that scores of book shops devoted almost entirely to books that are barred from the American malls flourish. Many of these stores also are in arcades and side streets where tourists seldom go. Not only have these places been in existence for generations, but well-known periodicals whose illustrations, text and advertisements, all would be banned under the most primitive censorship are everywhere displayed and sold. Mob Lynches Negro Accused of Attack CARATHERSVILLE, Me. May 24—Will Shrored, a Negro accused of attacking a white woman, was lynched by a mob which took him from the Pemiscot county jail, banged him on an improvised scaffold in the village of Braggadocio near here, and riddled his body with bullets. He had been arraigned for attacking Mrs. Henry Shot. The body was found yesterday. Authorities said they were away from the confines of a prison cell, but it is the value of such a leader as Marcus Carvey to his race, and other nations as well, had he his liberty and freedom. Again, Honorable President, may we in the name of four hundred million Negroes of the world, and fifteen million of these United States, of which you are the well-chosen leader, petition Your Excellency to grant our request. Please indulge us further to say that Abraham Lincoln never introduced by the stroke of the pen a greater boon for the Negro when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation than you will when you shall have signed the petition for Marcus Carvey's release from Atlanta penitentiary. And should you prove to be, and we believe you are, such a friend to the Negro race, you, the Coolidge generation, will never die out of the memory of four hundred million Negroes for generations unborn. JACKSONVILLE, FLA. DIVISION, G. W. PARKER, President; C. H. FRAZIER, Secretary. From Guthrie, Okla. Honorable Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States. Washington, D. C. Bir: We, the officers and members of the Guthrie Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and citizens, assembled in mass meeting, do earnestly petition you in behalf of Marcus Garvey, the founder of our organization, who is now in confinement in the penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia, that he be released from the five-year sentence. He has served two years of this sentence. We feel that the ends of justice have been fully served. Trusting that this petition may meet your favorable consideration and that he will be granted his freedom without deportation, we our humble prayer GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA, DIVISION. 8. M. Colman. Secretary. From Buffalo, N. Y. Hon. Calvin Coolidge. President, U. S. A. Washington, D. C. Two hundred members of the U. N. I. A. of Division 374, Buffalo, N. Y. marched in monster parade in solemn protest against the continued imprisonment of Marcus Garvey, our leader. Also assembled today in mass meeting at Liberty Hall we pray that you will favorably consider the release without deportation of Marcus Garvey. May the Almighty God, who is the one common Father of all mankind, help you, Mr. Coolidge, to your own self to be true, and then we know that you cannot be false to this much exploited, down-trodden and oppressed race of ours. (Sgd.) SHEFFIELD A. D. DENNIS. President. Mrs. Nathaniel English, Secretary. From Spanish Honduras Hon. Calvin Coolidge. President, United States. President, United States. White House, Washington, D. C. May it please your Excellency: Four hundred Negroes of this vicinity of the Republic of Spanish Honduras, loyal members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which Marcus Garvey is founder and president general, humbly petition you on behalf of his pardon and pray that you give this and other petitions your kind consideration. He has served nearly half the time of a five-years imprisonment in the Atlanta penitentiary. We feel confident that your Excellency's true, tender and Christian feeling will suffice to grant our request. "A pardon for Marcus Garvey without deportation," which shall be your Excellency's priceless gift to the Negro peoples the world over. IRA. SPAN. HONDURAS DIV. H. Leonard Ivev, President. Thomas C.

You, my fellow men, especially in the pivotal states, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York—it is your supreme duty to those of our brethren who are now disfranchised and lynched in the Southland, denied civil rights in the North, to lay plans nationally for the coming Presidential Election upon the fundamental issues of civil and political rights. We will soon be told by campaign orators to vote this way and that way. We have permitted the political parties at election time to pay some Negro mountebank to traverse the country making speeches about the benefits to be derived by voting for this party and the other party, that a square deal will be assured to our group by their party if elected, but when the campaign hurrahs have subsided and we return to our quiet walks of life, and the President and other electives have obtained their desires, we are forgotten even before the echoes of the election drums have died away. Since the days of the late honored and revered President Roosevelt, we have not received any post of note. Can we rely upon the Democratic Party, whose main support is in the South, to help us gain either our political or civil rights when the great issue of the South is the Race Problem, and its history has been anti-Negro? What assurance are you going to give us that the future must not be judged by the past? And what about the Republican Party—that party that dins into the Negro's ears that every constituted right received has been given by them. Yes, we appreciate this, and our gratitude has been shown in our loyal devotion and support to that Party ever since the franchise was given us, but we do not feel obligated to any party unto eternity, especially when it has thrown aside the standards erected by its Fathers and has sponsored or condoned lynching and mob law while we have poured forth our blood from Bunker's Hill to No Man's Land. We have importoned with a Persecution of Marcus Garvey Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, but have they answered? Have they not filibustered it to death? The greatest Negro now languishes in Atlanta Penitentiary—Marcus Garvey. What is the reason that they continue to persecute this man? Is it because he has aroused that undying and unyielding spirit of race loyalty among our group, appealing to them to yield nothing short of manhood rights? Is not his continued imprisonment in the face of every appeal for clemency an insult to the Negro Race? Can the Republican Party plead not guilty to this indictment when to men who have committed graver crimes, clemency has been shown? There seems to be a deliberate attempt to heap contempt upon the race. Or can it be that there are those who pray that he die in prison? Garvey's iron will withstands this severe test, but his physical constitution is wilting under his continued confinement. Negroes, awake to this greatest insult of the age! Are we going to have a repetition of the stain recorded against Napoleon for his persecution of Toussaint L'Overture? Arise in the strength of your voting manhood. Persecution of this member of our Race is persecution of all. We should leave no stone unturned in this coming election to avenge the wrong done our race. Are the days of the fagot and the rack gone? Are we living in a Christian dispensation? It is not merely Marcus Garvey—it is a brother of our race who became enmeshed in legal technicalities, and the Majesty of the Law was brought in to defeat a great soul. "Oh Justice, what crimes are committed in thy name!"

Attached with a machete in the hands of a woman while remonstrating with the bandit chieftain, General Cabulla, early this morning, Captain William P. Richards, of the United States Marine Corps, shot and killed General Cabulla, and was then forced to kill the woman in self-defence, may advices received here from Chinandega. Captain Richards had gone to a house in which General Cabulla was staying to remonstrate against the maltreatment of several inhabitants by the bandit leader. As he entered the door the officer was attacked by a woman in the house with a machete, while General Cabulla capped from his bed and drew a pistol. Captain Richards thereupon drew his own weapon and fired, killing General Cabulla instantly and was then forced to kill the woman in self-defense. General Cabulla, who was described as a "Liberal bandit" leader, was called the Pancho Villa of Nicaragua and was reputed to have sixty killings to his credit. He virtually controlled a large part of the northwestern frontier section of the country. The advises received here said that he rode into the small town of El Viejo yesterday in an intoxicated condition. The report said that he intimidated and maltreated several peaceful inhabitants. A complaint was thereupon made to Captain Richards, commanding a small marine detachment in the town. The Captain went to the house in which General Cabulla had gone to inform him that such actions would not be tolerated. Richards Was Known as "Person" WASHINGTON, May 27.—Captain William Pettet Richards is a native of the State of Washington and was appointed to the Marine Corps from the Naval Academy on March 30, 1917, as a second lieutenant. His last detail in the United States was at the Quantico Marine Base here. He is 25 years old and has held the rank of captain since January 1, 1922. Captain Richard's record includes a year's foreign service. He is a member of the last group of marines to be sent to Nicaragua. At the Naval Adcomey, he was known among his classmates as "Parson" Richards, and acquired his nickname because of his quiet disposition. General Cabulla had been regarded as a constant trouble maker for the expeditionary forces. He was believed to have headed one of the many bands that straggled away from the Liberal command when the disarmament of both Liberals and Conservatives began. The last dispatches to the Navy Department from Admiral Latimer in which Cabulla's name figured were received April 21, and described an attack upon an American force of 24 men at Penoltoma by a band of 50 mounted native. The attack was thwarted and three of the attacking band were killed, one wounded and two captured. From the prisoners, the dispatch said, it was learned, that the party was a part of the band of the "bandit and revolutionary leader Cabulla." Run on Bank Stopped By a Tunnel Ruse A ruse by two banking houses in Buenos Aires to forestall a run on one of the banks is explained by a correspondent of the Sydney Bulletin. The Bank of London and River Plate and the Banco d'Italia were located opposite each other facing a narrow street. The Italian institution got into difficulties and a run was started by depositors one Saturday morning. After closing time the manager begged the head of the English bank to help tide him over the crisis, and finally an agreement was reached. A selected body of men, mostly English, dug a tunnel from the basement of the English bank to the Italian bank just big enough for one man to pass through on his hands and knees. Monday morning there were about a thousand depositors sitting outside the Banco d'Italia, having been there since Saturday noon, to draw their money. As fast as they were paid in gold they took it across to the English bank and deposited it there. A clerk was sent down to take the gold back to the Italian bank, and the process was continued all day until the run was stopped. Esperanto Bank Notes Issued in Holland AMSTERDAM.—Have you seen a speemillo? It is a new bank note issued by the "Universal Speemila Banko," a circulation bank of the Dutch Espuranto Association, which has its seat in Laren, a small village in the province of North Holland. A few weeks ago the first series of 1,000 of these notes was issued. One speemillo has a value of 50 cents, 1.2 Dutch florins or 2.5 gold francs. This international money was designed by Prof. Rene de Saussure, formerly of Washington, now living in Geneva. The purpose of the spemilo, which is nothing more than a private tender, is to facilitate payments between Esperantists for subscriptions. According to a statute of the Bank of Holland, no circulation bank may be established in this country and no foreign enterprise may put its bank notes into circulation except by virtue of a special law. The Bank of Holland is skeptical and does not understand the need of a new international tender when the letter of credit is so well established. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1927 Sing of Garvey, Glorify Him, Ye Myriad Men of Sable Hue Sing of Garvey! Garvey, the stalwart son of Africa, the tall upstanding sycamore of the Ethiopian forest, fling of him. Sing of Garvey, who spoke to the scattered sons of weeping Lybia in a voice of thunder; whose breath is the flame of resurrection. He spoke to Africa, and all Africa listened—listened with bated breath as the earth and sea listen in dreadful calm before the coming of the tempest. Sing of Garvey! Garvey, the incarnation of the new Negro spirit—the New Negro who has looked into the darkling pool by the light of the funeral pyre where enable soul said agonized farewell to sable body. He looked into the pool and saw reflected therein a child of Allah. Are not all the children of Allah alike? Yea, for Allah's family is great and of many tribes, many nations, yet are all the children of Allah one. So he went forth to teach the people of his tribe who knew not themselves to be children of the Most Powerful, for they had not looked into the pool. Sing of Garvey. . . . Garvey, who woke the) slumbering giant of racial pride, who whispered in his ear: "Behold, while thou didst sleep, the children of the Norse-God danced upon thy belly, they spat upon thy face, and altogether defiled thee. The stench of their defilement ariscnt from thy garments. They laughed when the prophets warned them and said, 'Behold, he and slept these twenty hundred years, and will he now awaken?' "Arise, while thy strength is ye upon thee. Lo, while thou didst sleet they entered into thy harem and deftly thy women. The children of thy wives bear thy name, but their faces are the faces of thine enemies. Awake! For they have taken thy cattle and sheep to feed the famished whelps of their northern land where naught grows but ice and frost. Awake! For their women adorn themselves with the jewels from thy caskets, with fine raiment from thy chests of cedar and sandalwood." Sing of Garvey. For he made the Giant to listen—the Giant whom no man could arouse these twenty hundred years. Sing of Garvey. For the Giant at his call stirred in his slumber and shook himself, and the shaking of his mighty limbs made the earth to tremble as trembles the soil beneath the hammer-strokes of the fire-god Vulcan. Sing of Garvey, oh waters of Nyansa, that churn thy tortuous ways through Transvaal's granite gut. Sing of Garvey, O mighty lion that roars dehance to the star-strewn canopy of the veldt. Sing of Garvey, Oh continent of Power and Mystery—sing from Moscaar's minnisc to the foam-crested waters that swirl around the feet of hold Cape Horn. Sing of him, ye fisher-folk of dreamy Santa Gloria, sweet dreamy town that yet will boast "I gave the Titan birth." Sing of him, sing, on days of calm. Oh salty waters of the Carthboan. And when thou doat return to rave as thou art famed to do, sing loud in high discordant screech of vicious, whistling wind, pull forth the stop marked "diapason," and bellow forth. Oh organ-tones of the tempestuous sea, "Behold, I'm honored for he bathed in me." Four forth thy hatred, venom tongues of men with face of clay. We love to hear you blare your rage, for never yet did pale-face waste his breath reviling one of sable countenance, but we found greater cause to love and honor him. Bing of Garvey, for he weathe the convict's stripes, and because he weathe them they are become noble. Bing, Poet, tell the future that when Africa is ours the badge of greatest honor will be the convict stripes made hallowed by the galant Garvey's use. Sing. Oh thou snow-capped mountain peak that towers to the sky. Sing. Oh thou swift torrential stream that seaward rushes by. Sing of Garvey! Garvey, the stalwart son of Africa, the tall upstanding sycamore of the Ethiopian forest. . . Sing of Garvey! DEDICATION OF CHAPEL OF SPELMAN COLLEGE Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—John Dr. Rockefeller, Jr., was the principal figure in the dedication here yesterday of the magnificent new Sister's Chapel of Spelman College, recently erected as a memorial to Mr. Rockefeller's mother and aunt. An audience of 1,500, including many prominent people of both races, packed the great chapel to witness the dedication, and as many more were turned away. Addresses were delivered by Dr. James M. Stifler, of Evanston; the Rev. James B. Adams, of Brooklyn; and Dr. John E. White, of Anderson, S. C. Dr. E. P. Johnson and Dr. John Hope led the opening devotions, and the service of dedication was conducted by Dr. Charles W. Daniel and Dr. Carter Helm Jones. In turning over the keys of the chapel to Dr. Trevor Arnett, president of the board of trustees, Mr. Rockefeller paid a simple but beautiful tribute to the devotion of his mother and aunt to the ideals of the home, the school, and the church, and expressed the hope that the new building might stand always as a bulwark to these essentials of character and civilization. The building is a rarely beautiful place of architecture, modeled after the temples of ancient Rome, and was constructed almost wholly by colored labor. The cost of the building and furnishings were $182,500. Spelman College, named for the mother of the elder Mrs. Rockefeller, had its origin in 1851 as a Baptist mission enterprise in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church. From that humble beginning, largely through the friendship of the Rockefellers, it has grown to an A-grade college, with a plant worth nearly a million dollars. It has turned out more than a thousand graduates and now had an enrollment of 570. Pope Assails World ROME, May 24.—Beauty contests in general, and the international beauty contest at Galveston, Tex., in particular, drew a scathing denunciation from Pope Pius today. Through the official Vatican newspaper organ, the Osservatore Romano, the Pope took occasion to criticize severely the Galveston contest and all movie promotion schemes. Girls drawn into such schemes, the official Vatican pronouncement said, enter a "life from which they cannot emerge except at the price of bitter disappointment. "Perhaps she may be abandoned on the very threshold of her career," it said, "not knowing how to rediscover her place and her mission in life. "Suddenly an obscure and modest young girl dances in an artificial and ephemeral world. Fame becomes more clamorous sometimes than even her greatest benefactor or her hero. Her existence floats to a new atmosphere and a new light makes her so dazzlingly dizzy that she soon feels she is repeating the life of another Cinderella."

Improved Pluko JOLLY JUNIOR CLUB IN FIRST APPEARANCE PRESENT HEALTH PLAY Members of the Jelly Junior Club, an auxiliary to the Harlem Committee, New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, made their first public appearance Wednesday evening. May 26, when they presented a health play before their parents and friends. The performance was given in the auditorium at the Urban League Building, 202 West 136th street. The audience filled the room. "The Wonderful Window," as the play was called, showed a motherless boy who lived in a dirty room, drank coffee, ate rich rolls for breakfast and did not sleep when he should. Cho-Cho, a good fairy, and her three maids took charge of the poor boy and sent him to a good farmer's wife who gave him rich milk to drink, wholesome food to eat, and let him play in clover fields. A bad witch attempted to steal the boy from his adopted mother, but did not succeed, so the end showed the boy living in a clean, healthy home with the good farmer's wife. Miss Geneva Young read the prolog to the play and played the piano for the dance of the Flowers. Miss Beulah Nugent and Miss Odeaena Johnson. The cast included: The boy, Clarence McNichols; Cho-Cho, Carrie Brown; flower children, Beulah Nugent, Odessa Johnson; witch, Gwendolyn Dylan Eskoe; maid, Dorothy Summers; three maids, Dorothy Pierson, Sylvia Nugent, Bernice Johnson. Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary of the Harlem committee, and Miss Gertrude Sheridan, of the staff, directed the play. Members of the audience were enthusiastic in their compliments for the production, and several invitations to present the play before church and club groups were given to the Jolly Juniors. The club will be glad to repeat the production before groups who wish them to give it as part of a longer program. Requests for more information about this or information on health matters should be made to Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, executive secretary of the committee, at 302 West 136th street. Cobras at Manila Opera Make Audience Restless MANILA.—Pythons are wont to inhabit Philippine buildings and, playing the role of cais, are often welcome to lodgings above the ceiling. One grows accustomed to a python's blind lunges after the rodents. The ceiling heaves and bellows, the rat squeaks and the snake dines, then sleeps. But Manila has developed objections to this provincial custom. Two harmless twenty-foot pythons with almost insatiable appetites have been killed this spring in Manila. Of course the city has other snakes, like the hostile cobras, that home in the opera house. They make the audiences restless sometimes when the whining of a violin or the sob of a cello charms them out of their lairs. On such occasions musicians may think Manila unappreciative of their genius, when, in fact, Manila is just a little distracted andidgety about the snakes and would, under other circumstances respond to the music with rounds of applause. The ear of a person never changes during life, and as a means of identification is as sure as fingerprints, according to United States immigration officials, who recently admitted a Chinese woman to this country after identifying her ear with that in a photograph taken in her childhood. Average American Workman Has Doubled Output During Last Twenty-Five Years—Labor Forces Increased 90 Percent From the New York Sun WASHINGTON, May 20.—Improved methods of production and the use of machinery have outweighted a shortening of hours for the American mechanic and working man, as well as for the working woman, according to the findings of the Department of Commerce, which has made a study of the various census figures on the quantity of production a person in the United States. The figures apply only to the manufacturing industries and cover a twenty-five-year period up to and including 1925. Production a person doubled in this period, reflecting a growth of nearly 180 per cent. in quantity of production and less than 90 per cent. in the total number of persons engaged. Many occupations have become more skilled through the introduction of better tools and machinery. Expansion in output a person has been particularly large during recent years, amounting to 10 per cent. in the two years from 1923 to 1925, and to 40 per cent. in the six years from 1919 to 1925. From 1909 to 1909 there was an increase of 10 per cent. in production a person, but from 1909 to 1919 the output a person decreased. Comparisons between 1914 and 1921 are affected by the industrial depressions which prevailed in those years, as in times of depression curtailment in production generally exceeds reduction in employment, and therefore the output a person is small. Because of the postwar readjustments under way in 1919 the efficiency in industry in that year, likewise, was lowered, with a consequent reduction of output a person. For this and other reasons the increase noted since 1919 is abnormal. Growth in output a person may be attributed to two sets of factors: The first relates to changes within individual industries and plants, and the second to shifts among the industries composing the industrial structure as a whole. The first set of changes includes the increasing use of machinery and power, the introduction of various sorts of labor saving devices and methods, the growth of mass production of standardized articles, the elimination of waste, the planning of production in relation to general business conditions, and other economies resulting from improvements in methods and management. For industry as a whole and for large groups of industries, however, a part of the increase of output a person is due to the shifting of production from industries dependent in a large degree on labor to those industries which are more capable of being run on mechanical and mass production lines. This is evidenced by the rise of certain industries such as the manufacture of motor vehicles and the producing and refining of petroleum, and also by the substitution of new products for old, as in the case of cement for lumber, brick and stone; by-product coke for beehive coke; cigarettes for cigars, and baker's bread and factory-canned goods for the products of the housewife.

Skin Important as Lungs In Expelling Impurities Medical authorities point out that the skin is as equally important as a respiratory organ as are the lungs. The lungs inhale oxygen and exhale impurities of a gaseous nature, while the skin's main function is to charge toxins through its pore, both in a liquid and a gaseous form, using the Pathfinder. According to Dr. Frank McClay noted physician, the surface of the skin is dotted over with two and half million little mouths which constantly pouring out impurities. Of these pores should be entirely blocked, he says, the patient whose skin was blocked would die in about four minutes because of the extreme tumour which would be produced in the body by the stoppage of the normal immune alive functioning of the skin. If the skin is not kept clean by sweeping bathing, he claims, a partial poisoning exists. Population of World Put at 1.906.000.000 BOSTON, May 2.—The population of the world is estimated at 1,904,000,000 in a report issued today by the World Peace Foundation on the basis of facts prepared by the secretariat of the League of Nations. The report states that of the total population approximately 1,550,000,000 persons occupy territory "within the orbit of the league." Approximately 17 per cent of the total population, according to the report, were nationals of states which do not belong to the league. THE EASIEST TO USE by their spiritual overlords, the gods they worship, such as greed for the lands and liberties and labors of others—as in China, India, Africa and the Pacific States. The unlawful desires of governments, like those of individuals, are used to make the people of one mind, the unlawful desires being used as a rod with which they break their own heads. It was that way with the world war, which could have been prevented by a half dozen men around a conference table, if their unlawful desires for the possessions of others had not overruled their better judgment and the general happiness of mankind. Trade advantages and administrative prestige are the sensitive factors in British foreign policy, and will be found to permeate its dominion and colonial policy. Russia has been guilty of flouting both these, and of fomenting strife in British zones of influence where loss of either would be a calamity. HEALTH By DR. M. ALL Of the New York Health Preventing Four things are tuberculosis: rest, and good food. Are of the greatest venting tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is those people who resistance to becom There can be no doubt that British trade advantages and administrative prestige have been greatly weakened by the World War, by the assumption of sovereign powers by the dominions and by the clamor of the British colonies for more self-determination in their local affairs. The right of every government to administer its domestic affairs without outside interference is a principle of international law and comity which is generally respected, and disrespect for which was the bottom cause of the World War. The disposition and insistence upon violating this principle, and of prosecuting a systematic propaganda of unrest and dissatisfaction among the people of neighboring States, appears to be a matter of settled policy with the Russian Soviet government and is bound to lead to serious consequences, if not to another disastrous war of nations, if there shall be no change in the policy. The disposition to interfere in the affairs of others without their invitation or consent is a very dangerous and trouble-making business. WORLD-WIDE HYSTERIA A DANGEROUS MANIFESTATION THE temperament of people everywhere appears to be in a highly inflammable condition. The flighty and frivolous disposition appears to have the right of way. Great masses of people get excited over small things and become hysterical and irresponsible in their thoughts, words and acts. Everything appears to them to be topsy-turvy, because they are, and they give way to exulting joy or frenzied madness, as the case may be, without any apparent reason. It is said that wherever the Apostle Paul went there was a disposition among the populace at once to show that it was affected, with the world upside down and to break forth in some sort of demonstration. Some such spirit appears to be abroad in the world today, and to have been abroad since the blowing up of the battleship Maine, in the harbor of Havana, some twenty-seven years ago. The little war in Cuba was the starting of a succession of wars which swept around the earth, and the influence of which is still actively at work—from Nicaragua to North Africa and from the Balkan States to remotest Cathay. That is to say, the world appears to be upside down, with hysteria gripping the masses everywhere. Take the case of Captain Charles A. Lindbergh. The world has gone mad over him, and fame and fortune have been strewn in his way as for great conquerors of old, the high and the low joining in the hallelulah chorus. Governments and individuals have been little less than frenzied in their proffers of honors and rewards to the modest and self-contained man who did an unusual thing, something the average person is incapable of doing. And what is it all about? The young American mail route aviator, while others talked and hesitated about doing it, flew across the Continent from Los Angeles to New York, and after looking about him, hopped off for Paris, on a non-stop flight, with a sandwich, a bottle of water and a compass as his only supplies. And he negotiated the trip in somewhat more than thirty-three hours. It was a splendid achievement, one of the greatest in history, for courage, skill and endurance. The French went mad with joy at the feat, so did the rest of Europe and the world, for the matter of that, the United States appearing to lose its head over it. We take no stock in hysteries. The world-wide disposition to go off the stride upon the appearance of any unusual thing or happening is dangerous. The affairs of mankind require cool heads and steady hands.

PAGE GARVEY RELEASE WEEK JUNE 12-19 THE movement to secure a pardon for President-General Marcus Garvey, which it is believed President Coolidge is disposed to grant, gains momentum not only among the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but among the people outside of the association. The sentiment is becoming general that a pardon would be a just and gracious act in the part of the President, and this fact has helped to give the movement additional strength and speed on its way to the White House. The President could not but be impressed by the flow of letters, telegrams, petitions and personal appeals with which he has been besieged, being the honest expression of the feelings of a vast host of people, most of them citizens of the Great Republic, which is supposed to be jealous of the privileges and immunities of the least as of the greatest of its 110,000,000 persons. There is a general belief that the ends of justice have been complied with in the service. Mr. Garvey has already given of the five-year term imposed by the court, that his health is such as to endanger his life by further incarceration, and that his great work of race unification and uplift needs his presence, and it is believed that these considerations will have weight with President Coolidge. Acting President-General Fred A. Toote has issued an appeal, which appeared in the last issue of The Negro World, in which June 12-19 has been set aside as Marcus Garvey release week, when the President will be appealed to by the members of the association and persons and organizations which sympathize with them to extend executive clemency to Mr. Garvey. The week should be made one of greatest efforts yet put forth to secure the desired pardon. We believe that it will be. It stands to reason that the best way to secure what you desire is to keep contending for it. We insist that the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association understand thoroughly this principle and have been and are applying it in the movement to secure a pardon for Hon. Marcus Garvey. THE GREATEST DANGER IN AMERICAN LIFE WHAT is the greatest danger in American life today? That is a live question. Some say one thing and some say another, and most guess wide of the answer. Not so Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of the famous Calvary Baptist Church, in New York city, a man who has ideas and plenty of them, and knows how to advertise himself and his ideas so that they are constantly in the headlines of the daily newspapers. Things are becoming more mixed every month as regards the eligibility of American citizens to hold office. No Negro can be elected to Congress from any one of the 215 Congressional districts in the country, or mayor of any large city, or any city of 25,000 inhabitants; or be appointed or elected judge of any of the superior courts, state or national. Recent municipal elections seem to indicate that there is a disposition to disregard party lines, and deny Catholics election to mayoralities or aldermanships. There also appears a disposition to oppose appointment to federal judgeships of persons of "wet" proclivities. In some localities no person of foreign birth is acceptable as an officeholder. And go it goes. Dr. Straton is a hidebound prohibitionist. He thinks that law enforcement should go so far that the governor of Indiana was not justified in buying whiskey while in office even to save his sick wife from death. That is extremist enough. There are millions of Americans who think that way about prohibition and the Volstead act. But prohibition enforcement is not the greatest issue in American life, nor the most dangerous, according to Dr. Straton, who declared emphatically that: "The greatest danger to America at the present hour is not the liquor issue or any economic question, but the danger of lawlessness! Unless we re-establish respect for constituted authority in this country, we are going on the rocks. "And, remember, if America goes to Hell, she will exceed the speed limit while she does it!" And that is the precise truth, and has been ever since the Civil War. There were three mob murders, one person being burned to death, in Arkansas and Mississippi, while the waters of the flood were destroying life and property as never before, and largely because of mob violence and the general treatment of the black by the white citizens of the Mississippi States. But the people are blind and do not see and understand. More's the pity. If this policy of proscription and exclusion is to go on, it will not require much tortsight and understanding of affairs to see the time when there will be no such thing as national unity and solidity in the United States. The Negro has not as yet been able to make any pronounced impression on the public mind as to the injustice of intolerance toward him as an office-holder. As the spirit of intolerance extends to other groups, it may be that in self-defense all proscribed elements may find it to their advantage to make common cause in these unaltruistic circumstances. GREAT BRITAIN BREAKS WITH SOVIET RUSSIA THE strained international situation has been greatly aggravated during the past week by the raiding of the headquarters of the Russian Soviet business clearing house in London, and the seizure of confidential papers by the British authorities, who, in this extremist way, expected to get evidence that Russia has broken her treaty obligations and has been fomenting internal strife against British interests in China, India, and in other Ancient and African countries. Just what evidence was secured has not been made public, of course, but it is given out that enough was secured to warrant the British government in breaking off all diplomatic relations with the Soviet Republic. This action is never taken except in extreme cases and then it has heretofore been regarded in the nature of a declaration of war. It may ultimately turn out that such in the present instance, as the relations of the two councils could not be more sensitive and strained. In that event all the dishinherited will certainly outnumber the narrow minded and the intolerant, and America may become, indeed, a country where men will be judged by their character and talents and not by ethnological, religious or transient standards.—Washington Tribune.

A machine capable of resolving radiophonic communications at great distances, invented by a young engineer of Turin, is to be tested between Rome and New York within a few days, it is announced. The machine, its inventor may, functions automatically, typing on ordinary paper, guided by radio waves. these are so many Negroes in all parts of the earth who are sub- sidies of the British government that interest in anything vital that occurs in interests must affect theirs also. The world is not wanting any great war at this time; it got enough to the World War; but it appears to us that people do not get to want in the matter of war, and in many other matters to their interests; it appears to us that they are dominated JOHANNESBURG, S. A., May 3. South Africa is indebted to two of the leading universities of the United States for taking the lead in utilizing the peculiar geographical and atmospherical conditions of the Union to establish observatories in the country. Of recent years American astronomers have been turning their attention to the southern portion of the African continent as a suitable country from which to observe the firmament and their exhaustive investigations have convinced them that South Africa offers distinct advantages over other countries for the setting up of the necessary apparatus to search the skies for astronomical data. At Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, one of the four Provinces of the Union of South Africa, Harvard has decided to establish an observatory and to initial there a 60-inch reflector telescope. The actual site has still to be selected. It is the intention to carry out at this station specialized work, which will include the photographing of the southern skies. This decision means that two of the great universities of the United States, Yale and Harvard, will now both be represented in South Africa, for Yale has an observatory at Johannesburg. There also is a prospect of a third American institution being represented in Africa, for it is known that the well-known Mount Wilson Solar Observatory has been investigating the possibilities of Southwest Africa as a possible center for astronomical study.—New York World. Flapper of Egypt Found CAIRO, May 19.—Princess Hesipheron, a slapper of ancient Egypt, had robbed hair and a permanent wave, judging from her portrait, carved in stone in a tomb at Glen. The Boston-Harvard expedition found the relief of the Princess, which showed she had yellow hair cut in the most approved modern fashion, when it found the tenets of Hesipheron and Queen Morenaunka, both children of the celebrated Cheops. HEALTH TOPIC8 By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Preventing Tuberculosis Four things are essential in curing tuberculosis: rest, fresh air, sunlight and good food. And these four things are of the greatest importance in preventing tuberculosis also. Tuberculosis is most apt to attack those people who allow their general resistance to become lowered; that is to say, those people whose physical condition is not up to par. One of the first things to do to keep your general resistance high is to get sufficient rest. For most people this means at least eight hours of sleep every night. Practically no one can work all day and then play hard, or study, or do some other work, until late at night, and expect to keep his health for long. It does not pay to "burn the candle at both ends," for sooner or later you must pay with your health. Another important factor in preventing tuberculosis in good food—wholesome, nourishing food. Everyone should have a diet which supplies the various kinds of foods to the body, in order to keep it in good condition and to repair the tissues which are broken down in the process of living. We all need fats, carbohydrates (sugars, starch in potatoes, bread, corn) proteins (found in milk, butter, cheese, rice and eggs), vitamins (abundant in oranges, tomatoes, most fresh vegetables, milk and butter) and mineral salts, contained in most vegetables. Then, after we have made certain to get enough rest and good food, we must be sure to have plenty of fresh air and sunlight. This means sleeping with our windows open and getting outdoors just as often and for just as long as possible. Add to these a sufficient amount of exercise, and you have a good recipe for a life of healthy living. Legislation for Negro Youth WASHINGTON, May 23—Bills relating to juvenile delinquents, juvenile courts, detention homes, industrial schools and offenses against children were introduced in a number of States at their 1927 legislative sessions, but with the exception of Texas, which approved a juvenile training school for Negroes, all welfare legislation affecting Negro youth has consistently failed in the strong Democratic States. In northern States, of course, where segregation does not exist, the welfare legislation enacted is equally applicable to both races. In Alabama a bill to provide a State training school for colored delinquent girls was introduced and reported favorably by the committee, but will not be taken from the calendar to be acted upon until the summer session. Arizona authorized the establishment of a State school for delinquent girls, but failed to pass a bill to establish an industrial school for colored children. Missouri passed a bill reserving the Missouri reformatory for boys under 21 (formerly men up to 30 were admitted), but a bill to establish a State reformatory for Negro boys under 18 failed.—C. P. B. Why They Migrate WASHINGTON, May 35.—After having studied the report of the Commissioner of Education for the State of South Carolina, it is easy to understand why so many of the most progressive colored citizens of the younger generation are leaving the Palmetto State. According to the report, the average salary paid the white male teachers during the school year 1925-1926 was $1,513, as compared with $385 for the colored male teachers. White female teachers received an average salary of $500 as compared with $291 for the colored female teachers. Schools for white children numbered 1,921, with a total value of $30,466,316 for grounds, buildings and equipment, while schools for colored children numbered 2,385, having a total value of $3,445,524. The report also shows 447 one teacher schools for the white and 1,592 for the colored; two-teacher schools, white, 574; colored, 512; three-teacher schools, white, 293; colored, 115; more than three-teacher schools, white, 607; colored, 166. There were 21 white pupils per teacher and the expenditure was $80.55 per pupil. In the colored schools there were 38 pupils per teacher, with an average expenditure of $10.20 per pupil. White teachers numbered 8,615; colored, 4,228. "Lynch Him!" in New York On a subway platform the other day, a Negro stabbed a man, and immediately the crowd began to yell "Lynch him!" Then appeared on the scene Patrolman Gosselin of the East thirty-fifth street station, and in a decisive manner he collared the Negro, who had already been cuffed around considerably, and hauled him off to the station house. The incident is of interest to all who give any attention to the lynching problem. The temper of the crowd unquestionably was ugly. Had it been dealt with half-heartedly, as many a county sheriff deals with a crowd there is no telling what might have happened. But one revolute New York cop settled the whole freaks in a few seconds. The difference is that the county sheriff secretly has a suspicion that his prisoner is going to be lynched, anyhow, and thus is licked before he appears on the steps of the jail. But the New York cop hasn't the faintest notion that his prisoner is going to be lynched, and hence when he faces a crowd he means business. One could wish for a few Patrolman Gosselin stationed at strategic points throughout the country. THROUGH BLACK SPECTACLES The parole board has recommended that Warren T. McCray, former governor of Indiana, be paroled from Atlanta penitentiary. Mr. McCray is serving a ten-year sentence for using the mails to defraud and is eligible for parole in August when one-third of his term is ended. The attorney-general has intimated that he would act soon on the recommendation of the parole board. Friends of the former governor urged executive clemency for him because of ill health. Out in California a relentless campaign is being waged by the Civil Liberties Union, and her friends, for the release of Miss Anita Whitney, prominent club woman, sentenced to prison for violation of the anti-syndicalism law of that State. The campaign is gathering national momentum daily as hundreds of distinguished citizens join in the pardon appeal. From Washington we learn that Earl Carroll of New York may never set foot in Atlanta prison to which he was sentenced for perjury in connection with his famous bathtub escape. Friends of the showman were successful in getting the Department of Justice to send a group of physicians to examine him in Greenville, S.C. where he is recuperating from a nervous breakdown. Marcus Garvey, dean of leaders of the Negro race, an advocate of world peace and a friend of all humanity, lies ill in Atlanta prison, where he is confined because he dared to show black men the path to freedom and independence. The immediate release of Garvey is more important to civilization than that of Warren T. McCray, Anita Whitney, Earl Carroll, and Sazce and Vanzetti. World peace depends upon the quality of treatment meted out to the leaders of oppressed race and the sympathy and co-operation extended to them in their struggle to be masters of their own destiny. Garveyites should gather inspiration in their agitation for the freedom of their revered leader from the courageous efforts being put forth by other people to win justice for their own. There must be no let up on our part, the injustice is too rank for that. Let us "spread confusion ever o'er the advocates of might," in demanding our leader's release. For Garvey to remain in prison, for his days to end there, would cinch the age-worn argument that black men have no confidence in the leadership of black men. Garvey is justly entitled to his freedom. The task is cure; we must complete it or step harping on our manhood and intelligence. The "Manchester Guardian" says: "Hitherto, in almost every considerable South African town, two spectacles have presented themselves—on the one side the trim, well-kept European settlement; on the other, as far away as possible, a miserable, squallid collection of horrible hovels called the native location. Its people have been without political power and without municipal or any other power, except the crim power which comes to it when pestilence breaks out. And of late years there has been a tendency to adopt the same pernicious principle in the settlements of the west coast. "The common fool, who thinks, or at least says, that all Africans are alike, all at the same stage, and all incapable of adopting for themselves the good points of our civilization, would, if he wishes to retain his theory, do well to avoid West Africa, with its African lawyers, doctors, teachers, editors and officials, its independent traders, not a few of whom live in houses well built and in the European style, who import British motor cars, and whose general advancement in life has meant and is meaning 'big business' to British manufacturers and British merchants." Daring, foolish, reckless youth has won again. Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, intrepid American airman, has flown across the Atlantic alone from New York to Paris in 33 hours. But yesterday unknown, save as an ordinary citizen of the United States, today this unassuming young man of 25 from out the Middle West has become the first citizen of the world. His youthful breast, heaving with a consciousness of work well done, is none too small to hold the honors all nations justly rush to pin upon it. Since the dawn of creation humanity has kept in reserve unlimited honors for those who, in the face of potent odds, accomplish the seemingly impossible. After ten hours of well-deserved rest our young hero awoke to find that the world is his parish. In 23 hours this idol of the gods rose from the depths of obscurity to the summit of immortality. Who is not thrilled by this marvelous victory of man over nature, of mind over matter? Who is not inspired, moved to tears of joy by the excellency which hallows the triumph of Lindbergh over the turbulent Atlantic? His own story of how he made history is related with the simplicity and beauty of unconscious genius. Here is a story that will transform weaklings into men and cowards into heroes. Civilization is thrice blessed in the rude awakening this prince of men has given to it. As for the race of which I am a member, it should profit much from the lessons left behind by the accomplishment of Captain Lindbergh. There was a goal to be reached, a thorough knowledge of the dangers before it acquired, qualifications completed to make it; there was a will to succeed and patriotism to inspire that will. All the elements of organization and efficiency were injected into this historic flight. Nothing was left to luck, chance or superstition. Our hero had a practical goal that could only be reached by practical preparedness. Human endurance, physical prowess, self-control and mental superiority—Captain Lindbergh made clear their places in the scale of human endeavor. Whether we be white men or black men, Chinese or Indian, civilized or uncivilized, there is an indescribable instinct that makes us realize that we are children of the same Father and citizens of the same world; that the triumph of one child is the triumph of the whole family, and that we are all possessed with that degree of love for bravery and heroism which makes our interests one. The spanning of the Atlantic by Captain Lindbergh was more than a big adventure, it was a firm reminder that God intended us to be brothers, not strangers, friends, not enemies. The arrival of Lindbergh in Paris was like the visit of an angel. In the mad rush to welcome and honor him a world, torn asunder for centuries by jealousies, prejudices and misunderstandings, found itself. War debts were forgotten, racial ties were discarded, national feelings, religious boundaries, and social standards gave way to the spirit of love and brotherhood. Lindbergh the American, became Lindbergh the winged messenger of peace and good will. Have you a son? Then you are slothful in parental efficiency if you hesitate to tell him the story of gallant Lindbergh. And, don't forget, ye sons of Africa, the world waits to honor you even as it has done a great and worthy American. Shall we wait if vain?

It is the invention of a young Nebraska railroader who used to live on a farm and got so sick and tired of following a plough day after day that he deserted the farm and took up railroading. Briefly, the improvement, when attached to a plough, permits the farmer to start the machine on a 40-acre field and then go on about some other business. The plough will go on ploughing all by itself until it finishes that field. Then it will stop. Will Keep Going Or the attachment can be hitched to a self-binder and started on an 80-acre field of ripe wheat. That self-binder will keep right on going around that field until the grain is all nicely out. The farmer can go to a movie, to church, or to bed when he gets ready, but the machine will just keep on going all night and all day until it finishes its job. All that it needs is gasoline, oil and water. Its inventor claims it will revolutionise farming, cut out the "hired hand" and illuminate the great army of Minerant harvesters who annually "follow the harvest" from Oklahoma up to and over the Canadian border every summer. The new machinery is an attachment which is made to the steering wheel of a tractor, which will cause the tractor exactly to follow a furrow which has been previously cut. This tractor drags the ploughs or other machinery after it. As long as there is a furrow to follow, the tractor keeps to its work. All that is necessary is that the farmer plough the first furrow. If, for any reason, the attachment gets out of the furrow the tractor automatically stops. The attachment consists of two or three pieces of wood, a few bolts, a spring and a piece of aluminum shaped like a huge spoon. This spoon runs smoothly along the furrow and "does the business." The whole thing weighs but a few pounds and costs but a few dollars. Instructors at the Agricultural College say it is to revolutionize farming as carried on today. The inventor is F. L. Zybach, thirty-two-year-old inspector of motor cars for the Union Pacific Railroad.

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TRAINED ALONG RACE LINES SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY! that he get his first idea of his invention. At that time he made a crude machine cut of a couple of pieces of gas pipe, a piece of heavy tin, several boards and some copper thumb tacks. His crude machine worked, but the first night he left it by itself to plough a field all night the neighbors came over about midnight and demanded that he stop the thing, for fear it would get loose and wander over the neighborhood. He cut it off for that night and invited the neighbors over to see it work the next day. When they saw how the "self-ploughing" machine worked they were enthusiastic over it. Tired of Farming That summer Zybach got tired farming and went to railroading as inspector of motor cars for Union Pacific and paid no more attention to his "self-ploughing" plough. But during the winter just passed he made several changes in the "get up" of his machine and then asked the State Agricultural College for permission to demonstrate it on the college grounds. On a farm near his home in Grand Island, Zybach last week was ploughing an 80-acre, field with the machine. At least, he turned his machine loose on the 80-acre field and then went to the farm house and let the thing alone. A farmer, passing along the highway, stopped his automobile, got out and went into the field to see what it was. He afterwards explained he thought the driver had fallen from his seat and had been injured. The farmer followed the machine all the way around the field, looking for the injured driver. The demonstration at the agricultural college was a complete success. Zybach first ploughed a furrow around a 40-acre field, making the corners rounding instead of square. Then he turned the thing loose and away it went, making the turns with absolute precision. At lunch time the entire party left the field. When they returned an hour later that plough was going along like clockwork. At dark Zybach filled up the tank with gasoline, added oil and filled the radiator with water. The next morning it was still at work. Gasoline, oil and water again were added and the machine kept on until Zybach climbed into the seat and brought it to a stop. The experts at the school say it is the greatest thing for the farmers in a hundred years. London's Nobility Row Is to Be Auctioned LONDON.—Adelphi Terrace, where live British intellectuals like G. Bernard Shaw, Sir James Barrie and Lord Weir, is to be sold at auction on June 21. With it will go Robert street, the greater part of John street and other portions of the Adelphi estate—in all about two acres of beautiful valuable land in the heart of London. The property, owned by G. H. Drummond, is freehold and will be available with vacant possession in 1932. Adelphi Terrace was built more than 150 years ago by the Adam brothers, famous Scottish architects, who came to London in 1762 and saw the possibilities of reclaiming the waste land which then lay between the Strand and the river. Obtaining a lease from the duke of St. Albans—then in prison in Brussels for debt—for $6,000, they raised the money for building their stately terraces by means of a public lottery. It is said that the terrace was modeled after the palace of Diocletian overlooking the Bay of Spalato. SHE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1827 AFRICAN HUNT FILMS TO BE PUT IN MUSEUM Martin Johnson, who returned to the United States last week with Mrs Johnson from a visit of three and one-half years in Eastern and Central Africa where they hunted big game with a camera, was busy yesterday cutting and preparing 200,000 feet of motion pictures and 7,000 still photographs on which they recorded their hunt. Most of the record was made on the shores of a lake in the Abyssinian border which the Johnsons named Paradise Lake. Hither, from a country that was desert, great numbers of wild animals came for water and forage. The party built huts and waited, as Mr. Johnson said in an interview on his arrival, for the game. There were many lions, elephants and rhinoceros, particularly elephants, which showed great fondness for sweet potatoes in the Johnson garden, and lions which had never heard a rifle shot and were fearless of men. Mr. Johnson said he made pictures of them easily with his still and motion picture cameras while Mrs. Johnson stood nearby with a rifle to shoot if necessary. The rifle, he said, was used only rarely, and the pictures showed the animals serene and unsupled. Mr. Johnson will seal the original negatives of the expedition and deposit them in the American Museum of Natural History. Their next expedition, which they expect to take soon, will be into the Congo to make pictures of the gorilla, the habits of which are still little known to scientists, and of the okapi, a curious animal which they said seemed to be a combination of giraffe and zebra and which had never been photographed. Amazing Discoveries By Science Predicted MILWAUKEE, May 30.—The world is on the threshold of amazing discoveries, not alone in the field of natural sciences but of social sciences as well. Max Mason, president of the University of Chicago, told the American Society for Steel Treating last night. "In the field of physics scientists are on the verge of working out a super-Newton equation to define laws of motion for electrified particles which are units of matter," he declared. "This equation will explain the correlation which exists between actions in one place and actions in another. "Jiggle an atom and every other atom in the universe, somehow, some time, jiggle in response. Call it radiation—call it what you will. Stub your toe here on earth and Mars feels it, and later on the earth responds to the reaction of Mars."

Subject of Essay in Nationwide Student Contest, Winners of Which Are Announced ATLANTA, Ga., May 23.—The Commission on Interracial Co-operation today announced the following as the winners in its nation-wide contest among high school students: First and second prizes, George M. Clarke and Robert A. Armistead, of Cleburne, Texas; third prize, Ruth Elliott Reid of Forest City, N. C. The prizes were, respectively, fifty, thirty and twenty dollars. The winning papers were chosen by a committee of three judges who had no knowledge of the identity of the authors. The subject assigned was "Negro Progress Since the Civil War." Nearly three hundred papers were submitted in the contest, representing 133 schools in twenty-one states. Russian Children Named After Political Parties MOSCOW.—An entirely new and revolutionary series of pronouns have been adopted by the Bolsheviks in the christening of their new-born children. Instead of the old conventional names of Sergius, Peter, Ivan, Olga, Alexander, Catherine and Elizabeth, children of Communists nowadays are named after some great revolutionary leader, party, industry or political movement, or even after some town, river or song in Soviet Russia. For example, many infants of Bolshevik parents are "baptized" Communist, Proletarian, Industria, or Stalin, after Joseph Stalin, the big political boss of Soviet Russia. Others are given names based upon Russian nouns and adjectives possessing a special significance in the present revolutionary movement. "Liberatta" (Liberty), for instance, is a name commonly given to baby girls, and in similar fashion, baby boys are often named "Liberi" (Free). Hawaii Refuses to Repeal Anti-Footbinding Law HONOLULU—Existence of a law prohibiting the binding of the feet of Chinese baby girls in Hawaii was well nigh forgotten until the present session of the Territorial Legislature. Yew Char, newly-elected member, who is of full Chinese ancestry, but a full-fledged American citizen, has revived memory of the old law with a bill to repeal it. "The law isn't necessary." Char declaimed on the floor of the House of Representatives, "for the Chinese don't bind the feet of girls now. And they quit it in China, too, for over there the women need good flat feet to run away when one of those generals starts something." Char's bill did not get by, however, his colleagues considering it unnecessary legislation and tabling it by a large vote. So the law is still on the books along with other ancient statutes such as those which in a more primitive day prohibited the Hawaiian practice of "praying to death." DR. HAYNES URGES UNDERSTANDING IN RACIAL RELATIONS OMAHA, Neb., May 26.—A sympathetic understanding of personality is the greatest factor or consideration of racial relations, declared Dr. George E. Haynes, of New York City, before the National Council of the Congregational Church, meeting here tonight. Dr. Haynes is secretary of the church's commission on church and race relations. "Perhaps the greatest difficulty today," said Dr. Haynes, "is the fact that the white race has been entrusted so many centuries with dominant power over groups that it is difficult for white people to realize that there is personality in other races demanding and expecting recognition and respect equal to that which the white man seeks for himself. With the completion of its second day's work the council was well into the business activity of its biennial conference. The absorbing question: Shall Congregationalists unite with the Universalista?—even to giving up the name of the former—comes up for decision Monday morning. Such decision will follow the report of the committee on interchurch relations, headed by the Rev. Frank Sanders, of New York.

CHICAGO, HLL The impressive parade and mass meeting held by Chicago Division Sunday, May 22, was an unusually enthusiastic event. It was a special event in behalf of the release of our beloved President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey. The nearby divisions of Gary, Ind.: Indiana Harbor, West Chicago, Chicago Heights and Robbins, Illinois, participated in the affair. We are still laboring zealously in the hope that justice will eventually prevail in behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The principles of Negro Nationalism in Africa, as sponsored by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, are claiming wider and wider attention among all thoughtful Negroes. More and more it is being looked upon as the only salvation of our benighted race. And it is the consensus of opinion in all quarters that nothing could help the organization or the race as a whole at this time as would the immediate release of the founder and president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Hon. Marcus Garvey. All auxiliarities were well represented in the parade in their colors and uniforms. There were large banners bearing mottoes for our Chief's release, distributed from one end of the long procession to the other. The parade disbanded at the Coleman School, where a monster mass meeting was held and an elaborate program rendered. The meeting was called to order by the president, Hon. E. B. Knox, who, after the opening ceremonies were concluded, rendered an unusually masterful address. The welcome address was delivered by Hon. R. E. Ephralm, after which the front page article of The Negro World was read by the executive secretary, Hon. H. Balfour Williams. The address of the evening was delivered by former representative, Hon. Wm. E. King. President E. G. Steward, of the Gary Division, and Hon. G. B. Pickens, of the West Chicago Division, represented their respective divisions on the program.

James Haxlewood, James Campbell, Ben Sumlin and the exsecretary general, Hon. Wm. A. Wallace. During the course of the meeting a resolution was unanimously passed directing the executive secretary to draft a resolution asking the President to release the Hon. Marcus Garvey from the Atlanta Federal prison immediately. The president of our division, Hon. E. B.

Varona, al que asistió una selecta concurrencia. Entre los números del variado programa, fue muy aplaudido el "Zapateo Cubano," composición original del Sr. Varona. Su señora esposa estuvo muy acertadísima en su acompañamiento al piano. Luis Varona es un escogido. No importa que Varona no haya pasado por ese proceso consagratriz que ha dado fama y gloria a los Sarasate, Chevalier de Salas, Figueroa, Kressler, etc. La técnica natural adquirida por Varona al dominar su arco y caja resonante, es originalisima, habiendo la critica de los maestros héchole justicia, situándolo a la misma altura de estos consagrados. Varona es un artista modesto. Todo genialidad y sutileza. Lo mismo interpreta con maestria insuperable las dificilisimas composiciones de las cumbres del clasicismo, como ejecuta con emotividades muy cuellas la musica de su Cuba, do su originalidad es única, riendo con Cuba, gimiendo con Cuba, anforando con Cuba a la cual tanto ama. Lamentamos que la colonia de habla española, no haya correspondido en el primer concierto, con la asistencia moral y material que merece el sublime Varona. Quizas no conocian al artista.

La travésía del Atlántico a traves de los tiempos En el año 1492, Cristobal Colon tardó sesenta y nueve días en cruzar el Atlantico; el primer vapor que cruzó desde Savannah a Liverpool en el 1819, se tardó veinte y siete dias; en 1924 el vapor Mauretania batió el record, tardando cinco días, una hora y cuarenta minutos desde Nueva York a Cherbourg; el dirigible Los Angeles en su viaje desde Alemania a America, tardó ochenta y una hora y diez minutos; pero todos estos records se han desvanecido cuando recientement el joven Charles Lindbergh, voló desde Nueva York a Paris en treinta y tres horas y veinte y nueve minutos.

Tomemos como lección el ejemplo de Lindbergh. Su determinación y confianza en sí mismo. Posibilidad de la redención de Africa. Marcus Garvey, un hombre del tipo de Lindbergh Carlos Lindbergh. Un joven de veinte y cinco años; un nórdico. Su nombre y fama vivirá siempre en la mente de todos, especialmente en la mente de los hombres blancos, por volar desde Nueva York a Paris, solo, en un monoplano, capturando el poder imaginativo del mundo entero. Suya fue la temeridad, la audacia, lo estupendo y extraordinario de su vuelo; de tal manera, que en este momento recibe los honores mas encomendados de los emperadores, de los nobles y de los grandes. La adulación y admiración que le rodea son sinceras; sentimientos expontáneos de su gran arrojo. No es ello el resultado de una labor propagandista, ni mucho menos la aclamación envalentonada, que le dan las huestes encasilladas en los moldes del negocio, glorificando una epopeya que simbolize una expresión mercantilista. Lindbergh triunfo por si propio y su valor es tangible y positivo. Todo negro deberia encontrar inspiración de verdadero encause constructivo, en el brillante acontecimiento aviatriz, realizado por el "Flying Fool" tal como el Capitan Lindbergh, el valiente, ha sido nominado por sus camaradas. Aquí tenemos a un joven con confianza ilimitada en si mismo; quien comprendió al pie de la letra el significado de las palabras "con Dios todo es posible." El se vió hechura e imagen del Creador, con las cosas posibles dentro de sí y juró conquistar el espacio y los elementos. Como Daedalus, Lindbergh ensayó sus pies con alas, para traspasar un oceano y tuvo éxito en la empresa que él mismo se impusiera llevar a cabo. Y ahora todo el mundo le rinde homenaje. Su nombre esta escrito imperecederamente en el salon de fama. La virtud se da al mito de la superioridad blanca. El joven Lindbergh tiene las felicitaciones de todo corazon del Negro World. Cuando otros de su raza, creidos en mejor condición para el vuelo que el, luchaban, renfian y discutian sobre los términos monetarios que dicha empresa redundaria, alimentando así el monstruo de la publicidad, el, Lindbergh, pasando por encima de estas mezquindades, montó en su aereoplano y voló hacia Europa. Nungesser y Coli, famosos héros de la Francia, murieron atentando la misma proeza; pero Lindbergh no se atemorizó y triunfó como se le es dado a pocos triunfar. ¡Qué lección para la raza negra da este ejemplo que hace época! La máxima es muy sencilla: Le fe moverá las montañas; le fe, la confianza o la voluntad de hacer o morir en la demanda. De la misma manera que Lindbergh y su "Espíritu de San Luis" se dieron al aire, después de sostenernos sin respiración, corriendo a lo largo sobre el enfangado campo de donde saliera, he aquí lo que los "expertos" dijeron: "Tiene un noventa y nueve por ciento en contra." La agencia de Lloyd consideró que era un atrevido riesgo. El New York Evening Graphic, el periódico que nos da ejemplo de mas atrevidas venturas en el mundo, fuera de su astuto, nauseante espíritu de oportunismo, redobló sus esfuerzos por hacerle creer al público, que el proyecto de Lindbergh fracasaria. Y fue mas allá, estableciendo bases fundamentales para que fuese arrestado por el gobierno, por ser su proyecto mas que absurdo; preparándose así dicho periódico para sorprender la candidez tanto del público como del "Flying Fool" con un "yo se los dije." Pero la juventud no se-desmayó; y Lindbergh, atrevido y determinado, siguió volando, traspasó el Atlántico y llegó a Paris. Esta gran hazana aerea presenta un ejemplo a todo nuestro elemento, especialmente a los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Hace ocho años Marcus Garvey, un hombre del tipo de Lindbergh, vino a Norte America y fundó una organización y promulgó el evangelio de Africa para los africanos. Lastimó los callos de poderosos blancos y pusilánimes negros. Le detuvieron y fue encerrado en una prisión. Los "expertos" declaran que Africa para los africanos, no pasará de ser un dicho; que ningun sentido de justicia tomará cuerpo, ni ningun derecho conseguirá la libertad de Marcus Garvey de la prisión en que se encuentra, hasta no haber cumplido los cinco años que el dictum de la corte le impusiera. Negros, ignorad a los "expertos," tomando una página del libro de Lindbergh. Con el HOMBRE todas las cosas son posibles. El Africa puede ser redimida y el Africa será redimida. Marcus Garvey puede ser libertado; mas Marcus Garvey tiene que ser libertado. Toda asperación que mantenga lo contrario, no tiene explicación. Cojed la experiencia de lo hecho y la determinación de vencer o morir del espíritu del Capitan Lindbergh, y podeis estar seguros que rápidamente llevareis a la realización los anhelos de vuestros corazones. Muerto a halazen en una plaza pública Acusado-de asalto por Ella Henderson (la disculpa de siempre) William Sherod fue atado de pies y manos a un patibulo provisional, construido en la plaza pública de Braggadoic. en el estado de Missouri, y acribillado a balazos. Sherod fue sorprendido mientras dormia, y al tratar de escaparse fue herido en un brazo y en un hombro, trasladandosele luego a la carcel de Caruthersville, a quince millas de Braggadoic. Un grupo de unos cien hombres procedentes de Braggadoic, se presento en dicha carcel cerca de la media noche, y sin gran resistencia sacaron a Sheron, llevandolo al lugar donde fue asesinado por los disparos del grupo que le secuestro. Al siguiente dia los residentes de aquel lugar presenciaron una horrible vision. El cadaver estaba todavía colgado del patibulo en medio de la plaza, esperando la llegada de las autoridades del condado para empezar la investigación del sacrilegio cometido. Los empleados de la carcel manifestaron que no pudieron hacer resistencia ante el gran nimero de personas, quienes armadas amenzaban con la muerte, si no se les entregaba el prisionero. Ya han transcurridos varios días y aun no se ha averiguado quienes fueron los directores de tan horrendo crimen, apesar de haberse consumado en la plaza publica. Cooperando con el espíritu nacionalista chino Los rojos, soldados del soviet ruso, han tomado una participación notable en la actual contienda civil, cooperando con los nacionalistas chinos para rechazar los ejércitos del general Feng. Los ejércitos nacionalistas chinos se hallan equipados con los ultimos elementos modernos de guerra, bien uniformados, racionados a conciencia y en el mejor de los espiritus, en mercado contraste con las hordas vandalicas del norte, las que han dejado una estela de humo y sangre*a surpiso por las infortunadas ciudades que se han opuesto a sus derradaciones. La ciudad de Shanghai, el pintoresco y floreciente puerto chino, aparece actualmente casi desierta, una vez retirada de sus fronteras la ingente lucha en que se hallan empleados los dos partidos de la revolución china; los conservadores tradicionales y los reformadores o sea miembros del partido nacionalista chino, el cual sigue las normas trazadas por aquel ilustre patriota y primer presidente el Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

HUNTSMAN'S WIFE TALKS OF AFRICA Lives in Splendor in Nairobi, Africa—"More Afraid of Civilization Than the Jungle," She Says Charging lions and wild elephants were not enough to divert Mrs. Osa Johnson's mind from her cosmetics. Mrs. Johnson admitted this without a blush when she and her husband, Martin Johnson, told about their four years in Africa, whence they returned recently. They were at the American Museum of Natural History. But regardless of Mrs. Johnson's wish to "remain pretty enough to keep my husband, to whom I have been married seventeen years," the "lady of the hand-mirror" had the presence of mind to save her husband's life on two occasions. Once while Mr. Johnson, an expert photographer of wild game, was photographing a seemingly peaceful elephant the beast charged at him. Mrs. Johnson, a crack shot, placed a bullet squarely between the animal's eyes. Another elephant which charged at her husband met a similar fate. With his life (still carrying her vanity case), Mr. Johnson and a staff of two hundred natives settled down to the task of obtaining the first complete pictorial record of the life and habits of the lion. Their efforts were successful and the climax came after three years of hard work. "The Death Lion" One of the most treacherous and bloodthirsty lions known in the plains country of East Tanganyika district began to prey on a native village and its flocks. A large hunt, with spear, gun and camera, began. Ten months later the spears won, in the presence of the camera. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson remarked yesterday that the beast Kufa Simba, the Death Lion, gave his life for the sake of science. The threatened immediate extinction of the lion as a menace to both native and wild life and as the most sought trophy of the ever-increasing hosts of sportsmen, Mr. Johnson said, made it immediately necessary to perpetuate the lion in pictures. "Were you frightened?" Mrs. Johnson was asked. "No!" she replied emphatically. "We've been married seventeen years and have spent all but two years-of that time in the wilds of the tropica." She tossed her head, "I'm more frightened of civilization than I am of the jungle." Just reading the career of Mrs. Johnson and her husband would give the impression that they are two leather-necked, sun-dried and browned persons, whose prolonged stay in the jungle had made them laconic. They are the direct opposite of that. Hunter and Wife Off Duty During the interview Mrs. Johnson wore a little peach-colored frock, Parisian, with a dainty tailored coat and hat. Her shoes and hose matched her costume and gave her a chic appearance. Far from sun-burned, her complexion is peach and cream, preserved by the strict observance of a careful, daily toilet each morning and night. "My husband can weld a pair of shears as well as a risa." Mrs. Johnson said. "He bobs my hair and keeps it neatly trimmed. Never, not even for one day, have I failed to wave my hair. I watch my supply of cosmetics as carefully as I watch our supply of provisions. "At first I had difficulty in keeping the Negro women from stealing my powder, but I put my foot down on that theft, because powder was necessary, for my husband's sake. Who could love a woman with a shiny nose? Even in Africa, I can't forget that still I have to be good looking for the same man, although, goodness knows there is hardly contrast where there are no other white women around." "Were you afraid to be among so many Negro men as you had on your staff?" she was asked. "Not at all." Mrs. Johnson retorted. "I'd be afraid with as many white men on the staff. African Negro servants look upon a white woman as something to respect and almost worship. They are the most loyal people in the world and I have remained alone with them as long as four months at a time while Mr. Johnson went on trips alone. Clean Sheets in Jungle "No matter how far from civilization we are, I observe all the little decencies of civilized people. We have never camped without having clean sheets on our cots. I have never gone on a hunt without carrying my compact in my trousers' pocket. My husband and I have always had a variegated menu and set a decent meal wherever we happened to be. "I love to cook." Mrs. Johnson said, "but I could never be contented to be a housewife, cramped in by four walls. I could not bear to always be eating fish that other people were catching, and to be without my faithful black men. We're going to remain in America seven months and then return to our beloved Africa." The Johnsons have built an eighth-room house in Nairobi, Africa, a settlement of about 2,000 inhabitants, mostly white. The house has all modern conveniences and is surrounded by a four-acre English lawn. Seventeen Negro servants care for the place. BIGGEST OF RUBBER CROPS MANILA. This year's output of rubber in Mindanao will be the biggest in the history of the industry in the Philippines, according to the American and Basilan rubber companies. Many young trees will be tapped for the first time this year. The Basilan has 62,000 ready, while the American will tap a total of 173,000. The estimated production by the two companies for 1927 will be about 250,000 kilo, as compared with 200,000 kilo in 1936. The Basilan products will be shipped to British firms at Singapore, while the products of the American company will be sold at San Francisco. The consensus of opinion among Philippine legislators who recently returned to Manila from a trip through the southern islands is that there is no need to amend the present land laws, with rubber cultivation profitable under the present limitations. 1.289.000 Russians Idle MOSCOW.—A recent report to the Labor Commissariat is that there are 1,259,000 unemployed in Russia. The flocking of peasants to the cities is blamed. Presents DO YOUR BEST MRS.

All-Colored Musical Comedies For Harlem-Then Broadway An announcement of unusual interest to residents of Harlem comes from the office of Ernest Pollock, stage director, play reader and theatrical producer at 1482 Broadway. It states that rehearsals of an all-colored company of 26 actors and actresses has begun for a series of musical comedies to be given in this section of the city, the first public performance of which will be given within a few weeks. Mr. Pollock's company will be a permanent organization, which, according to present plans, will present a new musical show every three weeks. Thought productions which merit it will be moved down to a Broadway theatre following their Harlem engagement. The first production, rehearsals for which are already under way, will be "Buenos Noches," which is described as a miniature "Rio Rita," and in which several Harlem favorites will have parts. Pollock himself wrote the book of this musical piece, the scene of which is set in Mexico with the colorful costumes and scenery native to that country. Albert Hackett and Warburton Gilbert wrote the lyrics and music. Pollock, who has been connected with many of the outstanding successes of Broadway, including "Hell's Bells," and many vaudeville hits, is personally directing the production. The theatre in which the new organization will be seen and heard is to be announced shortly.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM To the Editor of The Negro World: The two greatest characters of this century are Marcus Garvey and Charles Lindbergh. These two men have accomplished more than the whole civilized world put together, since the start of this century. Through their darling, will, and their do or die spirit, they have attracted the attention of the whole world. But the great difference between them is Marcus Garvey is a Negro and the white world and foolish Negroes laugh at him, accorn him, frame him and put him in prison to language and perpis die.

Germany Still Feels War "Hunger Blockade" BERLIN.—Effects of the ["hunger blockade" imposed upon Germany during the war have not yet been wiped out, Henry Hirtsleifer, Prussian Minister of Public Health, says in a survey upon which he based his request for an increase of 500,000 marks in appropriations to combat disease. for what Charles Lindbergh, the white man accomplishes the whole world bows and pays him homage. Charles Lindbergh deserves his homage, and everything which he may get for his accomplishment, and great courage likewise does Marcus Garvey deserve homage, credit and everything that any other human deserves. I call upon the Negroes of the world to get the do or die spirit like Mr. Garvey and Mr. Lindbergh and demand the release of Marcus Garvey from Atlanta prison. While the fact that 800,000 civilians died as a result of the blockade brought about a slight decrease in the death rate after the war, he said that the effects of undernourishment ten years ago has reduced the vitality of the people and impaired their power to resist disease. Unbelievers Impede Progress of Race Tuberculosis and typhoid fever, he said, have increased. The alarming decrease in the birthrate from 28 per thousand before the war to 20 per thousand last year was such, he said, that unless a concentrated effort was made to decrease infant mortality there would be no surplus of births over deaths. To the Editor of The Negro World: Through the Hon. Marcus Garvey our eyes have been opened and we are now able to see the many defects in Christianity as it is practiced by the white man toward the Negro. The bearers of the Christian message have blinded themselves and our people to the powers and virtues of the Negro. They have given him religion and have taught him that he needed nothing else in this world. Polluted drinking water sources and antiquated sewage disposal methods he blamed for the spread of typhoid, which in the Hannover epidemic alone caused more than 200 deaths. The epidemic was such a drain on the city treasury that a state loan of 3,000,000 marks was necessary to prevent a deficit. Marcus Garvey has come to us with the cry "Africa for the Africans" and has given us something more to look forward to. The Negro is no longer satisfied. Those Negroes who denounce Marcus Garvey and call his followers fools are very foolish themselves. They are rejecting the truth and so impeding the progress of the race. The darkness has passed. A new day is dawning for the Negro. Let us open our eyes and see the truth which shall make us free. DIVISION NEWS (Continued from page 6) 3 v. m., with the president in the chair. Due to the unfair weather the attendance was not as unusual. But nevertheless the spirit of Garveyism prevailed in full. New Orleans, La. Mrs. Mary Branham gave an uplifting talk on the imprisonment of our leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey. Mr. Wm. Allen made a few encouraging remarks bidding the members stick fast to the program of the U. N.

His address was full of logic and enthusiasm. Disgrace to Nation To the Editor of The Negro World: There must be some way to stop the horrible practice of peonage as it is practiced by the whites in the Mississippi delta. If one is to judge by the conditions now existing, there are many Negroes who hardly know that they are free. We, the officers and members of Sunflower Division, regret very much the condition that confronts our leader and chieftain, Hon. Marcus Garvey, and pray to the Almighty God for his speedy recovery, with the hope that he will soon be returned unto us. Negroes are practically held in bondage as the servants and laborers of the whites. If a man wants to change his place, he is not allowed to take anything with him except his clothes. It does not matter how long he has worked or what he has accumulated, all must be left behind. C. E. TILLMAN. Reporter. If a Negro appears who tries to enlighten the others, he either disappears over night or he is arrested and put into jail. Thus, those who would bring light to their brothers are silenced. It is the duty of the Negro in the North to agitate until this condition is thoroughly exposed, and perhap a remedy will come with publicity. BALTIMORE, MD. Mr. R. H.

JUNE 4. 1987 CAPETOWN.—What may prove to be a painting of the world's first jazz band has just been discovered on the roof of a cave near Fort Victoria, Rhodesia. Discovery of the painting was made by a former Indian army officer, P. Dimmock, while searching the cave for cattle which had strayed away from his farm and which he thought might have wandered into the cave. His find was reported to Dr. Impey, an authority on ancient art, who examined the painting and announced that it was a fine example of pure Egyptian art. The figures in the picture were from five to ten inches high and represented a group of musicians playing instruments bearing a great similarity to those used in a modern jazz band. Dr. Impey said that the figures could not have been made by native bushmen, and that the instruments represented as being played were entirely unlike the crude instruments used by and known to the bushmen. Local authorities are completely mystified by the painting, both as to how it came to be there and how long it has adorned the roof of the deserted cave. Baby Boy at Birth Valued at $9.333 The fact that we live longer than did our grandfathers is bringing us billions of dollars in cash, says a great insurance company, whose experts estimate that the total increase in earning power of American men and women in the present generation, or since 1901, is $3,500,000,000. This gain, they say in Popular Science Monthly, has been largely to the extension of life. In 1901 a baby boy at birth was considered to have a potential value of $7,553. By 1924 this value increased to $9,333. This gain also, they conclude, is due to expectation of longer life, with a consequent longer period of earning capacity.

KAPLAN The Kyneight Specialist RELIABLE AND REASONABLE EVER ENHANCED FREE 531 LENOK AVENUE NEW YORK (212) 655-8000 FITS FREE Proof Efficient Office Help Needed With the growth and expansion of race business in Birmingham there is in the problem of competent office help looming, not in the distance, but now. The practical certainty for the requirement of efficient help in the progress of a growing city should induce young people to get both training and experience along this line. Efficient clerical and secretarial help in the modern office is as essential for the success and increase of business as good managerial ability. The details of a business need always to be at the finger tips of intelligent and efficient clerical service. Some of the large number of young people coming outof high school at the close of each semester should turn their attention to clerical training and business administration. The demand might not be apparent to them but the certainty of increased business ventures among members of the race makes favorable opportunities in this field. At present, there is a shortage of efficient office help and the chance to recruit trained help of this kind is not at all promising. On the other hand, there is a large number of high school graduates at desultory employment, some trying to qualify as teachers and others without either plans or ambition further than to earn a livelihood at anything which happens to turn up. In normal times, there is always employment for well-trained efficient people who are neither too proud to work up nor too impatient to make themselves indispensable in the organization where they are employed.—Birmingham Reporter.

When the Darter was held at Agra, India, in February, 1907, in honor of the Amor of Afghanistan, Karl Kitchener, the English general, ordered the handmasters to play the Afghan national anthem on the arrival of the native potentiate, says the Detroit Free Press. No one had ever heard of such a tune and finally Kitchener was appealed to for further instructions. "It does not matter two straws," he replied, "as he does not know a note of music. Play two or three bars of something heavy, pompous and slow, and let it go at that." The bandmasters finally decided upon a march from one of the older German operas, very little known by the general public. This was played with such success that the newspapers of Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and other cities visited by the Ameer printed columns about the "welrdly beautiful Oriental strains of the Afghan national anthem." It has been used ever since at all royal functions at Cabul. Save Marcus Garvey New Before It Is Too Late GETTING UP NIGHTS THE DARLING OF PARIS A new charm for love and brazen.

LONDON, May 23.—A young Polish poet, Savicki, may be the first martyr to radio. Rediring from Warsaw to his estate in remote Poland, Savicki took with him a radio set. Polish peanuts grew suspicious of him when they realised that he was "sucking music out of the air." One midnight they smashed in his door, broke up the radio set, and beat Savicki into unconsciousness. He is not expected to live. QUICK HAIR GROWTH Box Free To You!
