No. 4 The Great Triumph of Marcus Garvey and the Cause Critics and Detractors of Yesterday Join Loyal Millions in Proclaiming Rectitude of the Man and His Program It is an old saying and a true one that Truth will get a hearing—Truth crushed to earth will rise again. We are impelled to this remark when we contemplate the remarkable attitude toward the persecution of the Hon. Marcus Garvey which has come to certain men and certain institutions here in America in recent days. Not only have they, while adding their voices to the chorus of appeal to the authorities for Mr. Garvey's release, been frank and strenuous in their condemnation of the orgy of chicanery and despair which placed the famous leader in a prison cell, but, with their special pleading have come belated, and so all the more striking, confessions of the correctness of the doctrines of the man, outspoken endorsement of the plans he formulated for the redemption of his race—a tardy but complete realization that happiness and progress and continued existence for the Negro race lay only along the trail that Garvey blazed. The fact of the matter is that the imprisonment of Marcus Garvey has benefited the Negro race to an extent and in ways which it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to approximate, were his arduous march up the heights not interrupted by the wiles of Judas and the peacock vanity of a crew to whose feathers he had applied more somber hues. Marcus Garvey, free, at the helm of the Universal Negro Improvement Association ship of state, thundering his message to the four corners of the world, making converts every minute, was an object of ill-concealed jealousy to almost every Negro who in the United States set his heart on leadership of the masses. Only a few brief years in the United States, comparatively a young man, he was regarded as an interloper, an upstart, a favorite of the three witches by every member of the Negro race who ever essayed to reach the high place he occupies in the minds and hearts of the people. The honest, but ill-equipped, among leaders said he must be a charlatan. The roguish looked with dismay upon the finale being so ably and thoroughly applied to their parasitic operations. Marcus Garvey stirred the souls of black men, showed them what real leadership meant, and trifler and trafficker connived to tarnish his name. White civilization's bias needed little invitation to be pressed into service. Marcus Garvey was seized, was ridiculed and then sent to mingle with criminals in a Southern prison. And then— The thing that the thoughtless dreamed did not materialize. Marcus Garvey had wrought too well. His followers stood firm. His name and fame spread at accelerated speed. His influence and strength increased. No one was able to capitalize, but had rather to rue, the incident of Marcus Garvey's imprisonment. To some came remorse; to others a feeling of hopelessness; to others still hesitating outside the gates, light and understanding. We now live in an hour when it is banal to say Marcus Garvey did no wrong. His most implacable enemies of yesterday avow it. His erstwhile critics concede it. And his friends revel in the incontrovertible proof of it. Africa for the Africans, at home and abroad. A government on the continent of Africa of, by and for Negroes. This is Garveyiam. This is gospel to millions. This today is psalm and psalter to high and low, rich and poor, literate and illiterate among Negroes.—THE EDITORS. 2 THE NEGRO WORLD) atURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1927 a es nee PP ere nie ee George of the Gutter KELLY MILLER STATES CASE FOR MARCUS GARVEY “°c. tave His” [FERRIS REVIEWS HISTORY OF NEGRO LEADERSHIP, aA = Fling —— ts Says Negro Race Should Join in One | Garvey and Du Bois It is easier for a camel to go]| Don’t You Think? | Shows Renaissance of Independent Spirit . cas or tnt Bots’ Pars Afeean Cone hrough the eye of a i George §.

North Carolina Man Nathaniel Macon, North Carolina's distinguished citizen and patriot, has been given a rather prominent place in the State's history, but historians have neglected to chronicle a great deal about Macon's friend, contemporary and neighbor, Welden Nathaniel Edwards, member of Congress and for more than forty years an active and prominent public official, says the Detroit News. Edwards began his public career in 1834, four years after being admitted to the bar. In that year he was elected to the State House of Commons and re-elected in 1816. The following year he was elected a Representative in Congress to succeed Macon, who was elevated to the Senate that year. Edwards served in Congress continuously until 1827, when he retired. In 1833 he was elected to the State Senate and served until 1844, and was sent to that body once more in 1850. He died in 1873.

AFRICAN CONGRESS TO ESTABLISH A LABOR BUREAU At Reconstruction Meeting Seeks to Insure Closer Co-operation Between Economic and Political Forces — Makes Petition for Marcus Garvey The annual convention of the African National Congress, which was held at Bloomfontein in July, was specially called for the reconstruction of the National Congress and for the election of new officers. Consequently it was deemed advisable that the convention should be held in camera. Besides the reconstruction work there were several matters of importance to be discussed. For instance, the convention dealt with the resolutions passed by the non-European conference held recently at Kimberley, which were unanimously indored. The convention on the whole was a great success. Proceedings were lively in that the delegates paid more attention to the constitution than to more talk. It was evident that $ \textcircled{3} $new spirit had been created and that every delegate wanted to see things done constitutionally. It was this spirit which brought about changes in the personnel of the Executive Committee when election time came. The following were some of the resolutions passed by the convention: (1) Whereas it is of vital importance to secure closer co-operation between our economic and political forces, and whereas this unity is lacking owing to the fact that Congress has not in the past delved deeply into the question of the conditions of the working class of the Bantu people: Be it resolved, therefore, in terms of section 141 (b) of the constitution, that a labor department with a secretariat under the control of the Executive Council of the African National Congress be formed, the same to be called the African Labor Congress. (2) That this convention views with alarm and consternation the hostile attitude taken by the Kroonstad District farmers and the Province of Natal toward the bona fide members of the I. C. U. as calculated to provoke a feeling of racial antagonism and friction. (2) The convention, further, is of opinion that unleas the Government takes steps in the direction of suppressing this iniquitous policy of brute THE NEGRO WORLD, 14th West 130th St. New York City.

EMIL LUDWIG IS NOT A GERMAN And His Name Is Said Not to Be Ludwig, but Cohn, and His Literary Standing is Protested To the Editor of The Negro World: As a German and a true friend of the Honorable Marcus Garvey permit me to draw your attention to an article which appeared in The Negro World of August 20, 1927, on page 5, under the heading: "German Biographer Seeks Carlyle's Grave." In the first place I wish to emphasize the fact that "Ernle Ludwig" is not of German blood, but is a Jew by the name Cohn, whose writings cannot be classified as graphic because they are, one and all, distortions and deliberate malicious slander. They are stories sucked out of fingers that must have been extremely dirty and filthy. If one has observed with what tremendous propaganda the books of Emil Ludwig (Cohn) have been spread over the entire world, and the naive of Americans in taking the works as non-partisan, his farcal documents, it behooves us to protest against the mud-slinging perfidy directed against our own best men, and possibly recommend instead the Essays of Book, the great Swedish historian, or the writings of German scholars. Kindly convey my best wishes to your President-General on his fortleth birthday. KARL NEUMEISTER. President of the Wod-Bund. 930 180th Street, New York. 23 Foot of Wire Removed From Man's Stomach BANGOR, Me.—Injudicious doses of hardware brought on an attack of indigestion for a man patient at the Bangor State Hospital. When doctors operated, Superintended H. J. Hedlin said, they removed a teaspoon and seventy bedspring links, each about four inches long—a total of more than twenty-three feet of wire—from the patient's stomach. "CLASH OF COLOR" REALLY A BATTLE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Black Men Must Not Be Deceived Possession of Power Alone JWM Solve Their Problem Economic Necessity Is Oppressor's Driving Force (From The Literary Digest) The menacing tide of the East rolling toward the West is not essentially driven by the hate of the white man for the man of color, we are told, or by the hate of the man of color for the white man. But what is happening in China, in Egypt, and what may happen in India and other countries of the dark man, it is said, are but superficial manifestations of a tremendous undercurrent, which has potentialities of both good and evil. This is the declaration of Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah, in the London Outlook, and it was brought forth by the recent meeting of the so-called Opprest Nationalities at Brussels, the Pan-Asiatic Conference at Nagasaki a year ago, the Pan-African Congress of Paris, the annual meetings of the Indian National Congress, and a host of other gatherings of protest. He tells us then: "The mere fact of the gathering of 176 delegates in the Mirror Gallery of Egmont Palace at Brussels as men of the Opprest Nations is a sufficient proof of the existence of an current revolt of the colored against the white dominance of the world. Chen Shuen of the Hongkong Canton strike committee, Laguma, a tall-blooded Zulu, Shamal Nahru, shallow-complexioned Kashmir Pandit from India, Egyptians, South Africans, and Lamina Senghor, a Senegalese Negro, defiantly holding up their heads among others, were a representative crowd enough. They spoke different tongues, but their thoughts were focused on a single battle-cry of intense antagonism in the Western dominance." Returning to what he calls the "clash of color," this observer questions whether it is correct to suppose that the white man is the symbol of advancement because he is white, and not because his education, resources, and mentality are manifestly greater than those possessed by the dark man? It is really begging the question to set down such queries, but, we are told: "A most important fact emerges out of this tangled discussion, for arguing backward one arrives at the irrefutable idea that the root cause of all the struggle of the human race is deeply implanted in the desire to acquire wealth. "There is not a single war that has been fought even in the civilized world but its origin can be directly traced to economic expansion. And since the pioneers of the new world in Europe seem not to have rid themselves of this stigma, their frequent clashes with awakening Asia are natural. The struggle is simply an item in the great economic scheme of 'farming the world.' Whosoever is more able to further this scheme must inevitably remain the superior. The weaker man through sheer biological causes must go to the wall. I do not, however, take weakness or strength in the physical sense here, for in the sphere of commerce and industry it is the ability to 'farm the land,' and means to do it, that count, and violent brute force has no chance. Queen of Hair Dressings Pluko Price BO4 can be brought about when the future of many lives will whirl around an over-increasing economic competition. This is also a point against the Battleship theory of world revolution. "From what has been said before the label of the "Oppressed Nations," which the above-mentioned congreg employed during its deliberation, bears its real meaning. In the world of today, and more especially of tomorrow, every man must possess an economic value; if he does not, then the one who possesses it will and must supersede him, and all the fine phrases of the morallists can no more alter it than they can change light into darkness. The "Oppressed Nations' are, therefore, not made to groan under oppression because it constitutes a happiness to the oppressor. It is no delight to him, it is dictated by necessity through the unalterable laws of the survival of the fittest." Quit-Rents to King George Form Strange Collection LONDON.—King George would possess a unique collection of "odds and ends" if he enforced all the quit-rents to which he is legally entitled. A "quit-rent" is a contribution in kind made to Britain's reigning sovereign by holders of country estates granted to them by English kings in ancient times. Some, like the miniature Napoleonic standard presented on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington, in respect of his estate at Strathfieldsaye, are required annually. Others are due on demand. t The Duke of Atholl holds his lands on condition that he present a white rose to the king whenever honored with a royal visit at his residence, Blair Atholl. The Munros of Foulis, in similar circumstances, are under the much more difficult obligation to present a snowball. When his majesty passes through the town of Crendon, in Buckinghamshire, the owner of the land on which it is situated has to tender red roses. Should the king visit the village of Ameabury, Wiltshire, the owner of the land on which it is situated is called upon to furnish straw for the royal bed. The holder of the Corber estates in Shropshire is obliged to supply the king's table with bacon when England is at war. Rest Home for Reds In Grand Duke's Palace YALTA, Crimea, Aug. 22.—What Lenine once called a "repair shop for worn-out revolutionaries" has been established by the Bolshevik authorities in former palace of Grand Duke Peter Nikolaevitch in the Crimea. It is a place to which Communists stock from various parts of the globe to have a rest from what one of them described as "grim dangers of imperialistic countries, at cities, sufferings and bourgeois perceptions." They pass their time wandering lazily through the beautiful halls of the palace or resting on soft Oriental cushions and rich Persian rugs. The place represents a true "internationale" in miniature, with Communists from Germany, England, India, America, Kumania, Bulgaria, China and Japan.

NEGRO HEALTH CONDITIONS NOT AS REPRESENTED Commission Finds Great Improvement — Records Do Not Support. Charge Tuberculosis Death Rate is 7 Times as High as Whites Are Negro health conditions, an far as sanitation and housing are concerned, at their lowest stage? The published statement in the affirmative by Dr. William J. Thempkins of Kansas City, Mo., chairman of the Infant Mortality Commission of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Eks of the World, has provoked a discussion in which other members of the commission and local physicians of the race disagree. Among those on the commission to assert that Negro health conditions are improving are Dr. Algerson B. Jackson, Director of the Department of Public Health, Howard University; Dr. Charles B. Fisher, instructor in physiology, Howard University Medical School, and Charles B. Hall, a statistician in the United States Bureau of Census, Washington. Death Rate an issue Members of the commission also take issue with the chairman's statement that the death rate among Negroes from tuberculosis is seven times that of whites. They say there are no records of vital statistics to substantiate such a charge and the assertion is an exaggeration. All members of the commission agree that the infant mortality rate among Negroes is twice that of whites, and the homicide rate of the race is much higher than among whites. "But no such conclusions were reached by the commission that Negro health conditions, so far as relating to sanitation and housing, are grow- ing from bad to worse," Dr. Fisher explained. On the contrary, they are improving. This fact is borne out by Dr. Louis I. Dublin, administrator for the Metropolitan Life insurance Company, which has on its basis one-fifth of the Negro population of the United States. "In an article for September in the American Mercury entitled: 'Zach Death and the Negra,' he writes: The comparison with a death rate of thirty-five to forty per one thousand in Reconstruction Days, the Negra mortality is now only about seventy per one thousand, a death rate greater the same as the rate for a number of European countries before the World War. The recent gains in the average length of life are entirely commemorate with those of the white population. This fact alone helps and great promise for the future of the Negro in America.'" Dr. Algernon R. Jackson, a surgical contributor to the New York Medical Journal, writes out: "Conservative students of public health conditions in America are not alarmed by the present mortality rate among Negroes. Statistics indicate health cannot be conceived in terms of race, but rather in terms of economic, environment and education. Scientists today are generally agreed that there is no such thing so from racial immunity or social susceptibility to disease, except in a sensitive sense." At the closing session of the approved Benovolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, in New Mother A. M. E. Elon Church, No. 140 West 137th Street, Saturday night, the delegates voted to the commission $4,000 to conduct a further study of the subject. Berlin Policeman Becomes Scenario Writer BERLIN.—Police Inspector Ernest Engelbrecht has tendered his resignation to the Berlin chief of police to become a scenario writer. Some time ago Inspector Engelbrecht attracted considerable attention with a number of serial novels in a radio periodical. One of the foremost German film producing companies engaged him as playwright. the Afro-Americans. President King tells us in the following paragraph what his attitude towards the native African is, as follows: "I am working for the Liberian nation, not for the black race. The black race was there before Liberia. It is a thing indestructible, is this black race, whereas the nationality of Liberia needs fostering and developing, and with its advancement the black race automatically advances. I am for keeping the young colored men of my country at home." With wages ruling at 25 cents a day the young men of Liberia will need no urging to remain at home. And President King and his Afro-Americans will never get anywhere until they take hold of the native problem and seek to make the 2,000,000 as one with the 50,000 Liberians.

These people are quite correct in their viewpoint. Mr. Lincoln did not love the Negro, but he was a consistent opponent of the slave system because he believed that it degraded both the slave and the owner and weakened the nation. His declaration in the debates with Senator Stephen A. Douglas that "this nation cannot exist half slave and half free, it must be all slave or all free," expressed his attitude towards the slave power in his opposition to the extension of slavery when he was a member of the legislature of Illinois and as a member in Congress for one term and as president of the United States. His declared purpose was to save the union and not to save or destroy slavery. He made that plain enough. When he reached the conclusion that he could not save the union without destroying slavery he did not hesitate to write and promulgate the Proclamation of Emancipation. The New York World has published a statement by Flores Ford Meagher of Thibadaux, La., a newspaper writer of the old school, in which he says that President Lincoln made to Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, offers of generous peace, with gradual emancipation of the slaves, on condition of the immediate return of the Southern States to the union, but that Mr. Davis, on his own account, rejected the overtures. Francis P. Blair of Missouri was the agent President Lincoln selected to approach Mr. Davis. When he failed on the main proposition, because there were so many irreconcilables pledged never to re-enter the union, Mr. Blair submitted a proposition that the Union and Confederate armies join in driving out of Mexico the Austrian Prince Maximillian and to give Mexico to the irreconcilables, with their slaves, who were to be jointly protected in occupying the new country. But Mr. Davis was entirely unreceptive. The entire negotiations fell through because President Davis was stubborn and determined to win all or lose all for the Southern Confederacy, and because "there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough them as we may." And because, after all, "all's well that ends well." EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The Magro World does not inimovingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Magro World are currently requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Magro World advertisement. GARVEY AND THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS THE Pan-African Congress held a four-day session in New York city last week, and there was much discussion of the international needs of the Negro people in Africa and out of it, by persons well qualified to speak upon the subjects assigned them. The editor of The Negro World attended the closing session of the Congress on Wednesday afternoon and listened with interest to the papers read, but was unable to agree with many of the theories advanced to meet the needs of the Negro people and with the opinion of Prof. Logan that it was not possible nor would it be good to hope that the Europeans could or would be driven out of Africa, which appeared to find much favor with the audience, and that it would be best and most helpful for the natives to grow along with and learn of the white Europeans—the old theory of the lion and the lamb lying down together without a row because the lamb was inside the lion. It is the Red Indian in contact with the European whites on the Western Continent all over again. Prof. DuBois is very largely the Pan-African Congress. Without him it would be like Shakespeare's "Hamlet," with "the melancholy Dane" left out. Dr. DuBois has no love for Marcus Garvey, and naturally, Mr. Garvey has no love for Dr. DuBois. Love begets love and hate begets hate, you know. Well, Dr. DuBois drew the resolutions which a committee approved, and he was reading them to the Congress when some one introduced a resolution sympathizing with Mr. Marcus Garvey in his troubles and believing that he had suffered enough and praying on the part of the Congress that President Coolidge extend executive clemency to Mr. Garvey, who, one speaker said, had done so much to arouse and unify the self-consciousness of the Negro people. Dr. DuBois wanted the resolution to go to the committee for consideration, and after a warm debate, it was so ordered. Of course, it was killed in committee. But the point we noted with interest was that the best part of the audience was in favor of the resolution and applauded the eulogy of Mr. Garvey by the speaker. Many individuals and business enterprises fall today because they are unwilling to pass through that formative period of hard knocks and hard work. The world wasn't built in a day, and great careers and monumental commercial enterprises are not produced by the wave of a wand.—California Eagle. If the evils which men commit did not live after them the destruction of bad men might be the primary objective in those cases where evils have come through them; but men are not important any further than the instrumentality of their conduct is helpful or detrimental to the common good of all men and their value is estimated in the same proportion that their conduct inspires public confidence and esteem.—Birmingham Reporter. And we think that Dr. DuBois will grow to the point of bigness to realize that Africa and the Negro people are very large problems which should have the active sympathy and co-operation of all the thinking persons of the race, to whatever organization of racial uplift and betterment they may belong. Every time we spend a dollar we should consider not only what we are getting, but what we are doing to increase opportunities for our boys and girls. This is not race prejudice, but the fundamental law of self-preservation. Some stores are fairer than others. Trade with them. Some advertise in colored journals. Trade with them. Some employ colored men and women to a larger extent than others. You should pick them out.-Seattle Enterprise. THE NEGRO WORLD DRIVE OPENED WELL THE readers of The Negro World will be interested to learn that the Expansion Drive in the interest of the paper opened most auspiciously Sunday of last week, and that the members of the Brooklyn and New York divisions, and divisions in nearby communities of New York city, turned out in very large numbers and displayed unusual interest and enthusiasm in the drive. We dare say a like interest was shown at points from which we have not as yet heard. We believe in human rights: the right of independent thinking and free expression. We are opposed to intimidation, coercion or force, or any form of oppression by whomsoever committed.—Star of Zion. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association appear to have come to the conclusion that the organization cannot get very far without its newspaper to keep them in touch with the work of the association and the world-wide touch with the news and opinion which concern the race in its life and aspiration after higher and better life and living. It is hoped that this sentiment will take hold of the membership of all of the divisions and that in future they will concern themselves more than ever with the well-being of The Negro World. We will not arrive at our greatest opportunity at a single bound. The way is long and devious, but we should start. Many failures must be encountered and every day we delay is costing us dear.—Kansas City Call. Although the Negro has made and is making some substantial progress in The world is moved and dominated by opinion. Opinion is made by direct and indirect appeal to the intelligence and the self-interest of those who make up the world. It can be reached and persuaded most easily and effectively by the written word. A great newspaper is the most powerful agency of propaganda in the world. That is very well understood. But you can't have a great newspaper unless you buy it and read it and encourage your neighbors to do so. Let the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association think over these statements of fact and get busy creating sentiment to contain and enlarge the work of The Negro World. GOOD THOUGHTS Good thoughts lead to good deeds, for "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." He who thinketh evil will eventually become an evil-door as well as an evil thinker. To think good of one's self is elevating, and to think good of other people lifts the thinker. One's deeds must be weighed and found to be good before he can really be called good, but the good thought though must of necessity precede the deed. Can good deeds ever come from evil thoughts? Eligible, over doubting, never-trusting people usually become what they think others to be—untrustworthy. Our character, to a great extent, is made from the thoughts that hark within. Lofty thoughts build a lefty, useful life. Vain,卑纵 thoughts make a vain, worthless life. Then we must watch our thoughts and hold them on good, even the good that is in our neighbor. The man is made of the thoughts he thinks. Think low and yell ame low, and you can't rise higher than your alma—Tampa Ballet. PRESIDENT KING OF LIBERIA "JOY RIDING" THE London correspondent of the New York World caught President C. B. Dugene King of Liberia, in a light and cheerful mood, saying, "As a matter of fact, Mr. King is speaking. He did not come to London with any axes to grind." Indeed, what eight years I have been president of Liberia," President King said. "I have been elected for another four years, and never requested that I should take a holiday. This is part of it. Our country is increasingly happy. There is no rent to pay and no trouble. The workmen are been to work for twenty-five days just to settle to their farms every three months of the year, and their crop of rice." The people have 50,000 Afro-Americans and some 2,000,000 native Liberians, and the former rule the latter. As far as we know, the natives have very small sympathy and touch with the limited business fields entered, there is much room for improvement. Too much time and capital are being spent and invested in concerns which do not necessarily furnish jobs for the race in increasing numbers, nor increase the actual buying strength of the group.—Shirveport Sun. Perhaps the officials of the South will realize that there is no halfway house where lynching is content to stop. The only thing to do about it is to protect all prisoners of whatever color. In do- ing this as much as the strength of the state as is required should be used. Only where lynching is abolished can there be a fair opportunity for civiliza- tion.—California Voice. Negro business men lose millions each year because the public does not know they are in business and does not know what they have to sell, or on leaving home, where to go to buy the things they need. . . . The Negro mer- chants, largely, is setting behind the counter playing checkers, discussing the Negro problem and cussing out his rarl because his race does not trade with him, when, in fact, his race does not know he is in business, unless they walk by his store door and see him playing checkers or discussing some religious or race question.—Atlanta Independent. It is possible in a moment to dash to pieces the work of a whole generation, and the very best way to avoid that is to insure continuity. In order to do that we have to get clear ideas as to the purpose in view and how to achieve it; and once we have a settled policy it should be our task to keep steadily to it by such agencies as have been tried and proved—Gold Coast Leader. There is always "somewhere to go" for the man or woman with dollars and cents, whether they were acquired by digging ditches or keeping books—Portland Advocate. Another Wail of Woe WASHINGTON.—Farming will pass mainly into the hands of the colored races and nine-tenths of American will live in industrial cities, depending upon foreign trade for their livelihood if the disorganization of the farmers of the United States continues for another hundred years," was the rather colorful prediction recently made before the institute of Politics by Dr. Charles A. Board, economist, who is advancing an agricultural and political alliance between the South and the West.—C. P. R. Kongo Natives Stoical WASHINGTON, Aug. 26—Not until the American Indian, the native of the Kenge in colonial and not easily eroded by demonstrations of 'happied science.' Nothing surprises him since he saw his first match struck, reports a memoirary who has just returned from the Boholian Kenge. The first airplane to alight at Boholeng, he said, intertwined the natives for a moment. They thought it was a huge bird, but when they may now step from within they strung their shoulders and walked around. P. B. (From The Chicago World, Aug. 30) FUTURE GROWTH FROM WITHIN Recently the attention of the Negro has been directed in one way or another to the marvelous development of the race, and from other quarters to the fact that really our accomplishments have been only mediocre, that in fact we are second raters. Certainly we are loath to admit this; but, after all, what do we find is the case? A cursory examination shows that a great deal of our success has been due to efforts directed largely by white people, friends who felt sympathetic toward us because of our enormous handicaps. A further investigation reveals that most of these sympathizers have passed away or else have become apathetic, and propaganda is being rapidly circulated to let us "paddle our own canoe." After all, we wonder if this is not best! The true ideas of a people can only emanate from within when inspired from within. Enough has been done already to demonstrate that there is adequate talent dormant to accomplish practically anything desired, but the desire to accomplish something must be inculcated. A spirit of co-operation must be developed; fear and distrust of one another, which was encouraged by the white man, must be stamped out at once if we are to be successful. We must become more independent. We must develop our own resources and create capital. We must become ploners. Although it is not necessary to go to some foreign land to realize these ambitions, some distant places offer golden opportunities. In spite of the fact that only a few years ago Marcus Gervay was held up for derision because of his advocacy of a return to Africa by those who desired to establish fame and fortunes in virgin territory, we find now that his advice was absolutely correct. Nature there is unusually beneficent and bountiful. Practically all of man's needs grow there without much cultivation. There are numerous fruits, vegetables, woods and so forth which could be exported and sold for enormous profits; besides, there are precious ores and gems hidden away in the soil, which could be mined and traded for fabulous wealth. But it is not necessary to journey so far away to accomplish these things. There are hundreds of opportunities right here ready for us to grasp. But we must grasp them. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ABBERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Industry Wants Healthy Men Health is one of the most important requirements in getting a job today, according to many personnel managers in industry and commerce. The employer wants men who are, first of all, healthy, because these men are better able to resist disease, they are less likely to be hurt in industry, since they are in full possession of all normal faculties and they are better able to stand the strain of the rush season. Thus they will take less time from work for sickness, they will be more likely to do good work, and the turnovers will probably be less. This is another reason why it pays to be healthy—one is more apt to get a job and to keep one. Today, when knowledge of good personal hygiene and other health information is so easy to obtain, our health depends upon ourselves to large extent. We can do much to make ourselves healthy and to safeguard our health. One of the most important things is to have a complete physical examination once every year by a competent doctor. He will discover any defects which you may have and help you to correct them before they have a chance to do lasting harm. If there are none, the doctor will reassure you and advise you how to continue to be healthy. Then we should all eat a well-balanced diet of wholesome, nourishing food. We should get sufficient sleep; from eight to ten hours is required by the average person, depending upon the strain of his work and his individual need. Fresh air, sunlight and regular exercise are all important factors in maintaining health. Be sure to get your share. Negro Contractors Increase WASHINOTON.—The large and increasing number of successful Negro builders and contractors will be interested in the result of a nation-wide survey recently made by the American Builder, a builder's magazine which points out that new housing valued at nearly two billion dollars yearly, and more schools, stores, churches, hotels and other structures are required to meet the demands of the annual population increase of approximately 1,730,000 people. Attention is also directed to the fact that the largest single requirement in the annual building program is due to depreciation, which is conservatively estimated at 3 percent. C. P. B. NEW YORK.—This city boasts of the oldest Negro orphanage in the United States. It was established in 1839. It was only sixteen years ago that the Board of Education established at the Orphanage Public School 60, and the experiment of educational affiliation with a separate institution has more than justified the move. Elmo Alcoe P. Hakim, the principal of the school, has held the post since the first roll-call. Right teachers are supplied by the Board of Education. The recent commencement exercises demonstrated the programs of education among Negro children in New York. The orphanage is located at Riverdale, one of the quiet communities of the city—C.P. B. Zorbliel Parks African mourns the passing of one of her illustrious sons, Zaghloul Fusha, President of the Egyptian Chamber of Deputation. From the very moment when the British occupied his country, nearly forty years ago, he stood in the forefront of the fight for Egyptian independence. Like others whose names are written high on the pages of history, Zaghloul rose from humble birth to the highest position in the country. He studied European diplomacy well and was able to match intrigue with intrigue. He had little confidence in the promises of Britain's statesmen and was so intensely patriotic that his real woe for him the highest respect and confidence of his countrymen. He served his country well, and at this time when Africa needs the services of men of his type his passing is a distinct loss. Great Britain is hoping that the death of Zaghloul bespeaks a brighter future for her continued exploitation of the Boudan and suppression of Egyptian Nationalism. But there should be no trouble in finding a worthy successor to don Zaghloul's mantle. And may his death inspire Egyptians to triumph in the cause to which his whole life was dedicated. African means the passing of a President of the Egyptian Chamber, the British occupied his country, not front of the sight for Egyptian indicted high on the pages of history, highest position in the country. He able to match intrigue with intrigue issues of Britain's statemen and was him the highest respect and concern country well, and at this time when type his passing is a distinct loss. Zaghoul bespeaks a brighter future. Boudan and suppression of Egyptian trouble in finding a worthy successor death inspire Egyptians to triumph dedicated.

Sacco him as humanity's greatest ideal—his pal Vansetti. It would have been to grant the mess a new trial—unless from our disintegrating democracy a same fate of Sacco and Vansetti. Sacco and Vansetti are dead. Massachusetts justice, stern and unrelenting, exacted the full penalty of the law from them for murder, even though millions still believe that justice was not done. Undoubtedly, like at Balaklava, "someone had blundered," and it reverberated round the world. That it took seven years to gain a conviction in favor of the State is sufficient proof that something is beastly wrong, not so much with our judicial system, as it with the men who are sworn to keep it pure. It was the love of justice and freedom of thought that inspired hundreds of world leaders and prominent organizations and institutions to take such unprecedented interest in the case. Sacco and Vansetti were anarchists. Perhaps it was their last hour dramatic appeal to the forces of anarchy to save them from death that sealed their fate. The recourse to force, to intimidation by their friends and sympathizers was foolish. The bombing outrages perpetrated upon American life and property throughout the world were wholly unwarranted. It was a brazen challenge to law and order that was answered by Massachusetts in plain language. "They have crucified me for seven years," cried Nicola Sacco before he died. "They" meant the law and the civilization responsible for his plight. But such was not the case. Sacco's friends, those who held up anarchy to him as humanity's greatest ideal—it was they who really crucified him and his pal Vansetti. It would have been better for all of us had a way been found to grant the men a new trial—unless prejudice and race hatred are eliminated from our disintegrating democracy many who are not anarchists will meet the same fate of Sacco and Vansetti.

An Associated Press dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., for August 24 said that the notorious Earl Carroll, serving a year and a day there for perjury in connection with his celebrated "bath tub" party, has been transferred to the prison honor farm, a merit award which heralds his early release. "Carroll," says the dispatch, "is not eligible for parole until October 8, but the board may, at its discretion, take action on a case before the expiration of the compulsory term." In the same prison is another; a gentleman and a friend of humanity; a champion of world peace and racial understanding. No immoral escapade sent him there. Marcus Garvey went to Atlanta because he refused to lie and dared to elevate black men to the pinnacle of greatness. He means more to civilization than Earl Carroll. Yet, all efforts to gain his freedom have been in vain. When democracy reaches that place where it wilfully persecutes the man struggling hardest to rise from the gutter of political chiccary it no longer merits the respect of its adherents. Earl Carroll, ex-Governor McCray of Indiana and all others who have sinned against society and have, by their conduct, punctured the morality of civilization, deserve no grateful consideration. That is for men like Garvey whom technicalities of the law were not designed to hold. For Garvey's Release The Atlanta Independent asks the release of Marcus Garvey.

The Atlanta Independent asks that there be no let up in agitating for the release of Marcus Garvey. Months ago the Norfolk Journal and Guide suggested that the organizations which fought him and others interested in the solution of our problem, got together and join in the campaign for Garvey's freedom. All has not been done to restore the great leader to his fold. The surrect way to keep him there for the full term of his sentence is for us to be indifferent and inconsistent in our fight to free him. The National Defense Committee of Sacco and Vanzetti worked without sleep up until the electric current sent them into eternity. And even death has not dimmed their activities. They struggle on, determined that the world shall know the truth about the persecution of Sacco and Vanzetti. That's loyalty. That's faith in man, in an ideal. And now, what of Marcus Garvey? Black men and women of the world, arise! Put on your whole armor of faith and go forth to the field of battle, determined not to return until victory has been achieved. Go forth, not with hatred in your hearts, but with overflowing love for truth and justice. This is not a battle for blood but for justice; not a struggle for vengeance, but for freedom. Garvey must be free, and we must free him, neither by violence or by foolish indiscretions, but by those legal processes through which wrongs are righted. This writer suggests the immediate organization of a National Committee of 100 and an International Committee of 50 to convince the Department of Justice, and through them President Coolidge, of the justice of our demand for executive clemency.

That letter sent to Attorney General Dangharth and now being fully exposed by Mrs. Garvey, had its effect on the government whose first duty is to safeguard the interests of its citizens, white and black, against the influence of aliens, in which class Garvey is placed for political reasons. Mrs. Garvey, whose courage and resourcefulness in winning her international prestige, has just exposed one phase of an ugly situation. More is to follow. But if we are to succeed in our endeavor we must not be narrow or refish in our viewpoints. Garvey belongs primarily to the Race and his freedom becomes a matter of concern for all of us.

Though she had a number of love affair, George Sand spent little time at love making, devoting most of her time to her novel writing. It did not take her long to recover from the heart occasioned by the breaking of her intimacy with John Simpson, ange the Detroit News.

After a few weeks of ardent love making she decided she must earn some money. Munet earned nothing, but he was irritated because she wrote regularly. Compositions Show Great Merit —More Than 260 Papers Submitted — Wanamaker Will Offer Prizes Again Next Season ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 25 (Special).—An important feature of the annual Artists' Concert tonight of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., which is holding its annual convention in this city, was the announcement of the prize winners in the contest for colored composers. The prizes aggregated $1,800 in cash and they were offered by Rodman Wanamaker of Philadelphia, through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the Philadelphia Store, an organization composed of the Negro employees of that store and organized for educational and recreational purposes. At the time for the intermission in the middle of the concert, Carl Diton, of Philadelphia, president of the National Association of Negro musicians, introduced John Love, president of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, who spoke briefly and in turn introduced Dr. Chas. Landisel who was present as the official representative of the Wanamaker Store and who made the announcement of the prize winners and the compositions. Mr. Wanamaker had divided his prize offer, which was announced at last year's convention, held in Philadelphia, into five classes. Five prizes were offered in each class as follows: First prize, $100; second prize, $50; third prize, $25; fourth prize, $15, and fifth prize, $10. The classifications were: A Hymn of Freedom for chorus; a love song, for either voice or instrument; a jubilary; "Predigitation"; and melodies and synchronous effects. The latitude given the composer was very wide both as to classification and as to the manner in which he might express his musical thoughts. The judges of the competition were Henry T. Burleigh, the celebrated Negro composer and baritone; Charles M. Courboin, official organist of the John Wanamaker store in Philadelphia; Carl Diton, president of the National Association of Negro Musicians; Samuel L. Lacier, music editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and Clarence Cameron White, director of the Department of Music of the University of West Virginia. The judges met last June in the Wanamaker store and examined with great care the competitions submitted. The competition aroused great interest among colored composers all over the United States. The National Association of Negro Musicians assisted in promoting the contest, using the machinery of the organization to bring the conditions of the contest before their own members and that of other members of the race not affiliated with the organization. The result was very gratifying and more than 260 compositions were sent in to the Robert Curtia Ogden Association, under the auspices of which the competition was carried out. THE PRIZE WINNERS The successful contestants in each class, together with the works which won the individual prizes were as follows: Class I.—"A Hymn of Freedom," first prize. Wellington Adams, 1000 Euclid street, N. W., Washington, D. C. This was a chorus in four parts for mixed voices, entitled "Let Freedom's Music Ring." This was the only prize awarded in this classification, in which the entries were not numerous. The composition is very "singing" and it does not go beyond the range possessed by every voice. The accents are correctly placed throughout and the work, while not of large proportions, is an excellent piece of choral composition. Class 2-A Love Song First prize, Frank Tizol, 116 East 116th street, New York City. Second prize, Harry E. Rush, 1810 South 20th street, Philadelphia. The entries for this classification were numerous, most of them being songs with piano accompaniment, although, under the terms of Mr. Wanamaker's offer, the Love Song might be either vocal or instrumental. Both of the successful contestants composed a violoncello solo with an accompaniment of a small orchestra. Mr. Tizol work being for an orchestra of mixed instruments, while Mr. Rush used strings orcchelys. Class 3—A Lullaby First prize, Fred M. Bryan, 180 Laferta Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. Second prize, Hinson Jones, 707 St. Nicholas avenue, New York City. Third prize, Wendy Howard, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Fourth prize, Washington Adam, 1000 Euclid avenue, Washington, D.C. The winner of the first prize submitted a spiritual philosophy, for peace, in this dissertation, the composer were allowed personal liberty as to choice of profession, vocal or instrumented, and the writer. Whenever suggested that the hobby be in the form of a appended, in this dissertation the Nero titan was also especially capable although his. Neropean in his early appearance than the one of this titan would be detrimental, although not necessary. The ability of the composer to enjoy and prize was important and the happiness we had been created and enjoyed. The second prize was a young entitlement. Even the world and this humanity belonged to him. The composer became law video and in a typical Nero titan he accomplished very convincing. The third was won by Wendy Dennis the a medley for visits with piano accompaniment, the violin past best especially well handled. This fourth prize which was won by Wellington Adams (who also was the winner of the prize awarded in classification No. 1. "The Kymn of Freedom") was secured with a song entitled "Mammy Loves Her Lil' Black Child." This was generally an excellent piece of work, although the Negro atmosphere was not so pronounced as in some of the other works in this classification. Class 4—"Presididiation" As the name indicates, the works in this classification were to be of a very rapid tempo, instrumental in character and with almost unlimited liberty in the choice of instruments. This class brought out several remarkable works, mostly of a schema-like character and for a large number of instruments. The judges decided to award three second prizes of $50 each in this classification. The winners are: First prize, Maude Odelle Bonner, 8 Howland street, Roxbury, Mass. Second prize, J. Howard Brown, $35 Nebraska avenue, Kansas City, Kan. Second prize, Richard Oliver, 1159 Fourteenth street, Des Moines, Iowa. Second prize, Fred D. Griffin, 1632 Beinbridge street, Philadelphia, Pa. Third prize, Mrs. C. B. Cooley, $5 Munroe street, Roxbury, Mass. The first prize was won with a composition for flute, string quartet and piano. Mr. Brown's composition was for piano solo in the form of a scherzo without trio, short as to length and quite pianistic. Richard Oliver's work was for hand and was a snappy march, with the rhythm clearly defined and the melody "catchy." The last of the works winning a second prize in this classification was Mr. Griffin's unique composition entitled "The Hall Storm" and for cornet and piano accompaniment. It carries out the idea of "prestidigitation" exactly and is a well-written work showing full understanding of the possibilities and the limitations of the cornet. It introduces some effective "triple-tonguing" a device by which very rapid notes in groups of three are performed. The winner of the third prize, Mrs. C. B. Cooley, wrote a brilliant piano number entitled "The Brook," the rapid notes of the composition being manifestly intended to suggest the murmurings of a little stream. An interesting feature of this classification is that two women and both residents of the same town, Roxbury, Mass. were among the five prize winners. Class S—Melodies and Synohrenous Effects This classification also brought out some remarkable compositions, the prize winner being as follows: First prize, Oscar Howard, 124 North 53rd street, Philadelphia, Pa. Second prize. John A. Gray, 766 East 18th street, Los Angeles, Calif. Third prize. George Duckett, 151 North 59th street, Philadelphia, Pa. The composition winning first prize was a very well-written and finely instrumented march for large band including microphones, the melody being excellent and the rhythm clear and well-defined. Unusual skill was shown in the instrumentation of the march. The second prize was awarded to Mr. Gray for what, in some respects, was the most musicically piece of music submitted in the contest, a piano solo in the form of a theme and variations. The theme was original and excellent in character, being very expressive, the harmonization is extremely good and great knowledge of composition was shown in the work, such as the use of the theme in the lower voices, a variation in augmentation, the use of canon, etc. The close of the work is exceedingly fine. The third prize in this classification was awarded to Mr. Duckett for a rhythmic march song for voices and piano. It was further announced at the convention that Mr. Wanamaker will offer prizes next season to be competed for again by composers of the Negro race. The details will be given out in ample time for musicians to take part in the contest. William Ferris Reviews Leadership of the Race (Continued from page 2) own case, jumped up and shouted: "What? And jeopardize the liberty and freedom of Marcus Garvey!" The result was that Judge Mack left for Chicago Friday evening, attended the convention and rushed back to resume the trial Monday morning. Not since the days of Frederick Douglas had such fearlessness been seen in a Negro leader. Garvey's admirers, members and adherents caught the contagion of his spirit. He breathed the breath of life into his race, and all over the world black people began to stand up erect, to walk, talk and act like men. The world became alarmed at the new Negro. Unfortunately, like a coil just let out into a pasture. Garvey and his followers were over-enthusiastic in their new found freedom. Thus we see the Universal Negro Improvement Association electrified Negrodom, because it taught the black man that he had a glorious part and could do what other men could do and was entitled to the mans consideration. It taught the black man that he was somebody and increased his moral dignity and self-report. It enabled the Negro to find himself. It made the Negro fuel as Turenne, the tawny Adrians poet, felt when he stood in the Colleenum of Rome and manifested: "I am a man and I think that nothing that is common to humanity is foreign to man." This was its contribution to Negro culture. It blamed the inferiority complex which had operated the Negro's condition and confidence, energy and energy. While there was a great deal of fear and fear to the Darley Movement, underneath the Irish and from there there was a mighty cough of human thought and feeling.

When Bootleggers Fall Out Baltimore.—Tortures similar to that committed by the savage Indian today were employed in a supposedly bootleg feud. Knocked unconscious and dragged to a deserted country cottage where their clothing was saturated with kerosene and the house set afire, two pitiless beaten men quarried their scorched bodies to the outside. Though not burned to death in the trap their assaultants planned, they died from their burns and wounds a few hours later at a hospital. Death came before they could give a coherent story of their attack. Bristish Rakes Up Anglo-Saxon Slave Past Mussolini's reported intention to make the Italian king an emperor saddened the Italian Empire, and was called "absolutely fantastic." Why is it preposterous? There is a British Empire—nobody laughs at that. No one calls it fantastic. There was a Roman Empire, and a great one when the ancestors of those that now run the British Empire were dancing around the swamps, their stomachs painted blue, fleeing from the strange pirates, Danes, Norwegians, Scandinavians and Germans that were everlastingly planning to carry them away as slaves. Italy has first class material for a modern emperor in Mussolini. If he prefers to wear a silk high hat and hand an imperial crown to the king, why not? Digressell did it for Queen Victoria. White Sunday School Teacher as Killer Newport News, Va.—Eighteen-year-old Arthur Peterson of this city is said to have confessed killing S. A. Rudd, sixty-five, to obtain money so that he and his friends could stage "a big party" at a beach resort. The allied confession implicated a friend, Connelly Donaldson, Sunday school teacher. Both young men are held on charges of murder. Rudd's body was found in his feed store. He had been beaten and stabbed. The murders got no money. Nine Times a Widow Urania. La.—Mrs. B.

Mrs. Hatfield owns four producing oil wells, a beautiful home at Urania and other valuable property. She has lived here most of her life. Irish Don't Like What They Give New York—Congress may be requested to pass a bill prohibiting motion picture producers from ridiculing Mike, Bridget or any other man or woman of Irish ancestry in the United States.

"How ridiculous it is," says one, "to have to step backward to open or close a door!" George of the Gutter (Continued from page 2) editorialists from the Negro press selected by Robert T. Kerlin, he will find that there was plenty of war-time militancy among Negroes before Garveyism crossed the Hudson river and marched West. "And how can any sane man compare Carvey with Booker T. Washington? One left behind him debts, dissillusion and disappointment; the other left the finest institution of its kind in the world, thousands of capable graduates making an admirable showing in trade and agriculture, and by his insistence upon the race establishing a solid economic foundation for itself, he immeasurably bettered the Negro by orienting his mind to realities rather than mirages. DuBois and Washington in their respective spheres were as good leaders as any group has ever had, despite their few mistakes. Any book that either of them wrote is worth all of the spacious editions and critical rantings that have ever amassed from Marcos Carvey or any of his psychopathic crew. Mr. Carvey hasn't contributed a single original idea or intelligent plan to the great problem of race relations. On the contrary he gave the Negro the ownerty advice to throw up the sponge and go back to the Jungle; to have these quaint-friendly white folks here and take their chances with the more hardened African colonial whites who are rapidly depopulating the land by ruthless exploitation.

M. Sharp Boswell Wanted Birthplace Hidden from Johnson James Boswell was 22 years old when he first met Dr. Samuel Johanna, whose biographer he later became. He was sitting in the back porch of Davies's book store when Dr. Johnson wandered into the shop. Boswell had wanted for a long time to meet the great writer and he hoped to make a good impression, says the Detroit News. Dreading least Johnson should take a dislike to him at first. Boswell whispered to Davies, "Don't tell where I came from," for he thought Johnson was prejudiced against Scots. But when Davies introduced them, he presented Boswell "from Scotland," thikking to have a little fun. Mr. Johnson," exclaimed the flustered Boswell, "I do, indeed, come from Scotland, but I cannot help it." "That, sir," came the thundering answer, "I find is what a very great many of your countrymen cannot help." Dr. Johnson was not as surly as Boswell anticipated and, a week later, he called upon the great man. An intense friendship developed and Boswell recorded in his diary a record of the writer that he later transformed into what has been termed the greatest biography ever written. Army Officers Warned Of "Smuggled" Servants WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—The Secretary of War has cautioned army officers against the employment as house servants of aliens not properly in the United States. This action followed the receipt of a letter from Secretary of Labor Davis stating that certain aliens, chiefly Chinese, not legally in this country, are in the employ of army officers. In his warning to army officers, the Secretary of War states that "it would be most gratifying to this department if army officers would assist in law enforcement by inquiring into the immigration status of aliens before giving them employment." False Hair Much Used By the Ancients False hair was much used by the ancients. The wig worn by the Emperor Commodus is described as having been oilled and perfumed and then powdered with gold. In the Temple of Isis at Thebes there was found a peruke that is now in the British Museum, the arrangement and curling of which would puzzle the hairdresser of today. In France the fashion of wearing wigs lasted a long time. It began in the seventeenth century and spread throughout all Europe. At the outset the young folks refused to sacrifice their natural hair to allow it to be replaced by cumbersome wigs, but fashion overcame their scruples, and soon everybody who was anybody was infected with the wig mania, writes Frank H. Vizetell, editor of the New Standard Dictionary. Even the prices were contaminated by it. In duo time, however, the barbers having found that the people were not spending much money at their shops, the wearing of wigs was decided to be improper and scandalous and was prohibited by the clergy. Scientist Goes To Live on Iceberg EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. 22.—John B. Simpson, a British scientist, has left here with the intention of making his home on an iceberg for three months. He was accompanied by a Samoyede dog. "My purpose," said Simpson, "is to gather material for a book on the ice fields. I expect to be very comfortable in my abode on some drifting loofer. I shall erect a fur-lined tent, and I will warm it with an oil stove. I have plenty of reading matter and a photograph. "I have no idea where I shall drift to, but I have a collapsible boat in case of accidents." Because of the entallment of women's garments, the average weight of trunks carried by the traveling public has been reduced to eighty-five pounds. BY THIS PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of hair, buttress hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. To destroy these germs, enrich the scalp. Grow the hair. DON'T EXPERIMENT! USE MADAM C.J.

Walker Mfg Co. Douglas, he was trustee of Howard University. The university awarded the country to endow a scholarship in his honor; but out of his millions of admirers only a few thousand dollars could be raised. Read the end story of the Douglas Home, which in vain, some have tried to make the mecces of the race. But like the path of wisdom, the road that leads to the home of the age of Anacostia, has but now and then a traveler. Booker Washington's fame filled the race and the world more completely than any other colored man before or since his day, except for the briefer brilliance of Marcus Garvey. And yet today Booker Washington has few apostles and fewer disciples. I remember the disgusting lukewarmness of many of his camp followers here in Washington whom he had raised to place of power and preferment, when immediately after his death, it was proposed to raise an endowment of half a million dollars in his honor. Some of these courteuses did not contribute either then or later to the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment a onesth of one per cent of the largeness which came to them through Mr. Washington's favor. Did Not Teach ideology of Whitness? But not so with Marcus Garvey Thousands of his disciples are ready to follow him, not only to prison, but to death and beyond the grave, if need requires. The deep seated reason for this is that Garvey appealed to certain internal springs of motive which had never been so effectively reached. In the first place, he stoutly refused to bow down and worship at the shrine of the idolatry of whiteness. If he seemed to apotheosis blackness it was only an antidote against the apotheosis of whiteness. He filled his followers that they need not take on the superficial aspect of the Caucasian in order to assert and exert the highest powers and faculties of human nature. He made them feel that they need not apologize for race and color, as the whole trend of tradition had taught him to do. He repudiated utterly the racial inferiority complex. The Negro, according to Garvey, must assert the claims of his human nature, in his ownsemblance, and not merely as a carbon copy of the white race. He thus engendered a race consciousness and a sense of race self-respect which constitute his chief contribution to the Negro branch of the human family. In the second place, Mr. Garvey dramatized the propaganda of the redeemment of Africa. This feeling lies deeply imbedded in the Negro soul. Mr. Garvey awakened it, if but for a moment, into life and power. Ever and anon some Negro statesman or misguided fanatio clicits hectic response by an appeal to this dormant passion for repatriation. I recall Dr. Blyden, Bishop Tucker, General Barns, Dr. Du Bols, and Marcus, all playing in diverse tones on the same African harp. All such attempts so far have been futile, but the deep seated feeling ablides. Just as the Jew in his soul of souls longs for his native Zion, so the Negro by blind, half conscious feeling, longs for his own vine and fig tree under the sunny skies of his mother land. Some day the Negro statesman may arise with wisdom and power to translate this feeling into thought and then the thought into auction. It does not appear that any one of the listed names represents he that should come, but we are still looking for another. Marcus Garvey is the greatest prophet of African redemption that has yet arisen. But the task essayed is at present, not only beyond the reach of available means of realization, but all but beyond the stretch of imagination. Before this reaches the light of print.

Barbara Frietchie's Kim Says She Didn't Wave Flax Whittier's famous poem, "Barrara Fletchie," is say, "The Montan, a splendid example of historical inductiracy. His version is stirring, but it hardly conforms to the facts if we may believe the testimony of a relative of the patriotic old lady. She writes thus: "As to the waving of the Federal flag in the face of the robbery by Dame Barbara on the occasion of Stonewall Jackson's march through Frederick, truth requires me to say that Stonewall Jackson with his troops did not pass Barbara Fletchie's residence at all, but passed up what is popularly called "The Mill Alley," about three hundred yards above her residence, then passed due west toward Antietam and thus out of the city." "The poem represents the venerable lady, then 96 years of age, as nimby ascending to her attic window and waving her small Federal flag defiantly in the face of Stonewall Jackson's troops. Now, what is the fact? At the period referred to Dame Barbara was bedridden and helpless and had lost the power of locomotion. She could only move as she was moved by the help of her attte 'ana." Spanish Section 142 West 130th St. Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUERGA, Editor La pacienza africana no será eterna—Su námesis se aproxima—La potencialidad africana estrena en el número de sus nativos—Preparemos eficientemente al puchlo africano—Anatomía de la miserición de nuestro pueblo En un artículo en La Estrella de Londres, el Sr. William J. Clissold, de Bechuanaland, se expresa del siguiente modo: "Cuando sentado cómodamente en un tren expreso, habéis calculado alguna vez donde podráls encontraros, si el conductor se volviese loco 6 el tren sufriera un descarrilamiento? Yo he experimentado tal sensación en Africa, cuando observaba el gran número de nativos trabajundo en las minas 6 en los mueyes. Esta sudorosa multitud de seres tamizados, forman la fuerza real que da a la civilización blanca implantada en Africa, el vivir con facilidad y progresar con un lujo incomparable. "Mas ¿qué sucederia si un dia ese mismo poder fuese dirigido en sentido opuesto, destruyendo en vez de sostener esa misma civilización? ¿Y que garantia opondria el hombre blanco para que esto no suceda? Entonces mediante aquilatada capacidad y unidad de acción, el regalo mas preciado de Europa, Africa, vendria a probar un instrumento de destrucción. Es un pensamiento, es una idea que aterroriza. "La fuerza y poder de Africa no estriban en su oro, en sus diamantes ni en su marfil; ese poder y esa fuerza descansan en sus nativos. Nosotros somos extraordinariamente pasivos para ver la realidad de este simple hecho. Pero gradualmente, el valor del nativo esta impresionando las mentes de muchos blancos, y todos aquellos que le conozcan mejor, son los primeros en acreditarse el descubrimiento de la verdad expuesta. Los mas sabios magistrado, los profesores y misionarios se unen alabando la adaptabilidad y capacidad del elemento nativo, dando oportunidad para ver como un africano de una generación, tornase de su estado salvaje y aborigen en un hombre apoderándose de todos los medios de adaptabilidad que le impone el nuevo medio. "Probablemente tal fenómeno no se habla visto antes. He hablado a un jefe africano quien si no fuese por su color, hubiera sido un miembro del Parlamento 6 un diplomático; no obstante su niñez fue deslizada guiando vacas en sus vastos poderios. Imaginaos un campesino de Dorsetshire con una transformación semejante. Indudablemente nosotros estamos aumentando la eficiencia de los africanos. ¿Pero estamos dirijiéndola bien? "Hay dos rudas medidas sostenidas por los europeos en Africa en la cuestión nativa. Ambas estan puestas en vigor y en su generalidad, mayormente como medio para el exclusivo progreso europeo. Quizas el nativo vea estas medidas—Desarrollo y Represión—bajo un punto de vista distinto y su posición esté en ángulo opuesto al del invasor. "Estuve presente en un debate nativo en Cape Town cuando la opinión fue expresada, que la única solución satisfactoria a la cuestión nativa seria la retirada de todos los blancos a los sitios de su procedencia. Por el otro lado he oido a blancos, extremistas sugerir seriamente que la única solución del Africa del Sur, descansa en la completa segregación de los nativos africanos hacia las regiones aridas del desierto, donde los europeos no pueden vivir. La nueva legislación conocida eufemísticamente como "diferencial," da al gobierno el derecho de prohibir a los nativos el ser empleados como obreros amaestrados en sus oficios correspondientes, es una ley que realmente tiene la máscara de la represión." Es de interes el leer la transcripción de una carta de Africa del Sur que Lord Olivier da a la publicidad en su reciente obra "La Anatomia de la Miseria Africana" John Murray: "La actitud de los colonistas es suicida a la simple vista. Estos dependen solamente en sus máquinas de guerra para imponer su supremacia. Todo el trabajo del país se hae por obreros nativos. El blanco se esta degenerando a paso agigantado; moralmente ha sido derrotado por el poder de sufrimientos del native; su tenacidad de vida y por lo mas importante—el peculiarismo sentido de ver las cosas. Y concluye Lord Olivier de una manera magistral, haciendo un estudio maravilloso de los hechos del siguiente modo: "Si el atentado de mantener la política de los repro- sionistas peralita, no serán los nativos los que a la larga seen dorreteadas; no serán ellos sino los blimnes que han demostrado los primeros sintomas de dageneración, debido ella a sus propias medidas sociales pervertidas. El nativo se conserve rubiente y viril; puede vivir con mucho manos que el europeo; se multiplica rápidamente, y actualmente está destino y diagnostico a adaptarse a la vida que envolve la competitión europea. Pero también su paciencia es larga, ella no prensa que se oterna ante los modíles supersantidos, quien la actual la prejudiciel, combiplando distinguiendo por el uder en cual habida de por si, y en una disherencial tendencia ya contra el elemento native." THE MICRO WORLD, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 1987 La Prensa Asociada comunica que un juicio, por medio del cual la corte suprema de Sierra Leona, un protectorado británico en el continente africano, se negó a considerar culpables a propietarios de esclavos de cargos que les acusaban por crueldad y conspiración en conexión con la propiedad de esclavos, trajo a la mente del público británico el hecho de que la esclavitud aun existe en los dominios de la Gran Bretaña. Al suprinir la culpabilidad, la corte declaró que le ley habia siemde Liberia, fue proclamado en el dominio extinguiria por si sola. El protectorado de Sierra Leona, confinando con la república negra de Liberia, fue puroclamado en 1896, en cuya fecha le esclavitud era una costumbre establecida en aquel protectorado. La acción oficial británica desde aquella fecha se ha mantenido del lado de la supresión y eliminación de la esclavitud. El año pasado se pasó un decreto, mediante el cual los hijos de esclavos quedarian en libertad inmediatamente a la muerte de su dueno. El diario Manchester Guardian comentando el asunto editorialmente, dice, que la decision de la corte suprema de Sierra Leona volverá a revivir el prestigio y la autoridad de los propietarios de esclavos, afirmando la estabilidad de la esclavitud como una institución. La Liga de las Naciones está interesada en la supresión de la esclavitud, añade el editorialista, con qué cara podiamos nosotros tomar nuestra parte en la tarea, si nosotros guardamos en nuestra conciencia un crimen tal contra la libertad de la humanidad? Una sociedad secreta que azota Las autoridades de Wedowee, Alabama, se encontraban descorazonadas e indecisas para proceder contra los perpetradores de los recientes vapuleos por enmascarados, después de un informe dado a la publicidad por el gran jurado del condado de Randolph, en el cual cuerpo de invitación declaró que condiciones intolerables existían en el condado. El informe culpaba a miembros una sociedad secreta por las condiciones existentes y declaraba que se encontraba en condiciones de la más completa impotencia para conseguir las pruebas suficientes para proceder a una acusación legal. El informe del Gran Jurado dice que en obediciencia al cometido encomendado por Su Señoria, el Gran Jurado ha dilegente, profunda y celosamente investigado los supuestos casos de secuestro y vapuleo de ciudadanos de este condado. La investigación revela condiciones de lo más intolerable. La evidencia desarrollada pone al descubierto diez y siete casos de otras tantas personas que han sido golpeadas con toda desconsideración. En cada uno de los casos, las victimas de estas actividades criminales han sido golpeadas a altas horas de la noche por bandas organizadas de hombres disfrazados de blanco y con máscaras, también blancas, curibiendo sus caras, quienes vijaban en automóviles con la chapa de la licencia tapada. Muchas de las victimas fueron cruelmente azotadas, habiéndoles antes desnudado. Para al azote se usaban instrumentos de tortura y en algunos casos la victima era abandonada con la piel ulcerada por los azotes, los que dejaran cicatrices que no se borrarán jamás. Las investigaciones han puesto en evidencia casos en que las victimas han sufrido las consecuencias de los criminales atentados en nilencio, sin más que acudir a un médico para que les proporciona algn remedio para curar sus heridas, a causa del temor resultante de las amenazas que se les habian hecho por los asaltantes si daban publicidad a los atentados de que habian sido objeto. Es la conclusión unánime del Gran Jurado que el secuestro y azote de estas victimas han sido Hevados a cabo por miembro de la organización ilegal conocida y llamada Caballeros Enmastarados, quienes se han jurado a mantener en socreto todo lo que tienda a dar luz sobre su organización. El informe recensienda por opinión unanimie del Gran Jurado que la legislación de Alkharra relecte leyes que prohiban el emancararse en las caminos públicos y el que se oubran las chapas de licencia de los automóviles. El informe ataca vigorosamente otras pedicillas y duchera que el Gran Jurado ovee que la votación de tales leyes proventiria el que tales amenidades ocurrieron en el futuro y que en el caso de que ocurrieron, con tales leyes en excepción, se podria obtener evitancia con la cual acuer� a los autores del delfino. Delegación dominicana Rio de Janeiro El gobierno de la República Dominicana, habiendo aceptado la invitación que se le hiciera para concurrir a las sesiones de la Reunión Interparlamentaria de Comercio que se va a celebrar en Rio de Janerio el próximo mes, ha nombrado acertadamente un grupo de personalidades destacadas en la vida pública del país, para que formen su delegación.

Introducción de inmigrantes Por medio de varios inmigrantes detenidos mientras se investigan su casos, las autoridades han venido en conocimiento de lo que ellas creen ser una conspiracion para traer inmigrantes a este pais de contrabando. Varios de los inmigrantes detenidos confesaron haber pagado de cien a quinientos pesos por obtener visas consulares con objeto de lograr la admisión a los Estados Unidos. Cinco de los detenidos dijeron que habían comprado visas en pasaportes que les daban viaje de Hamburgo al Canadi. El plan, que parece asumir la propación de un complot integracional, fue descibierto la semana pasada, cuando las autoridades del Canada y de los Estados Unidos se negaron a aceptar la validez de los documentos presentados por siete italianos que llegaron en el North German Lloyd, procedentes de Dresden y con destino a Hamilton, Ont. El inspector Frederick Tuttle, jeffe del departamento especial de investigaciones, puso el asunto en manos del Comisionado de Inmigración Mr. Day, quien a, su vez pasó el asunto a Washington. Las autoridades en Washington empezaron una investigación por los departamentos de Estados y de Justicia. Por las observaciones de los que examinaron los documentos, se cree que existe una gran corporación con oficinas centrales en Hamburgo, preparada para la emisión de las visas falsificadas para los inmigrantes. Tan pronto como en Washington se decida sobre la solicitud de deportación presentada, se cree que el procurador de los Estados Unidos Tuttle será llamado para una investigación en Washington. Mientras tanto, el departamento de Estado se muestra activo en la persecución de los contrabandistas y arresto de los conspiradores en Alemania y al mismo tiempo se ha notificado a todas las autoridades de los puertos de entrada, para que estén al tanto de las visas falsificadas que se les puedan presentar en el futuro. STRAIGHT BLACK HAIR YOURS IN 30 MINUTES Men and Women MOORISH STRATE-BLACK It is SAFE and SURE Absolutely Harmless Claim Men Take Meet of the Honors While Women Furnish Meet Members and Do Most Work of the Church LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Aug. 26. For the first time since the opening of the world's conference on faith and order, the voice of its seven women delegates, of whom four are Americans, was heard today, when they presented a signed appeal for greater recognition of the members of their sex in the councils of the churches. Believing that scant attention has been received from the more than 400 male delegates, who have not given one of them a chance to speak, the women met in private in their hotel and drew up their statement. Addressing her sisters, one of the feminine delegates asserted in forceful terms that whereas more women than men went to church and that the women did most of the work in the churches, the men occupied all the places on the boards. The only recognition recorded women by the conference was the designation of Miss Lucy Gardner of England as bellringer or timekeeper of speeches by the men. The women in a statement called on the conference to note that out of a total of more than 400 delegates only seven were women. "The call must go out," said the statement, "To all men and women alike for faithfulness in giving the message, least our differing gifts and opportunities be unused." The women asked "Prayers of all that the gift of women as of men, clerical and lay, may be offered and used to the utmost in the great task that lies before us, namely evangelization of the world, through a church united." The four women delegates from the United States are Miss Margaret Slattery of Boston, Mrs. Albert J. Lyman of Brooklyn, Prof. Eliza H. Hendrick of Wellesley, Mass., and Mrs. Wesley Boyd of Shenandoah, Pa. Scientists in the Dark As to How Cat Purrs In the cat there are two kinds of vocal cords—true and false. The true vocal cords are used by the cat in "meowing" and making other common sounds. The false vocal cords, according to Alvin Davison, author of "Mammalian Anatomy, With Special Reference to the Cat," are used in purring. Scientists are in the dark as to just how the purring sound is made, says the Pathfinder. This peculiar sound of the cat may be likened to the grunts of pigs, particularly to the grunting of the new when nursing her litter. The grunting in pigs and purring in cats indicates a condition of comfort and contentment. The cat cooses to purr when it becomes sick, frightened or otherwise uncomfortable. The sound of purring seems to be produced in the larynx when the false vocal cords are considerably relaxed and the contraction of the chest walls and diaphragm are slight and slow. Chocolate Made from Seeds of Cocoa Tree Chocolate is made from the large nutritive seeds or beans of the cacao tree, which is a small evergreen tree indigenous to tropical America. Formerly all chocolate came from tropical America, but now the Gold Coast Colony in Africa is the largest producer of cacao. There is much popular confusion in connection with the words cocoop, cocoa and cacao, says the Pathfinder. The original name of the tree was cacao, and that form is retained in German, Spanish and French. But in Dr. Samuel Johnson's dictionary it was spelled cocoa. It was probably an error. At any rate, the spelling "cocoa" is the accepted form in English. The cacao has no relation to cocoanut, which are produced by cocoanut palms. There is also a small shrub which grows in South America called the coco. Philippines to Play Big Role in the East WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Philippine islands can grow enough rubber to supply half the needs of the United States, Professor Ralston Hayden, of the University of Michigan, told a round table conference of the Institute of Politics here. The islands can produce virtually all tropical products necessary to modern life, and are capable of maintaining a population of 50,000,000. Hayden, who was a member of the Carmal Thompson Investigation Committee, said: He added that the islands will play an important role in the development of the Orient and will have much influence on relations between the East and the West. The outstanding problem of the islands is to increase the use of their natural wealth so that revenues to meet development needs can be obtained, he said. GOOD HOK PRINT White House Repair Are Bar to Visitors WASHINGTON.—Coming from all walks of life and all parts of the world, thousands of Washington visitors this summer have dwelled most to see the White House. And the very condition which has made it the most popular building for sight-seers, the publicity about its repair, has made it inaccessible to them. With construction of the new roof and reconstruction of the top story still in progress, visitors are practically barred even from the grounds, and the streets which lead to the east entrance are closed to bus and other traffic, also undergoing repair. Since the greater part of the White House retinue is in the Black Hills with President and Mrs. Coelidge, the mansion is virtually deserted. Carpets and drapes have been removed, and except for a few employees about the only person to be seen is the executive clerk. Calls Federal Prison Conditions Hideous TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 26-Owing to the failure of the Federal Government to provide sufficient funds, Federal prisoners in many local jails are living in conditions "hideous beyond the imagination." Dr. Hastings H. Hart of the Russell Sage Foundation, New York, told the American Prison Congress, in session here. He singled out the Pierce and King county jails in Washington in his criticism. E. H. Cass of New York, formerly general secretary of the association, was elected president. Write for this FREE Book Showing how to care for hair and how to arrange it.

Africa, the largest continent in this world, has been by divine right. It has been stolen from those at home, and we on this side of the world have been taken away from it. I think that Africa should be redeemed, it can be redeemed and it must be redeemed. I think that if even fifty per cent of the Negroes of America, the West Indian, Central and South America should contribute only one dollar (11.60) to the African redemption fund, we would find ourselves with millions of dollars, and the redemption of African would cease to appear as a dream and an impossibility to the "wetlands" according to the "seattle multimedia." I think that if when we shall have refounded Africa we will be able to make it the greatest country, with the greatest army and army in the world. A country where every Negro man with the necessary qualification can be looking forward to the presidency some day. I think that when we shall have received Africa, we can survey out a U. S. America, with its New York, its Manhattan, its Washington, etc., so that we who are living in any part of the white world that we think we cannot do without, we can find them right there, for Africa is big enough for all of this job.

Germany's Jewish Population Increases BORN LIN, AUG. 23.—Lottery an alarm has been raised in the Jewish proms throughout the world that German Jewry is disappearing. Statistics have been cited to prove this and even reason for the phenomenon discovered. These trace the growth of mixed marriages and the popularity of birth control. The final figure of the 1925 comp in Germany, however, tell quite a different tale. The official figure of the number of Jews in Germany is given in the comp as 84,600. The number of Jews left the previous census of 1910 was 84,600. This means an increase of 84,600, or almost 6 per cent. In view of the fact that the period of this comp coincides with the years of the great war and of the first years of the "grand" which were even worse than old in Germany, this increase is not a magnificent one, especially so since the increase of the non-Jewish population is only 2 per cent bigger. But this is not the entire increase. The census reveals yet another highly probable, almost certain, increase of the Jewish population. This is the one hidden under the head of "Konfessionaliae," that is, persons without any church affiliation, these numbering over 1,500,000, and it is safe to assume that a fair proportion, probably 10 per cent, of this number belong to the Jewish race. It is, therefore, very safe to assume that the number of Jews in Germany now is much above 706,000, if not three-quarters of a million. This increase is partly due to the post-war immigration of the so-called "Ost-Juden," that is, of the Jewish war refugees from Russia, Poland and other Eastern countries. French Society Encourages "Vegetarian" Marriages PARIS—"Vegetarian" weddings are being encouraged by the French Society of Vegetarians. They have organized a series of functions where young lovers of vegetables can start their courtships. Opposites may be attracted to each other, say some of the loaders of this movement, but the dinner table is likely to become a battleground if there be too great a difference in tastes. but let we not get fed up of the U. N. Y. L. A., it is the portal to the redemption of Africa, and the key to the emancipation and recognition of our race. Let us remember that: "The heights that great men and nations and races reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, toilled onward and upward through the night." E. Z. ISLAND. Moron, Cuba. Aiding the Program In a Practical Way To the Editor of The Negro World: I have read with much interest and regret the copy of a letter in The Negro World of July 30 produced from the Gold Coast Times of June 11 of the present year under the caption, "The need of Negro doctors for work in Africa." I am in deep sympathy with the situation, and under this same post I have written to the editor of the Gold Coast Times informing him of my intention to do what I can to help. As a way of helping out our ideals "Africa for the African" at home and abroad, I am organizing an association under the name of the Afro-West India Medical Association, the object of which is to create and make qualified Negro doctors, dentists, opticians, chemists, dispensers and trained nurses as members of this association, who will be willing to take up work in Africa from time to time. Hoping the day is not far distant when we shall sit under our own vine and fig tree with none to make us affraid, believe me fully interested in Africa's redemption. DARR. P. RADWAY. San Pedro de Macoris. PARIS—Gambling is becoming a bigger industry, in France every year. The big winslugs—and big lounges—that Denisville talked about last summer are likely to seem like small change when that luxurious resort reaches the height of its season late in the summer. Denisville doesn't get well started until midsummer, when the millionaires and would-be millionaires pour in from North and South America. Other beaches, pearer England, such as Le Touquet, begin raking in the pounds and frances at Master. This year all the casino on the Channel coast witnessed more gambling on a big scale at Master than last. At Pentecost or Whitsuntide, as the English call it—the Easter receipts were made to seem like pretty small takings. Games of Cheinin de fer went on all night at Le Tonquet, some players staying until 8 a.m. A year ago the caino there was seldom open until dawn. Banks of $10,000 were not uncommon, and the winning or losing of a million francs at a sitting was no rare sight. Whales Hunted from Shore In the Early Days Whales were plentiful in the early days of Nantucket and it is recorded that one ran on the beach and grounded. The Nantucketers cut into it and sold its oil at a satisfactory profit. Soon afterward a spar with cleats was erected on Mill Hill there and the instant whales were sighted a signal was hung to indicate "Thar she blows!" while a lookout frantically called to his fellow Nantucketers. "Town ho! town ho!" Then the islanders would rush off in open boats, harpoon the whale, tow it to the beach and boil its blubber in works set up along the shore. In 1765 Nantucket owned her first ship, the Neptune; by 1772 she had her first sperm oil candle factory; the year 1775 saw the ships Dartmouth, Eleanor and Beaver clear for England with carcasses of oil, discharge and return with carcasses of tea. In 1776 Nantucket had 160 vessels on the seas. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1967 The World Needs Builders, Not Boundaries, Dr. Twedy tells the Northfield Conference, Discussing Loss of Faith BAST NORTHFIELD, Mass., Aug. 26. Responsibility for the seeming loss of religious faith by college students lies not with the college but with the parents of today, the Rev. Dr. Henry Italian Tweedy, professor of the Yale Divinity School, stated in his normen before the Northfield Conference of Religious Education here this week. Dr. Tweedy made a strong plea that the Christian church "stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made you free," instead of being bound down by ancient creeds and traditions which have no part in the present age. "We have as much right today to make creeds as the leaders of the church in former times had," he declared. "Jesus never saw anything of the ancient creeds of the church. There is no quarrel whatever between science and the religion of Jesus. "There is too much masquerading of religion. Too often our religion is not an experience which has been indubitably our own, but facts handed down to us as truths. The testimony of others will no more bring true religion than a critic's criticism will recreate the music of a symphony concert. Until our young people have some sort of religious experience of their own, religion will seem to be a species of emotional moonshine." The college student of today who holds his religion for the most part never had true religion to lose. Dr. Tweedy said. The trouble, he declared, lies in the fact that the students have accepted their parents' religion, cr what others have told them and have never had true religious experience themselves. This he stated, to be true in many homes today, that the parents have never thought out a religion of their own, and accordingly the atmosphere has not been one of true religion. "I am perfectly convinced when I find college students who say they are godless, that their fathers and mothers are goddess. One of the main reasons why the Christian church is not making very rapid progress today is because it lacks intelligent leadership. I do not wonder that the Christian church is making such slow progress today. "I heard a sermon a few Sundays ago which was the most ignorant, awful, bombastic that I have ever heard. That sort of thing is being taught all over the land. They never lost their religion—they never had real religion to lose. That is the condition that most of our young people are in today. One path too many are taking is negation. They do nothing. The result is nothing. Nothingism spells death. Others take faith in a ritual from which the life is flown. Another group takes refuge in dogmatism. As they have not vital experience they are going to take certain intellectual creeds. "What the world needs today is not boundaries but builders."

WORK CO. E. Mayo E. Clark C. Clark J. Willford H. Colack E. Wilson Wm. Cradle G. Mayo Lee Edward A. Bland Panama Malaria Rate WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.—The lowest sick rate for malaria in the Panama Canal Zone since American occupation was recorded for the first six months of 1927. Figures from the Canal Zone place the rate of 4.1 a thousand for that period as compared to 6.3 a thousand for the year 1928. Only two deaths from malaria among Canal employees have been recorded in the last six and one-half years. Both occurring in 1924. ROSTOV-ON-DON, U. S. S. R.—Convicted of theft to the extent of $19,000, a Soviet citizen has been required by the court here to repay the government in instalments extending over a period of 519 years. Nicholas Elistratov, manager of a military storehouse, was accused because much of the contents of the building in his charge had been carried away by the local population. He was required to remit to the State the value of the stolen objects out of his monthly salary of $20 at the rate of $7.50 a month. Native Doctors Banned By Soviet in Turkestan SAMARKAND, Russian Turkey.—All efforts by Soviet medical authorities to get Uskebs and Tadjika to voluntarily adopt European methods of medical treatment having failed, the local Soylet has issued an order forbidding so called medical practice by "Tabiba" or native doctors. These doctors have huge practices. One of them, an Afghan named Abdullah-Khan has "treated" as many as 600 patients in a day. ```markdown ``` Firemen Carry Blaze a Mile and Then Put It Out Ethiopian Herb Gardens When Philadelphia firemen found that they were unable to reach a fire with their hose, they had the fire removed to a more convenient place, a mile distant, where the blaze was speedily extinguished. The fire was in a box car which was shifted after the firemen arrived, to a point where a fireplug was near the tracks.
