"THE TIGER"
Thousands of those in sympathy with Marcus Garvey and rooting for him in his splendid fight in a Federal Court for justice and the vindication of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the year, 1923 were angered at the prosecuting attorney's reference to the great leader as "The Tiger." For, be it said in parenthesis, Mr. Garvey before the bar of American justice was fighting primarily not for Marcus Garvey, but for the good name and the very life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest organization among Negroes, as far back as the mind can travel.
"Gentlemen," said Assistant District Attorney Mattucks to the jury, winding up a splenetic oration, "shall we set the tiger loose?" And the gentlemen didn't. They released Mr. Garvey's co-defendants, Messrs. Garcia, Tobias and Thompson, but they decided to cage "the tiger."
We have no doubt Mr. Mattuck's appeal to the prejudice of the jury was as effective with them as he wished it to be—chills must have run down the spines of those twelve good white men and true at the sight, conjured up for them, of a man of Marcus Garvey's breed and brains at the head of awakened millions of black men. But however happy the epithet, "The Tiger," was to a malignant prosecution, however distasteful the term to thousands of black men who were hoping against hope that Marcus Garvey would receive a square deal, we confess to no perturbation over the jungle appellation. Rather do we regard "The Tiger" as a splendid cognomen by which this remarkable leader of men may well be known in the days to come. For Marcus Garvey is the Tiger of Africa as assuredly and as completely as Georges Clemenceau is the Tiger of France.
When war came and France's existence as a great nation was threatened, it needed a strong hand, an alert mind, a man of stern patriotism and adamantine will to steer the ship of state. Party strife was buried; then none was for the party and all were for the state: The best must rule. And Clemenceau was chosen. As premier of France, nay, dictator, civil and military forces were under his control. Generals took their cue from him or went into the discard. Unfettered, the greatest confidence reposed in him, he spoke for a whole nation in the life-and-death conferences in which he partook with the forces that had come to aid. He clawed remorselessly at the enemies of the common weal. He was satisfied with nothing but 100 per cent. efficiency, 100 per cent. patriotism. He put backbone in his people. The professional hecklers he silenced, and he consigned the moral weaklings to prison cells. He tackled every problem, every crisis, with a contagious optimism. He was a god to his countrymen, and they surnamed him "The Tiger of France." Today, his duty well done, his hand grown unsteady with advancing years, he no longer grasps the helm, but his unconquerable spirit still animates France. In his humble cottage by the sea daily he receives tokens of the love and esteem and gratitude of his countrymen. Tale of the slightest ache that comes to mar his bodily comfort is front page news for the world. Of such timbre, of such girth are tigers made.
It was peculiar that Mack and Mattuck, both Jews, should have figured in Garvey's trial as judge and prosecuting attorney, respectively. It was as if some cynical master mind had decreed that members of a universally despised (though secretly respected) group should lead the assault on the newly reared citadel of the most despised (and secretly feared) race. It was as if some super-showman had arranged to furnish a blase world with the startling, if sorry, spectacle of Judge Mack, one of the staunchest supporters of Zionism (Palestine for the Jews), and Mattucks, a progressive young Jew, virtuously hustling the protagonist of African nationalism (Africa for the Africans), to prison confinement for the maximum term possible under the law.
Mattuck, ambitious young Hebrew, using every wile, spurning no methods, however questionable, to convince twelve 100-percenters (who all the while, under their breaths, must have been muttering curses of prejudice that it was given to two Jews to influence them in their decision) that the greatest living Negro was a common felon, was a droll situation.
Mattuck did his task well; he sent Garvey to Atlanta; he grieved a race. And still through him, unwittingly, his venerable fathers sent one word of cheer to that race.
"Tiger!" We thank thee, Jew, for giving us that word.—THE EDITORS.

HAMPTON COLLEGE CLOSES DOORS AS STUDENTS STRIKE
Strike Called, It Is Alleged, Following Lighting of Hall During Films to Prevent "Necking" Rockefeller, Jr., Asks for Statement
NORFOLK, Va. Oct 16. According to an announcement made by Dr James E. Gregg, president of the Hampton, Normal Institute the students who went on strike a few days ago and caused the suspension of classes will not be taken back again. All but about 300 out of about 1,200 Negro students left for their homes following the strike and a suspension of studies.
Only students acceptable to Dr Gregg and the faculty will be readmitted when classes are resumed October 25. It was announced today
The strike followed an order from the faculty requiring that the assembly room be illuminated during the showing of motion pictures. Complaint had received the faculty that men and women students had indulged in mocking parties in the hall while lights were dim.
About 400 students went on strike, refusing to attend classes or to take part in church singing. They named a committee which requested an audience with the faculty. The request was refused. Then the president ordered all classes suspended, and the scribling students were told to return to their homes. They were furnished with transportation and expenses.
John D. Rockefeller, a large contributor to the institute, has asked for a statement as to conditions at the college. Dr. Gregg Lay, night issued the following statement in part.
"An unfortunate series of events begins last Saturday night, October 8, has been marked by such insubordination and disorder among the students as to make it necessary to close the institute until further notice.
The outbreak was precipitated by dissatisfaction with the lighting of Ogden Hall at a moving picture entertainment on Saturday evening.
On Sunday morning the students in James Hall refused to admit the inspecting officers, and the whole body of students, aside from the choir, took no part in the singing at the morning and evening services. A large number of young men, possibly 400, absorbed themselves from their classrooms and shops. Students who absented themselves from classes and scheduled work are put on probation, such probation to be removed by the commandant as rapidly as evidence is given of satisfactory conduct and right spirit.
"On Thursday morning the staircase was assumed. The administrative board thereupon felt obliged to pass the following resolution:
"We have declared from the beginning that Hampton Institute cannot be carried on with students who are disorderly and lawless. We have welcomed and shall welcome back all students who give evidence of their sincerely purpose to co-operate with the officers and teachers in maintaining peace, order and the mutual friendliness and confidence without which no school can be truly successful. We shall require all who wish to return to apply in writing to the vice-principal for readmission. This application must be accompanied by a pledge of loyalty and obedience. Hampton Institute is closed until further notice."

While Gold Coast Papers Hit Education Methods Governor Seeks Light In South of U. S.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Oct. 12. Sir Frederick Gordon Gugglsberg, governor of the Gold Coast, who recently arrived in New York to observe the educational institutions of the United States and Canada, and who is especially interested in the Negro schools in the Southern States, arrived at Hampton Institute October 8 and spent three days inspecting the work of that institution.
Sir Gordon is one of the outstanding colonial governors of the British Commonwealth of Nations. While his achievements in various directions have been notable, his stimulation and direction of native education in the Gold Coast is of special interest to all concerned in the welfare of native people. The organization of the Prince of Wales University College at Ackmanota toward which the government, has appropriated three million dollars has received world wide recognition as a school whose instruction is arranged and practice based on the economic and social life of the Gold Coast population.
Sir Gordon was born in Canada, educated in England, and has held various important positions in different parts of the British Empire. For several years he was director of engineering and service in West African colonies and during the World War he commanded several brigades on the western front in France. . . .
Sir Gordon's inherent includes Richmond, Hampton Institute, Savannah, Penn School, Reubert, S. C. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., educational institutions at Nashville, Tenn, and other points of educational interest throughout the South.
Emigration to Europe Now Exceeds Immigration
In an analysis of immigration trends by the National Industrial Conference Board at 247 Park avenue, the board makes the assertion that the "Melting Pot" which until recent years assimilated an ever-increasing stream of aliens from the countries of Europe, has now begun to lose 20,000 more emigrants yearly than come to this country.
Before the war the annual net gain of common laborers, from Europe averaged about 200,000 during the period between 1910-1914. During the last three years, since 1924, the report continues, the United States has actually been losing 20,000 more than the annual gain.
Canada and Mexico, which are not subject to the quota limit, the report finds, have now become the chief source of supply for common industrial labor, furnishing together an annual average of 38,000 since 1924 And balancing emigration against immigration from all sources, the net gain in common industrial and farm laborers has been about 25,000 annually over that period. A further analysis shows that although immigration from Europe divides about equally between farm and common industrial laborers, emigration of the latter is about three times as great as emigration of the former.
French Pair to Explore
Africa by Truck
PARIS. Oct. 11. Starting a tour of Africa by motor truck, Roger J. Lacor and Compute Pierre de Vartemont left the Automobile Club of France today for Marseilles. Both sponsors are twenty-two years old. They are driving a light truck which will be taken by boat from Marseilles to Rabat and thence toward Senegal, where recent uprisings cost many lives and through which they will be the first to pass by automobile.
From Rabat they will go to Tchad, and thence into unexplored territory, hoping eventually to strike Tripoli. During this part of the journey they will be thrown entirely on their own ingenuity for food and supplies. They have set no true limit for the completion of the journey.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1927.
Approach of the Festive Season Should Mark Renewal of Efforts for Release of Hon. Marcus Garvey
Officers, Members and Friends. Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Dear Co-Workers—The encouragement, hope and inspiration that the Hon. Marcus Garvey has instilled in his own race, and in down-trodde humanity in general, is the intense concern of mankind the world over. People of all races and in all walks of live are freely voicing their sentiments in behalf of the release of the founder and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association from Atlanta federal prison.
We are again approaching the holiday season—Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is the time when we, with solemn retrospection and reverence, give thanks to the Creator for the many kindnesses and blessings of which we have been the recipients.
There is nothing that could make our joy so complete; and bring our minds and souls as fully into harmony with the spirit of the season as would the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey from the Atlanta Fedeal prison.
Since February of this year the second application for pardon has been filed, and no decision has been given by the President. Therefore we ask that you immediately line up your members the task of not only writing President Coolidge, but writing and interviewing all influential men, who will in turn urge the President to grant our request.
Therefore as the personal representative of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder and President General of The Universal Negro Improvement Association, I herewith do earnestly solicit every member and friend of our beloved organization to put forth their most tangible effort at this particular time.
Even though we are holding things together at headquarters and acting on Mr. Garvey's instructions, yet we need his presence, and, above all, do not want him to suffer any longer in prison.
Hoping to hear from you soon as to what you have done along the lines indicated, we are.

Negro Farms Exhibit At Georgia Fair Shows Much Progress
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 10 - At the Southeastern Fair, held here last week, the Negro exhibit was a striking evidence of progress on the part of the Negro farms, homes and schools of the State. Occupying the whole floor of the agricultural building, it packed a space of 20,000 square feet with a remarkable display of farm, home and school products—the work of Georgia's best rural Negro citizenship. Nineteen county exhibits were in evidence, many of them elaborate and inclusive; a large number of schools contributed the best work of their pupils; and in addition there were individual exhibits running into the thousands, chiefly beautiful specimens of handicraft and needlework.
On every hard wore encouraging evidences of diversified farming, soil improvement, seed selection, better marketing, meat production, and other characteristics of progressive agriculture. That the farm women are keeping pace was indicated by an endless array of canned fruits, vegetables, artistic needlework, and hand-made articles of taste for the home.
The counties represented, for the most part, were those in which Negro farm and homo demonstration agents are employed, of whom there are in the State twelve men and fifteen women. The exhibits grew largely out of their efforts to improve rural conditions and methods, and to raise the level of Negro life in general. The results constituted a remarkable testimonial to the value of their work in promoting higher standards of efficiency, greater production and better citizenship.
Most hopeful of all, perhaps, were the school plays, which were cast and varied. These consisted not only of the usual school work—maps, posters, essays, historical sketches, drawings and the like—but also of an unbelievable variety of depressive sciences and manual training products, indicating that the training of mind and hand is going along side by side. One of the schools displayed a poster boasting the fact that of its 255 graduates not one had ever been convicted or accused of crime.
The exhibit was viewed by thousands of visitors and received the highest commendation on all hands.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Oct. 10.—Barrie- ried in his home near the downtown section here, Charles Pinkard, a crusaded Negro, wounded twelve persons—officers and onlookers—one officer perhaps fatally, late today, before plain clothes Policeman Wandy Sand- feor glimped to an adjourning root and, opening fire at close range, fatally wounded him.
Pinkard wounded Deputy Siforiff Sam Williams when the office went to his home to investigate an alleged attack by Pinkard on George Kirkhoff, white, a City Henth Inspector. The Negro suddenly became insane, it was said, when Kirkhoff wont to inspect a soft dykin stand he operated Kirkhoff was injured when he attempted to quiet Pinkard.
Standing off all attempts to capture him for two hours, Pinkard, already weak from tour-gas attacks and wounds, middles his last attack when he rushed to a window to check the flank attack by Bandefer from an adjoining roof. Several shots were exchanged before the Negro fell.
The battle drew hundreds of people from the business section who rushed through the police lines and into the fire from both officers and Pinkard.
Aged Negro Flogged, Forced to Sell Farm;
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Oct. 16—While Attorney General McCullotton Davis and their special investigators were planning the prosecution which they hope, will end masked floggings and lynchings in this State, 17 alleged Ku Klux Klanens were held in $35,000 ball in Creshaw County on charges of kidnapping and assault. They were indicted last night. Tomorrow, in Jefferson County, W. J. Worthington, Birmingham real estate operator; L. C. Allibert, said to be his personal attorney, and eight others will go on trial for flogging Arthur Hitt, an aged Negro. Hitt was intimidated into selling his farm at a fraction of its real value. After tonight's conference of the State's legal officers, it was announced they had established a powerful motive for Worthington, to force Hitt to sell his farm and leave the county.
A Talented West Indian
LONDON.-Bruce James, a native of British Guiana, who opened the "Christia" unit organ, installed at the Edmonton Empire, is one of the most talented exponents of the organ. In 1910 he came to England as the Government open classical scholar and went up to Keble College, Oxford, till the outbreak of the war. On the classical side Mr. Jones won many honors, and in 1913 was proxime accessil for the Gaimard Greek Prose award. After his discharge from the army in 1918 he definitely devoted himself to musical studies under the leading professors in London and Budapest. His first kinema job was as organist at the Brixton Pavilion under Jean Michaud, and has since been at the Kinbun Brange, Coronet, Nosting Hill, and the Globe, Actor. He is also a gifted pianist and has given many West End planeforte recitals.
P. C. N. B.
Didn't Get It
It seems to me that the reputation of Warren Gamaliel Harding suffers greatly at the hands of Nan Britton in "The President's Daughter." And to my mind the incident weighing most heavily against him concerns an evening upon which he offered to go out into the streets of New York and procure for Miss Britton a bottle of champagne. Mr. Harding was at this time the Republican nominee for President of the United States. But this is not the limit of his shame. Miss Britton reports that he came back after several hours and confessed that he could not get it—Hoywood Bryan in The Nation.
Three spectators were wounded. Attempts to rout the Negro with tear gas and fire were unsuccessful. While members of the riot sound drew his fire others rushed the house from an opposite direction and set fire to it. The fire burned a moment and then died out. Pinkhawk rushed to a window in time to wound an officer who had failed to get out of range. Another attempt to burn the stronghold was made when an armored police car was driven to the side of the house and tear gas bombs were rained in through the windows, but Pinkhawk was on the watch and when the Wound bearing torches came within range poured a volley down on them. Officers said the tear gas appeared to have little effect on him.
The officers had difficulty in removing the body from the house through the thousands of people who awarded in the streets and the yard. The body was taken to Police Headquarters and fater to a Negro mortuary, where it was held under guard. Few of those wounded were believed to have suffered seriously and all but two or three were released from hospitals after having their wounds treated.

Noted Columnist Dispusses" the Critic's Estimate of Artistic Achievement of the Negro—"Can't Kill Talent by Sowing It with Salt"
(From The Nation)
Henry Menchen has been appraising, in the last few weeks, the artistic achievement of the Negro in America. "Not so much," is the substance of Mr. Menchen-werdlst. The task of setting down to a peppy weight the ponderability of an individual contribution is difficult enough and a complete survey of the trophy room of a race falls beyond the powers of any critic. Naturally enough, Mr. Menchen has overlooked a certain number of events. Once, at the home of a Broadway star, we played the game of twenty questions and with the aid of only a small proportion of my allotment I narrowed the field down to the fact that the unknown person was living, American, and a practitioner in the arts. There I bogged for they said "No" when I mentioned literature, music, the graphic arts, and oratory. "There are no other arts," I pleased and gave up, which earned me the lifelong emity of my hostess.
"I suppose," she said with "bitterness, "you never heard of the art of acting?" And to my amazement and indignation Walter Hampton turned out to be the name I was supposed to guess.
There was some justification for my failure to remember, but if one forgets that actors may be "artists, the fault lies partly with the players. They have thrown the word about with such indiscrimination that the definition of "artist" has been reduced to "everybody on a vanidade bill except the trained seals."
However, they also serve who interpract, and Mr. Mencken errs when he omits from his catalogue the name of any Negro singer, orator, dancer or actor. Suroly there gare half a dozen Negro concert performers who should be called "artist" even in a community chary in the use of the word. Probably Mr. Mencken is right when he says that at the moment there is no Negro composer, novelist, pastor, or poet deserving the first rank. But Roland Hayes may not be brushed aside, nor Paul Robeson, nor Taylor Gordon. Indeed I would not limit my list to those who appear with serious intent in concert halls. One must look to the cabaret and varieties. If Racquel Meller is an artist then so are Clara Smith and Ethel Waters. And not to stress the point unduly "St. Louis Blues" is a ballad infinitely finer than anything which the Spanish woman ever-consisted to sing. "Feeling tomorrow just like I feel today" is a line worthy of any contrulto's son. And if monologists belong among the Lord's affinities I would like to put the late Charlie Case within the Hall of Fame.
But I am not competent to make any complete list of notable Negroes engaged in various interpretive arts. I would like to beg the question by a few degrees and discuss the artistic potentialities of the Negro in the mass rather than pick out certain individuals. History will not record the names of thousands of brown men and (Continued on page 6)

They have now multiplied to over twelve million strong—thousands and thousands of professional men—doctors, lawyers, teachers and professors in all walks of life; many of whom have become wealthy and are living in beautiful homes. They have churches by the thousands and any number of schools. No people of color in any other part of the world have the opportunity for development as they have. When they were brought here they left millions and millions behind in their native land. These are still in darkness, for they have not the light. Now the world and perhaps the whole heavenly host of departed saints are looking and hoping that this small bodyguard of Negroes who are runners of civilization and Christianity respecting the black race of Africa will carry the gospel and a knowledge of civilization back to their unfortunate brothers and sisters.
Long the Macedonian cry has been wafted across the waves—"Come over and help us." Millions and millions of anxious eyes, from the faces of our black brothers and sisters have looked tearfully across the ocean to see us coming to their rescue. They have heard our orators boast of our great progress, our development, our achievements. The news of our onward march has reached them and more anxiously they await and expect us. They have seen the white man come to all parts of Africa by thousands. Then they wonder why we don't come. Their country has been devastated, their land has been taken, the rights of a civilized being have been denied many of them in their own country, at their own door, by the white intruder. Their country has been robbed in a million ways by a foreign enemy.
Their greatest handicap in protecting themselves is their own unenlightened minds. They have point them. How long will black people of Africa look for us with
sent ministers to us telling of their sad plight and plead with us to come to their rescue, but we have refused. While one class of white people have oppressed them, another class have had sympathy for them and sent out thousands of missionaries. Much money has been given to build hospitals and schools that they might be developed and helped, but they wonder why we don't join in and help. They wonder at the white man having practically seven thousand foreign missionaries in Africa, while there are not one hundred, no, not fifty American-born Negroes there. They wonder at the white man sending nearly three thousand ordained ministers, while there are not thirty American born ordained Negro ministers there. They wonder why we can be so happy and rejoice so much while they are in so much pain and misery. Even heaven wonders, and is disappointed as they see our selfishness, our wait for sacripless spirit. How long will we dispatchearful eyes, but in vain? How long will disease destroy their millions, while we have the remedy to cure and withhold it? When shall we go to them, building hospitals, schools, churches, yea, medical schools and universities? Only when the majority of our pastors will seriously consider their duty to Africa and have their people to give largely for Africa's redemption.—one of the very greatest things that Negroes can do in this world. The thing that will give people the greatest name by the generations yet unborn will be their going back in large numbers as missionaries, as indus rial teachers, as heralds of higher education, carrying the blessings of Christianity to every part of Africa, so that from many parts of that mighty land princes will be rising and millions and millions will be stretching forth their hands to God.
AFRICANS, VERSED IN DOCTRINES OF GARVEYISM, SAYS DR. ABIMBER, PREPARING THEMSELVES TO STRIKE BLOW FOR AFRICA'S REDEMPTION
African Student, Here from Europe to Further Studies, Says Africa Is Truly Awake—Garveyism Rampant Throughout the Continent
Hon. E. B. Knox, Personal Representative of President-General, Speaks on Race Consciousness and Race Pride and Makes an Appeal for The Negro World
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, October 16—There was a large attendance here tonight on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local. Judging from the demeanor of the audience, something of the old-time spirit is returning to these gatherings, the members evincing a settled disposition to smile at their difficulties and so work as to place New York once again undisputably in the van of all divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is safe to say that the Mother Division has entered a new lease of life and vigor, determined to maintain its place in the world as the fountain source of the program of African redemption.
As has been the case for the last two months, Hon. James Miller, a Vice-President of the Local, presided over the meeting, while seated on the platform was Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey.
The proceedings were enlivened by an excellent concert program, after which addresses were delivered and an appeal for support of The Negro World made by Mr. Knox.
DR. ABIMBER ENTHUSES
An interesting visitor was Dr. Abimber, of the Cameroons, Africa, recently arrived. In the United States to undergo a course of studies at Columbia University. Mr. Abimber, who has spent several years in Europe, having been a student at a Berlin university for three years, is an accomplished linguist, speaking, besides several African dialects, German, Spanish, English and Greek with great fluency.
to him that if Western civilization had given only a single vice to the Negro, it was assuredly the vice of revealing to the enemy things that should be locked in his breast—it seemed that when the Negro left Africa he abdicated the ability to keep his own counsel and guard his own secrets. So he must not say too much.
Africans Well Informed
The speaker gave his readers much food for thought as, addressing himself to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and
He gave his hearers an enthralling picture of the enthusiasm of the Africans for the redemption plan of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and declared that his "Western brothers away from home" would be surprised to know the extent and the method of the preparations which Africans at home were making to strike a blow, if necessary, for the reclamation of their land from the clutches of the despoiler.
Mr. Abimber evoked laughter as he observed that, though in the United States only two months, he had learnt that it was not wise to discuss such topics in public meetings. It seemed

The speaker gave his hearers much food for thought as, addressing himself to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the views and dogmas of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, he revealed a remarkable understanding and grasp. There was little that occurred in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in America, little that concerned the Hon. Marcus Garvey, that was not specially known in Africa from one end of the 'continent to the other, in spite of the efforts of the alarmed stranger within the gates to keep it hidden.
And then, without warning, Mr. Abimber gratified his hearers, or at least those of his audience who understood, the language, by bursting forth in a blaze of eloquence in Spanish. Evidently, more at home with that language than with English, so finished his skill, that even those

He drove home his points in convincing fashion, showing clearly how the white and yellow races and risen to their present position in the world through the possession of these qualities in full measure. He concluded his address with an eloquent appeal for support for The Negro World and expressed the hope that various branches of the association would realize their obligation to support the official organ of the association and the torch-bearer of African redemption to the full.
SNOW IN AFRICA
American Scientist Perhaps Exaggerates a Sane and Sound Belief
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Dr. James P. Chapin, associate curator of birds of the American Museum of Natural History, who recently returned from an eighteen months' expedition into central Africa, reports that his troupe started from Mombassa with sixty native African porters, all but two of whom, however, turned back when they encountered snow upon the peaks of the Rowenzori mountain range. There is a belief among the natives of central Africa, Dr. Chapin explained, that they will die if their flesh comes into contact with the snow on the mountain tops. C. P. B.
What Is News?

What is now? It's an old question, and there are many answers. We offer this sample of the foreign correspondence of the Associated Press, culled from its setting, between the fight films and a bomb plot, on the front page of the New York World: In the white uniform of a nurse, with a red cross on her forehead and chest, the "silm gray princess," as the Rumantiana call her, makes a striking figure of beauty, benevolence and benignity, her beautiful bobbed blond hair growing in such profusion that it covers her sad, blue eyes and her deep dimples.

Elaborate Ceremony Marks Jubilee Day Program—Institution Now Free from Debt
Fisk University paid its tribute to the nation, the founders of the institution, and the memory of its famed Jubilee Singers on October 6. This date was the 65th anniversary of the Jubilee Singers, a band of nine who, together with George L. White, their music teacher left Nashville October 6, 1871, to secure funds for Fisk University.
The entire ceremony brought back in a vivid and dramatic way the trials of the Jubilee Singera. The singers left Nashville unheralded. Every one despaired of their success. They returned the darlings of both the United States and Europe. They had been commanded to sing before Queen Victoria, the King of Holland, the Emperor of Germany; they had been breakfasted by Gladstone, dined by the Earl of Shaftesbury, and painted by Queen Victoria's court painter, Havel. With them they brought nearly $100,000, with which they buft Jubilee Hall. Sacrificing all their time to the university, this troupe of singers began a tradition of old religious folk songs which has lasted until the present. Each year since, the university has sent out a band of singers. In 1926 they toured Europe and were imploded everywhere. Mussolini presented the singers autographed pictures. The following telegram was sent relative to the approval of the Queen of Spain:
Her Majesty Queen of Spain attended concert given by Pisk. Jubilee Singers today. Remained for entire program and six encores. Singers had great success. Crowded house. VARNBY. Only last year they sang at the White House at the special request of Mrs. Coolidge.
The Jubilee Day program this year included some of the most brilliant leaders of the New South." In the morning the meeting held in Fisk Memorial Chapel was addressed by Congressman Joseph W. Byrns, of the Sixth Tennessee District; Mrs. Mabol Lewis Imes, one of the original Jubilee Singers, and Hon. J. C. Naplor, a member of the board of trustees, who burned the notes for $149,000 which the university had been unable to pay for years. This act officially freed the institution from debt and made available a million dollars of endowment. President Thomas E. Jones read messages of congratulations from all over the country.
Following the morning meeting there was a procession to Bennett Field for the flag raising exercises.
In the afternoon many alumni, some of whom came from as far off as California, held a meeting of reminiscences.
At night a Jubilee concert was given, and Dr. Edwin Mims, of Vanderbilt University, one of the most liberal writers in the South, spoke. The chief feature of the evening's service was the singing of the spiritual, "Chilly Water," by Mrs. Imes. Nearly seventy, her voice still retains its mellow resonance and wide register, which it had in the days of Henry Ward. Beascher, when she was known as the little girl who could go as low as B flat.
Women's Eyes Larger Than Those of Men
Women's eyes not only appear larger than men's, they actually are larger, concludes Dr. Chia Chi Wang, a Chinese anatomist, who has been studying the relative sizes and weights of the eyes of the two sexes. The experiments were made on rats, but the rule holds good for mankind, says Hygola. Women's eyes may not actually weigh more than those of men, but they are heavier in proportion to the weight of the whole body. Perhaps man's greater admiration for large-cyed women may, by natural selection, have perpetuated and increased this greater size of the feminine eyeball.
If it hurts your back to lift a heavy object, if you have strained the back muscles, if a "cold has settled in your back," or if you suffer from lumbago, put on a Red Cross, Kidney Plaster and you will get relief almost at once.
It gives the support needed by the weakened, sore muscles. It provides a continuous automatic massage with every movement of the body, thus relieving congestion and stimulating circulation in the affected tissues. The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, nore, lame muscles, quieting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves, and restoring the free use of the muscles.

WHITE SCHOOLS IN MISSISSIPPI BAR CHINESE BY COURT RULING
Court Defines as Colored Any Race Other Than Caucasian Attorneys for Chinese Pleaded Violation of 1868 Treaty Lower Court Decision Reversed
JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 11. American-born Chinese were barred from white schools in Mississippi by a ruling handed down by the Mississippi Supreme Court here today.
A Court ruling in the case of W. F. Bond, State Superintendent of Education, against Joe Tif Fung, an adult, and Joe Tin Lun, a minor, said that friction, disorder and general unhappiness would be occasioned if efforts were made to associate the Caucasian race with the colored race in Mississippi schools.
The Court defined as colored any race other than Caucasian, and hold that it would be necessary for Joe Tin Lun to enroll in a colored school. In making the ruling the Supreme Court reversed the finding of a Coahoma County Circuit which would have required the State Superintendent and teachers of the Dublin Consolidated Schools to permit the Chinese pupils to enroll.
Attorneys for Lun contended the refusal to permit the boy to enter the school was in violation of the articles of the Burlingame Treaty of 1868 between the United States and China in which it was agreed that Chinese children of an edutable age might attend any of the public schools in the United States that were in any way supported by the United States Government.
The Supreme Court held that exclusion of Chinese from the white schools was not in violation of the treaty, in that colored schools were as much American schools as the white schools.

The really happy man of today never laughs, declares Professor F. Avoling, University of London psychologist. Laughter is an 'ugly mask indulged in only by the 'superior' or 'discontented man, according to the professor, but smiles, he says, are beautiful "gasmarks of human sympathy and understanding in a heart that is at peace with itself and all the world." There are seventy Negro women doctors in the United States.

Mr. H. Delany Appointed Assistant U. S. Attorney
NEW YORK, Oct. 11--Mr. Charles H. Tuttle, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, today announced that he had recommended to the Attorney General that Mr. Hubert T. Delany, residing at 2605 Seventh Avenue, New York City, be appointed an Assistant United States Attorney to all one of the vacancies in his office.
Mr. Delany is the son of Bishop H. B. Delany, one of the few colored bishops of the Protestant-Episcopal Church in Amorica (Diocese of North Carolina). Mr. Delany graduated from St. Augustine's School at Raleigh, N. C., in May, 1910, where he was president of his class, and from the College of the City of New York in June, 1923, which, in point of enrollment, is the largest in the world. He won the Board of Trustees' prize in oratory, along with other recognitions of merit, and was elected by his classmates to be president of the Education Club and president of the Douglass Society. After his graduation he shipped on a cattle boat, sailing from Montreal to Liverpool, thus working his way across the Atlantic. After his return, he recummed the study of law at New York University from which he graduated in June, 1926. Since his admission to the bar, he has been engaged in practice at 240 Broadway, New York City. Dean Paul Klapper, of the School of Education of the College of the City of New York, wrote to the United States Attorney concerning him:
"Mr. Delany was a student of mine in two courses in education. He came to us from St. Augustine's in May, 1919, and graduated in June, 1923, with fifteen credits beyond those required for the degree. The subjects in which he specialized in the latter part of his course were History, Education and Psychology. His work here was distinctly above the average, about 80 percent. It was characterized by unusual earnestness. He won' the ora-
torical prize and was elected by his classmates president of the Education Club and president of the Douglas Society. His standing was so high that he was recommended for exemption from the oral and personal examination given by the examiners of the New York School system. In addition to his college work, Mr. Delany has had valuable experience in certain phases of psychological examinations. He has corrected more than three thousand group tests given to ex-service men who are trainees at the college. I have found Mr. Delany thoroughly reliable and unusually competent in all that he undertook to do for me. He has a sense of loyalty that makes him most desirable on any staff of conscientious workers."
Mr. Tuttle was also in receipt of a letter from the Hoporable, Emmatt J. Scott, who is the Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University and formerly Secretary to the late Booker T. Washington. Mr. Scott wrote concerning Mr. Dolany:
"Mr. Dolany is a young man of great promise, upright character, and is one of the few men admitted to the bar upon his first examinations. Aside from his reliability and competency, he is, as Dr. Paul-Klapper says, loyal and courageous. He is tactful and possesses a character which should commend him to your favor and consideration. He comes from one of our best known families, that of Bishop H. B. Dolny."
Mr. Tuttle also has as an Assistant United States Attorney in his office another colored mth. Mr. Richard L. Baltimore, who resides at 200 West 135th Street, New York City.

DOES THE REALLY HAPPY PERSON EVER LAUGH?
OLIVER GOLDSMITH, the sweetest singer of the simple life and the commonplace, says, "the loud laugh marks the vacant mind." A scientist, writing recently in London Mail, says, "the really happy man never laughs, or seldom, though he may smile. He does not need to laugh, for laughter, like weeping, is a relief of mental tension, and the happy are not overstrung." This same scientist also accentuates the fact that "moreover, it is an idiosyncrasy of humankind alone. No other animal, except the hyena, laughs, and the hyena's laugh, like that of many humans, is a snarl. Why, after all, should an animal laugh? What in the world is there for animals to laugh at?"
Laugh who will, but the fact remains that there is nothing in living nor in dying to laugh at; it is all so commonplace and tragical.
INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY IS WITHOUT MORALS OR MERCY
and understood that the principle of dishonesty in the individual has come to be recognized and controlled by law. We do not trust our neighbor and he does not trust us. When he sells us goods we are sure he will give us short weight or change and damaged goods if we do not watch him closely. The small vendor on this corner asks five cents for the same goods the vendor on the next corner asks six cents for. A system of cheatery runs through all of our buying and selling. The best cheater has the biggest bank account and stands best with his neighbors. That he is rich, settles it; how he got rich does not matter.
Rev. John Haynes Holmes of the Community Church, in New York city, is not only a great preacher but a great humanitarian. He preaches a national and personal morality which he practices, and he is prominent in all good works for the uplift and betterment of mankind. Color lines and bars do not worry him, and he has little patience with them. That is to say, he is a Christian minister of light and leading. There are all too few of his kind in the land. In a recent sermon in his church, Mr. Holmes, talking about national and international morals, expressed a conviction that unless the State is forced to obey moral law, civilization is doomed to extinction, and enlarged upon the subject as follows:
"As soon as an individual puts on public life," said Mr. Holmes, "he is supposed to put off his moral standards. As a private citizen, I am not supposed to lie, but if I am sent abroad as a diplomatic representative, I am not only allowed but expected to lie for the good and glory of my country.
"As a private citizen, I am not allowed to steal, but if I am Secretary of State, I can send marines-to Nicaragua, steal from that little nation, murder Nicaraguans and lie to Americans, and no one will think worse of me for what I am doing."
"The state lives outside the moral law," said Mr. Holmes. "Not a day passes but Washington, or London, or Paris, does things which, if done by an individual, would disgrace him forever. If there were any ethical principles in state affairs at all, we should soon see the disappearance of what are now nothing more nor less than public crimes."
This is a terrible arraignment. The truth it embodies is appalling to those who wish to feel that men are growing better instead of worse in their dealings one with the other and in their national and international relations. The United States has joined hands with other English-speaking governments in the conquest, by force or fraud, of weaker nations whose peoples they have no intention of incorporating into their system of social, civil and economic government, but purely to get all of the land and labor out of them at the least cost. Not only has the United States done this in Nicaragua, but in Haiti, San Domingo, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. "The Master hatf need," they say, and proceed to grab and hold on and to exploit for their benefit those who are too weak to defend and protect their own interests. It has become the rule of international diplomacy to do this.
When dishonesty between persons and nations becomes accepted as a principle of individual, national and international relations, how can the moral standards be other than lowered everywhere? That appears to be the tendency, and a few men in Europe and America, like Mr. Holmes, see it and have the courage to denounce it and to demand a reaction from it. We have the decline and fall of Babylon and Greece and Rome by reason of the very same principle of social, civil and economic corruption, to teach our statesmen and preachers and philosophers the dangers they invite, but they do not understand.
British rule in India has blasted national hope and development, aid in the West Indies and British Africa the policy of robbing the natives of their land and of reducing them to a condition of involuntary service and taxation, restricted to the lowest form of labor so as not to come into competition with white European labor, with no part whatever in the making and administration of the laws has become a policy as remorseless in its workings as the laws of the Medes and Persians, without flexibility and without mercy. The voice of dissent, of protest, of organized resistance, is being lifted up and heard in the British West and East Indies and in Africa, and it is bound to grow in volume and influence until it reaches and influences those in the seats of power.

Clean Mouths Help Health
We all know the story of the man
who said "New York will be a great
city when it's finished!"
Our bodies are something like New York. We must take care of them constantly so that they may repair the damage done in the wear and tear of every day living. Old tissues are wearing out and new ones must be built up to take their places, if we are to be really healthy and keep ourselves in a1 condition. Health is a complex matter, depending largely upon the care we give our bodies. We must therefore not neglect any part of them.
One thing you should certainly remember to do, and that is to take care of your teeth. Go to the dentist once or, better still, twice a year for an examination. Have your teeth cleaned by a dentist or dental hygienist at least twice a year. Have whatever work is necessary on your teeth done regularly.
You are particular about the condition of the food you eat. You want only the purest and cleanest food. It is especially important to have the mouth in good condition to receive food. If you do not clean your teeth regularly (at least twice a day; after every meal and before going to bed at night) you cannot keep your mouth clean and in a healthy condition.
It is true that many diseases are traceable to bacteria, which entered the blood stream via the mouth. So it is of the utmost importance to keep the mouth clean in order to protect the body from disease.
Criticism has much to do in the making of public servants. No one should think himself above criticism. But all men are not capable of criticizing their fellows. The best of us may err at times in passing upon pthers' acts, but none of us should attempt to criticize another before studying the person criticized and the work that person is doing. Unjust criticism may no injure the person that the task be made impossible and good work made to fall completely. Our intents should ever be good ones. The intent should not only be good, but we should be able to convince the person criticized that our intent is good. If we are not capable of so convincing him, it would be better not to criticize. But there be some you cannot convince. It is this sort that makes criticism dangerous to the-one who is given thereto.

MR. GARVEY. AS A POET
GREAT-many people have been surprised, and pleased at discovering that Honorable Matucus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is a poet of a high order; that is, that he possesses lift large measure the divine power of expressing himself in the language of poetry, which a distinguished authority has declared to be the sublimest expression of the human soul after perfection. Only those who have suffered greatly or felt the ecstacies of joy in its highest and purest form, are capable of reaching the depths in poetic expression which affect and move great masses of people.
Lord Byron says, In effect, "Many are poets who have never penned a thought and perhaps the best." The poets who have sung spontaneously, as it were, without suffering much, as Homer, David, Milton and Dante suffered, or loved deeply, as Petrarch, Shakespeare, Lord Byron and Edgar Allan Poe loved, only skim the surface of human sorrow and joy. They do not fathom the depths of human hope and aspiration. They please and charm but do not transport us.
Mr. Garvey has loved deeply and suffered deeply. In the few years he has lived he has experienced the extremes of human joy and agony. If he did not possess a poetic consciousness he would be mute or express himself in common phrase, as the average person does; but, having the poetic consciousness, he not only writes poetry that moves the reader but he writes and speaks the prose which reaches and moves the masses. In The Negro World of September 17, we published a poem by Mr. Garvey, under the heading, "God in Man." in which the image of God in the image of man, as stated in the first chapter of Genesis, twenty-seventh verse, as follows: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them," is very poetically brought out, as the following three concluding stanzas will
But man has wandered far from the image and spirit of his creator and by the eating of flesh and crossing of breeds made something that does not resemble the original man.
WEAKNESS OF THE MEXICANS
MEXICO has just passed through a short but bloody civil war, in which the primitive way of asking no quarter and giving none was practiced, the conquering forces trying and shooting on the spot the defeated enemy. This sort of warfare is generally practiced by savages but is outlawed by civilized people. The trouble with the Mexicans is that they are a mixed race of people who have had time to become wholly amalgamated. They are made up of all races of the Spanish, Indian and Negro races, and the disposition to fight among themselves upon slightest provocation, without any appeal to law and legal process, is an inheritance of each of the races, which makes self-government among them a difficult business. Whenever there is to be an election a swarm of candidates darkens the political horizon and revolutions follow as a matter of course. It has been that way in Mexico and most of the Latin American States, and with black Haiti and mulatto San Domingo and Cuba, and it has made stable government impossible, crippled the industrial development and impaired the credit of the countries concerned.
It will be a long time before Mexico becomes a self-governing democracy in the sense that the United States and Canada are. Its cross of races will have to disappear in the evolution of a single race type, with a public school education and a political and religious tolerance, now generally lacking in the people, more generally disfused among them.
War is still the curse but chief reliance of men in settling their disputes. "The parliament of man, the federation of the world," Lord Tennyson dreamed of, is still only a dream, an aspiration of the few idealistic spirits of the world.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
Negroes are still carrying the tin cup. Yesterday they carried it in garbled and tollbent hands, reaching out from a frayed coat sleeve. Today they jiggle the cup still, but the hand that holds it has manicured malls and the coat sleeve is likely to be of hand-tailored brondoloth or imported braid. The man who yesterday, orried for help from a humble shanty or a broken-down buggy, today walls for aid from a Louis XVI drawing room or the tilted upholstery of a luxurious sedan.—California Voice.

If the American white man really know how the new generation of black people and many of the old, who have undergone a complete metamorphosis, are thinking, he would be dumb-founded, amazed and surprised. True enough, human nature is the same the whole world over, but environment, tradition, creates degrees of difference. One thing the world should know, we are always thinking about freedom and liberty, but as to how we will get it is another question.—Seattle Enterprise.
After all world troubles are the outcome of greed, passion and uncharisableness. When you seek to grab from another that which is his, you have diverted the course of world harmony into confusion and discord, and that persisted in logically and scientifically results in strife and wars—Gold Coast Leader.
That which goes by the name of "Negro question" is a part of the greater question of all humanity. Nobody is qualified to express an opinion embracing general conceptions of human development as related to difficulties and handicaps which confront the Negro unless he has the broader and deeper knowledge which constitutes the basis of a philosophy—Washington Tribune.

Dr. Locke's Alternatives
The Bi-Racial Solution
Garvey Points the Way

FREOL V. REEVES

(Concluded)
Lastly, but by no means leastly, the prudite Dr. Locke presents to a des-
spised and bewildered black America two suggestions of "ways to win" this
unqualified battle of the races. Dr. Locke says:
"Otherwise, two alternatives, each entailing heavy and general social loss, would confront the talented Negro; either to march off to foreign fields and repeat for the whole American situation what has already tragically happened in the South, where the best and sturdiest have moved off and left an inert and almost leaderless mass to constitute a still heavier social drag and danger; or else to turn in narrowed and vindictive vision to the only course that will give him a chance and ewing the hammer of mass action behind the outtting edge of genius."
In other words, Dr. Locke is telling the much harassed and ostracized American Negro that, in case the enemy continues to show no signs of social capitulation, there still remains the privilege of packing up "bag and message" and departing to foreign fields, or, in the last-oxtromity, to turn and fight with all of the weapons at hand for those things which the Negro believes to be rightfully his. We suspect that it was this final and exceedingly pugnacious suggestion to the Negro masses which so stirred the sire of Mr. Stoddard, who closes both of Dr. Locko's alternatives" as "threats."
We are much interested in Dr. Löcke's suggestion of the possibility of the Negro's departing to what he pleases to term "foreign fields." We wondered if he, by any chance, meant Africa. It is a great pleasure for the Negro who hopes that at some time the Negro will realize his dream of establishing a successful and progressive Negro nation, to observe the seeds of Garveyism slowly, but surely bearing fruit. The time was when few Negroes, and especially those of the higher grade of intellectuity, even considered emigration as a possible solution for their social and economic problems in America. It is interesting to note the change of attitude a decade of propaganda has brought about.
As for the hammer, of mass action behind the cutting edge of genius. Mr. Stoddard construes this to mean race war directed by educated leaders. To this Mr. Stoddard replies:
"Another point should be clearly understood. If Mr. Locke's arguments do not convince us, still lose do his threats intimidate us. For Mr. Locke does threaten, in no uncertain voice. He tells us that unless we accede to his demands, the insurgent Negro intelligentsia which he represents will either quit the country or will remain here as aggrieces of race war and social revolution. That is not a pleasant prospect, but it will not make us "capitulate," gracefully or otherwise. For we White Americans are quite ready to risk possible ill from racial strife or revolutionary agitation, rather than endure the certain ill that would ensue from the loss of our race identity."
That's pretty plain, isn't it? Depart in peace, or stay and fight, but you just can't win. Sounds rather hopeless. But is it?
We like to read such lucid and informative articles as these on the American race question as it concerns the Negro. There is nothing more helpful than to learn what the other fellow is thinking. Negroes should welcome such discussions. For all of its finality, there are many vulnerable points in Mr. Stoddard's article. It is palpably the opinion of a man born with a closed mind on the Negro question. We take no offense because the number of Negroes in America, or anywhere else, who long for amalgamation, per so, with the white race is very small indeed. What the Negro wants is hard to define. But an open-minded white man might be able to see it. The Negro wants to be a MAN wherever he resides. And as such he wants to enjoy every privilege enjoyed by every other man in that particular section of the earth. The great grievance that the Negro has against White America is that he has been joked into believing that manhood rights have been extended him, when, in reality, he remains a serif ground relentlessly under the heel of his white oppressor.
Mr. Stoddard views what he chooses to call the "color-line" as a great wall which the Negro is making a fruitless endeavor to climb, but which is being successfully guarded by the white man. As a matter of fact, we wonder why there should be any fight at all if the white man is so determined to keep the white race white. Amalgamation is determined by the mood of the individual. Can the white man and the black man mix against the will of either? There must be a chink somewhere in Mr. Stoddard's armor.
Mr. Stoddard suggests a bi-racial arrangement in America, by which the Negro would keep on his side of the fence, and the white man on his. He cites the South as the place where a fundamental" form of this Utopian arrangement is now being tried out, more successfully. Well, we won't accept Mr. Stoddard's word as to the success of this "bi-racial programs" down South; we will ask any Negro living in the South from the most highly intellectual to the most ignorant, what he thinks about the success of it.
And through all of this very enlightening discussion we hear absolutely nothing about the economic and political phase of the race question. In the final analysis, there are the open wounds in the breast of the American Negro. Social, or "cultural," equality extended to the deserving few, as Dr. Locks suggests, is of minor value when it is weighed in with the fundamental privileges which are supposed to accompany citizenship in a great republic. The real "bone of contention" between the white man and the black man in America is an economic and political "bone." Give the Negro complete economic and political freedom and the so-called "social" problem would practically cease to exist. Mr. Stoddard is right in asserting that the Negro is thoroughly capable of enjoying the society of his own kind. Custom may build up a bi-racial social system, but there is no practical way to build up a bi-racial economic and political system in America. The white man has the upper hand, and it is highly problematical whether he ever will open the doors to his black brother.
Marcus Garvey sounded the keynote a decade ago. The phonemical educational progress of the Negro has blinded many to the real situation. The real obstacle is not lack of culture on the part of the Negro. Thousands of Negroes who have acquired training along all lines have proved this. The American white man would have the world believe that he despises the Negro because of the color of his skin. In reality the American white man despises the Negro because he is the underdog economically. And the Negro is unique among the races in the "melting pot" in that he has no national home governed by his own kind toward which he may look for encouragement and assistance. The white man despises you because you are an economic beggar, and by his own system he perpetuates the shame and suffering.
Garvey said, "Go but and make a home for yourself in Africa from whence you came." And some Negroes laughed and said, "America is my homo." It is hidden a pour home where you have to be perpetually segregated and kicked from pillar to post. Garvey said, "Turn your eyes toward Africa; there lies your salvation." And now we have those among us who truly advocate eminence.

GRAND RAPIDS—Probatate Judge Clark E. Highee conducted an interesting examination of the ears and nostrils of 1,800 Civil War veterans during the recent national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic with a view of adding to the accumulation of evidence that large ears and large nostrils are signs of probable long-ency:
From an upper story of a downtown store, with a pair of field glasses to his eyes and his secretary, Mrs. Margaret Wolsh, of his side to record his observations, the Probate Judge, who is prominent as a sociological and biological student, watched the hundreds of Civil War veterans as they marched past in their annual parade.
When the last of them had passed it had been recorded that fully 90 percent had large ears and free ear lobes and large, open nostrils. Half of the remaining 10 percent had large lobes which were attached and the other 5 percent had no lobes.
This discovery was in line with reports of sociologists that long ears apparently mean long life, but this, it is explained, is not down merely as an observation and not as a theory and the only proof obtained thus far is that very old persons have very large ears.
In an inspection of hundreds of veterans' ears, the-Probate Judge did not find a single pair of small ears, although there were many of about ordinary size. The Judge came to the conclusion that there will be many of these veterans marching in these parades for ten more years.
Russia's Pompeii Undermined by Sea
KERCH, CRIMEA—The ruins of Korch, the site of the ancient Greek Pantheumica, often called the "Russian Pompell and Herculaneum," are rapidly decaying, and the Black Sea is gradually undermining the remnants of ancient Greek and Roman towers and walls.
In the fourth and fifth centuries before Christ the city was a flourishing trading center, the envy of northern barbarians and greatly merchants from Italy, Asia Minor and even Egypt The city was seized in turn by Mithridates and barbarians before succumbing completely to Rome. In the fifteenth century it became the prey of Turks and since has fallen into decay.
No excavations have been made since 1814. The ancient city occupied a beautiful site, as all Greek cities did, overlooking the Black Sea, and is strewn with ancient Greek foundations, remnants of Roman baths, blocks of white and rose marbles and towers and walls, of a later origin.

Proposal to Take Supervision Out of Hands of U. S. Military La Guardia Protests Against Army and Navy Officers
a proposal that a committee of civilians be appointed from this country to supervise the elections next year in Nicaragua instead of placing supervision in the hands of military representatives of the United States maintaining order there in receiving serious consideration from the State Department, according to a letter written by Secretary Kellogg and made public yesterday by Representative F. H. LaGuardia.
The New York Representative wrote to Secretary Kellogg protecting against the appointment of army or navy officers to supervise the elections.
"Alay, I suggest" that this Government assign a group of experienced, alopecia and impartial Americans, unspoiled by diplomatic training and brave of side arms, gallops and bombs" said Mr. Ladiuriae's letter "Strange as it may seem, it is not the minority down in Nicaragua who need the protection, but it is the majority who want an opportunity to vote without intimidation and molestation. Neither the gold bid of the navy nor the spurred boot of the army can ensure that confidence of a fair and impartial election necessary to the successful conduct of a democratic government."
I have just received four letter of Oct. 5 on the subject of the election in Nicaragua. The election cannot take place until October, 1928, and under the existing Nicaraguan laws the registration. I believe, would not be affected until April or May or next year. I understand that new legislation is in contemplation which may possibly change the date of registration until later in the year. Naturally the practically details with respect to the supervision of the registration and election have not been worked out and can hardly be settled this far in advance. I may say, however, that the idea which you put forward has already suggested it off to the department and will certainly receive most serious consideration.
I should be very glad to discuss the matter with you at some convenient time and give you such information as I may have.

Legislators Ask President Coolidge to Change Status and Help Effort for Elective Governor
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Oct. 10. Because President Coolidge will exercise his Presidential authority and influence for the last time at the coming session of Congress, a memorial has been prepared, by members of the Porto Rican Commission asking him to have Congress give the island an elective governor commencing in 1932, and otherwise liberalise the Organic act, under which the island is governed.
As American citizens, the memorial points out, the people of the island are entitled to their own complete self-government, and the matter of an elective governor, it is stated, is of more importance to the United States than the island.
llectual conditions able to understand our situation, who will co-operate in solving our difficulties and problems according to the convenience and just wishes of our people.
"Even now, within a brief period, and as you co-operate in office as President of the United States because you declined renomination for a new term, your successor, unfamiliar with our situation' (which you have had opportunity, and have been willing to study) will perhaps decide on an appointment of consonance with his political debts and nominate a man who, though knowing nothing of the problems affecting Porto Rico, will endeavor to solve them according to views greatly contrary to the interests.
The new President, the memorial seats forth, might send some one an governor who know nothing of the island, its affairs or its interests. In addition, it is stated, the people of Porto Rico have demonstrated their capacity not only for self-government but, the memorial says, "we might well assert that we are prepared to rule the destinies of any great nation of the world, not to say of the little country in which it was our fortune, or perhaps our misfortune, to have been born."
While perhaps a delegation will go to Washington to further urge the island's claims, the memorial itself has been forwarded to Governor Horace M. Towner to present to President Coolidge. Governor Towner is now on vacation in the States and expects to discuss Porto Rico affairs with the President soon. He is the first American civil governor to urge the granting of an elective governor to Porto Rico.
Bill Approved in 1924
The memorial begins by telling of the previous memorial taken to the Porto Rico Legislature, representing all political parties, urging the president by the Porto Rico delegation in January, 1924, for presentation to Congress, and of the preparation of a bill by the resident commissioner, Cordova Davila, which was approved by the Secretary of War and the House and Senate committees and was passed by the Senate, but failed of passage by the House because of a last-hour rule requiring unanimous consent to consider any bill. Then the memorial continues:
"Since then Porto Rica has not failed for one single day to insist on the approval of the bill, for it enlarges her governmental powers and places her in position to solve her own local problems free of such innumerable prejudices and contradictory reports as with great harm to her people's progress, constantly obstruct their determination and lessen the moral power of the Legislature and of the executive officials who must bear the great responsibilities of government while unpassed of the proper authority to govern.
"No great effort is necessary to show to Your Excellency the serious inconveniences derived from that anomalous situation which permits the appointment of a man for the governorship of a country without the due consent of the latter. Such men are generally ignorant of the problems of the people they are sent to govern. As a rule, they are influenced by prejudices, or wrongly informed on the true conditions of such people.
Ungerality in Governorship
"This is true to such an extent that in adopting government measures imposed on them by duty, they often do so with detention to the interests entrusted to them, and to the prejudices of such good relations as should exist between citizens of the continent and of the island.
"Not always can one be fortunate enough to find for the governorship an expert of high moral and intel-

"Even now, within a brief period, and as you co-oper in office as President of the United States because you deplined renomination for a new term, your successor, unfamiliar with our situation" (which you have had opportunity, and have been willing to study) will perhaps doide on an appointment of consonance with his political debts and nominate a man who, though knowing nothing of the problems affecting Porto Rico, will endeavor to solve them according to views surely contrary to the interests and welfare of the people, and worse still, contrary to their legitimate sentiments of liberty and self-government.
The election of the Governor is of as much interest to the United States as it is to Porto Rico. Such measure would cause satisfaction and contentment in the island, because Porto Rico would then feel certain that she was on a clear way to her future. Together with the new and greater authority thereby granted, we would accept the greater responsibility such stop signs, while the United States would be relieved of the responsibility of a poor selection and of an unnecessary intervention, in the functions legitimately pertaining to the people according to the principles of wise American democracy.
"And we say that such intervention on the part of the National Government is unnecessary, because the election of a Governor by the people, far from tending to weaker existing ties between the United States and Porto Rico, would greatly strengthen them, since the people would feel proud and satisfied over meriting and receiving such degrees of confidence and such acknowledgment of their rights."
Loyalty to Nation Declared
The memorial then points to the Federal judicial, military and other services, including the auditing of accounts, which under the bill would still constitute bonds of the island and the nation, and declares that the sovereignty of the United States is a settled question as attested by the enlistment of 15,000 Porto Ricans in the World War.
"The fact that we are American citizens," it says, "should be sufficient for the United States to consider their flag as secure in the hands of the citizen of Porto Rico as in the hands of a citizen of Kentucky.
"Therefore, there are no valid reasons against our demand for self-government. We are supported by our history, our record and our loyalty as citizens. Neither is the decided action of Porto Rico in favor of progress and culture, carried out in such a short period of time, surpassed anywhere within in the national boundaries.
Economic Relief Also Sought "Before closing this statement of our present political aspirations, we desire to inform your Excellency of the serious financial difficulties of our people, caused by land monopoly and the constant absorption of our wealth by capital absent from the island. These are evils for which a remedy is absolutely necessary if the welfare of the people is to be furthered. For this purpose it would be advisable for the Congress of the United States to grant us such powers as may be necessary."

Send Your Children To School, Appeal Of Dr. Bond, Educator
By DR. JAMES BOND, Louisville, Ky
Permit me through your columns to
call the attention of colored people to
the importance of getting their children
into the schools at the beginning
of the school year and keeping them
thorny every day. It will be a sad day
for the colored people when they lose
the passion for education that characterized them immediately after emancipation and for a generation thereafter. No price should be too high and no sacrifice too great in our efforts to give the right kind of training to the boys and girls that are to follow us and take up our work after we are through. Colored people, while working persistently for the removal of handicaps, should make full use of the educational facilities at hand. Colored parents and young people themselves should allow nothing to turn them aside from their purpose to obtain the best training within their reach. Let us remember in this hour of opportunity the sacrifices which our parents made in the early days, when few facilities and opportunities were available to them.
Parents, send your children to school — to the rural and city gated schools, to the grammar school, to the high schools—and make every sacrifice to send those who are ready to the colleges and universities.

women in choirs, onbears and music halls. That they are all gonluses born to bach unheard I do not say. My point is merely that the average aptitude of the Negro for musical interpretation far transcends that of the white. There used to be a saying among vaudeville patrons that no Negro act was ever wholly bad. Into any dark-blinded throne you may toes a glano or bano and be sure that there will be one to catch it and give you music. And in Harem when the nights are not too white there will be spontaneous and amateur dinging of a sort to ravish the eye of any sculptor or painter.
There could be, perhaps there is, a Negro advance toward beauty conducted without the help of any very conspicuous leaders. Perhaps they charge like well ordered cavalry, huddled, knife to knoe, all in a cluster. Not all the bluesy bullsads which sweep the country now are African in origin. Henry Mencken has pointed out that the best of current mamy songs are composed by Jaws. Still there was a Cole and a Johnson before the Gerswin and Bovins, and early the Negro has a right to take to his heart the continuous compliment of imitation which is tendered to him in popular music.
Mr. Monken did not take up the difficulties which artist the Negro artist. I do not speak of obvious and to some extent extrapolative things. When Hayes sang last in Detroit the house was thronged with carriage trade. I captured by his singing the audiences called ceaselessly for chores. Everybody applauded madly and a few whistled. But when the lights were down this man, halled by the multitude as a great artist, found that his own oeuvre must be a pumpkin shell. The Nordics of Michigan were wholly willing to tingle spinally while a Negro sang, but letting him into any hotel was something else again. I have never understood why it was supposed to be a casual thing to give a man some small piece of your immortal soul and terribly intimate to sit in the same dining room. But factors such as these, though monstrous, constitute no more than an annoyance in the path

way of the Negro artist. You cannot kill a talent by sowing it with salt. Every now and then some Sunday magazine section digs out the story of the possibility of shaking down bridges and great buildings by some insistent vibration upon the violin. Whether mortar is actually so susceptible to music I do not profess to know, but I have seen the whole odice of white superiority totter when Ireland Hayes sang "The Crucifixion."
The Negro musician escapes one reproach which dogs his brother novelist or poet. "This," the critic is fond of saying, "why be excellent propaganda but for that very reason it can't be art." To get enmeshed in the debate about the function of art and propaganda would be unfortunate. For my readers I mean. I merely want to make mild protest against the manner in which Negro is often cut down by both the direct and richer (are reviewers). When Counter Cullip puts into a poem the bitterness belonging to anyone who lives within a waged city, critics are likely to say that they wish the young man were less racist conscious. It will be remarked that lyric fervor and a passion for reform team up indifferently. But there are times when Cullen changes his note and speaks of flowers which white and clouds and brooks and possibly a few trees. And when this happens he finds himself attacked upon a new book and now the charge is that he has confused himself with Keats and Shakespeare and would do well to draw his themes from subjects more peculiarly Negro. Allow a critic two assorted dams and he can handcuff any minister.
Mr. Menkonk and many others feel that the "Negro has had rather more than just treatment from the commentators. It was George Dean Nathan, as I remember, who voiced the theory that Bert Williams had been puffed far beyond his deserts on a stage comedian because he was a "colored man." I agree, but it is careless to assume there is any tone quality in praise bestowed with condescension. The most punishing blow in the quiver of the critic is not the right, hook to the jaw. It is the put on the head Writers "knocked down by reviewers have been known to rise again before the count of ten, but what can a man do if he is not by the comment. Why that's really very good for a Negro." Most certainly the darker artists have not asked for critical opinions padded like gloves in training camp. Indeed I believe that they will, and should welcome Mr. Menkonk's articles because he has said in effect that he purposes to be no more kind to Negro authors than to do any others. Some of our book sections have carried Jim Crow cars. Jim Crow remains Jim Crow even when the scats are plush and velvet. Almost I would be ready to depart in peace upon that morning when a musical critico writes, "Roland Haynes, the tenor," and not, as is the unbroken custom, "Koiland Haynes, the Negro toner."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1927
NEW ORLEANS, LA.
Sunday, October 9, the regular Sunday night mass meeting of the New Orleans Branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was called to order by the acting president, Mr. E. Francis, the usual preliminaries were performed by the Uniform Ranks. Religious rites by the chaplain, Mr. James Reed. After the opening remarks by the acting president the front page of The Negro World was read by Miss Ida Volson, followed by singing of the hymn "God Bless Our President." Announcement of the absence of the ex-president, now treasurer, Mr. John Cary, also the executive secretary, Mr. S. E. Buchanan, was made. They were on a mission to the city of Donaldsonville, La., to unveil a charter and install the newly made officers. Different speakers addressed-the meeting, the collection was lifted, and further notice given of the date of the seventh anniversary of the division to be held on Wednesday, October 12, at 8 p.m. The night's enjoyable meeting game to its class with singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem.
Wednesday night, October 12, was observed for celebration of the seventh annual anniversary of the New Orleans Division of the U. N. I. A. Owing to sudden change of the weather, the attendance was small. However, those that are earnest Garveyites were present and a well-arranged program was presented. At 8:15 p. m. the meeting was called to order by the acting president, Mr. B. A. Francis. The usual order of business was carried through, after which two visiting officers of the Natchez Division were introduced, Mr. J. King, first vice president, and Captain Peterson of the Legious. At this stage the meeting was turned over to Mr. John Cary, Jr., who was master of ceremonies. Mr. Cary in taking his post made a brief but vital expression to the audience for the purpose of explaining the unique occasion. The chaplain, Mr. James Reed, was called on to read Psalm 15, which he explained to his heirs. The president was the next speaker. He interested his hearers for a few minutes by encouraging them to ever continue to see the principles as laid by our architect, the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Mr. King, of Natchoz Division, was next called. After addressing the chair and members he continued by asking a general co-operation of all. His remarks were logical and constructive. The master of ceremonies made a brief comment on the zealous remarks of Mr. King. Next was the recitation of a poem written by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, entitled "The Black Woman." Miss Molson is always a credit for her eloquence in reciting. The lady president, Mrs. R. J. Walls, spoke next. She impressed on the minds of her hearers to keep at all times in their memory the principles of the organization, urged that more reading be done by our members, and ended by asking for continued support to the association by way of gonquille sacrifice. Next was reading of a telegram to be sent to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Mr. B. S. Gilbert, one of the foundation members, was called next to express his feelings for the past seven years of his connection with this division. Mr. Gilbert made a brief outline of the past history of the division and pledged to carry on at all times, regardless of the lils to be met. He mentioned Mr. S. V. Robertson as the founder of this division and the work that he has done. The chaplain at this stage was called on to deliver the anniversary sermon. He took his text from Luke, Chapter VI. Next was a paper by Miss Molson. Collection was lifted, the Anthem was sung, and the great occasion came to a close with benediction by the chaplain.
On Sunday, October 2, the president of the Los Angeles Division, Mr. H. Hoxie, was present with us, but could dot remain for the night's mass meeting. He left at 5 p. m. for Atlanta, Ga., to visit Mr. Garvey.

Friday evening, October 7, in the Chabot Lecture, Hall of Oakland, California, an educational mass meeting was held to discuss "America's Great Race Problem."

A. as they advocated the co-operation of the two races for national adjustment.

NEWARK, N. J.
Sunday, September 25, was a very raro day in the history of the Newark Division. At 11 a. m. the morning service was called to order by our president, Mr. Charles L. James. The choir rendered splendid music under the directorship of the musical director, Mr. A. Amos. A very impressive sermon was preached by the president, Rev. Butler. Our able chaplain made a few brief remarks. The president of the Asbury Park Division offered an earnest prayer for the speedy release of the Hon. Marcus Garvoy which made the membership very sad. "God Bless Our President" was sung, and so we started the day with God and Garvoy.
At 3 p. m. the hall was packed to its capacity. The Logions and Black Cross Nurses were in good trim and enthusiasm prevailed in the entire meeting. The meeting was called to order by the president. The president made the opening address. The audience cheered him to the echo when he announced that we were sitting in our own Liberty Hall and that we were here to stay. He then called on Mr. A. T. Williams of Liberia, Africa, to say a word of encouragement. Mr. Williams gave us much food for thought. Two members were added to the roll.
Long before. 7.30 p. m. there was hardly standing room in our Liberty Hall. At 8 p. m. Captain James of the U. A. L. lined up the Units in fine style. The processional hymn was played by our able pianist, Miss Grace Amos. "Shine On Eternal Light" was played and the choir marched to the strain. The officers' staff and escort followed to the rostrum.
The president then called the meeting to order with the opening ode and performed the ritualistic ceremony. He introduced Mrs. A. Green, the head of the Black Cross Nurses, who in turn introduced Mrs. Lottie Blake as mistress of cenemonies. Next was a selection by the choir, which was well rendered, and the program continued: Recitation by Little Dorothy Peytwillway; paper by Miss Ruby Green, "Garvey, the Man of the Hour"; address by Captain Jackson, recruiting officer of the Newark Division; scripture reading by Rev. Butler, chaplain. Much enthusiasm prevailed as Mr. A. Amos sang the well known piece written by the Hon. Marous Garvey, "Keep Cool." The nurses then staged a wonderful demonstration showing the difference between the Red Cross Nurses and the Black Cross Nurses.
The president made the closing address. He thanked the Black Cross Nurses and bade the membership to turn their eyes to Atlanta where, the greatest Negro of all time is incarcerated. After recessional hymn and the Ethiopian Anthem the meeting came to an end.

KINGSTON, JAM.
Sunday, October 2, was a fed letter day for the Kingston Division of the U. N. I. A. The occasion was a visit from Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, 4th assistant president general of the U. N. I. A. Long before the meeting started the spacious hall was crowded to its utmost capacity (standing room not even available) with persons eager to hear news from an officer of the parent body, A little Before the Divine service was a procession headed by a band made up from the uniformed ranks, Black Cross nurses and officers. The Divine service was started by Mr. H. B. Greene, chaplain of the division. During the service Miss Davis arrived and, after the playing of the Ethiopian National Anthem by the band, she was presented to the president, Mr. Chas. D. Johnson, by Colonel Samuel Gulson of the Universal African Legions, who escorted her to a seat on the rostrum.
The chaplain delivered a forceful sermon from the text, 1st Corinthians, 13th chap., 11th verse. After the offerings were taken up the Divine service ended.
The mass meeting was opened with Mr. Chas. D. Johnson, the president, in the chair, who in his usual eloquent manner welcomed all to Liberty Hall. He was pleased with the audience, but especially the spirit and zeal which existed to celebrate Garvey Day. During his discourse he commented highly on the loyalty of Lady Davis to the cause, for out of the thirteen officers who launched out with the Hon Marcus Garvey she is the only one who has stood the test. At the close of his opening remarks he was well applauded. The literary part of the programme was as follows; Recitation, Masle Edwards; selection, drum and fire band; recitation, Miss Effie Waugh; selection, brass band; solo, Miss L. Hewey; duet, Misses Robinson and Dixon; selection, drum and fire band; address, Mr. P. J. Mitchell; anthem, the choir; address, Mr. D.*E. Williams; closing address, Mr. J. C. Fraser.
Lady Davis then delivered her address and stated she was pleased to stand on the rostrum of the Kingston Division to speak to her own people. She related the arduous work she performed while in Cuba and became ill on account of the unsanitary conditions in Cuba. During her address she brought to the notice of her hearers the hard times some of the West Indians (especially Jamaicans) were experiencing in Cuba. She was surprised 'that although conditions were so bad in Cuba to see an article in one of the issues of the "Gleaner" showing to the public that Jamaican laborers were needed in Cuba, as work on railroads and roads would have to be started soon. She mentioned the action of the British consul in Cuba in refusing to help a West Indian, and expressed her opinion that it was unjust for a representative of a country not to protect its subject. In closing she said the faculties of the Negroes were as good as any other race, and they must stand up in the spirit of God and Marcus Garvey. The address was punctuated throughout with applause.
A vote of thanks was moved by Mr. Clifford Erlington and seconded by Mr. J. J. White, 2nd vice-president, supported by Mr. G. T. Allen, and presented to Lady Davis by the president. After the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem, the executive officers of the division, were presented to Lady Davis by the president, and on his (the president's) invitation, Lady Davis kindly consented to inspect the uniformed ranks, which presented a fine appearance. Lady Davis congratulated all ranks for their neat appearance and devotion to the organization. Colonel Samuel Gibson, the commanding officer, suitably replied. All went home feeling that they had spent an enjoyable evening.

La Prensa Asociada comunica que los miembros de la raza amarilla, oriundos del Asia, han sido separados de los blancos en las escugias del castelo de Mississippi, por una decision de la Corte suprema del estado.
Una decisión de la Corte suprema de ease estado en el caso del inspector de escuelas W. F. Bond, contra el adulto chino Joe Tif Fung y el menor de edad, también chino, Joe Tin Lun, diciendo que friction, desorden y un malesfar general seria el resultado de tratar de asociar la raza caucásica con las razas de color en las escuelas del estado de Mississippi, dí lugar a que la mencionada Corte suprema definise como raza de color toda aquella que difiera da la raza caucásica, manteniendo que seria necessario para Joe Tin Lun ir a matricularse en una escuela para negros.
La salvación de la raza estribá en sus cualidades mentales y fisicas. La tierra mas preciada del universo. Cuentos de hadas acerca de la madre patria. Propaganda malsana de los inferesados en la usurpación del gran continente. La teoria Garveyista en los labios y mente de todos.
Si hay un solo negro en el hemisferio occidental que honradamente todavia esté en duda en conocer donde reside lo salvación de su raza, solamente tiene que rebuscar las páginas de los periódicos y revistas que circulan por el mundo. Slendo las planas impresas el porta-estandarte, el foro donde se desliñlo las ideas ya sea del blanco, del moreno, delamarillo o del hombre negro; ideas estas que ya sean revestidos sofismas o claridades expositivas, ya puede verse en sus lineas o leerse entre las mismas que el tema principal, las noticias más potenciales ostentan la grandeza de Africa, hablan de las cualidades espléndidas mentales o físicas de sus habitantes e incuban enla mente del lector una insuperable descripción del alma virgen del grandioso continente.
Canta esta decisión la Corte suprema. ha revertido la recomendación de la corte de distrito del conduido de Coanoma, la cual hubiera decidido que los inspectores de escuelas del estado y los maestros de las escuelas consolidades de Publin permitieran a los chinos matriculariens en las mismas escuelas que los niños de la raza blmaca.
Los abogados que defendian la causa de Lun sostenian que la decisión de la Corte suprema era una violación de los artículos del tratado de Burlingame, firmado en 1868 entre los Estados Unidos y China, y en el cual se indica que los niños chinos comprendidos en la edad escolar pueden asistir a cualquiera de las escuelas de los Estados Unidos que de una manera u otra eran portadas por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos.
El negro no puede menos que convencerse de que a centenares de millas, en lejanas latitudes se encuentra la mas grande de las tierras del universo; tierra esta la mas rica, la mas populosa, la mas mística, la envidia de todos, que es esa Africa de la cual el y sus antepasados fueron compelidos abandonar por la fuerza.
La Corte suprema sostiene que la exclución de los chinos de las escuelas de blancos no es una violación del mencionado tratado y que las escuelas para negros son tan norteamericanas como las escuelas para blancos.
El negro no puede menos que convencerse de que a centenares de milas, en lejanas latitudes se encuentra la mas grande de las tierras del universo; tierra esta la mas rica, la mas populosa, la más mística, la envidia de todos, que es esa Africa de la cual el y sus antepasados fueron compelidos abandonar por la fuerza.
El juven chino Lun atendió a la escuela hasta que los apoderados de esta la notificaron que no podia seguir concurriendo a ella debido a que no pertenecía a la raza caudacísa. Estas ordenes fueron dadas por el inspector de las escuelas consolidadas de Dublin.
Hay una manifestación muy peculiar en lo que a Africa respecta. Tiempo hubo no hace muchos años cuándo el nombre de Africa y el de sus aborigenes era mencionado solamente para provocar risa. Los astutos "misioneros" que veían lejos y los "civilizadores," esparcian cuentos y narraciones del continante oscuro y haclan tal efecto entre los niños blancos, que estos corrian atemorizados a la presencia de cualquier ser humano cuya piel fuese tamizada; dichos y narraciones que eran recibidos con espectación y crédito por los crédulos de la otra raza, para levantar así su vanidad, enseñoriándose en su mejoria de la escala zoológica, entreteniendo las concepciónés solamente para divertirse y tener espansión en su ofuscada imaginación.
El inspector de escuelas del condo testifico, que en el distrito existan escuelas para negros que eran accessibles para los chinos y que estaban sujetas a las mismas regulaciones que las escuelas para niños blancos y en las cuales se les enseñaría las mismas asignaturas. ullishdrl ashdrl, ashdru
Uno de los argumentos que nuestros detractores usan constantemente con la intención de insultarnos, es el que nos'acusa como pertenecientes a la raza de color. Según opinión de estos enemigos gratuitos, sólo existen in Cuba, Puerto Rico y dama países hispanos, sino indios y negros, sin cultura y sin educación.
Mas todo esto ha venido a caer por su peso, pues tales revelaciones fueron artimañas muy exclusivas de las avanzadas de exploradores, sostenidas por las intereses encontrados que interesaban lo usurpación del suelo africano. Tales propagandistas temerosos de la verdad y temerosos del ridiculo que cometian, silvaban a vuestro oído tales leyendas para imponeros el secreto de hechos absurdos. Hoy dia todo ha cambiado. Es imposible el venir trayendo cuantos de hada del Africa sin que el exponente se arriesgue a recibir preguntas múltiples acerca del precioso continehte y de los miles attractivos que el encierra.
Han visto estos desgraciados que existe entre los que hablamos español un verdadero espiritu de tolerancia, y que no nos distinguiimos por nuestro odio de razas en las harriadas y en los pueblos donde habitamos. No compreendiendo que tal cosa sucede, porque tenemos un muy alto concepte de lo que es la vida, y de lo que es elhmobre. La gran mayoría de Los "Spanish", an este respecto, no es cristiana por fanatismo religioso, sino por ideas espiritualmente humanas.
Est una verdad que la mas poderosa cadena de periódicos de America, persiste en la inocentona práctica de presentar en sus páginas grotescas fotografías, haciéndonos creer como se desarrolla la vida en el país mas grande que Dios ha creado sobre la tierra; pero que el público que lee se mófa de ellas y las comenta con el mismo espiritu de ilaridad que experimenta al ver las poses y gestos acrobáticos que nos presenta la caricatura de Mot y leff.
Los puertorriqueños e hispanoamericanos que vivimos en la barriada de Harlem, no creanos que la diferencia en el color de la piel de un individuo, lo hace diferente a los domás en cuanto a sus sentimientos, a su moralidad y a su inteligencia respecta. Somos más liberares, más democratas y más cristianos que muchos que así se llama; y que sin embargo, son boy los agentes, de las sociedades secretas que en este país son instrumentos responsables en esa lucha fratricida y criminal. Como ejemplo de lo que estamos diciendo, observense los resultados obtenidos por la constante prédica de intolerancia racial, en el pueblo de Gary, estado de Indiana, donde los estudiantes de una alta escuela; los estudiantes, que deben ser la esperanza de un país que se llama republicano y democrata, se han declarado en huelga porque no quieren asistir a las clases diarias con estudiantes de la raza de color.
La verdad escueta es que los métodos usados por los engañadores para ocultar los hechos, han servido para exhornar las maravillas y grandezas que posee nuestra madre patria. El medio mas seguro para informar la mente humana ha sido siempre el exitar la curlosidad, y esto es lo que en realdad ha dado al traste con el pequeno juego que se traen los egofistas y malos informadores del pueblo africano. Ojos avisados y espiritus observadores volvieron su investigación hacia la tierra de las grandezas, y he aquí que la verdad ha visto la luz y el Africa se estudia mas detenidamente en todos sus aspectos.
En el presente tenemos a Marcus Garvey y la Asociación Uniiversal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Tenemos a Du Bois ansioso de seguir los pasos de aquel, y su Congreso Pan-Africano anhelando compartir publicidad y acción con nuestra organización. Pronto la frase, "continente negro" estará en desuso, porque los hombres de hoy proclamarán las innegables potencialidades de Africa y el alto puesto que le tiene reservado el porvenir en algún dia, en algún tiempo entre la familia de las naciones.
El cuadro de un Africa Negra, gobernada por hombres negros, contribuyendo disinteresadamente al progreso de la civilización que demandan los hombres de una raza, reclibiendo el respeto, de todo el mundo, todavía esta sujeto al escarnio y burla de alguna gente; pero este es un cuadro que indudablemente hará temblar a los culpables en su asiento y con la demonstración palpable de la realización de este sueño, ya se avendrán a las circunstancias impuestas, enmiendando así los errores cometidos.
Nuestros paises podrán estar todo
atrasando que nuestros detractores
No es Africa, sino la teoría garveyista la que esta en los labios y mente de todos los hombres; y nosotros seremos testigos de una revolución de trascendencias jamas vista, que la de venir.com benedicón/y mejoramiento de nuestra condición racial en lo porvenir.
quieran, pero es muy raro que en ellos ocurran casos de esta indole. Quien en los, Estados Unidos haido alguna vez decir que en Cuba, en Puerto Rico o en cualquiera otro país suramericano se acostumbralinchar seres humanos por ser negros?
Hay en todos nuestros pases blancos y negros, al igual que los hay en los Estados Unidos. La diferencia es, que nosotros entendemos mejor las ideas de humanidad y cristianismo que los inquisidoresy criminales, que en los Estados Unidos están haciendo de la libertad y de producto y de utilidad para los producto y d utilidad para los ricos y para los blancos solamente.
Si por tener este sentimiento liberal, altruista y humano hemos de ser considerados como negros, sea en buena hora. Después de todo, si todos los hombres debemos ser aguales, según rezan la declaración de principios de las instituciones americana, entonces, qué son los negros? Quisieranos saber si estamos equivocados en nuestro concepto, o es que los intrigantes religiosos y racistas en los Estados Unidos han usado hace tiempo los papeles que llevaban tales declaraciones en los antiguos inodoros de Indiana y de Nueva Inglaterra.
Se retira España de Africa?
La sensacional información llegada a Nueva York en cables de prensa, reproduciendo la entrevista concedida a un diario ingles por el general primo de Rivera, merce estudiarse bien antes de llegar a conclusiones precipitadas. Ante todo, debe recordarse que España y Francia han venido negociando hace más de un año en torno a la soberania de Tanger. España, con abrumadoras razones. la demanda para defender su zona; Francia, por consideraciones egosistas, pelo explicables, se opone a ello.
Las conferencias de París se hum prolongado inutilmente hasta ahora, del invierno al verano, del verano al ottofo, para aplasar hasta el invierno actual otra vez. Tendrá la conferencia de Primo de Rivera y Chamberlain la virtud de poner fin a los pourparlers definitivamente? Puede creerse que tal sea el resultado de las gestiones actuales.
Que el presidente del consejo de ministros español ha refirir de retirarse de Africa, no es nuevo ni ha sido en el una idea precipitadamente nacida. La defendió siendo gobernar militar de Cádiz y le costó perder el puesto. La defendió de nuevo en el Senado y le costó otro percance en su carrera. Llegado al gobierno no podía honrosamente abandonarse Africa y acioniert la única solución posible: restablecer el prestigio esnalado en Marruecos.
Conseguido ello totalmente, consagrada con la excursion triunfal de los reyes la pacificación absoluta de todo el territorio sometido a la influencia de España, la situación ha cambiado. Y, sea o no esa la actual orientación, no puede dudarse de que hay lugar a hablar de ceder o abandonar Martuccos, dignamente, serenamente, honrosamente. ¿Evesta la verdadera idea del general Primo de Rivera? No podria predecir nadie. El presidente del gobierno español ha demostrado que posee dotes de asimilación extrorionarias. Ha sabido hacerse diplomático rápidamente y asi ha dirigido negociaciones delicadisimas sin perdder terreno en Paris y conservando todas las ventajas de la situación. Nadia puede creer que, ante la obstinación de Francia estan agotadas las soluciones para Esañía.
Si esta considera que sin Tánger su zona está abierta a nuevas rebeliones de cabilellos ayudados desde territorio internacional, es absurdo pensar que vaya a exponer el país a una eterna sangría por complacer el egoismo francas. ... Puede venderse Marruecos español a otra potencia europea. Puede abandonarse a las cabilas, pactando con ellas concesiones raineras y exploitación agrícola de ciertos territorios. Y puede Inglaterra entrar en una combinación con fuerza decisiva.
Todas esas hipótesis, que hoy son posibles, después de la victoria absoluta de las armas españolas en el norte de Africa, abren el camino a un deseo nacional. Murceros es y será una ingrata obligación para España. Si el gobierno encuesta la solución decorosa para deshacerse de el, el país entero lo aprobará. y el porvenir demostrará que, como declara ya el general Primo de Riwers, España con y sin Murricos llega ya a la estapa de engrafidecimiento y resurgimiento deseados.— La Prensa, N.

HUMAN RACE ORIGINATED TEN MILLION YEARS AGO
So 'Says Yale Professor—Took 2,000,000 Years to Tell Man from Ape
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 8—Professor Dudley Joy Morton, of the Yale Medical School, internationally known evolutionist, said in an address here today that the beginning of man went back 10,000,000 years and that it took 2,000,000 years for man to show any signs which would mark him as being different from apes. The western and southeastern parts of Asia were the first parts of the world where the human race showed any signs of being different from the ape unily, he said. "Progress in human knowledge may, in a general way, be compared to the mental development of a child," Professor Morton added, adding:
"As far back as we have record, man has tried to explain his origin. Thus the problem is not a new one, but is one of our oldest human inheritances. With the modern advance in natural sciences, similar to developments in other lines of human knowledge, it would be strange if we were not in a butter-position now to comprehend and to analyze the problem than were our ancestors who lived a hundred, a thousand, four thousand-or more years ago.
"Things yourself standing on a hillside late in the afternoon on a clear day. With fairly good eyesight you can discern human beings a mile off. A farm and its outbuildings are seen three or four miles distant. Ten miles away stands a village. Twenty-five miles further a range of hills limits the horizon. Soon the setting sun drops just back of the hills—but only apparently. For science has measured the distance—$3,000,000 miles beyond those hills.
"To regard the universe as having been created 4,000 years B. C. is like bellowing that the sun actually dropped just behind the distant hills. Geology, however, has demonstrated by the many fossil-bearing stratifications of the earth's surface and lower non fossil-bearing layers, that the age of this planet must be measured in hundreds of millions of years. It has also furnished the basis of our understanding of the phenomenon of evolution by showing the change of simpler organic forms into more highly complex ones with successive eras of time. In my opinion the most important and necessary factor toward a clear conception of organic evolution is a realization of the immensity of time represented in the age of the earth. This calls for some real calliocthesms.
Verdict Accepted by Solence
"The question of 'How and when did mankind appear?' is one which we may answer in the broadest manner at the present time. Although the evidence of comparative anatomy is of great value in pointing out the course of human evolution, it must be acknowledged that the wide gaps presented in fossil material leave much room for diversity of interpretation. Nevertheless, the fact that man is a product of organic evolution is now unanimously accepted by scientists, and there is no reason to regard this decision, as prejudiced or biased because of any anterior motive.
"When did mankind appear? The answer depends upon what is implied in the question and the estimate of geological time. Using Professor Schuchert's estimate, the human stock separated from all other primate stems during the earlier half of the Miocene

period probably about 10,000,000 years ago. I would estimate that nearly 2,000,000 years passed before the forerunners of man could have been distinguished from their arboreal relations—the ancestors of the anthropod apes, by approbable anatomical change toward the human structure.
Brain Begins to Enlarge
*Pithecanthropus livid about 600,000 years ago and was certainly of prehuman rather than of humanism.* Hence, the intervening 7,500,000 years must have meant an exceedingly slow elimination of bestial characters and gradual acquisition of the human face and form. The latter half of this period saw the enlargement of the brain and the dawning of human intelligence. *Weandernal man lived from 100,000 to 25,000 years ago. At the more recent of these dates he completely disappeared and was replaced in Europe by the Cro-Mangon, who may be regarded as essentially a modern type of human being.*
Famous Cat Watches
British Museum Entrance
In its day no cat has lived so public a life as Mike, the big tabby that keeps watch and ward at the gate of the British Museum.
Day and night, summer and winter, for eighteen years Mike has been there with the gatekeeper, the policeman and the tall liveried attendant, whose scarlet collar and gold banded silk hat declare his rank as King's messenger—roll of the origin of the museum as the private collection of George IV and of times when, the guards stood sentry over the great Bloombury treasure house, says the Vancouver Province.
If you have a reader's ticket for the museum library and join the little knot of students who wait every morning for the stroke of nine to pass the gate and almost race across the courtyard for the honor of being first in the reading room, you find Mike already crouched contentedly there. He eyes the scholars—famous men from all countries—as philosophically as the later stream of mere curiosity hunters High school girls, in trim uniform; London street urchins who make the portloo a playground; black robed monks, gally dressed Hindu women. dapper little Japanese, and horn spectacled tourists are all alike to him. He has seen so many, millions pass in and put, has this London cat. since his arrival as a kitten in the gatekeeper's little stone lodge. They tell you with pride how they brought Mike—now stout as becomes one of such rare age—through the rigors of last winter, which was his seventeenth
On hot afternoons when the keepers close the east gate and cross to the west for shade, Mike follows. But he is not fully happy there. Tourists see him more, and exclaiming: "Oh! Look at that cat!" stoop to stroke him. Which Mike abhore, At the usual gate—the one nearest Southampton Row—he has a way out, or rather up. Two leaps and he is safely ensconced on of hands' way on the podium over the lodge door. You can see how the hard granite of the porch is worn smooth by the impact of his feet and body during the years.

Subjects Taxed to Death and Live in Poverty by British Overlords to Subsidize Such Parasites as the Maharajah of Kapurthala
(From the New York World.)
PARIS. Oct. 1—After spending a part of his luxurious existence playing tennis in Paris and enjoying the rich shade of one of the most beautiful properties in the Bois de Boulonge, the Maharajah of Kapurthala is going home to give a real party.
The Maharashtra, said to be the third wealthiest Prince of India, will leave Paris October 25 to celebrate in the Punjab with a house party that will make the Arabian Night look impalp. Many invitations have been issued to English and American friends, and all the princes and nobles of India have been invited to the record-breaking durbar which in separate fetes will afford unique entertainment to 2,000 persons.
The foreign guests will be entertained first. The princes in Kappurtha being inquisitent to cousins them all, a camp such as has never before been seen in the Punjab will be installed in front of the Maharashtra residence to care for several hundred. Tents will be fitted in palatial style with luxurious reception and sleeping rooms, baths and all the comforts of home.
There will be garden parties, excursions and sports every day, with fireworks at night, followed by banquets in the principal palace.
The Viceroy to India, the General commanding the British troops in India, and other officials will, with the other European guests, have a rare opportunity to see all there is of interest in the mysterious land of Rajahs and marahalahs. The Prince, whose income runs into millions of dollars, his instructed his staff organizing the jubilee not to count, expenses.
The Europeans and Americans, however, will miss the greatest spectacle of this occasion, the arrival of the Marahalahs on their richly caperated elephants, wearing costly silks and many gems of great price
The two parties cannot be entertained at the same time, as much Maharajah brings his holy servant, who in turn brings his under servant, and there will not be enough room around the royal residence to house them all.
Each of these distinguished guests who is a sovereign in his own right over some part of Indian territory, will bring tribute to the Maharajah, each guiding his offering according to his rank.
While the party for the princes will show more color, the European and American guests will be treated just as if they were princes themselves and some way will be found to offer for them the absence of elephants and royal paraphernalia.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
To the Editor of the Negro World.
The Negro will ever remain the "Good Servant" for the white man as long as he makes up his mind to depend upon the latter for a living and depend upon him to be always doing his bidding. From a careful study of the happenings of the day, one is forced to the conclusion that even though Negroes holding high positions under the flags of countries wherever they may be domiciled and seeing deliberately all those alone as they ought not to have been done towards their race are satisfied to shun the issue and be selfish just because they may happen to be the father of a certain white man.
Think of a Negro being an Honorable Member of the Legislative Council of Jamaica and in the face of the innumerable cases of blood treatment meted out to his fellow countrymen, when they are forced to seek bread in countries like Spanish Honduras, Cuba and elsewhere, and when protection is being sought from the British consul the man who is exiting through the taxes being paid by his client boldly says, "I am here for the protection of British property but not British objects." Slavery is still in him, practiced upon our brothers and sisters in their Motherland, Africa, by the mighty advocate of freedom, England. And listen to them in the Council of accomplishing the rights of their Noble Mother County. These men in my fellow opinion, and in the fact of all things that are hardy, are contemptuous, jealous. Think of a man squeezing the only life-breath out of my brothers, and any Negro would be blind to praise him for his noble feat.
It seems that the Negro has really a deadly hold upon the belief "Knock me upon my right jaw and I must also give you the left"

Gary Strike a Lesson to Race
To the Editor of The Negro World-
The racial disturbance in Gary, Indiana, has given the American Negro a lesson that should correct many of his previous misconceptions pertaining to his status as an American citizen.
All those advocates of social and political equality must have been rudely shocked and abashed. Evidently they are now able to realize that their "place" is not with or on an a par with that of the whites. The Gary Division of the U. N. I. a should reap a harvest of new members for the cause of Garveyism.
While reading some comment of the case in the New York Times, the discovery of a "release" from the N. A. A C. P. by Field Secretary James Weldon Johnson was noted. Mr. Johnson is reported to have stated that the or-

Negroes Continue Blind to Insults
qualification would "light to the limit" the discrimination of the Negro students. From all indications, the "light" was rather short-lived and pitifully ineffective. Who is so blind as he that can see, but refuses to look; or he that can hear, but refuses to listen? Negroes. Beware! Your myth of Americanism is rapidly Aiding. Africanism is the only hope for the race of which we are members. Without a government we have no representation, and without representation we have no guaranteed protection. Line up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help those who are trying to build for the Negro a place in the sun. Further procrastination is racial suicide.
A fitting tribute was paid our devoted editor, Hon T. Thomas Fortune, by an old-time acquaintance last week. He stated that our loyal laborer of journalism had not yielded to the enemies of Negro freedom and enancipation. Such consistency, as has been manifested by our distinguished editor can well be adopted by all true followers of Garveyism. As this is the month of his seventy-first anniversary, we join our leader, Hon Marcus Garvey, in extending to Mr. Fortune our heartiest congratulations.

Isaac Newton Was Mistaken for a Triller
While Isaac Newton was making a study of the refraction of light upon thin plates, as exemplified in the soap bubble, a neighbor woman who saw him experimenting mistook him for a trifler, says the Detroit News. "He diverts himself in the oddest ways imaginable," she said. "Every morning: when the sun shines so brightly that we are obliged to draw the window blinds, he takes his seat in front of a tub of soap and occupies himself for hours blowing soap bubbles through a common clay pipe and intently watching them till they hurst."
Newton's acquaintances testified as his self-formal fitness and humility. "I do not know," he said of himself, "how I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, now told then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than before, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before mo."

Their Beat Covers 6,000 Square Miles of Sun-Dried Land—A Lonely Job but Not Dangerous
In the desert wastes of the Kalahari you meet the men of that strange force, the South African police and camel patrol. They are lonely men, like the mounted police of the Canadian snows; but they like the life, says Lawrence G. Green in the London Daily Mail Their "beat" includes nearly six thousand square miles of sandy, sandy country. They are policemen, wearing blu uniforms and carrying revolvers; yet arresting criminals forms the smallest part of their duty in the Kalahari.
They have to collect native taxes, inspect cattle to detect the dreaded rinderpast, report invading swarms of locusts, dip sheep, make meteorological observations and compile voters' rolls in the isolated villages of the territory. But beyond an occasional stock theft there is little crime, indeed.
Long and dangerous treks across the sand dunes of the Kalahari take up much of their time. Water holes are hard to find in that sun-scorched land. A small desert melon called teama grows after the fruits, but there is no other fruit.
So each man setting out to a distant native village loads his camel with water bags to last for fourteen days. He carries a riffle, not only to shoot game but because there are still little bands of wild bushmen with poisoned arrows who occasionally attack a white man.
Blankets and a heavy overcoat are necessary, for the hot sand of the daytime becomes ice cold at night. Moat and mealie meal, tea, milk sugar and a small stove complete the desert policeman's outfit.
For days he sits on his camel, plodding across the glaring yellow sand with his eyes and ears full of grit, without the slightest relief from the all-pervading heat. There are no trees, rivers, or pools in the Kalahari. But there is always the possibility of lying down on a scorpion at night. The policeman may have to travel for a week to reach a single white man at some lonely outpost just because the Census Department requires a form to be filled in.
Camels used in the Kalahari come from the Sudan. The police are expected to cover forty miles a day in normal times. When great lionst hordes are threatening, to leave their breeding places in the Kalahari and descend on the rich farming districts of the Union the men of the camel patrol sometimes cover eighty miles of desert in twenty-four hours to bring the news to the nearest telegraph office.

Indian Chief Had Simple Plan for Taking Census
NOPALTZIN, chief of the *Chilchimean tribe of Indians* that once inhabited the Valley of Mexico, devised a simple plan for taking the census of his subjests. Under his system no census-taker trod upon the newly wagged Iprent porch of the careful housewife, leaving footprints in silky clay. Nor did the agent inquire into the private matters of the family head, says the Detroit News.
Instead, each subject placed a small stone in a place designated by the chief, one stone for each member of his family. Carriers then collected the stones and hauled them to an open field, where they were counted and placed in heaps. Twelve of these heaps have been discovered by scientists and a count of the stones indicates the Chilchimean tribe contained 3,200,000 members.

Anthropological Test Determines Parentage
VIENNA—The paternity of a child has been established to the antisatisfaction of a Vienna court by anthropological tests made by Prof. Reche of the University of Vienna clinic. Examination and comparison of distinctive mark is the basis of the test. Only 50,000 persons out of 500,000 have identified "papillary grading," according to Dr. Reche. Of these, only 10,000 will be found to possess heads of the same general shape. In the third test perhaps only 500 will show noses of similarity and hardly 100 of the number will have ears of the same type. Fewer than twenty will show the same shaped eye and only five the same color of hair and eyes. Finally, but one person remains whose fingers show papillary drawings similar to those of the child whose parentage is being sought.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Negroes Continue Blind to Insults
To the Editor of the Negro World:
The Negro will ever remain the 'Good Survival' for the white man as long as he makes up his mind to be dependent upon the whites to live, and then from him to be always doing his bidding. From a careful study of the happenings of the day, one is forced to the conclusion that even though Negroes holding high positions under the rings of countries wherever they may be domiciled and seeing deliberately all things done as they ought not to have been done in words that are not in the best interest, they be selfish just because they may happen to be the friend of a certain white man.
Think of a Negro being an Honorable Member of the Legislative Council of Jamaica and in the face of the innumerable cases of brutal treatment meted out to his fellow countrymen, when they are forced to seek bread in countries like Spanish Honduras, Cuba and elsewhere, and when protection is being sought from the British convali the man who is existing through the taxes being paid by his client be so says: 'I am here for the protection of British subjects but not British objects.' Slavery is still being practiced upon our brothers and sisters 'in their Motherland, Africa by the mighty aid of the British Empire, England. And listen to them in the Council championing the rights of, their "Noble Mother Country." These men, in my febrile opinion, and in the fact of all things that are Godly, are outrageous hypotheses. Think of a man squeezing the very life-breath out of my brothers, and any Negro would be blind to preside him for his noble feat.
it seems that the Negro has really a deadly, hold upon the bellion "Knock me upon my right jaw and I must also give you the left." ALARIC WELSH Havana; Cuba.
To the Editor of the Negro World:
The racial disturbance in Gary, Indiana, has given the American Negro a lesson that should correct many of his previous misconceptions pertaining to his status as an American citizen. All those advocates of social and political equality must have been rudely shocked and abashed. Evidently they are now able to realize that their "place" is not with or on a par with that of the whites. The Gay Division of the U. N. I. A. should seep a harrow into new members for the cause of Garveyism.
While reading some comment of the case in the New York Times the discovery of a "volunteer" from the N. A. A. C. P. by Field Secretary James Weldon Johnson was noted. Mr. Johnson is reported to have stated that the or-

Gary Strike a Lesson to Race
ganization would "night to the limit" the discrimination of the Negro students. From all indications, the "night was rather short-lived and pitifully ineffective. Who is so blind as he that can see, but refuses to look; or he that can hear, but refuses to listen. Negroes, Beware Your myth of Americanism is rapidly fading. Africanism is the only hope for the race of which we are members." Without a government we have no representation, and without representation we have guaranteed protection. Line up with the government association and help those who are trying to build for the Negro a place in the sun. Further proclamation is racial suicide.
A fitting tribute was paid our devoted editor, Hon. T. Hone Fortune. by an old-time acquaintance last week. He stated that our loyal laborer of journalism had not yielded to the enemies of Negro freedom and emancipation. Such consistency as has been manifested by our distinguished editor can well be adopted by all true followers of Garvayol. As this is the month of his seventy-first anniversary, we join our leader, Hon. Maruse Garvoy, in extending to Mr. Fortune our heartiest congratulations.
ARTHUR S. GRAY
Oakland, Cal.
Whitb Isaac Newton was making a study of the refraction of light upon thin plates, as exemplified in the soap bubble, a neighbor woman who saw him experimenting mistook him for a trifle, says the Detroit News.
"He diverts himself in the additive imaginabild," she said. "Every morning when he sees brightly that we are obliged to draw the window blinds, he takes his seat in front of a tub of soap suds and occupies himself for hours blowing soap bubbles through a common clay pipe and intently watching them till they burst."
Newton's acquaintances testified to his self-forgetfulness and humility. "I do not know," he said of himself, "now if I appear to the world, but to my friends, I play on the seashore, now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than before, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

SOUTH AFRICAN GAMEL PATROL HAS LONELY LIFE
Their Beat Covers 6,000-Square Miles of Sun-Dried Land—A Lonely Job but Not Dangerous
In the desert wastes of the Kalahari you meet the man of that strange force, the South African police and camel patrol. They are lonely man, like the mounted police of the Canadian snow; but they like the life, says Lawrence G. Green in the London Dail Mall. Their "begt" includes nearly six thousand square miles of sand, sandy, sandy blue mud, blue mud with voles; yet arresting criminal forms the smallest part of their duty in the Kalahari. They have to collect native taxes, inspect cattle to detect the dreaded rinderpost, report invading swarms of locusts, dip sheep, make meteorological observations and compile vets' roles in the isolated villages of the territory. But beyond an occasional stock that there is little crime, indeed. Long and dangerous treks across the sand dunes of the Kalahari take up the earth to find that sun-scorched hunts. A small desert melon called tsama grows after the rains, but there is no other fruit.
So each man setting out to a distant native village loads his camel with water baskets to last for fourteen days. He carries a rife, not only to shoot game but because there are still little bands of wild waders with poisoned arrows who occasionally attack a white man.
Blankets and a heavy overcoat are necessary, for the hot sand of the daytime becomes ice cold at night. Meat and mealie meal, tea, milk sugar and a small apple complete the desert pellicouan's outfit.
For days he sits on his camel, plodding across the glaring yellow sand with his eyes and ears full of grit, without the slightest relief from the all-pervading heat. There are no trees, or pools, in the Kalantari. But, rivers, or pools in the Kalantari, bring the possibility of lying down on a scorpion at night.
The policeman may have to travel for a week to reach a single white man at some lonely outpost just because the Ceasan Department requires a form to be filled in.
Camels used in the Kalahari home from the Sudan. The palace are expected to cover forty miles a day in normal times. When great lousus hordes are threatening to leave their breeding places in the Kalahari and the Sahara, they are forming a camp of the Union that they can control pet animals so cover eighty miles of desert in twenty-four hours to bring the news to the nearest telegraph office.

Indian Chief Had Simple Plan for Taking Census
NORALZITN, chief of the Chichlimean tribe of India that once inhabited the Valley of Mexico; devolved a simple plan for taking the consu of his subjects. Under his system no consu-takes tred upon the newly washed front porch of the careful housewife, leaving footprints in sticky clay. Nor did the asgant injure into the private matters of the family head, says the Detroit News.
Instead, each subject placed a small stone in a place designated by the child, the stone for each member of the family. Carved into a columned stone and hauled them to an open field, where they were counted and placed in heaps. Twelve of these heaps have been discovered by scientists and a count of the stones indicates the Chichlimean tribe contained 3,200,000 members.

Anthropological Test Determines Parentage
VIENNA.—The paternity of a child has been established to the satisfaction of a Vienna court by anthropological tests made by Prof. Roche of the University of Vienna philic. Examination and comparison of discriminate marks is the basis of the test.
Only 50,000 persons, out of 500,000 have identified "papillary grading," according to Dr. Roebe. Of these, only 10,000 will be found to possess heads of the same type.
In the third test paraphrases only 500 will show noses of similarity and hardly 160 of the number will have parts of the game type. Power than twenty will show the same shaped eye and only five the same color of hair and eyes. Finally, but one person remains whose fingers show papillary drawings similar to those of the old whose paraphrase is being sought.
