AMELIA SAYERS, BOX 22, STATION L, NEW YORK CITY Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The mighty force of Negro organization must now be felt in the world as never before, for the chance and opportunity to establish the race firmly in world affairs is gradually passing. Alien Propaganda The evil influence of alien propaganda has come nigh destroying the Negro for good, leaving him as a baffled outcast of our international social system. It is surprising to hear and see the influence others have used and had over the black man as to make him blind to his own interests, and to have him advocating the cause of others and denouncing himself and his own racial movements. Oh, what a pity the black man is so dumb and such a racial fool! Blacks Against Blacks I have just read a paper from Trinidad wherein the black teachers of that country are expressing themselves as not being in favor of my going to that country because it would tend to create a race feeling between the races there, yet in the same article they state the terrible economic plight of the blacks whom they are supposed to teach and lead; yet all the other classes in the country are wealthy and happy, but there should be no misunderstanding. The blacks form 80 per cent. of the population of Trinidad, yet their black teachers, under the urge of their employers and social patrons, think it would be harmful for someone interested in the blacks to visit the country because it would cause unpleasantness among the races. Now one wants no more glaring argument than this to show that the Negro is his own enemy. In Trinidad the Negro teachers have openly declared themselves the enemy of the black masses, and not the white man directly. What is true of these Negro teachers of Trinidad is also true of certain Negro leaders and professionals in other parts of the world. There is only one remedy for this, and it is for the Negro masses to cut themselves loose from such traitors and false leaders. The easiest way to cut loose from a Negro when he compromises the rights of the race, as the teachers in Trinidad are doing, is to starve him to death. Refuse to support him in his profession, trade, calling or occupation and force him to seek his living NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1928 acle of Blacks HOW TRAITOROUS FOOLS OF THE NEGRO RACE DO INJURY TO THEIR BLACK BRETHREN Striking Example Furnished by Negro Teachers of Trinidad, British West Indies EXPRESS THEMSELVES AS NOT IN FAVOR OF HON. MARCUS GARVEY VISITING THE ISLAND Yet-in-Same Breath They Lament Terrible Economic Plight of the Blacks The Twitkous Should Be Boycotted by the Forward-Looking Starvation the Only Cure among those who have inspired him to betray his race. Use the Boycott We must adopt the internal boycott against traitorous Negroes as we shall do against our enemies of other races. When you starve your enemies, they will disappear; therefore, the only sensible thing for the forward looking Negroes of Trinidad to do is to starve that group of teachers that subscribe to the unconstitutional doctrine of preventing the people of Trinidad having among them anyone they choose to have. Afraid of the Truth Men the world over are so afraid of the truth and merit of Garveyism that they can't stand in its presence. The doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are so powerful and great and gripping that men are afraid of it everywhere. This is a great triumph for those of us who follow the Red, Black and Green. The foolish of the world do not know that they cannot successfully oppose a righteous cause. It grows in spite of opposition, just as the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing. Blacklist of Negroes The Negroes of Trinidad and all other parts of the world should keep a list of all the Negroes that oppose them in this their effort to rise to racial independence, so that in the future we can deal with them and their children. Fall in Line The appeal is now made to Negroes every-where to fall in line and make the Universal er, father, brother, sister, sweetheart, wife, or other read the world over, THE AFRICAN All Leaders in the U.

We must either organize now and move on to success or be willing to stagnate and die. Honest and Upright Black Men We need everywhere in the world today honest and upright black men and women to carry forward the grand and glorious principles of our organization. Negroes, for goodness' sake, let us become united; let us be honest toward each other; let us love each other; let us co-operate and help each other. This is the only way we can climb to success as a people. 20,000,000 Members for 1929 I pray that officers and members of our world-wide organization will get to realize that we can only succeed when we practice honesty in our local divisions and truly and faithfully support the Parent Body in America and the Foreign Headquarters at Kingston, Jamaica. Every division is requested to become financial as from January, 1928, so that we can look forward to the 1929 Convention with pride. We must organize 20,000,000 Negroes for the 1929 Convention. Our greatest work is now before us and we must do it. While other men oppose us, let us answer with organization and greater organization. Every Negro community in the world must now reorganize itself for the sacred principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Great and Wonderful Future As your President-General, I see a great and wonderful future before you through organization, so let us organize now. The man who quibbles or prevaricates now is no friend of our race. We must now unite and work together for the common good. As American, African, South and Central American and West Indian Negroes, we must clasp hands of friendship and brotherhood and march on to nationhood and empire. The black man's day is coming and no one must be allowed to postpone it. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant.

Mme. M. L. T. Ebimber, Ass't International Organizer, Calls Upon the Membership Throughout the World to Contribute Liberally to the Support of an Institution Indispensable to the Raca Says in the Past Men Were Not Prepared to Fill U. N. I. A. Cabinet Posts; Liberty University Is Equipping the Young—Mr. J. H. Smith Tells of an Informing Evening with Followers of Gandhi NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, Feb. 27—Liberty University was the main theme tonight at the weekly mass meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This is the institution of learning owned by the Universal Negro Improvement Association where members of the race are receiving such training as will eminently fit them for life's battles in a world where the Negro has to forge his way through a network of hindrances if he must even exist. Liberty University stands on the James River in Virginia—by some quirk of fate on the site of the landing of the second batch of slaves from Africa. It was formerly the Smallwood-Corey Institute, founded by Mr. Thomas Smallwood, an enterprising and race-conscious Negro, who, unfortunately, died just as his life's ambition was attained. It is a splendid property, well situated in healthy terrain, and peculiarly suited for the work the U. N. I. A. plans to accomplish there. Hon. Mme. M. L. T. Ebimber, Asst. Organizer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in the absence of Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative to the President-General, made a very stirring appeal for donations to a fund to lodge certain pressing obligations of the University, and there was a very splendid response. Hon. J. Miller, 1st Vice-President of the New York Local, occupied the chair, while addresses were delivered by Mr. J. H. Smith, a member of the New York Local, and Mrs. Lucy McCarthey, 1st Lady. Vice-President. An excellent concert program was rendered, including selections by the Universal Band under Professor Ulric Hassel, and contributions by a harmony quartet from Newark, New Jersey, the front page message of the Hon. Marcus Garvey was read by Miss Ethel Collins, 2nd Lady Vice President. This is to inform the various Legion Post Commanders that Major H. G. Saltus of the Universal African Royal Guards, U. A. L., has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and assigned to the office of Adjutant General. Therefore, all post commanders are instructed to write to his office for any information regarding the activities of the Legions. MR. J. H. SMITH'S ADDRESS Mr. J. H. Smith, a member of the New York Local, was the first speaker: He said that along with another member of the Local he attended a function given by the New York representatives of the Gandhii movement, and he was very much impressed by what he saw and heard. He had read often, of course, of the firm hold the teachings of Mahatma Gandhid on the minds of his countrymen at home and abroad, but it was left to that meeting to bring home to him the splendid earnestness and loyalty of his followers, their unbounded enthusiasm and their devotion to the cause of India—the task of freeing herself from the stranglehold of Great Britain. And he was all the more impressed when he remembered and realized that in that gathering of noble Indiana were some who a few brief years before had been hored on an immigrant ship and sent in slavery, under the detestable indenture system, to various islands and colonies of the West Indies, there after laborious toll as nerfs to win their freedom and start life anew, so to speak. Heara Mahatma Gandhi's Sister He was particularly thrilled as he sat in that gathering and heard the elder of Mahatma Gandhi speak brilliantly in defense of India and the womanhood of India in particular and of the Indianites they were made to surrender at the hands of the foreigner on Indian soil. It made his mind hard back to certain women even of Harlem. New York, who, because they were born in the United States, seemed to think that it "would not do" to stand openly and whollyheartedly behind that mighty movement represented by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Greatness of the Orlont. He was also pleased beyond measure to lionet to a young, earnest representative of Mahatma Gandhi speak out in plain language to the people of this great country, telling them of Ipdia's great history and of what she was capable of achieving and intended to achieve in the near future. That young man told the American people that the people of India numbered more than three times the people of America, and that when one referred to the Orient one referred to a west part of the earth's surface, the denizens of whom were capable of tremendous accomplishments — accomplishments of which might radically alter the whole triond of events as they were at the present time. And thus he, the speaker, was able to get a grasp of the relationship, nay, idnkship, of the Negro, to his brothers across the seas, all sworn to serve a common cause, all brothers in oppression. It made his heart rejoice to know that just as Mahatma Gandhi had his loyal disciples and agents in America, and in all parts of the world, so Marcus Garvey, the greatest Negro that ever lived, had his faithful Houffonts in the United States of America and throughout the universe, all sworn to hold up his right hand and to work for a free and redeemed Africa even as Indians were working for a free and redeemed India. MRS. L. McCARTHY'S ADDRESS Mrs. Lucy McCarthy, Vice-President of the New York Local, was the next speaker. Speaking from the subject "Preparedness," she said it was an accepted fact that nothing could be done off-hand. To achieve success the individual must prepare himself for whatever he had in place. And so that evening she was going to make a plea for Liberty University, that splendid institution of the James River, owned by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, where the youth of the race were being prepared for the great task of soil government that lay ahead. Prepared men and women In the past, the Universal Negro Improvement Association had suffered by not having the right man in responsible positions—men who were not prepared, who did not measure up to their jobs and who did not have the correct perspective. Liberty University was changing all that. In the future Negro men and women would easily be found capable of doing noble service to the cause of Africa, and this would be brought about by the opportunities afforded by Liberty University. She, the speaker, need, therefore, indulge in no flight of oratory to per- COMING IN LIBERTY HALL 120 W. 138th St., N. Y. A DRAMA PLAYED BY MEMBERS OF NEW YORK LOCAL WILL BE PRESENTED BY SENIOR PRESIDENT OF THE JUVENILES Watch for Date Benefit Liberty University suede her hearers and the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world to support the University to the utmost. Support Liberty University. Funds were badly needed at the present time to assist the growth of the institution, and it was the duty of every loyal man and woman of the organization to put his or her hands into their pockets and contribute Nothing but dollars would do, and she was sure that real Garveyites would not fall this wonderful undertaking in its time of need. Liberty University was indispensable to the race, and that was the greatest thing she could find to say to solicit solid financial support for it at this time. Hon. Mme. M. L. T. Ebmler, Assistant Organizer of the Universal Negro Improvement-Association, was greeted with applause as she came forward to speak. She said here was the duty that evening, not so much to make a speech, but to see to it that the New York Local did its duty by Liberty University, which was a specialty in need of aid. She had just come that evening from Brooklyn, where she had attended a meeting of the Association and where the members had contributed liberally to the University. It was her good fortune at that meeting to hear a prominent bishop relate a conversation which he had a Congressman in which the latter had denounced in the strongest terms the shameful deportation of the Hon. Marcus Garvey from the United States of America, and he had expressed the conviction that the day was not far distant when Marcus Garvey would return to America, to preach free and unhindered his saving doctrine to the Negroes of America. After, touching upon the need for preparedness as outlined by Mrs. McCarthy, a former speaker, Mme. Ebimber, took charge of the raising of the collection, at the close of which she expressed herself as being very pleased with the response that had been made by the people of Liberty Hall. End of Leprosy Predicted In.Next Ten Years LONDON.—Loprosy, one of the most drigaded diseases, may be brought under control, or even stamped out in the next decade, the annual report of the British Empire Loprosy - Relief Association predicts. This report will be presented at the meeting of the association Friday. It says that leprosy can be stamped out by means of treatment with oil extracted from the dried fruit of the hydrangea pusilla. (The hyndocarpus tree is a native of Southeastern Asia. Certain of the spores yield poisonous fruits, whose seeds are employed by East Indian and Chinese doctors in the treatment of cutaneous diseases.) It is estimated that in the British Empire alone there are 416,000 persons afflicted with leprosy. Stations for the treatment of the disease, it is said, will be opened all over the empire where it is prevalent. The Imperial and Dominion. Governments are cooperating in this move. Liverpool Women Try Bricklaying WASHINGTON.—Substituting the trowol and mortar for the rolling pin and cook book, forty-five women in Liverpool, England, are engaged in the trade of bricklaying and building, the Commerce Department reports. The women are said to be as efficient at their unusual task as are the man-culinary bricklayers. Two other Liverpool women fish for a living, the report revealed.

Against Great Odds Hon. William Ware, president of the Gincinnati Division, U. N. I. A., and chairman of the Committee formed to take care of the members' interests in connection with the Chattanooga outrage, reports that the case is proceeding successfully. All four defendants, Messrs. Ira Johnson, Emry Bailey, James Jackson and Louis Moore, have been acquitted by the Court of the serious charges preferred against them, but they have been convicted and sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment with a fine of $50 each on misdemeanor charges. The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court of Tennessee. George W. Chamlee, a former Attorney General of the State of Tennessee, is representing the men. A further sum of $543.94 is urgently needed to complete payment of the attorney's fee of $1,000, and members and divisions throughout the country are urged by Hon. E. B. Knox, personal representative of the President-General, to further rally to the Chattanooga Defense Fund so that the attorneys may be paid in full at an early date for the exceptional services they have rendered to those unfortunate men and to the organization.

One Negro woman, Mrs. E. Hammard Harpor, of West Virginia, is a member of the House of Representatives of her State. She was appointed by the Governor to succeed her husband, who died. "Republicans more than double the number of Democrats," the League says. "The political representation of women on the 1922 rattles to: Republicans, 68; Democrats, 34; no party designation; no partisan, 1; Independent, 1." The few State elections in November, 1927, resulted in changes in women's legislative ranks in only four States—new woman Senator in Maine, two new members in place of the former three women, members in Mississippi, a decree of women representatives in New Jersey from nine to seven and two women re-elected and two new members in Virginia. Pressure With Finger Will Send a Brick Bending a brick suggests the trick of a strong man, but almost anyone can do it by simply pressing against the unit with his finger, says P. P. C. Mechanic Magazine. This is shown by a remarkably sensitive instrument that the Bureau of Standards has devised for detecting slight strain in various materials used in industry, substances that appear to be perfectly rigid yet give undoratress. The gauge indicates that pressing a brick with your finger bends it about one hundred-thousandth of an inch. The gauge also reveals that, a steel bar bends by its own weight if picked up by one end. Paris Girls' High Schools Teach Milking of Cows PARTS.—Milking cows is one of the principal courses of study in the agricultural, education departments recently instituted in a number of girls' high schools here. Pupil's proficiency in the "art" is to be determined by examinations. directors of the schools are having difficulties in solving. Since the Board of Education has not provided, cows, the schooling must be done by proxy. In one or two cases where public benefactors have offered to provide the bovines teachers are stumped by the problem of teaching a few score.students with only one cow at the testing ground.

The Redmuth comet was discovered in the constellation of Cancer or the Orch, which is present directly to the south in the late evening sky. The comet is too faint to be seen without the aid of a large telescope. --- Beautiful hair is easy to have Nothing adds so much to an attractive woman's appearance as the appealing beauty of soft, smooth, lustrous hair.

O., New York City Name Address Town PHILADELEIHA, Feb. 17 (A. D.). Dr. W. W. Comfort, president of Haverford College, finds "every little to boast of" in our present day civilization. He told the annual meeting of the Philadelphia Alumni Association of Wesleyan College last night; "We are riding with fatuous confidence on a wave of alleged prosperity; we are lulled to sleep by material comforts, unprepared for the spiritual testing that will come some day." The only countries, he said, which benefited from the World War are Germany and Italy, the latter because of its Mussolini, "one of the most extraordinary men of modern times." Further than that, after all these years our international relations, he said, are so bad "that should the slightest suspicion arises on one side we would again be thrown into the conjugation. "Our governments are ridden with dishonesty and graft from top to bottom, and there in no greater nonsense dispensed in this whole country than on the question of education." Frog Sealed in Stone 31 Years Found Alive EASTLAND, Tex., Feb. 19 (A. P.)—A lorned frog: sealed alive in the cornerstone of the Court House here thirty-one years ago, was alive when the stone was opened yesterday, according to County Judge Edward S. Pritchard. The old Court House is being razed. It is a West Texas tradition that a burned frog can exist a century without food or water. A skeptical newspaper man had the judge verify the report that the frog was alive. The cornerstone was opened in the presence of a throng of curious residents who gathered to see the frog. It appeared lifeless for some time. After a while it opened its eyes and in about twenty minutes began to breathe. The mouth, however, appeared to have grown together. The frog was placed in a box in the custody of Judge Pritchard and is on exhibition. If necessary in feeding its mouth will be opened by an operation. JERUSALEM.—The court, at Cafro has pronounced sentence of death on All Mahmud Selim for murder. The condemned man was at one time imprisoned at Tura, a place just to the south of Cairo. Tiring of his confinement, All Mahmud Selim attempted suicide. The attempt falling, he was kept under strict surveillance. He, hif upon another and a sururer means of gaining his end. He started a quarrel with a fellow prisoner, over some trifling affair, possessed himself of an iron bar and with this beat the other until he died. On being tried Selim at once confessed to the dead, declaring that he had committed the murder knowing, that it would lead to his being sentenced to Death and so reckon him from his sufferings. He received the sentence with composure and satisfaction, and, after its pronouncement, turned to the judge with the words: "God bless your excellency! That is exactly what I had been hoping for." 6.053 Are Enrolled at OXFORD, Eng.—Oxford University, although possibly the best known educational institution in the world, has a much smaller student enrollment than the scholastic cities, known as American universities. The university yearbook for 1928, which has just been issued, gives the number of undergraduates as 6,053, the matriculation for this year being 1,603. Unlike American universities, however, the proportion of women to men students is very small, the enrollment being divided into 5,126 men and 927 women, which means women are less than 20 percent of the whole student body. The number of women students has decreased in the last several years, although the university authorities have suddenly become alarmed at the number of women students to the extent of passing a regulation forbidding their number to increase beyond a certain proportion.

NEW YORK, MARCH 3, 1928 CONFERENCE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONERS WE are sure the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association read with interest and satisfaction, in The Negro World of February 25, of the doings of the Conference of the High Commissioners, at Cincinnati, February 8-9, Hon. E. B. Knox-presiding. It was the most important conference of those in authority in the association since Hon. Marcus Garvey designated them to have charge of the work in the United States, because of his enforced residence in Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies. The High Commissioners who made up the conference—Hon. E. B. Knox, Hon. William Ware, Hon. J. A. Craighen, Hon. W. A. Wallace and Hon. J. J. Peters, with Hon. S. V. Robertson of the Cleveland Division being given a voice in the proceedings—are among the strongest men in the association, men who have given the association and President-General Garvey long and devoted service. The needs of Liberty University and of the Parent Body of the association were stated in plain terms, and we dare say appealed directly to the readers of The Negro World. But the necessity for a more generous support of The Negro World, for a more general circulation of it, as a source of information and education, was not coupled with the other needs, not because it was not recognized and desired, but because the needs of the university and the Parent Body appeared to be more urgent. Definite plans for the work of the High Commissioners were discussed and approved, to the end that the association in the United States may be able to function a hundred per cent, as we move towards the international convention in 1929. But the better to get into the spirit of the work of the conference you should read the report of what was said and done in it as it was reported in The Negro World of February 25. UNITED STATES UNCHECKED BY LATIN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE THE Latin-American Union Conference, in which twenty-one States participated, at Havana, came to a close with the condition of affairs prevailing which obtained before the meeting. The position of helplessness in the hands of the United States appeared to have got on the nerves of the delegates in such a way that they were powerless to get the concert of action necessary to perfect a more perfect union of the States of the Western Hemisphere, to break the force of the Monroe Doctrine and the consequent right of the United States to represent and speak for the Latin-American States in any interference or aggression by any European State, to establish the sovereignty of States so that outside interference in their domestic affairs, as in the case of Haiti and Nicaragua, would be impossible, leaving the United States with a free hand In the Carribean States, and the inter failure to get anywhere with the proposal to equalize the tariff laws and regulations to the advantage of all of the States. The position of advantage in which the Conference left the United States is stated by the intelligent correspondent of the New York World, in the following: "Mr. Hughes has not had to contend for a free hand in the Caribbean. He will return home with a free hand because Latin-America has at present neither technical competence nor the will nor the spirit of international co-operation to create an international society. "So plain is this that the observation may be ventured that even if the United States delegation had been instructed to transform the Caribbean policy from one of free-handed intervention into one of mutual responsibility it would have met insuperable difficulties in persuading the neighbors of the United States to share the responsibility. "But, of course, the Washington delegation, though it is one of the ablest and most enlightened the country has sent to an international conference, moves in the shadow of the Senate and of Administration policy, and is mortally afraid to venture off the beaten path. "That almost certainly accounts for the wholly negative character of its policy. That explains why it has done nothing, even as a gesture or as an example, to propose better machinery for adjusting disputes. That explains why nothing has been suggested which even though it were not immediately practical, would educate opinion in the Americas." SLAVERY STILL PERSISTS IN NINETEEN AREAS THE London Spectator carries an editorial on "Slavery Today" which was inspired by a recent meeting at Hull, "the City of Wilberforce," "to support the almost world-wide effort now being made to abolish slavery in all its forms, to use a phrase incorporated in the new slavery convention." The Spectator is of the opinion that to many "it is a startling discovery that, ninety-four years after the passing of the British emancipation act, the world should be confronted with the task of liberating some 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 slaves"; and that it is even more surprising that territories under British administration should have been called upon to set free 230,000 slaves within the past fifteen years, and, that further, we are committed to the task of securing in this new year the liberty of over 215,000 slaves in the Sierra Leone Protectorate. Abysiasts appear to be the worst offender. It has some 2,000,000 slaves, and its system is said to be one of the worst that has curred the Continent of Africa. Within the past three years some 187 slave traders have been arrested near the capital and given sentences of fifteen years' imprisonment. There are some 500,000 to 1,000,000 slaves in Arabia, and perhaps a very great many more. It is said that slavery exists in nineteen political areas of the world, but we have a limited knowledge only of some seven of them. The League of Nations, through its committee on inquiry into slavery, is working on the problem, and the Spectator says that the "anti-slavery people are, happily, very much in evidence and their quiet work is making much headway in this and other countries." Let us pray and labor for the time when there shall exist human slavery nowhere on the globe. MANHOOD SUFFRAGE IN JAPAN civilization of its own since it joined the commonwealth of nations is not only one of the most remarkable facts in modern life, but points directly to the possibility of other Asiatic and African States developing a like progress. The organic structure of Japanese administration has gradually undergone a radical change, in so far that it has ceased to be an autocratic and become in some sort a democratic government. This has been brought about by the education of the masses and by the policy of high caste Japanese attending schools of higher learning in Europe and America. This latter policy has been of inestimable advantage to Japan. It has enabled its educated men to shape the development of their country along the best lines of administration as well as enabling her statesmen to measure arms diplomatically with the statesmen of Europe and America. Her army and navy also rank with the best in the world. The latest phase of democratizing the administration of Japanese affairs is the extension of manhood suffrage to all of the male citizens of voting age, increasing the voters from 3,000,000 to 12,000,000. In the first election under the new system recently held there was the greatest order; and far from upsetting the settled tendencies of the country, those in authority who have guided the people on the highway of progress were sustained by substantial majorities. Now, what Japan has accomplished in self-development and government other Asiatic States and States of Africa can develop. And, what is more, the thoughtful men of Asia and Africa are looking and laboring to that end and should succeed. INCOME TAX RETURNS BELOW $5,000 SIMPLE To the taxpayer whose gross or net income for 1327 was $5,000, or less, and was derived chiefly from salary or wages, the problem of correctly making out a Federal income tax return is not difficult. Such returns are made on Form 1040A, a single sheet. Persons any part of whose net income, regardless of amount, was derived from a business or profession, including farming, are required to use the larger form, 1040. The gross income of the usual business consists of the gross profits on sales, plus any income from investments and, incidental or outside operations or sources. The return must show the gross sales, purchases and costs of goods sold. To reflect net income correctly, inventories are necessary at the beginning and end of each taxable year. The farmer is required to report an gross, income all profits derived, from the sale or exchange of farm products and livestock, whether produced on the farm or purchased and resold. The fair market value of merchandise or groceries sold on the farm or sale of farm products which were rushed must be included; also profits from renting a farm on the crop-sharing basis and the rental and sale of farm lands. British Press Talks of Many Empty Cradles LONDON. England's empty cradle rank with the prayer book controversy as a subject for discussion in the British press. The announcement that the British birth rate for 1927 was the lowest in its history provokes gloom in conservative circles, while it is halted as a good sign by ultra-Socialists and birth controlists, who are clamoring for fewer and better babies and deepening the campaign for larger families in a country which has extensive unemployment and is urging its excess population to emigrate. The Daily Express expresses a view common in upper and middle class circles when it says the Empire markets are Britain's only hope, and that the empty Dominions must be peopled by a propoferance of the British race. Alongside appeal for more babies articles appear in the London press depicting in retaliation of England's surplus population to go to the colonies and suggestions that many of its 2,000,000 surplus women could and husbands, work and happiness. In Canada, Australia and South Africa. The venerable, T. P. O'Connor has created considerable stlry by throwing out the suggestion that all boys be compelled to marry at 21 and all girls at 18. This has started statisticians to work and prompted much speculation as to how the Irish publicist and parliamentarian would find husbands for all the girls unless the laws against bigamy be repealed. Equal Honor for All Who Died in A. E. F. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—That equal honor should be accorded to all Americans who died while serving in the American Expeditionary Force abroad during the World War is the ruling of Secretary of War Davis in reply to a suggestion, that a change should be made in the inceptions of headstones in American cemeteries in Europe. It was suggested that the language, "till in action" or "died of wound," be included in appropriate cases. "The thought must not be overlooked," Mr. Davis made in reply, "that all our men went overseas with the cause caught in their hearts, willing to give their lives. Whether they died in the front lines or from disease caused by exposure, they made the sacrifice for the preservation of one and the same ideal and should be accorded equal honor." Homely Philosophy THE LETTERS WE WRITE We rarely stop to consider how much of ourselves we novel in the letters we write. The words and phrases, not what we put down intentionally, but what is shown by the paper we use, the way we write, the general appearance of both envelope and enclosure. We picture our very selves when we send a letter—the less, conscious we are, the more perfect the portrait. This-being true, it were well to be more careful, more guarded, more in command of ourselves, when we write, for the impressions so made are more indelible than the spoken word.—Georgia Douglas Johnson. Professions Are Found By "Psychotechnique" PARIS — Parents' perplexities in picking professions for their children are to be relieved by the new science of "psychotechnique," according to its leading exponents from twenty-two nations who recently discussed the subject. Instead of waiting until boys and girls attain college age to choose their future paths, parents are urged by the psychotechnicians to settle the problem when their children finish elementary school. Chance circumstances are no longer to play any part in the decision, since the scientists, by means of elaborate tests, physical, mental and psychological, involving examination of memory attention and general intelligence, claim to be able to pick exactly the job for which each boy and girl is best fitted. At several European schools where the tests have been used for some years not a single pupil has switched from the career mapped out for him. Columbia University lent $77,618.35 to her sona last year, according to Nicholas M. McKnight, secretary of the Advisory Committee on Student Loans. "In practically no cases have loans been made from the general fund for purposes other than the payment of tuition fees, and the notes have been made for periods of not over one year, subject to renewal upon payment of interest," he said yesterday in explaining how needy students are assisted. "Our borrowers are rarely permitted to accumulate a total of indebtedness of more than the amount of one year's interest." As the loan fund more nearly approaches the size originally planned, we shall be justified in increasing where desirable the size of the loans and lengthening the term of the notes so as to carry some of the borrowers not only through their last undergraduate years, but through several years of graduate and professional school work." Where Lincoln Died WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. — Representative Rathbone, Republican, of Illinois, has introduced a bill authorizing an appropriation of $18,600 to restore the house in which President Lincoln died to its former condition and appearance, and to install such furniture and furnishings as may be acquired to make it as nearly as possible a reproduction of what it was when Lincoln died. This bill further authorizes annual appropriations, under the direction of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital for the care, maintenance and protection of this building and its contents. The parents of Mr. Rathbone were in the box with President Lincoln on the night of his assassination—C. P. B. The first one-man show in a New York art gallery of the work of a Negro artist, was opened on February 28 at the New Gallery, 560 Madison avenue. The paintings are those of Archibald J. Molyte, Jr., 28 years old, of Chicago, who, to finance his career as an artist, has had to turn at times to ceal heaving, plumbing and waiting in dining cars. One of Mottley's portraits, "A Mutiltress," included in the present show, won the Frank G. Logan Medal and Prize at the Chicago Art Institute Exhibition in 1926. His study, "Byncopation," also won the Joseph N. Elsordrath Prize in the same show, and his portrait of his 'grandmother, called 'Mending Socks,' was hung in the Newark Museum's exhibition last year. The artist was born in New Orleans and has in him French and Indian blood as well as that of a pygmy tribe of East Africa. He was brought up in Chicago and studied at the Art Institute there. The pictures in the present exhibition include portraits, several of cabaret life, and six are imaginative portraits of voodooism. The Man Who Is Right Is Linked Up With God On one occasion it was said of, a general of old that "the stars in their courses fought against Sisera." That is to say they were pitiled with knives and an unholy knife and bucked the cosmic laws, and in the end they were sure to win against him. This was illustrated the other day in the case of Hickman, who is guilty of the most depraved and outrageous crime that we can recall in the history of the country. He kidnapped a little girl and promised to return her upon the payment of fifteen hundred dollars. He did return her, but it was her dismembered body. He had cruelly slain and mutilated-he for no reason except for the gratification of an unnatural and cruel lust for blood. When he attempted to get away all organised, society co-operated against him. The newpaper, the telegraph, the radio, besides every man and woman in the region, were alert to catch in the end he was nabbed in a diamond. No man knew 'laws' he sets in operation' when he attempts to defy the universe. No man's able to throw a monkey wrench into its machinery any more than he is able to stop the force of gravitation or the procession of the coulins. We may scott at God and the notions of His omipotence, but the law remains, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Nature is intent upon her own plans, deliberately and orderly, and whatsoever or whosoever defies them is eliminated sooner or later. The simplest peasant who obeys his conscience and resolutely sticks to doing right in wiser than the most learned cage who thinks he can do wrong and not is that the man who is right is linked up with God and the universe. The stars in their courses are his friends, but the man who does wrong never knows from whence unlooked-for enemy shall come forward and undo him. In the late war Germany was undoubtedly prepared to conquer France but she was not prepared to conquer the combined forces of the civilized world, who rushed to France's defense — Copyright, 1028. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ASBERSON Of the New York Institute of Medicine and Health Association Clean. Healthy Mouths "A healthy mouth implies a clean mouth," said Dr. Alfred Walker, of New York University College of Dentistry, speaking over the radio recently. The three essentials to a healthy mouth, according to Dr. Walker, are correct use of the teeth, their proper care, and the right diet. It is most important that people use their teeth properly. This implies chewing a certain amount of rough food in order to exercise the gums. Both sides of the mouth should be used. This is a great aid in keeping the teeth and gums healthy. The teeth should be brushed morning night—after every meal is even better. The upper teeth should be brushed with a downward, rotary motion, and the lower ones upward with a rotary motion. Good tooth paste and powders are an aid in keeping the teeth; clean, but the regularity with which they are brushed and the method used are even more important. Go to your dentist twice a year. Your tooth should be cleaned every six months by the dentist or dental hygienist. If there is need for repair work, it should be done in its early stages. It will cost less and hurt less then. Dentested or diseased teeth are an impairment to good health and should be corrected. Have a varied and well-balanced diet to get sufficient mineral salts or vitamins. It is important to include calcium, iron, and vitamin D in your daily mean to supply plenty of exercise, to burn some. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS BY ALLEN R. DOGGETT, JR., Feb. 25. The Negro is fast generating the farm for town and industrial centre Georgia, for instance, has lost one third of his Negro farmers in the ceasar period 1890-20, and is still losing them. One out of every six Negro tillers of the soil in South Carolina has departed for parts unknown. One out of every eight in Arkansas has gone, and in Alabama one out of ten left plow. The Negro population of these men and their families has abandoned leafy, shack, small terraced farms and the eternal debt of the tenant system. To many departure means education for their children, opportunity, escape from terrorism, security, freedom. The uplift fight to win a living from cotton in the older cotton States is slowly but surely being given up in favor of the levee lands or Texas and the newer soil and machinery of Oklahoma. The cotton lands of the Atlantic States, excepting specially favored localities, seem to be marking time before going back to the farm, with the help of a perfected mechanical cotton picker, or let us hope, reinvigorated by a radically different type of farming, North Carolina, in the only Eastern State, where "cotton is an important crop, showing an increase in the number of Negro farmers. The Landlord's Standpoint The situation is alarming from the staplepoint of the landlord. His labor supply is deserting him, and cotton labor, unlike that in many other crops, may not yet be replaced with machinery, for the hands at picking time govern the acreage planted. It is also alarming to the thoughtful Negroes and women working toward the upbuilding of a permanent agriculture. For it is not only the tenants and cropiers who have left the land; farm owners are deserting their homes in increasing numbers. - In Georgia, of the 46,000 farmers leaving the farms during 1950-205, 40,000 were owners. Altogether, 20,000 were in South Carolina, 3,000 decided the game was not worth the candle. In the cotton States, 23,000 home owners have gone. Bills to Pay The circumstances forcing these departures of farm owners seem to be many; but the immediate reason, deep rooted as it is in traditional technique and marketing, is the low purchasing power of an acre of cotton. In 1920 it took one and a half acres or cotton in Alabama to purchase what one acre would have in North Carolina, where cotton farming is carried on in coniferous forests and is seeded program. The same condition prevailed in 1926 and to a lesser extent in the other years. Georgia cotton growers needed three acres of cotton in 1920 and three and a half in 1928 to purchase what North Carolina farmers could buy with one acre. Similar inequalities prevailed for Arkansas and South Carolina. Country air is good, but every man who owns a farm has to pay. The property of the states has to pay. The 1920 was equal to or above that for the United States as a whole only in 1924 and 1925. But before those NGO farmers who now have a grip on the land release their hold, it may be well for them to pause and consider their position apart from their immediate and economic position and the contagion caught from the going of many of their friends. To this end BenJ. F. Hubert, president of the Georgia Mechanical and Industrial College, has inaugurated Negro Home School, a program designed for purpose of unitedly concentrating on the problems threatening this fundamental hold on the Negro on the economic structure. If, during this week, through preachers, teachers, farm-and-home demonstration agents, Jeanne Apropos of the press in general, we never grow weary of commending the Negro press, notwithstanding there is vast room for improvement. The educational value to Negro youth of the Negro press is all but beyond estimation. The Negro press made significant gains in the year of 1927. And we note with pride more space is given to achievement of Negro people, art, craft, education and health rather than crime and scandal.—Indianapolis Recorder. Education is constructive. It enables the individual to discover what is in front of him, to develop it, and offer it to the world as an opportunity to serve and excellence. It does not make men ashamed to themselves; it enables them to discover in themselves what they are in other men that is Godly and noble, and appreciate it. It puts men and races on a par with each other, confessing no inferiority and admitting equality when proven—Atlanta Independent. When a person takes himself, too seriously he has reached the place where, he will not be of much further service either to himself or to his neighbors. He imagines that he has reached the acme of perfection, and that there is nothing better for him to do. He needs to learn to take with good grace the jibes of those who, although loving him, see his many imperfections and do not hesitate to point them out—Boston Chronicle. As a people we are doing an incredible thing. We are letting the history of the race get away from us. We are looking it trevocently. Our aged ones die and we bury with them, precious history. Documents and rules of historical value are destroyed as if they were wounded and worthless. If Negro History Week could impress us to a sense of our duty with regard to collecting and preserving every bit of workers, nurses and other public-sponsored people, watering farm owners may be induced to look at rural life not only as it is now, but as it may be made to be, a lasting benefit will come to those who like country living and who now seem to be formed of pottery conditions during this week, which a vision of rural life such as will turn them from an attitude of pessimism into becoming constructive workers in the upbringing of a countryside that meets and satisfies the needs and longings of its people. African Race Too Prone To Belittle Their Own Some of the press criticisms that have appeared from African pens have told the impression that the peculiar kink in African mentality, which is the source of our weakness, will long persist. It is the tendency to pull to pieces whatever a brother African attempts to do, if even it be for the good of the race. . . . It is difficult to understand what it is. It may be a sort of vanity, bordering on vulgar egism, which cannot brook. The supposed glory that goes to a pioneer in public welfare occurs a momentary endurance. Take the case of Mucus Carvery just released from prison. He may have made mistakes, but his faults, if any, were focused and magnified by fellow Africans who actively took part in hounding him to gaol. There is nothing sacred in the eyes of typical Africans with this peculiar kink in their composition. They can tear any reputation to pieces and bespirit it with the pollution of their own imaginations. And all for what? That they may pull some one down from a given sinnacle and themselves assume the role. It has been illustrated by a table. It is said that the reason why the dominant race got right to the top was that what the gods set up as a prize for the races to compete, with the whites they helped one another to climb up for it, while with us blacks we continually pulled one another down in the very attempt to reach it for the race. And thereby hangs a moral of deep import. We point out these things, since with all our gettings, if we got not the spirit of self-effacement in the pursuit of the general good, it profite us nothing.—Gold Coast Leader. Scientist Fixes Man's Zero in Intelligence CHICAGO, Feb. 17 (A. P.)—Man's absolute zero: in intelligence has been found by Prof. L. L. Thurstone at the University of Chicago. He projected the extent of human knowledge down to the very zero point and found it everywhere. In defining it Prof. Thurstone said: "Absolute zero is approximately twice as far below the dullest children as the dullest children, are below the brightest children for the same age. "A study of the intelligence of children from 1½ to 16 years indicates that the ability which is measured by intelligence is born, or a few months before birth, even though we have no reliable methods of measuring intelligence below two or three years of age." Better Housing for Harlem With the view to improving Harlem housing conditions, the Negro Tenants' League met recently in Rush Memorial Church and formed a permanent organization for the purpose of agitating for a continuance of the rent laws and for better housing for Negroes in congened Harlem. More than seventy-five "rentors" were present. race history must saving what a profitable week it would be. There is little excuse now for one being ignorant of our contributions to history.—Louisville Leader. Once more we wouldain remind our people that it is not enough to criticize. We must at the proper stage be able to back criftism by suitable action. We want an independent financial backing to our educational idea, and until we are in a position to command this we had better cease prating. We should like to see practical minds keep in view this aspect of the matter so that when the time comes all may be prepared to add the grand enterprise of African educational emancipation—Gold Coast Leader. More charity for others will mean charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take a keener interest in reporting something good of some person than something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destructive. Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news," stop and think a moment. See if you can't think of something good to say in place of it. The chances are ten-to-one that you can, and that you will—California' Eagle. Go to work and keep the faith—die if need be, for when doing we are paving the way for future blessings, liberty and tranquility. We are today living in a new age, an age of science, industry invention and business, and our racial problems must be solved through these channels — Red Bank media. Quick thinking, closer concentration upon the individual task, time and labor saving habits, and accessories, specific and correct following of instructions and placement. In lines of employment for which the students qualify, prepared, are showing the demands of this new age. Washington Traded.

The Negro World, 142 West 130th St., New York City MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 34.—No major conflict between the marines and the Sandinistas is likely in the near future, although accidental encounters between the outlaws and our patrols is possible at any time, it was said today at the headquarters of the Second Brigade. The marines have practically given up hope of getting General Augustino Sandino into a decisive battle, by which they could eliminate him in one blow, and are now putting their hope in a virtual war of attrition, if Sandino's case is to be finished within the next few months. Reports of one or two or more guerrilla dead are coming in daily, without any marine casualties, and the United States officers express the belief that this will discourage Sandino's forces sufficiently to lead to their eventual breaking up. Residents of the northern zone express the belief that Sandino is probably short of munitions now, and has let many of his men go to prey independently on the villages or return to their homes, subject to his call when he is ready to strike a new blow. Reports reached here today of the capture by marines of two men, former employees at the hacienda near Matagalpa owned by Charles Potter, a British subject, which Sandino raided. They went off with Sandino and later deserted him. They said Sandino's force now was only 200 or 300 men, compared to 2,000 when his activities were at their height. They said also that Sandino was moving from the Pena Blanca region eastward to the Coco River, with the intention of going to Puerto Cabezas, on the eastern coast, which was once the capital of Juan B. Sacasa, former Liberal leader. The marines are skeptical of the Puertoro Cabezas statement, regarding it as probably an effort to mislead them. The prisoners confirmed the impression that Sandino has taken advantage of the unwillingness of the marino aviators to bomb the guerrillas unless fired on and has instructed his men not to fire on the airplanes. Marine Plane Fired On By Nicaraguan Band MANAGUA, Feb. 21.—A Marine Corps scouting plane was fired upon by a small group of supposed Sandino followers fifty miles northeast of Jinotega today, but it was not hit. The pilot reported he saw only four men. BLUEFIELDS, Feb. 21.—Although rumors that General Sandino's force is headed for this coast have not been verified, Indian scouts sent out to establish contact with the insurrectionists report that the rebel leader has passed through Pona Blanca, Department of Jinotega. This makes it possible, it is pointed out, for him to strike at either of three important points on the east coast—Cabo Gracas, Puerto Cabazos or Rio Grande. An attack upon the first is looked upon as more likely and safe for him. The possibility of laborers on banana plantations north of Rio Grande riving and joining him merely for the purpose of looting the commissary stores of the Cuyamel Fruit Company and the Brazilian Bluff Lumber Company would be very tempting, it is said. Many of the people on the east coast are known to be partisans of Sandino and to be against General Moncada. For my big value Rhoda Hair Grower, Shampoo. Dye Salve Men's 12 minute, Shampoo.

Although the newspapers of Managua are filled with dispatches and comment on the recent proposal to have the warring parties of Nicaragua choose a compromise candidate for President in order to solve the present crisis, in most circles here the suggestion is taken as at the best an empty gesture and at the worst a new smoke screen with a double design to handicap General Jose Moncada, the Liberal candidate, and hamper the ADRican program to supervise the election. General Moncada, in an interview this evening, declares his unequivocal opposition to the compromise plan, and this in itself seems sufficient to shelve it. Among well-informed, Americans familiar with the intricacies of Nicaraguan politics as well as with the efforts of the State Department to bring about the supervision pledged in the Stimson agreement, there is a distinct feeling that certain Conservatives are seizing upon the proposal as a smoke screen if they themselves did not actually originate it. Chamorro for Washington Parley Questions directed by your correspondent to leaders of the Liberals, pro-Chamorrist Conservatives and anti-Chamorrist Conservatives brought out only one utterance favorable to the project and that was from General Emiliano Chamorro himself. "I think that a conference of the leaders of both parties at Washington would be the best solution of the whole problem," General Chamorro said. Asked about the origin of the so-called compromise plan, General Chamorro said that he had received a telegram from Horace G. Knowles of New York asking his opinion regarding a Washington conference to pick a coalition candidate, but that he had not yet replied. Such telegrams have been addressed to many prominent Nicaraguans of all political blocks. Two such telegrams, signed by Mr. Knowles, have been received from New York and Havana, both dated February 18. Moncada Flatly Rejects Plan General Moncada, "with the backing of the entire Liberal Party behind him now as a result of his nomination by the Leon Convention, declared: 'We can never accept such a proposal.'" "The compromise already has been made and that is the Tipatapa agreement," the leader of last year's revolutionary army—continued. "We but our names to—that compromise, providing for free elections and laid down arms. Under this same agreement the United States promised free elections—which will be the first free elections in the history of this country. "They not only will permit the people to say who they wish to govern them, but will begin the peoples' education in free government. There cannot be a free election if only one candidate is chosen in advance by a committee in Washington." General Moncada added that a coalition government already had been tried in Nicaragua in the election of Solorzano, with Sacasa as vice president, and that General Chamorro himself, had been the one to overturn it by force of arms, thus putting in motion the train of disorders which is continuing to the present day. "That started 'the terrible war' General Moncada concluded, "and we fear a repetition of such an experience might produce a repetition of the consequences." Aim to Embarrass Moncada Soon Americans here who favor the State Department's policy toward Nicaragua regard the proposal as an attempt to put "General Moncada in the position of being the sole man opposing the harmony program for Nicaragua. General Moncada firmly believes that he has an excellent chance of being elected in October. He could not conceivably be chosen as the compromise candidate, since the Conservatives hate him bitterly. These same observers see the proposal as an underhand attack upon the preservation of the shipment. From the point of view that it does my a subordinate artifact would mean American's backing down. Meanwhile General McCoy and Minister Eberhardt are proceeding uninterrupted with the pikes for election. Colonel Francis Le J. Parker of General McCoy's staff is now journeying throughout Nicaragua investigating all conditions affecting the elephants. In the past week he has traveled up into the south north of Matagalpa, where the hudits are active, often accompanied by a marine armed escort. Strong Hope for Election Law The brunt of the fight in the Congress for electoral laws is being carried by Leopoldo Salazar, President of the Sanata. While General Chamorro declares confidently that the so-called McCoy law cannot pass, Salazar has assured your correspondent with equal positiveness that the law would go through after the Congress reconvene on March 5, at the end of the present recess. Senor Salazar is being violently attacked in the Conservative papers as an Aitor to the Conservatives, and they are demanding, that he be expelled from the party. He laughed at this tributy. He has won two important victories against intense opposition in the past few days. One was winning re-election as President of the Senate and the other was forcing through the adjournment, during which the proponents of the McCoy law have an opportunity to try to win over the recalcitrant deputies. Cuadra Pasos, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, led the Nicaraguan delegation at the Havana conference, is expected to return March 2. He is understood still to favor the American program, and Senor Salazar looks to him for powerful support in the five sessions remaining before the Congress finally adjourns. Incidentally, Cuadra Pasos is one of the leading Conservative Presidential possibilities, which may strengthen his reputed pro-American bent. Senor Salazar has made eleven trips to the United States and his children have been educated there. He said today that he was reminding members of the Congress that Central American countries would be only European colonies today if it were not for the United States, with the Monroe Doctrine, and that if Nicaragua could boast it was a free country, it was only because of North America's help. Van Loar Black, the Baltimore publisher who last year chartered a plane of the Royal Dutch Air lines and flow to Batavia and return, with side trips over Europe covering nearly 20,000 miles, is to make another air tour this spring, according to Captain Albert Pleasman, managing director of the company. On or about May 1 Mr. Black will leave Amsterdam in a tri-motored Fokker for Cape Town, South Africa, 8,000 miles away. After a stay in South Africa, which will include extended flights, Mr. Black will turn north and visit Egypt. At Cairo he will decide whether to return to Europe and turn eastward. If weather and other conditions are favorable, Mr. Black may fly through a Minor to India, thence to India China and Hongkong before he returns to Holland. Following his trip, to Java last year, which lasted thirty-nine days, Mr. Block was honored by Queen Wilhelmina of Holland with the Orange Nassau Order. NEW YORK, Feb. 20—Seventeen of men's most primitive aids to travel in ice-bound regions and three of the most modern—a dog team and the airplane—will be used by Commander Richard E. Byrd on his projected expedition to the South Polo. Announcement has been made that Commander Byrd is having a Bellanca monoplane, similar to the Columbia, in which Clarence Chamberlain and Charles Levine flow to Germany, built to add to the tri-motored Fokker and the Fokker Universal, already part of his equipment. And at Monalacan, N.H., three of the seventeen dog-teams he in to take with him are being trained by Arthur T. Walden, who will be his dog chief on the polar dash. A serious problem is seen in the transportation of the dogs through the terrid zones and "special refrigeration" may be necessary to get them to the Antarctica in good condition. 1480 Bible to A four-volume folio Bible printed in 1450 by Adolph Rusch of Strasburg has been added to the rare book collection of the Princeton University library. It was given by an anonymous donor. The only other complete Bible of this edition in cristenco is said to be in the library of the Duke of Suffolk, while two more incomplete copies are in the British Museum, and the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. The four volumes contain 2,418 pages and are bound in the original covers of tooled leather over boards, with bronze bosses protecting the corners and the center. Reindéer Employed MOSCOW. — Book, distributors mounted on rainder have set out for a four months' journey through the Siberian province of Yarkut, a province larger than France, but where travel is only possible along the river. The competition is organised by the Society of Siberian Editors to distribute books to the isolated tribesmen of the area. The party is also blind with a portable moving picture projector and will show the natives the first motion pictures they ever have seen. (Obtained from page 23) one commission by Indian alone they would be compelled to come to terms by the Indians' 'retaliate laws' of the weapon of an economic boycott. A working committee of the Indian Congress is reported to have decided against the proposed campaign for non-payment of taxes. The Congress Party and its allies obtained the defeat in the Legislative Assembly at Delhi today of the new Indian navy discipline bill. This seeks to give effect to the British statute for creation of an Indian navy, but it was rejected, 55 votes to 64, not because the Swarajists had any particular objection to it, but because they wished to be able to put pressure on the Government by refusing to pass it. DELHI, Feb. 21. It was claimed by the Swarajalai that the Naval Discipline bill, which would coner a permanent combatant, status upon the Royal Indian Marine, was intended to enlarge the British navy at the expense of India that led to its defeat today. The defeat took the form of rejection of a motion by G. M. Young, Secretary of the Army-Department, to refer the bill to a select committee. In making his motion Young contended that although only one-third of the vacant, appointments were to be offered to Indians, as soon as the Government became assured that qualified Indians were willing to devote themselves to naval careers an increase in the proportion of vacancies available for them would inevitably follow. The Swaristas are the extreme nationalists in Indian political affairs, professing the ideal of advancement of Indian, culture and commerce, by Indian effort alone rather than with too great aid from Great Britain. London's Judicial Rooms Not Open to Women LONDON. — Women are taking up positions in almost every sphere of life hitherto monopolized by men, but there is one place in the heart of London where no woman is ever allowed. This place is judicial chambers in the law courts. The work is done by former soldiers and during the general clean up preparatory to reopening of the courts this week one of them told an inquilter, "no woman is ever allowed to clean out a judge's room or his library or his court. Not likely." Before the war, the thousands of rooms and four and a half miles of corridors were kept by men only. During the war period a certain number of women were taken on, but these have been reduced to about twenty, and the rest of the work is divided between ninety male workers or ushers as they are called. Even during the war period, women were not allowed to enter the sacred precincts of a judge's room, and the flowers in the vases, the curtains and other little domestic details were all done by the hands of male ushers. British Births Are Falling Below Low Mark of 1927 LONDON, Feb. 25.—Not only was last year's birth rate in England the lowest on record, but the rate is still falling. Detailed figures for the last three months of 1927 show that the birth registered correspond to an annual rate of 15.4 per 10,000, which is 1.3 below that recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. It is the lowest birth rate recorded for any quarter. TESTIMONIAL DINNER AND BANQUET GIVEN IN HONOR OF THE U. N. I. A.

It was erected by that famous dynasty of Caliphs and rebuilt after its destruction by fire on the occasion of the conquest of Damascus by the Mongol hordes of Tamerland. It was then that the once famous craft of Damascene swordmakers came to a tragic end, and never since has Damascus produced its famous swordblade, once the most treasured arm of the Oriental warrior. The mosque of the Omayyad is a typical specimen of Arab religious architecture, writes Edward J. Bing in Current History Magazine, and differs from the Turkish mosques by the absence of the big central cupola. A huge oblong-shaped building with an open court and quadrangular minarets, its plain exterior is likely to mislead the visitor, who, once within the proclivities of the sanctuary, stands dumb-founded with an overwhelming impression of splendor. The halls surrounding the court are of such vast dimensions that they hold several chapels of the daintiest structure, which in themselves are large enough to be temples. The floor is covered throughout with the most luxurious carpets. Both "newspapers, that require no mental effort" and the people who read them were denounced on Sunday last by the Rev. C. Everett Wagner in his sermon on "The Sin or Maziness," at the West Side Methodist Episcopal Church. "The preponderance of these newspapers that require no mental effort or moral atmuma is quite evident," he said. "The impression is gained that though people may be industrious at their jobs, they are indolent in their choice of reading. Testing people by their newspaper reading, a vast majority of them would be rated as infant adults who are feeble minded and degenerate. The readers are to blame, as well as the advertisers and publishers, for the low state of mentality and morality.

Declaring prices of leather used in shoes have increased approximately 25 per cent. in the last twelve months, the statement added: "Just how long this situation will continue, it is impossible to predict, but in the face of these largely augmented prices, manufacturers will find it necessary to get an advance commensurate with the advance in raw materials, and it would appear that retailers throughout, the United States would have to get a corresponding advance." The association attributed the rise in leather prices to a falling off in the general supply of hides and calfskins, accompanied by an increase in demand abroad.

Spanish Section SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 142 West 130th St. Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor El Diario del Comercio de Barranquilla, Columbia, tratando sobre la o conferencia panamericana, dice que las desavenencias se han originado por la aplicación indebida de la palabra intervención en veja de guerra, porque la guerra x la intervención se definen de la misma manaza, la vindicación por medio de la fuerza. La sola diferencia que existe entre una y otra quizas es que la primera acarre, un periodo de ataques y represalias armadas, por el agredido cuenta con medios de defensa, en tanto que se ha dado en llamar intervención el acto de guerra que ejecuta una potencia contra otro país cuya debilidad no le permite la defensa y solo se la permite a título de protesta desesperada. En su último mensaje a los miembros de esta organización su presidente general se expresa del siguiente modo: Me es grato el informaros que nuestra raza a tomado a peseo un nuevo empeño y esta haciendo un nuevo esfuerzo en todas partes para llevar avante la gran causa que la Asociación Universal para el adelanto de la Raza Negra patrocina. Los distintos grupos de nuestro elemento cuentan con un valor de unificación mas celoso que antes, pues jamas se ha visto un despliegue de energias hacia nuestra unidad racial, como la que existe al presente. Todos han llegado al convencimiento de que la unificación de nuestra raza se inapone; de otro modo se veran destruidas todas nuestras esperanzas de emancipación. Pero la diferencia accidental no crea ni debe crear distinas situaciones de derechos y no hay motivo para que se considere un acto belico el que afecta en el menor grado el fundamento de la armonia americana porque una de las contrapartes sea muerta que la otra. Precisamente las conferencias pánamericanas se reunen a base de igualdad moral de los pueblos del Nuevo Mundo, con objeto de que esa igualdad se mantenga amparada con la justicia. Apelo desde luego a todos vosotros, esto es, a todo hombre y mujer negra que se alinie para esta gran poderosa cruzada. Debemos trabajar con alinco para el éxito completo de todos nuestros esfuerzos; y si todos aunamos los medios de que disponemos para tal empresa, no hay duda de que nuestras espanzas se-vean realizadas. La Nacion de Santiago de Chile dice en un editorial: No será posible, con excepción de la convención orgánica de la Unión Panamericana, encontrar en la conferencia de la Habana resoluciones de mayor interés. Que vengan todos los negros en la faz de este planeta a unirse a este movimiento revindicativo y defiendan tesoneramente la causa que sustentamos, haciendo de ello un triunfo de los principios de nuestra organización; que ningun blanco vicioso o negro que funja de tal,ose apartaros de la rectitud y os impida prestar el apoyo que necesita vuestra raza. En el año de 1928 a 1929 debe haber un despertamiento jamas observado anteriormente en el mundo; todos y cada uno de vosquí teneis que tomar parte principalísima en la evolución. Añade que los juicios de la prensa continúal han sido unímeses al respecto. Dice también que la sexta conferencia—no dejará huella muy protunda en el camino de los pales de este hemisferio. Dice que el acta final equivale a la afirmación de los ideales y principios ya consagrados. Respecto del efecto moral de la conferencia sobre el futuro desenvimívolimigo de las relaciones entre las naciones del Nuevo Mundo, dice que no es todavía el momento de apreciarlo. La divisiones y oficiales locales de la organización deben hacer un gran esfuerzo y llevar hacia adelante el gran programa que se nos corrfronta. Espero que cada uno de vosotros hagais todo cuánto podais en este sentido; y si teneis alguna queja, escribide dándome cuenta del mas mínimo detalle, pues es mi determinación el que obtengais el mejor de los servicios, a cambio de vuestra cooperación para servir la causa de Africa. La'Gazetta de Berlin dice que de nuevo probó el dollar el factor Oficiales de las divisiones: permitidme el deciros que sois los liders locales de esta gran causa. Creo en vosotros, confio en vosotros y el pueblo conmigo tiene depositada toda su confianza en vuestras actuaciones... Mantengámonos, por consiguente, unidos y prestemos apoyo decidido a la oficina central en Norte America y al departamento de relaciones exteriores en Jamaica, de acuerdo con las instrucciones ya recibidas. Los reportes de las divisiones deben ser enviados mensualmente a sus respectivas oficinas centrales. En lo que a la próxima convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo respecta, no veo el porque pueda existir excusa alguna para que ella sea en 1929, un acontecimiento que construya una página histórica en los anales de este movimiento civico de nuestra raza. Tengo el convencimiento de que todas las divisiones norteamericanas estarán debidamente representadas, y no menos lo estarán as las divisiones extranjeras. A este fin estamos llamando a las filas a todo nuestro elemento para que asista a este gran acontecimiento, dia apocalíptico en que la voz del negro se dejará oir en todos los ámbitos del globo terráqueo. Todo negro debe luchar y aportar lo mejor de sus energías en pro de la redención africana y una integra emancipación su raza. Vais pues a aportar vuestro óbolo? Seguramente que vuestra respuesta no puede ser no; dentro de toda conciencia lógica contestaréis si. Descansando en esta afirmación, concentremos nuestras miras y laboremos, laboremos y laboremos por la gloriosa causa que estamos empeñados en defender. Nuestro pueblo unido se levantará a la altura de una raza poderosa y pronto ha de dar suficiente prueba de ello. Nuestro empeño nacionalista debe continuar adelante, inculcando en nuestra generación que se levanta lo urgente de llevar a cabo en todas sus actuaciones, una elevación moral hacia las grandes cosas. El Dios de las Alturas que reina allá en los cielos, ha decretado que el negro se levantará a la altura de su prestigio, y hombre entre los hombres llenará su cometido determinado por la Naturaleza misma, sin que haya fuerza terraña que le mantenga relegado y le niegue el puesto que ambicclona. El Gran Arquitecto es nuestro líder y tal como El lo disponga, seguiríamos la zenda que nos senale. Levantad vuestras cabezas, negros del universo; dirigid vuestra vista hacia las immensidades adlerales, poniéndos siempre en comunicación con la Providencia, y que vuestros cepiritus se encaminen a la elevación suprema de la unificación racial emancipadora, que como individuos, como humanos, como raza anhelanlos todos adquirir para bienestar y paz de la humanidad toda. más poderoso y aunque la fronda hispanoamericana hiza una vallepte demostracion, todo se redujo a nada más que un despliegue, de algunos estados tirando en vano de sus cadena. El coloso del norte permanecerá invulnerable por otros cuatro años, hasta que la conferencia de Montevideo se reuna y demuestra si existen algunos medios de contrafarrestar al capital norteamericano. Si lo se拉ra por el capital de las naciones hispanoamericanas unidas o una comunidad de intereses industriales con Europa, es inmaterial en cuanto a los efectos finales concieirne, pero mientras tanto la demostracion de la Habana no lo hizo. El Frendenblatt de Hamburgo, sin embargo, que cre los resultados obtenidos no justifican que se hable de fracaso, agregando que el panamericanismo no es necesariamente un enemigo perpetuo del iberoamericanismo y que el uno necesita del otro. * Al juzgar la acción de los Estados Unidos en Centro América, dice que es de justicia sean.tomados en cuentas las condiciones económicas y.los distribuciones politicos en esa region. El senador, King ha propuesto que el comité de Relaciones Exteriores del Senador conduza una investigación de la ocupación por los Estados Unidos de Haiti, basándose para su petición en las acusaciones hechas de que los Estados Unidos se habian apoderado de Haiti sin causa que lo justificara, así como también suprimieron los derechos constitucionales de los haitianos y pretentieron elegir presidente al senor Borno, declarar el senador King al pedir al investigación. El senador declaró que el comité que condujese la investigación debia de informar al Senado sobre el mejor medio que creía conveniente para llevar a cabo una retirada rápida de las fuerzas yanquis de Haiti, ofreciendo así una oportunidad a los nativos de la isla para que designasen libremente el gobierno que fusese de su agrado. El senador King no pudo entrar el año pasado en Haiti, cuando trataba de desembarcar en aquella isla, por orden expresa del presidente Borno. Japan Has 706,536 Births in 3 Months TOKIO—The population of Japan Proper this year will increase practically 1,500,000, if the excess of births over deaths for the rest of the year equals the phenomonal record made in the three months of January, February and March, the figures for which have been made public by the statisticians of the Home Department. In those three months there were 708,388 babies born, while the total number of deaths were 825,248, leaving the net increase in population 882. The net increase in population is cent bigger than in 1938, which year showed up to then the greatest net increase in population in Japan in its history. The increase for the first quarter of this year is greater than the increase for any entire year up to 1900. The net increase of 943,671 in population, last year, and the astonishing figures for the first quarter of this year have started a discussion of birth control as one means of holding the population down to the food, production point, and it is interesting to note that while three years ago any new birth control was decided to be illegal, now many high officials are discussing and advancing it, including Ichiro Hiroyama, chief secretary of the Cabinet. Prot. Takakuki, of the Tokio Womens's College, in an interview, says "while birth control is not ethically wrong it is wrong, from the standpoint of the State, as those who have had sex in classes in every country, leaving the loss fit to breed without restraint and thus lowering the national average. Expert Says Red Spider Kills Park Trees James A. G. Davey, tree expert, who a number of Reck's ago volunteered his services when Commissioner Hergick announced his program of park rehabilitation, is carying on the work of saving Central Park's trees during the absence of the commissioner. He says that the red spider is rapidly turning Manhattan's playground into a desert and that much time and money must be spent in eradicating this pest. He said that the city had had to uproot and cart away more than one thousand trees that had died in recent months and that that work had cost about $40,000. He says that the cost of preventing the destruction of trees by insects would be much cheaper and certainly would add to the appearance of the park. Mr. Davey states that the presence of so many dead-leaved trees in the park is not due to the season or to the city's gases, but entirely to the red spider, which has got a strong hold upon them.

The saving movement, known as the Postal Savings Box, is to appeal to the working class, whose salaries are low and who have difficulty laying aside their money for bank accounts, which require high capital to start. Under the provisions, stamps which already have been printed for the express purpose may be purchased for as little as five cents or, as much as the investor feels like placing, according to Cosmo Hinojose, postmaster general. We will be available to current interest for savings banks will be paid each investor, it is said, so with a small amount of invested capital the worker will be earning a just return. The stamps also may be redeemed at any desired time, say postal authorities. The thrift movement is regarded very significantly, especially in view of the present economic situation, and the government is extremely anxious to inculcate a savings spirit in the lower classes, who are not accustomed to retain money. World Study of Leprosy Will Centre in Brazil GENEVA. — Leprosy does not hold the same torrors for the Orient as the Occident and in Far Eastern countries there is not the same girllet isolation of patients that is found in Western lands. Desiring more information concerning this mysterious and dreaded disease, the Health Committee of the League of Nations will establish in Brazil an international center for the scientific study of leprosy in collaboration with the health authorities of that country. "This disease," says a Los Angeles communique, "is a very real problem in Latin America, but its very mature makes it unsuitable for 'international investigations so far as regards administrative measures to prevent its spread. Such measures are of international concern only, in the case of epidemic diseases, and leprosy, although contagious, in hardly infectious in this sense. On the other hand, a number of problems connected with its spread and treatment are obscure and require scientific study. It is for this purpose, that the international center is to be established in Brazil."
