FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: In another couple of days the eyes of the civilized world will be turned toward Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., where the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World will be assembled. Searching for the expression of the new Negro's sentiment as touching his attitude in a wounded world, a world that has been stirred to its greatest depth in the search that is being made by the races and nations for a place of safety and protection, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has called together the representatives of the four hundred million Negroes of the world to have them decide now and forever the status of the entire race: whether we shall go backward, remain stagnant or unitedly face the world with a program of self-improvement. resentatives of the Negro peoples of the world at Edelweis Park, Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., will give out a program that will change now and forever the position of the Negro in the affairs of the world. We want action during the month of August, and we are going to have it. We will have it because the delegates who will assemble here during the convention will be men and women of fearless character, who are not afraid of the criticism of others, but who have self-conviction, and that conviction shall express itself without fear. Everybody at Edelweis Park Every road will lead to Edelweis on Thursday, the 1st of August, when, at 8:30 o'clock in the evening, the delegates will assemble en masse to listen to the official declarations and keynote expressions of the convention. August 1 will be celebrated all over the world as an international holiday for Negroes in the West Indies, Africa, South and Central America and in North America and Canada. We will celebrate the day with gladness because it opens up a new era of our racial existence. Unite Our Forces Let us unite our forces as never before and get behind the Fourth Annual Intrnational Convention. Let us support the Universal Negro Improvement Association by carrying out its program during the month of August, so that, when we adjourn, a new chapter will have already been written in the history of our race. As has been stated before, we are looking forward to 1929 and 1930 as the biggest years in the history of our great movement, and we have cause to be glad at this time for the success that has attended our efforts. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now known throughout the world. Men, races and nations are watching us, and surely we shall acquit ourselves at this convention as real representatives of the people. We ask the financial and moral support of the race all over the world. Those who cannot attend the convention should send to the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all the financial help they can. Members should bestir themselves, working to make the whole program successful. We should apply to work, and work hard, to make it possible to make U.N.I.A. Has Called Together Representatives of 400,000,- 000 Negroes From All Over The World To Determine Now And Forever The Status of the Entire Race Delegates Serj WHAT minded, Fearless And Determined—For Africa's Redemption There is No Stepping Back—But One Duty— Forward Facing Any Opposition—Facing Even the Legions of Hell—Must Be Decision of Every Negro We Must Work for Negro Freedom and Uplift African Redemption, and Justice to All Mankind, Says President-General The Enemies at Work Enemies of our race have flung their nets far and wide, but what do we care about the enemies, if we keep our eyes on the star of African destiny? Care not what the enemy says; care not what the enemy does; fight your battle and yield not, falter not; but keep your mind firm and victory is bound to perch upon our banner, the glorious banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. Men and women, there is no stepping or moving back for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is but one duty, and that is to go forward facing any opposition, go forward facing even the legions of hell, but go forward. Let that be the inspiring determination of every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of the Negro race. They Shall Not Pass As the Allies through their unified command determined during the World War that the enemy should not pass, so we repeat that "the enemy shall not pass." They shall pass only when every black man has passed away from the face of the earth, but until then the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall fight on and on until we have planted the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green on the four pillars of liberty. Those who think they can thwart and defeat the plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we say so them, come on and you will see a race fight as never before. We have Africa united in the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have the West Indies, South and Central America and the United States of America united in the one spirit that the Negro shall be free, come weal, come woe, and so we assemble ourselves during this month to lay down the sacred principles upon which we shall climb and be guided, the principles of human love, of justice, of fellowship to all men. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do not desire to be unfair and unjust to either individuals, races or nations. All that we ask is for a square deal, and for that we shall agitate, for that we shall fight. During the month of August in our convention we shall let our voices be heard throughout the four corners of the world. We will let it be known that the Negro is still alive. England, France, Italy and the rest of them shall know that the Negro is now making his demand for the return of his native land. Cowardly Negroes may cringe and bow before what they think to be superior powers, but we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall never bow. We shall fight for the cause of African redemption because we believe it just. Independence For Negroes If it is just for the Englishmen to be free; if it is just for Frenchmen to be free, then it will be just for black men to be free in the land of their fathers. Therefore, there is no compromise; there is no apology for what we have said and done. We are making a fight for freedom and for democracy; so let us enter into the spirit of the 1929 convention as real men. Let us remember that it takes manhood and backbone to win the battle of life, and such manhood and backbone we want in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in the Negro race. Let every one rally around the Universal Negro Improvement Association during the month of August. Let every one give whatsoever financial and moral support possible, and then we shall feel sure that the program can be put over. Thanking you for the support you have given in the past, and feeling sure of its continuance, with very best wishes, I have the honor to be ngines on Way to Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World Stir Hearers to High Pitch of Enthusiasm-Tell of Their Determination To Hold up the Hands of the Hon.

Y. (Oct. 18th past and Madison gown.) Sunday afternoon, July 20th, 1899.—In like with the announcements given out for an improve men's meeting there was quite a gathering of the faithfuls and their friends at the Commonwealth Union, the opening, when the regular Friday shift men's meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the auspices of the Garvey Club was held. Friends come from far and near, and when the time for the opening of the meeting arrived the hall was fully crowded. Many and faint were reception among the audience, who gathered to bid farewell to an army group of the delegates on the way to take part in the deliberations of the sixth International Convention of the Negro People's of the World. vice of administration run large and higher and higher, as delegate, after delegate, on being announced by the chairman, come to the platform and expressed their determination to follow the cause of the University Negro Improvement Association to the very end; and to hold up the hands of the President-General, the Jim.

The audience was regaled with the sweet strains of music by the band, under the direction of Prof. Ulrick Hassall, and the U. A. Legion, under command of Col. J. W. Pellamy, and Lt.-Col. J. M. Robinson (who is also a delegate to the convention) the Black Cross Nurses, the Motor Corps, and the Junior Cadet Corps, did much to add to the attractiveness of the evening's meeting. Owing to there being so many delegates to be presented, the speakers had to be limited in their addresses, but they rose to the occasion in the short time allotted them, and carried conviction to the hearts of their hearts. Hon. Betty Lyle of Washington, in her calm, deliberate and most manner won the hearts of the friends and members in the audience, and it seemed as if a new spirit had been born among those who sat and listened to the expressions of faithfulness and loyalty to the cause, by this mild-mannered daughter of Ethiopia. Hon. Capt. Alloyne, of the Legions, and Hey. William Cunningham, also delegates from the Garvey Club, Inc., were given a roaring reception. It was also farewell for Mr. Cunningham, who leaves, Tuesday for the Isle of Springs in the blue Caribbean. Hon. A. J. Johnson, president of the Bt. Louis, Mo. division, was introduced by the chairman, as the speaker of the evening. Mr. Johnson told of the pleasure it gave him to be present at a meeting of this kind, to help advance the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for the uplift of the race, and the redemption of the fatherland. It was rather a surprise, he said, to have to be announced as the speaker of the hour. He had not expected any such honored place, and had not come prepared to make the speech of the occasion; but as a soldier in the cause Afric, he said, behood him to be always ready to meet any and all emergencies, that the work of this great association may not want for a man to stand up for it. Then he began to tell of the greetings he had brought to the friends and members of the Garvey Club, Inc., from the co-workers in the various towns and cities through which he had passed on his way to New York. He told of the growing respect that was being accorded to the U. N. I. A., and of the effect it had on those who once would not concede to the Negro the right of manhood. He then warmed up to his address and kept the interest and enthusiasm of the audience Riding higher and higher as the moments passed by, and when, at the close he wished "him Good-bye," the crowd gave vent to its pent up feelings, in a loud wave of applause. After the announcements, and the offering the meeting came to a close Hair responsible for dull, lifeless, un- me that way. Mme. C. J.

For Justice to Negro, Not Social Equality SYLVANIA, Ga., July 4 (AP).—Representative Charles G. Edwards, Democrat, of the First Georgia District, in an address here today declared the negro should continue to have "justice, fair play and equality before the law," but "there should never be anything like social equality of the whites and blacks." Mr. Edwards, while delivering an address at the unveiling of a memorial on the site of the Battle of Briar Creek, referred to the entertaining of the wife of Representative Oscar De Prieur of Illinois at the White House, and declared, "the horrible mistake of encouraging and practicing social equality of the blacks and whites, who must live side by side." This country, is more unfortunate than can be imagined, and does a greater harm to the black man than be ever dreams of." "This country must not only be protected against the hordes of undesirable immigrants who would not make good citizens," he said, "but it must go on its course as a white man's country, and the great dominant white race, proud of its unblemished blood for thousands of years, will not tolerate social equality, even in high places, without giving the rebuke."

Man And The Machine Of and on during the dawn since the end of the World War criticism meant the mechanisation of American industry keep come with increasing vigor from many Negro leaders. Their leaders assert that the introduction of labor saving devices into our process of wealth projection carry in their wake useful hardships for the Negro worker in particular; that the machine increasingly produces the number of workers performing a given task and at the same time increases output; that employment gains the machine, and that the Negro worker is always hardest hit by the end of unemployment. Granting the above to be true, it seems to me however, that the hands for criticism rest not so much upon the machine as a substitute for human tell, but upon the fact that in our present universal system the machine which continually should be a blessing to mankind turns out to be a curse. In the down of a man's antiquity certain immutable laws of life have been established. 1. Man cannot live without food, food clothing and shelter. 2. He cannot live well without books, homes, pictures, music, literature, gardens, places of pleasure and means to transport himself and his belongings, together with the leisure for their enjoyment. Nature has provided in abundance—certainly here in the United States—the raw materials out of which the skill and industry of the workers may provide all these things, and the great improvements of modern industry have so increased the productive power of the workers that, today abundance for all can be produced and the working day so shortened that there will be ample leisure for all. But the hands, tools, factories, storehouses and transportation lines are legally owned by a comparatively few individuals, and the many can use none of these things without the consent of the few who are legal owners. Moreover, the legal owners do not consent that the workers shall use either the nature resources or the tools of industry unless control and ownership remain in the hands of said legal owners. These owners can refuse employment to any particular worker for the latter has no legal right to the natural resources of the land nor to the tools of production, and, his inalienable right to life, liberty and happiness is lost right of bends. His employer's legal right of ownership and control of these socially necessary but privately owned instruments. A child born in the family of the legal owner may inherit productive property, and through this private ownership of the land and machines which others must use, he is also born to be their master as surely as they are born to be his servants. This does not materially affect the rule. This results in piling up great wealth for the few who create no wealth, and great poverty for the many—the workers—who create all wealth. Thus, on the one hand we have a few people basking on the pinnacles of opulence and idleness, and on the other the many groping in the abysmal pits of poverty and toll. By virtue of their ownership of the natural resources and instruments of wealth production the few exercise upon governments, the press, the pulpit and the schools undue influence, and are able thereby to reduce the worker to a state of intellectual, physical and social inferiority, political subservency and virtual slavery. Hemmed in thus the worker through the instrumentality of his trade union organization strives for a voice in determining how many hours he shall work, how much he shall turn out, how much he shall receive in wages for his labor, and lastly, who shall be employed. In the absence of labor organization employers arbitrarily decide these questions to the disadvantage of the workers. Intelligent workers also strive to effect their own political organizations. Time was when the Negro worker functioning largely in an agrarian world and in the personal service class could not so readily establish labor THE organizations to add him in his struggle for existence. Today, however, due to the mechanization process, the农机 worker is usually being called 1 into industry. The simple agricultural life of the past afforded the Negro an opportunity to establish powerful fraternal and religious organizations; many of these institutions are still useful, and may under competent, unselfish leadership yet serve as a basis for fundamental, cooperative economic action. It should be to be a positive easily recognized by our hiring that the trade understanding the firm works today is not one of technical opposition to the inevitable mechanization of industry, but the establishment of trade union and cooperative organizations through which like other workers, he can reduce his working hours, increase wages and generally increase some degree of control over his job, his life and the machine. Eventually an oriented society of useful workers will take over and collectively manage and operate for service instead of for private profits these mechanical giants of production and distribution; and by so doing transform the machine from an alleged enemy of the worker to man's natural benefactor. I chafe for the day. Colored Population of North Flatte Ordered to Leave After Publican is Slain (By The Associated Press) NORTH PLATTE, Neb., July 13. —Negroes here began leaving North Platte by automobile, trains and other conveyances this afternoon as a result of threats by a mob which formed after Edward Green, a policeman, had been shot and killed by Louis Seelman, a Negro. Seelman later shot and killed himself, but the mob that formed at his home retained its formation despite efforts of police to break it up. Threats of violence were heard as members of the mob shouted orders to Negroes to leave town at once. Some of them left on foot. The shooting grew out of an attempt by Green to arrest Seelman, who had previously been ordered to leave town in lieu of paying a $100 fine for beating Ada Miller, a Negress with whom he lived. He went to Agalliah and came back this morning. The woman then notified the police, and Green and another officer went to arrest him. Green was shot with a sawed on shotgun as he entered Seelman's room. Patrolman Fitzgibbons, who accompanied him, was unarmed. He gave an alarm downstairs and stood watching the front of the house. Help came, and when Seelman refused to come out a gasoline fire was set around it. Later, Seelman could not be found. Finally he was discovered under a trap door. Again he refused to come out of the small basement room and gasoline was poured over the trap door. Seelman then shot himself as the flames began to creep about him. He died while being carried out of the house. The mob outside the house grew with the passing of the hours. Sticks were wielded. Police immediately swore in extra men and patrolled the Negro district. They estimated there were about 200 Negroes in the city before they started their outward trek. The Negroes also were guarded on their departure. Ada Miller left by automobile for Council Bluffs, police said. Other Negroes said they were bound for Kearney, Neb.; Julesburg Col.; Denver and Omaha. Green was a popular policeman here. He had served on the force for five years as a patrolman and also as acting chief. Hot Weather Hints Drink plenty of water, cold milk, lemonade and iodized tea with plenty of lemon juice in it. Yes, even iodized tea will be a healthful beverage when it is well flavored with lemon. Eat plenty of fresh, green vegetables and fresh ripe fruits—raw, in salad form, in fruit cups, in light desserts or any way in which they may be relished. Be very partial to oranges. They serve the body with an abundance of liquid and tend to reduce or prevent acidity that may come from the overeating of heavy acid-producing foods. Eat plenty of berries—wild and tame. Feature lettuce, ester, cabbage, carrot, string beans and greens of all kinds. Get plenty of sleep; have your windows open wide at night; take a daily bath; exercise. Do these things and you need not worry about what the hot weather will do to you. Chelsea Exchange Opens New Harlem Branch Quarters With 20,000 Depositors Election of Aboona in Empire Marked by Scene of Medieval Pomp ADDIS - ABABA. Abyasinia, July 11.—(Special)—Amid scenes of medieval pomp and color, Ethiopia, the oldest Christian empire in Africa, has elected a new patriarch, or aboona as spiritual leader of 3,000,000 Ethiopians. Abyasinia has been without an aboona since the death of Aboona Matheos in December, 1926, which was followed closely by the death of the patriarch in Egypt. Election of the Egyptian patriarch took considerable time, pending which the appointment of a new aboona was in abjuration. Under Egypt's Patriarch Although Abyssinia is politically an independent state, the patriarch of Egypt holds religious jurisdiction Chelsea Exchange Harlem Bran With 20,000 Completion of plans to meet the growing demand for banking service among the Negro population of Harlem were celebrated two weeks ago with the opening of spacious quarters for the Harlem Branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank at 185th street and Seventh avenue. This site is diagonally opposite the quarters occupied by the bank during the seventeen years that it has been keeping pace with the growth and business prosperity of that section. The new Harlem branch will be installed in the most up-to-date and tastefully decorated quarters occupied by any bank in that section of the city. These new quarters will give the branch approximately twice the floor space that it has been occupying across the street and give room for the conduct of activities which were either impossible or much restricted in the old quarters. A STUDENTS SOUTH MAKE STUDY OF RACE RELATIONS ATLANTA. Ga., July 1.—During the month of June representatives of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation carried the message of inter-racial good will personally to more than a thousand young white men and women assembled in summer conferences from the colleges and high schools of all the Southern states. At the joint Y. M. C. A. and W. Y. C. A. Student Conference at Hollister, Mo. Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames, director of woman's work of the Inter-racial Commission, conducted a discussion group on race relations and made a public address. Observers report that she completely won the young people to an intelligent and sympathetic viewpoint on this subject. Similar work was done at the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference at Blue Ridge, N. C. by P. E. Elazer, educational director of the commission, who led fifty students in an eight-day discussion course on the subject, and also addressed the entire body of students, secretaries and leaders. Following this he conducted a similar course at the Girl Reserve Camp at Brevard, where there were 150 picked representatives from high schools throughout the entire Southeast. At the Y. M. C. A. Student Conference at Blue Ridge, Dr. W. W. Alexander, the commission's director general, led a group in a series of studies of the inter-racial situation. Among the matters brought with special force to the attention of the young people at the several conferences were such outstanding injustices as lynching, discrimination in school facilities and other public advantages, arbitrary denial of citizenship rights, and inhumane and inconsiderate attitudes. Co-operation with the growing movement for interracial justice was urged as the duty of all intelligent, fair-minded people. At all these conferences colored fraternal delegates were present and took part on the program. A fine spirit was manifested by all concerts, and permanent results are consistently expected. Leaders in the effort for better inter-racial adjustment in the fourth floor that so many School over the Greek Orthodox population of Ethiopia, and confine the question of the abuses, who must be subject of King Fund of Egypt. As soon, however, as the Egyptian patriarch, Johannes XII, was elected, the Algerian government sent to Egypt, Sabie Bodoum, minister of education and the arts, to discuss unofficially the question of the appointment of the new abome. Winston Alabos. In Abyssinia a considerable body think it essential the aboona should no longer be an Egyptian, but an Abyssinian, and that further Abyssinian bishops should be appointed. On the other hand, the Greek Orthodox Church of Egypt, otherwise known as the Copt Church, considers it essential the aboona should be an Egyptian. Further, the Egyptians are opposed to appointing Abyssinian bishops, since following the laws of the church, three bishops can consecrate an aboona. This difference of opinion has been solved by mutual concessions between the two governments. Hereafter the aboona shall as in the past be an Egyptian. On the other hand, five Abyssinian bishops are to be appointed, but they are to obey the orders of the aboona and further to swear they will not consecrate an aboona or king under pain of excommunication.

E. S. Rothchild, president of the Chelsea Exchange Bank, was on hand to direct the opening of the new quarters. Charles G. Rapp, vice president, who has been in charge of the Harlem branch since its opening seventeen years ago, will continue to direct its affairs in the new quarters. The Chelsea Exchange operates six banking offices in various parts of the city. Mr. Rothchild regards the expansion of the bank's facilities as a tribute to the thriftiness of the Negro race in Harlem. All funds, securities and records of the Harlem branch were moved over the week-end in accordance with a well laid plan. The branch starts in its new quarters with 20,000 accounts on its books. Instructors of State School Studying At Universities Plan Big Fall Building Program MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 13. The Alabama State Normal system which has the largest enrollment of summer teachers of any Negro institution in the country, is represented by eleven of its instructors studying in some of the leading institutions this summer to meet the needs of a rapidly developing program which will be greatly stimulated this fall by a building program that will involve the expenditure of over $500,000.

Every item was a credit. The pro- gram comprised instrumental solos, recitations, duets and vocal soles. The recitation entitled, "Lift Up the Black Man's Burden," by Miss Jennie Roberts was the climax. The president strove hard to impress upon the audience and especially the students the necessity to be the best individual in business, the professions, leadership, society and citizenship. Mrs. Margaret Gibson, lady president, acted as mistress of ceremonies in very fine style. Two persons applied for membership. The Ethiopian Anthem and Benediction brought the meeting to a close. 41 Graduate From Athens High School ATHENS, Ga., July 1.--Before an audience of nearly a thousand, including many of the city's most prominent people, white and colored, the student body of Athens High and Industrial School rendered a commencement program of unusual interest, at which diplomas were conferred upon forty-one graduates in the various departments. In addition to many delightful musical numbers, excellent orations were delivered by two of the graduates, Miss Mittle E. Howard and Ernest C. Cobb. Many prizes were awarded for excellence in various subjects. The commencement address was delivered by R. B. Eleaner, of Atlanta, who spoke on "Co-operation, Not Conflict: the Law of Progress." The school under the direction of Prof. S. F. Harris, has developed into an institution of high grade and large importance, with an annual enrollment of 930, including the summer term. In the latter the University of Georgia, located in the same city, lends its co-operation, nine of the university professors teaching in the summer school and giving courses which are accepted for credit by the state department of education. The co-operation of the university has been of incalculable value, according to Prof. Harris, and is very greatly appreciated.

Death, the unwelcome guest that visits every home, has made its presence felt in our midst. We have lost a loyal member in the person of Mr. Robert Bust, one that was always at his post of duty and always willing to do what he could for the upbuilding of Africa. Mr. Bust served two years as chapain under President S. T. J. Moore, and as vice president at the time of President Herbert Hayes, on June 2, 1928. He fought a good fight. He has kept the faith, he finished his course, and now we are ready to go the Black Cross nurse. We wrap him in the red, black and the green. Ex-President S. T. J. Moore lay him to rest of his labor.

Brilliant Young Writer Graphically Tells of The Yearnings of One Section of Great Race of Negroes—Calls Attention to The Benefits of Mental Freedom Needs of United Race Negror: Abrood Are Determined Along With Their Brothers at Home That Africa Must Be Free By Ernest Schutterbrandt Donations to the Negro World "Why America's motto, has awakened the West Indian Negro to the call of African nationalism." "Africa, her motherland, must be freed from oppression if the Negro or black race must live on and on." We, as West Indians, are an ambitious, law-abiding and race-loving people; and are self conscious to the fact that when an idea is entertained within the mind, the possibilities of that thing becoming a manifestation is without question. The law of cause and effect operates in all things correspondently, whether organic or inorganic. And since human beings are the highest type of animals, controlled by common sense and not instinct, they naturally become more conscious to the recognition of that law, regardless of creed, color or nationality. That law eventually becomes a yearning for justice, freedom; liberty; and the pursuit of happiness, within the human development. And believe me, if that yearning for civilized happiness is imposed upon, I'll say: "Watch out, Mr. Oppressor, you have a job you will not be able to master." For oppression to a race on account of color, is simply debarring your own progress to further civilization. And it so exists that in this present day civilization, the Negro or Black race is oppressed, in which race the West Indian is included with no less consideration. Nevertheless we ask no consideration, no long as our brothers at home and abroad are oppressed; for we have realised that we are descendants of one man and determined to have one God, endeavoring towards one aim, and can have but one Destiny. We West Indians leave our abhores in quest for higher knowledge, and bigger opportunities, with the intention of expanding our ambition, to further civilisation, with the product of our visions. AT GULFSIDE CLANS GATHER WORK AND PLAY AT GULFSIDE CLANS GATHER WORK AND PLAY WAVELAND, Miss., July — Among the interesting features last month at Bishop Jones' Gulfside summer conference center was a social work institute, headed by Forrester B. Washington, director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, which was attended by more than twenty professional and volunteer social workers from New Orleans and other towns in Louisiana and Mississippi. Other members of the faculty were Dean S. Yarbrough, director of social science of the Atlanta school; Miss V. G. Harrison, director of People's Community Center, New Orleans, and C. K. Stalnaker, director of Williams Community Center in the same city. The institute was considered so successful that plans are being made for a more ambitious effort next summer Simultaneously an institute on health and home economics was being carried on, in which the principal speaker was Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the Rockefeller Foundation. Other leaders in this institute were Prof. Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute; Elmer A. Carter, editor of "Opportunity," and Dean S. Yarbrough. Uffside is the most important institution of its kind for Negroes in the United States, and the only one in the South. Possessing a large acreage with a very fine beach and a number of good buildings, it is every summer the center of important religious, social and recreational activities for colored people, to millions of whom it is accessible by a few hours' travel by train or automobile. Bishop Jones and the Gulfside Association have been assisted in the development of the institution by some of the big philanthropic agencies which have recognized its great possibilities. For July Weather But unfortunately, and yet fortunately, the scope of conditions we encountered in America, has called our ambition to build; but fortunately also, it has awakened in us the dire necessity of building up, and fighting for the redemption of our Motherland, Africa. Africa calls us! Africa, our own and richest country in the world, where we will be free to exercise our visions according to the urge within, and not blocked by the oppressive hand of discrimination, hatred, and envy of our white brothers. There we can build and claim mastership, in any art, science, or branch of industry, and prolong civilized happiness for our generations yet to come. One of America's great mottoes: "America, the land of the free and the home of the brave," nerves us on in the quest for freedom. Yes, most decidedly, it is a land of freedom; for it frees the mind of the West Indian Negro from superstition, selfishness, class prejudice, and old custom; and habit ideas. All those mental shadows veiled his mind due to the deception of the white man's psychology. Yes, most decidedly, it is the home of the brave; because it has inspired him, more than any other part of the world, to the realization of the necessity of racial consciousness, to be brave and fight for his freedom, through the opposition, hatred, and discrimination, he encountered in this great America. And now that he has been charged up through the great motto: "America, the land of the free and the home of the brave," he is determined to use America's deception for his own future benefit, in blasting through the gates of Hell; and claiming victory and true to goodness freedom.

Grundy, Indiana Agent, Leads Contest We are pleased to publish herewith the picture of Mr. E. Grundy, of 730 N. California St., Indianapolis, Indiana, who is the leader of the NEGRO WORLD subscription contest for this week. Mr. Grundy is an indefatigable worker, who spares no pain when it comes to going after subscriptions for the Negro World. Long may he continue to hold the lead, and to hold up the banner of DePriest Fu Southern Democrats White House for En WASHINGTON. — Southern Democ crats are "pawing the air" in a furore over the presence of Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of Chicago's colored House member, at a White House tea, last June. Southern members of both houses are denouncing it as an acknowledgment of social equality between the two races. The White House points out that the function which Mrs. De Priest attended was the last of a series of similar affairs given by Mrs. Hoover to the wives of Representatives and that more than 100 guests were invited. This has failed to modify the southerners who are at white heat as a result of the statement attributed to Representative De Priest. "I am delighted beyond measure at the fine social contacts my wife was able to make at the White House," asserted De Priest, "and that there was no tendency whatever toward discrimination against her at the tea. She greatly enjoyed herself and is greatly delighted." "I deplore the incident beyond measure," declared Senator Sheppard Democrat, Texas, author of the Eighteenth Amendment. "It is recognition of social equality between the white and the black races and is fraught with infinite danger to our white civilization." "I deplore the incident very much," said Senator Nellie, Democrat, Alabama, who was a Hoover campaigner. "It was a serious mistake. Roosevelt made the same mistake in a different way but I understand that SPELMAN PRESIDENT GRADUATE ATLANTA, Ga., July 1.—Miss Florence M. Read, president of Spelman College, this city, was the recipient a few days ago of a distinguished honor when her alma mater, Mount Holyoke College, located at South Hadley, Mass., conferred on her the honorary degree of doctor of letters. Miss Read received her bachelor of arts degree from Mount Holyoke, in 1909, and in recognition of distinguished scholarship was elected to Peace an Impossibility With Previous Wrongs — Africa Must Be Restored to Rightful Owners All of this discussion about the disarmament of the strong nations of the world, without any reference, whatsoever, to the disposition of Africa, is meaningless chatter. They are simply trying to fool each other. We are wise to their game, and do not intend to be caught "napping"—the next time. If those thieves and robbers do not give us back our birthright, we are going to raise so much hell with "somebody," that they will have to hold a "re-armament" conference—just like they are now doing in secret. No one wants peace any more than the poor over-worked blacks, but such a peace is an impossibility without the adjustment of previous wrongs. Somebody is in our home—without permission—and we want them to vacate! Peacefully, if they will; or be driven out, if needs be. This is our ultimatum to the DM-ARMAMENT ENTHUSIASTS. Those of us in America, want Africa restored; those of us in the West India, want Africa restored; those of us in South and Central America, want Africa restored; and most certainly do those in Africa, want Africa restored to its rightful OWNERS. The time for a lawful settlement is at hand, and daily authorized COLLECTORS are to be sent to Gwennu in October to negotiate the deal. So we suggest that they (the Persons) propose to "disarm" some of their all-gather wealth and heat. New rules are to govern our relationship, nationally and internationally, after the rising of the South International Convention of the Negro English, to be held at Kingston, Jamaica, R. W. T.

Called "Dandurably" "It is an deplorable as it is outounding," said Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi. "If there is one thing the people of the South look on with grave concern and anxiety, it is any tendency toward sexual equality between the races." Immediate effects of the student are expected Tuesday when a "Mover Democratic" convention, called by Bishop James Cummon, Jr., spoke in Ranooke, Va., to name independent candidates for State office. Whether the bishop, who is generally believed to be an aspirant for either the Governorship or the Senatorial terms of Senator Glenn, can hold the battles from bolting back into the old party now that the race issue has been raised is problematical. TENNESSEE TOWN HELP DISAPPROVAL KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Local leaders are giving generous expressions to their disapproval of the social recognition accorded by the White House to the wife of the Chicago Negro Representative, De Priest. Following the White House affair publication was made of the fact that Representative De Priest has been invited by Mayor Fowler to speak here the 24th inst. A similar invitation has been extended by Mayor Buzz of Chattanooga. IDENT HONGRED TE IN SOCIAL WORK memberhip in the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. After graduation she served as alumnae secretary at Mount Holyoke, and was hired to the secretaryship of the College at Portland, Ore. Later she became secretary of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, from which position she was elected to the presidency of Spelman College in 1927. It is understood that the honorary degree recently conferred was in no small measure a recognition of the exceptional ability which Miss Read has shown in the administration of Spelman's affairs. GRADUATES IN SOCIAL WORK ATLANTA, Ga., July 1.—At the recent commencement exercises of the Atlanta School of Social Work diplomas were awarded to Nelson Crews Jackson and John Quinten Jefferson. These are the first male graduates of the school and the first to finish the new two-year course. The commencement address was delivered by Charles S. Johnson, director of the social science department of Fisk University. A novel feature of the program was the presentation by the pupils of a play written by Miss Ernestine McGill, one of the teachers. ```markdown ``` --- It is more than a shame that we, in this locality have not thought of owning any of the things that are vital to the inhabitants of any township. We seem to have forgotten that the progress and prosperity of any community depends upon how much is held by its dwellers. Upon how large a share of the real and other wealth in that neighborhood is controlled by them. The time has come when the Negro dwellers of Harlem must wake up; must rise out of the slumber which has enshrouded our eyes, and begin to realize that our worth, our standing will be dependent largely upon what we own in the community, and how much of its industries or enterprises we control. There is no time like the present. As long as we continue to be mainly rent-payers and lease-holders we shall continue to have less of the respect of our fellows than we ought to have. And we can rant and spout as much as we like the fact remains, that as long as we are content to remain subjected to the whims and caprices of landlords, and other business men who control the destiny of the section, we will not be respected as we ought to be. We must start somewhere, and earn respect, then we can command respect. Why should Negro dollars always go to fatten the pockets of those who are in no way interested in us, except to gouge us? Is this a confession of inability on our part? Is it a confession of our being too lazy to think for our own betterment? Is it a demonstration of the unfitness of the Negro to survive, and to hold his place among other men? THINK. Fellow-men, think! Then ACT.

THE GATHERING OF THE CLANS IN A FEW short days hence the eyes of Negroes all over the world will be focused upon the city of Kingston, in the island of Jamaica, British West Indies; for there will be gathered the largest and most impeding array of Negro delegates that have ever assembled in the history of the race. DESTINY and WILL By R. T. BROWN We are the creatures of our wills, no matter how much we say to the contrary. We make or break ourselves. Our thoughts, our acts make life worth living, or make it sad, discomplicate, hopeless and dejected. We are not the creatures of destiny, as some no stoutly believe, bound to live our lives according to a schedule that was set before the worlds were formed. Not mere pawns in the hands of Pate, to be toyed with at will. We are not more driftwood on the sea of time, at the mercy of the winds and waves: or chaff before the wind, to be blown in every direction, without a voice in the direction or control of our affairs. In making this statement we take opposition to some learned writers of a past day; but experience in millions of cases has demonstrated the fact that we are right. Representatives from every corner of the globe where Negroes live are expected to meet in this gathering of the clans; and like as the Scottish highlanders in days gone by, when a large and important meeting took place, the men who met there were of stern souls, and high purpose, determined too that nothing short of death was going to prevent them from carrying out the reforms which they were bent on envising. They come from Africa, east, west, central and south. They come from the islands of the seas; from the various sections of the United States of America; from Canada, to meet on one common ground, for one common purpose, animated by one common desire, thirsting for one common realization, the securing for themselves and for their children's children the hearing of their grievances by the supreme court of humanity, and the acquisition of that status of nationhood, which they feel is rightfully theirs, and which they also feel ought not to be denied them by one one, no matter whom that person may be. Studies of the great ancestors of a race that taught mankind the arts and sciences, and blazed the path to progress and civilization, will hover over that august gathering. Inanimate forms will pervade the other around that vast assemblage, and the spirits of the dead and cleaning heroes of past ages will again be re-incarnated in the sons It was Frank Channing Haddock, who wrote thus in "Power of Will": "The will is god, the will is man, The will is power loosed in thought. In soul the unfaithomed will begin, In mind the lower will is wrought. Nothing is soul-less entity, All one, to will, to act, to be. and daughters of Ethiopia as they sit around the council table of that great conclave, and plan and think out ways and means for the lifting of the men from the sloughs of despondency, and placing it on a level with the other races of the sons of men. Hearts will beat high with hope as they feel the surge of the blood in their veins, as visions of great ancestors of a long gone day pass before their mental vision, giving them glimpses into the future, of what the race can be, if it will but stand united, and work hand in hand for the good of the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, and the freedom and redemption of Africa. The best his mature prophecies: Master of Fate, executive of Self, a sovereign strong and wise. Art thou a pigmy? Courage, soul, For thee, as all, the kingly goal. This is a strong truth, powerfully stated. We would that every son of Ham would learn the truth of these statements. We would that every Negro would come into a realization of the practical utility of these truths; realize that they can be actually demonstrated in our lives, and then go on living them, day by day. What transformations there would be in store for us, if even a small percentage of the people of our race would come to know the truth about these things. During that period of thirty-one days of council, and plan, and deep, earnest, clear thought, heroes will be born, whose lives will lighten the world. Great souls will find the avenue for expression and expansion; and the dream of Africa redeemed will become nearer a reality. If we are to judge by the emotional heaving of the breasts, and the flashing of the eyes of those who have passed from us here; if they are a symbol, an example of what the others will be, then we can rest assured that the deliberations and decisions which will be arrived at that gathering of the clans will be the most far-reaching, not only in the history of this race of Negroes, but in the history of mankind. When truth gets a hold on human hearts and minds and souls, there is surely going to be a change, and a change for the better. There are yet many who are inclined to scoff. There are still others who are skeptical as to the good results that come from these gatherings from time to time; but the world may take it from us, that no set of mortals ever went forth to battle, or to death, with more unswerving loyalty to a cause, with a calmer determination, or a more sincere appreciation of the tasks ahead, or the problems to be confronted and solved during and after the rising of the Sixth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, than these delegates. From now on let us come to an understanding of the truth as it has SOMETHING WRONG! Men of heroic self-will, grim purpose, and souls steeled for the essaying of the sternest and most gruelling tests that can ever come to mortals will meet their fellows at that great council table. Unfaltering faith will be required of those who take part in that conclave, as well as those of us who stand on the side lines to hold the fort while they are planning and shaping the course along which this race must travel to nationhood. We shall need a tenacity of purpose which has not yet been exhibited by any race of men since the world began. We shall have to develop the souls like our fathers in the days when earth was young. We shall have to learn to disregard death and every kind of consequence, for upon our attitude shall depend the future of this race of Negroes. There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation. The sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens—Philadelphia Tribune. Therefore, fellow-Negroes, let us remember, come life, come death, come anything, come the crash of worlds and the end of time, the work of the U.N.I.A. goes marching on, fighting, struggling, straining, tirelessly striving till the goal of Negro freedom and African redemption shall have been won. --- "Men are not given freedom; they take it. Men endure slavery while they have the spirit of slaves; but when they develop manhood, woe to their masters who stand in the way," quoth Robert Quillen in a copyrighted article in the Washington Post. And as the clans gather in that magic island of the blue Caribbean let us write again our vows on the signboard of heaven. Let us lift our hands in solemn token of our promise renewed; feel the blood of our valiant fathers course through our veins, hear again the battle cry of Garthage as we echo forth the cry, that "the Negro must be free," and "African must be redeemed." By the same token Jim Crow cars are made for Jim Crow people. Segregation is for those of the hard instinct. When the people wake up; when they are able to climb by their own boot-straps; when they are able to stand on their own feet, and are sufficiently strong to break their own shackles, their humiliations and sufferings will disappear. WHAT DO WE OWN IN HARLEM? THERE are those of us who feel a smug complacency, as we strut about the streets of Harlem, and feel the presence of these piles of brick, and stone and mortar, as they flank our walk; and we think that that Harlem is a Negro section, a colored township. But let us go down to the truth of the matter. Is Harlem a Negro community or an affinity, or are we only fooling ourselves? What do we mean here is Harlem? What percentage of the drug stores, or coffee shops, dry good stores, cabarets, shoe stores, and other businesses do we own is Harlem? Is the property held by the larger Negro group, representative of the large population of Harlem? And, if it is true that a larger number of Negro businesses exist than any other race group, is it not perfectly true that the larger race group here we ought to own, is well and other property in this district, and also that the larger owners of the business enterprises in this lo- Legislation may make freed-men, but never free men. Men must also themselves free. That is the history of mankind.—Star of Slaen. BIG TIME MEN There is a measure of truth in the saying that there is a sitting process going on in society, by which a man will eventually land where he belongs. Some men are drawn for the bottom, and place them where we will and prompt them how we may, they end up at the bottom. There are others who seem born for the top, and they may be bound and weighted on the bottom, but in some they also to a place of commendable prominence. This sitting process is the arrangement and way we get paid by the upper hand of the society. It is in never been known to us before. We can do with our lives whatever we will to do. We can make masters of ourselves, or we can make misfits. We can mould our environment, and shape our own courses—our own destiny, if you please—and make the etheric forces round about us carry out our will. What is it that we most desire? Is it life, love, power, friends or fortune? We have within us the power to bring into our lives anything that we can want to be, or to do. We can turn the tide of seeming, so-called ill-huck, stem the flow of disasters. We are masters of Fate, as I said before. We can! We can! We can. We can triumph over every form of obstacle, and rise above all the sordid conditions that confront us, and make of ourselves anything that we want to be. Learn the great truths of life. Learn of the power within. Learn that you are master of your fate. Resolve to make the most of yourself, and stick to that resolve. If you are earnest, if you are sincere, if you have courage, if you will not let circumstances denot you, if you will not bow the haze to any form of obstruction; in short, if you will rise up and be a man, play a man's part in the battle of life, you will at last realize that you have arrived to the place you carved out for yourself, and filling your soul with the power of infinity, go forth under God's heaven a master and a man. You can make of life whatever you want it to be. GOD AND HIS HOSTS (Dedicated to John E.

In recent years, such men as Roland Hayes, Harry Burkle, Paul Roberson, Jules Bledsoe et al, have succeeded in showing many American people the beauty in Negro music, rendered by Negroes. However, it has been heard in such places only which were public spirited enough to guarantee these artists large sums for their appearance. The admission fee is large and consequently the average white person, who after all, constitute the larger number, sediment heard them. The sound picture presents the opportunity to allow America as a whole to see and hear Negro artists at their best, at a small price and which permits the average fellow to come to appreciate these fine contributions the Negro makes to the country.—The Iowa Bystander. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR EPSONS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1000 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will do rather than submit. The Jews that say it's of no use to be mistaken, dreams fail, and the Jews will fail. Our litterate preachers have largely been responsible for this ridiculous doctrine: "Take all the world, but give me Jesus." And at the same time, they were striving to get as much of this world's good as our manger purses would supply. The monies which we have contributed to them, did not bring financial enrichment to our material needs; therefore, we should call a halk to their "Heaven bry and bry" imprachment. Christ was sent into the world to teach Love. God created the world for man—not man for the world. He wants us to love Him in the highest spiritual sense; then love our neighbors in the highest brotherly sense. That should be our religion, so simple that even a child would not err; but not a multiplicity of creeds and denominations, that neither we nor the creators of such, are able to understand. This brings us to a second conclusion: Our religion is intended for our good, rather than ourselves for the religion's good. (I John IV.12 reads): "No man hath seen God of any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us." Let us all adopt such wholesome truths, and resource foolish religious inconsistencies. ARTHUR S. GRAY. Los Angeles, Calif. Africa Is Calling By Victor George Cohen Your country is anxiously waiting for you. Go forward and show her just what you can do. Take them that great symbol, the red, black and green. The greatest tri-color the world has yet seen. Your brothers and sisters on Africa's shore Are anxiously waiting, and daily implore To aid them and help them to rid their fair land From greedy usurpers and murderous bands. United as one man, though dark be the night. And forward, press forward toward the great height. Of freedom and liberty, justice and peace. Or die in the act, ere your swords you release. She needs teachers, not preachers with sanctified looks; She needs builders, not breakers and hard-hearted crooks. Who lost nothing in Africa, and nothing will find. Though they roam this wide world six thousand times. She needs doctors to conquer the germs of disease. And sawyers to build our fair homes from the trees; And architects smart, who are versed in their art. To give our great builders their chart for a start. She needs engineers our fair cities to plan she needs all the arts and the crafts you possess— Go forward and give her your great eat and best. The Editor of the Negro World: Thank you for space in your column in complimenting our worthy Editor, Mr. R. T. Brown for his wonderful article of "Shoulder Arms," on the 22nd of June issue of The Negro World. May I say, every true Negro who reads with interest that article as I did, should feel the blood gush through his veins and minews. The military parlance is a signal to be prepared to march forward to make the demands known, to make our voices heard in one unanimous cry, that "Africa must be free." "Africa must be free," is our duty, our Cause, our Obligation, our Enthusiasm, for which we live and all are ready to die. The appeal of this proposition is to every Negro alike no matter wherever he is born. Because of this determination we are standing at the threshold of a new Era. The Era of the M. I. A. with its 11,000,000 members stand up one man and tell the world that there will be no peace on earth, till the "Negro is free." The struggles of the twentieth century both in peace and in war, were devoted largely to overcoming the aristocratic position as applied to individuals. In establishing the equal right of every person to development, it became clear that equal opportunity for the Negro involved this necessary institution. Liberty came to mean the right of the Negro to easy life, to acquire property, to pursue happiness in such a manner and to such an extent, as by any other fellow. Liberty thus defined undermined the aristocratic authority democracy. Liberty thus defined, in a large part of the Western world, been in the Creation of God. person, as applied to people, as he relied it on as applied to judgement. The Negro has believed that each race has something of peculiar value, which it can contribute to the attainment of those high ideals, for which it is striving. The Negro believes that he must not only give to the nations the best that is in him, but must preserve for himself the best that is in him and develop in him the best of which he capable. The Negro has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, has the path of progress. The Negro has petitioned our liberty, has been denied, has remanded to arrest the tyrannical hands of the oppressors. The Negro petition has been slighted, his remuneration has produced additional and violent insults. The Negro has supplicated, his supplications have been disregarded, has been spurred with contempt. In vain after those things may we indulge in found hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. "If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate these inestimable privileges, for which we have been no long contending; if we mean not to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged curvises never to abandon until the glorious object of our context shall be obtained." Therefore, "shoulder Arms," stiffen the lip, imbale deeply the breath and vet ready to fight till the Negro right, Negro privileges, and Negro Liberty become the common heritage of mankind. Thank you. Hon. Editor of The Negro World, New York City, N. Y. Kind Sir: Please give me a space in your valuable weekly to congratulate our Rev. Dr. R. R. Porter. To Right Rev. Dr. R. R. Porter: Reverend One—Reading your comment on "Poverty" in The Negro World of June 15, 1929. I must hasten to congratulate you for choosing such a subject. The writer of this, having spent most of his young life "since school days" in the West Indian, has come in contact, say, with the poorest class of people on earth, both white and black, and finding them mostly ignorant and selfish, do appreciate your comment, and only beg that you write a little more on the forementioned subject. Dear Reverend, may I bag also that you will define that part of Scripture that says: "It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than a rich man to enter into Heaven." If that be the case, what chance has a poor man. To me, poorness is a crime, and I know that poverty has caused thousands of men imprisonment, death, and has led many to sin against the Holy Ghost. I have heard men deny Christ, deny their mothers, their wives, etc.; just through poverty. And until the negro can stop gazing in the sky and looking towards that milk and honey, stop believing that poverty is a blessing, for somewhere in Deuteronomy, 28th chapter, it is written that when one is blessed his storehouse shall be filled, his cup runneth over, his field shall be prosperous, and in general he shall be rich in all things. Poverty, then, is vice vera. If in any way I am wrong, don't blame me, for I have all reasons to believe that poverty is a curse. Wishing you well, sir, and looking for your explanations, I remain. Missaging Editor Negro World. Sir: Please give me a little space in your valuable paper to show my appreciation of one who has found his little corner and who is doing yeoman service to the Negro race by his writings in the Negro World. I refer to Mr. J. A. Rogers, the well known writer, who is leaving no stone unturned in drawing the Negro's attention to the history of Africa's glorious sons of the past. Surely one who knows nothing of the Negro's history, will feel much pleasure and derive much benefit, after reading his articles. Keep it up, Sir Roger. Dig deep down into our past glories and let the world know of our glorious past, and what we will be in the future. Surely you are doing well your part. Hoping you will not get weary in the fight for the cause Africa, I remain You're truly.

The colored cop hopped off the running board and accosted the lad, a snowflake on his features. "Got off this street . . . and stay off." He tightly grumped his night stick. The boy run off. The cop walked back to his partner behind the wheel and made this remark: "He plays the hall out of not thing!" and grinned. They're human. ONE OF HARLEM'S FINEST grabbed a small faller by the collar, some trivial offence. The officer drew back his hand and let fly. The intended victim ducked and bobbed up, looking unmilingly into the cap's face. The blue-coat shot cut his hat again, and connected with nothing more solid than the air. He frown himself looking into the serious features of the small man. The cap had enough. "Get to 'all out of' breath!" he blustered. Tite things come in small packages.

Across the Pond England Defeats South Africa in Third Cricket Test LEEDS, England, July 16.--The South African cricket team now touring England, los the third test match by three runs and five wickets. South Africa compiled 286 and 275 for an aggregate total of 511 runs. England replied with 328 and 186 for five wickets; aggregate 514. England so far has drawn 2 and won 1. Two more is to be played. The third test match was a tense struggle between the two teams. Apparently in a hopeless position, through H. G. Owen Smith's 129 today South Africa made a fine bid for victory or a draw. At lunch time things looked serious for England. Two of her best batsmen, Sutcliffe and Hammond were disposed of. Sutcliffe 4, Hammond 0. England was still 163 runs behind. The middle section of the team played steadily and pulled the game round. The veteran Wooley who was top-scorer in the first innings, stepped into the By DAROLD. L.

Gleaners C. C. Most Formidable Club in New York League VAN CORTLAND PARK, Sunday, July 31.—After a lapse of years, Gleaners are again making a strong bid for the premier cricket honors of the city. With the cessation of Sunday cricket in the Commopolitan League, the old time stars of Gleaners are now assisting the club to uphold its tradition. Back in the fold they come; Kun. Spencer, A. Gittana, H. Deare, G. Springer, A. "Kid" Lewis, D. Lewis, Tim. Fords and a host of others, present an alignment that can hold at bay any club in the country. A match is pending with the Visiting Bermudian cricket team that will be in our midst on the fifth of next month. This will be a game worth going miles to see. Keep it in mind. Gleaners today drew with St. Vincent owing to the fact that Gleaners' best bowling was absent; arriving too late on the scene. St. Vincent was allowed to score 131 runs. B. Sutherland batted nicely for 63. E. Poyar, 20 not-out. On Gleaners turn at bat. Time alone prevented them from placing on the boards a staggering total. They were rarin' to go. The first two batmen, H. Deare and D. Lewis accounted for 78 runs before they were parted. Five other men of like strength came in and practically gave away their play; endeavoring to beat Time. The match ended in a draw. Gleaners 116 for the loss of 6 wickets. H. Deare 45, D. Lewis 44. D. McClean proved to be St. Vincent's best bet with the ball. BERMUDA HAD AN EASY TIME WITH ATHENS today. Athens is a pretty "tite" club but Bermuda took them in their usual cool way. Bermuda's bowling is not all that it should be; rather weak, but their batting makes up for the deficiency. Athens thought they were well off with 129 runs. E. Hollar 24 not-out, A. Sealy 20, D. Lindo 20. Bermuda knocked the score off with two men. E. Robinson 71. W. Paynter 60. E. Paynter 25. 9 wickets fell for 195 runs; highest score of the day. ST. KITTS TOO MUCH FOR GRENADA. St. Kitts had a 90 day of it against the weak Grenada C. C. to the delight of its many followers; led by the irrespassible Tuckett. St. Kitts amassed 190 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. E. H. Margeson 39, N. Yearwood 35, A. Thomas 34, R. Yearwood 80 not-out, A. Richardson 19. Grenada responded with 76. McWilliams 31 and Baldwin 17 being the principa scorers. LEST YOU FORGET. There is a lunch room right opposite the grounds.

C. recovering from the lathering administered by the West Indian C. C. last Saturday, tumbled the Trinidad aggregation from first place in the Cosmopolitan League. Sussex, last year's champions, automatically moves up into the honored position, leading by two points. United, batting first compiled 151 runs, of which O. Layne contributed 38, R. Griffith 34, Bignall 26, Herb. Nichols 16. On Trinidad's turn at bat, Roy Holder (brother of Ed.) uprooted them in short order. He obtained 7 W. for 18 runs. Nice work. With darkness fast approaching, about three minutes to play. O. Griffith made a beautiful one hand catch, flat on his stomach, at square leg. This retired the side. SURREY FIELD and BRITISH GUINA played to an exciting finish. The last B. G. batsman inadvertently stroked the ball on his wicket. This was another battle against time. Surrey won. Surrey took the wicket first. They amassed 141 for the loss of 7 W. H. Deare 42, D. Forde 30. B. G. was all out for 40. Top scorer, C. Bassent 17 L. B. W. to young Burnett. A. Gittens got most of the wickets. Eddie Tolan Sails To Compete Abroad Eddie Tolan of Michigan, dark hued national sprint champion, embarked on the S.S. Olympic, bound for Europe last Friday. Fred Sturdy of Yak, the national pole vault champion; Leo Sexton of Georgetown, all-around star; Leo Lermond of the Boston A. A. national mile champion, and Dick Rockaway of Ohio State, who recently smashed the world's low hurdle mark, sailed on the S.S. President Roosevelt last Thursday. They will compete in a series of track and field meets in Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo, Helsingfors and perhaps, London. The trip is being sponsored by the Stockholm newspaper, Gota Idrotts-forening, and the Swedish Daily News of New York. Stockholm will be the main stop-over of the tour. ACROSS THE LINE The Montreal West Indians had a decisive victory over Verdun in a Canadian-League fixture played Saturday, July 6th, by scoring 155 against their opponents' 34. Soft—er what, Ed? Holder was top score for W. I. with 62. Dillon Burnett got most of Verdun's wickets. W. I. is in second place, having lost to McGill University, the leaders. LOOKS FAMILIAR, EH? --- Sports A GOOD FIGHT CRAMPED Well boys, I motered out to Ebbets field last Wednesday evening; on should I say I submerged and shot through the hole. Anyway I get to my destination feeling rather stiff. Something seemed to have whispered in my sound receiver that the night would not be so exciting. Of course the card appeared to be a lively one on paper. There was a new talented heavyweight to make his bow to the American and other boxing fans of various parts. The daily papers told us how big and strong he was, who he had beaten and knocked bow-legged. On the other side. All this hot stuff created a deal of interest. Glancing around the field and seeing the great throng assembled therein was proof enough. I cannot portray every bout, because some of them should be, and have been forgotten by me; and I do not care to refresh my memory. So I will start with the Dave King —Roy Wallace bout. This was a six round affair. I might say that Roy King is one of our boys from Harlem. Wallace is a white boy from Indianapolis. Well I have to admit that Wallace gave King a boxing lesson. Dave could not get to him at all; he being too small and his reach too short. I do not think that Dave's manager should have accepted this bout at all. Some of my boys surely must need beans in a bad way, but why fight for beans when the next day you can only take soup. Now for the low down on the Leo Williams-Jack Roper bout. "Description" Leo Williams, one of our boys, now residing in Harlem. Roper is a white gentleman from Mississippi, if you please, who weighed twenty-two pounds more than Leo. Talk about a clown for looks, this bird Roper made some faces that would scare Wringling Brothers head Comic Man, but, Williams was evidently not out for an evening's amusement, so he went to work on this big piece of beef and chopped and chopped until he had him down to a small steak. Williams won nine of the ten rounds. Young Rop or Roper, as they call him made a savage attack in the tenth round, as he knew that the only thing to save Leo from receiving the referees duke would be a knockout or a near knockout. So, he started the tenth by rushing and swinging and caught Williams with a wild left, that sent Leo hanging over the ropes. It was not necessary to start a count for Leo wriggled out of it and kept stepping around, when the bell rang ending the bout, they were both standing in the center of the ring, posing. I was a surprised Him when they gave the decision to Roper, for, he only had won one round, and that was the last as I stated before. Now they were clearing the decks for the Campolo-De Kuh attractions, which everyone was anxiously awaiting. Campolo reached the ring first, wearing a brown bath robe that I would call a ground sweeper. It was so long. Talk about big men, this Vittorio Giove Slinger, sure is the Geliath of the ring, and when he sooth, you stay soched. All that is necessary to worry about is shoes. My, my, if one of Campo's blows was sung at me, say within five inches of my chin, the results from four, and the storm from the passing thunderbolt, would surely stop my continuing on this planet. Now, say to have been on the receiving end of such powerful punching as DeKuh was, I am not alarmed at the abrupt ending caused by this DeKuh fellow's continuously fouling. They say that Arthur cannot take it. I am now convinced that he can't stand up under heavy fire. There was certain to be a knockout in this bout; and I do not think Campoio would or been the one in the down fall. DeKuh sensing this took the short road by landing below the belt line, and, standing disqualified in the third round, and saving the shortenders their dough. Everybody that went to see the best man win was grossly disgusted with this ending; for they did not have an opportunity to get a good line on Campoio. I received word from Louis Gutierrez, manager of Kid Chocolate, saying that the Kid has been booked for three bouts in Chicago. These bouts will be staged between now and September. He is to receive $80,000, for the three, an average of $20,000 per bout. This sounds very good. Too bad the New York promoters let this outstanding fish get away from them. The attention promoters in New York are giving to the heavy-weight division without bringing in Godfrey, will not amount to very much. Even Al Brown has to look for work outside of New York. Al is an attraction, why not stage him. He is a real fighting champion. Since he won the title he has engaged in three fights, winning all three. His last victim was Vernon Corraler, whom he knocked out in the fourth round of a scheduled eight rounder. This took place in Portland, Maine, on July 17th. Fugazy Gives Orders Humbert J. Fugazy, promoter at Ebbets Field, has instructed his matchmaker, Jess McMahon, to scout every corner of the world in an effort to give every likely looking prospect an opportunity to get in the scramble for the seventh place of honor on the Mukdun-Tunayy championship status. Fugazy and McMahon have set up a scouting system patterned after the one used by the baseball moguls, except that the boxing plans will be world wide. The idea was born with Fugazy when he discovered Roberto Roberti, Ricardo Bertazolla, who has yet to show his spurs, another importation. Phil Scott, England's outstanding prospect, is on the high scas and will get in on the Fugazy-McMahon elimination series. Note:—Say, Mr. McMahon, when you start scouting do not forget George Godfrey. In fact I think that Godfrey should be your ace to lead off with, because the one that could get by him, will be the find. Go about this business in a square sportmanship like way. You cannot lose. —Editor.

Any way, they top an all-star attraction Wednesday evening, July 24, at Kebabs Field. Stanley Lowen and Vic. Mendell will be seen in the semifinal. We boys in Burlington know Lowen well; he has fought quite a number of good race boys, such as Bruce Flowers and others. Stanley always gives the boys a good run for their money. So it is very likely there will be quite a large crowd on hand. THE RIGHT IDEA Word comes to me from the Signor's camp that he has booded Bid Chocolate, Cuba's national colored featherweight to fight Bad Taylor at Ebbettts Field on August 16th. This should turn out to be one of the best cards during the month of August. Mr. Humbert Fugray, and Jon McMahon, who is associated with him, seems to be playing them right. Give us more mixed bouts at Ebbettts Field. The colored prime fighters must be given a break. I am only with the promoters who are fair and square. There are a lot of good race loys that are forced to remain life. I ask the question why should it be so? Sport should know no race, creed or color, as a man is a man, and I denounce any promoter that takes a stand built upon race prejudice. The boxing game is too big for such small men so it is better they draw out. I personally admire such a man as Mr. Frugary. I had the pleasure of meeting him during the preparations for the Wills-Welkheart bout, that took place at the Fole Grounds for the Italian Hospital fund, some time back. I went down to his office to get some done. Although there was a crowd of falls around, including Harry Wills, this did not prevent him from receiving me with courtesy. After giving me the low down he invited me to join a party he was taking to lunch. I having just had lunch, had to deal. I finally quote this to disclose to you the skill of man he is. I will always thank him the best of luck as a promoter. NOTICE All Colored Fighters are requested to forward their photographs along with their fighting names, weights and record. To Marcel G.

Un- lucky, indeed, was the one who ran up against young Dumas. It was Mike striking a busa-saw with the naked hand. One day while tm a noted club a fippant young count, proud of his ancestry, thought to have some fun with young Dumas. “Monsieur Dumas,” he began, “I understand your father is a quad- roon?"* “Yes,” replied Dumas. “And your grandfather was a mu- latto?” “Yea!” “And your great-grandfather was a Negro?” Yea” “Good,” laughed the count. “Will you tell what was your great-great- grandfather, then Mi. Dumas?” “Sir! was the acid reply. “He was an ape. Mo ancestry began where yours ends.” Origtead His plays are filled with biting ob- servations. The following are ex- amples: “A woman's past is lke a coal mine: do not go into it with a light or there'll be am explosion.” "Be is one of those wemen who spend their lives im lining with soft padding the ditch into which they intend their virtues shell fall, and who, furtous at waiting on the edge for someone to push them in, throw stoves at other women who pass.” | ore “One can always live with & wife, provided ne bas something eles to: occupy his time.” eee “She had spread all those dis- monds over her mother who accom- panied her und who resembied the constellation of the Greet Bear, not One of the prettiest women I ever saw was the most unpleasant to look at. Nature had given her wonderful eyes, and features that were very Deautiful, but in spite of all this I remember her only with s wave of disgust. Her teeth ruined all her good looks. Bad teeth, or dirty teeth will do this for any girl or woman, and the most handsome man loses his good looks when bis mouth shows a row of broken, dirty snags for teeth. Very few people give the testh the care they should. They do not visit the dentist as they should, because they fear the pain they expect him to cause them. So they let the months go by; after « while a tiny break comes in the tooth, it spresds and grows into a hole.

Uterary honors than his father, and in certain learned circles is regarded as the abler man. As a thinker, be was certainly the profounder of the wo. Evidently the French Academy thought so, too, for the younger was elected to that body by twenty votes against eleven. The elder Dumas bed atriven hard to be ope of the Forty Immortals and the failure had burt Rim deeply. | In his opening addzess to the Aca- ‘demy, the younger Dumas took the aveembled savants severely to tasir for their falure to recognize his fa- ther. In after life the brilliance of the zon quite overshadowed that of the father—a fact that pained the soa and brought forth one of the most eloquent bits from his pen. Here, in part, is an imperfect trans- lation of it by this writer: “It was under the sun of Africa, of African blood, born of a Negro virgin, that was formed the one from whom thou wert to be born—the one who as soldier of the Republic stified a horse between his knees; broke an iron helmet with his teeth; and de- fended alone the bridge of Brizen against a vanguard of twenty men. “Rome would have borne him in triumph and made him a consul.

Delay will not help you, and may lead to serious trouble. Besides draining poison into the system and ruining the skin— making it pimply and sore—there are many other serious resulta from such teeth. Many cases of cancer of the mouth have been known to result from old stubs of teeth. Care of the teeth and gums ts neither expensive nor time-taking. One of the best dentrifices or tooth powders is ordinary powdered table salt. Sprinkle over the tooth brush, and use morning and evening. Balt ts not only good for the teeth, but also for the gums, acting as s cleaner, a whitener, and a germicide. It 1s a stimulant, and is not distaste- ful. The coat, of course, is practically nothing, aa a ten-cent package will last a whole family for months. ‘Toothache is caused by an exposed nerve, and if 2 cavity large enough exists, this should be packed with cotton saturated with oil of salt. Be careful not to swallow any of the oll, which is polsopous. Pack the cavity carefully, and then go to a good den- tist for a filling or extraction. Remember this: A toothache means your tooth needs attention imme- Giately, and putting of @ visit to your dentist means more trouble later.

Delegados de multiples organizaciones de la raza listo para la apertura de la gran reunión. Augurios de un gran xite. Participación de las divisions de nuestra organización. Nos hallamos actualmente en vísperas de la celebración de una magna reunión, donde nuestro elemento discutirá de una manera solemne los múltiples problemas que como raza le afectan directamente; así como también el hallar los medios para resolver los mismos apropiadamente. Las miras del mundo entero se volverán hacia esta convención internacional de los pueblos negros, la cual tendrá lugar en la ciudad de Kingston, isla de Jamaica, del primero al último de agosto del presente año. Este movimiento se llevará a efecto no como una construmbre de reunimos anualmente para cambiar de impresiones, sino que nos congregaremos porque la hora ha llegado en que tenemos que actuar con uniformidad de pensamiento y acción como único recurso o método por el cual nuestra raza pueda ser salvada, protejida y respetada. No hay razón por la cual toda organización de la raza no esté debidamente representada. Los que arduamente laboran en las oficinas generales para que la convencion sea un éxito, abrigan la esperanza de que nuestro pueblo obtenga en este gran conclave su verdadera representación. Los delegados a la convención procedentes de Africa, de las dos Américas y de las Antillas, encontrarán que su tiempo y su dinero no ha sido perdido asistiendo a dicha reunión, porque esta les renumerará en su valor social, económico y político, y en general les reembolsará con el conocimiento práctico que obtengan de nuestros problemas como pueblo parte integrante de la humanidad. Apesar de todo lo que se haya dicho y hecho en contra, hay que dat crédito a que los negros del mundo tengan la determinación de marchar hacia adelante, bajo la dirección que les haga sentirse como una entidad y como parte en el todo político del univeto. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no podrá ser destruida, porque sus objetivos abarcan los principios y espíritu de una raza que anhela enaltecimiento. Declaramos para conocimiento general que todo el sistema antiguo de dirección ha fallecido; no le resucitaremos, no le daremos vida. Por esto damos a entender en lo que a sistema de dirección respecta, aquella manera de dirigir que ha sido egoista, viciosa, desleal y sobretodo ignorante. Esta clase de dirección tan perjudicial a nuestro movimiento y por ende a las masas de nuestro pueblo, tendrá muy poco o ningun acceso en la próxima reunión magna de la raza negra. --- Las rudas pruebas a que fuimos sometidos en el pasado, no han sido sino lecciones que nos dan la experiencia para mejor guiar y servir a las masas de nuestro pueblo y a la organización. Agunos de nuestros directores en el pasado quienes se creyeron muy listos, robando y explotando a la organización, cavaron su propia fosa para no surgir mas. Sinembargo, esos hechos pertenecen a un pasado que no vale la pena recordar. Nuestra organizción y sus principios no pereceran; ellos vivirán por siempre y para siempre. Aquellos que en su carácter de oficiales o miembros de nuestra organización que se enlistaron en la misma con el objeto de robar a sus semejantes y creyeron que sus artimiñas no setían descubiertas, han sufrido un golpe fatal toda vez que los conocemos y estamos dispuestos a detener su obra maléfica a toda costa. Conceptuamos un deber nuestro el alentar al elemento negro universalmente, para que se creen nuevos brios pues hemos de escribir un nuevo capítulo en la historia de la raza negra en esta convención que se avecina. Será ello una recapitulación del nuevo progreso, las nuevas esperanzas, nuevas aspiraciones, nueva prosperidad. No desmayemos por lo tanto en dar todo nuestro apoyo en el sentido de hacer la convención del presente año el mayor de todos nuestros éxitoos. Hemos de recordar a todos los ramales, divisiones, capítulos y miembros de esta organización, que el pago de cuotas debe ser estrictas. A observado, para ser acreedor a los privilegios del nuevo movimiento. De otro modo no tendrán voz ni voto en la sanción de los diversos asuntos que hayan de someterse al erkuerlo de la convención. ```markdown ``` Considere apertura el dejar impreso en la manta de nuestro pushe la gravadad de la situación actual, sin dar intenso infasis a ello porque nuestro futuro dependerá de nosotros mismos, en la manera en que correctamente juaguanos el presente estado de cosas. Es casi sacrilego, de fines no cristianos y sin providencia alguna el intensificar la cuestion de diferencias de razas, cuando todos según se nos ha ensado hemos sido hechura de un mismo Dios, siendo este el constituyente de todos los hombres que habitan la tierra. En vista de los hechos en que el hombre se ha convertido en un animal cruel y vil, no nos resta otra cosa sino ser simplemente francos en muestras expresiones cuando hablanos de muestro grupo en particular, porque los designios malévolos de aquellos que han corrompido la moral de nuestra raza, han traido a nosotros la duela y por consiguiente el que nuestras relaciones con Dios sean también dudosas como hiljos del mismo por las circunstancias ya descritas; por las ignominias cometidas con nosotros, seres también cristianos. Secciones de la raza blanca han llegado a ser tan viciosas y destructoras en su acitud hacia la raza negra, que nosotros nos vemos en la obligación de exponerlos a la vindicia pública y al mismo tiempo advertimos a nuestro pueblo que sea mas cauteloso en cuidarse de tales clementos. Existe un designio. un desco vicioso y maligno para destruir nuestro raza. Este designio ha sido sostenido por el continente americano, donde los científicos y hombres de estado se han unido en un solo sentimiento y actividad, para arrancar del hombre negro y de las otras razas de color aquellos territorios y aquellas oportunidades, a los cuales tienen derecho por precepto divino y humano desde que el mundo fue mundo. Para encautarse de estas propiedades que no son suyas, ellos estan determinados a exterminarnos por todos los medios posibles. Han calculado ya todos los medios imaginables para poner en practica nuestro aniquilamiento, y he aqui que no se nos deja espacio para respirar, para organizarmos ni para cualquier otro esfuerzo que hagamos con el objeto de extrincarnos y salir ilesos de los planes y trelas que se pone en practica para destruirnos. Estamos por lo tanto a la vuelta del camino en donde debemos acumular todas nuestras fuerzas, presentar batalla de astucia y salvar a nuestro pueblo. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no predica el odio ni la venganza; ella predica el amor fraternal. Para el hombre blanco de niente liberal ello es considerado un deber; para el blanco vicioso e irreconciliable es un asalto a sus prerrogativas; porque se cree ser solamente la persona que Dios ha creado para dominar el mundo. Apesar de lo que este piense, el hecho queda probado que Dios nos creó a todos de la misma materia y nos dio un mundo comun a todos donde tenemos derecho por igual. Moralmente nosotros sostenemos el derecho que tiene el hombre blanco en Europa y el hombre amarillo en Asia, y lucheremos por un Afrika para los africanos. Si ello significa vida o muerte, nosotros lucharemos hasta el final de la contienda; lucharemos tenazmente, noblemente por el derecho que cabe al hombre negro al predominio del continente africano. Pondremos en buen uso todas las armas intelectuales del juicio y la razón, en la creencia de que luchando inteligentemente impresionaremos al mundo de lo noble de nuestra causa y ese mismo mundo nos escucharía y nos ha de hacer justicia. No habremos de recurrir a las armas que utiliza el hombre blanco para resolver todos sus conflictos; pero si acudiremos a todas las fuerzas de la razón. Aprestémonos, pues, a amar todas las energías a nuestro alcance y hagamos una cruzada universal para hacer llegar nuestra causa justificada hasta el coránn de los hombres. Nuestra venidura convención allanar el canne en una dirección. Es ella pisternamos nuestro caso inteligente, estando en la seguridad que los hijos de Dios no nos desesperan. Todo cuando así realicemos seed producto de nuestros propias energías y de nuestros propios esfuerzos. En una sesión del Sesado en Washington la pasada semana el señor Manuel Rama, presidente de la cámara de representantes de las ihas Filipinas, resolbó cilídeos elogios de los miembros democratas del comité de Fimanzas, cuando pidió que se fijase la fecha en que se habia de coneder innadiata y total independencia a las Filipinas si no se habia de alterar el presente estado de cosas, impuesto derechos de importación a los productores de aquella mación que se traen a los mercados de los Estados Unidos. Los senadores democratas felicitaron calurosamente al señor Roxas por su admirable defensa de los islas Filipinas, a las que representa al frente de una comisión especial que vino a Washington para combatir la propuesta medida de imponer impuestos arancelarios a algunos productos del archipélago, tales como accites vegetales, azucar y otros. Es mi firme creencia, declaró el señor Roxas, que sólo disfrutando de completa independencia potrémos modelar nuestros destinos. No es esta una idea que se nueve arrastrada por impulsoos ignorados, sino un sentimiento que se desarrollo a la sombra de deliberadas cautelosas meditaciones. Hen unchado en dos revoluciones contra España y contra los Estados Unidos. Somos hombres de carne y hueso como vosotros. Amamos a nuestra patria Amamos a nuestra libertad. Mi padre fue una victima de la tirania de España y yo era un huérfano cuando naci. Deseo decirles señor presidente y sefores senadores de este comité, al congreso americano y al pueblo de los Estados Unidos, que los filipinos desean ser libres para dirigir sus propios destinos, y permitames que desienta a aquellos que dicen que los filipinos abandonaran algún día la idea de completa independencia. Si el congreso desea ayudar a las Filipinas, que permita que se lleve a cabo un bliciscito y si el noventa por ciento de los votantes no substancias lo que digo ahora, nunca más volvera a hablar de independencia. El Señor Roxas pidió después la continuación de una política libre-cambista con las islas, si los Estados Unidos desean continuar considerandolas como una dependencia nacional, afirmando que no son las Filipinas las que más se benefician con semejante política, sino los Estados Unidos, ya que hacía alla envian sus productos con entera libertad y sin que encuentren competencia desfavorable.

TO REPAIR COAT SLEEVES When the edges of coat sleeves become worn, the hems may be ripped, the worn places carefully darned, and slightly deeper hems turned so as to conceal the darning. A school offering courses in the science of manufacturing cosmetics is to be opened in Detroit by Madam Holbrook. Mrs. Holbrook has had the rare privilege of being a student and assistant to Mme. Dekhnum, the celebrated French cosmetologist and scientist, known all over the world for her knowledge of manufacturing high-class toilet articles. The courses offered by the school will include every phase of cosmetology. The school will be known as the Holbrook Institute of Chemical Science. Graduates of this school will not find it necessary to operate under any particular system, but will be able to manufacture their own cosmetics for shop use, and may offer them for sale to the patrons under the trade name of their own shop. Mme. Holbrook has for the past eighteen years headed the "No-Brake" system of Beauty Culture, with active operations throughout the South and Middle West. It might be added that the secrets of the famous "No-Brake" preparations will be included in the courses mentioned above. Mme. Holbrook maintained her headquarters and school at 460 Hunter street, Atlanta, Ga., for a number of years, and has hundreds of graduates throughout the country who will journey to Detroit to take the courses she is offering. Mme. Holbrook does not believe it is now necessary to keep secret such vital part of the Beautician's art. She has graduated classes each year for the past eighteen years from her hairdressing school. A visit to Mme. Holbrook's laboratories will convince one that she is a master of her profession, and we wish her much success in her new undertaking. IN MEMORIAM Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over, will mourn the loss of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Gordon, Lady president of Bocas Del Toro Division No. 44 for many years, in every phase of U.

A., the Negro World takes this opportunity to express our sympathy for the bereaved ones for the sad loss which they have sustained. We trust their sorrow may be leased by the realization that she lived her life the best she knew, and is now passed to a higher plane of existence, where she can still inspire us in the upward climb to greatness. "A friend from us is gone, A voice we love is stilled. A place is vacant in our hearts, Which never can be filled." British Elections ANKO.—The British section of the League has issued manifesto in connection with the General Election, calling the attention of all workers to the growing menace of imperialism and showing that intensified exploitation in colonial countries undermines the workers' standards in Great Britain. "The League advises its members and affiliated organizations to support those candidates in the coming General Election who accept and support the principles for which the League is fighting. It calls upon all warbors to demand that their parliamentary candidate pledge themselves to support the objects of the League. "In the present offensive of imperialism against the colonial peoples, which squares with Lord Moselett's policy of the British Empire as a single economic unit, British workers should demand that their candidates pledge themselves to call for the withdrawal of the Liber Party members from the Simon Commission, reject the report of the Simon Commission, demand a general amnesty of all political prisoners in the Empire, support the demand of the Colonial peoples for complete national independence, and, pending the achievement of this, press for the removal of British armies of occupation in the colonies." White Virginia Protests Hoover Job to Negro RICHMOND, June 27.—The Hoover administration has given Virginia a Negro postmaster, and Senator Carter Glass of Lynchburg is all worried up over it, according to reports. A new post office near Thomas Jefferson's old home, Monticello, in Albana County, has been named Blenheim. The postmaster just commissioned in Thornton J. Nightingale, a well-known Negro. All are soldiers enlisted in life's battles, but the soldier who fights against truth is sure to lose in the end. BLOODSTOCK This is just what you have always wanted!

He knew that all that touches the flesh interests us; he recognized the imperative need for love in the lives of us all. His characters are s0 real and alive that pity for fallen womanhood sounded through the world. Received Highest Honor France gave him the highest hon- ors in her power. He was made a Grand Commazder of the Legion of Honor. He died on November 27, 1895, aged 71. Alphonse d’Alain wrote: “With the death of Alexander Du- mas, fils, 15 extinguished the gtory of this ‘mmortal trio which filled Eu- rope with glory for # full century. “The Ancestor: General of the Re- public, the Hercules. the colossus, the giant. the valiant soldier; typity- ing. action. “The Father, the Story-teller, par excellence, the master romancer, typ!- fylpg imagination. “The Son: The subtle and faithful observer, typitying Resson.” Future centuries will write the name of Dumas, fils, in the great book of immortality beside that of the best masters of French literature, and of the world.

It says: ‘Tho personality of the head of the Pullman organization has more than ordinary interest for members of our race, because of the place that corporation occupies as an ‘employer of Negroes and in furnish- ing comfortable transportation for travelers in various sections of the country. ‘The question of adequate pay for the porters employed on Pull- man cara end tho betterment of the conditions under which they haves to work, in the matter of shorter hours and pay for waiting time, are among some of the questions which will probably confront the new executive, awaittag an equitable settlement. “There are other questions affecting a larger number of the race, growing out of the discriminations encoun- tered tn southern travel, that should receive seeded attention. The policy of the Pullman organisation as a cor- poration engaged in interstate com- merce has been to make no discrim!- nations based oo race or color in its accommodations for interstate pas- sengers. Despite this attitude of the corporation, thers are many states in the South where it is extremely dif- cult, if met impossible, for a Negro traveler to purchase Pullman accom- modations."” Speaking of the effort of the Pull- man porters to organise, the Ameri- can Federationist for July praises A. Phillip Randolph, the leader of the movement, and then adds: “In this battle, The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is tackling a giant corpo- ration and fighting the battles not caly of the Negro masses, but of the entire working clase.” ‘The Norfolk Journal and Guide re- ports that colored women are finding it dificult to secure work in that city. ‘The New Jersey Federation of Col- ored Organizations met last week in Montclair. “Finding Employment for Our Youth" was the topic for discus- sion. ‘Thomas L. Puryear, Director of the New Jersey League of Social ‘Work, said that the economic oppor- tunities for the Negro must be de- veloped in the future, through indus- try and business. ‘The Newark (N. J.) Herald in last week's issue comments as follows on labor conditions in that city: “Thou- sands of colored Americana in New: ark are anxious and willing to work and cannot find work to do... . Let landlords who have mousy open their purses and do needed repairing. painting, whitewashing and tidying many old collars that need cleaning. Let them tear down many old eye- sore dwellings that have been stand- ing unoccupied for years. Let the general building program be speeded up. Lat the city do its share to pro- vide additional work. Let the mer- chants do their share. Let the fac- torles do their ehare. Let the pri- vate individuals do their share. Let everyone who bas @ purse and has vomething that needs doing have it done now. It will help humanity. It will help business. It will help New- ark.” SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES —The thought-provoking sentences picked up this week are selected from the address delivered in Atlants. Ge., be- fore the National Education Associa- thon by Mr. Arthur 4 Hyde, Secre- tary of Agriculture. He sald: “Amer- fea Delieves that its hopes and its Purposes will be soonest achieved through | guaranty of equal oppor- tunity to every man, leaving it to each American to climb as high and achieve as greatly as his merits and ‘his industry will permit. The sum of the achievements of our citizens is national accomplishment.” And then, “We speat billions of money and oceans of blood and tears in a strug- le across the sea, to defend our con- ception of political equality, and it is worth whatever expenditure of ef- fort and national treasure may be re- quired to guarantee equality of eco- ‘nomic opportunity for all American ‘cltizens.” IN CARING FOR YOUR SHOES Whenever paste polishes are ised a brush is preferable to cloth as it will force this paste into all crevices.
