XXV.—No. 18 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1929 Facing the Future Pregnant With Great Possibilities, Negroes Now Stand at Cross Roads of Decision FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, The Negro now stands at the cross roads of human destiny. He is at the place where he must either step forward or backward. If he goes backward he dies; if he goes forward it will be with the hope of a greater life. Those of us who have developed our minds scientifically are compelled, by duty, to step out among the millions of the unthinking masses and convince them of the seriousness of the age in which we live. From Adam and Eve We are either on the way to a higher racial existence or racial extermination. This much is known and realized by every thoughtful race and nation; hence, we have the death struggle of the different races of Europe and Asia in the scramble of the survival of the fittest race. As we look at things we see, that the great world in which we live has undergone much change since the time of the creation. When God created the world, and all therein, He handed His authority over to the two beings He created in His own image; namely, Adam and Eve. From the time of Adam and Eve the human race has multiplied by leaps and bounds. Where we once had two persons to exercise authority over the world, we today have one billion five hundred millions claiming authority and possession of the same world that was once the property of the two. When the Colonists of America desired possession of the land they saw that a weak aboriginal race was in their way. What did they do? They got hold of them, killed them, and buried them underground. This is a fair indication of what will happen to the weaker peoples of the world in another two or three hundred years when the stronger races will have developed to the position of complete mastery of all things material. They will not then, as they have in the past, allow a weak and defenseless race to stand in their way, especially if in doing so they will endanger their happiness, their comfort and their pleasures. These are the things that strike the thoughtful Negro as being dangerous, and these are the things that cause us who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association to be fighting tenaciously for the purpose of building up a strong Negro race, so as to make it impossible for us to be exterminated in the future to make room for the stronger races, even as the North American Indian has been exterminated to make room for the great white man on this North American continent. The illiterate and shallow-minded Negro who can see no farther than his nose is now the greatest stumbling block in the way of the race. He tells us that we must be satisfied with our condition; that we must not think of building up a nation of our own; that we must not seek to organize ourselves racially, but that we must Those Who Lead Must Be Forbearing—Must Be Forgiving—Must Be Sympathetic—Must Be Willing to Pay Price of Leadership Negroes Must Organize Now to Develop Resources and to Protect Race—Must Have Nation the solution of the problem that now confronts us. This is a dangerous policy and it is my duty to warn the four hundred million Negroes of the world against this kind of a leadership—a leadership that will try to make Negroes believe that all will be well without their taking upon themselves the task of bettering their condition politically, industrially, educationally and otherwise. The time has come for those of us who have the vision of the future to inspire our people to a closer kinship, to a closer love of self, because it is only through this appreciation of self will we be able to rise to that higher life that will make us not an extinct race in the future, but a race of men fit to survive. Those of us who are blazing the way in this new propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to enlighten our people everywhere are at times very much annoyed and discouraged by the acts of our own people in that, consciously or unconsciously, they do so many things to hurt our deeper feeling of loyalty and love to the race. But what can we do? Can we forsake them because they hurt our feelings? Surely not. Painful though it may be to be interfered with and handicapped in the performance of the higher sense of duty, yet we must, martyr-like, make up our minds and our hearts to pay the price of leadership. We must be sympathetic, we must be forgiving, we must really have forbearance, so that when the ignorant and illiterate fellow who happens to be a member of your own race stands up to block the passage of some cause that you believe would be to his benefit and to yours as a people you will be able to overlook him even though he fosters his opposition with the greatest amount of insult to your intelligence and to your dignity. four hundred million Negroes into one mighty bond that we can successfully pilot our way through the avenues of opposition and the oceans of difficulties that seem to confront us. When it is considered that the great white race is making a herculean struggle to become the only surviving race of the centuries, and when it is further considered that the great yellow race under the leadership of Japan is making a like struggle, then more than ever the seriousness of the situation can be realized as far as our race is concerned. If we sit supinely by and allow the great white race to lift itself in numbers and in power, it will mean that in another five hundred years this full grown race of white men will in turn exterminate the weaker race of black men for the purpose of finding enough room on this limited mundane sphere to accommodate that race which will have numerically multiplied itself into many millions. This is the danger point. What will become of the Negro in another five hundred years if he does not organize now to develop and to protect himself? The answer is that he will be exterminated for the purpose of making room for the other races that will be strong enough to hold their own against the opposition of all and sundry. The leadership of the Negro of today must be able to locate the race, and not only for today but for all times. It is because of the desire to locate the Negro in a position of prosperity and happiness in the future that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making this great fight for the race's emancipation everywhere and the founding of a great African government. Every sober-minded Negro will see immediately the reason why we should support a movement of this kind. If we will survive, then it must be done through our own effort, through our own energy. No race of weaklings can survive in the days of tomorrow, because they will be hard and strenuous days fraught with many difficulties. I appeal to the higher intelligent as well as to the illiterate groups of our race. We must work together. Those of us who are better positioned intellectually must exercise forbearance with the illiterate and help them to see the right. If we happen to be members of the same organization, and the illiterate man tries to embarass you, do not become disgusted, but remember that he does it because he does not know better, and it is your duty to forbear and forgive because the ends that we serve are not of self, but for the higher development of the entire race. It is on this score, it is on this belief, that I make the sacrifice of self to help this downtrodden race of mine. Nevertheless, I say there is a limit to human patience, and we should not continue to provoke the other fellow against his human feelings, for in doing so we may be but bringing down upon our own heads the pillars of the people.

Address of Lieut. Thornhill The Universal Negro Improvement Association is based on righthood, ousness and principle. We are sounding the clarion call for unity among us for one common cause. The clarion call has been sounded by our grand and noble leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our commander-in-chief. The ran and file of the Legion department, the Black Cross unit and the Juvenile Cadet Corps, are calling for men, women and children to throw in your lot with us, for the ultimate success of our race which must also play their part in the human affairs of the 20th century. As we look out into the world and among other races and nations we find that they are always preparing themselves for their own protection, and the existence of their posterity. Shall black men idle idly and pay no attention to their existence and to the survival of their future posterity? Small they continue only to be used as tools for other people's existence and not for himself? Africa is calling and I can hear the call. She is our homeland, and our heritage by right; therefore let us heed her call. Address of Mr. R. T. Brown (Editor The Negro World) Mr. Chalmirin, officers and members of the Garvey Club is one tonight to give a bit of encouragement in this great struggle of African redemption. I went to speak to you on the subject of, "A Fight To The Finish." On the eve of the Battle of the Marne, General Joffre's instructions, proclaimed that there must be no retreat, but fight to the finish. Every soldier must remain at his post, or be killed where he stood, for there must be no retreat. This is a good proclamation to keep in mind. There is to be no retreat. Having told the world that Africa must be redeemed, there must be no retrepression, no looking back, but a pressing forward, burning the bridges behind us, so that, those who are towards us, can retreat. Freedom is the only satisfaction in this 20th Century. Before we can put this program over, we are out for a fight. We have sounded the trumpet that shall never fail retreat. There has been great legislation and discussions as to how this great organization shall face the future. I am calling upon each and every man and woman to examine and find their weakness, and root it out by the corps. All that the world demands of the Negro is the Negro must meet. We must find our qualities and preserve them to face the greatest obstacle that we may have to encounter. Why should the Negro be free? I hear some gay that we are not brave.

The time has come to cease looking to leadership of white men. No people at nation got anywhere until they learned to think, and decided for themselves to other up; and that will help you achieve our aim. We are asking you to be serious, force from your slumber for the morning is at hand. Address of Mme E. Collins (Lady Vice-Pres.) Mr. Chairman-Officers of the Garvey Club, members and friends. It is with great delight that I greet you tonight in the spirit of Garveyism. I am pleased to bring to you greetings from the members and friends of the Baltimore Division No. 72, Baltimore Chapter 23, also from the Pastor of the Sacred Heart Church-Rev. E. Williams and her audience. On Sunday May 26th, a successful meeting was staged by Rev. Ethel Williams under the auspices of the Universal-Negro Improvement Association of which she is a stautch member of Baltimore Chapter, thus endeavoring to convince her members of the necessity of joining the rank and file of the Association. It was inspiring to hear the addresses of the various officers who portrayed through their expressions that they have awakened to the clarion call of the new age of the 20th Century when black men must rise and carry out their destiny. If they must survive the present day situation that surrounds their very existence. Friends we are not alone in this great fight of the survival of the filtest. I do trust, that in the future many more of our men and women will open up the doors of their environs and various organizations to the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and let our people know the true situation in this material age of existence, which calls for bread and meat as long as we are in the physical form. We cannot survive very long on the crumbs that may fall from the other man's table. Even now he is taking the crumbs from us. Today the world is undergoing a change. The political boundaries of humanity are being rereadited, and in this readjustment every race is endeavoring to find a home sufficiently secured as to protect its own integrity. "With the civilization of the Western Negro, we must found a Government of our own in Africa and build up a new civilization by which the race may shine out, its leaders in the great principles of life. Today we find races, speaking of their peace conferences, yet at the same time they are manufacturing bombs that will be powerful, enough to "melt" all the earth. We know that said can destroy not only metals, but even cement and granite. It is of an "electron secondary" type, and is said to develop 3,000 degrees of heat. All these and many more reasons are sufficient to convince each and every Negro, that it is high time for us to become a more minded about our very existence, and the future of our posterity. Today the world is ruled by science breeds and wits. Let us face facts that are if we do intend to enjoy civilization and the God-given rights of the black man which is African, our homeland. Let us unite for our common cause and purpose of saving ourselves from the coming onslaught that may take place for man's existence. Address of Mrs. McCarthy, Lady Vice President Mr. Chifmanm, Officers and members. It gives me pleasure to speak in this Hall of Eame. It will live on even after we, the older ones, have passed off the scene of action. Our children will read of this hall and of the inspiration it gave to the thousands of our race through the voice of our indemnite leader the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The convention is drawing near, and the spirit of Nationalism is burning in the hearts of every man, woman, and child who is sincere about this program. I find even those on the outside are giving expression to the steps taken by our leader his program, and they feel sure that pitch will be done in behalf of the honored sons and daughters of_Ethiopia. We need most at this time, unity among us. The hour has struck for universal activity among the Negro people of the world. It is no use for the Negro to continue to depend on the good graces of other races of the world, because we are living in a scathish age, when each and every race is looking out for itself. Let us have a Government, let us help to build it. Now is the time to give us your financial support in helping us to be represented at the coming convention in helping our leader to carry out his stims and objects for the freedom of the race. Mississippi Lynching Remains Unsolved LEXINGTON. Miss. After deliberating only six minutes, a jury acquitted John Pat Malone, white, peace officer of Harland's Creek, of the murder of Rufus Hicks, who was killed by a mob the night of December 14. According to testimony offered during the trial, the arrest of Hicks was made by Malone and W. C. Taylor on a minor charge of theft. While in their custody, it was declared by witnesses, a party of citizens halted the officers on the road after dark and sent the prisoners to the jail, killing the prisoners who seized the body and dragged it for two miles in the public road. It was and Hicks was wanted for alleged remarks made about a white woman. Owing to the darkness the officers were unable to identify the members of the mob. Music once first to go is it should to every normal child is a thing of real joy. My family was so musical that I never could understand what it meant not to have music in the home. Fortunately is the boy or girl born into such a home and such a life. He or she will carry with them all their life a precious gift. My father was a musician, played organ and piano, and the first money I ever earned was pumping the organ fifty years ago at choir rehearsal and Sun-say service where father was chorister of Zion Church at Rochester, New York. He afterwards became a minister, and his wonderful voice had much to do in bringing many into the folds of Christian activity. Music always had, and still has a peculiar feel. I am very fond of my small, father would be playing either organ or piano at home and would sing some pathetic selection. I would steal off to another room and cry, and so disbure him until he would be compelled to desist. But I grew out of it, and when about eight, years of he was determined to have me play both piano and organ. He gave me my first lessons, and a severe and exacting teacher he was. The organ of the type known as a melodeon, and the piano was square and seemed to occupy half the room. My progress was fairly rapid, and before I knew it was playing in public. Father was proud of my playing, but kept me continually under stern discipline, and when he became pastor, engaged a teacher for me. The more I delved into the wonderful art, the more interesting it became. Taste is not necessarily like assertions about matters of fact; either right or wrong; it is only more or less developed. Two and two make four for everybody, but that only is beautiful to me which I am prepared to make beautiful. Every new piece, every new step in musical advancement seemed to open up new and interesting fascinating worlds. In those days a Methodist minister and his family enjoyed a variety in life, by way of moving to another town or city about every three or four years, and this game me experience and contact. I finally found myself, a young man in the city of Albany, and after singing in the choir of Bethel Church, became chorister, and some times organist. I fondly recollect the many pleasant rehearsals preparatory to a Sacred covenant, when the organist (who is now a soloist in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in New Haven Communicut) rehearsed preparatory to a Sacred covenant, also traveled with Black Patti and was her understudy, assuming the leading role at times. I gave my sister her start on that same organ, and today she is one of the best organists as well as pianist in Buffalo. And while she has surpassed me in that musical capacity, I am indeed grateful to have had the good for- The Coming clave in Africa Awalts the Issue With Unusual Expect tation There will be played in the Island of Jamaica, British West Indies, in August next, one of the greatest African conventions; the world has over seen. It is to be under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Mr. Marcus Garvey will preside. It is pointed out that the island is a beautiful and health embracing countries in the world, was in the early years of the slave traffic the Centre of distribution of the ancestor of our brethren across the sea 60 other parts of the islands and to the American mainland; and it is remarkable that after some 300 years it is to be the ground for the convention at which, it is said, twelve delegates will be appointed to attend the League of Nations at its tent session at Geneva. It will be noticed that the object in view is a perfectly constitution) one, and that a petition is made to the Convention of the earth for a place in Africa for the sons of Africa now in exile. It seems a perfectly legitimate appeal, and we shall await with anxious expectation the response that will be made to that appeal by Christendon. That the African abroad is justified in seeking to found a state in Africa for those sons of the dispersion who have a mind to return to mother Africa may be gathered from the following press news reported, in a white newspaper, "The State," in its editorial columns for December 31, 1928. "The Monroe News-Star," it says, "tells of an unusually shocking affair that occurred in Jackson Christmas day in which two Negro women were shot down and a third perhaps fatally wounded, white men doing the shooting. The cause of the shooting was a dispute over dog owned by a Negro neighbor and sought in return by a Negro tenant at the request of the dogs owner. The tenant sought to carry out the wishes of his mistress, but the than who had the dog refused to deliver it to him. Subsequently a party of white men including three, to whom the dog had been leashed, went to the tenant's quarter, some under the influence of Hoguer, and Jasmine hit the dog but his wife, four daughters, and a grand child. They left the Negro women they intended to bring the dog. World time of giving encouragements and musical inspiration. Have studied music since the age some important composers. Have had some of the first instructors regarding theory and realism that I do now, will necessarily be of my own originality, no doubt the result of these many years of experience and contact. Fortune cast me into the Government service, and from that time have done nothing in music except as an intense lover of it, promoting music in my own home and participating in the art by helping different musical enterprises that saw some of my friends have been more fortunate in the music world, and passed on. Singers, musicians, composers, all follow the beckoning call from beyond. Some were promising, and were given unharmed opportunities, and then justly rewarded and richly they prospered. Although have been too busy to take practical and personal part in music, the art has been the center of my home life, and will always remain so. This music to my home is a real and vital thing. Under great strain of important matters, it becomes a source of constant and inspiration and refreshment. It is a joy to see music in some, form or other, going into myriads of homes. This is bound to have a more and more beneficial effect of home life and upon men, women and children of the race. We can never have too much of it. Blessed is the family in which music reigns, for great shall be their happiness. My whole family loved music and were musical. Music was a thing of first interest and importance in my home. Finally, we need music, because it helps us in its inimitable way to the Successful Life. Real success in life is far away from the mere matter of making money. Some people choose to live in a home have both some of the greatest failures in life. Their riches have brought them misery instead of joy. Success in life is the possession of the ability to appreciate the higher things in living. Most of the really worth while things, cost the least. Friendship, love of one's fellowman, love of nature, love of art, and love of music, are among them. In these days great music and great art are brought to us for so very little from them. There is no need to keep away from them. There is no need to hearing fine music in this country at this time. The very sir, is full of it. Each of us literally determines, by his way of attending to things, what sort of a universe he shall seem himself to inhabit. This is certainly true of the universe of music. The joy of existence is in growing, developing, working, learning to understand and appreciate the good in everything. Because music offers opportunity for this, it is a blessing, and the art of music is one which is studied with ever increasing profit. African Con- Jamaica passed, whereupon the visitors ordered the women to stand up in line and be killed. The latter, thinking the men were jesting, made no attempt to escape. Thereupon one or more of the white party opened fire, killing a girl of 15, another of 20 with a babe in her arms, fatally wounding a third daughter, and shooting the mother in the shoulder." The newspaper, "The State," calls "the affair an inexhaustible crime, coveted, brutal and ferocious." The newspaper, "the verdict of Christendom." But Christendom stands aghast at this sort of thing, and does not seem to know what to do. At Geneva, when the prayer of the Negro is presented, probably Christendom will understand and act, for what a worm of a race will not turn at treatment such as this? "THE GOLD COAST LEADER."

In every package of genuine Bayer Aspirin are proven directions with which everyone should be familiar, for they can spice much needless suffering.

The Black Belt now extends around the world. Art, letters, music, and culture of the twentieth century are all profoundly influenced by the Negro, the American Negro in particular, according to Joseph Chapiro, who announces his discovery in the Berliner Tageblatt. His influence is increasingly felt on the artistic planes no less than in the political sphere. The American Negro, exclaims the German observer, has an influence that is "comical as well as comical." And he is becoming conscious of his emerging power. Moreover: "New York City's Harlem rouse slumbering Africa, forms a pan-African Union, oversees the labors of the League of Nations, where a special commission buses itself with colonies. The reports of this commission are read by no human being" among Germans, but all the more searchingly are they scrutinized in Harlem. "Any misdeed perpetrated against one of the black breeds by a European land is shouted throughout the world with a lung-power that more and more challenges the observation of the human species. "When the first pan-African congress was held at Paris in 1919, nobody paid any attention to it. The newspapers barely mentioned it. The fourth congress, held in New York in 1927, presented quite a different picture. Not only did the Negroes of the whole world send delegates, but the leading newspapers of the earth reported it.

Negroes, with their wives and their children, a volume of Beetles's guide book in hand, and a camera along over the shoulder." The American Negro is curious regarding his social origins. He goes to Africa in the pious mood of the cultivated Bostogian of the Back Bay district looking at Shakespeare's tomb. Nor does the American Negro neglect the rest of the world as a result of this atavistic absorption in the hammets of his ancestors. To keep the names that are famous, even if they are the names of the worldly poet, Claude Mackaye, born in 1889 in Jamaica, who went in 1821 to Russia, spent a long time in France and Germany, made a tour of the whole United States, and returned to New York with a vast mine of material, which he has since worked to good purpose: "The greatest living, altho still quite young Negro poet, Langston Hughes, toured Europe, and Africa, Josie Fauset studied at the Sorbonne, Alain Locks, at Berlin University, while the white black romance-writer, Walter White, spends his winter months at the Riyera and makes a study of the Negro quarter of Maracolles.

The Washington Division No. 183 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, wishes to announce the second appearance of the Hon. S. R. Wheat of Chicago on Sunday, May 19, 1984, with Bettie Loye who is the Lady-President was the mistress of centenaries. "An elaborate program was rendered, and the ladies, since this day was Ladies' Day, left no stone unturned to make the day a successful one in every way.

A paper entitled "The Progress of the Negro" was read by Mrs. E. Brizzell. Mrs. Rosa P. White rendered a very timely paper, "I am my sister's robe." A few brief remarks were given by Mrs. Mallisa Saunders and in conclusion, she introduced the Hon. S. R. Wheat. The subject of his address was "Magda, where is the Ark of the Covenant?" He related the following story: Long before the Greeks knew anything about government, the black man was in power. When Plato and Socrates went into Egypt they found there a government ruled and controlled by black men, a civilization so startling to them that they knew not what to do or say. The Negro being born of love, and so free and easy to expound his love, gathered Plato and Socrates to them and commenced to show them all the glory of Egypt. The white men eager to find a better habitation for themselves, other than the caves that served them as drilling places in England and other lands, commenced to plan to lay hold on the black man's glory; and from that time on till the present we find the white man claiming all the world. But the Hon. Marcus Garvey has another idea, according to the Hon. S. R. Wheat; for there are four hundred millions black men to be reckoned with, and under the red, black and green we raise our cry for the redemption of Africa. Professor Wheat drew a vivid picture of the two governments of that day. The government of Jerusalem, ruled by Solomon and Egypt ruled by Magda. The Hon. Marcus Garvey has established a motto of "One God, One Aim, and One Destiny," to lead four hundred million Negroes to a free and redeemed Africa. Professor Wheat stated that the Negro is as much justified in his struggle for the redemption of Africa, and for justice to the race, as Moses was in struggling to lead the Israelites out of the land of bondage. "Now it is up to this face of mine," says the speaker, to get busy and redeem themselves, and above all, remember the "Ark of the Covenant that lies buried in Abyssinia guarded by 10,000 soldiers day and night; and the Sphynx in Egypt, standing in testimony of the royal blood of Africa. Brooklyn, N. Y. The members of the Brooklyn Division No. 2 are rallying to the cause in characteristic spirit. On May 27 the anniversary of the renowned Toussaint L'Overture was celebrated.

Evanti Proves the Negro Ability in a New Field Opera singers, both white and col- ored, have risen from the rank and but set out to find the director, file of humanity into prominence. She met him between the acts at flared up in a dazzling glory, and talked sooner or later, faded in oblivion. What she found cut took a fourth answer. It is different in France. Here the taste for opera is cultivated by the government and no one is allowed to sing in the government theatres until an apprenticeship of six years has been served to the approval of the directorship artiste. Rigid Tests First, one must pass through six years of hard steady work in the province outside of Paris. Then he must appear before the final judges who are most critical. If the judges simply thank the applicant for the rendition, it usually means that there is no chance for a contract. If they ask for another song, there is some hope. If the applicant is asked to wait outside, a contract is assured. It was known to this country that Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, now known as Madame Evani, went. A music teacher and a choir singer in Washington, D. C., she chose to leave her home and attempt what few, if any, other Negroes have ever done or accomplished. Couldn't Speak French Four years ago Mrs. Tibbs went to France. She could not even speak French; hence the task of singing in French became doubly difficult. Now she has learned French and speaks it as well as a native. Moreover, she sings well in several other languages besides English and French. She sought an appropriate stage name for French soprano, "Lillian Evans Tibbs" was to long—moreover, it didn't have the French sound. She thought of "Tivani", but that had an Italian sound. Jessie Faust, of New York, finally suggested "Evanti", the name she now uses. In Paris Having reached Paris she was advised to study under someone of experience, and after a few weeks' instruction, sang for Madame Ritter-Champi, who, although she criticised Evanti severely, was well pleased with the soprano's possibilities. There was much to be learned. To breathe correctly—to stand and sit gracefully—to rise—to fall—to be happy when the action demanded, and to grow sad and melancholy at a moment's notice. Loses Voice Madame Champi was finally chosen as permanent instructor. They worked together, constantly improving. After a few years of study and hard application, she broke under the strain. Her voice completely left her. She could sing no longer. In 1927 and 1928, she sat in the provinces of France. She has done in four years what usually requires her to travel to the Grand Opera House in Paris. Going to the little town of Vichy, Evantil spent a few months in complete "rest and in the study of the opera 'Lakme.' During this time, she regained her voice. Soon she was ready to return to Paris. Madame Franzi does not wish to leave, France, where the love for amuse is imbedded in the nation and where even the children hum arias from the great operas. She will stay at least until she has realized her greatest ambition, to sing in the Paris Grand Opera House. Madame Salmon, one of her sponsors obtained an audience before the judges for her. A notable gathering met, and she sang with remarkable emotion, and the rending emotion accepted the audience as Evanti reached her climaxes. The Pennsylvania Quakers furnished some of the strongest anti-slavery sentiment during the great fight of the Negro race for freedom. After ridding themselves of slavery in 1786, the Quakers founded the institution in other parts of the country during the first decade of the 19th century. And then, to the surprise of all, the director arose, thanked Pyatt coldly, put on his hat, and walked out. He was not reached, the French standards.

If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Julia O Jerome A gentleman of Manhattan expresses himself this week. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I have money and I need love but I am afraid to marry. Mrs. Jerome. Women these days are so money-crazy that a man can't tell when he is being married just for alimony, have heard so many young girls calmly assert that they were going to marry for money then get a divorce and live on their alimony! I think this is a very deplorable thing and so unless you can convince me otherwise I will probably remain a lonely bachelor. Don't take what young girls say so seriously. Such remarks are made from bravado. Alimony is simply their way of saying that they want some easy money. Well; everybody wants easy money. Men often dream of getting it in the most unsocial manner but speculation upon these things is not to be taken too literally. When a young girl speaks so of alimony, she has in back of her mind really an ideal. With assured money she will, she believes, be able to make and keep herself more beautiful so that she can attract some ideal lover—everybody wants love, beauty and money. But when you get down from abstract speculation to personal action you will find women are not coldly mercenary—particularly young ones. The disposition product of women's past slavery. Not so long ago women had only privilege and no rights. Depending entirely upon the male for a livelihood, she had to continue taking it after she left him. She was not educated to work and being the child-hearer she was in a terrible position if left stranded. Society had to protect her and alimony was the result. So don't judge women or this custom too harshly. Marriage Is AlwaysaGamble A New Orleans Groom-to-be wants our advice this week. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am to be married this month. I like my sweetheart fine but I do not love her madly as heroes love their sweetheart in novels. So I wonder if I am making a mistake, Mrs. Jerome, and, if I am doing Rose and myself an injustice to go on to the altar when I feel like this. We are good pals and enjoy the same things but will be be good lovers, I wonder. Please answer. HONEST LOVER. Oh, if only the marriages were between good pals! Love murders, suicide and scandal would practically cease to exist. Of course the morning paper without these little items of tragedy might not be as interesting but marriage would be a lot more pleasant. Sentimental novelists have raised an entirely wrong conception of love in most people's minds. They make the ideal love passionate and perfect. Now, passion and perfection are almost mutually exclusive. For passion is usually bigoted and blind. While to obtain perfection in anything, whether carpentering or character, demands self-control and quiet and hard persistence. A passionate person is good dramatic material but such people in life seldom attain happiness themselves or give it to others. If such a person is exceptionally intelligent there is hope, of course, that he or she will eventually be sandpapered down by experience into something acceptable. And when this does happen we have a great individual but this is so rare that we have to on it. Serene romances do not get into satirism but they are the best kind to have if happiness, not picturesqueness, is our goal. I believe you have a great chance for happiness. H. L. Go on to the altar. Marriage is always a gamble but the cards are scattered in your favor. The Editor's Notes The keynote of a recent address by Harry Pace, one of the leading insurance executives of colored America, was that advertising page. It is an old story but it serves better with age. It may be truthfully stated that the greatest business of this country were built by advertising. Take away the advertising mediums and virtually all of these fade into insignificance. "There is no big business but that advertising made it so."

A recent film, "West of Zanzibar", where he starred, represented Zanzibar natives to be of strange and mystic customs. CHILD TRAINING Lately some doctors have invented a test to see what grade of mind the baby has at one month old. We know that as soon as he is born, he begins to use his mind and the training he is given in the first few years of his life is of great importance. It affects his after life much more than does his school retraining. For this reason, the job of the mother is being recognized as a serious profession. She must be and the training he is given in the first few years of his life is of great importance. It affects his after life much more than does his school training. For that reason, the job of the mother is being recognized as a serious profession. She must be a teacher and unfortunately, she does not study to be one. But if she is wide-awake she can learn much from the papers and books about her and even more from radio talks. In addition, there is the work of one great woman doctor which shows her what to do with the child two, three and four years old before he goes to school. It is possible to go to any library and get the method of Dr. Montessori which she followed in her school in Italy, called "The Children's House." As a further aid, the mother can now buy the toys Mme. Montessori invented for teaching. There are no mechanical engines or rocking horses, but there are pieces of cloth, exactly like the underwear of the child, with buttons and button holes. There are pieces of leather with shoe buttons and hoofseling frames; boxes with corn, gravel, pebbles and sand, which when shaken, train the ear to distinguish fine sounds; there are strong metal shapes for the child. Deaths In Congo Annoy Red Cross European civilization is sowing death in the Congo, and Negro workers in the Belgian equatorial colony are dying like mosquitoes in a frost. Twelve out of every hundred strong, young Congo workmen perish every month, in certain milking camps, and those who survive have no children. Men are recklessly "recruited," for work and taken away from their home village, where; in some cases, only 20 per cent of the adult male population are allowed to stay home with the women and old people. Though some companies fine their managers from $150 to $800 for every Negro who dies, the population is constantly decreasing and it. threatens to leave the huge Congo colony with just women and old men to work with some day in the future. This is the picture drawn of Congo labor conditions by M. P. Orta, president of the Red Cross of the Congo, and member of the league of national colonial mandate compaction. In a lecture held here in the presence of King Albert of Belgium. HOWARD OUTSWEIG HAWKFON WARHINOTON, D. C. May 47. Before a packed house in the Howard University Natalorium, Hangzhou was defeated by Howard in the first coloured intermittent syphilis martyred by a word of B-Z. to fit into proper spaces, to train the fingers and the eyes. I know of one mother who was so enthusiastic about the common sense behind these toys, that she did without a new suit one year to let her two children have their benefit. Both of them learned to dress themselves before they were three, and largely through the constant practice which these toys affirmed. The eyes. The ear and the nose of the children were guided by this method at the time when they are most sensitive to training. Most school teachers are struck with the amount of time and interest which most mothers show in having their children learn something from books, even before they come to school. They are proud to the point of boasting; should the little daughter be able to say some of her alphabet. It is true that Dr. Montessori included in her toys, cardboard letters of the alphabet, but her method allows the child to learn through feeling and handling a letter, like any object, which, through many seeing letters as signs. This of course, makes a letter as real as a toy dog to the child and learning the letter's name is no harder than making a pet doll. But nothing is said of putting the child to the task of learning to speak the alphabet or learning to read words. Should the mother know anything about the very difficult art of teaching children to read, she will not strain a bright youngster of three or four years. But, most mothers do not know how, and it is wise to let the matter alone until the kindergarten period. Rather she should lay stress upon fixing good habits and then feel sure her pre-school work has been well done. The underground railroad which extended through Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana was used by the means of copious fugitive slaves into Canada, under the guidance of persons like the heroic Josiah Henson, Harriet Tubman and John Brown. In 1837 there appeared another Negro newspaper, entitled the Weekly Advocate, edited by Samuel E. Cornish and owned by Philip A. Eell. J. W. C. Pennington, born a slave in Maryland, was a great theologian, serving as pastor of a church in Hartford, Conn. In recognition of his scholarship the University of Heidelberg conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Samuel Thomas undertook the instruction of Negroes in the Goose Creek parish in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1685. George Courtney won over McCormary here Monday night, May 18. A technical knockout. Courtney and his manager left for Philadelphia where on Monday night Courtney will fight Jack McVey, the crack colored fighter. WEEKLY HEALTH TALKS By J. R. WILLIAMS M. D. L. R. C. P. & S. EDINBURGH CAN YOU THINK CLEARLY? By DR. M. N. BUNKER, D.C.S. Nationally Known Grapho-Analyst. In secular language the eye has been familiarly styled the window of the soul; in sacred narration it is designated as the light of the body. Its organ of sight is full of intricacies which could only be unravelled through diligent and painstaking accomplishments. Its agility is due to the fact that it contains six intrinsic muscles placed concentrically around the eyeball. These move in regular co-ordination thus allowing the eyeball to turn in various directions with the greatest ease, whenever circumstances require alacacy of motion. The eyelids serve as protecting coverings for the eyeball. The eyelashes allow the eyelids to be approximated when the eye is shut. The eyebrow regulates the direction of the sweat and has a cosmetic effect likewise. Teats are secreted in the lacrimal gland and excreted by means of duets into the nostril, the excess run over the eyeball. The conjunctiva is a thin layer of mucous membrane which lines the eyelids, it is also reflected on to the eyeball. It is this mucous membrane which is the seat of a "cold", in the eye. The clear, anterior portion of the external coat of the eyeball is known as the cornea. The globular form is maintained by an opaque inclastic layer called the sclera. The iris is a vascular coat which provides the nourishment. Intimately connected with the iris are the ciliary body and the choroid. The pupil is surrounded in the centre. If neperes to regulate the amount of light admitted to the interior of the eye, the crystalline lens is a colorless body suspended in the anterior portion of the eyeball between the aqueous and vitreous chambers. A You can do something worth while. You can make a name for yourself if you will only do it. Within every human being there is some trait, some point of character, that, if developed, can be made to lead on to success. You have such a trait. It may be music, or it may be skill with machinery, or the ability to make a success in the school room, that you may be adaptability or for taking care of the sick, and the injured, or again you may have natural ability as a writer. One thing is certain, however. You have some natural talent that if cultivated, can be made to lead on to success for you. Read this sentence again. It is the truth: Two or three years ago I met a young man in a little drug store where he was trying to make a living clerking. I asked Howard U. Professor To Work for Doctorate Miss R. Arlin Young, Assistant Professor of Zoology and Acting Head of the Department of Zoology in the absence of Professor Ernest E. Just, has been granted a fellowship by the General Education Board. Miss Young will enter upon her resident work for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology at the University of Chicago, June 15. Miss Young is the first Negro woman elected to the Sigma Psi Fraternity. She received the degree of A. B. from Howard University in 1923 and Master of Science at the University of Chicago in 1926. Miss Young has attracted wide attention in her discovery of the structure and the rate of pulsation in the contractile vacuole of the parametrium. During the past two summers Miss Young has assisted Dr. Just in his investigations at the Biological Laboratories, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and is now making a study of the effect of ultra violet radiation on echinoderm eggs. cataract is the outcome of a diseased lens, the senile form usually appears after the age of fifty. The retina is a delicate membrane which consists of an expansion of the optic nerve. It is this optio-nerve with its several gels which carries the sensation of light to the back of the brain where sight, in reality, is produced. It follows, therefore, that when one is looking at an object, it is the back of the br-in 'which is really seeing the object, the eyeball is only the reflection. The commonest disturbances to the eye are particles of dust. Whenever a particle falls into the eye, the great endurance it causes the eye. This effect cannot be done. Leave the eye alone. Soon the lachrymal apparatus will come to your aid in copious tears which either wash away the particle or place it at some convenient spot to be carried away later by destructive cell bodies. If the particle is stubborn then seek competent advice. Every child should be examined for defective eyesight before attending school and suitable glasses given if necessary. Backwardness would be reduced to a minimum. A blue shade is a good protector for the eye when reading by artificial light. One of the most distressing complaints both to patient and physician is when an individual becomes suddenly blind. The writer has seen the occurrence, in a young man whitish, he was engaged in 'practice a few years ago in Great Britain. Usually it is only one eye that is so affected. The cause in ninety-nine per cent of the cases is due to a defective heart. This shows the great importance of attending to the heart whenever suspection is aroused concerning its proper working. him to write his name on the back of my card. When he did this I handed it back and said to him, "Go and study advertising. That is the work for you." He did it—and within a year was being offered good positions—where he had an opportunity to make use of the natural talent that is his.

V en Política Al satir a la política de prensa de la institución, la institución ha de publicar en los principales centros del mundo, donde muestra el elemento convivie o se halle en contacto directa o indígenas con los otros elementos, se schala una nueva epoca en la historia de nuestra organización. El eterno batallar. Hora en que dehemos estar en unisono acuerdo. Obtengamos el verdadero concepto de la vida. La lucha por el predominio uniniversal. Protejamos nuestros intereses y los de nuestras generaciones venideras. Es la intención de nuestro movimiento el establecer un periodico diario en las principales ciudades del mundo, cort el objeto de crear y mantener aquel sentimiento que tienda a proporcionar la verdadera paz y la propia solución de nuestros más complicados problemas raciales. En la isla de Jamaica, donde se ha establecido la primera publicación diaria de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, existe afortunadamente un mejor entendimiento entre los distintos elementos que la pueblan, y sobre el particular cremos que dicha isla sera un modelo de tolerancia racial y bajo desco para todos. El mundo que habitamos es un campo de batalla eterno. Los seres que lo pueblan son las huestes empeñadas en ese conflicto. Tenemos al presente el género humano dividido en diversos campamentos, y cada uno de estos se esfuerza por superar al otro. Nosotros los que constituiamos uno de los grupos contrincantes, somos los menos preparados para la contienda. En todas partes notamos que los varios grupos estan dirigidos por sus generales más competentes, con el objeto de conservar su puesto en el curso de los acontecimientos humanos. Nuestro elemento ha laborado alli por años y años cod a codo con los otros elementos, adquiriendo gran conianza y mayor consideración. Pero el tiempo ha llegado para que el negro, como cualquier otro individuo, persigia su propia felicidad y se establece con parte integra la prosperidad universal. Por tal razon aparece en aquella comunidad el Blackman, sin malicia para con ninguna raza, partido o institución. Desgraciadamente hemos reusado por largo tiempo enaltecer nuestra causa bajo nuestra propia dirección. Nos hemos dividido, sinembargo, nos afliamos a los diferentes grupos o a los diferentes campos y con ellos vamos hasta el sacrificio. Tanto en el pasado como en el presente vemos a nuestro elemento en la lucha bajo el estandarte de Inglaterra, de Francia, de Italia, de España, de Norte America, mientras los otros grupos u otros pueblos luchan bajo su propia bandera. Hemos reusado reconocer el hecho de, que debemos luchar bajo nuestro propio estandarte, y pot ello nuestra lastimosa condición actual. Dicha publicación diaria intenta mantener el mayor grado de confraternidad, con aquellos en dispo-sición de ser amigos de nuestra raza, no desperdiciando, sin embargo, oportunidad-alguma para combatir tenazmente, a aquellos que se declaren en su emengo. El Blackman mo originará dificultad por medio alguno; respetara la ley y patriciaron-ura obedience estricta a la Constitución, asistiendo al gobierno en toda ocasión a todo aqtello que reduinde en bien del país y de sus habitantes. Hora es ya para que nuestro grupo se ponga de unisfono acuerdo. El enemigo mas peligroso de nuestra sociedad es equel que nos dice que el mundo no es tan malo, que debemos tener paciencia, que nuestro semejante observara mejor comportamiento para con nosotros. Por el contrario, opinamos que para que ello suceda tendremos que esperar la venida de otro Cristo y nadie sabe cuando el haga su nueva aparición. Tal vez transcurra otro millón de años. Nos abriga la esperanza de que la isla de Jamaica se costera como una antorcha de buena voluntad y hacia tal fin laboraremos. Es natural que en toda comunidad existen elementos máskanos, que intenten prevenir algn, hecho beneficioso, pero en tales circunstancias estaremos siempre sentinela alerta. La vida es muy seria, la vida es muy preciosa. Si los cuatrocientos millones de nuestra raza quieren disfrutar de la vida, deben primeramente obtener el verdadero concepto de lo que ella significa. La vida no significa el desempenar el papel del tonto; ella significa el estar siempre sentinela alerta, siempre en disposición de protejer la existencia propia. Con tales razones y hacia tal fin labora la Asociación Universal para Adelando de la Raza Negra. El Blackman puede ser considerado como otro vocero oficial de nuestro elemento. Expresará siempre su opinión sobre toda cuestion que afecte, directa o indirectamente a nuestra razza y no se humillará a fuera alguna, por superior y potente que ella sea. Defendera todo principio de derecho y luchar hasta el final de la contienda. Al hacer su apicción en el campo del periódismo, el Blackman saluda a la humanidad en general con su mejor deseo. Si nuestro elemento no se prepara universalmente para la lucha en cuestión, se verá cara a cara con un infierno-el infierno de que se nos ha estado hablando desde que hemos tenido uso de raizón. Dentro de pocos años mas en la lucha por la existencia de los distintos grupos y en pos de predominio y posición del mundo que habitamos, la situación será mucho mas agravante. Por ello vemos a la gran raza caucásica preparándose a cada dia; por ello vemos a la gran raza amarilla preparándose a cada instante. Si la raza negra no realiza la gravedad de la situación y se organiza y se prepara para entrar en competencia con los demás grupos, debiera desde ahora entonat su requiem eterna. Otro Crimen Salvaje En las primeras horas ciel, dia 29 del pasado, una turba conapasta de unas cien personas, entró en la carcel del coudé de Crockett; ciudad de Alamo, estado de Tennesse, anocerándose del joven de la raza Jose Boxley, de 19 años de edad, a quien se le acusaba de haber atacado a la esposa del juez de anuel condado. Debemos y tenemos que afrontar el mundo con hechos prácticos... Nuestra humildad, nuestro sentimentalismo como raza no hos lleva a ninguna parte. La lucha por nuestro pan, la lucha por el pan de nuestros hijos, la lucha por el pan de nuestras generaciones futuras será una lucha eterna. ¿Qué será de aquel grupo de la humanidad que no se ponga en condición para preservar aquello que le sea esencialmente necesario en su existencia? La turba trasladado al desdichado joven en un lugar a cuatro milladgo de distancia, donde aplicado la justicia a su modo salvaje de entender, el colgaron de un arbol hísta verle expirar. Compenetrémonos de la seriedad de la era en que vivimos. Confiemos solamente en aquel Ser que no ha eliminado aun ninguna ley de la Creación y dio las mismas facultades tanto a blancos como a negros como a amarillos. Descansa sobre nuestros hombros una gran responsabilidad para con la presente generación de nuestra raza, y mayor responsabilidad para con las generaciones venideras. Preparémonos para poder-legar a estas el disfrute de la verdadera existencia a que es ecreedor todo ser humano. Real Diamond Found In Can of Salmon Columbus, Ohio. May 11. Word was received here today that "a diamond valued at $175.00 was found in a can of salmon by a woman in Ashtabula. The report states that the woman opened the can and she was dumping the contents into a plate she heard something that sounded like a pebble strike the floor. She LA CONTRADE PRESENTA LA MIGRACION La responsabilidad que han imparado pasa a la compromisadería de que la Internacional Paper and Power Company de adquirido ya once diarios en el Eso. Océntico cuajal y en el sur del pala, gastando en ellos cerca de once millones de dólares, presentan una de las más significativas, perspectivas de la vida nacional. En esta, parece evidente, se halla en pleno menguante el famoso y tradicional "cuarto poder." Dolorga es la observación para un periodista. Mas la licia inelible la realizad. Es la producto de la inevitable y arrrolladora comercialización de los más importantes factores de actividad pública. Uno tras otro, en efecto, han idenção bajo el poder de los que se llaman aquí con grafía frase "grandes intereses", «cuantos instrumentos de influenza popular existen». La política —lo claman a veces los más respectables" leaders" nacionales— es fís servidor de los "intereses". Y lo es el director; el cinematografo, los depótes—es base ball que rinde millones de dólares a sus "manipuladores" y los camponetos amarillos de boxco! A la iglesia, o Dios, bien a algunas disciplinas religiosas, se ha acusado abiertamente de aliarse a los "intereses". Es extraño acaso que llegara su turno al periodista? Y sin embargo, si este ha de conservar el ascendiente que aut restine entre el gran público, su única seguridad sera, precisamente, mantenerse tan independiente, tan ajeno como sea humanmente posible a los intereses. Hasta ahora, habiase preservado intacta la repetición de imparcialidad e independencia de ciertos diarios, en todos, sentidos, en política, en negotiation, en religión. Y otros muchos, reconocidamente parciales en política o en religion, mantienen o creciase que se mantienen—financieramente—independientes. Buen número de esas reputaciones caería ahora para no levantarse nunca. Porque el pueblo juzga generalizando, tal vez a la ligera, pero muy sensitivamente, sobre cuestiones de etica pública y privada de entidades o personalidades que, por una razón u otro, habia llegado a admitir, a anar o a tener. If periódismo americano es, a la vez admitido, temido y admitido por el público. En la reacción popular a estas revelaciones cada sentimiento de estos dará su matiz. Y an general será adverso o poco, grato para el periodismo en conjunto. Explicarable es la alarma general, por otra parte. En la precipitación y tráfico de esta vida, toda ella caracterizada por falta de vedadena y profunda educación popular, los opiniones del país, sobre las más importantes materias, formación al margen de un comentario editorial o significado la orientación de una campaña periodística sensacional. Quién garantía la de que alctor apresentado y sin documentación directa, cumundo asumir que "su" diario puede estar vendido al los intereses." Entre el público de formación mental estrictamente dependiente de los diarios, se encuentan aquí baja personalidades de la país, elevada influencia. Y ello la una prosecution enorne, una transcendencia definitiva a esta revelada "penetración" de una gran empresa en el mundo diario nacional. Su ejemplo, seria "seguido por otros "intereses"—tal vez lo ha sido ya. Y en desarrollo logico de estas infiltraciones interesadas en los organismos "de opinión", llegaria un instante en el que, obtener una legislación propicia, cambiar el critero público, en suma, soneter el país a una seria seria, solo cuestion de una campaña de la prensa adita a cambio, de más o menos millones—La Prensa. Y picked it up and discovered that it was a precious stone. A jeweler, to whom she took it, is said to have appraised it at $175.00. The Prince, a student of St. University, was waited upon by emissaries of the King of England last week, believing his return to Uganda and the thirst made vacant by the death of the king, his father. World Serve Country His retusal to take the crown is based upon a desire to serve the best interests of his fellow countrymen by the introduction of several innovations and much needed reforms. He feels that the crown, which carries with it allegiance to the British Empire, would handicap him, making it impossible to work for better conditions among his people and accomplish his most cherished aims. The kingdom of Uganda has an area of 110,000 square miles lying between Lakes Albert and Victoria, near the Mountain Nile. Its population is more than 3,500,000. Eptebte is the largest city, and it is here that the British colonial government, administered by a governor and commander-in-chief, is located. 70.000 in Capital The capital of the native government is located at the city of Mengo, twenty miles away, which has a population of 70,000. Uganda is divided into five provinces, Rudolph, Kingdom of Uganda, Western, Northern all, Eastern all of which are further subdivided into counties, and are connected with good roads. There are excellent postal, railway and telegraphic services. Schools for manual, technical and literary education are maintained by missionaries. $3,000,000 Duties Over $3,000,000 is collected annually from export duties on cotton, rubber, cocoa and live stock by this little agricultural kingdom. Under the treaty of 1800, the King of Uganda receives a salary of not less than $7,500 annually and his royal estate. The other members of the royal family are pensioned and are allotted definite estates which are similarly maintained at the expense of the government. Liberia Notes C. K. Sims, mechanic from Georgia, U. S. A., has opened a typewriter repair shop on the corner of Curtew and Front streets, Monrovia. He attends to all repairs of typewriters and gramaphones. The newly organized company of J. G. Richards and Co. is under the management of the Hon. J. J. Harris, formerly Secretary of the Treasurer. The company has taken over the business formerly known as J. C. Richards and Co. We wish them every success. Liberia's natural wealth, or its products are mainly coffee, palm kernel, plassau, cocoa, Cahab bean, palm oil, ivory, and rubber. Strange as it may sound, but as heretofore mentioned our present situation in that all trade or commerce is practically in the hands of foreign merchants; and as such our raw materials are scarcely at very paltry sum from the farmers, because there is no organized local control over trade conditions by a group of our own people. These raw products *on being obtained by foreign mercantile houses, for a little or nothing, under any suggested pretence to the Liberian traders or farmers, in exchange for merchandise, are in turn exported over gas to meet the demands of foreign markets in the manufacturing of articles. In the preparation of certain chemicals and other things indispensable to the world. Let us, however, have every reason to believe that future commercial life will not exclusively be managed by foreign business houses, in Liberian; but that Liberians will be long undertake to capture a share of it.

Man 22nd, before a large gathering of fans who were kept on the tiptoe of excitement. This fight was the forty-sixth victory of the "Keed," one of forty-seven starging, the other fight resulting in a draw with Joe Scalfaro, some three months ago. Experts at the ringside declared that this was one of the stiffest fights that has been witnessed in these parts for quite a long time. It is expected that a return bout with La "Barba" will be staged some time during the coming month. "KID" (CHOCOLATE MIGNED) A match between "Kid" Chocolate and Al Singer, the Jew boxer, is scheduled for June 11. Jack Dempsey is the promoter. Flowers and Berg Bruce Flowers who lost the decision in his bout with Jack Berg, lightweight champion of England, has asked for a return engagement with the Englishman. The right was the fastest and most furious ever witnessed in New York and drew an immense crowd—Those who saw it and the public in general are asking that these scrappers be matched again. Flowers was not in his usually good condition, due no doubt to the fast-gait he has been traveling the past few months. Persson, Retiring From Ring, Refuses $25,000 For Bout STOCKHOLM; June 3- Harry Persson, Swedish heavyweight, said today he had declined an offer of $25,000 to fight the American negro, George Godfrey, because he was withdrawing from fighting⁵. Persson said his decision to give up boxing was due to his inability to find suitable sparring partners in Sweden. Paulino In Training HOOSIER FALLS, N. Y.

(In the twenty-nine years, from 1889 to 1918, 3,224 lynchings—an average of 111 each year—were officially recorded in the United States of America.—The Nation, New York). Christ was once a little child, credulous at you. Dancing 'neath Egyptian skies on lightsome nut-brown feet; Slumbling in the shadows, and aware at evenings dew Of tiredness after pressure of the noontide heat. Jesus thought as you think, little Ebou Boy. Dreamed bright dreams of happiness, all unmixed with vague inrest: Oh, the febrile years of waiting half in sorrow, half in joy: The unfoldment of the Lilies, pure white Lilies in His breast. Jesus died as you die, in ages crude and cruel. High upon a shadowy hill, to set the whole world free: Gave His life, as in the fire your father's flesh made fuel. For those malicious martyrdoms, shame and rue on mine and me! J. M. STUART-YOUNG Nigeria. To the Editor of The Negro World: In order to maintain the prestige and preserve the dignity of an organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it is vitally important that our members cultivate the spirit of Fraternization in the highest possible degree. We can all afford to practice the spirit of revenge or malicious retaliation toward those who might disagree with our convictions.

We should learn to differ without losing our respect for the persons who do not agree with us; we should be able to criticize without becoming vindictive and belligerent; and we should be in the position to discuss and analyze with an open mind, in order that we might better understand the causes for our differences of opinion. If an atmosphere of repugnance is created, the possibilities for mutual respect and interest are weakened, so we must at all times endeavor to prevent such a condition from developing. The U. N. I. A. is a gigantic company engaged in the herculean task of nation-building. It requires a strong organization to succeed in the efforts that it is making, and every strong organization must have concentrated co-operation. Confusion and misunderstanding will weaken any movement and retard its growth and progress. Therefore, it behooves those who realize the importance of the program to exercise more patience when dealing with those who honestly differ with our convictions. Moral: If you are unsuccessful in winning a friend, do not make an enemy. Friends are assets, while enemies are liabilities. Very truly yours. ARTHUR S: GRAY Los Angeles, Calif. Harlem By ANDY RAZAF Chant, another song of Harlem Not about the wrong of Harlem. But the worthy throng of Harlem. Proud that they belong to Harlem. We the overblamed of Harlem. Need not be ashamed of Harlem. All is not ill-famed in Harlem. The devil, too, is tamed in Harlem. Harlem, care-free, thrifty city. Seeks no quarter, begs no pity. She will make her own corrections. Save your fears for other sections. She has homes and churche, many Clean and beautiful as any. Stairs, brothers, wives and mothers. Just as decent as the others. She has heart and animation. She has art and education. She has ideals and ambitions. Has her prayers and admonitions. She has doctors, lawyers, preachers. She has business men and teachers. Has her own opinion-shapers; Writers, magazines and papers. Hear that steady, endless scuffle Of her workers as they shuffle Eagerly to their work-places, Weary, but with smiling faces. Harlem's spirit—who can break it? In spite of hell, she's going to make it. In face of those who hate her. Chaot and rob and under rate her. Chant another song of Harlem: Not about the wrong of Harlem, But the worthy throng of Harlem, Proud that they belong to Harlem! Memoriam in loving memory of my wife Mattie L. Gordon, who died at 917 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, on June the 10th, 1921. Her husband, a brother and a sister and all her friends still remember her with regret. Husband, A. GORDON.

A conindrum an insolvable tiddle; Stumps him ere he resofts the middle. Mistreated... Segregated... A sert; Black shoulders shake—with mirth. Though enduring poverty—privations. Dreaming dreams—without yet, their realization. Aliens are they... An outcast race. Bullied and tormented from place to place. Begrugged a living; as though living is a sin; Yet with all—they still continue to grin. But—the black man's smile is a cunning lie. For—though no one hears him utter a sigh. A heart may break. (Even in a black body) Through suffering . . . and treatment shoddy. The black man's a puzzle the white man can't understand Can you read what's in the black man's eyes? It's amazing.

The test you all have bravely stood. You need not hide your face in shame. But mighty proud you all should be. The road is open—on to fame. Is not your blood armed as wine. Your heart, an stungh as steel. Break the barriers,hew them down. Your lips they shall not seak. On land and sea in every port. We shall be no stranger: But timid—that we must not be. But welcome any danger. Who dares oppose us in our march? Bring forth that illity rat. Why does he fear the light of truth? After in our face he spat. Cut those ropes that bind us down. And let your arms swing free. Rip that bandage from your eyes. So that all can see. Let us all get together, United let us stand. Sweeping all before us. Like Hannibal's mighty hand! M. BERKQVITZ. Must We March On in Ignorance? Mr. Editor. Sir. Would you permit me space in the most valued paper in the world, to throw a little light on the teaching I received from the honourable leader, who came on the scene eleven years soon. After reeding The Negro World of May 1 and 15, it has caused my blood to thrill, when associated with men of my race who still see nothing else but selfish jims, and aggrandizement, harassing the progress of this noble organization. As our leader stated, in a late issue, of The Negro World, we need educated men to lead. He means educated men. He does not Look young. Keep your hair black. Lariense will do it in 15 minutes.

"It pains my very heart to see the additions of the men of my race, after eleven years of training from the greatest leader of the age. And no change has come to these men; some disowning their real birthplace, by making false malpunches. My mother always told me "A fair would be a thief, and a thief becomes a murderer," as one does not travel without the other. So, I hope the men of my race will read between the lines. Negro men. I pray God that you would read the signs of the times, and watch the lines of the daily newspapers; stop bickering and biting at each other; and unite for one common cause, getting equipped for the task, and be ready when the leader calls. Read the Evening Graphic of May 27, and you will see the new propaganda of somebody. But fellows, it's too late. Need not try the old trick. We must wake up, seize every opportunity to progress. We cannot afford to march along in the path of ignorance. We must realize the important part this race of ours will be called upon to play in the days to come, and begin at once to shape our courses for the dawning on that day. Therefore, I say, we cannot afford to march on in ignorance. Thanking you Mr. Editor, Yours for racial uplift, J. W. BELLAMY, Col. U. A. Leglons. It's Time By J. W. BELLAMY Col. U. A.

Away in front the enemy's firing line Where Negroes once were manoeuvering fine. For other people's heritage and right. While they themselves were taking flight. But now the battles are fought and won. The Negroes are told there is nothing to be done. He begged, he appealed, and prayed, in vain. But by his brothers he is still slain. Then came in our race a leader so grand. Who is teaching us seriously how to plan. But Today. Negroes are no longer hypnotized. DO YOU WANT LONG, THICK, SOFT BEAUTIFUL HAIR? Use Time. Mayne Jones.
