Charged with a spirit to go out to dare and do in the cause of Africa and the awakened Negro, the followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as led by Marus Carvey, gave every evidence that their determination to free themselves from servile bonds and secure a full and free enjoyment of the God-given liberties of the universe was in no way dimmed by the absences of their beloved leader; but that they were more than ever determined that the principles which had brought the organization into being would be perpetuated and grow stronger with time.

New meetings held within the last two months come anywhere to being near this, in intensity of firing, in point of attention, or in the manifestation of interest and enthusiasm. The Band, led by Prof. Uriah Hessell, resounded splendid musical selections, which added to the tone of the meeting. The U. A. Legions, the Black Cross Nurses, the Juveniles, and the Motor Corps and the choir, under direction of Mrs. Dume, were all in place, vicing with each other for the honors of the evening. There was the unusual Procesional, led by the U. A. Legions, under the command of Col. J. W.

Mr. Emily Caper, stalwart reverence of the early day of the U. N. L. A. and president of the Carver Cypress was present, and in high spirits, belying also the founder of Africa's chapelship and urging on the friends and members to rise to the call of the fatherland. The reading of the weekly message of the President-General, the Hon. Marcus Garvey was greeted with lusty cheer, and seemed to inspire afresh those who follow in his lead. Capt. Derrick, president of the Monroe Street Chapter, was among those on the platform, and an interested member of the great organization that is inspiring Negroes the World, goes to rally to the call of the Twentieth Century, and is made His accompanied by quite a number of hopefuls from his chapter, who also look devotedly forward to the freedom of the race, and the full and complete redemption of Africa. The singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem, and the repetition of the motto, "ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY," brought a very successful and interesting meeting to a close, near ten midnight hour, in perfect peace and harmony. To Fight Segregation Denotes Racial Stupidity To the Editor of The Negro World: A good physician is one who treats the cause of our affliction, thereby effecting a cure or permanent relief. While those who do no more than temporarily relieve our suffering are called "spineless," unfortunately, for the many of Negro people in the past, we have only had "leaders" of the great type, who have directed their attention to the effects rather than the cause of our trouble. How many of us have tried to discover the modern prompting aggregation? How many have tried to learn the underlying causes of racial prejudice? If we devoted more time and study to the causes of these reactions, we might learn more about the causes to pursue in avoiding a repetition of some. White civilization has taught that all mankind was created equal—but in practice it has assumed a social and political superiority. If actions speak louder than words, which should we believe—what they say, or what they do? Common sense dictates: If we know in advance, that an individual or people are likely to inflict humiliation and assault upon us, we should avoid such persons or places. While we sympathize with the embarrassment suffered by the wife of Congressman De Prentice as an aftermath of the White House Tea Party—what assurance did those white Southerners give any of us, that their attitude had been altered in the least toward the social intimacy of black and white people? We should not register surprise or indignation, but simple CONFIRMATION. ARTHUR S. GRAY. Los Angeles, Calif. Prospective Suitor (to proprietor of dried Bash shop): "Can I marry your daughter?" "What?" Suitor (feebly): "Two pennyworth of chips, please." Jamaica Witnesses Greatest Event gaelisations, and everything in Negro organization, almost without exception were represented in the procession; and the bright glowing sun of August lent added splendor to the gay colors of the attire worn by the thousands of marchers. And this brilliant parade, under the summer skies in Jamaica, as we only know it, presented to the watchers a scene that will never be forgotten. Thousands of converts to Garveyism are being made; and it will only be a matter of time, when the entire population, of not only Jamaica, but of the whole Carribean Archipelago will be following the U. N. N. A. Every tongue is talking of the convention; and hearts are beating high with expectancy for the things that will be said and done here during the month of August which noones destined to become the most historic month in the history of the Negro Peoples of the World.

For all the work that is to be done, we have to make extensive financial preparations, and it is for this reason that I am asking Negroes everywhere to do their best at this time in helping to change the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Meanwhile, you are, we are expecting you to send in a donation to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Below is Park, G. Hipa Road, St. Andrew, Jamaica, B. W. L., to help in the great cause of the redemption of our race and saving Africa. I am also making a special plea for the support of the new Black Star Line. Our shipping program for 1855-1858 is an elaborate one, but we can only carry it out when the institutional members of the race support it. If we must relieve the industrial segregation of the Negro, we must supply us with the funds necessary to launch out into big industries through which we will employ the millions who are now thrown out of employment. There is a great future in store for the Negro race of ours, but the future depends upon the action of the present. Let us pool our resources in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Life is for 1858-1850 subscribe at least 200 million dollars to help our organization put over its colonial program for the emancipation for our race, and the liberation of Africa. If each member of the race will make up in his and her mind to do something, the object can be accomplished. You may depend on us at this Convention to do the best we possibly can in electing the ablest and the best man to all the positives of leadership in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are endeavoring to sort out men so that we can give character and ability to the 400 millions who deserve honest and true leadership. It is for the names of our people everywhere to rally financially and morally in holding up the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green, so that the Universal Negro Improvement Association may carry on its work until all is accomplished. As President General of this movement, I again implore you to do your part financially and morally. Send in a donation right away. With very best wishes for success. I have the honor to be.

Marcell Stato Dear Africa, a home of loving people; Glorious Africa, a land of gold and diamonds; Precious Africa, a vault of wealth untold; Blessed Africa, a land of milk and honey— Like Chine, Africa Too, "Will Arise" Anglo-Saxons were in caves, naked, killing and eating each other—the Ethiopian, of which I am proud to be one, gave them their first civilization. Asia for the Asiatic! How dare any nations or men prevent us from sounding that clarkon call: "Africa for the African," those at home and abroad! God did not create us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. He made us free, as any other man or woman on earth. The Negro has the right to be free, just as the Chimanex, the Japanese, the Germans, the Englishmen, and everybody else. And so help us God, we are going to be free—or otherwise report to God why. We the new Negroes, are not just talking to 'he heard. We mean every word that we have uttered from our heart. If it lately dying to set us free—then we shall go, men and women, the brave soldiers fighting for freedom. We, the Negroes, too, are infused over the stage: African for the African, as the Chinese and Japanese alike. And we not nothing of the world but like play, and we are entitled to it, as he himself all empathetically does; and if we are denied when the time comes—we shall mourn deeply, four hundred embittered, their skin and women mourn our Independence League, the Sun. Mississippi, falling into death so hard! of the community. The claim is always made, "The white man must rule in South Africa." Yet the white man has proved absolutely impossible of and satisfied the ruling in national education; the attitude of government, have and of meeting one portion of the population against the other and a state of force prejudice, race war, constitutes the resistant features of the South African Situation. To remedy such a state of affairs, the rules of this land have been forced to resort to most unanticipated methods of restoring peace between the white and black race; by passing the Native Administration Act of 1897 which presupposes additions intentions on the part of the Black man which are however absent. The mouth of the weaker race is manified white that of the stronger is let loose and he can say, what his whims suggest against the weaker without suffering penalties of any kind whatsoever. An Illustrated Handbook The recent ill-advised Manifeste signed and issued by the three principal Members of the present Government, read together with the whole trend of their policy, such as their so-called civilized labour policy, their industrial Colour Bar Act of 1928, the seditious clauses of the Native Administration Act of 1927, their exclusive Old Age Passions Act of 1928, at census, has proved, most conclusively, that the Black man can no longer acquence in a state of affairs whereby he has no share, nor part, nor hand, nor voice, nor vote in the administration of the affairs of the land of his abode as well as in the shaping of its destinies. The terms in which the manifesto is couched are as highly offensive as they are provocative. The offensive term "Kakar" is employed therein no less than times, the avowed object being is stir the anti-Native passions of the white populace to such a height that when the appeal is made to Caesar in June next the popular vardert will be overwhelmingly in favor of the cry. "Away with the Cape Native Vote! Away with the Cape Native Vote!" "Crustify it!!! A Natronaniline Manifrote A Montenegro Manifesto It is however, most gratifying to notice that there is a strong and influential body of European opinion which is opposed to the policy of denying the Black man's rights of citizenship in the land of his father. The statemanlike Manifesto signed by among others, much eminent citizens as the ex-Chief Justice of the Union, the Arch-bishop of Capetown, an ex-Cabinet minister of state, and that staunch champion of human rights who is at present the military occupant of the Independent branch in the Union House of Assembly constitutes among other instances, a striking illustration of this re-ann- nelling fact which goes a very long way in pouring healing oil on the bleeding heart of the Black man. We cannot be too grateful to those self-sacrificing defenders of the cause of the helpless, voiceless races of this colour-prejudice-ridden land. Can to Bantu Leaders The whole situation constitutes the strongest and most overwhelming Call to the Leaders of Bantu thought to forget all differences of the past. "Come and reason together," Say in a round table conference as suggested by a resolution of the African National Congress which met at Bloomfontein in January last, agreed upon by the African Delegates who attended the recent European-Bantu Conference held at Capetown on the 6th of February and ably advocated in a recent letter of Mr. M. Pemel, President of the Bantu Union of the Cape Province and subsequently letters both now and before. The great urge of the moment is that the African must speak in no uncertain terms and make a frank and unequivocal declaration of what he believes to be his rights, duties, responsibilities, and privileges as a human being, a British subject, a devoted Citizen of the Union of South Africa, and a loyal son of the soil. He must finally tell the members of the ruling race that he is no longer prepared to accept any legislative proposals on the Franchise question unless these are the products of a National Convention in which all sections concerned are adequately and satisfactorily represented. Is this not the time to raise the cry, "No taxation without representation", "No Legislation without the consent of the people concerned", "No Government without the consent of the governed"? Equal rights for all subjects of the King. Thin Folks! Here's 5 Pounds of Solid Flesh or Money Back. Good News For Boys BOYS are in clover now.

M., respectively, Mr. R. H. Eaton, its able president providing. Official notice had been forwarded to the division by Mons. N. B. Browne, to the effect that Hon. J. A. Boltrum, former commissioner for the Straits Georgia would visit Newport News over the 30th of June, and the rest of July, for the purpose of exhibiting pictures showing the history of Singapore, together with the material accomplishments of President General Marcas Garvay; so of course, the audience was prepared to mathematically great him, but was carried quite beyond its antidilation by two remarkable addresses delivered by Mr. Boltrum, who swept all before him by keen logic, knowledge of his subject, and Sery consciousness. The preliminary exercises were conducted by the chapelman, Mr. Ridgell, assisted by Mr. T. R. Davis, vice-president and the choir. The speaker was introduced by President Haten, after a short talk by one of a group of native Africans, who being in the city had sought out Liberty Hall, and the burden of whose plea was closer co-operation of all black men that "Africa may be redeemed for the Africans." On Monday night, July first, an appreciative audience was present. By request all joined in singing "God Bless Our President," led by the choir, after which Master John Stancil, whose mother, an ardent supporter of Ourveyman, has seen to it that neither he nor she has missed but few meetings of the division since he was a child of exceedingly tender years, spoke briefly, urging his hearers to "Tilt your eyes to the sun," followed by the Hon. Mr. Broltram, who was introduced by At- New Non - Racial Franchise Asn. Recently there has been formed in the Cape Peninsular an Association known as the Non-racial Franchise Association. The establishment of this Association is a result of the determination of General Hertzog to deprive the Africans in the Cape of his vote as seen as an opportunity presents itself. A desperate effort has already been made by the leader of the Nationalists, fortunately for the Africans there is a notion of broad-minded white men who are equally determined that the natives shall not be deprived of a privilege, nay, a right which they have enjoyed for so many years. This distinguished group of Europeans are convinced that the blackman has proved himself a worthy citizen, capable of exercising his right with dignity. These gentlemen are of opinion that the time has come to extend the Franchise to the north to all deserving persons irrespective of race or colour. They wisely suggest that the qualification to gain the suffrage should be placed higher for both white and black. Hitherto the only qualification for a white man in the north is his colour. We hope that this Association will be supported by all broad-minded Africans, white and black alike, because we feel sure that General Simuts' proposed Convention will take as it is quite clear that even if General Hertzog is returned to power, he will fail to get a working majority, to say nothing of the two thirds majority necessary to disenfranchise the African. He will therefore have no alternative but to resort to General Simuts' suggestion. On the other hand it is quite possible that General Simuts will be returned to power in which case he will call the Convention he suggested. That Convention will be much more important than the 1890 Convention. As far as we are concerned, and Mr. Burtress made a short, preliminary talk, and proceeded to define the pictures which together with his timely comments held these present to rapt attention, and in the opinion of the reporter, produced such an awakening of those who were entirely ignorant of the past glory of their ancient fathers that their scene of feeling themselves inherently inferior is put in process of dissolution, even an darkness in the presence of light. Mr. C. B. Terrell, and Mr. W. J. Waters, as usual along with all whose names will be published later, efficiently rendered magnificent services for the success of the company, and President Bliss becomes an esteemed that he was moved to and did deliver an extemporaneous erosion that would have been creditable to a more studied preparation. During the day Attorney Midgett, a member of the Newport News bag, undertook the entertainment of Mr. Boltram, taking him to visit the various courts of the city in the morning, and visiting various places of interest, where he was able to meet many of the business and professional persons in the afternoon including Mr. R. L. White, of the Newport News Star, a Negro paper, with whom he lunched. Attorney Midgret, a member of division No. 6, for several years past, reports that Mr. Bokman, by his earnestness and clarity of expenation of the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A., seemed to make an impression favorable to those aims, in places where he has endeavored so to do, without apparent success. Long live Maras Garvey! Africa must be redeemed!

It gives me much pleasure to report that we are always striving to pull against the fall and rise of the tide of time. We are of good courage, know the aims and objects of our Leader at the head of adams. We who have no money can still help to put this grand and noble programmes over. By our prayers, we can, as prayers builds and breaks down. We are encouraged by different writers of the Negro World to stand up like men and be strong, and though our division is small and frail we shall be as Aaron holding up the prophet's hands. On the 4th of July, we spent a gala time having games. Such as Plat pole, Raffling of cakes, Coney Island and dancing. Miss Lilliam Wynter was in charge of the rattle which she presented from her own pocket and plat pole. Mr. C. M. Morrison, president, was in charge of the Coney Island and fine fun with roars of laughter and shouts. Full bands of music were in attendance. Even the Spaniards took part in our function, and made themselves merry. Night came on and a grand "balle" ensued. Miss Eurentia Wynter and Mr. Archelaus Russell were bartenders, but being of the softer sex the lady handled the softer drinks, and her little hands did ply. Now poor little brother Russell you could just imagine him when he was bellowed here and bellowed there to appease the appetite of the thirsty. Mrs. Mary Daley, who kept the key to the Ice Cream bucket stood on pegs to keep the hall cool which she really did. Mrs. Anderson was kept spell bound at the cake stand and a jolly good time was spent. We, as a people and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, express our sincere wish for the success of the Convention now at hand, and our hearty congratulations for those who shall find it in their power to be present to speak for AFRICA'S FREEDOM. May the time be speedily set forth when we shall stand under the BANNER OF THE RED, BLACK AND GREEN. MRS. J. G. ANDERSON, Reporter. Charleston, W. Va. On Sunday, July 7th, Rev. James Williams of the Adventist Church, delivered an eloquent sermon in which he made an interesting comparison between Garvayism and Religion. Rev. H. C. Cooper was the speaker for Sunday, July 14th. It was a most inspiring sermon on The Call To Leadership. He admonished his hearers to stand solidly behind their great leader when God has set apart as an instrument for the salvation of his people. Sunday, July 11th, witnessed an enthusiastic gathering of loyal Garvayism and Garvay sympathies. An atmosphere of determination for and confidence in the success of our forthcoming International Convention provided the meeting. In the absence of President S. B. Brown, new envoys to the convention at Deputy, Mrs. Dana Cooper second who presided, welcomed. W. T. Chilby addressed the meeting on keeping up the spirit of Gorwetson. Following a period dealing with some misunderstanding in the 1990s division that necessitated our diligent reports to the Negro World, we are again happy to report that through the faithful and uniting efforts of the true and tried of the grand old organization, and the safe and wise advice of the High Commissioner, Num. S. A. Haynes, we are able to continue the well begun program of more improvement and African Redemption. The High Commissioner was with us in June and July and delivered several wonderful addresses to the public which filled the hearers with inspiration and a determination to carry on. In a business meeting held the following officers were elected and approved by the High Commissioner; President, J. H. R. Gleaves; Executive Secretary, Mrs. Priscilla Rose; Treasurer, J. A. Mitchell; Chapman, Rev. E. W. Hogue; Lady President, Mrs. R. F. Womack; Lady Vice President, Mrs. Daly Campbell; Recording Secretary, A. R. Tata. A great ovation was given Commissioner Haynes by the Division at his departure. The exclusive program given by fifteen young people under the direction of Mrs. Campbell was a rare treat to the large and appreciative audience. Our mass meetings are held at 4:30 each sabbath. The Division will hold a thanksgiving service on the eve of the great International Convention to be held in Jamaica during the month of August. U. N. L. A. DEVISEON 301 The ship Indianapolis of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken on new officers and it seems they have put new life into the crew for as things are moving now, it will be only a matter of a few weeks when the organization will bear from Indianapolis in a big way. The sold here is ripe for the work and we believe that now there are the right kind of laborers to do the harvesting. On Tuesday, July 2nd, the Hon. K. K. Knox gave our division his second visit within a month. Through the wonderful impression he made on his last visit, he was greeted by a large audience. On this occasion he was even better than on his previous visit. The program for the day was in charge of Dr. Theo. M. Kakam, second vice-president. The president of the division, Mr. T. E. J. King, was the first speaker, and in a forceful and convincing welcome address, advised Negroes that now was the time for organisation. The Chaplain Rev. McKnight preceded the speaker of the day, he clearly demonstrated by his address, that his conversion into the U.N.I.A. was the result of long serious thought. The Hon. E. B. Knox was greeted with continued applause when he arose to speak and he was so eloquent and convincing in his fifty minute address that he held his audience spell-bound to the end. The arguments he set forth as to "Why the Negro should think for himself," were clear and convincing. Sunday, July 7th, was the long expected day, a day that the members of the division had been awaiting with great anxiety. It was advertised as the reunion of all the neighbouring divisions and we looked forward to entertaining representatives from Dayton, O., Cincinnati, O., Anderson, Ind, Gary, Ind, and Louis-Ville, Ky. We are not disappointed for every one of the above divisions sent a fairly good representation and Gary, the prime factor of the gathering, sent its famous band whose memory will linger long in the minds of those who had the pleasure to hear it. With the band came the President of the Gary Division, the Hon. C. James, also High Commissioner of New Jersey. The Louisville delegation also was accompanied by its president, Mr. Jackson. The day broke out with dark threatening clouds which made our hearts heavy indeed. The threatening rain finally came down about eleven o'clock and for three hours it rained so hard that it seemed every faucet in the heavens had been opened. However, Jupiter Phivirus took a pity on us and when we had despaired of having a parade, which was the feature of our gathering, he called a halt, and smilingly, came out Old Sol, beaming with rays of sunshine which soon put glamour and glamour where darkness and despair had regretted before. The parade started, though behind our appalled time, nevertheless we were glad to have it at any time and well did the Gury Band fill the air with inspiring strains of music as we wended our way through the streets of Indalampong, writing another chapter in the history of the U. M. L. A. in these parts. As the parole ended at Liberty Hall, Funeral service and 12th street, we found a large number of people surrounding our return. As we entered the hall, the band struck up "Owned Christian Sailor". The moving was then spun by the President, Mr. T. H. I. King, who announced the opening hours, "From Greenland by Kenneth". This was followed by the dignified program. After singing, "We Are Our President", the president then introduced the words of commendation, Dr. Thomas M. Johnson. After the service, 5 Miss. M. L. T. De Mann, Assistant International Organizer, U. N. L. A., now attending the sixth International Convention in Jamison, R. W. L. from the Lamentations of Jeremiah, 8th Chapter, he called on the Gary Band to render a selection and they responded by playing "The Cotton Pickers". Master Stephen Chambers of The Walnut Hills Division Cincinnati, recited the preamble to the constitution. Mr. Lafayette Buchanan, first Vice-President of the Indianapolis Division, then read the President General's message from The Negro World. Dr. T. M. Kakana then read a letter from the Mayer of the City, extending welcome to the representatives of the various divisions who had come to Indianapolis to make this day a big day for the U. N. L. A. dent Mr. Ed. Bell, who gave us an encouraged spirit to go onward and keep the faith, until the goal has been reached. The next speaker was Mrs. Hattie Vall, 2nd, Lady Asst. President. Mrs. Vall spoke briefly but impressively. She said that something is going to be done after the Convention and warned all to keep a watchful eye and to keep financial with the Organisation for we know not who Mr. Garvey will choose. The next speaker was Dr. J. E. Hurt, who is chairman of our Advisory Committee, who gave us some everyday practical suggestions and asked everyone to rally to the cause for which Mr. Garvey is fighting. After the Band had given another selection, the President of the Indianapolis Division arose to deliver the welcome address of the local division. He was followed by that warhorse of the U. N. I. A., Dr. A. H. Maloney, who when he speaks leaves you thinking seriously. He was at his best and delivered one of those masterly and inspiring addresses for which he is noted. Following closely at his heels was the President of the Gary division, who impressed us as the son of thunder. Mr. Jackson, president of the Louisville division, was the closing speaker and brought to a close a meeting that will song be remembered by those who witnessed it. The meeting closed by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. There were on the platform besides the speakers, Dr. DeHonlesta of Indianapolis, Mrs. Hattie Glascar and Major J. H. Neely of Dayton, Ohio, Mr. White of Gary and Rev. McKnight of Indianapolis. THEODORE M. KAKAZA, Acting Reporter. St. Louis, Mo. Sunday, July 28th, was a joyful day for St. Louis Division No. 162. The meeting was opened promptly at three o'clock by singing the Opening Ode. The devotional exercises which were conducted by Chaplain Jessie White were carried out splendidly. The first speaker was Vice-Presi- I AM YOUR FRIEND ONLY $1.98 Donations to the Negro World dent Mr. Ed. Bell, who gave us an encouraged spirit to go onward and keep the faith, until the goal has been reached. The next speaker was Mrs. Hattie Vall, 2nd, Lady Asst. President. Mrs. Vall spoke briefly but impressively. She said that something is going to be done after the Convention and warned all to keep a watchful eye and to keep financial with the Organisation for we know not who Mr. Garvey will choose. The next speaker was Dr. J. E. Hurt, who is chairman of our Advisory Committee, who gave us some everyday practical suggestions and asked everyone to rally to the cause for which Mr. Garvey is fighting. Dr. Hurt is one of our most willing workers and one of St. Louis' best physicians. Mr. Joel Edmonds, former Executive Secretary of Division 162, now Acting President of Division 162, followed. In his short, impressive, soul stirring speech, Mr. Edmonds asked the audience not to cheer him nor give him any applauses; and stated that he wanted no honors. We feel proud of his spirit; but in spite of his request he received applauses after applauses as the high pitched spirit of Garveyism continued to soar. We had several visitors who encouraged us to fight onward for the end is not yet. Mrs. L. McDougal, our Executive Secretary read two telegrams and a letter from our president, Mr. A. J. Johnson, who is attending the Great Convention in Kingston, Jamaica B. W. I. Mrs. McDougal also read the front page of a copy of "The Blackman", our daily newspaper. Every one seemed to be greatly impressed with Mr. Garvey's message in The Blackman as well as with his message in Our Official Organ, the Negro World. The Negro World was read by Mrs. C. V. Cawley. The National Anthem was sung promptly at six o'clock and every one was filled with the highest enthusiasm. Punta Alegre, Cuba On Sunday, July 7th, being the first Garvey's Day celebrated after the unveiling of our Charter, our Liberty Hall was full to its capacity with members and visiting friends. Our meeting then started at 3 p.m., the officers in their regalia while the Black Cross Nurses marched in procession on the broma "Shine on Eternal Light" was being sung, followed by the opening ode. The ritualistic service was conducted by the Chapelin, Mr. Barron G. White. The scripture lesson was read from the 13th book of Judges, 13th verse, and at the class of the spiritual part of the meeting, the president funnelled into the department part with an interesting address appointing the reason for darwey Day, after which the hyme from the ritual, "Black, My Soul, It is the Lord," was being sung during which the collection was made, then the front page of the Negro World was read by the vice-president. The president then introduced Prof. W. H. Hunt, a stranger to the town. Mr. Hunt then rose and after addressing the chair, gave an inspiring address telling us as new members how we should work for the redemption of our Motherland Africa applause).

On Monday night, the 5th, a wonderful performance was given by Prof. Hunt in our Liberty Hall for which cause he had come. The house was packed to its capacity and everybody was well-pleased. MURRIEL HENRY, Reporter. Hodge Kirnon Delivers Brilliant Lecture at Asbury On Sunday, July 28, Hedge Kirkum well known in New York as a lecturer and writer delivered an address before the members and friends of the Ashbury Park branch of the U. N. I. A. on "Marcus Garvey and his criticism." He was likened to by an enthusiastic which enjoyed the speakers carefully documented selections taken from the writings of the critics of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. Several speakers from the door commanded Mr. Kirkum on his able presentation of the subject. Before launching into the main discourse, he prefaced it by a lengthy analysis and exposition of the social background out of which the movement grew, and the various factors favorable to its development. Mr. Kirton expressed his desire to speak at any time before other branches of the U. N. I. A. or any other group interested in vital subjects pertaining to the Negro Question — economic, social-religious and other essential phases of this most vexed problem of the social issues of our day. He can be reached at 31 West 129th street, New York City. The President- General Says The excuse that some of our most brilliant men give for not identifying themselves with race movements is that they cannot tolerate the interference of the illiterate Negro, who, being a member of the same organization, will attempt to dictate what you should do in the interest of the race, when his act is based upon no deeper judgment than his like or dislike for the person he is opposing, or the satisfaction it would give him to embarrass the person he feels like opposing. Many an able leader is lost to his race because of this fear, and sometimes we must admit the reasonableness of this argument; but, as I have said, leadership means martyrdom, leadership means sacrifice, leadership means giving up one's personality, giving up of everything for the cause that is worth while. It is only because of that feeling that I personally continue to lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because, like every other leader, I have had to encounter the opposition, the jealousy, the plotting of men who take advantage of the situation, simply because they happen to be members of the organization, and that we may have to depend upon their vote one way or the other for the good of the cause. Not that some of us care one row of pins about what the other fellow thinks, but when it is considered that we can only achieve success through harmony and unity, then it can be realised how much one has to sacrifice as a leader for getting that harmony that is necessary, to bring about the results that are desired. MARCUS GARVEY. Sunday, July 5th—The Smith-Davis time Chapter, member B.A. Smith prograding with the program at U. N. I. A. We came out playing in large numbers.

On July 18th we were trusted with the presence of Mr. S. R. Wheat, of Chicago, "The world's wonder". We are always glad to have men of the race like him, who are following the program that Mr. Carvey brought to us. We hope to see him with us again. Mr. Campbell acted as master of ceremonies.

XXVI. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1929 No. 1 MOULDING OUR DESTINY Mind is the master power that worlds end makes, And Man is Mind; And overmore he takes CONSCIOUS of the fact that man can make of himself whatever he wants to be; conscious also of the fact that no race of men is superior to any other race, except in so far as the one race develops its talents, its powers of body and mind, and makes use of the advantages at hand and the opportunities which present themselves to view, or which are created, the Negro Peoples of the World have elected representatives, and sent them by the hundreds to Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies, to discuss, and to formulate plants, and make decisions, which will decide the future destiny of the race, which in short will mark the destiny of this race of ours. The world stands today with hated breath awaiting the decisions that will be made at Kingston. Those decisions will go down in history, for weal or for woe to the Negro Peoples of the World. They will, either tell the world that Negroes, conscious of their God-given powers are at last awake to the fact that destiny is in their own hands, and have consequently resolved to shape that destiny, as is best suited to the development of the people of the Negro race, irrespective of the jeers and criticisms of the men of any other race; or they will stamp us as foul cowen, who blamed from the helm, when the wind of public opinion flow hardest, or most adversely. The great question that confronts us now, on this historic occasion, in the opening days of the Twentieth Century is whether we are in ternest, or whether we are only making a feeble grimace before the men of all creation. The men and women who will legislate and decide for us Negroes during the thirty-one days and nights of this month of August, in the must realise that some of the images will be broken, some fetiches will have need of the supremeest qualities that go to make men and women fit, and worthy to represent a race four hundred million strong, a race that is striving on ever onward and upward, to a place in the sun, struggling against every form of oppression and obstruction that has ever been heaped up on any people, or placed in their way. They will need time and again during this month to recharge their souls, and revivify their spirits, as they go forth to attack and solve the problems at hand. They must realize that some of the images will be broken, some fetiches will have to be discarded, and in many instances the conventional will have to be set aside, to give leeway and elbow room to the aspirations of a race that has done so much in the service of humanity; for this is decision time. Under the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as led and directed by Marcus Garvey, we Negroes have come to the place in our existence, where there can be no turning back. Honor, duty, manhood, and every just and righteous virtue demand that we face the future and all its consequences with all the vigor of manhood, and all the sternness of mien which men call up to their assistance. We shall have to throw aside old customs, and shall have to tackle the problems at hand with such courage and so much vigor that all creation must weep in adorable bliss. Vibrant with hope, and pulsating with the great and unquenchable desires for freedom from every form of oppression, and hindrance which now, and at any time in the future may rise up in our pathway, and hening with enthusiasm, urged on by the impelling force of the Spirit of Infinity, we must prove to the world that we are heroes, that we are not afraid to stand up for the things which we know and feel are right, and which are essential to our fullest development as a race and people. We must be ready to make mankind realize that we are also not afraid to die, if need be, in the cause of the uplift of the Negro Peoples of the World, and the ultimate redemption of our fatherland Africa; restored to her sons and daughters, the rightful heirs to that land, with a right that cannot be controverted by any man-made enactment; with a title, the morality or legality of which is beyond question: and if such in truth is our earnest conviction, then, like as were the heroes of the past, we shall have to show to all creation, that we too, are men and women of heroic valor, stalwart, stern, ironclocks. Being the hour of decision, we shall have so to shape our actions henceforth to that end, the end of the complete and all-round emancipation of the Negro race, and the final and ultimate redemption of Africa. Nothing short of freedom can justify the Negro of the Twentieth Century. Nothing short of freedom can satisfy our souls, and our high desires. Nothing short of freedom can square us with the Father of All Creation. We are unworthy creation of a beneficient Creator if we fail to justify His expectations, if we fail to be men; if we fail to decide during this month, that now, and forever, we shall throw aside every form of limitations and shall set out to achieve in this age so easily, so justly, so honorably, so purposefully, and so magnificently, that we shall command the respect and admiration of all creation. It must better far that all this race of Negroes were to die by the edge of life, armed, fighting for that full free measure of justice, liberty and the world begins, because of the impatience of the children, and the perfect which his problems must have, on no large and so potentially great a group of children of the All-Wise Creator of the Universe, we are hereby reminding our fellows, that we are behind them, the entire race of Negroes depending on their decisions. We want to remind our delegates that the Universe itself, intent, is gushing down upon them, and consequently upon us. Men and brethren, WHAT WILL YOUR ACTING TELL? WHAT HIGH IDEALS WILL YOU LIFT UP, POR OTHER HEARTS TO SEE, BELIEVE, AND LIVE AGAIN? AND WILL THE WORLD BE BETTER, SINCE YOU MET DOWN THERE? YOU CANNOT, MUST NOT FAIL. Failure will mean oblivion; failure will mean the most tragic disaster that has ever come to any race of man. Most the obligations of the hour, like heroes true and bold. Render decisions that God and all creation must respect; and we, the remainder of the race, who are awakening your reports, from many, many shores, alike to all mankind, will, baring our breaches to every storm that blows; and flinging the colors of the red, black and green, to the winds of this century, will go forward, breaking every barrier down; blasting aside every opposition in our upward, onward march to freedom, and to glory, scaling every height that leads to greatness, dehouch on the plains of Africa, marching to possession, like unto the Israelites of old, never laying our armor down till every form of oppression and hindrance to man's advancement is banished from the earth; or report to God, he reason why. MENCEFORTH NEGROES, IT IS FORWARD, STANDING BY THE GREAT DECISIONS THAT WILL BE MADE AT KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. L, LIFTING ANEW THE BANNER OF FREEDOM, AND NEVER RELAXING OUR EFFORTS "TILL AFRICA IS FREE." A SOUND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE NOW, while Negro hope is running high, when the very atmosphere seems charged with a vibrant, quivering, quickening element calling us to great and noble deeds, let us not forget, that in all our deliberations, there is one element, one force which will have to be taken into consideration; which we cannot afford to ignore, if our plans for advancement are to be given the fullest opportunity for success. That element which is so much needed, which is not peculiar to the successful working out of the plans, not alone of Negroes, but of all peoples and races anywhere is money. In order to have at hand, in our command, sufficient resources in money and the things which money alone can provide, we must have A SOUND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE This is one of the items on the agenda of the Sixth International Convention; and we are therefore urging upon the delegates to that gathering the importance of this particular item. To a great extent, our future success depends upon it; upon the way in which it is treated. The world is so adjusted today that there is the imperative need for money in all its transactions. There may be a time when we will have another medium of exchange; but that is not here yet. We must therefore take the situation as it is, and solve the money problems attached thereto. Everywhere on earth where the Negro comes into contact with the people of other races there is an unrest, a disatisfaction, caused mainly by the fact that hitherto we have been all too dependent on the goodwill of other races. Now, the time has come when we must shift for ourselves. There are many among us, who seem to sense a great calamity coming to us because the white man in particular, is not providing jobs for us, for our sons and daughters, as he has hitherto done, in countries like America. But there is really no reason for calamity howling. There is reason to rejoice in that the friends have seen the wisdom of allowing us to swim for ourselves, and are deciding that it is time for us to swim. As long as men are dependent on the kindness of heart of other men, they fail to develop the power of will, the stamina, the resourcefulness, and the vision necessary for the successful conduct of their own affairs. Hence, when we realize this, we ought to rejoice that at last we will have to depend upon our own efforts. Men and races develop faster, and more successfully, and achieve greater things when they have to depend on the resources of body, soul and spirit; and the Negro is no exception to the rule. We, taking hold of the advantages of the present day; realizing that by our friends shaking us they are really doing us great service, have great opportunity to prove our mettle to the world and its Creator, to prove our ability, our fitness to survive. Having realized all this, let us make this another decision, to take ourselves seriously, in a business way, and start out to build a sound economic structure for the race. We must sink our financial shafts deep down into the bedrock of the world's resources. We must build businesses, stable and secure, that can weather all the panics of the ages. We must pool our finances, for this is the age of co-operation, and rear strong monuments to the sagacity, and ability of the Negro in business. We must venture, boldly forth, after careful training, into the various lines of human endeavor. We must make our impress upon the sensibilities of this universe. We must stamp our calibre upon the every activity on this planet. There is no avenue of human endeavor that is a closed door to the people of the Negro race today, if we will only realize the power that will not yield its rich profits to us, if we will put as much energy and enthusiasm and earnestness as we put into things that do not matter; into things that do not lead us anywhere. "BUILD, BUILD, BUILD," is the divine injunction to the people of the Negro race today. The voice of Inspiration is echoing the call. Negroes can no longer reman idle, awaiting the dole from the white man's table. Stop wasting your resources. We throw away enough every year to rear great industries. Let us save these wasted sums, pool them in the interest of the advancement of the race. Learg the best methods of business. Re-invest the profits from your investments. Study every avenue of business. Know your line thoroughly. Do not take anything for granted. Leave nothing to chance. Study methods of efficiency, for the best production and profits. Then face the world, on A SOUND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE: AND SUCCESS IS BOUND TO COME. Editorial Opinions of the Negro Press We must stand upon our own feet. Every tuh, the old folks used to say, must stand on its own bottom. In all these fine prostrations of a Negro Congressman, his speedy appointment of Negro youths to the Nation's military and naval academies, should be like a fire-brand in firing up the public of Negro people all over the country. We should be standing on our tips in an effort to deprive Dr. Prentiss in Congress. It can be done. It must be done at the earliest opportunity—St. Lester Husband. My native land, my native land. For which our heroes courage rage, We being enlightened of the fact, My native brotherland must gain. Editor Negre World: Allow me space in your valuable weekly. The Negro World, to give expression to my feelings. After reading the editorial of the front page article of July 18, written by the Sam Marvin Carvey, under the caption "Mam." To the thoughtful mind, to the sober intellect, I feel the truer consciousness of self, am determined to follow the V to a successful issue. It has been truly and logically stated that if 400,000,000 Negroes have awakened to the consciousness, there will be every possibility to achieve our goal. The unusual Negro Improvement is the most wonderful and comprehensive of any of its kind, teaches the Blackman to develop courage, faith, will, vision, character and manhood, must realize the blessings of creation, must be unified of responsibility and stand the test of time. When one learns and sees the character of other races and nations, must it not inspire us to nationalhood? The whole world is standing against, wondering what will be the outcome of the sixth international Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, and the representation at the League of Nations for a proper adjustment of the Negro rights. Realizing that we form part of this great human family, therefore, we claim the common Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man. "The time has come when we must take ourselves seriously." Observing the improvement in the Negro world, the coming together of the Negro businesses in the United States of America, the deminished Negro press, the splendid historical matter given out by the columns of foreign affairs, the feature section, the weekly health talks, the weekly religious talks, the news and views of U. N. I. A. divisions, should make many men and women of us. Therefore, I must congratulate all those who are working for the good and welfare of humanity, and to make this paper the best weekly. I am yours for the Cause. R. A. CHARLES, Field Worker. To the Editor of the Negro World: The Associated Press released on July 18th the information that all Negroes living in North Platte, Nebraska, U. S. A. had been driven from their homes and residences by an infuriated mob of whites, merely because a white policeman had been slain by a Negro who resisted arrest—and later committed suicide rather than be captured. Approximately 200 families were included in the hurried exodus. Here rests the contributing causes for America's moral decay and subsequent disrespect for law and order. Mob rule has paved the way for this nation's decay, disintegration, and collapse. Race prejudice will haunt and distress the Negro until he arouses himself from his subconscious state of delusion. When the police force sberiff, governor and other authorities are unable to curb mob formation, what hope has the unprotected victims for safety? In the North we have been lynched separately—now in the North we are persecuted collectively. Why should those persons have disturbed innocent, law-abiding members of our race, just because the man that they sought had cheated them? Race hatred—that is the answer. When will this abused race of our realise that this characteristic is just beneath the surface of the average white individual—all of their beaten Christianity notwithstanding. For the Negro people of America to longer trust their future and security with the prejudiced whites, to be believe that fire will not burn dry grass or explode vascular! Africa is calling us, why do we carry? ARTHUR B. GRAY. Los Angeles, Calif. some, but we pay great attention to preparing our children and give them the training when we have not all been trained in Washington programs when in a third period of time. Let us not deal with anything that does not help us in preparing for future. Stop bringing of Great Britain, Holland and her diplomatic, Germany, "Great Britain" and her war with Denmark, Germany and her fighting machine, United States military and her war, and develop time in studying the means of fighting enemies from this area which is confronting us. We must now our wisdom and courage and fall in love. Youne have shaped since the Brounville Marvin Garvey presided and pointed out the way to uplift the race; don't fail to get such teaching. "Wake up Brothren!" sleep no longer; habebel the robbers are an am, arise now, best we perish forever! We have got the foundation now to know whom we are and what we can do, so let's be ambitious. Join the U. N. L. A. no matter where you are, help the cause no matter where you live, its benefits we will all reap. Think of the coming Convention, one of the greatest events in history of the Negroes of the world, see Mom. Marcos Garvey, think of the wonderful demonstration, listen to the Negro artists address, and the harmonious times of our Negro women, note the great accomplishments of the sons of Ethiopia who were kept apart from each other for hundreds of years, fancy the big time, therefore, let's book now for Kingston, Jamaica. May the grieve of God ever be with our noble leader, Emm. Marcos Garvey. VINCENT DARIUS. Punta Alagro, Cuba. A Farewell Advice We who have thus elected these To represent our cause. Are wishing you a fond farewell. With joy and ecstasy. Prove thou thyself a solemn true That's worthy of his steel And we will always think of you in terms of solemn zeal.

Farewell again, we say to thee May He Who guides the sun From East to West, both night and day So guide and comfort thee. Bon voyage! Au revoir! But not farewell! Dedicated to the delegates of the Brooklyn Div., and the East Brooklyn Chapter of the U. N. I. A. on their departure to the Convention. Victor Geo. Cohen. To the Editor of the Negro World. Dear Sir: Please permit me space in your weekly to state the following: The time is fast approaching for the greatest conclave of Negroes; under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Millions of hearts will be centered on that one objective. The sixth international convention of the Negro peoples of the World, which shall formulate plans, to be nurtured by us for better prosperity. It will be the greatest of all conventions. Our Leader the Hon. Marcus Carvey, who has caused the biggest stir in the World, has told us that convention will be handled with the best of statesmanship. Let us pray that those who shall take part, will give their undivided attention, and judge without prejudice the subjects that will be submitted for consideration. For they will be for the good and welfare of four hundred million black men women and children, and not for individual interest. It will be manifestly impossible for one to understand by witnessing one brief scene—a subtle plot. It is equally impossible for men looking only at the present developments of the association to understand the perplexing problems it has undergone. Men have tried to impress us with the uncertainty of its development. That darkness of uncertainty was illuminated by our indesirable leader; through the continued flow of relentless love, the continual encouragement from his accumulated knowledge the continual flow of inspiration that has magnified our hearts, and caused them to beat true, and still trure for the Cause of Africa's redemption. The stage for keeping us apart, has been set for centuries. Kingdom have seen and fallen. Great men have appeared and after acting their part in the drama have disappeared. The contending forces against us have engulfed back and forth. There were times when the evil forces caused to have battles and truth and seemed well right, unrepentant. But in going way the right way obliged them. From participating to have come from South Africa to Stuttgart and changed with visiting wives, and it is hoped that it will throw off its identity the Black Protestant the entire globe, and as closely them with the spirit of freedom, and sovereign independence—that's the rising of our Congress now in session in Jamaica the Associated Press will be served to host to the world.—Africans have taken the field to make African safe for the Black Race. The African World reports that Black patients at home in South Africa are bitter over the recent cheeks of Herteng, and they are on the verge of revolting against their oppressors while the oppressors themselves are at variance over the method to be applied to keep Black Africa white--- it is laughable, because both parties profess to have the interest of the natives at heart, and yet, they are out to distract and if possible interrogate them. How in the face of this and its the light of reason can black men trust white folk? That is why we Negro Nationalists proclaim the gospel of self determination. We believe in the doctrine of Bigness of Race, Equality of Political social opportunity and in the doctrine of universal Human suffrage. That is why we say that what is good for the grue, is better for the gander. That is why we are willing to let white men have their say go in white countries, and by the same measuring red we allow the same equal and justifiable allotments to red, brown and yellow men, and by the same red, we have measured out Africa for ourselves. The Kafka's, I understand, are worked up to the breaking point over the recent acts and utterances of the Hortong party propaganda about making South Africa a white man's country. That can never be. Africa is the black man's country and it will remain so. Thought to be so now, actually, not only numerically, but politically. It is ours by right of race and heritage. It is temporarily Europe', but we will make it ours by a yet glorious right, the right of reconquest: It is also rumored that Angiolaean, and other Nordic political and scientific propagandists are out to conquer Africans eliminating hostility so as to secure themselves a service domesticity there. But, try as they may, the thing cannot be done for I am certain they will never be able to change the geography, the typography nor the peculiar hemispheric conditions which, along with the terrain of the country are very hostile, and uncomfortable to them. Africa is the house of the Blacks. It is so designated by the Creator, that is why it is conducive to their habitation and destructive to others, and any attempt to change the Divine plan must surely end in failure. NEW YORK CITY.—(CNB)—MARTIN L. Jackson, of the Washington Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, answering the call sent out by Marcus Garvey, founder of the movement, sailed from here last week on the Casanova, for Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., to attend the sixth annual internation convention of Negro Peoples of the World. The convention will be in session during the entire month of August and is prepared to take up an agenda which includes all phases of the problems confronting the Negro peoples of the world. (Special cable to The N. Y. Times KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 1. Edithwe Park was packed this morning when the Garvey convention opened with divine service, which was attended by the Mayor and members of the Kingston Corporation. In the afternoon a procession of 12,000 marched through the streets with hands, hammers and outriders. Garvey was in a naval uniform. The Black Cross Nurses, Bay Scouts, girl girls and delegates were garbed in all the colors of the rainbow.

"LANT MISBEHAVIN": Paul Bass screams to daily Margaret Shumu (above) in the song hit of Countrys "Hot Chocolate," at the Madison Theatre. Who would? JACK HOBBS Judging from the results of the Test matches, South Africa was probably over-awed by the reputation of England; their triumph in Australia. At Birmingham, South Africa was practically placing herself on the defensive, in the third Test, when England had been got out cheaply and the only hope of a South African victory within three days was to get runs quickly. They lost a great chance. In this match, Mitchell took 7 hours to score 86 runs, and in the craze for speed scoring he has not escaped the castigations of the critics; but England has many instances of Test batting as slow, and not a few that put Mitchell's effort in the shade. In the old days George Giffen once batted 40 minutes without scoring. W. H. Murdoch batted two and one-half hours for 19. A. C. Bannerman 2 hours for 15. This pair, in the same game at one period, played 14 consecutive maiden overs. They had other feats of this sort to their credit. During the England vs. Australia Test match at Adelaide, the season of 1920-21, Kelleway earned the nickname of "Rock of Gibraltar," when he took 7 hours to score 147 runs. What made Kelleway's effort such a trial for everybody concerned, and especially for the fielders was that the innings extended over three days, and throughout, the heat was so intense: on one day the mercury registered 150 degrees in the sun. One can imagine the bowl with with these exhibitions of "masterly inactivity" would be received these days. St. Ktss C. C. Defeast The first venture of the Bermuda Sporting Club was a failure on account of rain. The widely heralded match between the West Indian C. C. and the Cosmopolitan League's Pick had to be postponed last Saturday. The elements was a little kinder the following day. Sunday. Drifting clouds and a stiff wind was somewhat of a set-back for an ideal cricketing day. CRICKET! They're Here! CRICKET! The First Three Opening Matches of Their Tour Visiting Bermudian Cricket Team vs. All Antigua, Thursday, August 8th vs. New York League Pick, Saturday, August 10th vs. St. Kitts C. C., Sunday, August 11th To be published in European Cricket Quarterly ... Despite this handicap, some 600 odd cricket devotees turned out to witness an interesting scrap between two keen rivals, the local Bermudian C. C. and the St. Kitts C. C. Everyone present, except the St. Kitts players, took it for granted that Bermuda would tuck the scalp of St. Kitts in their belt. St. Kitts, with the thought of the visiting Bermudians, that they are scheduled to play next Sunday at Dyckman Oval, uppermost in their minds, strove with might and main to prove themselves worthy of the honor. Result: when the smoke of battle had cleared, Bermuda lay vanquished; to the great delight of St. Kitts adherents. The score was, Bermuda 55. of which H. Richardson contributed a nicely played 21 and John Robinson, an appreciable 15. St. Kitts replied with 85. Karl Margelson being the star of the day, compiling 44 runs in masterly fashion. ENGLAND WINS MANCHESTER, England, July 30. —South Africa was defeated in the fourth Test cricket match by England today. This game proved to be the rubber. The standing is, drawn 2 and 2 wins for England. South Africa can now, like the Arabs, "fold their tents and steal silently away." It was a woefully weak team South Africa sent out, judging by Test standards. They failed to make it interesting. The attendance fell off after the first Test. When the last wicket fell today there was hardly 1,000 spectators present. The previous Saturday, England had declared after totaling 42 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Rain fell heavily. A. P. Freeman, the Kent twist-ball trunder ruined any slight chance the Tourists had of even drawing the match. South Africa made 130 runs in their first innings and in their second, lost three men for 15. On the start of play today, S. A. needed 282 runs to save it from a single innings defeat. At one time, Freeman had an average of 15 overs, 7 maidens, 38 runs for 5 wickets. At another, he bowled 6 overs during which only one run was scored. He was ably supported by brilliant Salding and A-1 wicket-keeping by Duckworth. The latter only permitted three hard byes to pass. The South Africans were all out today for 285 runs of which Taylor contributed 70 and Cameron 83. They started their second innings with 7 of their batmen intact, and 282 runs batted. Cricket Stars Arrive Fresh from their seasoning in the islands of Bermuda and Jamaica, cricket luminaries are pouring into New York bent on conquest. Cricket history is in the making. Mestra. J. K. Holt and George Headay, two of the most prominent cricketers in the island of Jamaica, accepting the invitation of the Jamaica Athletic Club arrived last Monday on the S. S. Cleba. These two men have gained a world-wide reputation; known throughout the West Indies as the "Old and Young Master" respectively. Headley scored 211 runs against Lord Tennyson's cricket team that toured the islands last year. J. K. Holt contributed 126. They will be here for a month's stay. Interesting matches will no doubt result. The fans are in a fever of excitement. A complete team of Bermudians landed the same day. The Visitors will be domiciled at the Hotel Dumas for the duration of their stay. More than forty odd adherents followed the team to New York; assuring them of their moral support. The playing personnel consists of: Capt. Charles M. Fox, Amon Hunt, Vice-Capt; Alma Hunt, Eric Hunt, O. Simons, C. Philpot, E. Gilbert, S. Tucker, E. Swainson, A. Steede, D. Nearon, E. Watson, A. Durant, A. Halyard and Darrrell. All of the matches to be played by the Bermudians in August, will be at Dyckman Oval (West side subway to Dyckman street and Broadway). The first game is scheduled for Thursday, August 8th, against All Antigua. Saturday, August 10th, Visitors vs. New York League's Pick. Sunday, August 11th, Visitors vs. St. Kitts C. C. Starlight Park is not appropriate for cricket so a late change had to be made to Dyckman Oval. West side Van Cortlandt subway trains stop right at the grounds.

To Edward G. Cahill, Sports Editor, Negro Worth, 821 Leroy Avenue, New York City. CHARLIE HARVEY is going to load his big New England heavyweight, Tom Money, down to the Boxing Commission host Friday, for the purpose of demanding that Tom be named heavyweight champion to succeed Ono Tunney, retired. It will be remembered that the late Sir Richard started Tom on the Dayton contender. He said he considered his record the best of all the contenders, therefore entitled to the shot of the crown which he got just a year ago and was defeated. Inasmuch as the team wipe promoted the fight as well as most experts at the time, considered history the most worthy opponent of all for the famous mischievous athlete, the thought struck Harvey, like a divine inspiration the other day that much as Norway was judged the most formidable rival at the time he should have been designated as champion long ago. Harvey says that Harvey after he gets through with his heart with Victoria Campelo at Illinois Field, a week from Wednesday night, would be perfectly willing to fight for the title anybody the Commission named over the fifteen round route and if he again emerged a winner he'd defend the title against anybody the public demanded. A few months ago Tom didn't care who had the title, but once more he is back in perfect health and able to perform again in his old-time style, as he proved by his easy victory over Rioux, Canadian heavyweight champion, recently. "Maybe the Commission will laugh at us," said Harvey. "but you can't be arrested for trying. Anyway we're going to fight our way to the top of the heap, even though the trie of boxing fathers thrown us down.

WOND'RIN' What has become of all the musicians now that the movies have been synchronised? Why West Indian C. C. has been so exorbitant in their demands on the Bermuda Sportin' Club; making a guarantee of twice as much as they have ever received to meet the Violin' Bermudian? Sometimes it is best to ignore the champions when they make excessive demands. Ask the Garden management. Business Man: "Do Benson finally married his typet?" Friend: "Yes; she felt that he had distracted to her long enough." W. C. HANDY Composer of the World's Tragedy "SAINT LOUIS BURKE" Acknowledgement of Supporters By H. G. S. him, is the event he breaks or violates any law. No bosser or promoter is bigger than the boxing game. Those boxers and promoters who think they are, should be ostracised from the game completely and the sooner this is done the better. Wake up for the love of Pete. Wake up and find yourselves, commissioners. WORDS come to my desk that Kid Chocolate has been signed by the Garden promoters to meet A Singer at the polo grounds on August 20th. I was made to understand a few days ago that the Kid was booked to take on Bud Taylor at Ebbets field on August 7th, for Humbert Fugany. Now the report comes from Taylor's manager that Bud is suffering from the effects of an injured hand. I think Taylor bit off more than he could chew here, and when he woke up to realize his mistake, told his manager to sound the retreat. I think that Mr. Gutteriez should give Mr. Fugazy and McMahon first call, as they have given Chocolate more work than the Garden people. It was through these two promoters that the Kid met and defeated some if not all of the toughest opposition in the featheryweight division. Having done this, naturally places him at the top now, naturally places him on top the Garden, oh, my, the garden combination wants to grab him to make the heavy dough. Well, Mr. Gutteriez, never attempt to bite the hand that made you, always be conscious of the fact that those that help you to climb should not be overlooked after you have ascended the heights. It does not pay to be selfish. Try and steer clear of selfish promoters. If you do this you will be thought better of. Personally, I do not think much of the Garden people. Ebbets field is plenty large enough to stage a Chocolate-Singer bout. Your purse might be a little smaller, but what does a few dollars mean to anyone, when there is a principle involved. Remember, money is not the only thing we live for, also remember the Garden folks stand suspended too, if they go through with the Schmeling-Sharkey bout. Never mind the rush to get the papers signed before this goes into effect. Everyone knows if their attitude toward the betting commission continues, will put them in a bad way. Watch out, boys. KID CHOCOLATE departed from THE time is drawing near for the Olympic Sporting Club in 1351th Street East to throw open its doors for the fall and winter season. I want to go on record as requesting at this time that the management of said club gives us as many mixed bouts as possible. I have heard too many complaints coming from the community fight fans, that there is not enough mixed bouts to warrant their continued support at this club, at least the main event every Saturday night should be and ought to be a mixed bout. There are a lot of boys that have nowhere to go on Saturday evenings and love to spend the evening at the club. These could be made regular customers, if they are taken into consideration and satisfied. It can be easily done, as there are enough good colored stars that would make good drawing cards, if only given the chance. I will not stop asking for fair play for the colored prize fighters. They really need someone to speak up for them. I choose to be the spokesman. Who sayeth Nay? Quite Timely BABY JOE GANS will take on Sargeant Sammey Baker in the main event of ten rounds over at the Queensboro Stadium, on Tuesday evening August 6th. This is quite a tight arrangement for the Baby, as Baker is a tough boy. Not so long ago I read where Gans threw a challenge at Jackie Fields, the new welterweight king. This will be made possible if he can get by Baker, as Willie Roony who is manager of the champion wired the match-maker of the Stadium to sign the winner of this fight to meet Fields in September. Now Baby, come on, get down to business, here's your great moment. Are you serious about wanting to get a crack at the wetterweight title? If you are you will have to go about this affair as a business man goes about putting over a big deal. First of all you know how you stand. Remember, your opponent has the same chances of meeting the champion if he wins, so you see it is socially "up to you." The old form of feeling a man out for a few rounds is the hunt. I don't think you can earn this one on points. "Do you understand?" You must go to work at the start. Make it impressive. Put the sling over as soon as possible. Do this, and I will say that you are a wrist man. Prime fighting requires a great deal of common sense, intelligence, and quick thinking these days. If you possess these necessary requirements helping themselves play Tuesday evening, the party will be over to give you a big break, so don't think you're going to be leisurely. The huge what you can take into fight more than anything else, especially against bears. If bears been blinding by snapping at the best they could be, tempt of walking up the grass, to the first that there are good colored fighters in town doing nothing; and that they should be given a chance to go to work. Al Brown came up from under. Will you do likewise? Just you watch Baker's left. He generally lands them low. If he does they may not call a foul. So he says, you've got your hands full this time. We wish you luck a plenty. Go to it; am bring home the doughnut, minus the empty holes. We think if you were to get Fields in there again you will deliver the works. We hope you are taking these opportunities seriously. Make up your mind to finish on top, and be determined to carry out your intentions and you just can't lose. WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN SOME of the boys that can be seen in training daily at the New Garden Gym, in West 18th street, are as follows: Al Brown, Baby Joe Gans, Jack McVey, Harry Scott, Big Bill Artwell, Jack Townsend, Carl Carter, and others. Some days Jack Johnson drops in for a brisk work-out. NOTICE Weekly Illustrated Feature Section THE LIFE OF BERT WILLIAMS No. 9 ... Text by BEN DAVIS, JR. Drawn by A. W. RENNEGARBE BON BON BUDDY SCENE 2 THANK YOU, MATER WILLIAMS! $500 If I Fail to Grow Hair From Beale Street To Broadway FROM BEALE STREET TO BROADWAY CLEFORD McGINNESS REVIEWS THE LIFE OF W. C. HANDY "I care not who makes a nation's lawn, So long as I can write a nation's songs." IN THE year 1878 there were born in the town of Florence, Alabama two men. One was Ocrer De Priest, skateboarder, lawmaker. The other, William Christopher Handy, composer and musician. Taking their rise in that small town, the two lifeentrems sowed in appropriate channels. Both sworn North: the one to the White House of Wash- in, while New York's Great White Way—Broadway—received the other Just after the Civil War, Handy's grandfather bought a homebase on the west side of Florence, which is known as "Handy's Hill." His grandfather also built the first Negro Church in Florence. His father later became pastor. It was then that young Handy decided on music as a career. To the three R's, conventional in the early eighties, Prof. Wallace, the subedmaster, added singing, believing William would make a good tenor, yet a greater politician. The father felt that the boy would never amount to much if a professional musician, for musicians then had to play "two-doze" and "corn songs." (How was the minister to know that school would be very anxious one day to understand these depressed songs? How was he to know that in every art on the face of the earth, only that is good, only that is great and immortal which has the smell of earth and flesh in it?) But let's do Handy's father justice; he saw something in the boy, a power, a sense of leadership, a mind which held reality as in a dress hat, survey little Hanny did some things that showed his father, a short glimpse of the Handy of today? The minister thought much a woke of time. But the boy was childish. It it hadn't been for that boy's eliancy. America would have had only another politician, as the teacher wished, or another bishop, as the father wished. Indeed of being cowed by his father's disapproval, Handy stole the minister's Jim-owner for his stage debut, in a minister. They went on a grand tour, but in southern Alabama the manager suddenly vanished and, with him, the treasury. The quartet walked back to Pleasure, singing for their rank. When they sang "Take Me Kook Home, Let Me See It Once More," real feeling must have added a trumble. Birmingham was a city. Bigger began three more schools to teach in kindy, arriving there, found that what he could get a teacher was even less than half of what he could get as a laborer in the pipe works at Bessemer, twelve miles outside. Naturally he became a laborer. Life itself, not academic study alone, taught him many work songs that, using him as a medium, were to achieve a great place in American music. However, the election of Grover Cleveland had a bad effect on labor. Less work and less pay prevailed. Back at Hirmingham, Handy came across a quartette in a saloon. With twenty cents in his pockets, he took hold of these four older men, and started out for the World's Fair at Chicago, first announced for 1893. They travelled by freight. A brakeman ordered them off. The quartette bega into croom, someone strummed a guitar and Handy muted his cornet. The brakeman relented. Thereafter they rode in the caboose. Before the troubadours reached Chicago, the Fair was postponed for a year. So they found themselves in St. Louis instead. Hard times. Hundreds slept on the cobblestones on the levee. Handy among them. He bobbed out of it, to Evanville, Indiana. There he did street-bricking at a dollar fifty a day. He played in the Hampton Band there until he met one Taylor of Henderson, Kentucky. Taylor took him to Kentucky where he made twelve dollars for one day's work in the Henderson band. Those were golden days all around: his future wife was then a Henderson girl. Henderson, being on the Ohio River, was a steamboat landing and there he learned the levee songs of the roostabouts or stevedores—quite an acquisition. The 4th of August, 1896, saw him in Chicago. The famous shara Minneapolis wanted him. With them his technical ability came into something like full play. His band played everything from ballads to Beethoven. In Oakland, California, Handy, who, as his musical education progressed, neglected all other music for the sake of the academic and classical, gave a cornet solo, playing Hartmann's "Mia." It was a technical feat, but the gallery hissed. The music was foreign. There is no national feeling for the music om composers long since dead, like Beethoven and Palestrina, because none of it is written by Americans. So we are indifferent. The next night, Handy tried something with a Dixie warmth to it, something not unfamiliar to the magisterial sentiments of the gallery. He played it with a sway of the shoulders and a tap of his foot. The rhythm, familiar and native, conjuring up things in the hearer's past, caught on. A queer beat fused the crowd and Handy into a unit, a plant played on by the forces of the universe. . . . After this, Handy almost symbolically returned to Alabama. Should a composer, a creator of music, remain academic and classical, he remains merely imitative. So when Handy returned to Alabama, all joyne imitation, stopped. He had realised what his people wanted and as Wagner had said, "Latia music for Latin throats, German music for German throats." Handy added "Negro music for Negro throats." From 1890 to 1893 Handy was at A. & M. College, where he had charge of the band and vocal music. Often he would go around, striding through the cotton fields outside Huntville, his ears drinking in the work songs and spirituals of the people he knew—songs that had sprung up without any apparent origin, like the poems attributed to Homer, epics of men like John Henry and Jim Crow. We next find him in Clarksville, Mississippi, where he saw the aesthetic value of another type of Negro song. (Continued next week) White Man Married To A Native Able To Speak Only in Zulu Johannesburg, Wednesday.—Thomas Webster was sentenced as the Criminal Seasons today to one day's hard labor for living with a native woman. The evidence revealed an extraordinary state of affairs. Webster, though clearly a European, had no knowledge of English or African and had to be communicated with in Zulu. He married the woman, for whom he paid lobola, according to the native custom, 15 years ago in Natal. He had five children, three of whom were alive. The wife is at present in a mental asylum. Mr. Justice de Waal said he was at a loss how to sentence the man. The interpreter: Your Lordship, the accused says he does not understand you. The Judge: Webster, you are an Englishman. I am not going to speak to you in a Kaffir language. Interpreter, you can tell him afterwards what I said." The Judge then advised Webster as soon as his wife came out of the asylum to leave the country and go to some place where their position would be legal—(Reuter.) A party of Albanian recruits was marching across country, when attacked by about fifty famished wolves. Only two had rifles and they killed seven wolves before their ammunition was exhausted. Some men succeeded in climbing trees, but eleven of them were pulled down and devoured.

Pushkin "Made" Russian Literature Had There Been No Alexander Pushkin, Russia's Famed Thinkers, Tolstoi, Dostoievsky, Gogol and Others Might Have Written in French for Want of a Language—His Great Talent Made Him a Court Favorite, Excited the Envy of His Unscrupulous Enemies, and Later Caused His Untimely Death Could Not Hate But as one of his friends said to him: "You have no hatred even when you bite your friends." The fact is that Pushkin was incapable of doing physical hurt to any one. But there was his pen, and his genius for repartee. With the keen rapler of his wit he attacked them, and they writhed helplessly. All that was left to them was to mock him about his Negro ancestry. wound he died in great agony two days later. On hearing of the injury to his favorite, the Czar was furious. "Never shall I forgive," he swore, "those who have killed my beloved Pushkin." D'Anthes' life was spared only by Pushkin's intercession, who, with his last breath, asked the Czar to pardon his opemies. D'Anthes, however, was stripped of all his wealth and exiled, while his father and oth- They would point to the crisp curly hair of his head and whiskers, his dark skin, and his full lips, crying, "There is the Negro." Or they would refer to him as "a black man badly whitened." Because he was lively in his movement, they would declare that he inherited that trait from the apes of Central Africa. At last his enemies formed a union against him. At its head were Count Gvaroff, Minister of Public Instruction, and Count Benkendorff, Chief of Police. Unable to attack him openly his enemies now began to whisper tales of his private life, and to circulate anonymous letters. Pushkin had been married to one of the most beautiful women in Russia, and tales began to fly, charging her with infidelity. One day, Pushkin received an extremely embarrassing and insulting hit of correspondence alleging his wife's unfaithfulness. Stung by this insult he sought out the one he deemed the culprit — Baron D'Anthes—and sent him a challenge. Killed in Duel The two met on a wintry field on the morning of February 8, 1837, armed with pistols. Pushkin, who, as was said, was incapable of harming anyone, advanced to meet his antagonist with lowered weapon. But D'Arthes fired, the ball lodging in the poet's intestines. From this wound he died in great agony two days later. On hearing of the injury to his favorite, the Czar was furious. "Never shall I forgive," he swore, "those who have killed my beloved Pushkin." D'Anthes' life was spared only by Pushkin's intercession, who, with his last breath, asked the Czar to pardon his enemies. D'Anthes, however, was stripped of all his wealth and exiled, while his father and others of the conspirators were driven out of office. So great was the indignation of the people, that the Czar ordered a private funeral fearing an uprising. The Czar, himself, undertook to pay all of Pushkin's debts, which were enormous, for Pushkin, like Dumax was the spirit of generosity, and spent money like water. As to his writings, they will live as longs as literature lives, for, in the words of Eichenwald, the noted critic: Critic Eulogizes Him "Puskin is the echo of the world, an obedient and melodious echo, which moves from realm to realm, passionately responding to everything so that no one significant tone in the life of the universe may vanish without leaving a trace. . . . "There was such a limitless amount of beauty in his soul that it could find relief, consonance and inner rhyme only in the virility of nature and in the boundlessness of human existence. His all-responding soul was like a many-stringed instrument, and all the Universe playing on it, extracted the most marvelous songs Listened Eagerly "Puskin the great Pan of Poetry, listened eagerly to the call of the sky, the earth, the throbbing of the heart. . . A giant of the spirit, full of burning curiosity, full of restless nase and mouth,蒲苹 encounters all seen, and he learns everything. Without boundaries or limits, knowing no distance or past, always in the present, everywhere alive, a contemporary of overnight, he moves about spaces and above time, from age to age, and is able to him." Puskinh, the fury, the passionate, the vehement and irritable; Puskinh the governor, the enthusiastic, the faithful friend, the loyal adversary, the bitter foe of falsehood and injustice, was one of the complete human beings who ever lived. On the centenary of his birth, his memory was honored by national celebrations. Short Hints Of Value Keep your candy in the refrigerator during hot weather. A cold dry atmosphere is best for all kinds of candy, and particularly for chocolates. Bor bons are far more appetizing when chilled than when they are allowed to remain in the heat and soften. So unless you have teeth that can't chew them when cool and tasteful, see that they are kept cool. Are you troubled with "hard" water, which causes your hands to crack? Squeeze a little lemon juice into your washing water and note the difference—but be sure not to do this when you have colored clothes to wash. Many little make much. Nothing is more true than this. If each woman in the United States would place one dollar a year in a fund, there would be something like twenty-five million dollars which could be expended for a hospital, woman's college, or almost anything. And if one woman would slip one dollar each week in the bank, she would have pretty close to two thousand dollars in each at the end of twenty years—for it is surprising how quickly interest adds to the principal sum. And yet we reach the age of forty, fifty or sixty and find ourselves with little or nothing. A PAIR OF FUNAFFLE RECIPES Fruit One Halve three oranges, remove pulp, notch the shells and set in a bowl of cold water. To the orange pulp add two cups crushed pineapples with part of syrup left in, two sliced bananas, ¾ lb. Malaga grapes (pseed and seeded), and ½ cup sugar. Chill the fruit mixture and serve in orange cups—garnishing with a maraschino cherry. Brown-Evok Stuart Solad Place slice of pineapple on a lettuce leaf. Mold pimienta cheese, or cream cheese to which butter coloring and cayenne peper have been added, into slender pointed rolls long enough to cover pineapple from center to edge. Lay rolls on slice like petals of a flower. Stone a rips olive and place in center, trimming underside to make it fit. Garnish with mayonnaise. (Whites of hard-boiled eggs colored in beet vinegar may be used to make a pink flower.) Instead of the ripe olive, you could use a plum, large cherry or any colorful fruit or berry available. TO REMOVE SPOTS FROM SULKS Silk garments should be brushed carefully with a piece of velvet or a very soft brush. Silk may be cut or marred by too vigorous brushing. Spots may be removed in much the same way as from woolen garments. Silk garments may be dry-cleaned at home if one is very careful to use gasoline or other inflammable fluids out of doors where there can be no risk of explosions. HOW THINGS CHANGE! Two men who had been in prison together met one day in a London street. One of them, Diggins by name, was surprised to see the other, Jenks, dressed in the height of fashion, with a luxurious car waiting for him. "You seem to have made a lot of money," he said. "Yes," replied Jenks. "I formed a partnership with a rich man. He had the capital and I had the experience." "And was the business successful?" "Most successful. When R was dissolved a few months later I had the capital and he had the experience." J. R. WILLIAMS L. R. C. P. & S. EDINBUR The Arteries The arteries are those vessels which convey pure blood from the heart to all parts of the body in order to supply it with nutrition. Like all the other organs of the human mechanism the arteries are also subjected to wear and tear in the performance of the duty allotted to them. Each individual in his constitutional make up is a law unto himself. The exemplification of this fundamental principle is well borne out by the fact that all are endowed with arteries undergoing similar function, yet some prematurely give way during the course of events. Whenever the arterial tree is so affected as to cause a gradual and progressive nutritional disturbance of the walls the disease known as arterio-sclerosis finally develops. It is this aliment with its primary etiological factors which comes under our observation for discussion briefly. At a certain stage in this evanescent period of the existence of man a metamorphosis commences in his arterial system. It is held as authentic by keen observers that at fifty years of age and above, the inner coat of the arteries has commenced to show signs of degeneration. Unfortunately many individuals have had this change going on towards the end of the second decade of life, some at the third decade, others at the fourth decade, with the consequence that premature aging has stolen a march on probationary time. The aphorism, Use Headas Well As Heart in Love Julia O Jerome A young man of Dayton, Ohio, wishes our advice. "My Dear Mrs. Jerome: "I am a young man of twenty-five: my sweetheart is twenty-two. We have been going together for a year. She interests me greatly, and she says she loves me. But sometime back, when I asked her to marry me, she refused. Since then I have been gone for three months. During this time she wrote that my absence made her know she really loved me. Shall I propose again, and when and how should I do it? "SINCERE LOVE." There is much truth in the old saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder," however moss-grown it may sound to us moderns. Provided that absence is not too long, it is very stimulating to love. During an absence of two or three months the image of our loved one is still clear and vibrant in the mind, and we contrast the pleasures we enjoyed with our love to the emptiness we feel without him or her. But I advise no lover to stay away six months, because in that time, the mind gets too many new impressions which have a tendency to blur and displace former impressions. If the sunshine is moved from one side to the other of a flower, the shady side will in time begin to droop; and, like flowers, human beings need constant stimulus. By all means, ask her again. Send "My Dear Mrs. Jerome: "a man is as old as he feels" may well be applied to the general condition of his arteries. This existing state is sometimes inherited, and a whole family may be brought under the sharp acythe of the grim reaper before the allotted span is run. Such is this earthly tabernacle of which we boast. And can the clay say to the potter why hast thou made me thus? A high blood pressure or hypertension of long standing is productive of degenerate arteries. As already stated the arteries ramify the whole system but whenever the blood pressure exceeds a certain height in tension, then the burden is laid principally on vital parts such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. It is worth while to remember that there are many individuals who are going about their daily toll with high blood pressure and not being aware of the incident, owing to the fact that there are no subjective symptoms to warn them of the impending danger. In this instance the persistent invitations of health reforms may well be appreciated in their philanthropic effort to advise the community to take advantage of periodic examinations. It is only by the use of the sphymomanometer that the physician will be able to detect the intruder. A case of high blood pressure when treated early can be relieved to a great extent. A blood pressure ranging between 120 and 130 mm. of mercury is said to be normal, but an individual over fifty years of age may have a normal pressure as high as 160 mm. If it remains permanently above this figure there should be a suspicion of danger. Overeating without exercising correspondingly results in high blood pressure. The well to do are the usual sufferers. In such cases the kidneys have to bear the brunt of attack. Low blood pressure is to be avoided as well. It is generally brought on by those who are submitting themselves to insufficient diet for the sake of notoriously.

Cuando consideramos que la intriga y la malicia han influido en cierto de nuestro elemento, hasta el extremo de detractar y destruir las realizaciones de nuestra organización, introduciendo subterfugios en el programa de enaltecimiento de la raza negra; y cuando mas adelante consideramos que aquellos a quienes poco le importa nuestro futuro, han patrocinado otras agrupaciones con el objeto de minar la utilidad de nuestro movimiento, y apesar de sus maquinaciones hemos adelan- 5—Adquisición de tierras para el desarrollo científico de la agricultura, así como el establecimiento de fabricas e instituciones industriales en varias comunidades de la raza, con el objeto de garantizar empleo permanente a nuestro elemento. 6—Creación de una nueva línea de vapores—La Estrella Negra—para facilitar el concurso entre nuestro elemento universalmente. tado considerablemente, llegamos a la conclusión de que la influencia de un algo sobrenatural nos ha acompañado en nuestras horas de amargura y esa misma influencia nos ha de guiar hacia nuestro anhelado destino. 7-Establecimiento en Londres Washington, Paris, Berlin, Roma, Bruselas, Geneva, Tokio, China, India, Oeste y Sur de Africa, de embajadas que representen los intereses de la raza negra en general y protein sus derechos. No hemos de ir a la confusión con todo ese ruido a nuestro alrededor; hemos de permanecer tranquilos con nuestras miras en la realización de nuestro ideal—la emancipación de nuestro pueblo y la redención de nuestra patria. Los programas enunciados por otros nos dicen que obtendremos un porvenir mas brillante. No hemos de entrar en discusión sobre esa materia, pero si hemos de manifestar que hemos escuchado ese canto de sirena por mas de cincuenta años y estamos hoy tan lejos de nuestra felicidad como lo estabamos entonces. 8- Establecimiento de publicaciones diarias en las principales ciudades del mundo, con el proposito de crear un mejor entendido y un mejor sentimiento en favor de los pueblos negros del orbe. 9- Esfuerzo practico para agrupar en una magna organización las diversas unidades de le raza negra. Desgraciadamente notamos la raza dividida en dos grupos: aquellos que se denominan intelectuales y aquellos a quienes los primeros califican como la masa común. Los que formanos parte de esta organización estamos satisfechos de pertenecer a la masa común del pueblo y hemos de decir al grupo que se denomina intectual, que se equivoca de nuevo al creer que ha de tener grandes resultados del uso de la clase de política que otros sapientisimos de otras razas han practicado en las masas de su propio pueblo. Esta es la verdadera era de las masas; tal citud ha sido manifestada en Rusia, en Alemania, en Francia, en Inglaterra. 11—Establecer universalmente un código social para la raza negra. 12—Ejecución práctica de todos y cada uno de los anteriores temas, para solucion de los problemas que afectan directamente al negro, como medio para contrarestroar su explotacion y su probable exterminacion. 13—Presupuestar seis millones de pesos para sufragar la gastos que ocasiona la ejecución del programa anterior, según determine la convención.

La masa del pueblo ha de traer aquellas reformas las cuales actuarán como una bendición para la humanidad en general.

Nada han hecho en pro de la humanidad sino vivir a expensas de ella y oponiéndose a todo movimiento de reforma, porque sus ideas con extremadamente conservadoras. En la comunidad donde residen combaten cualquier iniciativa de parte de los verdaderos directores del pueblo, pensando que si las masas se elevan ellos perderán la santidad de su posición. Para Poner Fin a Un Tratado Las relaciones actuales entre Huiti y el gobierno de los Estados Unidos se terminarán en breve si llega a aprobarse una resolución conjunta del sentido de este país presentada ya por el senador King, de Utah, quien acaba de anunciar su intención de hacer todo lo posible en la próxima sesión del congreso para conseguir un cambio en dichas relaciones. El senador King, en una entrevista recienteamente celebrada con los correspondales, dijo que "el arreglo actual, por el cual la isla de Haiti esta gobernada por las fuerzas militares de los Estados Unidos, bajo el pretexto de ser unigo y consejero, es indefensible." Las masas del pueblo que tanto han sufrido por espacio de tantos años, van ahora a introducir un cambio de condiciones, el cual acturalmente no es de ningún agrado para esos parásitos sociales. Pero qué nos ha de importar su desagrado cuando nosotros la masa del pueblo hemos de ser bien servidos? Toda vez que cualquiera intenta limpiar su lecho, el insecto en el alojado no podrá por mas tiempo extraer de aquel organismo humano la sangre de que se alimentara, ocasionándole una gran incomodidad. Pero el que sufre la insición ha de introducir cambios distribuyendo algún insecticida sobre el lecho para exterminar la mala semilla. La resolution del senador King, en sus primeros parafos, expone los detalles de la celebración del tratado de 1915, y declara que la extension del periodo del tratado hasta 1936, por el acuerdo Borno-Bailey-Blanchard es mula por no haber sido ratificado ni por el sentido de los Estados Unidos ni por el gobierno de Maiti, y concluye: La balanza de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra está a nivel para todos aquellos que, como parte integrante de la raza, han de realizar el que bajo circunstancia alguna no existirá ni dirección ni superioridad, asumidas estas por medio de influencias sino por medio de verdaderos servicios.

Liberty University Liberty Is Inspiration to Negro Youth, Says Misa DeMena For the first time since I have returned from Liberty University, I am going to make a write-up on its whereabouts. Liberty as you know, is situated on the banks of the historical James River. "Historical because that was the very spot upon which our forefathers landed; bowed down by the cruel treatment of the pale face, and sent to other parts of the country to be treated as beasts of burden. Liberty has within her walls many such pictures, of our fore-fathers that inspired us to try to make ourselves useful men and women, to work for the freedom of Africa, the land of our fore-fathers, the land of arts, of science, and of literature. Liberty University taught us the real meaning of a Negro Nationhood; and many of us as a result, have caught the meaning, and there we have the rising of the New Negro. Liberty University wants as many black boys and girls as is possible to have. Will the black mothers and fathers send them? You should, if you are r. lover of your race. BERNIZA MENA. Hearty applause often has but one significance: It only means that one of the contesting factions has won. GREENBORO, N. C. — "Mount Airy is a white man's town and white men are going to lay the brick here," stated the whites of Mount Airy, a small town bounded near here, recently when our bricklayers were compelled to quit a job and leave the town. Arrangement was made with a contractor for the construction of a large building in the town. For the laying of bricks the contractor found it advantageous to hire our bricklayers, who resided in Reidville. The workers laid the bricks up to the first floor and then were laid off while other work was being done, returning to their homes in Reidville meanwhile. When Ed Caudle, white contractor, was ready for more work he summoned the bricklayers and they returned to Mount Airy and continued to lay brick. Whites Wanted Job of Bricklaying Shortly thereafter the bricklayers were ordered by Caudle to quit, were paid off and told their services were neede dno more. The contractor was threatened and told that trouble would follow if he failed to head the orders of the whites to discharge the workers. Caudle and the owner of the building. A. Goldsmith, paid the expenses of the bricklayers back to their homes. A white Baptist preacher, who has followed the trade of bricklaying for years, headed the whites who wanted the job of laying the bricks for the building. The Greenboro Daily News, a white paper, in commenting on the affair, stated; "This is as clear an example as can be found of the white man building his way over the black, gangling to drive the black man off his job, making it plain that he had better clear from the way of the white, forcing him to get out of the community and, thereby, leaving Mount Airy a 'white man' town, pure and undefiled. If southern people wish to find out why a good many northern and western people look with troubled eyes on the treatment of the Negro in the South, let them consider such incidents as this." Dear Sir: In reference to Mrs. Hoover's tea party, I really think that Mr. and Mrs. Hoover are 100 per cent Americans because they have shown the proper spirit of Americanism by entertaining Mrs. DePriest at tea. One Southern gentleman states that Mrs. Hoover's act was an affront to a large part of the nation. I am glad that he did not say the whole of the United States, because that part of the United States would not have elected Mr. DePriest if they did not think him capable of performing his duties as a Congressman of the United States. When colored man and woman learn anything, they learn it well; and there has never been known, a colored man or woman who was a traitor to this natlition. It has repeatedly been known that they have made good in every field, in music, law, arts, theatres, in fact, in every field. I don't see why there is so much hatred because of one's color. If all the races of the world were to hate the people of the colored race because they are colored, they could not live on this earth. But God provides for every living thing that He created. God must have created all equal because the people of all races are subject to the same things. They all go through the same joys, the same sufferings. Anybody in this world from any race is liable to get sick, burned or drowned, have the same feelings and when the time Potentine must be good!

I am wondering if learning would be a terrible adversity to a large part of the nation. I should think it would be an adversity to the media entitled American nation. I have been told many times, that the reason for the lynchings in some parts of the South, is due to the wrong things of some of the colored people down there, but what can you expect from people who are kept in the dark without learning or training of any kind? If they were given an opportunity to learn, they would be better citizens in their community because when the colored man is trained, he is different as has been shown. America can make her Negro citizens proud of their nation as England and France do with their subjects. The Negroes have always been loyal in time of peace, and in time of war to their country; so I don't see why some of the people hate them so. The colored mothers in the South have always been known to take better care of the white children than of their own, and I cannot see where the hatred comes in. Now I should think that the day ought to come when lynching should be stopped in some of the Southern States of America because I don't believe it necessary. I think that President Hoover did as President Lincoln and President Roosevelt would have done because they were 100 per cent Americans not only by name, but by their actions. So I agree with the articles printed in Tuesday's World which states that "the Hoovers stood for the right of the voters of any district to be represented by a qualified representative of their own choosing. Mr. DePriest was duly elected by the voters of the First District of Illinois. He has been duly dwn in as a member of the House of Representatives. It is the custom of the wife of the President to receive the wives of Congressmen at the White House. Mrs. DePriest is the wife of a Congressman. To have refused to receive her would have been a condemnation by the White House of the action of the electorate in the First District of Illinois. It would have set up qualifications to the right of representation which are not recognised by the Constitution. The Hoovers deserve the greatest credit for their willingness to pay the price of observing the letter and spirit of the Constitution. To have taken any other course would have been more convenient. But it would have been to countenance by their own personal decision an indirect nullification of the spirit not merely of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments but of Article I. After all that Mr. Hoover has had to say about law observance he could not with self-respect have done anything but what he has done." I think that the American flag is the most beautiful of all the other flags in the world. It reminds me of a beautiful garden of flowers and I have taken particular notice of its beauty on Decoration Day. If you do not think so, take a good look at it on the next Decoration Day and judge for yourself. I hope this article will be published and help to bring about better feeling among all races of people.

Telegram Society that the new farm board is put appointed to deal with individuals; it is authorized to deal only with corporations.
