The proceedings began at 3 p. m. by the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed with prayer by the Chaplain, Brother O. Evans.
The President, Brother J. H. Archer, was then introduced to the gathering, and in masterly manner forcibly delivered the Anniversary Message, taking for his text Isaiah 42, 1.6.T. At the funeral Massy July 102, from the Ritual, was heartily sung, closing the Divine Services.
Owing to the absence of the Chairman appointed for the purpose, the President substituted and introduced Mr. Wm. Gaur to preside as Master of Cereniones. In the midst of loud applaise and a few brief remarks, the gentleman took the chair.

Address by Repa. Social Star of Bettleheim, A. I. S. of B. It is with delight that we make mention of these representatives. Sister D. Petlaund and Brother D. Forrest inspired the audience. Sister Petlaund kept the gathering spellbound for quite a time, demonstrating the fulness of fraternism, and the just cause of the U. N. I. A., gaining the full consideration of her hearers. They were capturously applauded.
The next rendered by Mrs. M. Higginson, the 2nd Lady Vice-President, and Miss I. Woodcock.
Recitation, by Master N. Monroe.
Duet, by Misses C. Stubbs and K. Woodcock.

On Saturday, Dec. 7th, the Guantanamo Division was in its gloe. A grand speaking meeting was staged and directed by Miss Grace Gayle and Mrs. Claudina Mathias, our lady president.
The meeting was opened at 8 p.m. by the chairman, Mr. Samuel Hillhouse, who made a wonderful address. The program follows: A Press by the Little Hero, "Carlos Manners; solo by Miss Clarice Hillhouse; dialogue. The Window; Recitation by Mrs. Ethelby Dahany; recitation by Wentworth Sanders; solo by Mr. Nicholas A. Derrick."
At this moment a legion appeared
clad in full uniform with the colors
of the Red, Black and Green, laying:
"Rise to the honor of your Queen!"
The entire house arose and sang the
Ethiopian National Anthem, followed
by the famous Royal March, played
by Miss A. Bratwitshe, "African's
Queen" was rected by Master Herman
Caacfer. There were many
other interesting features on the pro-
gram, which would take quite some
space to record.
The meeting was brought to a
close with the singing of the Ethiopian
National Anthem.

The following readers and well-wishers of The Negro World responded promptly, politically and generally to the appeal our Business Manager made several weeks ago for $3,000 so that we might be able to make this international paper bigger and better.
Although the response was not wide, nor substantial enough to enable us to carry out our plans, we, the entire staff of The Negro World, acknowledge with thanks the patriotic seal of our readers who have contributed to this fund and also of those who intended to help but could not.
We shall, however, continue this campaign of making "The Negro World Bigger and Better" during the next Two Monts and hope that our plans could be materialised by them.

Delivers Inspiring, Intellectual Talk on "Modern Educational Needs of the Negro"
The Oakland Division No. 188, observed Young People's Day" on Sunday, December 14. The day was an ideal one and the program excellent. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Walter Woods, president. Mr. Elliott Holloway acted as master of cordellions.
The items of merit presented on the program was as follows: Juvenile department, which was very interesting; a saxophone solo by Miss Nelline Smith, entitled "The Rosary"; was excellently executed; the current topics covering world affairs was ably read and commented on by Mr. G. E. Inman, the topics were very instructive and interesting; a piano selection entitled "Song. Without Words" was beautifully rendered by Mrs. B. Evans; the "Objects and Alms" was next ably read by Miss Patty Telling; the reading of the President-General's message by Mr. Joseph McDonald was ably given, followed by one verse of "Where He Leads Me." The offering of the day was next taken after which the speaker of the day in the person of Dr. W. C. Hamilton, was presented, and spoke from the subject "Modern Educational Needs of the Negro." The learned doctor said in part: "With the constant changes of the times it becomes necessary for us to change our methods of education to meet the modern needs of the Negro."
In supplying an education like Now, it is a successful meeting.

up twenty pounds bail on charge like this.
"Why?" said I, "It is not a felony if anything at all and does not come under the criminal offence procedure laws. It is a common misdemeanor and is covered by the simple offences ordinance that entitles the accused to bail on a minimum amount of five shillings and a minimum of five pounds sterling."
"You seem to be some kind of a lawyer but this" is South Africa where we don't have nigger lawyers—we will notify your ship in time—"put him in the lockup," he commanded the native police, finally.
The two native officers took the gently by the arm; and led me to a cell, out of sight of the desk officer, locking the door behind me gently. They both came to the bar and tried to converse, with me but, we could not understand each other. They then whispered to each other in conversation and from the way they handed me and looked at me and the expressions on their face, I could see that they were both in sympathy with me and recognized me as one of their own.
I slept all night on a hard concrete floor with a stained concrete beam as my pillow. The next morning a native officer brought me some hard biscuits that seemed to have been made of cement and flour and some warm liquid in an old tin can that was neither tea, coffee nor cocoa, at 8 a. m, which I cast aside, contemptuously. At 10 a. m I was removed from the cell and handcuffed to a native Kafti prisoner and a large group of us were marched through the streets in this manner to the city court for trial.
"Joseph Milton Batson, you are charged here with obstruction by blocking the white traffic on the sidewalk and refusing to remove when ordered to do, so, by the police"—was the charge the clerk called out. "Are you guilty, or not guilty?"
"Not guilty," I said.
"Do you wish to engage a lawyer?" I was asked.
"Do you elect to give evidence upon oath or to make an open statement," was the next question. "An open statement," I said. "Why not evidence upon oath?" he demanded.

gro youths of today must not be satisfied with a mere amitating of knowledge in the three 'Rs', but they should endeavor to master all the higher branches of learning, such as the sciences, arts and technical trades. There is a practice that is becoming prevalent among our youths of today—the urge of making money—which was in most cases differential to the completion of the boy or girl's education. There was too much of a rush after the dollar by boys and girls who should be more zealously engaged in securing a thorough education to meet the modern needs of the times.
"Too many of our boys and girls were leaving the schools of the country every year, believing that they were qualified enough to do certain things, but they were sadly disappointed when the test of the modern world was applied. The results are that many a boy and girl are thereby left educationally unfitted to make their living in the world."
The speaker closed, his inspiring and instructive address with a moving appeal to the parents to do all in their power to assist their children to acquire a thorough education and one that will meet the needs of modern times.
The doctor was given great applause for his able and intellectually inspiring address.
The appeal for new members was ably made by Mr. E. Holloway. The announcements were given out. The Ethiopian National Anthem was sung and the benediction monologue, glorifying a successful meeting.
my choice?" I said. The Dutch politician was then called upon to state his case. He was a direct descendant of Ananias. As he completed his "corte of unicombo" I was called upon to defend myself.
I told the court that under the laws of the flag I observed on the masthead of the court the offence "obstruction" was defined thus: "Any person or person who places or causes to be placed, any goods, articles or obstacles in any public place or public thoroughfare enduring the 'public safety, commits an obstruction.' I was neither good, an article or an obstacle, but merely a British subject who had walked around Buckingham Palace on many occasions, walked through and attended divine services at both Saint Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, spoke personally to Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and to Mr. Lloyd George when he was at the board of trade and who had let his own family behind unprotected in South America to come and defend the King and his subjects in South Africa, where he discovered to his great shock and surprise he could not even walk on the sidewalk in defending them. If the flag on the masthead was the same as the one I saw over Buckingham Palace and the adultery then, it is obvious a prima facie case has not been made out and I therefore asked to be dismissed."
Berkley Division
The Berkeley Division opened its meeting at 3 p.m., as usual, with the singing of the opening ode, followed with ritualistic ceremony by the chapain, Mr. W. K. Moore. The president, Mr. S. Ashby, who occupied the chair, made the opening address, after which the meeting was turned over to the master of ceremonies, Mr. J. B. Eaton.
The President-General's message was read by Mr. W. K. Moore, followed with a speech by the chair. Madam C. M. Brown made a short talk on "National Building." The Rev. A. A. Boyd made a very inspiring talk. The choir offered another selection, after which the president, made the opening reception. Holding made to a close with the singing of the President's Kyme.

The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem.
"Peace on Earth Good Will to Men"
By LESTER B. SHAW
Moran, Cuba
When God has seen that man has fallen deep into sin from his spiritual kinship to his Creator, that even the very Angels and the Holy One are disgusted, that sprang up a Divine sympathy, that within the Trinity handed the Son to Jesus to assure Himself as the Redeemer of the world.
"As the Angels flashed the news around, and with the praise, 'PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TO MEN,' for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which in Christ the Lord, and as he betook to Himself, with the authority of His Father, the duty, the work, the sacrifice, to bring the man near to his Creator. He was born as we are told, in that stable of Bethlehem, and now journeyed from Far and near to see the Bible Christ. To some this birth was a disappointment, because He was born lovely. The race to which he was to be born, expected a life rage in pomp and glory, and when He came into a manner they were disappointed; they were disgusted and, said He; we was not the Christ, and the lowly babe grew up amid prejudice, lived amid prejudice, and died amid prejudice so as to redeem the world.
And as it comes to the time when the babe did come into this world, for no other reason but to suffer and die for mankind, and as Christ had brought that mission of love to the world, it is for us to pattern Him and follow His footsteps as He has taught His disciples love one another. And we must love one another even as Christ loved us.
He did not go exclusively to the chasees. He devoted His life to all, and while we commemorate the birth of the Christ, we must bear in mind the sufferings He underwent, for the purpose of carrying out completely His mission—the mission that brought Him down from Heaven to earth. He came to save a sinful world and He was rejected, and even at the last hour, when He was about to leave the world, after doing so much good, He had not even twelve men who were honest enough to profess the faith or to show as faithful converts, even when He was the Son of God.
So my dear readers we can just gather from the life of Christ, who is said to be the first greatest Reformer, the state of man's mind. That proves to me that man has not changed much since Christ was here. But it behooves us as a people to follow the teachings of Jesus The Christ with love and truth, and we too may say as the wise men, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen the star in the east and we are come to worship HIM."
The alleged gangster leader, Capone, seems to mean to stay in Florida and enjoy the comforts of his palatial home, ruggedness of expert cozy.
It's bigger, about a fellow golfing more health out of the game he pays for five, instead of for his health.

Honorable and Dear President-General:
We, the officers, members and friends of the Ella Division of the U. N. I. A. A. & A. C. I. of August, 1929, of the World do hereby tender to you our sincerest Christmas Greetings.
We hold in the greatest estimation the splendid manner in which, even in the most trying instances, you have performed your various duties as President-General, advisor and helper, even at times at great sacrifices to yourself.

THE BEST OFFER FOR THE YEAR
With a year's subscription to our paper we will give you a copy of the book on the life of the world's only Negro Heavyweight Champion.
This book is really interesting and thrilling as it deals with his life in and out of the ring. It relates how Be met Kings, Queens, Dukes, Princesses, Presidents, and what they thought of him. Also his early marriage to a colored girl, and the results of this first marriage. How he lost the championship title, etc.
WHEN BELIEBS are wrong, the best is telling little children, and happy in their homes Santa Claus left their toys. Growups are full of snips. Thinking hands, and wishing each other happiness.
The mail man has left bundles of letters and packages. Young folks are busy reading: the greeting from their many friends. The air is full of joy, 'tis Christmas, the one day in the year, that should bring happiness to all.
The big question is, "What have been your acts, etc."? since last Christmas.
Have you at all times tried your utmost to do good? Have you tried to make others happy instead of sad? Have you walked the straight and narrow path of life? So that your walks would have been an inspiration to others. If you have followed the rules of success then it is good with you.
Anyway you should decide as to what will be your acts for the coming year.
My sincere wish and desire is that all of us will live a life of honesty in all its meaning. Let's leave the petty things such as hatred, malice, contempt, jealousy, and evil doings behind us.
Let's all be as one big happy family, all interested in the success of each other.
These things can be done, as it is just, as easy, to do good as bad, and doing good is of more importance to one's life.
Learn to be broad-minded, and also learn to overlook the small acts of others that may not prove pleasing, and try to correct those that make such mistakes, and do it in an agreeable way. Let us all tow seeds of goodwill toward mankind is my appeal to the souls of my race fellows.
THE NEGROES achievements in the roped arena for the year 1830, was not so bad. To reflect over same makes one feel proud of his fellow milt-men. George-Goffrey, Leon Cavalier, Larry Johnson, Billie Jones, Harry Smith, Gorilla Jones, Angel Cvilile, Baby Joe Gans, Jack Thompson, Kid Chocolate, Al Brown and Koll Kolo.
All the aforementioned have done their best to uphold the race in this particular field of sport.
Godfrey has gone unconquered for the entire year with the exception of his bout with Primo Carrera, in Philadelphia. Everybody knows that that fight was bagged and sewed up tight. George could beat Primo any day in the week.
Sharkey-Schmeling, Campo and Shrubbling refused to mingle with him, so that makes George the uncrowned heavyweight champion.
Leon Cavalier stirred the world in his showing up of the world's greatest jugglingator, Primo Carnevallo. How can we ever forget that memorial battle of the West, when the white folks resorted to all kinds of underhanded methods to put Cavalier to sleep, when they discovered that Primo could not do it.
Up until this time "Big Feet" was bowling them ever fast. So it took Cavalier, a Negro, to show him up and hear it.
Johnson, the leading Light he was, showed good during the sum against Maxie Rosenbloom and Pete Latzo. To my mind, and a lot of others, he won both fights but was denied the decisions.
Then take, Billy Jones of Philadelphia, who was stepped to meet Rosenbloom for the championship. Just to have Mickie crying for one of them things, and because Jones would not agree, Max took a run out on the match master. Jones could knock Mickie head off. Just like that.
Harry Smith, the middleweight, with the hefty sock, has to fight boys ten and twenty pounds heavier than he in order to get work. Just like Harry—to Michey Walker, the champ, and he takes the subway. Gorilla Jones has done nicely, winning most of his fights by the K. O. route.
Agnus Chrysler created the most successful exhibition among at the Negro worldweight with his one round K. O. of Rape Devon. This successful feat put him right up front. Rame would not meet faith when the match was proposed to him some months before. Jeak Thompson won and lost the wetterweight championship during the year. He won it mentoringally and lost it through a desire of the white man to deprive him of some. Baby Joe Gans has chalked up quite a number of victories during the year. Meeting and defeating some of the best boys in his division.
Kid Chocolate has made the most money during the year, although his ring assignments have not been registered as successes on his record. Aside from his three round knockout victory over Al Ridgeway, which was quite an upset, the Kid has had some tough breaks during the year. Al Brown, the bantam-weight champion has held his crown intact for the past twelve months. It seems that the boys in his division do not like to play in his yard, as he has only had cause to defend his laurels twice during the year. Koli Kolo came to us like a streak of lightning flash, for a time he was dropping them here and there, only when he met Jimmy Slavin did he ever taste defeat. This is a good record for a newcomer, and one not quite familiar with the ways and ins of New York. Koli proved to be the gameest race fighter for the latter part of the year. He has been in very tight spots but never has been down for a count yet.
So you will see my dear readers, that the field of boxing, which to my mind is an interesting one, cannot be given too much space when it comes to registering the activities of our race participants this field has been greatly over-looked by quite a number of our journals.
But it will be the policy of "Boxing Shadow" to give to his many readers first hand "info" every week, regarding the success or failure of our out-standing and also lesser lights in the Boxing World.
Therefore I am asking fans everywhere to write me any news they may run across in their respective states in this field of sport. Also boxers are asked to send their names and weights. Also their assignments in to me regularly every week.
I want to get closer to you, as I desire you to know that this column will at all times champion your cause. Hoping the coming year will be one of greater success for you all.
AL BROWN, bantamweight champion, has been notified by the New York Boxing Commission that he must defend his title within fifteen days or same will be declared vacated. They did not state, if there were any changers on file from contenders. Unless this is so, how do they appeal Brown to fight, he go out and drag someone in the ring with him. Come on give us the low down on the matter. If there are challengers on file notify Brown who should be given first chance, and get the matter over with.
ANGEL CLIVILLE received a draw in his ten round bout with Vittorio Livan of Italy, held at Madison Square Garden, last Friday evening. Try as Angel did he could not put the Italian away. Here was one child baby for the Porto Rica. He just would not stay put, and fought tough, at all stages. It was a clever contested affair with bids boys using presentation. As this was their first appearance in the Garden.

Postpone Holt-Williams Fight at Junction City
JUNCTION CITY, Kan.-The ten round bout scheduled between Young Jack Holt, weakerweight champion (colored) boxer of the U. S. army, and Billy Williams, the Denver fighter, which way scheduled for the nineteenth, has been postponed until the first of the year.
While in training several days ago, Williams, the Denver flash, fractured his left hand, and will probably be unable to appear in a ring before early in January. In the meantime Holt is busy training for future bouts in prospect.
Holt is well known throughout Kansas and Missouri, and other cities having fought and defended some of the best they had to offer. He recently returned from the East where he fought and defeated "Kid" Andy Brown, Red Jerrell, Jimmy Miller and scores of others.
Holt is a fast, clever and hard hitting puncher and best of all a wonderful, crowd pleasing performer. Holt can be reached at Junction City at Rosenfelds Men's Shop.
Petitioners Save Sammy Jackson's Purse in L. A.
LOS' ANGELES, Cal.—(ANP) —Deeply concerned over the fact that Sunny Jackson, twenty-year-old local school welterweight sensation, was to be appended, for a foul claimed by Punie Walker, local business and professional men sent a petition to James Weep, state-boxing commissioner.

Bess, editor of the California Eagle, Harry Lovette, sports editor of the California Eagle, Cliff Minter of Minter's Style Salon, Charlotte Smith, patrolman, and Dr. Albert Baumann, grumpiest. They pointed out that Jackson is a credit to the race, and they do not wish him to become discouraged or disgruntled. Mr. Woods, always favorable to Negroes, consented and Sunny's purse of $1,500 was released.
LOS ANGELES, Cal. — Before the cheers of more than 15,000 wrestling fans died away Wednesday at the Olympic Auditorium where Don George won the world title from Gus Sonnenberg, Lou Daro, promoter, turned to the ANT<sup>1</sup> representative and asked "When are we going to have any colored wrestlers out here?" The promoter has been trying for three years to inject more color into his famous matches by pitting colored matmen against the whites. He is especially anxious to have Reginald Sikl reappeared here as he was a great attraction as the "Abyssinian Lion."

Zorilla and Fernandez Thrown Out of Ring
PASADENA—Santiago Zorilla, the little Panamanian fighter who made his professional debut here several years ago, to climb into the ranks of the main eventers, fought what was probably the last battle of his career here last Thursday night.
For Zorilla and Ignacio Fernandez, another in-and-out fighter, were leased from the ring by Referee Reg Gimore at the end of 10 uninteresting rounds. "Gimore declared it 'no contempt.'"
"There was no doubt in the minds of the spectators that both boys were trying, but it was also recognized that both were 'has-beens.' In fact, Manager Wirt Road declared after the bout that Zorilla had caught his last professional fight and would no longer be in Panama.

For the first time since two years

Wetting only 185 to 140 he has met the best waiters in the country most always giving away from one to seven pounds. He swept Madison Square Garden off its feet thriving them away by thousands at his first appearance there.

Money is sought eagerly as a use of life's most valued possessions in most parts of the world, but to at least one group of people it has no attraction at all. These are the Djukas, or Bush Negroes of Dutch Quita, descendants of slaves who won their independence 200 years ago from their Dutch masters and escaped to the interior of the jungle. They have been living in the wilderness ever since, content with their primitive African culture, wearing little or no clothing and subsisting on the foods that the jungle provides.
Money Means Little
Scientists who have recently visited the country of the Djukas report that the Bush Negroes have an unusual talent for art and that they make unusual and interesting designs. It was when the scientists attempted to purchase some of these artistic products that they discovered that money, in the Djuka colony, at any rate, was valueless for the purpose of bartering.
The 'Djukes engage in the exchange of goods in terms of the goods which the earth gives them or which they produce themselves. Hence, money to them seems like some pieces of worthless, dirty paper, or, in the case of coins, small pieces of metal without even the distinction or being works of art. While money offers no inducement
Roland Hayes in Christmas Recital
Returning from his Christmas holiday in the South, Roland Hayes will give his second recital of the season in Carnegie Hall on Sunday evening, December 28, at 8:30 p. m. The great tenor, now in his seventh tour of America, announces a program consisting largely of favorite numbers from his recitals in the past. Perelval Parham will be the accompanist. The program will include: Handel's "Rondo Sereno" and "Pack Clouds Away"; Bethoven's "Atlideide"; Schubert's "Die Post" and "Die Nebensonen"; Brahm's "Micenc Liebe ist grun" and "Nachtigal"; Debusy's "Les Cloches" and "Mandoline"; Griffes "Rose of the Night"; Shoninsky's "My Little Pool"; and the following Negro spirituals: "I, John Saw De Holy Number," "Way up in Heaven," "Campnecetin"; "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've Seen."
Singing, with the soulful sorrow of the black soulband, James Blakey, removed Negro baritone, silenced bright spot on the Capitol Theatre radio program Sunday over the National Broadcasting System. My high rendition was "Travelin' to the Grave."
Major Bowen, announcer of the program, was enthralled in his praise of the great singer, he is introduced: Bledsoe to the first radio audience. Bledsoe was characterised by Major Bowen, as a remarkable human being, a credit to the human race, and one of the greatest baritone voices of the age. He studied further that this was the voice that had made famous one of the greatest songs of the southland, "Old Man River."
British "Who's Who"
The British "Who's Who" for the year 1921 has included in its distinguished list Paul Robeson, who has to his merit numerous triumphs in England. He is included mostly because of his popularity in Britain. Only one of his London engagements, ending with his performance in the much-talked of "Othello". It is to be noted that Mr. Robeson is not listed in the American "Who's Who."
as he has won over 50 quick knockouts on the court.
If the original Joe Gans could have seen the way his protege was welcomed back home Tuesday it would have done his heart good. Quite a little crowd was there even for the early hour. Curtis Caespertier, former manager of the Lincoln; Lightning Davis, will known boxer; Edward Thompson, Lafayette Player star; Harry Levette, Eagle Sports editor; and Gena family were among those who formed a reception committee to greet the returned wanderer.
Spike and open in brown suit, hat and brown mustache, he looked like the Beaumont Brunel of Broadway. Crouches that gathered around him at Central Avenue were proof of his great popularity. They will be out in front this week for Sunday. A good preliminary card has been handed up by Michigan State University. Prices have been set for this host at 60 cents, 50 and 25 dollars.
to the Djukas to part with their handcraft, gifts of candy or leaf meet an eager response. The natives love the taste of candy and treasure the sugared goods all the more since they have none of it themselves.
Where Art Is Suspended
Art is esteemed very highly by the Djukas. The natives decorate everything. Even their sticks for stirring up pots are finely shaped and delicately carved. The natives spend most of the time when they are not hunting or plowing in working on artistic implements and decorations.
In fact, the ability to artistically decorate things is regarded by the Djukas as the most desired virtue.
To win a wife, for example, a man must show ability in artistically decorating kitchen utensils, household objects and articles of personal decoration. The man who is able to carve in wood is looked upon with high favor by the women of the tribe and he has also the respect of his own sex. The ability to hunt, fish, and successfully to provide for a family are qualities essential in every young man seeking a wife, but these are taken more or less for granted, as few Bush Negroes cannot hold their own on the game trails or along swiftly swirling rivers. It is in the test of his artistic prowess that the prospective husband must prove his mettle.
To Organize Chorus
Of 1,000 Negro Voices
For Westchester Jubilee
A chorus of a thousand Negro voices is the goal set for the big Spring music jubilee to be presented by Westchester County's combined Negro singing groups, Harry Barnhart, director of the chorus, announced.
In order to present a musical program of Negro culture at its best, the Westchester County Recreation Commission recently undertook the organization of various existing singing groups and the formation of new groups into a combined chorus at at least 800 to 1,000 voices.
To reach Westchester's large Negro population, which numbers nearly 50,000, members of the chorus have constituted themselves into a committee to enlist the interest and cooperation of other, singers, whether they are affiliated with societies or not.
Units are being formed in all the important centers in the County with weekly rehearsals under local conductors and rehearsals every second week under the direction of Bamalast. In addition, joint rehearsals will be held periodically.
On Christmas day an an innovation, the title in "The Green Pasture" will portray the leading roles of the show. "They have been practicing diligently these parts and expect to make a decided big significant presentation is offered.

Kid Cox again to hold his own with Gilbert until the end. Both boys weighted 147 pounds.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
19. Proofs in the G. II. A. II. s.
ing. the past season was much
that of last year. As a whole the
pity was of a middle class order,
with just one or two teams standing
out. Teams that seemed to foresee
wonderful aggregations as the season
moved down the line failed before
the halfway mark was reached.
Hampton began with a rush, but faltered along the rugged journey, Union's brand of play was maintained, though the Panthers had nothing like the teams of old. Morgan maintained her tiny pace with only one reverse and closed the season with an excellent team. Howard showed improvement over last year, but failed to present a strong winning combination. Johnson C. Smith started out good, but began to show slugginess as the season rolled along. Lincoln had an improved machine but not a great team. As for the other eleven a look-over the final standings will tell the story.
The players picked here for the season's honor, a place on the all-star eleven, are placed because of their work during the gridiron warfare. Every man's qualifications have been considered. He has been closely watched and studied throughout the year. Among these qualifications are: His all around ability to carry out his job better than the other fellow, and with a degree of consistency; his weak and strong points; his ability to outguess and outsmart the opposition; how he stands up under stiff opposition; whether he is good only against soft foes and bad against, tough — assignments, or whether he carries on sturdily against all that is sent against him.
While some may contend that it seems plausible that a championship team should have a larger representation on the first team, one must not lose sight of the fact that it is also possible for a championship team to have only a few really outstanding players. Morgan presented a championship team, but only one or two men stood heads and shoulders above the rest. The play of these men, the general high spirits of the team and the cooperation and support body accounted, in a large measure for the Bear's success.
Since the membership list of the C. I. A. A. has been increased to twelve schools, the All-Star Committee decided to have three teams this year instead of two. This was decided upon in order to do justice to the large number of players whose work was of value during the season.

El periodismo es un apoelado que exige sacrificios sin cuento. Periodismo es sinnismo de abnegado. Lleno periodismo es sinnismo de apoelol. Pero entre ellos "no exist todos los que son, ni son todos los que eran". Dentro de esta pléyade de espiritus iluminados que alumbran con sus luces a la humanidad, hay también los que pudieron llamar los fortgidos del periodismo, los asaltantes del periodismo. Son espiritus malvados que se introdujeron entre los buenos para hacer imperfecta la obra. Su pluma es ponzoñosa. Su palabra siembra desconfianza, imparte malas enesifanzas, derrama sombra en las conciencias y acbfir en los corazones. Las mismas cuartillas que ellos violan con la mano que la impulsa. La idea de estos espiritus funestos para la generosa obra del verdadero periodista debía de escribirse en el mar y no sobre el papel.
Continuidanos de la raza negra, salud:
Nos aceramos al finalizar del año 1930, el cual ha sido para nosotros como constituyentes de una grande y noble raza, un año de grandes pruebas y de mayores dificultades, desde el punto de vista económico. Pero apesar de todo hemos vivido con la esperanza de afrontar un nuevo año que nos brinde prosperidad y felicidad.
El gran arca de suguridad de nuestra raza, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto, de la raza Negro, ha continuado a flote en su curso alrededor del mundo; y en cada puerto donde haya arriado su ancla, los sentimientos y principios que encarria han sido aceptados incuestionablemente por nuestro pueblo. Queda de nuestra parte el determinar hacia que grado debemos propagar esos principios de enaltecimiento, con el objeto de llevarlos a la realización en pro de la gloria de nuestra noble causa.
El periodo de navidades es una época de vida nueva, porque ella nos brinda la inspiración del Gran Espíritu, cuyo atalicio es conmemotado universalmente. Abrigamos la peranza de que los cuatrocientos millones de nuestra raza insideran seriamente; en esta época del año, los deberes y determinación que haga nuestra labor no solamente un éxito sino un triunfo completo.
Y los malos periodistas, los periodistas, malvados, son los que abundan. Viven ara deshonra de los apistoles de la idea, para proyector sombra donde ellos illuminan. Estos espiritus maleficios deshonran la obra, y la entercence. Hay otros elementos nocivos que el que lee el periodico desconoce: son los colaboradores gratuitos. Los primeros deforman la obra civilizadora, perolos segundos la obstruyen.
Anhelamos nueva vida y nuevas energías para llevar adelante nuestra gran causa emancipadora. Aquellos que han seguido paso a paso las huellas de nuestro movimiento, tienen que admitir su potencialidad y el engrandecimiento de sus fuerzas en lo que adeptos respecta. Hemos de manifestar aquí nuestra gratitud por la lealtad manifestada entre los miembros, cuya actitud sincera ha contribuido grandemente al progreso de nuestra causa, en su camino hacia la redención de nuestro pueblo.
Un colaborador gratuito, incapaz de ilustrar, ignorante de la gramatica, del difícil arte de escribir, es un elemento que debería de desterrarse de la república de las letras, arrojarse del templo del periodismo.
De estos colaboradores, *nios escriben y los otros aconsejan*. Los unos sirven para llenar con sandecas que el público tiene que tolerar las columnas del diario que podian ser utilizables para solan o cultivo del lector. "El otro no escribe pero se yergue en censor. El primero protesta e insulta al periodista si su crónica que el llama literaria, no se publica. El segundo consuta lo que se publica y no está conforme a su criterio obsuo. El uno es celílogoso pero el otro es funesto.
El aniversario grandilocuente del nacimiento del Mesías, será celebrado una vez mas con todo el esplendidos y solemn-sera celebrado una vez mas con todo el esplendor y solemnidad con que razas todas del-orbe que comulguen con la san-tipiad, crean en las misión de haber traido hacia nosotros la redención espiritual de la garn familia humana. No cabe duda que Cristo existiera; pero su objetivo, lo principal de su venida en descenso milagroso hacia laierra, como embajador del gran artifice del universo, no ha sido completamente entendido ni sancionado por el mundo crisiano hasta la fecha.
Al coloborador gratuito que todos los días invade la redacción con sus espentes literarios, le parece si no se los publican es por envidia o malquerencia. El aconsejador también gratuito, empieza por decir: "Yo hubiera hecho esto o aquello y lo de mis allá." "in vez de este debieron haber puesto aquello." "XO, porqué dejaron de hacer esto, cuando era la nosta del dia." "El aconsejador es al propio tiempo que centrí, porqué indecipaz de contigir una nuna audí, gentil, elegente, finish; pero es capaz de crearse un mentor de periodistas.
Desgraciadamente parece que la verdadera práctica de sus principos, religiosos no se ha entendido aun concretamente. Vivimos en una era de confusión todavía; no nos entedemos los unos con los otros; luchamos por destruirmos, y elio da prueba de que necesitamos el regreso de Cisto, sus prédicas y sus consejos para que se reajustan nuestros males, regule nuestros sentimientos y la paz y la fraternidad reine entre el género humano.
Afrontamos actualmente un mundo que se jace de cristiano, pero que falta de esa igualdad sociaria que nivela los espíritus de una misma fé, presenta un ejemplo de hostilidad do una raza destruya a otra raza, un pueblo aniquila a otro pueblo, el fuerte subyuga al debil abusando de, un cristianismo menudo, haciendo irrisoria la causa grande y noble del Salvador. Todo esto es una grosera especulación que traerá un estado caótico, sino viene a su tiempo la medida necesaria para remediar esa temible desorientación que se deja sentir en el mundo cristiano.
El colaborado gratuito es un apodé diablo que se creen una lumbrera literaria. El inconejador es diablo palo que se ciene todos los días sobre el periodico y sobre el periodista.
Este martirio del que hace obre periodística, acrece con la obligación de dar noticias y escribir notas y editoriales para todos los gustos. Y para satisfacer los tiempo que torturase la mente, voler de aquí para alla en la caza de la nora diaria pulipiante, del día, ademiya de andar a mandobles con, los colaboradores gratuitos, con los consejeros, los encupijadores y las eibandijas de toda napas que pululan el periodico. Y su obra solo dura un día, una hora, el minuto en que se lee. Es figura, para aumento de torturas.
En esta época, aniversario de la venida de Cristo, creo oportuno llaman la atención al universo de cuan hondos son nuestros males, nuestras privaciones, nuestras avejaciones como seros humanos. Al celebrar esta fiesta tradicional, no olvidemos lo santo y sagrado de la misma; recordemos lo, que ello significa y celebremosla con la dignidad y sanciona espiritual, como el mas grande de los aniversarios del género humano.
Si nosotros pudieramos en estas navidades, convertir la debilidad de las tal llamadas razas superiores; y conseguir que todas ellas realizasen con sinceridad, el amos fraterno, y que este sentimiento se posara en el hombre sin miramiento de nacionalidad alguna, entonces habriamos conseguido alcanzar en este aniversario de la cristiandad, la influencia necesaria para una paz duradera.
Pero can apestal tiene sus compensaciones, muy gratas al espíritu. Su triunfo, consiste en haber podido interpacar un anhelo, un sentimiento, una idea de la comunidad. Cada vez que ha podido penetrar por los sutiles vertetos del alma abstracta de su pueblo, ha conseguido una victoria. Vivir las alegias, los anhelos las tristezas de la generalidad, es su mayo satisfacción. Cuando se recorrió, caro lector, plácidamente, las páginas del periódico, recuerde el martirio de los periodistas y dedique una palabra de redonocimiento a quienes le sirven un manjar diario grato al espíritu, un manjar al, cual al dfa siguiente le querrá encontrar oro sabor.—J. Chionio.
Con mi mejor deseo por unas felices pascuas y un feliz
afio nuevo, tengo el honor de ser

¿Cualquiera, que tenga sentido común creerá — pregunta — que la articulada India, que comprende una gran mayoría de gentes que piensan, se puede contentar con la sardinación permanente a una forma burocrática de gobierno, o ser sometida por una política de sangre y hierro? "Sónar tales sueños mo es cosa de estilidad, sino de alguien totalmente corente del espíritu británico. Después de la consideración más ansiosa con un espíritu de impacialidad y razon en todos los sectores, hemos llegado a la conclusión de que el gran fin viste puede ser alcanzado mediante una legislatura federal en que la India británica se conceatada con los estados en forma tal que la India sea una en pensamiento y en acción."
Sir Herbert Samuel, organizador liberal principal, declaró con toda franquezo que el discurso de Mr. Churchill es de espiritu reacionatio y tono despreciativo.
En nombre de los mejores intereses del inmperio--dijo--los sentimientos expresados por Mr. Churchill debieran ser repudiados inmediatamente, por las representantes de todos los sectores de opinión británicos.
A. V. Alexander, primer ford del Almitantazago, declaró que Churchill habia hecho una de las declaraciones más bastardas que se hayan hecho pruné durante una conferencia nacional, que era un insulto directo a los representamentos hinduces en Inclatera.

needs, simply means giving a person the true worth for his earnings. If one be to minded in any walk of his whether it be social or business, one must be always board and open to any of his dealings with the other fellow.
If a person is honest in his dealings with himself, he will most likely be honest in his dealings with other folks.
How can one be honest with his own self? Do not fool yourself to believing you are doing right, when you know otherwise. This is one way to be honest with one's self. To be honest does not only mean that you should be honest with your handling of monies alone, but that you should give everyone their just due, whether it be a duty or financially.
The trouble, with most of us is that we think, that when we are honest in our dealings with money, so that the other fellow suffers no loss, due to us, that we are honest. But we are wrong again. Honesty does not stop right there. For example, a person that constantly watches the clock or half-does his daily chores. is dishonest. Why? Well, this person is not actually stealing money, but he is stealing something that is very valuable which is time.
Just because time cannot be seen, you may think that this does not count, but you are then taking a selfish point of view. For "time" is SUBSCRIPTIONS to The Negro World Now and Save Money

money, and does not belong to you. If thought out from the proper angles one can readily see, that time is just a privilege or loan to you, to make the most out of it, as you possibly can.
Another point to consider is that you are not giving the person you so can, contact with a fair exchange. One, the gravest friends with most of us, is that when we hair our work or think a duty that should have been done, we put ourselves on the back and say "Tombres." We will catch that part up or recognize that duty that we should have performed today.
Time is valuable, and why throw something away that is valuable, simply because it is intangible. You must also remember that time cannot be required, and by thinking more carefully you will not be no ready to throw it away.
So to be honest with a man you must be fair with all your dealings that pertain to him.
In short, give every person an opportunity deal, this is honesty in the official conception of the word.

GIVE NOW TODAY! For a Worthy Cause!
Some institutions are too proud to appeal for financial help even if they are facing complete collapse. This attitude on their part is not always welcomed by the public, who would be willing to render assistance if they only knew of their plight. Therefore the Negro World is not going to withhold anything from its readers. Money is needed back by just at this time.
Are there fifteen Negro men or women that are interested in our work, who will contribute $100.00 each as a Christmas donation to the Negro World? There surely must be fifteen such readers out of our large number who would welcome such an opportunity to lend their financial aid, especially when there is such dire need for this help! If you cannot give $100.00, what can you give? Please do whatever you can and help us to continue the perpetuation of the ideals of the New Negro Thought!
Send whatever you can direct to the NECESSITY FUND of THE NEGRO WORLD, 355 Lenox Avenue, New York City.
Allow me to thank you a thousand times in advance for whatever your consideration.
ALL DONATIONS WILL APPEAR IN OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER—LET YOUR NAME APPEAR THEREIN.
THIS SUNDAY
The subject gift that can be pro-
nounced by an individual is good health.
In a sense everything else is sup-
ordinated to it. Happiness follows in
its pathway. No great achievement can be successfully accomplished when the body is not working right. Riches cannot be enjoyed in its absence. Beauty fades early when accompanied with bad health. As if on wings strength flies away. The whole outlook on life seems dark when this vital force is in abeyance.
Seeing that an unhealthy person being healthy it is highly necessary that proper precautions should be taken to have and maintain this priceless worth. When once lost it might take a life time and a life savings to redeem it. And it might never be regained wholly. The man or woman who is in full possession of health is far better off than one with a million dollars and in poor health. Its value can only be really appreciated after it is destroyed.
All the great leaders of thought and action have laid emphasis on the prairiegeance of the body in a fit condition. The books on the various religions bear evidence to this illusion. Whilst recognizing the works of others we are very much indebted to the book of books for special emphasis. Health reform is no new mystery. The incidence began thousands of years before the Christian era, and the master handling of diseases and their after effects has its elimination in the Great Physician, whose birth is now being celebrated. Those who gave to acknowledging Hindi is profound saw, and are inspired by the actions of such a magnificent leader who went about doing greed. By words of command accompanied some times with very simple granu-pur

Let us turn once again to attention and consider that the body is able to take care of itself in the majority of cases if given a fair amount of chance. The food ought to be wholesome. The plainer the better it is. The appetites should be held under restraint. Vegetables and fruits in proper proportions are more suitable than meat diet. Water is the best drink. Cultivate a strong will power and intoxicating beverages will be readily discarded. Fresh air is very embracing. A few hours daily should be spent in the open, and the lungs should be filled with air by means of deep breathing. Exercise is very requisite. It gives renewed vigor to the system. The great tendency is to overdo it. Rest is a natural sequence to the latter. The older one gets the longer should be the rest after labor. Sleep is the great restorer of vitality. At least eight hours should be spent in recuperating. Cleanliness is the artistic page in the book on healthful living. Do not neglect it. Cease from worrying as much as possible.
Owing to multiplicity of conditions too numerous to be mentioned some of us will become sick. While spontaneous healing cannot be guaranteed yet the individuals who have made the human subject a special study should be consulted whenever there is any doubt concerning the health. Give your doctor the opportunity to tide you over. See that you are fit to begin another year of struggle. A Merry Christmas to you!

To us is born this day the child Jesus the Christ. The shepherds and wise men are now wending their way toward Bethlehem, there to behold the wonder of God. Because, there, in a manger, is to be found the Baby Christ who is to be the Resfermer of the world.
With all the preparations the human race has made to welcome into the world the Christ who is to redeem us, we find ourselves still fighting, still in confusion, still exploiting, still merciless in our outslaught one upon the other. But on THIS Christmas morn may we not all members and brothers of the human family, forget our differences, and in one glorious chorus sing out to the world "Peace, Perfect Peace"
Instead of planning a career, of sin on this Christmas morn, let us lift our thoughts to that grand and noble Father who gave us to us on this day His Royal Son, whom He has made our brother, and ask Him to bless each and every one of us that our great Lord has given us the spirit of the first Christmas morn. That first day in the stable at Bethlehem was a beacon of a new born hope for with the birth of the Prince of Peace there came to us an age of
Struggling Masses
The following are true:
CONTENTS FROM 1942
not call it love, but call it call it patriotism, but call it patriotism must have a basic diametrically opposed in the conditions affecting the Negro in America. Any other race would have either forsight and died, or left, country. We stay, suffer, endure, and the problem with a belief that we will solve it. In this, I see the patience of Job, the antithesis of a Gaylord, the endurance of an on, the unconscious quiet of a fox, and the purity of a Nunhead, or the harmlessness of a dove.
As a matter of fact, we do not see America. We can only see the problem affecting us, and it is toward the solution of this that all of our effort is directed. We are struggling to get a "rooting" in, and begin for our forward movement. If leading the Nero to cultivate all the natural and business resources within his "American environment"; to establish business where he is, so that he will not threaten the A. & P. stores and other large businesses (where his patronage is not needed), that if they do not give employment of the Nero that the more will pay off them to open doors to the many colored boys who together with their parents, have struggled and succeeded in order that they might be well skilled in the art and sciences, which education will be an opportunity to the fellow workmen in amy life. To make the Nero a sentient force in the present administration and a constructive part of constructive history that is now in the making of life in Europe, then I want the work) to know that I am a Garrettie.
Mr. Kinnifloris is an American entrepreneur, Loksh of the business "Burmese Development in Pakistan. If we go that treating as an honor for a great movement, there is no I do thing where you will be willing to go. It is not possible for us to establish business here and so properly manage and develop them that we may be enabled to branch out and build inspected enterprise in Africa, placing them under the directory of strong, healthy well trained men and women, and continue its imminent, thus colonizing and revolutionizing conditions there? If this is the meaning of Carvoylis, I can safely say it is the greatest program for the development of macro-consciousness and for the establishment of an economic strength that would eventually mean the independence of the Negro in America. I say that it is the greatest movement that has ever been fostered by any man in the history of the Negro in America.
Even if the American Negro intelligence did happen to be misinformed as to Mr. Garvey's ultimate目的, their culture which presupposed a knowledge of the psychology of applicants should have impelled them to hob-nose with Mr. Garvey to the end of giving him in, at least, the development of the Negro in his own environment. Was this not the so-

gain of the immortal Booker T. Washington? This would have unanimated the Negro in America from the place of childish dependence which he paw suffers.
Incidentally, I regret that I must make the poignant statements concerning the preacher that I have made. I do not wish to convey the erroneous impression that I think him to be a necessary evil, nor do I mean to attack the sacriety of his calling; but I do most emphatically hold that he is losing the respect of the holy, due to the fact that he rejoices to live with them when he is compelled to depend upon them, for his support. "If the Elder" of Jesus' to please Jesus' murder Nagath," "It is nothing to the preacher."
1200 suppose that we have about 10,000 preachers, imploring from five to nine million Negroes to spend their time, influence and money with the Negro in business. Suppose these preachers in conjunction with the political social and fraternal organization would put on a special Negro in Business Drive, having to about a year to inform, lectures heart-tender talks and in every other way available all working in concert. All of these organizations would have larger memberships, smaller X. P. D. lists and a more enclosed personnel. The preachers would have larger and more meaningful meetings and those opportunities that would more than ever financial needs of the church with cut off monthly bargaining, buying and selling a market place in church meetings, a spiritually rather service. The people would begin to see heaven strongly through the wine, heart, faithfully guidance of the preacher.
When the wealth of the Negro in America is imminent up the church institutions and fraternal temples, eleven in for a large share of the total wealth. But, so a matter of fact this type of wealth is a major and beholdish to the actual wealth that counts for something, yet the masses are responsible for the commerce in just what do I mean? These are millions of persons who are not members of those fraternal groups who spend millions of dollars toward their support. It is not always that man can pay his large investment, assessment, etc., at the same time he has full duty toward his family. In this case the mother and children are often compelled to do without the actual necessities of life in order that dad may "keep up" his ledge. This is done in every fraternal organization: yet these mothers and children are not members of the organizations, and there are millions of them. Now in the light, of returns for their manners, what returns do they get? I do not forget the consideration shown to the members at death. If manuel, but suppose they have been members for more than twelve or fifteen years without ever having an incumbrance on the edge.
(To Be Continued)
5. "But Negroes want to break down the social line between the races." Who told you so? The finest types of Negro leaders deny it emphatically. They say frankly that they prefer the society of their own people. Perfectly natural, too. Besides, experience does not justify any such charge. Negroes want justice; not social relations. Education, protection, decent living conditions, a chance to develop their best—these are the things they ask. And these represents the white man must grant. If he proposes to be even reasonably fair.

(b) And that the Executive Divisions and the Royal Guard Divisions, both of New York City, consider it their sacred duty to be united into one body for the patriotic purpose of strengthening the Garvey movement with intelligent and constructive leadership, and therefore the Executive Officers of both Divisions hereby proclaim themselves united."
Miss DeMena, Recording Secretary
A committee consisting of all the officers of the two divisions was appointed to thrash out ably differences if any and formulate plans for the efficient working of the United Division to start its activities from the beginning of next year. It will meet under the neutral chairmanship of Mr. Mudgal. Miss Berniza DeMena was unanimously appointed Recording Secretary at the instance of Mr. H. G. Sallus, Mr. Mudgal and General Wolthey.
Mr. Mudgal regretted, however, to ask that Mrs. Emily D. Capers, president of the Garvey Club, stood regrettably against every idea of unity for what reason he did not know, he said. But he had high tribute to the courage and patriotic zeal of Mrs. L. W. McCarthy, acting president of the

All Right in His Place
2. "Oh, yes," someone says, "the Negro is all right in his place." An obvious truth that often hides a fallacy; for generally it means that the man who uses it has already assumed to fix the Negro's place as one of interest, inferiority and servitude. But has one human being the right thus to rule another and to deny him the chance to improve his status?
Am I God, that I should set limits to the possibilities of any of God's children?
I set that is the philosophy of some people who would keep the Negro ignorant, order to keep him subservient and content. It is the philosophy of a past, and of paganism. The highest sovereign, not the selfish convenience of a law, is the only standard that meets the test of twentieth century intelligence and Christianity.
Negro Intelligence and Ability
2. But, no genuine Negro ever showed real intelligence or ability? Do you think not? What about George Carver, the South's foremost agricultural chemist and Fellow of the London Royal Society of Arts? What about Phyllis Wheatley, African-American shower who wrote much poignant poetry that she most complimented by President Washington and entertained by the royalty of England? What of Robert R. Mobley, head of Tinkercole Institute, a school with 2,000 students and an annual budget of half a million dollars? What of Roland Heyer, world-famous tenor, who singes perfectly in four languages and has been honored in the crowned heads of Europe? What of Mary McLeod Bethune, who has united a great school for girls at Dayton, Florida, with a plant worth $300,000? What about hundreds more who have achieved notably in spite of great handicaps. Better inquire before you retell that particular folklore event.
No Part in History
4. "The Negro has had no worth
print in American history." some one
says. No?
Find you heard that Oriental Alquicks, a Negro, was the first martyri of American independence; that Peter Salent, a Negro, was the hero of the Battle of Bunier Hill; that Salem Poor, another Negro, distinguished himself in the same battle; that 5,000 American Negroes took part in the Revolutionary War; that General Andrew Jackson warmly commented the courage of the Negro troops at the Battle of New Orleans and credited them with the death of the British commander; that Commandore Perry surrendered in high praise of his Negro sailors in the Battle of Lake Erie; that Negro distinguished themselves in the Spanish American War at Guessina, El Carpenter, and San Juan Hill; that two Negroes were the first American soldiers decorated in the World War; that four online Negro regiments were cited for bravery in that war, and that sixty Negro officers received decorations? Look up the record. You'll find it interesting.

at the disposal of any and all factions
that would like to come together.
Asked as to what attitude Col. St William Grant, president of the Tiger Division had taken towards the Unity Conference, Mr. Mudgal seemed to applaud the question, but he revealed that Col. Grant did not even show the courtesy of answering, even though in the negative, the invitation sent to him to join the Unity Conference, Mr. Mudgal is, however, optimistic, later on even the Tiger Division would join the united group of Gareyites, if they were groups that have united at present were to do constructive work and give intelligent leadership.
The members and leaders of this united group have a great responsibility, in the opinion of Mr. Mudgal, not only towards Gareyites in New York City, but to Gareyites all over the world. They should set an example of selfless enleavage and courageous leadership.

We white Americans are just as bad. We think ourselves the sick of the world "Gods last and best" the world "these and Koreans and East Indians and down on us in turn, as vulgar, excitable, unwieldy, superficial thinkers and realists. Nor do Europeans think much better of us if the truth were told.
It is high time for the world to outgrow that fallacy. Nobody knows which is the superior race—or whether there be one. All we can say is that we differ in physical characteristics and in degree and kind of development. History shows that the backward race of one age often becomes the dominant race of the next, and vice versa. It behoves us all to be humble to remember that we are all human beings, owing to each other respect and good will. And the more advantaged any of us happen to be, the greater is our obligation to serve the others.

There were 28 souls who were

The French people expect that Abd-Al-Delim will live down his pensions and upkeep against France in this humiliated and princely method of life.

Military Bank French
The most of the stockage of the railroad which the Ethiopians and the French are supposed to manage is in Ethiopia, not more than four hours out of three days being in French Somaliland. But from the French port of Djibouti to Addis Ababa, not one Ethiopian is to be seen looking after the finances of the road, outside of customs. The sale of tickets, collections for articles carried on the trains, or for freight, or any other government claims, are in the hands of Frenchman. A traveler would easily get the impression that the railroad was owned by the French.
Queer Bank Rules
The bank of the country is a particular source of trouble. The bank notes of the bank at Addis Ababa are only payable in full at that place. If one wishes to have them exchanged at Dire Down, at the branch bank, it is necessary to accept a 2 per cent discount. Dire Down merchants will not accept Addis Ababa bank notes.
The Maria Theresa dollar, minted at some city in Europe, is the coin chiefly used. Its value is about forty cents. The Addis Ababa bank notes were made for use in that city because foreigners objected to the weight of the silver dollars. The Ethiopians, however, take delight in stacking them up. They may frequently be seen with large dry goods boxes, crammed with shining dollars. The Ethiopian is known as a great fighter by the natives of the surrounding countries. He rides around on his mule with from six to twelve servants or slaves running along by his side, carrying a few rusy rides or shot-guns. No single army could defeat the Ethiopians on foot because the soldiers of no other country could climb the steep precipices and mountains.
The Ethiopians are great climbers and can outlast a Sudanese cane walking. The modern army has to stop, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That is not true with the Ethiopian. All he needs is a handful of grain. This he ties in the corner of his shamam, throwing one grain in his mouth at a time as he walks along. He never misses his mouth.

was *Bastianus* once admired. This despotism was the reason of South Africa, who at though degenerate, enappared with the superman forefathers, display still a great genius for art. They still claim to cherish what their great and illustrious protagonists thought was at five o'clock. And that is the reason way these supermen lost in the battle of life and that is why, the present-day "bushman" have been robbed—of all by European men and women who move with a "modern tempo."
These supermen of South Africa had the finest capacity to enjoy life—the capacity of love, love, to rejoice, which the modern man has lost. They had a keenness and relish in the mere act of living that none of us can fathom today. Measured by the modern standard of commercial success they were a failure. But by that standard the previous generations of whatever race would be a failure. But measured by the current standard of capacity to live and in the untainted, natural world of the prehistoric times, they were the triumphs their epoch. But why did not these supermen continue to produce better types? Does not evolution teach us that we are destined to produce a better race progressively? To such questions as these anthropologists are asking wewers in hesitant tones let they might knock down the pedestal their little gods of "race superiority" "scientific spirit," "western civilization" etc.
It is claimed that these supermen of South Africa were more hunters. When Asia discovered the art of agriculture the 'Negroes' from North Africa learned it and carried it southward. Culturally speaking, they were better fitted to survive. Their enslaughter could not be checked by the supermen who could not change their ways. Hence the latter had to give way to the northern Negro who was better fitted to carry on the newer mode of life.
The modern world has a lesson to learn in this romantic episode of the supermen of South Africa. The economic life being changed by the new economic theories such as Communism and their concepts of life that are now neolithic in the Oriental world, especially China and India. These may affect the standards of living and systems of production in the "Eastern world, which might lead to the passing of the 'white supermen' of our own time.
