Clayton Powell Read Resignation Sunday Morning Abyssinian Pastor Resigns His Charge Unanimously Vote Refusal to Accept Resignation, Led by Chairmen of Trustee and Deacon Boards--Action a Surprise If an earthquake had shaken Manhattan last Sunday, it would not have surprised the congregation of the Abyssinian Baptist Church more than did the reading of Rev. A. Clayton Powell's resignation as pastor at the close of the morning service. THE AGE learns from authoritative sources that Dr. Powell has been talking with his officers and other leading members of the church for the past year about resigning from the pastorate and devoting the remainder of his life to evangelistic work, the lecture platform, and the publishing of sermons; but no one, not even Mrs. Powell, expected him to present it last Sunday. FAMOUS "HELL FIGHTERS" PICTURES AGAIN READY FOR THE AGE READERS The Publisher of THE NEW YORK AGE, after many months, has again secured a supply of copies of the famous oil painting, "First To The Rhine," showing the Old 15th (New York) Regiment, the "Hell-Fighting Fifteenth," as the French called it, as it actually appeared in action, advancing through Alsace, France, as advance guard of the 1614 French Division. The painting by S. J. Woolf, one of America's leading portrait painters, shows the Old 45th with Col. William Hayward in command, accompanied by Regimental Adjutant Ferguson and Lieut. Tessier, the French liaison officer. Many of the figures of the men are actually portraits. The reproduction rights belong exclusively to THE AGE. It is printed on heavy calendared paper, 8-by 12 inches, by four-color process in the original colors and is a faithful replica of the mammoth oil original, which now hangs in the lime of Col. Hayward. Only subscribers to THE AGE can secure these copies. Send $2.25 for one year's subscription and cost of mailing, and the picture will be sent. Old subscribers, not in arrears, can get the picture by paying a year in advance, plus 25 cents for cost of mailing. Subscribers who paid for the picture during 1920, but who were not supplied before the issue was published, will receive their copies as soon as they can be forwarded. VOLUME 35. No. 13.

Wilson Dixon, chairman of the trustee board, moved that the congregation refuse to accept the pastor's resignation. This was sounded by the obstructer, John H. Page, chairman of the board of deacons, William H. Taylor and by at least three hundred members of the congregation. The motion was unanimously opposed by a rising vote. Every available space in the church was occupied and the visitors were as strong in their protest against the pastor severing his relations with the church as were the members. Dr. Powell has been pastor of the church for thirteen years and the congregation was never more prosperous and harmonious than now. Plans and specifications have been prepared for the creation of one of the finest and largest churches in the country, on lots recently purchased in Harlem. $15,000 has been paid on these lots and about $0,000 is on hand with which to begin the construction of the new edifice more than 1,200 members have been added to the church in the past two years and the offerings run from $300 to $500 a Sunday. When approached by an Ack representative, Dr. Powell declined to furnish a copy of his letter to the church for publication, but said he was being besieged by all classes of people, both in and out of the church, to withdraw his resignation. "I do not wish," said he, "to further discuss the affair until I have reached a decision and conveyed that decision to my officers and church. "I will say, however, that if this popular protest together with the unanimous vote of my church, did not weigh heavily upon my mind and make me think seriously of reconsidering the step taken last Sunday morning, I would be both ungrateful and unhuman."

TENANTS Counselor John William Smith was the attorney for tenants of 131 West 142nd street in the 7th district municipal court presided over by Justice Thomas E. Murray on Monday, December 5th, in a case brought by the landlord, Julia Mahoney of 54 Edgecombe avenue, who was seeking to enforce action for an exhorbitant increase in the rent. These tenants had stood three raises of rent in the past three years, and on October 1st the landlord sought to put into effect an additional raise of from $15 to $20 on each apartment. The apartments are old law tenements, deficient in improvements and repairs of any consequence had been made in three years. A jury in Part III of the court heard the case, which consumed practically all of Monday. It was continued to Wednesday, December 7th, at which time the jury returned, a verdict in favor of the ten tenants, granting each tenant $10 costs and jury fees in addition, amounting to $130. Counselor Smith was the democratic candidate for Alderman from the 21st A. D., and one of his strongest campaign arguments was the light in behalf of tenants which he has made. NEW YORK, N.

Specially Requests That Black Soldier Boys, Successors to Famour "Hellfighting 15th" Form Guard of Honor as He Take Ship For France The 15th Regiment, N. Y. G., was signally honored on Wednesday, December 14th, when Colonel Arthur Little, commanding, was ordered to assemble the regiment at 7:30 a.m., for the purpose of serving as a guard of honor to the great French generalissimo, Marshal Ferdinand Foch, who has been the guest for several weeks of the American Legion. Marshal Foch sailed at noon Wednesday on his return to France and the 15th regiment was the only military organization detailed to form his escort. And it was due to a personal request from the French Marshal that this was so. He had personal contact with the Old 15th New York which served in the World War under Colonel William Hayward as the 369th A. E. F., and it was one of the French officers serving under Marshal Foch that gave the New York City Negro regiment its wartime appelation—"The Hellfighting 15th," or "Snakes." So, after being feted and honored in all parts of the country, he paused on crossing the country's threshold, in departing to pay a final tribute to the gallant black soldier boys of America.

Ogden of New York, placed in the Robert Curtis Ogden auditorium in Hampton Institute, was recently unveiled, with the principal address being made by Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell of Richmond, Va. The table was given by the late Edward Van Ingen of Brooklyn, N. Y., a lifetime friend of the school, and it was designed and executed by A.

Mr. Ogden served as tristeur of Hampton Institute for thirty-nine years, 1974-1913, and was president of the board from 1984 until he died. The inscription on the tablet, which was prepared by Mr. Van Ingen prior to his death reads: "Cherished and trusted friend of admiralty from the very birth of Hampton Institute, he never faltered in his devotion to the ideals of the founder. His labors for the uplifting and encouragement of the Negro community, constant and self-sacrificing. Work in counsel, a strong exercise, his beautiful character, all his life long, an inspiration to those who worked with him. His memory is blessed." Dr. Mitchell, who is a trustee of Hampton, a member of the Inter-Racial Commission, and a professor in the University of Richmond, declared in his address that "among the millions of children in the South who will receive a better training and have better facilities in the schools that they attend; among the millions of people who will get a larger yield from each acre of land; among the millions of people who will be protected from preventable disease; among the millions of people who will share a southerner community life; who will have a larger outlook, and who will have a greater spirit of fellowship in our democracy—Robert Curtis Ogden lives in all of these."

P. former president of Wellesley College for some ten years. Since her retirement she has devoted much of her time and philanthropies toward the promotion of the education of Negro youth.

Miss Hazard was accompanied by her cousin, Miss Alice Tierney of Philadelphia. During her visit the students and members of the faculty had the pleasure of listening to a splendid address delivered by Miss Hazard in the institute chapel. She commanded the work of Tuskegee Institute, the accomplishments of the founder, Dr. Booker T. Washington; the manner in which the affairs of the Institute are being conducted and the progress which is being made under the present administration of Dr. Robert R. Moton; and referred to Negro music, as was sung by the Institute choir, declaring it to be a distinct contribution to that art and advised the students to cherish it forever as one of the choirst gifts of the race. Miss Tierney also addressed the assemblage and pointed out what Tuskegee Institute had meant to the progress of the Negro and the many opportunities which were presented to the students here and advised them to take advantage of these rare opportunities.

Ku Klux Klan Waylays Man Near Jersey Headquarters Former Member, Repudiating Organization and Condemming Imperial Officers at Klan Meeting in Brooklyn, is Seized and Whipped in N. J. Captain G. A. (Henry) Rau, residing at the Delta Phi fraternity house of Columbia University at 602 West 116th street, was severely beaten by supposed members of the Ku Klux Klan on Saturday evening, December 10th, near Montvale, N. J., where he was spending the weekend with relatives. Rau was waylaid by the masked riders when on his way home from an evening party. Behind this incident appears a story which indicated that the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, are bringing to the northern states the same kind of activity which has featured their work in Georgia and Texas. Rau was formerly a member of the Klan, having been misled by the spacious arguments advanced by its agents. When he discovered its true character he promptly severed his connection. He held a captain's commission Captain Ran left his rooms at the fraternity house on Thursday night December 8th, to attend a Klan meeting in Brooklyn. He told his roommate that he was quitting the order and intended "bawling out" the imperial kleagle, Edward Young Clark at Atlanta, who was to be at the meeting. His roommate heard nothing from him during Friday and Saturday, so on Sunday evening he notified the police and bad an alarm sent out. Near Klan Headquarters. Just what happened at the meeting has not come out. But it is believed that the attack was a direct result of remarks made by Rau against Clarke and of the Klan officials at the Brooklyn meeting, when about two hundred Knights were present. Where he was attacked, it is pointed out, was within two miles of Pearl River, N. J. a town which contains the headquarters of the strongest Klan group in New Jersey. Rau's story is to the effect that he went from his relative's house into the town of Montvale, a distance of about three miles, to attend a party. He left the dance between 8.30 and 9 o'clock, and started to walk back to the house. About half way out he was overhauled by four masked men in an automobile. They seized him, tore the garments from upper part of his body, minging him with part of his shirt. With his necktie they bound his wrists and the ends were knotted over the limbs of a tree standing near the road. He was then lashed with a thin trow into which knots had been tied; the blows raising weks and finally drawing the blood. As one of the men cut the geckie from the tree limb, the masked figure remarked, "This undestroys the first lesson." As Rau's feet struck the ground he was stumped by a blow on the head. Men of Low Calibre. Some hours later he managed to get to the home of his cousin, Major Allison Morris, formerly a member of Major General John F. O'Ryan's staff. His wounds were dressed by the major's alter-mawl. His injuries were said by Major Morris to be severe. His head was badly swollen, his back lacratered and cut, and both hands were in bandages as a result of the fight which he put up against the masked raiders. Rau was brought back to New York City Sunday and taken to the Hotel Buckingham, Fifth avenue and Fiftieth street. When seen by a reporter, he declared in definite terms that he had been completely disillusioned regarding the herebled ideals of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan since he became a member nine months ago, and that he and the friends he had persuaded to join were out of it for good. He stated that at the meeting in Brooklyn he stood practically alone in his criticism of Clarke, his attitude being based upon failure of officials to reply on charges made against them. "I am no longer a member of the K. K. K," said Ran. "The imperial wizard is a figurehead. All the imperial officers I have seen are of the lowest possible calibre of man." The wounded man lodged complaints with the Burgern county police and thinks he may be able to identify his assistants. The method of whipping used is similar to that used in natives of Haiti, it is said.

A disastrous fire, on the night of Wednesday, December 7th, destroyed completely the famous Shorter Hall at Wilberforce University. This building was erected thirty years ago, following destruction of the original building by fire during the presidency of Bishop D. A. Fayne. The fire, attributed to defensive wiring in attic of the north building, was discovered by students returning from prayer meeting held in Hallway Hall. President J. A. Gregg and Secretary Jenkens were first on the scene, joined soon after by Superintendent Berry, Bishop Joshua H. Jones, Dean Jones, W. A. Anderson and others of the faculty and student body. Attempts to get control of the fire were yank. Franctie appeals were sent to the authorities at Xenia and other nearby towns, but none would send assistance. Their refusal to render assistance spelled the building's doom as adequate firefighting apparatus could have saved it. The students had practically everything they had. Two hundred boys are without sleeping quarters and many of them without clothes. Governor Davis, through effort by H. E. Schmidt of Xenia, sent one hundred cots and two hundred blankets for use by the boys. The local Red Cross under Mrs. Schlaifer also extended and. Temporary provision for the boys has been made in class rooms of the college department and people of the neighborhood have opened their homes also. A campaign for funds to rebuild has been started.

Norfolk, Va.—"White people are unselfishly organizing themselves and in cooperation with respectable colored people, are striving to see that the Negro gets a fair chance and absolute justice under the laws," declared Dr. Robt. K. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, in the First Baptist Church, Dr. R. H. Bowling, pastor, at a meeting held under appyces of the Negro Chamber of Commerce of Norfolk, H. T. Dickey, president, James E. Scott, secretary-manager. Dr. Moton spoke on the value of industry, racial integrity and morality. He made a plea that the two races should learn to live together peacefully and harmoniously, thus sharing the blessings of prosperity, and referred to the community service of the colored doctors of Norfolk who, since May, had given free treatment to 1000 colored clinic patients, and Berry O'Kelley of Method, N.C., who recently gave $5,000 for a colored school. "There are certain organizations among white people and among black people," declared Dr. Moton, "which are built up almost wholly on the idea of race hatred. Such organizations bring disgrace on the Nation. It is not necessary in a democratic and civilized country, particularly in the south, where relations between the races are growing more friendly each day, for white people to organize themselves against any supposed or imaginary aggression of black people. "It is not necessary, on the other hand, for black people to organize for the protection against the white people, when white people are unselfishly organizing themselves and, in cooperation with respectable colored people, are striving to see that the Negro gets a fair chance and absolute justice under the laws. This is true in every Southern state, in spite of much that you may hear to the contrary." ACID IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION ACID IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Can, Sources and Pain How To: Create Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, blasting nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sources, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try lasing aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

Hall, Census Bureau Statistical Expert.) Washington, D. C.—It only requires about one-half of an acre of improved farm land per capita annually to furnish the wheat, vegetables and squall fruit consumed by each person in this country; yet we find that if in twenty northern and in one border state, the people of our racial group were compelled to depend entirely upon the farmers of their race, in their respective states, for nothing but their supply of bread and vegetables, they would soon feel the pain of hunger and be shaking hands with Saint Peter. In only two states, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, both highly industrialized, do we find less than half of an acre of improved farm land per capita for the white inhabitants, but in these twenty-one states our population in the industrial centers has increased to such an extent, during recent years, that as a group we are no longer self-sustaining a agriculturally. Per Capita Consumption. In this connection it might be well to recall the old saying that "Man does not live by bread alone," and to remember that in addition to the consumption of a trifle more than six bushels of wheat per year, we have a per capita consumption of sixty pounds of beef, 70 pounds of pork, more than 12-12 pounds of lard; nearly nine pounds of veal, about six pounds of mutton and lamb, about nine and one-half pounds of rice and about one and one-quarter bushels of corn. And this is not full, unless we consider as unessential such things as milk, butter, eggs, fowls, and the six pounds of wool and the nearly thirty pounds of cotton that enter into the list of our per capita requirements, not mentioning the per capita consumption of such articles as sugar, tea and coffee, which are imported in large quantities from other countries. It is perfectly clear that these food and clothing supplies upon which our very existence depends cannot be raised upon one-half of any acre or less of im- Salem, Va.-A. B. Campbell, a well known and prosperous business man, who was highly respected by all who knew him, both white and colored, died Monday night, November 2nd, without a moment of warning. Mr. Campbell bore the remarkable record of having attended church every Sunday but six for 25 years. He gave liberally to every good cause brought to his notice, and was a leader among his people.

An interesting and valuable treatise on "Ringworm and Its Successful Treatment" gives the results of the efforts of Dr. John P. Turner in combating this affection. Dr. Turner is a medical inspector of public schools in Philadelphia and the treatment devised by him has proved remarkably efficacious, according to the testimony of Dr. Walter S. Cornell, director of medical inspection of public schools in that city. In his introduction Dr. Cornell says: In the year 1913 the Reynolds public school, Philadelphia, with a population of six, hundred children was badly infected with ringworm. About eighty cases were discovered, of which at least one-half were ringworm of the scalp. In view of the obstinate nature of the latter infection, the proper conduct of the school was a serious problem. Dr. Turner consented to undertake the treatment of these cases in connection with his work as medical school inspector and effected a complete cure—a remarkable achievement deserving of medical notice. With this record of practical results attained, the value of Dr. Turner's treatment stands beyond question, especially as it has been treated by him in thousands of cases during the past ten years. Ringworm is not a new malady, but as we are told, this disease has been studied for over one hundred years and various treatments advocated. One old fashioned treatment, to recall it rightly, was to soak a copper cove in vinegar and then apply it to the affected spot. Needless to say, Dr. Turner does not mention this ancient specimen. The disease is apt to crop out wherever numbers of school children are found and a neglected case in a classroom is liable to spread throughout the school. Besides affecting the personal appearance of the child, it causes discomfort by itching and scaling. The treatment used by Dr. Turner is recommended as simple, easy of application and intolerable, so that any parent or guardian may apply it. Before describe the remedies used, Dr. Turner gives the history of ringworm, its diagnosis, differential diagnosis and pathology. Each hallstone plates serve to illustrate his discussion of the disease, which should be of interest to the medical fraternity at large as well as to those lay readers who have come in contact with such cases. Among characteristics of ringworm noted by Dr. Turner is the statement that it is found more frequently among Negro children than among whites. He also gives some "Don't" in the care of such cases for practical application. The work is from the press of F. A. Davis Company Philadelphia. As an example of intensive study and specializing in the treatment of an obscure public it is delivering of high commen- CENTRALIZING EDUCATION The notice of Tutt Ao. has received circular letter from the Hon. Caleb R. Layton, Member of Congress from Delaware, in which information is sought as to the state of public sentiment in regard to making education the duty of the nation, instead of the state, is at present. The specific question to be answered is "Whether or not you favor placing education under a central authority of the government, and taking it out of the hands of the community, and the state." Viewing the question solely from the point of a citizen of New York State and a resident of New York City, we can conceive of no adequate reason for making the change. While the present educational system of the State may not be perfect and the schooling facilities of the city are admittedly inadequate, we feel that they are far better managed and more susceptible to improvement than they would be if placed under a central authority not subject to the direct control of the people of the city and State. Viewing the question from the standpoint of a citizen who is also a Negro with specific reference to the educational system, or rather lack of system that obtains in many of the Southern States, we would say that any change that would take the matter of education out of the hands of the States would be a blessing. If the placing of education in such States as South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and others of the flow of school age, without regard to race or color, we would favor such control. But such a change probably could not be made unless it applied with equal effect to all the States. The best means of remedying Southern illiteracy and lack of proper educational facilities, that has yet been presented, was in the form of the so-called Blair bill, the project fathered by the late Senator Henry W. Blair. Some legislation of that nature, providing for Federal aid to education in the States where it is most needed, to be administered under Federal supervision and adjusted in proportion to the appropriation made by the State, might meet the emergency. But it should be a condition to such grants that the benefits would be administered equally among the children of school age and not in the unequal proportion now common under State control. There is no use in thinking the facts. When the average yearly expenditure for the schooling of whites in South Carolina is stated as $11.14 as against $1.25 for Negro children, neither race is being given a fair show. The Negro is being pushed down in the mud of ignorance and many of the whites are being kept there with him. The only fair and square thing is to appropriate an adequate amount to give proper instruction to every child and make the amount the same per capita, whether the child be black or white. If the State will not do this, then the Federal authority should be able to step in and do it. While education is primarily the duty of the State, if the State neglects it, the evils of ignorance and illiteracy not only harm the State but the Nation as well. The Nation should have the power to protect itself from this evil. CANDIDATE FOR JUSTICE. CANDIDATE FOR JUSTICE We understand that Mr. Ferdinand Q. Morton is a candidate for the place of Municipal Court Justice, in one of the districts where a vacancy is likely to occur by the promotion of the present incumbent to a higher court. In his effort to attain this honorable ambition, Mr. Morton is accepting and using the endorsements of his fellow citizens of the race, who are posing as independents in politics. Mr. Morton has served for a number of years as an assistant in the district attorney's office, where he has undoubtedly demonstrated his legal ability and has acquired some sort of legal experience. But Mr. Morton has not had any extensive experience in general practice before the bar and his work has been limited to the criminal branches of the law. And then Mr. Morton is the author of the doctrine that "no candidate should seek or expect the vote of the racial group to which he belongs merely because he is a member of that group." In the last municipal election, Mr. Morton took the position that the white candidate for 'alderman in the Nineteenth district who had not the advantage of any previous service.' "is better qualified by reason of his training and experience for that office that Doctor Roberts is." And this despite the fact that Dr. Roberts had a record of nearly two years experience in the aldermanic body and a lot of constructive legislation introduced by him. To be consistent, Mr. Morton should repudiate the support of his colored independent friend, and admit that most any white lawyer is "better qualified by training and experience for the office" of Municipal Justice. Consistency is said to be a jewel, but it is so uncommon to fail of display among those who seek to be political leaders. HASTY ASSUMPTIONS The editor of the New York News made several hasty assumptions, which were not warranted by the facts in the case, when he patted himself on the back in the editorial headed "The They Generally Wobble Right." He started off wrong by saying: "The News takes a pardonable pride in the election of George W. Harris, the Republican candidate for the Board of Aldermen in New York Citys" Passing the grammatical inconsistency of following the name of his paper by the plural form of the verb, it is by no means certain that Mr. Harris has been elected as alderman. A second of the votes in the district has been ordered by the cogit in order to determine which candidate received the highest number. The assumption that Mr. Harris was the only Republican candidate for the Board of Aldermen may be dismissed as a symptom well-known to students of psychology. The further assumption that every district in which colored voters are in a majority gave Harris a majority is also in defiance of the facts. Many of these voters who could not swallow Mr. Harris' record, voted for his opponent, feeling free to do so without risking the loss of racial representation. It was only through the force of partisan loyalty among the white voters of the district, that Mr. Harris received as many votes as he did. The one correct assumption that was embedded in the editorial was that "the oldies; of the three leading colored New York papers was avowedly and militantly anti-Harris." If this means that Tink Axt opposed Mr. Harris's nomination on the ground of his unfairness for re-election, it is only the truth. Axt primed the campaign for its opposition, having been powered or persuaded. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1911. THE DECAY OF CIVILIZATION. Wells and other prophets are using all of the world to the fact that civilization is less, or better, our very noses. If anybody decays which are being pointed out, esp. still feel that everything is all right, they need with a most childlike faith or is people who have brains enough to discern are trying to show the world still their art will work out all right in the end, which do exist. They take refuge in death of human history man has some high these conditions and overcome them. A man has not done. Time and time again man race civilization has been all but extinct it has always been recovered, but at each time been lost in darkness and all forward that is now being pointed out is that they again. There many signs of this decay, but one which were the reports coming out of Paris of Landru, the French "Bluebeard," willing ten of the many women who had murder trials have always been a curious there have been murder trials in the French entirely overshadowed the greatest quest have been more than mere sensations of the Parisians. They have frequent people of Paris, and even of France, into the people in other countries might be question of national importance. This is in French psychology; trial of "Bluebeard" brought to the surface mind, indicate dangerous states of society that on the last day of the trial, the almost to suffocation with women. All had been in the majority, but on the last hundred in the room were women. Six-hour speech for the defense and then to hear the verdict. Landru himself, or reported as saying, "Another day and I was seated. Waiting for the verdict the spectators made was thick with cigarette smoke. The "prest" through the twelve hours, many of the against collapse by the constant use of rows of French soldiers with fixed bayes of the courtroom to hold the crowd was about to be rendered. A Paris dispatch of furred and jeweled Parisiennes sat on the putting with their soldier, or lawyer, or journalizing wine, eating par de fois gras sandwiches, school with shrill feminine laughter. Eighty out the court room were women, and one wondered that they are more cruel than men. Few men we who had to be there. All the women were due of the verdict and whether Landru is a Sadist derer." Men eager to wallow publicly in the filth there is reason to be concerned about station, at least in Paris. H. G. Wells and other prophets are using all of their powers to awaken the world to the fact that civilization is rotting under our very eyes, or better, our very noses. If anybody can read the signs of this decay which are being pointed out, especially by Mr. Wells, and still feel that everything is all right, that person is either blessed with a most childlike faith or is subnormal in mentality. Many people who have brains enough to discern what Wells and others are trying to show the world still their alarms by saying that it will work out all right in the end, regardless of conditions which do exist. They take refuge in declaring that through all the ages of human history man has somehow or other pulled through these conditions and overcame them. But that is exactly what man has not done. Time and time again in the history of the human race civilization has been all but extinguished. It is true that it has always been recovered, but at each relapse centuries have been lost in darkness and all forward movement stopped. What is now being pointed out is that the same thing can happen again. There are many signs of this decay, but one which struck me most forcibly were the reports coming out of Paris regarding the murder trial of Landru, the French "Bluebeard." who was convicted of killing ten of the many women who had been in love with him. Various murder trials have always been a curious phenomena in Paris. There have been murder trials in the French capital which have entirely overshadowed the greatest questions of state. Such trials have been more than mere sensations arousing the morbid curiosity of the Parisians. They have frequently served to divide the people of Paris, and even of France, into two hostile camps, just as the people in other countries might be divided upon a political question of national importance. This is one of the curious things in French psychology. But the trial of "Bluebeard" brought to the surface evidences which, to my mind, indicate dangerous states of society. Reports from Paris state that on the last day of the trial, the court room was packed almost to suffocation with women. All through the trial women had been in the majority, but on the last day eighty out of every hundred in the room were women. They waited through a six-hour speech for the defense and then waited six hours more to hear the verdict. Landru himself, on seeing the crowd, is reported as saying, "Another day and I would not be able to get a seat." While waiting for the verdict the spectators made merry. The courtroom was thick with cigarette smoke. The "prettiest women in Paris" sat through the twelve hours, many of them bracing themselves against collapse by the constant use of brandy. It took three rows of French soldiers with fixed bayonets drawn across the center of the courtroom to hold the crowd back when the verdict was about to be rendered. A Paris dispatch describes the scene in the following language: "It was a truly Parisian drama which for callouser and disregard of the fact that a human life was involved could have been staged only in Paris. The eating, drinking and merriment, while through a little green door ten yards away a human being awaited to hear his fate, suggested the atmosphere of the Coliseum or a bullring. No respect for the court remained. "Parties of furred and jeweled Parisiennes sat on the teps of benches chatting with their soldier, or lawyer, or journalist escorts, smoking, sipping wine, eating pate de fois gras sandwiches, while the court room echoed with shrill feminine laughter. Eighty out of every hundred in the court room were women, and one wondered if the explanation is that they are more cruel than men. Few men were present, save those who had to be there. All the women were discussing the probabilities of the verdict and whether Landru is a Sadist or only a sordid murderer." With women eager to wallow publicly in the filth of a "Blue-beard" trial, there is reason to be concerned about the decadence of civilization, at least in Paris. WHAT IS SOUTHERN BLOOD? war or two Congress is made the scene of a boy who wants to whip every body in sixty-seven periodic for the last sixty years on only few exceptions the bullies have been one of the Mason and Dixon Line. The latter impacted by the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Georgia. Senator Watson is bringing charm in army that there were numbers of American soldiers in France during the great War martial as well as shootings of private Every year or two Congress is made the scene of the actions of some bully who wants to whip every body in sight. These scenes have been periodic for the last sixty years or more, and with extremely few exceptions the bullets have been solons from the other side of the Mason and Dixon Line. The latest of these scenes was enacted by the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, junior Senator from Georgia. Senator Watson is bringing charges against the American army that there were numbers of executions of American soldiers in France during the great War without trial by court martial as well as shootings of privates by their officers. Last week during one of the hearings before the Senate committee which is investigating the charges, Senator Watson suddenly jumped from his seat and, flourishing his fist within a few inches of the face of Major George W. Cochen, exclaimed, "For two pennies I'd hit you in the jaw." Major Cochen is reported to have kept his face steadily front without batting an eye-lash. The Senator then, subsiding in his chair, complained that he did not propose to be insulted by a bull-necked brute. He later explained, in begging the pardon of the committee, that the officer had insulted him by the manner in which he looked at him. He said, "These officers say there and eyed me with an insolence that roused my southern blood." This brings up the question, What is Southern blood; and why is it so much richer and nobler than northern or western blood? Why is it that southerners are so much more susceptible to insult than men in other parts of the country, and why is it that they feel called upon at all times to defend their honor against the slightest insult, with anything from fists to pistols; even after they become members of the United States Senate. This tradition about the richness and nobility of southern blood which is so sedulously fostered in the South is nothing more than a fiction. In fact we know of no group of white men anywhere on the face of the earth who have less to be proud of than the white men of the South. They have contributed less to civilization, done less for humanity in general, and have a lower standard of law and order than any group of white men in any white country that can be pointed out today. "The Sahara of the Bozart," points out the utter cultural decadence of the South. He points out the fact that for a half century the white South has failed to produce even individual first-rate men, and that there are single acres in Europe that house more first-rate men, than all of the states south of the Potomac. He calls attention to the startling truth that "in all that vast region with its thirty or forty million people and its territory as large as half a dozen Frances or Germans, there is not a single poor, not a servant historian, not a credible composer, not a crick, good or bad, not a doctor, and not a lawyer." ```markdown ``` What is it that impels Southerners everywhere and on all occasions to boast and bellow about their superiority? The truth is, they are suffering from a Freudian complex, an inferiority complex. They are consciously and unconsciously attempting to supply what they feel they lack by loudly proclaiming their possession of it. When an army officer, whom Senator Watson is directly or indirectly charging with high crimes and misdemeanors, looks at him with anything but a smile, the Senator feels that he is being insulted, he calls the officer a bull-necked brute and feels impelled to punch him in the face. All of this the Senator ascribes to his "hot southern blood." To our mind this vaunted "hot southern blood" is made up of one-third bad manners, one-third builk and the other third of the spirit to lynch. THE IRISH FREE STATE.

He has agreed good deal short of what they would the world at large the news to This in itself was consummate question, which is the most troubling front, is settled in accordance and George will go down in history Premiers. The agreement has been signed between members of the British cabinet and members of the Sinn Fein-cabinet which will create the Irish Free State in case it is ratified by the Parliaments of the two countries. Ratification of the agreement as originally signed seems probable but by no means certain. As soon as the terms of the agreement were made known several of the Irish-Americans prominent in the fight for Irish freedom raised objections. In this they were following the lead of Mr. De Valera, President of the Irish Republic, and two members of the Irish Cabinet. These Irishmen, opponents of the agreement both in Ireland and in the United States, claim that they will be satisfied with nothing less than absolute independence for Ireland and the establishment of a republic governed and ruled by Irishmen, with no shadow of allegiance to any other power. The agreement which was drawn falls far short of this. It places Ireland in about the same status as Canada and Australia. Ireland will have complete home rule, making her own laws and levying her own taxes, but the members of the Irish Parliament will be required to take an oath of allegiance not only to the free state of Ireland but also to the British government. In addition, the British crown will be represented in Ireland by a governor general sent out from Great Britain. This, of course, represents a vast political advancement for Ireland, an advancement which involves the question as to whether or not after all, Ireland may not be better off materially as a free and autonomous part of the British Empire than as an absolutely independent and separate nation. Such Irish leaders as Griffith, the founder of Sinn Fein, and Michael Collins appear to believe that this is true. Irishmen who have the interest of Ireland deepest at heart—and naturally, they must be the Irish in Ireland—are facing a critical moment. On the one hand they have the ideal for which they have fought for centuries, that of a free and absolutely independent Ireland, an ideal founded upon the fact that the Irish use in no way Britishers and have never been voluntarily a part of the British Empire. On the other hand they have within their grasp a free and autonomous Ireland with its actual independence, limited merely by an oath of allegiance. The latter condition is to be had merely by agreeing to take it. The former cannot be secured except by a renewal of civil warfare which might go on for generations. The irish are a people extremely tenacious to their ideals and would most likely continue the fight which they have already waged for seven centuries if it were not that another element enters into the equation, and it is this—that Ireland cannot today win her cause except she has the sympathy of the world, especially the sympathy of the United States. If she is offered the status which puts her on a level with the great free commonwealths like Canada and Australia and chooses instead the terrible bloodshed and horrors of civil warfare, will she be able to hold the sympathy of the United States? Viewing the outcome of the Irish situation politically, it looks like a supreme stroke of diplomacy for Lloyd George, that most wonderful of all living politicians. He has agreed to give the Irish something a good deal short of what they were demanding, yet he sent out to the world at large the news that Ireland had won the victory. This in itself was consummate diplomacy. If the Irish question, which is the most troublesome question England has to confront, is settled in accordance with the agreement drawn, Lloyd George will go down in history as one of the greatest of British Premiers. THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are supposed to be among the rights guaranteed to every citizen, though the supposition does not always pan out as projected, and happiness is ever ahead of the pursuer. Many of the inhabitants of Harlem have changed this formula of personal rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of pleasure, the last named quality being more easy of attainment. As it is said that all work and no play makes for duliness, the Jacks and Jills of today take their pleasures in large measures, so as to avoid even the suspicion of dull care. The pursuit of pleasure instead of being a relaxation from the more serious callings of life, has become with many the main object of existence. The greater portion of their serious thoughts and mental energies are devoted to planning indulgence in some form of amusement. With nine of ten theatres running at full thast, innumerable calambs and dancing resorts, besides other places where games of chance and other lawless diversions flourish, the temptations toward pleasure seeking are limited only by the purse and the physical endurance of the pursuers. And both of these seem to be strained to the limit. The force of nervous energy and the sums of money expended in the pursuit of pleasure within the boundaries of Harlem are incalculable. A certain degree of legitimate amusement, as an offset and method of relaxation after the exertions of a heavy day, would be within reason, but the constant round of thunder and dancing, halls, cabarets and pool rooms, as the chief aim and object of exhilaration in the name of futility. And then there is a more curious side of this sense of time and energy. When the overconfidently frivolous government becomes full of bored and helpless energy the poor are inundated. signed between members of the of the Sinn Eirein-cabinet which will cease it is ratified by the Parliament.ation of the agreement as originally no means certain: the agreement were made known as prominent in the fight for Irish this they were following the lead of the Irish Republic, and two men of this agreement both in Ireland that they will be satisfied with independence for Ireland and the esperned and ruled by Irishmen, with any other power.

The latter condition in to take it. The former cannot be civil warfare which might go on. Similarly tenacious to their ideals and the fight which they have already not were not that another element is this—that Ireland cannot today sympathize the world, especially states.

It large the news that Ireland had was consummate diplomacy. This is the most troublesome question led in accordance with the agree- go down in history as one of the For some unknown reason the police seem to keep their hand, off these places and their frequenters show no fear of disturbance. A notable feature of this reckless pursuit of pleasure in Harlem is that many of the records that profit the most by the expenditures of the colored amusement seekers are run by white men. This exploitation of the weakness of the race is characteristic. In sporting parlance, "the lid is wide open" in Harlem. Decency and the law require that it should be replaced. But self-restraint on the part of those concerned should curb this reckless pursuit of pleasure. Until that restraint can be impelled to assert itself, there is need for pressure from without to close the prohibited resorts that now floundish at the expense of those who trifle away their time and money. The Odd Fellows Building projected for Harlem is intended to be a tangle-memorial to Peter Odgen, the founder of the order in America. Seventy-eight years ago he brought the seed of the organization across the water from England to this soil where it has grown to a notable degree among members of the race. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Plant was still explaining the political situation in Virginia and claimed a poll of 25,000 votes for the Republican ticket, which he headed. As the Plant editor went on a trip to California after his nomination, he must have given his campaign a correspondence course of absent treatment. The question is how many votes would he have polled if he had remained in the State. The Danger for society caused the persecution danger. The people like it a whole lot. All people like it a whole lot. A publisher's announcement says the "Life and Letters of Benjamin Bancroft," the great Afro-American journalist, written by Dr. Will W. Aller assisted by Daniel Murray, an assistant librarian of the Library of Congress, will soon come from the press. This should be a valuable addition to the volumes of race biography and history now extant. In an address recentl. attended at Hampton Institute. Dr. Woodson, editor of the Negro History, made the following declaration: If the Negroes of this country hope to enjoy the blessings of democracy, they must attain co-ordination; they must have education; they must develop a literate mind; they must develop a literate mind; they must learn the value of education. All of which is necessary and the speaker has taught well as by precepts to the edits has done much in preserving records relating to the history. The hazards of the casualties of the recent season's play have been brought to the doors this year by the Linwood Scott of the Linwood Scott team, which occurred Friday afternoon in a game at Georgia State College expected, the death of the season for be received his injury in the first scrimmage of the game and lived within twenty minutes, without ever having regained concomitance. The total casualties the season placed at twenty-one, which is considered small in a total of more than a hundred thousand playing the game. The St Louis Arons discuss the courage of the upper house of Congress when it says: You can say what you please about Tom Watson of Georgia, but one thing you must give him credit for is that he is able to frighten a Republican Senate into submission to his will. It was not alone fear of Senator Watson, or respect for the practice of senatorial courtesy, that made the senate reject the nomination of Henry Lincoln Johnson for the post of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia but until Mr Johnson himself or certain members of the senate speak out, the cause of his rejection is left to conjecture. Discussing the subject of Negro Fair Business, J. A. Jackson of the Billboard was quoted as emphasizing the need of organization among colored men, whose capital, time and energies are occupied with these interests. He concluded: We need a big body associated with the Negro Business League, this body to be composed of three groups: namely, Fair Officials and Park Owners in one group, Theatre Owners and Manager, Traveling Show Owners and Manager. I shall be glad to talk over the matter with anyone. There's money in it. The Negro fair, with its numerous attractions, has become an annual feature in men, states so we are not surprised as Mr. Jackson's conclusion. HATS OFF TO IRELAND! (By William Pickens.) Seven centuries of light, and at last the "snakes" are driving from the Ender Island. The spider (of Scotland, and Robert the Bruce, tried "seven times," but Ireland tried SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS. They hung on the gallows, they burned in the fire; the pied and bled and died. They forbidded oud, against the wedded powers of Mammon and Mars. They were bled like cattle and "jailed like felons. They lain in the woods, and they starved in prisons, and the great soul of Me Sweeny tasted more days than did Jehovah. They paid willingly for their freedom and they get it. It is a thing that is worth all it costs. And the "snakes" are driven out by St. Patrick and Saints like Me Sweeny and the rest of Sinn Fein. "Thus the Alman" A man who loves his own people, is the only man that can live other people; and the man who loves PEOPLE, is the only man who can live God. But as a people is its own greatest strength, so it is also its own greatest weakness. The greatest menace to live Ireland today is a group of Irishmen, factitiousists, short-sighted Irishmen. Like other strugling people, the Irish nation has its ulcer-spelled ULLER. But this achievement of blood and years and years ought to add ten years to the life of every Irishman everywhere in the roundworld. We write to Chattanooga, Tenn., and we have just witnessed an Irish woman, pear and unknown, but walking with a military erectness, bragging on Irish blood, with her head in the air and her soul in the clouds, "O, these American people," the remarked to a group of colored folks, "they're talking about sending missionaries to Ireland. They'd better teach themselves not to make the colored people DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES!" She was referring to John Williams, of Jasper County, Georgia whose peons unwitting dog their own graves, and were then knocked in the head and mashed into it. Colored Americans, the fight has begun in Georgia and Mississippi in South Africa and Egypt and India. But take note that Ireland fought in seven centuries, for twenty-eight generations of grown men. They were left from the moment when a majority of them made up their minds to be for or to die. Their lifers were shelters for their tongues choked out; they were hunted and hunted and imprisoned in prison. But they did not shake their confidence in Ireland. It looked like they would be killed and Irish women would be killed. In The Realm of Music By Lucien H.

George Updike of Jacksontown who conducted a taxi service in the city and vicinity, was found Saturday morning after Thanksgiving in an unconscious and dying condition by hunters near Appemates, Va., and was brought to the Lynchburg Hospital Sunday morning. He died Friday, December 2nd, without regaining consciousness. For this reason the identity of the persons making the assault and stealing the automobile after throwing the body out of the car is still a mystery. The prevailing sentiment is that the assault was either made by "moonliners" who infested that part of the country or by some white party with robbery as the motive. The deceased leaves a wife, Mrs. Sadie Updike, and mother, Mrs. Aggie Updike of Jacksontown; a brother, Samuel, of Philadelphia; and a sister, Rosa, of Lynchburg.

Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors Referring to the appointment of Prof. W. S. Scarborough as Assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture, the Norfolk office can bring about much a res. They all possess both the capacity to the courage to make themselves h: and felt. Journal and Guide said: There is plenty of work for Doctor Scarborough to do. He can with profit to Negro farmers inquire at once into the reasons why Negro Demonstration agents receive less pay for the same work than white agents, the Negro agents receiving a maximum wage of $1,600 per annum and the white agents a maximum of $2,500, and why there is such radical inequality in the distribution of the Smith Lever funds, and other extension funds controlled by the Department of Agriculture, the fact being, it is alleged, that only so much of these money are allotted to the Negro work and benefit us to keep them in existence. Dr. Scarborough should look into these matters for us. We now have three assistants to cabinet officers, and we reasonably expect that this will assist the race to receive a fair consideration in the matters affecting them. This reasonable expectation will undoubtedly be realized so as the efforts of the race representatives in Women, Mrs. Grace Randolph, Mrs. Lacey and daughter, Mia. Queenet, furnished music and singing. At the evening service an interesting instructive sermon on "God's Lamb" was delivered. Montague Colling delivered an address on "Unemployment" at the Forum.

They all possess both the capacity and the courage to make themselves heard and felt. An article in the Odd Fellow's Journal emphasizes the fact that this is the age of advertising, and that the best "ad" to sell yourself with is a good appearance. It continues: If you are really able and competent, all you need, and you ought to have, is a chance. You will never get that chance if you wear seedy clothes and neglect your teeth and need a chase. Your only "ad" is the impression employers and others get of you at the start. Make that a good one. Don't be afraid to spend money on it. All good advertising is expensive, yet it is the best in treatment that a business maff can possibly make. On the other hand a poorly done will not carry its possession but unless real merit it behind it. In notting the organization of the Colored Voters Division of the Citizens Franchise Committee, the Des Moines Bystander said: "This we believe, is a step in the right direction. It has ever been the plea of the Negro Press that we be given an equal and fair chance to show our ability. We believe for the first time in the history of politics in Polk county, the Negro has been given an equal and fair chance. It does not appear exactly what part this organization is to play in Iowa politics, but it seems plain that the Negro voters are going in on the ground floor." Commenting on recent discoveries relating to games and inventions practiced by ancient races of the earth, the Los Angeles New Age said: It is all very strange what information such discoveries disclose. It would seem that some people in the world who have been claiming credit for everything ever done had done some harming. So the Chinese started football and it has been learned that black people, Africans, were the first workers in iron. Maybe they knew the secret of steel making and were originators of the so-called new process recently discovered. One need not enter at the suggestion. There is no telling how much of the world's present knowledge was contributed by people now classed among the "backward races". So let discovery continue. The Chinese originated football. That may account for the long hair worn by football players—imitation of a queue. Yes, let discovery go on. With a square dart for everyone, may be discovered some day. And that last would be a consummation devoutly to be desired. In a series of articles entitled "Investing Our Funds," published in the Business World, a new weekly devoted to economics, business, commerce, general news and politics, we find this graphic: While it is true that enthusiasm—by appeals to race consciousness, etc.—must be generated before shares can be sold to certain sections of our peoples, we should not be misled into buying sentiment or entrusting our money to honest but untrained and unteachable individuals. Before buying shares in any corporation demand a statement, preferably their last balance sheet, from them; and find out what business training the directors possess. When a Negro corporation satisfies these demands and is in a line where profits can be made, give it your solid support. There is considerabel pity and to this sensible advice. This absence of the promoters should also be sidered in giving credit to their peculiar. LEXINGTON, VA.

The question of eligibility of certain players to represent member clubs of the Metropolitan Basketball Association, whose names have been discussed for some time, was finally settled at the regular, meeting of the association held at the Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A. on Monday night, December 12. After having their report calling for the granting of cards to Frank Forbes and Monde, which report was rejected at the special meeting a few weeks ago, the registration committee reconsidered the evidence, and brought in a new report which was against the two men being allowed to play with member clubs. The evidence showed that they had intended to play professional baseball last summer and were given tryouts by several professional teams. This report was adopted after considerable discussion. The vote was five for adoption with three against it. The clubs voting in the negative were Spartan Field Club, Borough Athletic Club and St. Mark's Catholic Club. The Columbia Cubs of Manhattan and the Willow A. C. of Flushing, J. L. were admitted to membership, which gives the organization a membership of twelve clubs. Alfred Wilson of Borough Athletic Club was elected treasurer to succeed Doctor Eugene Williams of St. Christopher Club, who no longer represents his club. An amendment to the constitution was passed, which provided for the increase of the membership committee from three members to five. Wood of Spartans and Yates of St. Mark's were added to the committee. Several changes were made in the personnel of the club investigating committee and the games committee. During its first year the Metropolitan Basketball Association has brought together the principal basketball clubs of this district, many of whom were actually hostile toward each other; it has registered more than 130 players, which gives the association some control over their activities; it has established rules and regulations regarding the amateur standing of the players of member clubs, and has shown a disposition to enforce these rules; and is making an effort to have a regular schedule of games for the teams of different weights which are members of the association. We hold that these are worthwhile achievements, and that this organization should receive the support of all those who are interested in basketball as a sport in this community.

ATROOSEVELT THEATRE A rushing, touring sweep of resistible waters, released from bondage—a mighty torrent of timber cushioning, grinding all before it—hits bumping, plummering in the starting waters—swerving all but its relentless path. Smalls one of the log thrills in "Conflict." The most gripping, soul-searing moment ever witnessed. Leaving in its memory, the mighty log pum, the "lowering up of the dam," and the swashing torrent of felled forest is the mightiest spectacle of the carvers' art. In all its splendor, in all its ruthlessness, "Conflict." Prisilla Dean's wonderful new Universal-Jewel, coming to the Rossevelt Theatre, Thursday and Friday, December 15th, both vividly records the actual dynamiting of a huge dame and the breaking loose of hundreds of thousands of the prisoned boys. "Conflict," the sensational Red Book serial by Clarence Buddington Kelland, is a mystery-drama, the rugged mountain country of the Canadian North Woods as its locale. "Conflict" is the story of a fight—the battle of two indomitable wills—the struggle for the mastery of the logging industry. The beauty of the photography and the magnificent scenery of the Canadian North Woods country is unsurpassed. LAFAYETTE THEATRE The Boyds, a colored acrobatic act, and the equal of any similar act being booked, is the headline sauvette attraction at the Lafayette this week. Fred Jeignings in several bamboo solos, and the "Girlle" with "Four Dancing Cyclones" are also big attractions. The feature picture, "Conflict," alone is one of the best attractions the Lafayette has had. The management of the theatre is kingly forward to the coming of the famous musical comedy, "Mutt and Jeff" on Christmas Monday, December 26th. It is said to be the most pretentious, offering made by the present management. "Mutt and Jeff, with all colored comedian, is said to be much better than other companies. It is a riot of mirth and melody with a bevy of beautiful girls who are versed in the art of singing and dancing. Some twenty tumultuous musical numbers have been written or arranged by Joseph Comely, Richard P. Carroll, Francis Menzaghery and Tuskegee A. Hammond, Richard Francis Menzaghery and Tuskegee A.

C., held at the 22nd Regiment Armory on Saturday night, December 10th, was the team of the St. Christopher Club, which lost first place in that race by the narrow margin of one yard. The team was composed of W. S. Parker, the only scratch man in the race, who ran the first half mile for his team; Van Leavey, who uncorked a fast quarter mile; T. H. Wood, who dashed 220 ards; and Clarence Sherman, who covered the final quarter for his team. Although Sherman ran a fine race, he did not let loose his sprint at just the right time. The open 100-yard dash was won in impressive fashion by C. M. Figuerora, a Porto Rizan high school student, former Georgia sprinter from Poly Prep. Figuerora made the distance in 10 2-5 seconds. He nosed out Robert McAllister of the Glencoe Club by a regular Charley Paddock jump at the tape. Other colored runners in this race were: J. Hinds, Siloam A. C.; T. H. Wood, St. Christopher Club; A. Pendleton and C. H. Hill, Alpha Club; and Roy Morse of Salem Crescent Club, who ran from scratch: In the high, private and prep school relay race of one half mile, the DeWitt Clinton team, composed of three colored and one white runner, was an easy winner. The three colored members of the team were Handy, Cool, and Gilmore, who won the race for their team in 1 minute 39 15 seconds. The Stuyvesant High School team had two colored representatives in the persons of Taylor and Brown, who are also members of the St. Christopher Club. From the showing made by the St. Christopher relay team in what they considered a workout. They look to have the best relay team entered for the Athletic Carnival at the 18th Regiment Armory on Friday night, December 10th. They are expected also to win the club trophy. "SHUFFLE ALONG" CO. TO GIVE XMAS DINNERS "Shuffle Along," the all colored musical melange at the 63rd Street Musical Hall, will on Christmas afternoon, December 25th, furnish 1.00 poor children of Harlem with a Christmas dinner. The dinner will be given at the Y.M. G. A., up West 135th street. Toys will be distributed by the company, and the girls of "Shuffle Along" have volunteered to act as waitresses. Entertainment will be given by the entire company. On Sunday evening, December 18th, "Shuffle Along" will play a benefit performance at the 63rd Street Music Hall for the New York "American" Christmas Fund. Edward Sterling Wright Injured. Edward Sterling Wright, well known as a dramatist and lecturer, was seriously injured in an automobile accident in Queens Borough, Long Island. He is at St. John's Hospital, Long Island City, and it is thought one leg will be amputated. Mr. Wright has appeared in several dramatic and Shaksperian performances on the local stage, at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem and at the Republic Theatre, down town. HOWARD-LINCOLN GAME FILMED BY JERSEY CQ Last week a private showing was made of the official pictures of the Howard-Lincoln football game in Philadelphia on Thank-giving Day. They were remarkably clear, especially in view of the dark and rainy day. The film starts off with views of the campus of both institutions; then come views of the crowds as they gathered at the park, with pictures of the players of both teams and the officials, taken before the game started. Every individual is easily recognized on these pictures, and those of the players in action are also very distinct until towards the end of the game when it was almost completely dark. The snake dance between the halves, participated in by the coaches, athletic managers, the principles and a number of teachers in both schools, is an interesting feature of the reproduction. The Frederick Douglass Film Company of Jersey City, N. J., produced the picture under the direction of Dr. W. S. Smith, who exhibited skill in developing the film. It is a one-reel film. Roya' Welfare Team Wins On Friday evening, December 9th, the senior basketball team of the Boys' Welfare Association added to their enviable record another victory when they beat the fleet footed St. Nazar team of Elizabeth, N. J., to the time of 30 to 19. Capt. Joseph Jackson, with Brown, Curtis, Stephens and Berry, formed the invincible Team in the first half which ended with the score 12-10 in favor of the B. W. A. Team. In the second half, Brown, the old reliable, Stevens, who can jump to the stars, and Husbands, the man of mystery, decreed that not one ball should miss the basket, while Capt. Jackson and Ramond Berry guarded the forwards of St. Nazar, Joseph Raunes played splendidly when put into the game for three minutes. Any team desiring to arrange a game with the B. W.

JUST 097 JUST 097 THE CHAPPELLE & STANWYTE COMPANY 23000000 W. 23000000 N. 15TH REGIMENT TO HAVE A RELAY TEAM At a recent meeting of the Military Athletic League it was decided that every athletic meet held in the armories of the city had to have at least one military event on the program. The white regiments of the city have relay teams, but the 15th Regiment has none. So Lieutenant Roy Morse, former holder of the 220-yard title, is making an effort to build up a colored team which would be eligible to participate in the military events at the different athletic meets: The white teams in the different regiments are made up of men from various clubs and who are members of the regiment, and Lieutenant Morse points out that the 15th relay team would be unifiable if a number of athletes from the various clubs were to join the regiment so that they could become members of such a team. Their membership in the regiment would not bar them from participating in meets as representatives of their various clubs, as many white athletes are representatives of clubs as well as some particular regiment. As the 15th is soon to have its own armory, it is hoped that the colored athletes of Harlem will take advantage of this opportunity to give the 15th regiment the strongest relay team in the city and join hands with those interested in working toward this eminence. ST. PAUL CLOSES MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON Lawrenceville, Va.—The Thanksgiving day game closed St. Paul's most brilliant football season in its history, the team standing second in the list of Virginia's "Big Five." The record shows Virginia Union undefeated throughout the season, with one scoreless tie, this school and Hampton being the only victors over St. Paul, and, in turn, St. Paul was the only team to cross Union's goal for a touchdown. Losing to Union, 44 to 7, and to Hampton, 25 to 2, St. Paul has the following victories to its credit: Attacks A, C. 6 to 0; N. C. State Normal, 11 to 0; Virginia Seminary, 7 to 6; Kittrell College, 33 to 0; St. Augustine, 7 to 0; A. & T. College, 20 to 6; a total of 193 points against its opponents. 81. Its score against Hampton was the first time that feat has been accomplished by St. Paul. All of its home games were won, the games lost being played on the victors' gridirons. The Virginia N. & L. I. Petersburg; cancelled its November schedule because of epidemic. The football banquet was held in the Long Island domestic science building on December 6th, when letters were awarded to minster men and the 1922 captain elected. --- Bordentown Ties Princeton "Y" Bordentown, N. J. - The Inside Caddets football team closed its season on December 3rd by playing, the Princeton, Y. M. C. A. football team at Princeton before an appreciative bunch of football fans. The game was fast, furious and hard throughout the four periods. Princeton in her endeavor to score up all her substitutes while the caddets lined up remaining the same through the game. The ball was in Princeton's territory during all of the periods she took, when the "Y" men held it for four downs on the caddets' five yard mark, but were unable to carry it over. The game ended with neither team being able to score. The record of the Bordentown eleven for the season is as follows: Dates Opponent: Bordentown Oct. 15—Lincoln U. 26; 0 Oct. 29—Dunbar A. C. 0; 41 Nov. 10—Princeton J. "0" 0 (2 team) Nov. 19—Manhattan A.

During two years only two substitutes were used and they were taken out because of injury. V. H. Daniels is the coach. Va. Seminary Boats Storer. Lynchburg, Va.—The Seminary Dragons made five touchdowns on the Storer team in the Thanksgiving contest here: Captain Johns, Clark and Caley were not up to their usual form because they had not fully recovered from injuries received in that game, and were compelled to give way early to other players. Clark suffered a dislocated shoulder that will probably lay him up for some time. The first score came as the result of a forward pass, followed by a succession of line lukes and end runs. Watson carried the ball over. Storer's only score was made in the latter part of the last period against the second team. Smith who had contributed several gains for the Storer team, caught a punt and ran 70 yards through the entire team for a touchdown. Orientala Defeat Alpha. New Rochelle, N. Y.-The Oriental Big Five rose from the depths of their recent slump on Saturday night, December 10th, and defeated the Alpha Big Five by the score of 29 to 18. The game was fast from start to finish, and the first half was especially close, the score being 10 to 6 in favor of the Oriental. In the second half the Orients opened up with long shots. Louis Garcia caged three from the center of the floor, and shot others from all angles. T. Mills made two good long shots in the latter part of the game. Garcia was the star for the New Rochelle boys, having scored nineteen points for his team. For Alpha, Monte did the best work. The game was somewhat marred through arguments from some of the players, which destroyed much of the interest from the spectator's point of view. St. Mark's Five Defeats Tuxedo. The St. Mark's Flashes continued their winning streak by defeating the Tuxedo A. C. Five of Orange, N. J., late in a large crowd at St. Mark's Hall on Saturday night, December 10. The New Jersey boys played a close game during the first half, but were outcultured in the last half. The final score was 34 to 21. Chris Huiswoud referred the game. Slow Fighting and Technical Knockouts Feature 15th Bouts Slow Fighting and Technical Knockouts Feature 15th Bouts (By William E. Clark.) Dan Stewart of the 15th Regiment won a decision over Joe Gordon of the Naval Militia in the principal contest at the weekly boxing show of the 15th Regiment on Friday night, December 9th. The bout, was one of the best lightweight contests ever staged at the 15th armory, and although Stewart outpointed his opponent in almost every round, he was so weakened from blows of the white fighter to his stomach that he did not have strength to knock him out. Both fighters were loudly applauded at the end of the fight. The final bout between Ralph Horton and Danny Fields of the Naval Militia ended in the fifth round, when Horton quit. Fields was declared the winner by a technical knockout. It seems that Horton got a "swell head" after his bout with Roy Taylor several weeks ago, and stopped trailing for his fights. It is probable, however, that he learned a leap from his bout Friday night, and will be better prepared for his next bout. Both fighters weighed in at 145 pounds. In the first preliminary contest Kid Bennett and T, McFarland, both of the 15th, fought a slow four rounds to a draw. In the second bout Ike Booker of the 15th scored a technical knockout over Joe Pentano of the 12th regiment when the white fighter quit in the second round. And in the last preliminary, "Baby" Smith of the 15th was awarded the judges' decision over Kid Bloom of the 27th regiment.
