NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL OPENS HANDSOME NEW HOME OFFICE BUILDING FIRST IN LIVE NEWS ALL THE TIME VOL. XXI. NO. 52 The Honorable Benjamin J. Davin in Attauna Delivers Dedicatory Address at Opening of New Structure in Durham. CO-OPERATION AND RACE-PRIDE URGED Durham, N. C—On Saturday, December 17, 1921 a. m., the new home office of the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., was dedicated and opened to the public. The Honorable Benj. J. Davis of Atlanta Georgia delivered the dedicatory address. Music was rendered by the fifty-ax clerks' employed in the home office. There were at least ten town visitors to inspect the building and a thousand colored and white persons from Durham: The dedication was delivered by the Hon. Benj. Davis of Atlanta, Ga. He in part said: "Fellow Citizens, I am invited to Durham to deliver the dedicatory address of the Home Office of the North Carolina Insurance Company. This building is a monument to the genius and economic foresight of Mosser Merrick, Spaulding, Moore and Avery, but a living and commercial presence in economic, industrial and commercial practice. Their effects such as these shall we build a race that will fit no substantially and essentially into the economic, industrial and political life of our country. We can not be eliminated without ours, we can not be compiling our social and political fabric. "In order to do this we must stress race co-operation and race patronage. Let us point out to every class of our people the necessity of race union, show them that the white man does not Negro newspapers, trade in Negro newspapers, trade in Negro doctors, employ Negro lawyers, carry life and fire insurance in Negro companies. The insurance is not so much breadth in business as it is not so much breadth in his hatred for the black man as because he love for the white man and desire for white supremacy, not only in politics but also in industry, commerce and every phase of our national solidarity. Do not hate him and charge him with prejudice but let us practice his conceived action, his co-operation and race pride. We want to cease following him and agitators among us and follow with enthusiasm the captains of industry, the builders of insurance companies, the organizers of banks, the promoters of various institutions which give employment and character to the race, employees of our children. Money makes the man rich. Money accumulate as much money and wealth as we pretend to have religion and education. Grace is not all. It is first and to be preferred. But it greenback are two of the absolute most important in the development of a race in our country. "We want less political agitators and more industrial and economic captains. We want more Merricks, Spauldings, Avorys and Moores. We Mechanics and Farmer, Carolina Mutuals, Mechanics and Farmer, land owners, and producers of wealth, us support these enterprises by putting our money in Negro banks, trading with Negro stores, patronizing Negro insurance companies, employing Negro men, reading Negro publications, and reading with the white man that we can do with the blue man, except to work for him, buy his land and sell produce, following his example; for example, with us that he can with himself." The N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company was founded in 1888 by the late John Merrick. From an assessment of $1,000 worth of insurance in 1888, it has grown to be the largest colored insurance company in the world, with over $30,000,000 worth of insurance and $30,000,000 worth of establishment the company has paid in insurance over $3,000,000 in claims. Indeed so tremendous has the business become that a large and modern home had to be erected. The new house of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company was erected at the cost of $250,000. It is a strictly modern fire proof building, six stories high towering 8 feet in height occupying an angular lot with an area of 3316 square feet, and with basement 10 foot deep. The frame work is wholly of steel reinforced with truss bars, oncased in concrete. The walls are of hard burned brick, with the exception of street front which is faced on the first floors with Indiana stone and the upper floors with buff galvanized iron bond ties. The covering of the walls is term cotta, which substance also lines throughout all flues. To insure a water proof condition of the walls around the basement and areas, both outside and inside have a 4% plaster coating of Truss con-water proofing. Every partition is of "Nateo" terra cotta partition blocks, which are started on the structural floor and wedged against the floor above. The floors in the vestibules, bank corridor, stair halls and lavatories were laid of alumidium Terranzo, a mosaic tiling. The chips used in this work are of various permanent colors, harmoniously shaded and laid on concrete floor slabs. The outer floors, also of concrete foundation, are covered with insulite, mineral rubber. The wainscoting in the bank, toilet enclosures and threshold, throughout the structure, is of Tennessee gray marble, with polished surface rubbed with care so as to produce a lasting effect. Moreover, metallic doors art to be found at all exits. Besides every exposed window frame is of metallic construction, into which have been set on the main floor, polished plate glass beveled 1½ inches thick, on the upper front floors crystal sheet glass an din all other frames polished plate glass ¼ inch thick. The stairway connecting the floors is of metal. In fact a single piece of steel was bolted together so as to form the treads and risers while every soffit on the steps is covered with metal lathes. For the convenience of those who do not care to climb six flights of steps an elevator, of steel construction, has been installed. On the street in front of this building for its special protection has been built a high powered hydrant which, by means of hose carriage built of non-combustible material, carries water throughout the building. Indeed it is apparent from even this limited description of the structure of the new home office that its foundations are solidly laid against fire and destruction; for should a fire occur on any floor it could be immediately confined to the place of its origin by shutting the metallic doors to all exits, and the metallic framed windows containing glass encased in noncombustible wire. And before the flames could damage the walls and floors of concrete and steel it is reasonably certain that the fire could be extinguished. At least the Underwriters Association, after years of experience in rating, expressed this opinion when examining our building and authorised the fire insurance company to charge us eighteen and ninety-five hundredths cents for every one hundred dollars worth of insurance taken on the building. We let, therefore, the fire insurance rate speak as to the quality of the structural Insurance Company's new home office. The basement of the building is the store room for the N. C. Mutual. To make it suitable for this purpose the walls have been lined with steel shelves where policy and application forms as well as other literature are kept. Moreover, there has been built into the wall a steel and concrete vault for the safe keeping of records. The heating plant for the building is also placed in the basement. It is a hot water furnace, carrying heat to every part of the building. The third, fourth and fifth floors which are occupied by the Home Office of the N. C. Mutual are modestly but well equipped for the work which is carried on within this part of building. All of the offices on each floor are connected by means of the selectograph system, which makes it possible for the occupants of every office to call each other by telephone. Lieut. Reed Gets Flattering Invitation To Speak in Smithfield Lieut. Daniel L. Reed, well known, preacher, lecturer and race leader has received a flattering invitation to speak in Smithfield, N. C., at the First Baptist church of which the Rev. Dr. M. L. Dawson is the pastor. Lieut. Reed is unquestionably sound on the race question and his speeches are chug full of wholesome advice to the Negro. His addresses are so practical, forceful and instructive that one cannot hear him without being inspired. GOV. MORRISON TO HEAR ROUSE CASE JAN. Raleigh, N. C.—Monday, January 2, is the date set by Governor Morrison for the hearing of the petition for commutation of the sentence of Wright Rouse, colored, who was hired to kill William Whistle. Rouse is said to be half-witted. Mrs. Whistle and a man named Hayes who hired the Negro to do the killing were found not guilty of murder in the first degree, but were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Rouse, however, was found guilty of murder in the first degree, and is now sentenced to electrosecution on January 3. The people of Greene County and other sections of the East have freely signed the petition for Rouse's commutation, and the appeal has been formally made to the Governor.

Ex-Gov. Bickett Succumbs To Stroke of Paralysis Raleigh, N. C.—Former Governor T. W. Bickett suffered a stroke of paralysis at his home Tuesday from which he never recovered. Mr. Bickett had been unconscious since the stroke and only the strongest restoratives caused a rally. The former governor was apparently in the best of health earlier during the evening and prepared supper for his wife who was ill in her room. He had finished his own supper and was sitting in the room talking to his wife when he complained of a bad headache. He went in his room to tie down and rest and in a few minutes he creamed that his head was almost killed him. He rushed into his wife's room and fell across the bed and lapsed into unconsciousness. Physicians were hastily summoned. They found that the entire right side was paralyzed and that there was little hope for his recovery. Mr. Bickett died at 9:15 Wednesday morning. Ex-Governor Bickett will be greatly missed by the colored people, to whom he was always friendly. The Slave Poet of North Carolina Theme of Interesting Address. Name of Mrs. Jane Robinson On Pension Roll. Raleigh, N. C.,—by invitation of Dr. J. L. Peacock, President, Prof. Chas, N. Hunter addressed the faculty and student body of Shaw University Monday morning Dec 19th, his subject being George M. Horton, the Slave Poet of North Carolina. The address consisted of a most admirable sketch of the life and untiring writings of this remarkable Negro. To the young man and women present the subject was entirely new. They had neither heard nor read of him. The interest evinced and the spontaneous and hearty, applause which greeted the conclusion, re-enforced by the fine expressions of commendation and compliment publicly given by the North Carolina University, gaveample guidance of the volume of Prof. Hunter's contribution to the efforts to awaken interest among Negroes in Negro history and great Negro characters. Dr. Peacock argued Prof. Hunter to California his series of sketches for the special benefit of the students of Shaw. Mr. Hunter will make use of this opportunity for presenting some notable Negro characters born and raised in North Carolina during the days of slavery, and others since. This will help in making Negro history and in the formation of Negro literature. MRS. ROBINSON'S NAME ON PENSION BILL The special session of the General Assembly of North Carolina which adjourned Tuesday Dec. 20, placed the name of Mrs. Robinson, colored, on the Confederate pension roll of the state, the act being made effective on January 1st 1921 This was done in recognition of her service and that of her husband to Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, after receiving the fact of her husband, John Robinson, having served as a lieutenant and body servant to Lieut. Jno. Nicholas Robinson, North Carolina Artillery and accompanying this command to the battle fields of Virginia where he was killed in Virginia Gap; and the fact of his widow, Jno. Nicholas having spent the years of the Civil War and ironing for the sick and wounded Confederate soldiers and as nurse in Pettigrew Hospital at Raleigh, and cause many reputable persons in Wakefield who knew of such meritorious service believe said Jane Robinson should be placed in session roll; this action of the General assembly was taken the vote being unanimous. Here is another evidence of the fine spirit among the better men and women since once in North Carolina. Little, prhaps, in itself, but how happily significant! To Mr. H. M. London, Legislation Reference Librarian and to Mr. J. M. Templeton, Jr., Representatives from Wakefield credit is due for this generous act. Rev. D. Ormonee Walker, the new pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church here has entered upon his work with earnestness and intelligent zeal and has been accorded a very warm reception by our people of all denominations. No OBSERVANCE OF EMANCIPATION DAY At this writing it seems that there will be no observance of Emacipation Day in Raligh. That Negroes in the capitol city of North Carolina should allow the day to pass without sitting recognition is, indeed, a stinging one. Negroes of Raligh. In other years the stinging of Emacipation Day was looked to as the one great event of the year. The audiences that gathered in old Metropolitan Hall were just grand, Orators at home and abroad, prized others, an invitation to appear in Raligh. Emacipation Day. The music was of the highest order. The spirit is in full measure. Enthusiasm van high. That is all gone now. Will not the Negroes of Raligh work up and step in line with advancing civilization? They should do so. CONFERENCE TRAINS FOR LEADERSHIP Successful Three-Week Session Is Held at Hampton Institute Where Eighteen Girls Are Being Trained For Leadership. Hampton, Va.—"Our aim is to train for colored leadership in the Young Women's Christian Association work group," she declared Miss Mary E. Scott at the close of the three-week training conference for colored W. W. C. A. secretaries, which was recently held at Hampton, under the direction of coiff secretaries including besides Miss Scott, Miss Eva D. Bowley, Miss Adela S. Ruffin, Miss Clayda J. Williams, and Mias Almhra F. Himes. Miss Scott added: 120 Colored Secretaries at Work "We have now an employed staff of 192 institutions—local, headquarters, and field, at least 75 per cent of whom have been trained as secretaries. The eighteen girls, twelve of whom are local, have taken the course at Hampton and who represent 13 States, have been selected because they seem to have special aptitudes for conference. We have this training conference there are more local W. W. C. A. units in the Southeastern and South Central States than elsewhere. Hampton Institute was suggested on behalf of its social and religious activities. "All the girls who have attended the training conference have had some experience. They, as work secretaries, will later have charge of Girl Reserve units. The work of our Association is both social and religious, indeed. Indeed, from a Christian point of view and, therefore, our training partakes of the nature of sociology and religion. Technical Knowledge and Inspiration Given "In this conference the greatest emphasis has been put upon Bible study and religious education. A great number of our students have technical work of the Y. W. C. A., which has been in charge of Miss Bowles. We have emphasized the financial aid idea of the teen work, and committee management. We have also emphasized the relation of health to life and work. The conference has aimed to give students the opportunity to secretaries so that they will be able to triumph over the many disappointments which they meet in their work. For the first time, we have a colored girl in our National Training School. The reason we have not had any colored girl up to this time is that the qualifications for that position are not high, and must be college graduates and we prefer that they shall have had experience in local work before coming. It is the wish of the Colored Work The personnel of the training conference follows: Miss G. M. Cooper, Charleston, S. C., Miss C. M. Vivian Carroll, Charleston, M. C., Miss Stevenson, LeRoy, N. Y., Miss Clementine Reeves, East St. Louis, III., Miss Georgia Wnres, Williamsport, Pa, Miss Doris Wootin, Fort Worth, Tex., Miss Helen Hudson, Chattanooga, M. C., Miss Stevenson, Columbin, S.

As an indication of the valuable service which Mr. Brascher has rendered, he was a pioneer in propagation of the true spirit of the conference, the editor-in-chief was the recipient of the marked token of esteem from President Harding during his tenure, and he entrusted him with a large photograph of himself, upon which were inscribed the significant words, "Four frater-ter-ter," "Fourth Estate to the Nero Press."

HE peasantry of Europe have had certain Christmas superstitions handed down from past ages, just the same. HE peasantry of Europe have had certain Christmas superstitions handed down to them from past ages. Just how far these simple folk can be fooled is to be wondered. If the light is let go on Christmas morning, you will still celebrate if you are born at sermon time Christmas eve, some one in the house will die within the year. If you steal hay the night before Christmas, and give the cattle some, they will thrive and you will not be caught in any future thefts. If you eat a raw egg, fusting on Christmas morning, you can carry heavy things. It is unlucky to carry anything from the Christmas morning until something has been brought in. It is unlucky to give a neighbor a live coal to kindle a fire with on Christmas morning. If the fire burns brightly on Christmas morning, it betokens prosperity during the year; if it smolders, adversity. If a dog howls the night before Christmas, it will go mad within the year. If you steal anything at Christmas without being caught, you can steal safely for a year. On Christmas eve thrasher the garden with a fall, with only your shirt on, and the grass will grow well next year. The wet strawbands around the orchid trees on Christmas eve and it will make them fruitful. On Christmas eve put a stone on every tree, and they will bear the more. Beat the trees on Christmas night, and they will bear the more. If after a Christmas dinner you shake out the tablecloth over the bare ground under the open sky, crumbwort will grow on the spot. If on Christmas day or eve, you hang a washcloth out on the hedge, and then groom the horses with it, they will grow fat. As often as the cock crows on Christmas eve, the quarter of corn will be as dear. If you burn elder on Christmas eve, you will have revealed to you all the witches and sorcerers of the neighborhood. SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY Best Way to Celebrate Christmas Is To Do Something in Memory of Childhood Days. IT SEEMS that when one has grown a little old, the best and the happiest way to celebrate Christmas is to do something for remembrance—remembrance of one's own childhood, for Christmas is really for the children, after all. It is for children more than for others because it is a day that commemorates the birth of a child—that wondrous Christ child that was born in a manger of a stable in the little town of them 2,000 years ago. Now, when the world will not await the dawn of Christmas morning with a wondering soul, it is the dawn of that day when the morning stars sang together, and when peace on earth and good will toward men were proclaimed from the high heavens. But, the many a child to whom Christmas brings its denty longed-for happiness. The children of the rich will not be disappointed, nor will the children of the very poor be disappointed. It is the child who has not rich or well-to-do folks, but who, at the same time, is not subject for charity, who will be unhappy when Christmas comes. And it is this child that you should see and make happy—for reminders. You see, it is a fact that we can make a happy Christmas for ourselves only by making some one else happy. Do not think that you can make a happy Christmas for yourself any other way, because yes cannot do so. Try the way here pointed out. The child is easily found, and when you have found that one and have made it happy, the very angels of God will envy you the gladness that you will feel. Toys Made in Sweden Toys are manufactured to a considerable extent in Sweden and are almost entirely the fiber kinds of painted wooden toys. Their making was formerly a house industry, but later in the 19th century the output comes from a few factories. Devil's Food Cake. Beat to a creamy 1/2 level tablespoonfuls of butter and one cupful and a quarter of sugar. Add 3/4 squares of unmelted chocolate, three unbeaten eggs and one teaspoonful of vanilla and beat together until smooth.

Votunteers of America To Give Christmas Dinner Preparations for a merry and busy Christmas are under way at the Colored Post No. 3, located at 707 Wide Street, Captain Rev. Matthew Hamilton in charge. The children will have a big spread and drums will be distributed to all children who call at the rooms at noon on Saturday, Dec. 24th. A dinner will be served on Christmas day to the poor among the colored people. The Tidewater Times has the following to say of the Volunteers of America: "The Volunteers of America are helping the needy in a commendable manner. They appear to live up to the idea that it is necessary to the well-being and salvation of man or woman to feed and clothe them (where for reasons they cannot do it themselves) as it is to preach to them the Gospel. The Volunteers are asking assistance in raising money sufficient to give a Christmas Dinner to the city 1 who would otherwise go without. A commendable feature to the work of the Volunteers in this city is all contributions given them are rightly used for what it is intended—work of charity. The Volunteers have many volunteer helpers, but no retinue of salaried lounge lizards or expensive methods that take, up the greater part of the contributions given them." "Approaching a Santa Claus as his vigorously rang his bell in front of a Volunteers of America brick chimney on Granby street, a demure libte miss bashfully said: "Please, Mr. Santa, bring me a Christmas present." Upon being asked what she would like, she replied: "I want a long tail for my dog Trixie. Her tail is so short it won't wag." WHEN HEARTS ARE TRUMPS Tragedy if Child Should Have Child, mas come and Go Without them. F YOU have no child of your own, you must borrow or beg one for Christmas when the world lights its lights. IF YOU have no child of your own, you must borrow or beg one for Christmas eve; for it is the time when the world lights its happiness with a child's joy, writes Dr. James I. Vance, in the Illinois State Journal. Only a child may have the right of way on Christmas eve. If you do not stand in with the children, you must stand aside. It is the hour when the world makes a crudle its shine; when not only widen from the East, but growups from all points of the compass slip down over the hills of memory toward childhood's dawn, saying under their breath: "We have seen his star in the East and are come to worship him." What a wonderful thing is this poem of the old world for the happiness of children that climaxes at Christmas! That better shows of human nature comes to the front of our cynicism. Meanness is shamed into generosity, and for a little while on Christmas eve the tightends of earth have a look in on paradise. Was there over a sweeter eagerness, a holier joy, a more heavenly anticipation, than that which all through the house is felt on Christmas eve? Every one is thinking of it. Every one is happy. The delicate secretiveness it has the thrill. Care is forgotten. Expectation is ringing the bells. Peace is over all the world. And the hero is a child. Thank God for children! "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." It is a sin to disappoint a child. Then it must please God when we make the children a child. If there is no child in your home, maybe there is one on your doorstep, waiting for you to be its saint on Christmas eve. There are certainly some there in the street. They are looking at the toys in the window with wistful faces, and wondering what the lover of children will bring them. It is your time to play, and you are troubled. What a tragedy if a single child in your town should have Christmas come and go without an ecstasy! CLOTHES THAT LAST are the Most Economical Clothes to Buy.

He said that it soon becomes a fascination for home and the individual; it benefits it helps make character; it gives a great it builds respectability; it elevates it makes for power and progress. No lesson but when the resources of the world are more important to learn than the less money itself, but saving the various from day to day. It is often impossible to save steadily and all the time a bad luck—loss of work, illness—which possible.

SAVING HABIT BECOMES A FASCINATION That the habit of saving money is one of the most, if not the most, important of all human habits is the bold assertion of the editor of the Burlington (N. J.) Enterprise. He says that it is easy to start and that it soon becomes a fascination to the saver; it protects the home and the individual; it benefits the community and business; it helps make character; it gives a growing centiment to life; it builds respectability; it elevates and solidifies families; it makes for power and progress. No lesson, particularly at the moment when the resources of the world are largely impoverished, is more important to learn than the lesson of saving; saving not only money itself, but saving the various commodities which we use from day to day. It is often impossible for individuals or families to save steadily and all the time. Frequently people run into bad luck—loss of work, illness—which makes money saving impossible. But every normal man and woman does have the chance with reasonable regularity to lay by money for the future, and he who doesn't do it is foolish. He will pay for the neglect in bitterness of spirit a hundred times before he dies. Saving of money by workers has proved the salvation of thousands of families whose breadwinners have been thrown out of work because of the curtailment of productions and the worldwide depression that has prevented millions of willing hands from performing the duties which are imposed upon heads of families. Those who are employed to-day should take this lesson to heart and put aside a certain part of their income in a Savings Bank account. Housewives should remember that the personal budget is an enemy of waste and extravagance. It teaches one to live within his means and drives away life's most hopeless bugaboo, debt. If every home were operated according to a budget we would have less waste, less worry, and less real suffering and distress. In school days the budget may not mean much to the student, but the thrift habit formed will bring many blessings for the future. Read what these successful Americans say on the subject of thrift: Theodore Roosevelt: "Extravagance rots character; train youth away from it. On the other hand the habit of saving money, while it stiffens the will, also brightens the energies. If you would be sure that you are beginning right, begin to save." Thomas Edison: "The time is coming when every man who lays claim to business ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly." David Starr Jordan: "Thrift is a determination to live with a margin for future advancement; to earn a little more than one spends or to spend a little less than one earns, getting meanwhile the value in strength, in satisfaction or in other worthy returns for the money one feels free to spend." Sir Thomas Lipton: "I have often been asked to define the true secret of success. It is thrift in all its phases, and principally thrift so applied to saving. Saving is the first great principal of all successes. It creates independence, it gives a young man standing, it fills him with vigor, it stimulates him with the proper energy, in fact it brings to him the better part of any success—happiness and contentment." "THE NEGRO FACES AMERICA" By Herbert J. Seligmann, Published by Harper and Brothers, New York City. Price $175, Postage ten cents extra. Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann in his book "The Negro Faces America," has gathered to gether much of the latest material relating to the Negro in the United States. The book is a repository of facts. Those wishing to better understand recent race riots, the Negro in politics and in industry, should get Mr. Seligmann's book. Especially are the Elaine cases in Arkansas treated in careful detail. Those sammari with these cases knew they arose out of a condition of peonage and we note with interest the definition of peonage quoted by Mr. Seligmann as given by Justice Brewer. "Wherever we have compulsory service for dbt, we have peonage, it matters not by what method the result is obtained." Under this definition we have thousands of cases of peonage among the Negroes who are doing compulsory service. The fate of the Elaine man condemned to death is thus of supreme importance to the Negroes of the United States, as their sacrificial would b a death blow to peonage. Beside the important facts in the book there is a great deal of delightful discussion of the Negro question. Lechtham Stoddard's, "The Rising Tide of Color," (which we shall review later), has starred many people thinking along lines of color ascendency. Salgmann towers upon the anthropological side of the Negro question, knowing how the United States taken up the idea promulgated that Germans of Anglo. Saxon summary and gone them one better.

Saving is the first great prin-dependence, it gives a young vigor, it stimulates him with thehim the better part of any suc-t." he made famous a very obscure poet by condemning him. In the same way, Mr. Seligmann brings again to light an obscure southern book, which declares that "flood and fire, fever and famine, and the sword—even ignorance, indolence and carpet baggery, the South may endure and conquer, while her blood remains pure; but once taint the well-spring of her life and all is lost—even honor itself." It is in his criticism of what he calls the South's color psychosis, that Mr. Seligmann surpasses himself. We cannot remember ever before reading such clever satirical comment on the South's illogical treatment of the Negro question. "The Southern white man puts certain questions beyond the bounds of discussion. If they are pressed he will fight rather than argue. What to many educated and cultured persons of the North seems arguable and debatable, subject to critical examination and referable to scientific observation, to the southern white man is as sacred as religious dogma and is defended as passionately. It is against this dogmatism that Mr. Seligmana writes. His book ends with a demand for exact information on the Negro question in the United States. It might well be used today as a pamphlet to urge upon Congress the appointment of the Race Commission recommended by the President in his first message to Congress. A commission which under which the Negroes live in the United States. BRIEFS AND SPICES By S. J. C.— Many a promising New Year has been marred by failure to turn over a new loaf. A happy New Year thrives best in old company. It's never too late to spend what it took a life time to save. Many a modern man is as good as his word but, no better. To make some week-end guests feel at home it is necessary for the hostess to argue with her husband. Hays to send him home by Parcel Post," Headline, we've seen men sent by P. P, but not human beings; John Barleycorn tried it once but was killed in transit. "You are older than you feel," Probably not, but it's hard to convince those who have grey hairs that youth isn't waiting at the corner drug store. Thirst for publicity has driven some coal dealers to the credit basis, but still they stick a lot of people on the slate. It is reported that an alchemist has made gold out of lead—that's nothing—Plumbers have been doing it for ages. It's easy to swear off of the smokes when you have Christmas cigars in the box. Others may contribute ideas, but the man who is successful at making home brew claims his recipe is original. "So you graduated from a chiropractic college? What is your college yell!" "Rub him up, Rab him down, leave his body, Raw, Raw, Raw! Press Opinions NEGRO CIVILIZATION Shelly's "Ozymandias," the poem upon the shattired stature of a king sung in desert wastes, with an inscription bidding the beholder look upon his works and despair, would have little satire for an archaeologist. He would set his excavators to work and in a few years we would have a full history of the great conquests of Ozymandias, and pictures of his achievements as a builder. In histories of the world Ethiopia has hitherto been recorded a few sentences as furnishing an episode in the record of Egypt. But the Harvard University-Boston Museum expedition to Egypt has just issued a resume of its fifteen years of work in the Sudan, which shows how much has been done since 1906 to evoke from darkness the story of the first great Negro kingdom. It has long been known that at the faint dawn of history a negro race had settled both the upper and lower valleys of the Nile, and that a differentiation arose, because the upper region, or Ethiopia, was poor economically, and absorbed wilder Negro elements from Central Africa, while the rich lower valley fronted Asia and Europe. It has long been known that the contacts, hostile and otherwise, between Egypt and Ethiopia were close. A newer Ethiopia in time arose, not in Nubia, but nearer Egypt; and at its ancient capital, Napata on the Nile, the Harvard-Boston researchers have been mad. The archocologists have established the orign of the royal family and have thrown light upon the successive monarchs for more than four centuries. It was about 750 B. C. that they conquered Egypt and hold sway for a hundred years, sending their ambassadors to Assyria and other Asiatic courts. The Bible names one of these Ethiopian rulers of Egypt and the American scientists identified the other four. The view that the Negro's place in history and civilization dates from about the time a Dutch ship brought the first slaves to Virginia is not confined to our South, but it is an utterly fantastic view. Not merely did the Negro build up powerful kingdoms in the Nile valley. He traded with Solomon when Jerusalem was at its greatest importance, and sent gold, ivory, jewels and cloth to the first Greek and Somitic colonies in North America. When the advance of Mohammedian began Negro converts to Islam helped to conquer Northern Africa and Spain. Kingdoms almost worthy of camparision with Ethiopia arose and sank in various other parts of Africa. Archaeology is expected to supply much more information upon the history and culture of the Negro in earliest times, and will do its part to give the Negro a larger background and greater dignity—N.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Endosed At First Day's Meeting. J. W. Johnson Says Measure Sure to Pass. Washington, D. C. - Endorsement of the Dyer Anti-Lynching law was the outstanding feature of the first day's session of the Coloret World Democracy Congress in the John Wesley Zion A. M. E. church. At the public meeting it was announced that the Rev. T. J. Moppins of Representative Dyer's district in St. Louis, had been appointed to work with the author of the anti-lynching bill. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. who has been in Washington furthering the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, reports as follows: "Rest assured the bill is in no danger. The leaders (in the house of Representatives) are almost as much interested in seeing it pass as we are. It is only the question of the propitious time for bringing it to a vote." Mr. Johnson explains that many Republicans are absent from Washington during the holiday season and the leaders do not want to bring the bill to a vote until passage is absolutely assured. Mr. Johnson's report continues: "I am in daily conference with the men who are leading the fight; Madden, Barton, Mondell, Goodykoontz, Longworth and Ansorge, and I feel convinced they intend to put it over. Dyer does not want to take any chances. He wants to play absolutely safe, and so there is a probability that the Special Rule will be adopted Monday or Tuesday (Dec. 19th or 20th) the debate opened, and the vote laid over until after the holiday recess, when the full Republican force will be here." Mr. Johnson warns that efforts in behalf of the bill must not be slackened and says: "In the meantime we must not slacken up on our pressure.

Death came peacefully, the vulnerable editor. retaining consciousness almost to the end, and conversing during the last half hour with his wife, son and daughter. The immediate cause of his death, his physician said, was heart failure superinduced by congestion of the lungs. Thus "Marse Henry" passed to that "beautiful shore" where last October he wrote his comrades of the confederate army he was sure "the bonny blue flag will be flying at the fore, and the bands will be playing 'Dixie on parade and the pretty girls will be distributing 'The Chattanooga Rebel' (the newspaper published by him during the war between the states) to groups of ragged red nosed angels who have not forgotten the rebel yell." Mr. Watterson was 81 years old, having been born in Washington, D.C., February 16, 1840. The first appearance of the Courier-Journal which he organized by a combination of three papers was November 9, 1888.

The Texas Chamber's petition against the Ku Klux Klan resites that "deeds of violence (upon both men and women) by masked men in the garb of the Ku Klux Klan, are now of almost daily occurrence; they are forcing their victims, under threats of severe penalty, to leave their communities, homes, families and property, and become outcasts from society and" that "this intolerable situation has reached a point where neither life, liberty, nor property is safe." Congressman Clark retorted that "my own knowledge of the order," derived from the Congressional hearings, "stamps as made utterly false every allegation made against it by your resolutions." Congressman Clark's letter also referred to "loafing worthless Negroes—almost every night committing the most horrible of crimes right here in the capitol of the Nation—" To which the Texas Chamber of Commerce replied: Considering all of the criticisms and statements made in your letter as indicative of your true sentiments in regard to the action of our members in seeking proper law enforcement, it would seem to us that you are not of sympathy with the high position you now occupy----- In fact such spirit and sentiments, as expressed by you, seem to us to make your position as a member of Congress, untenable and at cross purpose with our American ideals and institutions; a condition which in our opinion your colleagues should take cognizance of." Federal Authorities Investigate Killings Athens, Ga.—Federal investigations into the killings that were staged in Oceane county Sunday, December 4, have been started and thus the joint efforts of the county officials and the federal authorities; it is believed that the persons guilty of the law violations will be brought to justice. Since the investigation was begun, Judge Walter C. Cornett, United States deputy in Athens, has received several anonymous communications warning him to discontinue the federal investigation. These letters have been traced, according to Judge Cornett, and the persons responsible will be brought to trial. The Oceane officials who are working toward the capture of the gang which is said to be responsible for the disorder and killings in that county, and incidentally who are charged with selling illicit liquor, have been in communication with Judge Blanton Bartson of the superior court, who will aid in the government investigation by calling a special grand jury at the proper time.

How to Be Healthy The Crusade of the Double-Barred Cross Practical Talks on Disease Prevention Prepared by the VIRGINIA, TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION (Practically every adult病人 is infected with tuberculosis. This infection need not be a source of danger. To keep this infection from spreading, badly treated once must be kept at its best. This series of articles shown you how to keep healthy.) WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS? DR. LAWRASON BROWN TUBERCULOSIS is a disease caused Koch in 1882, which early in its tubercles. It is widely distributed throug more severely when he abandons a normal centers of civilization. The germ and the cattle germ. The cattle causes annually the death of about 10,000 States. It is converged by milk, and is milk. The chief source of the human tuber by the consumptive and deposited only the germ gains entrance into the body. It is in the form of dust and by the trans- particles of sputum in the dirt of the and other playthings, to the mouth. The younger the child, the more r rather he mounts the objects he sells to puberty two-thirds to three-quarterst of al- bodies but only a small percentage of u- nits that he mounts and without doubt many contract it ever, to conclude as some would have a sumption, for a rather large percentage to an infection in later life. These facts serve to emphasize the and the avoidance of overstrain of any a White that lives in the open he seldom when he encounters a person who play and live much out of doors have thirteen or fourteen years old. It then the burden of work, and the overindulgence on the body, until it is most frequent a year. It is then that people are most overplay. Return to the outdoor life, to the self-inflicture in any way, may quietly health. If he once develops the disease pattence and self-dental. Rest of body what is safe and what is dangerous, good that restore health. Intelligent medical worry, confidence in recovery, conscient given by the physician, work miracles, fallen ill of tuberculosis, but who have TUBERCULOSIS is a disease caused by a germ, discovered by Robert Koch in 1882, which early in its course produces little modules, called tubercles. It is widely distributed throughout the world, and attacks man more severely when he abandons a nomadic or outdoor life and lives in large centers of civilization. There are two varieties of the tubercle germ that attack men, the human germ and the cattle germ. The cattle germ, while rarely affecting adults, causes annually the death of about 10,000 children and infants in the United States. It is conveyed by milk, and is killed by boiling or pasteurizing the milk. The chief source of the human tubercle germ is the sputum-coughed up by the consumptive and deposited only too often on sidewalks and floors. The germ gains entrance into the body by inhalation of the fine droplets of sputum coughed out by the consumptive, by the inhalation of dried sputum in the form of dust and by the transference through dirty fingers of the particles of sputum in the dirt of the streets and houses, from halls, tops and other playhouses, to the mouth. The younger the child, the more readily he is infected and the more often he mouths the objects he soils in the dirt in play. By the age of puberty two-thirds to three-quarters of all children have and the germ in their bodies has a small percentage of these develop the disease. It is estimated that 2,000,000 children in the United States have tuberculosis today, and without doubt many contracted it. First and most often, it is not safe, however, to conclude as some would have us do, that adults cannot catch consumption, for a rather large percentage may owe the disease in their lungs to an infection in later life. These facts serve to emphasize the importance of good hygienic living, and the overstrain of overstrain of any sort, whether work, pleasure or play. When man lives in the open he seldom develops pulmonary tuberculosis, but when he changes this for indoor life he may succumb. The boy and girl who play and live much out of doors have little tuberculosis until they become thirteen or fourteen years old. It then increases as the anxieties of school, the burden of work, and the overindulgence in pleasure make more demands on the body, until it is most frequent between the twentieth and thirtieth year. It is then that people are most confined, and most often overwork or overworked. A return to the outdoor life, to the simple pleasures, the avoidance of self-indulgence in any way, may quickly become a threatened individual to health. If he once develops the disease it can be curbed, but it requires time, patience and self-dental. Rest of body and mind are regarded to what is safe and what is dangerous, good food and fresh air are the medicines that restore health. Intelligent medical supervision, freedom from care and worry, confidence in recovery, confidence in carrying out every detail given by the physician, work miracles, as thousands can testify that have fallen ill of tuberculosis, but who have fought the good fight and won out. EUGENE V. DEBS ARRIVES HOME Terry Haute, Ind.—When Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, who was recently released from the Federal Prison in Atlanta, arrived at his home he was welcomed by thousands of his fellow-townsmen. Debs was given a ten year sentence in the Federal Prison nearly three years ago on account of an anti-war speech in 1918. Since that time efforts for his release have been insistent. President Harding granted a commutation of the case and Debs was freed as a Christmas gift. Declaring that he would not rest until he had helped resource his prison mates to their loved ones, Debts thanked his friends for their hearty welcome and withdrew to his home for a reunion with his wife and family. Dr. C. M. Moates Urged as Minister To Haiti Washington, D. C.-Dr. C. M. Montes, colored physician of Leavenworth Kansas has been recommended to President Harding for appointment as Minister to Haiti.

VERY year some mathematical calculator figures out that this country would be several billions richer if, as VERY year some mathematical calculator figures out that this country would be several billions richer if, as a nation, we abolished the good, old custom of the Christmas tree. Yes, in actual dollars and cents valuation of our natural resources the United States would be more wealthy for the continued growth of the evergreens. However, we believe no better return ever came from trees than the true joy which all mankind gets from Christmas trees at this the greatest of all holiday seasons. Nearly 5,000,000 young evergreens go upon the Christmas-tree market each year. 1,300,000 in New York and the New England states alone, and it is an easy matter for an enthusiast who is quick with the pencil to figure up the waste in our natural resources by the annual loss of this embryo timber. The economic consideration is entirely infeasible, for in the Northeastern states the proportions of the trees come from past land or that which would be cleared in the ordinary course of improvement. Later, these trees would be cut anyway. Of course, wholesale destruction over watershed areas should be discouraged as in any forestry activity, but it must be remembered that the Christmas-tree custom is one of southeast, not of economics — American Agriculturalist.

Moton) (For the Associated Negro Press) It is a happy aftermath of the Great War that the people of the earth are trying to arrive at a better understanding of each other and that nations of the earth are striving for greater co-operation in all things that make for human welfare. It is not surprising, therefore, that a similar consciousness should be found among the four hundred million Negroes of the world. There is a natural desire, stimulated by the events of recent years, that Negroes in North America, in South America, in Africa and in the islands should all want to know more of what is happening to each group—all the strivings and aspirations to be found within the several groups and to find some means of common action looking toward their improvement and advancement in every line of human endeavor. These four hundred million souls constitute a tremendous force in the events which are now transpiring upon earth, a force whose influence is destined to be felt more and more as the means of communication between various parts of the world are improved and the facilities for production, manufacture and distribution are enlarged and simplified. Then, too, they promise to affect more vitally the currents of world thought and procedure as their own consciousness of their power and resources develop and they become alive to their opportunities and possibilities of world order. There is need, at this time, of wise, strong and intelligent leadership in all these various groups of Negroes, who shall, with understanding, skill and unselfishness, direct the footsteps of their brother who are groping their way out of darkness toward a light that grows brighter and brighter with each succeeding year. They must be taught to be skillful, efficient and 'reliable—those who—work for others and those who direct their own affairs and play an independent part in the activities of industry and commerce that surge around about them. The Negro has not yet been entirely dispossessed of his natural claims to a share in the world's doings. In spite of the despoiling hand of adventurer's and exploiters in all parts of the world, there is still left to the race in all parts of the world some foothold upon the soil, whose resources await skillful development by their rightful owners to whom they will yield wealth and happiness for multitudes of human souls. At the same time, these four hundred million Negroes, whose future lies ahead of them, bright with possibility and promise, will fail of their ultimate and highs good if somehow they do not discover the way to a vital effective and honorable co-operation with other races of men with whom they come into ever enlarging contact. The time is not yet, if ever it will be, that any group of mankind can have a long-continued and successful development without affecting cordial and reciprocal co-operation with other races of men. The world has just witnessed the explosion of two ideas with which man have in the past been strongly obsessed; the one, that any single nation or group of people can long dominate the rest of the human family; the other, that nations and races of the earth can singlehanded over come the difficulties which nature oppose to their advancement, or the weaknesses and perversities of human nature thrust forward to hinder their progress. This much the dominant races of the world have been forced to consider at a terrible cost of blood and money toward which the dark races have been made to pay their shape. It were incredible folly if the less favored people of the earth should deliberately and blindly rush into a similar catastrophe, having failed to profit by the mistakes of others. Mankind is challenged anew to a belief in the efficiency of that gospel of peace and good will which this season has been bringing for nearly two thousand years. Certainly there in need for such a faith. The homes and lives of myriads of suffering families cry out for a leadership that believes not only in justice, in freedom and in brotherhood, but in good will, in faith, in righteousness as the means to achieve that goal. If ever human events can prove the futility of hatred, of enmity, of bitterness of strife, the history of the world for the past decade has given us that proof. That man, that nation, that race is wise that benefits by this dreadful example. And of all the people of the earth, these four million Negros, scattered in every country and clime, have most to benefit and least to lose in heeding that lesson. ONE BIG ORGANIZATION A people situated as are Colored Americans, cannot afford to divide its forces when it fights for the rights of citizenship and manhood; when it fights for the right to vote, the right not to be lynched or jimcrowed, the right to be free from the control of right to b fre from the control of such outlaws as the Ku Klux Klan. As a group, and as the minority group we cannot afford to fight except in ONE ORGANIZATION. —and in the best one we can make. This seems so plain that one fears that he must appear insulting to intelligent people even to call such an axiom to their attention. And yet we find from time to time groups of selfish Colored men getting together and starting out to duplicate organization that is already in existence. We hold a big meeting somewhere, effect some quick loose organization and then "pass the hat around," saying: "Here's an organization to Break up lynching, or to Help Tula, or to oppose the Ku Klux Klan," when we know full well that permanent, well-made organization already exists thru which these ends can be pursued more economically and more effectively. But, we some of us, are willing to have a few thousand dollars rolled into our pockets and then shut up shop and run off with the bag. A race which is battling to save its very life, cannot afford such hybrids as these. Personally I would rather "Steal my money off the eyes of a dead man," than to mislead, to dupe, cheat and damn people of my own blood and fortune who are already handicapped and almost bewildered in an age-long fight to be free. For every time one of these "Send us a-dollar" organizations spring up, a goodly number of innocent and well meaning Colored folk who want to help their race, "bite." If we could only but remember: THAT ANY MAN OR GROUP OF MEN ATTEMPTING TO DUPLICATE THE BURDENS UNDER WHICH WE NOW STRUGGLE TO FORWARD OUR FIGHT, EITHER IGNORANT OR DISHONEST AND TREACHEROUS. If two organizations try, for example, to break up lynch, there must be two sets of officers, two offices, two treasuries, divided forces in every particular and mostly work at cross purposes. What is the obvious conclusion of commonsense under these circumstances? Why, simply to stick to the organization which has the best chance, of accomplishing the thing which the group desires—WHATEVER THAT ORGANIZATION MAY BE. We are not interested here in any particular organization, but we do not want more than one organization to attempt to right our national wrongs to the Negro race, and we want all Negroes in it. And we fear even then it will not be as strong as we would like it. The Negro, north, east, south and weet, has but one problem and one difficulty; he must make ont concentrated attack upon it. If he divides, he is lost. Lynching, distranchisement, Mob violence, the Ku Klux Klan, Segregation, Jim Crowism, as a National problem of colored Americans, must be met by concentrated, undivided and indivisible effort of ONE BIG ORGANIZATION.

Dr. Woodson Writes On Negro Church Washington, D. C. For years to come the church of the Negro race jersey of leaders of the Negro race in the belief expressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in a new book just published entitled "The History of the Negro Church." While the author sees in the record of the church reasons for hope that the institution will continue to figure in the life of the Negro as a conspicuous factor, yet he does not hostile to consider the faults and shortcomings of the institution. The startling feature of the book is the mass of valuable information generally unknown to the public. Although not a churchman himself, Dr. Woodson has made the Negro denominations acquainted with themselves. The work contains so many facts culled from rare sources that it compels the attention of everyone intelligently interested in the history of the race. The book is well-illustrated, and is undoubtedly the History of the Negro Church for which the public has long been waiting. There have been produced many volumes in this same field, but none like this work. Without denominational bins it treats in a gripping manner the strivings of the Christian Negroes after an ideal, which they have for centuries endeavored to attain by the development of their church. There is an interesting panorama of the coming of the missionaries, the conversion of the slaves, the rise of the Negro preacher, the independent church movement, the untoward condition of the neglected bondmen, the role played by the Negro churchman in freedom and what the church is doing today. On the whole, this work actually establishes the claims of Dr. Woodson as an authority in a new field. His previous works "The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861", "A Century of Negro Migration" and his work as Editor of the "Journal of Negro History" have been widely read by both white and colored people who have been interested in the history and development of the Negro race.

WHY FRESH AIR IS GOOD MEDICINE EVERYONE knows that fresh air is one of the best medicines and incidentally one of the cheapest. More and more doctors are prescribing "the fresh air cure" for all sorts of diseases. Yet not all people know fresh air when they see it or realize to what it owes its tonic qualities. Here are the principal signs by which you may know "fresh air." (1) Fresh air is cool air. Air that is above $68^{\circ}$ F is always harmful except for very old people. Whenever the indoor temperature rises above this point the circulation is upset, one tends to become dull, languid, and inefficient, and the delicate membranes of the nose and throat are injured so as to cause a great liability to colds and other respiratory diseases. (2) Fresh air is moving air. Still air blankets the body and produces a deadening, numbing effect. Air in gentle motion stimulates the skin. (3) Fresh air is moderately moist air. Either very dry or very humid air is harmful. (4) Fresh air is variable air. Slight changes in temperature and humidity are stimulating and wholesome for the body. These four qualities are always found to the best advantage out of doors and it is for this reason that sleeping, working and living in the open is one of the best ways of keeping the body fit, vigorous and efficient. When you must be indoors, don't forget your good friend, the thermometer. The best thing that ever happened for the health of the children of New York was a regulation requiring the placing of a thermometer on the front of every teacher's desk, with a heavy red line opposite $68^{\circ}$ degrees. A thermometer of this kind in every living room and work place, with somebody watching it to turn off heat or open windows as soon as the temperature passes $68^{\circ}$ degrees, would cut in half the number of colds and other nose and throat diseases from which America suffers as a result of overheating.

The Guide Publishing Co. 711-717 Highland Avenue Norfolk, Virginia 23100 ```markdown ``` Telephone 23100 Woman Walks Seven Miles To Aid Tuberculosis Association. Richmond, December—Mrs. Kisergruber of Granite, Virginia, was told by the County Nurse of the plan which the Virginia Tuberculosis Association has tried this year, whereby anybody wishing to buy Christmas Seals and not having ready money for the purpose, can give a chicken in payment for the seals. The method of purchasing seals with a chicken has been used in many rural sections, but Mrs. Kaisergruber is the most enthusiastic buyer on record, for she walked seven miles to the Association's office in Richmond to exchange her hen, weighing four and a half pounds, for the gay little Christmas Seals which support the tuberculosis work. Mrs. Kisergrouber's interest in public health work began with the treatment which the County Nurse secured for her daughter, who was a cripple and had never been able to walk or use her hands. This young woman, at the age of twenty-one, has been operated upon and is now walking on crutches, with the surgeon's assurance that she may in time even discard these, and will through a further operation gain the use of her hands.
