HOLDS HAITIANS NEED ANNUAL MEET AMERICAN AID REV. C. P. MADISON Chairman Board of Directors J. T. GIVENS, M. D. Vice-President GEORGE W. MILLNER Vice-President Report of Work Done During 1921 Received at Afternoon Session. Progress on Anti-Lynching Bill Received. New York—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its annual meeting in New York on January 9, receiving the report of work done during 1921, at an afternoon session and reporting on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill at a night mass meeting in the Palace Casitio, 185th Street and Madison Avenue. At the afternoon session Dr. Ernest H. Gruening (managing editor of the Nation, who accompanies it to Haiti) charged the sonnets with having "whitewashed" the occupation of the black republic and with having spent insufficient time there to take the necessary action on acrocrites alleged against. Marines Charles Edward Russell, orator and author, spoke at the night mass meeting at which there was music by the band of the 15th Regiment, N. N. G. Regiment, and Mr. Russell welcomed the advent of the new Negro who, he declared, was ready to stand up for his rights. Mr. Russell ridiculed President Harding's assertion that there was an "impassable gun" in the United States and advocated that, before attempting to lead the world to disarmament, the United States disarm the lyncher within her own borders. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the Association, urging continued and vigorous support of the Dyer Bill, asserted that lynching was one of the means of perpetrating peonage and the economic exploitation of the Negro in the United States. "Lynching protects money," said Mr. White, "and money is being spent throughout the United States to keep up lynching so that the exploitation of the Negro may be continued." The meeting telegrams were read from Representative Dyer, representative Martin Madden, of Illinois and from James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Association, who had to be in Washington on the night of the lynching with Republican leaders on the progressions of the Dyer Bill. In his telegram to the N. A. A. C. P.; Representative Madden said: "The time has arrived when the crime of lynching should be recognized by the nation as outlawed and all who participate in it as outlawed, I am heartily in favor of the anti-lynching bill now before Congress."

C.—American Colored. men and women can render a great service to Haiti, according to Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois, who has just returned from the Island Republic. Senator McCormick is chairman of the special committee of the United States Senate appointed to investigate conditions in Haiti and Senegal. Incident to the American occupation Although this committee has not made its formal report as yet, it has made a preliminary report to the Secretary of State in which it urges the American government to adopt by the American Government; that American officials who are sent to Haiti be selected because of their fitness to meet the peculiar conditions in that country; that, paralleling the efforts to be done along the educational and agricultural, as well as financial lines. One of the essentials for effectual work in Haiti is a knowledge of French which is the language of the country. It is also helpful, but the knowledge of French is of paramount importance. Senator McCormick speaks French fluently, and his colleagues, on the Senate committee have remarked that it was largely due to his ability not to stand French as spoken by the native Haitians, that the work of the committee was made much easier than they expected. In part referring to the work of the Colored men, do for his brother in Haiti, Senator McCormick's report says: "Here missionary enterprise, altogether apart from religious teaching, can render a great social service. Here, too, the American Colored man, at home or at work, is the trained Colored lawyer in the reform of Haitian justice) can render a great service to the men of his own race. The fold of industrial and agricultural education is virgin. There is no need for special teachers and special teachers all must be brought to the country. "It is obvious I think, Mr. Secretary, that such a general policy as many of us who have visited Haiti for study are agreed upon, can only succeed in the measure to compel the government to parry it off. As much as we deplore the instances of illegal or otherwise outrageous acts committed by individuals in the forces of Occupation in Haiti and Santo Domingo these acts were not guilty individuals have demonstrated (Continued on Pearl Eight) NEW Y.

It follows him on that job and urges upon him settled habits of industry and thrift and the importance of the element of self-rollance and stability in the making of the government in men who are unemployed, but it is also interested in employed men whose work does not give them a proper chance for development and promotion.

Earl Johnson Makes Great Showing Pittsburgh, Pa. twice its race in the hole in the Paris Olympic marathon of 1924 is Earl Johnston, the Negre from Pittsburgh, who appears to possess all the qualifications of a great distance runner, according to a leading sport writer. He has style, speed and stamina, the attributes of a real runner. Without having prepped himself for a race over a score of miles it is on record that right off the real and when he had fancied him he stepped along in perfect form and showed winning ability over a route of a score of miles. He has the close to the ground action so necessary for a marathoner. And by his running over different distances from two to ten miles he has shown himself without a peer in the Unld. States.

Mr. Penn addressed the student body; being one of the foremost leaders of the Race, it indeed was a delight on the part of students to listen to the address he delivered, which was so emphatic, that he dwelled considerably on "Leadership"; and emphasized the fact "There is plenty of room at the top" for leaders of course. EMANCIPATION DAY AT HAMPTON Large Crowd Attends Public Exercises, Held Under Auspices of Elizabeth City County Emancipation Association. Hampton, Va.-Two thousand colored men, women and children of the Lower Peninsula of Virginia celebrated the fifty-ninth anniversary of Emancipation Day by holding public exercises in Odgen Hall, Hampton Institute, under the auspices of the Elizabeth City County Emancipation Association, of which C. H. Henderson is president. Dr. James E. Gregg, in his address of welcome, declared that it was appropriate to link up the thought of his father with the freedom—"A school," he said, "is a peculiarly appropriate place for the commemoration of the end of slavery and the freedom—intellectual freedom, deliverance, the bondage of superstition and ignorance; moral freedom, deliverance from all the habits which enchain him from being a man and keep him from being his man and truest self." Doctor Gregg added. Hampton Institute belongs to the colored people. It is devoted to serving them and to serving the young opioe of the Indian race. Ali that Hampton Institute for the enrichment and the upbuilding of the races which they represent. COMMUNITY CENTER WILL BE BOUGHT Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, in introducing the speaker of the day, Dr. James E. Shephard, president of the National Training School at Durham, C., urged the colored people to join the community center, so that their boys and girls may have a place for wholesome recreation. Major Washington impressed upon his hearers the importance of present action. He declared that precrastination would be a great calamity to the community as it would loss of a community center three times as valuable as the price which the colored people are called on to pay. J. M. Pollard of the National Headquarters of Community Service, Inc., made an appeal to the people to contribute to the fund for the purchase of the local Hampton community house. He referred to the work of his colleague, Johnathon aulation of 9,600 homes for a community center; in Cleveland, 35,000 gave $10,000; and in Columbus, colored people gave $18,000. WORTH WHILE PROGRAM The Emancipation Day program included stigging of "America" by the audience; invocation by Rev. J. T. Johnson, of Hampton; "O Freedom," sung by he audience; reading of the lesson; reading by Miss Lucy C. Burrow, of Phoenicia; adding "The Essentials of a Democracy" by Arthur P. Davis, uHampton Institute student, emphasizing "respect for law, education and intelligence, physical and moral courage, deep spiritual life and high Christian ideals, as possessed by Negroes." "Soldiers of the American Gnee Club"; "Negro National Hymn"; by James Weldon Johnson and music by Rosamond Johnson, sung by Pheoons Gnee Club: and benediction, Rev. John H, Gray of Hampton. TRIBUTE TO HAMPTON INSTITUTE Doctor Shephard, in his address on the "Possibilities and Reasonsibilities of American Citizenship," paid a tribute to Gen. S. C. Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute, to Dr. H. B. Frissell, his successor, and to the present Principal. Doctor Shephard's mother, Mrs. Armstrong, the Hampton Institute. "The part that Hampton Institute has played in all phases of American life for/the perpetuation of the spirit of free institutions," declared Doctor Shephard, "is convincing proof of the fact that not a dollar which has been spent for or on the initiative was wasted, but that it will repay to the nation thousandsold. The millions of dollars which have already been expended for its existence would not have been wasted, if it had turned out only Booker T. Washington, who put a new emphasis and therefore a new glow upon labor. It has also provided Robert B. Moton, a safe, conservative, strong friend and counsellor. NEGROES MAKE PROGRESS "Negroes in the United States today have 600,000 homes and 280,000 farms valued at $760,000,000; operate 74 banks, 12 fire insurance companies, and a number of industrial life insurance Negroes have over 50,000 business and administrative have accumulated wealth to the amount of $1,200,000,000. They have 85,000 school teachers an dover 2,000-999 children attending public schools. Seven hundred young colored men and women have graduated from our highest colleges and universities. Negroes have 43,000 churches and church property valued at more than $88,000,000. These figures show the possibilities of the race in America. NEW DAY IS DAWNING "I am not here to say that the race has had a fair show in the race of life; but there is growing up in the Southland a large group of people with the largest share of the blessings of life and of the rights of life—the things to which they are entitled and which they will eventually come into, if they patiently work and work and acquire education and serve God as their guide and feel of love. Men and women, whatever the differences have been whatever the prejudices or the limit." NEW NORMAL SCHOOL FOR YORK COUN Five Pointed Star of Succ Stressed at Dedication Excises of York County Training School. BUILDING STANDS AS MONUMENT Hampton, Va.—Dr. James Hardy Dillard, Charlottesville, Va., who is rector of William and Mary College and president of the Jean and Slater Boards, in his recent address at the dedication of the York County Training School, declared that teachers everywhere should give their pupils "the five pointed star of real success—more knowledge, reliability, independence, politeness and goodwill." In 1822 there were 4 Colored county training schools in the South; now there are 142, including 23 in Virginia. The first year there were 77 students doing normal school work; last year there were 2247 counties more educated than students. "There is no reason why we should and colored people should not live together happily; education and true religion will do it," said Doctor Dillard. J. Renforth, former superintendent of York County School, that the York County Training School is the best school building in York County. The patrons are contributing $1,035 to this building. Already 3265 have been paid in. B. C. Charles the superintendent, was present and spoke. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, stated that fathers and mothers wish their children to do better than they. "True teachings of learning are marked by thoroughness, thoughtfulness and thankfulness," H. W. Brown, an expert in schoolhouse construction, said that the building committees showed excellent judgment in selecting which not only assured themselves of the maximum value for the money invested, but they also gave a local institution a place to a Hampton Institute trade school for an opportunity to distinguish himself. The building in design, material, and workmanship, stands as a monument to the wisdom and energy of those who were responsible for fifty-structure.

By this allowed for healing of the bronchus, it relieved of the pains of catarrhal disease, and it organized toward a healthier life.

BR oe SOE eaeeaan Lee io VOSA Sr Ry ea RAE 6 SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 We have learned long ago that it is easier to make money than to keep it; to know how to work than to know how to save some of what we earn. We are a hard working people; most of the race have to do the rougher sort of work and the women-folk have to do their share of such work. And what would the men of our race in Norfolk do to make ends meet if their women-folks were not willing to rise early and work late in domestic service, and other work they can get, to help them? It should be the pride of the men of the Afro-American race in all parts of the country that their women-folks have always been helpmeets who stood shoulder to shoulder with them in building and maintaining the home and educating the deaf children. Their loyalty in this respect from Reconstruction days to the present time, has been heroic if not spectacular. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, the venerable official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is one of the ripest and clearest thinkers the race has. In the Recorder of January 5, reviewing "Fifty Years of Progress," Dr. Wright says we have 4,000,000 "Negroes" who do not belong to any church and 15,000 ministers who "have no adequate training of systematic theology or the history of the church." and 25,000 school teachers "who cannot work the simplest problems in algebra, and to whom even complex fractions would be a stumbling block"; that while we may own two billion dollars of property there are, perhaps, four white men who own as much as we own, all told; that we have not begun to organize our material resources except in the simplest way, while the wages we earn are mostly spent at the end of the week with white traders who despise us while they take our money and refuse to give any employment except of the most menial sort. What then? Dr. Wright answers as follows: "Hence it is that we ourselves, are today our chief hindrances. We educate our children; they do not get the opportunity because we will not organize our material resources, so as to give it to them. Hence during the coming years there must be increased emphasis upon organization of our material resources. We must stop begging the white people to do for us what we are not willing to do for ourselves. We must not expect the white people to be better to us than we are to oursels." We don't need to become discouraged. To do so would butter no parsnips. We need to be told wherein we are weak so that we can strengthen the weak places, and, while we are doing so, can keep on a-coming. PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS The Jews have been persecuted, thousand years, and the persecuted still practiced in most of the old Great Britain and France. In the only been relieved in vindictiveness of some now living. In the Slav key the persecution of the Jews, stigma on the Christian Nations responsibility and infinite reprobationthirsty Turks in particular, Christians alike, when they could morial and other reasons have come to sidestep and condone the crime against the life and property of the United States is the one given all of his rights of citizen of his life and property being said. In many of our Southern States ered as undesirable citizens, main nishness and their ability to o trader. On this account the Jew the Ku Klux Klan, which has its ion as being undesirable. At the second annual conference Jewish, last week the very Rabbi of the British Empire, said in the history of mankind has known nothing of the unspeake perpetrated against the Jewish 6,000 human beings have been 3,000,000 persons in the Ukraine "the horrors of hell," and that he appeared in the newspapers, with 150,000 orphans and 35,000 doub rine of cold, hunger and disease come to their rescue. Is not this small corner of the map of the African people everywhere Jews seem to be the trouble bea pathies go out to them. It is his and the Africans should cease, than Nations to see that it does. Book Chat BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON have been persecuted in Europe for wars, and the persecution in one way. In most of the countries of Europe and France. In those countries the lives in vindictiveness a little bit with living. In the Slav States and Moldovation of the Jews, even unto death. Christian Nations from which they and infinite reproach. They have Turks in particular to slaughter them, when, they could easily have prevailed reasons have constrained the Child condone the crimes of Slavs and the property of Christians and Judean States is the only country in which its rights of citizenship, and where property being sacrificed by fans four Southern States, however the Judean citizens, mainly because of their ability to over reach every this account the Jews are classed as Klan, which has itself been declared undesirable. Second annual conference of the Federal last week the very Reverend, Joseph British Empire, said that one of the many of mankind has just closed, "and ang of the unspeakable horrors and against the Jewish people." He all beings have been butchered, that sons in the Ukraine have been made of hell," and that hardly a word of the newspapers, while 600,000 horns and 35,000 double orphans would hunger and disease, if the Jews of a rescue. Is not this a horrible state of the map of the world? people everywhere have trouble able to be the trouble bearers of Christenit to them. It is high time persecutors should cease. It is the business to see that it does cease. The Jews have been persecuted in Europe for more than two thousand years, and the persecution in one way and another, is still practiced in most of the countries of Europe, excepting Great Britain and France. In those countries the persecution has only been relieved in vindictiveness a little bit within the memory of some now living. In the Slav States and Mohammed Turkey the persecution of the Jews, even unto death, has become a stigma on the Christian Nations from which they cannot escape responsibility and infinite reproach. They have allowed the bloodthirsty Turks in particular to slaughter the Jews and Christians alike, when, they could easily have prevented it. Commercial and other reasons have constrained the Christian Nations to sidestep and condone the crimes of Slavs and Turks alike against the life and property of Christians and Jews. The United States is the only country in which the Jew is given all of his rights of citizenship, and where he has no fear of his life and property being sacrificed by fanatical mob fury. In many of our Southern States, however the Jews are considered as undesirable citizens, mainly because of their racial clanishness and their ability to over reach every other kind of trader. On this account the Jews are classed as undesirables by the Ku Klux Klan, which has itself been declared by public opinion as being undesirable. At the second annual conference of the Federation of Ukrainian Jews, last week the very Reverend Joseph Hertz, Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, said that one of the blackest pages in the history of mankind has just closed, "and yet the world knows nothing of the unspeakable horrors and infinite crimes perpetrated against the Jewish people." He alleges that 1,000,000 human beings have been butchered, that for three years 3,000,000 persons in the Ukraine have been made to pass through "the horrors of hell," and that hardly a word of these facts has appeared in the newspapers, while 600,000 homeless children, 150,000 orphans and 35,000 double orphans would die in the Ukraine of cold, hunger and disease, if the Jews of the world do not come to their rescue. Is not this a horrible state of affairs in a small corner of the map of the world? African people everywhere have trouble a-plenty, but the Jews seem to be the trouble bearers of Christendom. Our sympathies go out to them. It is high time persecution of the Jews and the Africans should cease. It is the business of the Christian Nations to see that it does cease. Concerning the buying of Books. I received a letter the other day from a woman living in a city of the Southwest which ran in part as follows: "I read what you wrote about what the publishers said about colored people not being a reading public, and I think they are wrong. I do not think the great majority of colored know about these books and pub- lations, and the few who do know like myself are so poor that they have not been able to subscribe and pay like they want to. They are just very poor as I am. Of course." ed in Europe for more than two vision in one way and another, is countries of Europe, excepting these countries the persecution has as a little bit within the memory of States and Mohammedan Turkeven unto death, has become a from which they cannot escape each. They have allowed the war to slaughter the Jews and easily have prevented it. Commstrained the Christian Nations ages of Slavs and Turks alike a Christians and Jews.

He alleges that 1,000,butchered, that for three years have been made to pass through hardly a word of these facts has while 600,000 homeless children, ole orphans would die in the Ukky, if the Jews of the world do not is a horrible state of affairs in a world? have trouble a-plenty, but the ers of Christendom. Our sym-igh time persecution of the Jews It is the business of the Chris-cease. can do housework at $2.50, $3.00 and sometimes $5.00 or a little more a week, but everything is mighty high and when the necessities of life are got there isn't anything left for books and papers." My correspondent agrees with me that only a few of the colored people know of the manifold books and publications on the Negro question, and this confirms me in my belief of the need of Book Chat. What she says of the inability of the Negro to buy books is another matter. Of course, a city that pays as low as $2.50 a week for housework, and only reaches as high as $5.00 or a little more, pays starvation wages. One is horrified that such exploitation of women should continue. And doubtless there are, either of my readers besides my correspondent who are struggling for the bare things of existence. But in the colored world as well as in the white there are large numbers 5 people who spend money for more things than actual shelter and food and raiment. They go to moving picture theatres; they buy a new record for the victrola, they indulge in sodas and sandaas, and if they want them badly enough, they buy books. They have the money for the things they most want. If you believe in wide reading, you can easily train a child to indulge in it. Give him a book shelf in his room, and see if it does not soon fill up. The child knows what it likes and makes its wants known and money will be saved for the new romance or history or book of adventure. When Christmas and birthday celebrations come the harrassed relative, wating to know what will please John or Susie, sees the book shelf and gladly gives a contribution The child I knew the best of all invariably asked for books as a gift and consequently had a very respectable library before she was out of her teens. It was decided that if she really wated the Waverley novels more than a string of gold heads she should have the Waverley novels. Few parents object to pampering a child's love for books. And it is the same as 'we grow older. Unless we are in the tragic $2.50 a week group, we have a margin for other than bare necessities and decide ourselves whether our surplus shall go toward a piano or a victrola, toward a plethora of moving picture, toward personal adornment or toward a well stocked library. We choose. How facinating book shelves are! To the lover of books, next to his own shelves, nothing is so fascinating as to browse around another man's bookcase. Unless the book agent has forced his wares upon an understanding buyer, books reflect their owner and are indicative of his taste and interests. How one thrills at the sight of a volume of well-loved poetry in another's home. One may be almost a stranger to the person one has gone to visit, but the book at once creates a common bond. It would be ill-bred to scrutinize too carefully a man's furniture, but it is always permissible to move one's hand lovingly over a line of books, picking out a favorite for perusal while waiting. For my part I cling to the open bookshelf, even though the tops of my volumes accumulate dirt. I love to see my books standing out wholly invitingly; not behind a film of glass, but where I may run my hand over them, taking one out without the formality of opening a door or moving up a partition. I got a high school girl to dust my books for me this fall. (She was not paid by the hour!) She seemed to me to take an unconscionable amount of time for the task. One week, two weeks, and it was not finished. And finally, when she had done she told me confidentially that she could not put a book-back upon the shelf without fondling it in her hands and looking for a brief space into it. There is your true book lover to whom the printed page is a living thing to be fondled and loved. With the new year shall we not resolve to begin a new book shelf and once a month add a new volume to it. That would mean twelve volumes a year, twelve new friends come to visit you, not for the brief moment that the library allows but to take off their wraps and settle down for life. Be cautious how you allow them to go visiting. They are so apt to lose their way, quite inadvertently, of course, and fail never to return home. But do you know them yourself, turning to them not for one reading only but again and again. What do you think of this as a New Year resolve Gentle Reader? STRAY THOUGHTLETS By James M. Harrison Now since Ford's a billionaire for poor John D. who shed a tear. Mrs. Fashion Height—"Albert look at the furnace, it is very cold up here; and after that call the milliner and ask if my spring hat will be ready at five o'clock." Bivens—"I see Miss Headstrong is taking aviation lessons." Givens—"That so? Always had an idea that girl was flighty." Wash day eliminated—Advertisement of several laundries. That has been the slogan of the hobbes all the time. Some of the devil's most busy days fall on Sunday. The monkey was complaining about a terrible draught, but Noah explained that the hippopotamus was asleep with his mouth open. "The good die young," said grampa to Willie, and Willie sent a shock to him when he said "you are elderly and you were told me that you was a good boy." Here's hoping that the new "peace" dollar will not be as alive as the war one. Jones—"Do you believe in signs?" Bones—"Yes, every since one fell and but me on the head." Etude School Of Music Of Portsmouth The pupils and teacher entertained quite a number at a home recital, 1834 High School, December 21, 1921. A daily evening, served with, Mrs. Elinora C. Donn as hostess. The children, parents and friends left with expressions having spent a pleasant time. The pupils and teacher entertained in the series of pupil recitals at Ebenezer Baptist church. The date will be announced later. The class is looking forward to a reunion. The students will be placed convictor to the robe. That racket you heard New Years' morn was Miss 1922 cranking her car for the unfinished trip to normalcy. The cost of living is still normal; a bushel of eggs can be exchanged for a bushel of coal. Money talks alright, but the average monthly pay envelope barely whispers when the landlord calls. We often wondered whether wrestlers trained at public dances. As the world grows more and more civilized we keep right on improving our alibis. One of the great mysteries is why opportunity never kidnaps a man unawares. When a woman says, "I'll think it over," she has already decided. "Few people practice the Golden Rule 'adolescens,'" says the Richmond Planet. Yes, and fewer still practice what they preach. We don't know who the first hold up man was in 1922, but the first "floor kissing party" was held in Portland, Ore., at Bill Tate's expense. "Every person in the U. S. will save $7.00 this year as a result of the removal of war taxes," News item. If it's all the same to Congress most of us would rather pay if we could collect in advance. Tip and the world waits on you, Save, and you save alone. For many a man nurses a ten cent tip. And his face is left as rough as stone. It is rumor that Professors of mathematics could simplify including the Highest Common Divisor by using new "Peace dollars as a basis. A Day In The Urban League Office In Atlanta, Georgia A Day In The Urban League Office In Atlanta, Georgia (William Pickens) (By Wm. Pleicken-the Asso. Negro Press) It is a fine example of co-operation and effective service. Jesse O. Thomas, the Secretary of the National Urban League, visited Atlanta. His office is a good sample of community of service. When we were recently in Atlanta, we sought opportunity to find out what goes on in this busy office suite of three rooms in the building of the Great Odd Fellow's Building on Monday. We remembered when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was meeting in Atlanta, a representative of the Urban League gave at least 15 hours in the office for registration headquarters in aid of the organization. This gives an idea of the possibility of co-operation among Negro organizations that are carrying out different parts of the one common program of that race. For example, the opportunity of the N. A. A. C. P. to organize people of Atlanta into a voting and publicity power that could compete the city officials to promise a certain part of the big bond issue for a Negro High School; but on our last visit Jesse O. Thomas' office enough of Jesse O. Thomas' office that after this bond issue was voted and the pledges made, it will be largely the opportunity of the Urban League to see that the pledge is carried out, that a proper and suitable school is secured and that other important skills of convenience and accommodation are respected. If you stand by as an onlooker in the Atlanta office of the League you will see a procession like this: a committee of citizens formulating improvement in the Colored sections, be approved by Bond Commissioner. Another group checking up on educational and housing surveys and asking suggestions concerning the Colored High School plans, in accordance with the band "campaign pldges." The telephone rings. It is the Recorder's Court. Sewn on there is a yonn gColored woman who refused to pay a second fare on the Jim Crow end of the street-car. The Field Secretary who has some entree with these authorities, is asked to come and get this girl out of the church and be paying. Then a group of Colored nurses, employed by the city, are me to consider of bringing pressure to bear for the remedy of some condition. Even a committee of physicians come in to ask information on mid-wifery, from a survey made by a secretary looking toward the passage. The Colored mafron face price headquarters, who seems to have been appointed by influence of the League, comes in to get information about smoothing over the difficulties she finds herself "up against." Then another woman, sent by Travellers' women on train and stranded. Yet another woman, wearing a daughter who needs psychopathic treatment. A father brings in an incorrigible son. A "Big Brother" seeks thru the Lague to get to in touch with a "Little Brother." And this League is continually busy with the DETAILS of the lives of WHITE and COLOED people. For example, ever since there has been a woman prisoners have court, colored women prisoners have court, to make them the basement of the fall on steel lattices, without mattress, spring, sheet or pillowcases. The influence of the League has had them moved to the second floor and provided with human accommodations. The Urban League supplies teachers in all the counties of the state that operate two months schools for Colored children in the summer time. And we trust they are working to mute these schools better and longer, if possible. If possible, we do so and so the work goes on through this organization, supplementary to that of other organizations, working to better the condition and raise the status of the American Negro, and black and white to live in. They organize day nurseries, Boy Scouts, Banking Clubs, Big Brother and Big Slater Movements. They and hundreds of questionaires to the industries that employ Colored folk, making suggestions about welfare work and welfare workers, and making complaints where advisable. We have one suggestion to make, to all urban League alone, but to all organizers of the HUMAN HONORING AND CO-ORDINATING METHODS AND FOR MUTUAL, HELP TITUS TOWN (Mrs. G. R. Mallou) *Mrs. G. M.

STRONG CAST OF COLORED STARS IMPRESS LARGE AUDIENCE The Dunbar players headed by Andrew Bishop and Cloe Desmond, assisted by a notable cast opened Monday evening at the Attica Theatre in "Within The Law" and made a decided hit. To say that this company has the most finished artists, who has appeared at this hour, is a victorious sentiment of those who witnessed the performances. Miss Desmond in the role of a victim of circumstantial evidence, played faultlessly, being able assisted by the co-star Andrew Bishop the unreelless Inspector of Police. Isabella Jackson as Agnes Lynch a confidence woman won her way into the hearts of the audience by her clever definition of personified innocence and shared the honors of the stars. The company a most capable one in which here was not a weak part was splendidly assisted by Chas. H. Moore, Arthur Ray, Charles Olden. J. Lawrence Criner, Elizabeth Williams and the favorite Susie Sutton. On Thursday evening, "Over The Hills to the Poorhouse" was ably presented, which holds the boards for the end of the week. To-morrow's matinee and night's performance closes the first week of this superb cast of colored performers—and it is safe to say that they will be ever welcome to Norfolk." Those who have not seen these artists have missed a histrionic treat. The popular demand that the Dumbar Players remain at the Attucks mother week has been so insistent that they have decided to stay over and will play Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in "The Spider," a far better production than either "Within The Law" or "Over the Hills To The Poorhouse"; and Thursday, Friday and Saturday in "Paid In Full." Bert Williams May (By The Associated New Press) Chicago, Ill—Bert Williams, who is now the acting manager, may soon enter the serious drama, according to information gained here. One of the loading dramatic critics of the city recently commented on this fact, in a daily paper. He said: "The melancholy twinge of Bert William's chief song in, "Under The Bamboo Tree," and the remarkable spell under which it holds the audience makes us wonder why Williams does not attempt soon what he has long claimed as his ambition—namely, the playing of a real drama by a Negro author. "I would like," says Williams, "to interpret my race as sympathetically as Mr. Warfield did a certain class of American citizen in the 'Auctioneer.' Each of us who has Negro blood is one that never fails to stamp on he heart or the spirit its racial traits. The laughter I have done is only on the surface. Now I would like to strike deeper." Gilpin has done this and, great as he is, he is not son compiled an artist as Williams. Aside from any problems of our American Negro citizens and the stage as a proper place to give them hearing, it is true that in one of the richest fields for the American dramatist only the surface has only been scratched. HAITIANS NEED AMERICAN AID by their suicide or confinement to assyrm, that they were irresponsible. The Government of the United States is, I think, consurable, because it has developed no policy and because it has in some instances chosen or has permitted to be chosen as its representatives in Haiti men who were not qualified for their work, or who were unsympathetic with the Haitian people in sharp contrast to others who have proved sympathetic and capable." The Senate committee will resume its hearings within the next ten days, upon Senator McCormick's return to Washington from Chicago where he has been called on official business. It is hoped by the committee, that he hearings may be concluded by the fore-part of February and final report made to the Senate at that time. Atty. Gen. B. Hayes of Washington, D. C., will appear at the Queen Street Baptist Church, Sunday, Jan. 18th at 8 p. m., under the auspices of the Missionary Circle. Heproto will introduce ability. Atty. Jas. M. Hara will introduce him. The atty is invited to hear him. (Continued from Page One) the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C.
