CARTER, President DOCTRINE OF GOOD WILL IN GEORGIA Better Element Of Both Races Hold Notable Conference In Athens With Dr. Moton, Judge Cobb and Others As Speakers. "CANNOT LIVE NOW IN THE PAST Athens, Ga.—That the doctrine of good-will is "leaving the lump", of inter-racial relations and hastening the day of better understanding in the South is borne out in a wonderful meeting which was held here last week in the Colonial theatre. The meeting was the conclusion session of the Northeastern Georgia Conference on welfare, and the general topic for discussion was "Recognition of the relationship between the zones." The speakers on the program included Hon. Gee: Foster Peabody, of New York; Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. James E. Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute and Dr. Jas N. H. President of the Jeanes Slater Boards and Judge Andrew J. Cobb of Athens. Judge Cobb who represents the highest type of Southern aristocracy spoke of the relationship between the success prior to the Civil War, that Cobb cannot live now in the past." Dr. Dillard presented five facts concerning the race relationship situation and three conclusions which we summed up briefly; that the South must recognize that are going to live side by side; that the South must recognize the economic importance of the Negro; that the two races can live side by side working out their common interests and segregations, free of any friction; that there are many more colored people who are well educated and refined right here in the South than the average white people with the northern white people justly claim that they are Christians. His conclusions were: Since the two races are to live together all should be educated that the southern people should treat with utmost consideration the people of another race who are making an AGAIN TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS We have resorted to much leniency and courtesy toward our subscribers, hoping thereby to encourage them to renew their subscriptions promptly. We have sent hundreds of them their subscription to almost months after their subscription expired, and while many of them have shown their appreciation for this favor and renewed... There are many yet far behind, whom we would delight to hear from. We fail to hear from them within the next five days, our patience will cease to be a virtue, and their names will be dropped from mailing list. effort to rise in the world, and the time has come when the best thought of the South must be given to the question of justice to all people." Dr. Moton was the only Colored speaker and much of the interest was centered about his remarks. In his characteristic way, Dr. Moton told the white people that he would tell them what the Colored people had in their hearts, their concerns the white people and on. The hand he would tell the Colored people what the white people had in the "back of their heads" concerning Colored people. This gave him an idea of the difficulties facing problems which are faced by both of the races in reaching a happy solution of the problem. ARMSTRONG AIMED TO PREPARE MEN FOR LIFE Mrs. Edith Armstrong-Talbot Interprets Her Father's Ideals Of Education. Hampton, Va.—That Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong's ideal for Negroes was the kind of education which enable colored men and women to live successfully in the same world of mind and spirit that the white man should oppose, pressured by Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbot, daughter of General Armstrong, in a recent address on "Armstrong and His Ideals," delivered in the Queen Street Baptist Church of Hershey, Mrs. Talbot declared that the white man's world is ruled by mind, not by feelings and emotions, and that the people who allow themselves to be governed by their feelings, or nerves which reflect feeling never succeed in it. Mrs. Talbot said: "General Armstrong would never listen to anyone who had a 'grievance,' the worst mental disease one can contract—though he was never wrong. The sense of injury must first be conquered and then the wrong can be righted. A grievance is a poisonous infections, explosive thing which leads to a state of insanity which might decision and progress impossible. "Only such leaders will bring the race to its own who are big enough to conquer their own feelings and condition—leaders in whom 'mind rules.' Any policies conceived and enacted by leaders will be good and successful. "Negroes should become a hard race—not hard like a rock, but hard like the sugar-maple tree, which is wounded every year and loses its life-blood, but heals its wounds overtime too busy growing to dwell on them. "Certain kinds of education help a man to gain the rule of mind over feeling, industrial and technical education, artistic and business training, which require both practice and application to construct knowledge, help most. Classical education enlarges the scope of action of the man who has learned how to rule himself with his own mind, but does not help him gain such rule." Mrs. Talbot read Matthew Arduino "Huggy Gospel" poem his father, Thomas Arnold, "greatest of English educators," which she declared was the best picture of father ever written.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 B. L. JORDAN, Chairman Executive Committee CARTERHEADS COMMERCIAL BANK & T. CO. CARTERHEADS WHITE WOMEN COMMERCIAL WANT INTERBANK & T. CO. RACIAL AMITY Prominent Lawyer and Business Man Named To Succeed T. C. Erwin, Who Resigned On Account Of Ill Health. JORDAN CHAIRMAN EXEC. COMMITTEE (Special to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va.—The Board of Directors of The Commercial Bank and Trust Company of Richmond, Virginia at a regular meeting held on Thursday, February 9, 1922 elected James T. Carter, a loading attorney of the city, and President and General Counsel of the Southern Aid Society, a prominent law firm, a president of the bank to fill the unexpired term of T. C. Erwin, the former president, who resigned on account of ill health. The new president of The Commercial Bank and Trust Company enjoys an enviable reputation as a prominent lawyer, and efficient and progressive business man and as a gentleman of culture, character and vision. His experience with big business enterprises as President of the Southern Aid Society and Grand President of the World, has demonstrated his capacity for big tasks, and the manner in which he has administered the affairs of the high and responsible offices he holds, attests his honor, integrity and ability. And meeting the Office of Chairman of the Executive Committee was created and Mr. B. L. Jordan was unanimously elected to fill the same. The position is a very important one as The Chairman of the Executive Committee will be associated with the president in the direction of the bank's policies and affairs. Mr. Jordan is well known in the business world having been engaged in various lines of business for more than a quarter of a century. His most outstanding achievement, however, was his work with the Southern Aid Society of Virginia of which he is Secretary Manager. Mr. Jordan has been associated with the Southern Aid Society since its organization and it is conceded by all in a position to know the facts, that the present remembrance of the Society is due to his efficient management, his abiding faith in the possibilities of the business, his breadth of vision, his resourcefulness and his fidelity to its every interest. The action of the Board of Directors is a response to the need of the ability, experience and integrity these new officers will bring to it; mark a new era in the career of the institution and guarantee it a place in the ranks of financial institutions among Negroes in America.

WOULD PROTECT COLORED WOMEN Nashville, Tenn.-Declaring that "unless lawlessness and mob violence can be checked, the very foundation of our civilization is threatened," a large company of representative Tennessee women, white, from all sections of the state, in session at McKendree church here plodged themselves to cultivate a Christian attitude with regard to inter-racial question and organized the women's section of the Tennessee Inter-Racial Committee. The meeting which was called by Mrs. Luke G. Johnson of Atlanta, representing the Southern Commission was able to secure security promotion in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the South. Mrs. Johnson presided over the security promotion in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the South. Mrs. Johnson presided over the security promotion in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the South. Mrs. R. W. Motion of Tennessee, Mrs. R. W. Motion of Tuskegee, Aln., Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Southern College, Prof. L. M. Favrot of Louisiana and Dr. Alexander who is the Executive Secretary of the Inter-Racial Commission outlined its genesis and made a strong appeal for the application of Christian principles in inter-racial relations, instead of leaving the whole home, or seeking to solve it by force. Mrs. Moton, the wife of Major R. R. Moton, who succeeded Booker T. Washington as head of Tuskegee Institute, made a brief talk, dignified and informative, in the friendship and co-operation of the white race and pleading for the sympathy and help of the white women in the South in the development of better hygro homes and housing for the declarations of the meeting were these; We appreciate the chivalry of white men, but deplore the fact that a Colored man must suffer violence in the protection of the women of their race. We therefore pledge ourselves to cultivate the Christian attitude of mind in every day contracts, by discouraging the use of these terms in the use of the word in press that arouse resentment and convey a sense of inferiority or contempt; by using our influence against rudeness on the part of all public officials; by the employ of officials; by standing for justice and opportunity and the fullest possible development to which every individual of the race can attain.

The music lovers of Tidewater enjoyed a veritable treat last week in having the St. Paul Singers from St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va. They appeared for three performances in Portsmouth two for colored and one for white audiences and once in Norfolk. On each occasion they sang to the entire satisfaction of all present. Indeed it is said by both white and colored that they are the best they have ever heard. Not only are they masters in the interpretation of the old familiar Ante-bellum folk songs, but the best in grand opera is heaved out with the same elysianism. Wherever they appeared the audiences were simply swept off their feet, were held spell-bound and bewildered and were moved to laughter or tears at the will of the singers. The St. Paul Singers very conclusively demonstrated their ability to sing while in Tidewater and if fortune should perchance bring them again to this section they will have no trouble in obtaining audiences, as the public has been convinced. Under the leadership of Mr. Thaddeus Caldwell the St. Paul Singers are reflecting credit on the institution. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH. James E. Campbell. Reporter. Sunday school at 9:15 a. m.

NORFOLK TAKES PROGRESSIVE STEPS Norfolk has gone on record, 6 to 1, in favor of the bond issue of $5,000,000 for port improvements. The Negro vote stood ten to one in favor of the issue, because the Negro citizen is as much alive to the importance of improving the port facilities of Norfolk as the white citizens are. They will not only bear their share of the taxation to pay the principal and interest of the issue, but they will share very appreciably in the expenditure of the money as wage-earners, and they will spend what they don't spend for living in Norfolk stores and deposit what they don't spend for living in Norfolk banks. The annexation plans just voted by the City Council, if carried through will give Norfolk 21.9 more square miles, 36,000 more inhabitants and taxable values of $12,500,000. It will make the city bigger and richer, and enable us to reap the better the advantages of improvement of the harbor which the bond issue will make possible. The Port Commission, headed by Mr. Barton Myers, and the City Council have shown farsightedness in the port improvement and annexation plans respectively. Boost Norfolk late and early must be the sign by which we conquer to get the most and best out of the bond issue and annexation. The interests of our group are so wrapped up in Norfolk and its well being as to be-inseparable from the interests of other groups, and we shall continue to keep our heads and shoulders busy helping the wheels of the city's business industries to go round and round with the regularity and smoothness that makes for growth, general prosperity and happiness. PICKENS STARTS SOMETHING William Pickens, the able, energetic and irrepressible associate field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, started something worth while the other day, when he testified at an investigation in New York City on the rewriting of history books. He made a plea, according to the New York World, that the part played by Negroes be included in American History. As a sample of Mr. Pickens testimony we quote: "I went through public school," he said, "and graduated from Yale and was a grown man before I ever learned that it was a black man who shot Major Pitcairne at Bunker Hill, or that one man out of every ten at the Battle of Lake Erie was black, or that in the War of 1812 there were many black men behind the American parapet of cotton bales, or that George Washington had hundreds of colored soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln said that without the 200,000 black troops on the Northern side they never would have won. "For the sake of good feeling between black and white that is essential, I want our histories to show the part that colored soldiers played in the great War." We are not surprised that Mr. Pickens went through Yale before he learned anything about the Negro's part in the making of history. The text books as written and taught in our system of public schools do not reveal anything to inspire Negro youth. The young Negro student, and the white as well, for that matter, learn much from these books about the origin and history of the black race that is misleading. The movement which has started in New York is at least an indication that there is a growing dissatisfaction with the way history books for use in public schools are written. WHAT TRAVELERS AID SOCIETY DOES More general interest would be manifested in the activities of the Travelers Aid Society if more were known about the very splendid work this organization does in this and other states. Every day some good deed is done by the Society, but the facts rarely ever get into the newspapers. In an appeal sent out recently in behalf of the Society, President Wm. S. Royster, gives out the following interesting facts: "Do you know that the Travelers Aid Society helped, without any pay from one of 67,025 persons in 1921? "Do you know that 162 of 106 of "Do you know that 162 of these arrived in the station ill, 106 of whom were sent to hospitals? "Do you know that 69 runaways were apprehended and sent to their homes? "Do you know that the Travelers Aid, by reason of its chain of representatives in all cities, was able to send a child five years old alone to Nw Orleans? The child was in the care of the train crews until junction points were reached, where the Travelers Aid people took care of her and placed her on the proper train for the next point. Another was sent to Oklahoma. Do you know that there is an older employed who speaks five languages to help in our fast growing immigration problem? "Do you know that Travelers Aid workers meet every day of the year twenty-two trains and twenty-seven boats? Recently some of these trains have been arriving as late as one o'clock in the morning. "Do you know that the Travelers Aid renders service to all, irrespective of age, creed or color? "One runaway girl whom we induced to return home wrote back to us: "Lost, but safe with the Travelers Aid." "A number of ladies have taken up the matter of raising funds to employ a colored worker. This is quite proper, as while the Society serves all, "irrespective of age, creed or color," the colored citizens should share in supporting the work, and this can best be accomplished by the employment of a colored worker with funds raised among colored people. We must do more for our own, and when we have done so the support of others will strengthen our efforts.

By Norman Angell, an article in the Freeman for January 11, published at 116 West 13th Street, New York City. Price 15 cents. I am turning from books to a magazine article that seems to me of especial significance. Mr. Norman Angell is a well known English writer, who has broad views on international questions. He attended some of the sessions of the Pan African Congress both in London and in Paris. This article is of importance because it shows us clearly what those who attended the Pan African congress observed, that the French Negro is first a Frenchman and second a Negro. I quote Mr. Angell: "The English speaking group (at the congress) habitually spoke of themselves as "we Negroas" while those from French territory spoke of themselves as "we Frenchmen"." This, as Mr. Angell goes on to explain comes from the fact that France draws no color line. The Negro members of the Chamber of Deputies, for instance, or of the legal profession have not only no official difficulties, they have no social difficulties in their relationship with their white colleagues. "They dine in the homes of members of the cabinet, plead for white clients in the courts, and it would never even occur to their French colleagues to treat them with any sort of social exclusion." France has managed to make these men and countless other Africans feel that they are all French in spirit and feeling as well as in law. Mr. Angell finds something fine about this "from the merely moral or sentimental aspect" but he wants us to consider it politically. And what does it mean politically? To Mr. Angell it means this: That hereafter the success of France means Negro success, and that the French Negroes, wiser than the visionaries who talk of a consolidarity of the black race, have France to fight their battles for better treatment the world over. The French Negro leader thought, as Mr. Angell conceives it from the meetings of the congress but still more from private conversation, is something like this: "There is a great instrument of power which can be used for the defence of Negro interest and right within our reach if we play our cards properly. That instrument is the political and military power of France. We possess in African conscription the wherewithal to bargain for the placing of French power—and France is the predominant military State in the world—on the side of Negro right. Let us look at a few facts. "The French army is already one-third Negro. The birth rate of France is stationary. But the birth rate of the Negro is not stationary. There is one way and only one by which France can maintain a permanent parity of power with her army long enemy, Germany, and that with the help of the African Negro. We Negroes therefore hold the balance of power in the greatest quarrel in Western civilization. What more could we ask as an instrument for securing our rights in the world? France shall be our spokesman among the white powers. When on the next occasion a colored nation, whether Asiatic or African, demands as a principle, say, of the League of Nations, the recognition of racial equality, and when some new Mr. Wilson, as the protagonist of democracy, chooses to oppose that principle, then France shall stand upon it. She shall stand upon it because that will be the one condition of her being able to put any reliance upon her largest military raw material. In any vital Negro question, this greatest of the military powers will support us. We As we see it, any proposed revision of American History meets the hearty concurrence of the average New York schoolboy. Home to the average youth is merely a place to go when every place else is closed. To cultivate your future, apply yourself, but to bankrupt your future, kill time. Now that a bill to prevent the teaching of Darwinism has failed in the Kentucky Legislature, Kentuckians who come East for a broader education won't be conditioned in their science. It's not surprising that a modern Miss lets flattery go to her head,—but you can blame her for scoffing at wholesome advice. must ask a large price for our military support; and that is the greatest political asset of the Negro race today." So Mr. Angell interprets the Negro in France and the willingness of the great mass of Negroes in the African possessions, who ten years ago did not know the Rhine from the Congo, to accept the leadership of their black Frenchmen in high office and be conscripted to fight n Europe. This is "The Negro conquest of France," a political conquest that may be of far reaching significance to all of Europe. And yet is that just what Mr. Angell means by the Negro Conquest? He has a footnote, one that he intends to be sinister. In it he suggests a racial conquest of France, a mingling of black and white blood. Is this his conquest? You must read it and make your own judgment. At any rate it is a significant article, perhaps the best of a number of articles of liberal tendency published recently in The Freeman. School Activities J. C. PRICE SCHOOL Rebecca Barnes, of the 8th A. Grade was absent from school if more than a week on account of the illness of her mother. The Ideal Literary Society had a special Lincoln program on Feb. 10th. The numbers which deserved special mention are: Recitations by Winston Tyler, George Alston, Mildred Hodge and Florence Felton; Instrumental Duet by Lenora Hardy and Mary Smith, and an acrostic by a number of small girls. Lemuel Felton, of the 8th A. Grade deserved commendation for not having been absent or tardy during the first term. Bessie Gains and David Hawkins were not absent but had several cases of tardiness against them. Delphina Gregory, a pupil of the 8th A. Grade and pianist of the Ideal Society, has been absent from her class for several days suffering from an attack of the Lagrippe. Misses Julia Bell and Mabel Perry and Mrs. Iola Parham, of our teaching corps have been absent for more than a week because of illness. We wish for them a speedy recovery. On Monday morning the 7B. Class welcomed the return of Clyde Plummer and George Chatman, our "Sunshine Boys," who have been on the sick list. They are usually so regular in their attendance we know nothing else could keep them from school for a whole week. B. T. WASHINGTON NOTES The faculty and students were highly entertained Friday of last by Mr. Roy Stuart, an Australian hiker. Mr. Stuart gave an interesting as well as educational address on the geographical survey of Australia. On account of Mr. Stuart being a native of Australia, more facts were accumulated from his speech than could be obtained from books. A small donation was given him to aid him on his travela. Remonstrate Against Marines General For Haiti Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights League today sent a remembrance to President Harding against his selection of a General of the Marines to make special investigation and report to the president on the situation in Haiti on the ground that, in as much as the marines were those accused by the Haitians of maltreatment of the natives, a general of the marines could scarcely be unbiased. The League asked that the president send two investigators, one of them a civilian to make a joint report. The League also expressed strong disdain for the definition of a white American for the post of Register of the Treasury, which by tacit understanding in the Campaign was assured by the Republican party.

There were large trees and flowers of all colors as far as the eye could search. It was a long day for the boys as they were anxious to set sail and find the treasure sunset, the men who had been sent on shore came back in great disorder, bringing two wounded men. They had been attacked by the savage, and the captain Captain Gosnold gave the command to fire, the Indians had disappeared. Making A Home. The people explored the county near the bay and finally decided to try and make a home in the wilder terrain.

Notes After a hard and trying time, made more difficult by the weather, the campaign of ten days came to an end with the amount far short of what the members had gone out for. A number of the members of the board have pledged themselves to raise a certain amount during the next six months in order that the amount may be raised in full. They went out for $25,000, but to date the following amounts have been solicited: Cash $384.80, pledges $1,005.25, making a total of $1,380.05. It is hoped that a number of those who made small contributions will respond when called upon by the committee, who will continue to solicit.

COLORED VETERANS FORM NATIONAL ORGANIZATION Ex-Service Men Get Together TO Help Suffering And Disabled Comrades Secure Proper Treatment. (Special to the Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C.—"Lest they forget" was the slogan of a determined group grounded here at the Nation's capital this week to form a national organization of Negro veterans of the World War. Enlisted men and ex-officers mingled freely in a real spirit of camaradeship which bespoke success for the movement. One of the first motions to be adopted was the abolition of rank, thereby eliminating all of the officers, petty, lesbian that might come as the result of past military distinctions. "The organization," which is to be known as the Negro American Veterans of the World War is the inevitabls outgrowth of the discrimination against the Negro veteran," said Dr. T. E. Jones, former captain in the Medical Corps and a wearer of the Distinguished Service Cross, "especially has this discrimination been treated for the treatment of suffering and disabled men. Denied admission into the hospitals of the South, thousands of these veterans, suffering from tuberculosis and mental disorders are languishing in houses to which they are being sent for treatment because the hospitals will not take Negroes. Hundreds of men with active tuberculosis are being inadequately caned for in their lives of their own people, rather than be sent into the miserable holes that are being improvised for them. Even worse than this is the condition of still other thousands of needy veterans, who are not but who are intimidated from making claims for government relief. Urged Acceptance Of Ford's Offer (By The Associated Negro Press) Hampton, Va.-A telegram urging acceptance of Henry Ford's offer for purchase and lease of the Muscle Shonls project was sent to Secretary of War Weeks by the Board of Trustees of Hampton Institute, which held midwinter meeting here.

Officials of the War Finance Corporation have asked the inquiry to ascertain to what extent the bankers or other borrowers of Government funds may have employed them to hold up the farmers or other agriculturalists in usurious money in connection with operations in the South where financing farm operations in many cases takes most of the proceeds.

NOTES The Young Men's Bible Class held a most interesting meeting Sunday evening at 7 p.m. The course this winter is a book by Jeremiah W. Jenks, "The Social Significance of the Teachings of Jesus."

Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services. FIRST UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. On last Sabbath, all members and visitors at the Y, P. C.

The last was a violin solo of that tune called "Calvary" by Master Lovette Johnson.

Well, I'm not going to say why folks, for fear my own "Sweetie" may get jealous. But let's ask the colored women and girls why it is they don't demand that the men improve their hair more than they do. Think of it, the men folks go looking around for the pretty "Browns" with straight hair, while they have hair that is—well just look at some of them now.

Then men, why not play fair to the women and girls and improve your hair with Brown Bros. Hair Straightener and Refiner? Will make your hair look naturally straight in 5 to 8 minutes. You won't have to go through all the fuss and muss with a lot of greasy stuff and old, hot irons like the women folks have to do either. Just comb your hair with Brown Bros.

One noteworthy feature of the 1922 schedule is that arrangements are being completed to bring Morehouse College of Atlanta, Ga., the champions of that part of the country for a number of years to Norfolk for a game November 4th. Several cities were considered for the game but Union having a large number of Alumni at Norfolk decided to stage the contest in that city. Should Norfolk be fortunate enough to secure the Inter-sectional game the city would have the opportunity of witnessing what should be the most contested battle of the season. Coach Martin, of Union will visit Norfolk Friday and Saturday of this week in the interest of completing arrangements for the football game, as well as securing dates for the initial appearance of the Univer- Additional Po Clear Titles To Truxtun Property No one who actually knows of the housing conditions in Truxtun, its well lighted streets, its well built roadways and sidewalks, can truthfully say that Truxtun is inferior in any place where Negroes live in Tidewater.

Jackson ROANOKE On Friday, Feb. 9th, Harrison High met the Danville Big Five on the City Auditorium court and romped away from them to a tune of 37-13. This makes the second game that Harrison has won from Danville this season, incidentally Harrison has played six games thus far this season and won 5. In the game Thursday 9th, the "Hi" girls played a fast and snappy game during the boys' intermission. The girls were known as Blues and Whites. The Whites representing the High Varsity. The second ended 14-3 in favor of the Varsity. Line up for the High Girls: Whites, Mashie Eggleston, R. F. Portsmouth outside of Truxton, that many of Truxton's good citizens have now and then lost heart. It is interesting, however, to know that the best informed citizens of Truxton have never questioned the governments right to give clear titles after they signed contracts to purchase, and that minds of this class of people before they decided to become a party to the contract of purchase. Since the signing of contracts many searches of title to the nine acre plat upon which Truxton is built have revealed the same thing, viz, that Truxton is owned by the United States government. The plat heaving been purchased originally, now. If this be true, and legal investigation shows that it is, why should one think the government criminal? Whose business is it to furnish the criminal? There is absolutely no ground to the runner of not receiving deeds or clear title to the Truxton property. The property has already pieces of Truxton property has already been secured and recorded in court, and as this one was obtained others may be. HERE FOR A H REASONABLE PORTTAKER H.

Colonel Charles Young Memorial Services Lambda Chapter of the Omega Phi Psi and the local chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha and Phi Beta Sigma fraternities joined hands at St. John's A. M. E. church Sunday, February 12, and covered themselves with shining and illustrious laurels when in classic Chesterfield danner and friendly rivalry they sought to outdo each other in paying tribute to our late and lamented Col. Chas. Young. Among Greek leagues fraternities in the country as "Chas. Young Memorial Day" and was fittingly observed by appropriate exercises in practically every large city in the country. Although hastily arranged the program and its rendition was not lacking in that high toned literary finesse that competent and scrutinizing critics have become accustomed to expect from the works of the great bore of these fraternities. The program was altogether worthy of, and in keeping with the lofty ideals that so consistently characterized the life and works of our own, "Sir Galaah." It was snappy and full of jest, albeit sufficiently eulogistic to impress one that sincerely reverence and respect the works of the great one who owes, but is no more. Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, Worthy Basileus, of Lambda Chapter, Omega Phi Psi, under whose auspices the exercises were held, acted as modus verbi, and the drolp manner in which he arranged his members and the faultless rendition by those who appeared combined to make the affair one that is rarely caucasian and never excelled, and who long remembered by all who witnessed it. vet" to tell you how your Black and Soap have improved was full of pimples, and now my skin is like velvet, what I used."—Mary F. a bright, velvety skin, be -if you will use this won- teatment. rice, hands, neck and arms father of Black and White apply, according to direc- tive Ointment.

He referred to several exploits of the great soldier during his army career in which he had covered himself, with everlasting honor and trust. He spoke of the countrymen countrymen everywhere. Dr. S.

Mr. W. J. Scott read excerpts from the life and career of the Colonel, which were published in the February number of the Crisis under the caption, "Charles Young." These told of his great greatness and by logical deduction proved him a general of the British army, by Mias Penonis Hamlin and one by Mr. G. C. Anderson lent added zest and sublimity to the program and were much enjoyed. Other musical numbers were several selections by Omega instrumental trio under the direction of Prof. W. J. Kemp, the Southland Sextette under the direction of Maarten Monkman and the female quartet. The attendance was not large but representative and appreciative, and had it not been for inclement weather and the short time the committee had to arrange for it, it is a safe conjecture that an overflowing audience would have witnessed the program. Dr. M. E. Davis encouraged the occasion and dismissed the meeting in his usual impressive manner. A.

Anthony Aery) Tuskegee, Ala.—The Tuskegee Nuro Conference has become a national event. It was held in James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., director of William and Mary College and president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards. Doctor Dillard paid a warm tribute to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington in his address to the white and colored welfare workers who had remained at Tuskegee Institute after the big Farmers' Conference, at which co-operative marketing and the improvement of rural life had been thoroughly discussed. The welfare workers had remained to make plans for bringing into closer relationship the open-country and the better-organized town and city units, with a view to helping the people on the land-acquire property, improve their homes, educate their rural school, provide their rural school, and churches, reduce their death rate, and become happier, better men and women. Living together, working together, and serving together in good-will has been the expressed and implied policy of the Tuskegee Negro Conference colored people and to white people of Alabama, the South, and the Nation. Effects of B. T. Washington's Policy. That Doctor Washington's policy of interest in and good-will has helped thousands upon thousands of Southern people, both white and colored, to win their economic independence is reflected in the recent census returns, and especially in the thousand rural Negroes from thirteen Southern States who recently made their pilgrimage to Tuskegee. What Booker T. Washington's genius developed to successfully through work, Dr. Robert R. Moton, his successor, has effectively nationalized. Doctor Moton has made the Tuskegee Negro Conference a most useful agency for developing the present rapid movement to racial social co-operation and good-will. Just as Doctor Washington nationalized the Negro Health Week, which the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, under the leadership of Doctor Moton, had first organized, so, in 1981, he co-operation with the wide-awake leaders in many local, State and national organizations, has carried the Tuskegee program of community service to all parts of the United States where there are appreciable numbers of students. National Interest in Tuskegee. Toward Tuskegee there are directed today many lines of interest. The men and women who are deeply interested in improving Negro farming, teaching, and Negro education are receiving from Doctor Moton and his associates definite suggestions for constructive and forward-looking programs, as well as special co-operation in reaching white and colored citizens with important information on race-relatedities. The range of Tuskogee's vital interest in the present program of interracial co-operation was indicated by the following partial list of organizations which sent some of their executive officers and representatives to attend the recent Tuskogee Negro Conference with writers of the Tuskogee Institute staff in a movement to help Negroes improve themselves.
