STATE SENATE FOR COMPULSORY EDUCATION BERT WILLIAMS, WORLD-FAMOUS COMEDIAN, DEAD FIRST IN LIVE NEWS ALL THE TIME VOL. XXII. NO. 10 STATE MAPP AND GOOLRICK SPOKESMEN Debate on Compulsory Education Bill In Senate Develops Strong Sentiment In Favor Of Education Of All Citizens. WOULD REQUIRE FULL ATTENDANCE (Specialt to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va.-Debate on the compulsory education bill, which was passed by the Senate on the night of March 2nd developed the pleasing information that public education in general is growing more popular in Virginia, and that the law-makers of the Old Dominion are broadening in their views as to Negro education. The fact that the bill to make school attendance compulsory received strong opposition from certain senators on the grounds that Negroes would benefit by the law, brought from Senator Goorick, sponsor for the bill, a strong attack upon the position of those who opposed the bill on the ground that it would educate the Negro children to a major earning the if such a position were right Virginia ought not to have any public schools simply on the ground that blacks as well as white would be educated. Principal Opposition The principal opponents of the bill were Senator Epes and other Senators from the so-called "black belt" of Virginia. These Senators fought the measure on the ground that it would force them to spend their money on the education of Negro children which they much preferred to spend on white children. Senator Epes insisted that local conditions in his and other sections of the State made the bill a great menace, and fought hard for local option clauses. Senator Gravatt answered Senator Epes by stating that local conditions must occasionally be sacrificed for the good of the cause of education in Virginia, and that the advocates of the measure looked at the matter from a State-wide angle. Senator Mapp's Plea. Senator Mapp entered a strong plea for the bill and also a defense for Virginia Negroes. He stated that reasons of justice and gratitude urged Virginians to give their Negroes an education. He referred to the good class of Negroes in Virginia, and gave examples of their good conduct, not only recently, but dating as far back as the Civil War and before It is an historical and inevitable regula, he said; that unless we raise up the Negroes in educational matters, they will pull us down. He urged the legislators to wipe out racial prejudice in education, stating that lack of education is a great draw back to both races. The people of Virginia he said, want an law, and this legislation can take more constructive or commandable step than the passage of such an act. The Senate today voted to hold three sessions each day from today forward. This action means that the Senators will work on the floor of the House at least nine hours a day, and perhaps much longer. The night sessions will be devoted to local bills and bills to which there are not more than five objections. NORFOLK COLORED MAN KILLED NEAR GARGATHA Accomat, Va.-Daniel Dillard, colored, of Norfork, employed on the new stone road near Gargatha, was fatally injured when he fell under a trailer attached to a truck, when he attempted to alight from the machine.

Dillard was employed by the Royer Forguson Company, and while riding on the trailer made an attempt to get off at the camp of the company, when he fell beneath the wheels. He was 65 years old.

Norfolk Journal and Guide 1 THE LATE BERT WILLIAMS PERFORMER VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA Stricken On Stage In Detroit. Author of and Leading Character In Many Plays. Enjoyed World-Wide Fame. Bert Williams, America's most famous comedian, died at his home, No. 2309 Seventh Avenue, New York City, last Saturday night following a brief illness from pneumonia. The famous actor, whose droll songs and monologues have made his name known throughout the English speaking world in the last thirty years, had been brought from Detroit after suffering an attack of pneumonia while on tour in his play, "Under the Bamboo Tree." With Mr. Williams when he died were his wife, Mrs. Lottie Williams, and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Williams, both of whom had returned with him from the West. After a collapse on the stage of the theatre in Detroit last Monday, physicians announced the only hope for his life lay in a speedy blood transfusion operation. Dr. H. C. De V. Cornwell performed the operation on Tuesday. William Voederey, a business partner of the actor, gave his blood. The response was inadequate, and Thursday hope for saving his life was abandoned. HIS STAGE CAREER Egbert Austin (Bert) Williams, was born in New Providence, Nassau, in the British Bahama Islands, forty-five years ago. When he was two years old his parents came to New York, and later moved to Riverside, California, where Bert graduated from the high school. His parents then sent him to San Francisco, with the intention of educating him for a civil engineer, but young Williams' wonderful native talent attracted stage people and he responded to the lure, getting his first experience as an actress in the mining towns of Californië. It is probable that no other Negro performer of the stage attained so high a standing as Williams. Since entering upon stage work as a boy he had appeared in Negro and white companies alike, in many of the regular Broadway productions, including the Ziegfeld "Follies" and "Midnight Frolic," his name being "featured" among the principal members of the casts. It was as a variety performer and strolling singer that Williams, son of a poor Negro family of farmers, first found his ability to mimic and sing. He was brought to New York at an early age, and was quickly engaged by theatrical producers who, in turn, found his talent in the stage and white troupes. His first real success here came in the team of Williams and Walker, a combination that existed for more than fifteen years. Walker died in 1011. It is likely that the pinnacle of his success came in 1910 and 1911 when Bert Williams had leading comedy parts in the Ziegfeld productions at the New York City theater last year at the Winter Garden in the Shuberts' "Broadway Brevities." EARNED BIG PAY Williams not only commanded a large salary on the stage but received a big income as royalties from his phonograph records. Last year he received in royalties $16,000.00 in two months and a writer in the American magazine estimated his yearly earnings at $100,000.00. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY. MARCH 11, 1922 Tomorrow Is Col. Charles Young National Memorial Day "It is a pleasure, which indeed I count a duty as well, to testify my very high opinion and regard for Colonel Young. A graduate of the West Point "It is a pleasure, which in testify my very high opinion A graduate of the West Point Academy, he spent his life in the army, serving with real distinction. My recollection is that although he had been retired some time before the United States entered the World War, he promptly tendered his services and was greatly distressed because they were declined because of his age and physical condition. Colonel Young was a credit to the service and distinguished honor to the race from which he came; a race that in the World War carried its full part and acquitted itself with utmost credit. It is highly fitting that you and your associates should pay him a tribute of respect, and affection. Very sincerely, (Signed) WA RACE WOMEN MAKE GOOD IN INDUSTRY Women's Bureau Of United States Department of Labor Gives Out Interesting Review Of Subject. EXTENSIVE SURVEY JUST COMPLETED (Special to Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C. "We wouldn't continue to employ Negro women if their production was not satisfactory." This is the tenor of remarks made by employers of Negro women to agents of the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, who set out to discover the conditions under which Negro women were working in industry. Four-fifths of the employers of Negro women whose establishments were investigated by the Women's Bureau expressed this idea and said that Negro women in industry had no faults which were not common to all other labor. About 90 per cent of the employers interviewed said they expected to continue to employ Negro women, and many of them stated that there was no difference in the quantity and quality of the product of their Negro and white women employees and that the Negro women caused no greater less of material in the processes of production. Of 63 managers who reported on the subject of punctuality, 54 found no difference in the punctuality of the two groups. The quality of the workers considered that labor turnover was about equal for the two races. What complaints were made about Negro women as industrial workers can be accounted for, the Women's Bureau thinks, by lack of industrial experience and routine working habits among these women. Labor turnover and unreliability as to attendance the Negro women themselves often attributed to undesirable conditions on a job which had been taken merely to tide over until something better could be found. Methods of employment as well as working conditions were also investigated and it was found that in some establishments Negro women are working sid by side with white women and their work is quite satisfactory. But in most instances Negro women are separated from other working groups, and are very apt to be assigned to the most unpleasant work in the most uncomfortable surroundings. For instance, in the manufacture of food—meat products, candy, and canned and crystallized fruits—there were individual establishments in which Negro women were employed on all operations; but two-thirds of the establishments drew a sharp line between the occupations of Negroes and white women, and opportunity in the more desirable work was denied to Negro women. Work in abattoirs and stockyards was a good illustration of the situation. In such establishments Negro women were barred from more desirable work of canning and wrapping meat and its by-products, and were usually employed as a slaughter, aliphage, the building where giant odors filled the air and where marked variations in temperature and humidity made the surroundings hazardous to health. Such unequal working conditions, and sometimes unequal pay for the same work on-else a wide divergence in the wage scale are to a large extent the result of the (Continued on Page. 5) in realiation between the tenenwas house of ion. it to shed which the part outfit-ssso-triation.

Washington, D. C.—Professor E. C. Williams, Librarian of Howard University, calls attention to the wealth of information relating to the Negro people contained in what is probably the best collection of Negro Americana in the United States. The collection is a part of the Howard University Library and consists of books bought by Howard University during the last fifty odd years, books given by various friends from time to time, the large Moorland Collection, and the Lewis Tappan Collection. The group consists of more than two thousand volumes. Professor Williams plans to prepare an interesting series of articles concerning the books in the collection to be published from time to time. FAIL TO BRING BULLOCK BACK FROM CANADA North Carolina Abandons Attempt To Extradite Colored Man Charged With Inciting Race Trouble Last Summer. FLED TO ESCAPE BEING LYNCHED Washington, D. C.—Matthew Bullock, who ran away from Norlina, N. C., and took refuge in Canada last summer when a race riot occurred in the little North Carolina town, will not have to return there to stand trial for his life. The North Carolina authorities, after exhausting diplomatic channels to obtain Bullock's return from Canada, refused to meet the demands of the Ontario judge that witnesses be sent there to prove the charges against the young colored man. County Judge Snider last Friday released Bullock, North Carolina having refused to send witnesses to Canada to testify in extradition proceedings. The judge ruled when Bullock was re-arrested two weeks ago that witnesses must be produced by North Carolina to establish a prima facie case against the man. Governor Morrison of North Carolina refused to send witnesses here and the judge held that affidavits submitted by the United States consul were not sufficient proof of the prisoner's guilt. After Bullock was released a portrait of him wrapped in the British flag was taken by a group of his Canadian friends and he left Hamilton for parts unknown.

Editorial Inspired By Dyer Bill and Bullock Case. WONT DEPRIVE HAITI OF INDEPENDENCE General Russell Says The Government Wants To Improve Conditions There. (The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.-Brigadier General John H. Russell, who becomes High Commissioner in Haiti, granted an interview to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, in which he declared: "It is our purpose to take no portion of independence from Haiti, but to sympathetically suggest methods by which our government may be helpful in improving conditions there." General Russell is a man past fifty, with a high forehead, a full growth of gray hair, and a smooth face. He is easy to talk with and seems perfectly frank. General Russell is a native of California, and a graduate of Annapolis, he has spent most of his time as a marine officer in foreign lands, including China. The General is married and has a married daughter living in the far East. BULLARD PRAISES NEGRO IN WAR (Special to Journal & Guide) Tuskegee, Ala.-On a recent visit to Tuskegee Institute, General Bullard who is a native Alabama, spoke as follows: I had the good fortune to command the 3rd Alabama Regiment in '98, which composed of armed soldiers. We did go out of the state, but our reputation went. I have commanded three regiments of my own race, but not one of them contributed to me as the Third Alabama. We had a hard time at Aniston but those men proved their discipline down to the very limit. I commanded colored troops again in France. They contributed greatly to the pushing of things over there—very greatly. "I was with two of the Negro graduates of the Military Academy at West Point. Alexander was my friend. I admired him. He had that genuine independence that keeps the world from happening to him and happened on the right or left. Colonel Charles Young, who died recently had that same genuine independence and he held up the dignity of his rank wherever he went." HARDING SAYS HIS RECORD TALKS Washington, D. C.—President Harding spent March 4th, his first anniversary in the White House, hard at work. Asked for a statement on the year's work, President Harding said: "The record of the Administration will speak for itself. It would be a poor Administration that required the Executive to speak for it." The President has shaken hands with 150,000 persons in his first year in office, White House, attaches estimate. (The Associated Negro Press) Pittsburgh, Pa. — In a competitive examination with the best stenographers of Pittsburgh, Mr. Beatrice H. Bayless, wife of William P. Bayless, made the highest grade and was appointed stenographer to the Mayor of Pittsburgh. It is said the Mayor William A. Magee is the first Mayor of the country to honor women of the race by appointing them to clerical positions. Mrs. Bayless is a graduate of the commercial department of the famous Fifth Avenue High School of Pittsburgh and also of Carnegie Institute of Technology. She was stenographer to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington for the University and was a historian to Atty Robt. T. Vann, Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier for four years. Washington, D. C.—An editorial which appeared in the Greensboro, (N. C.) Daily News on February 28th, 1922, forms the basis of charges against Senator Lee S. Overman of North Carolina, which will be submitted to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Senator Overman is a member of this committee and, it is said, is bitterly opposed to the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, which is before the committee for consideration. CHARGES SENATOR WATCHED LYNCHING It is alleged that Senator Overman "looked interestedly on" during the lynching of three Negroes taken from the Rowan county jail in North Carolina. The newspaper editorial, which forms the basis of the charges is as follows: "Lynchings take place in North Carolina, except in the very rarest instances, whenever and wherever a mob has sufficient leadership with it to undertake them. And Governor Morrison knows it. And the trash and off-scourings of humanity which make up the personnel of these villainous murder-gangs must often are neither friends nor relatives 'of the outraged persons,' and Governor Morrison knows that. What 'friends or relatives' either of the 'outraged persons' or of his excellency, who speaks so knowingly of mob habits, broke into that Charlotte Hospital and lynched that wounded Negro? He doesn't know nor does anybody else. What friends and relatives of the Lylerly broke into Rowan jail while the Long is there with a governor's home commissioner, spied a court, took six Negroes from the jail, lynched three, and without interest enough to wear masks, save for the brute faces of the several executioners, and got away with it while Judge Long, Congressman Hammer, Congressman Klutt, and United States Senator Overman, Sheriff Julian, 13 special deputies and the Rowan Rifles looked interestedly on?" Sheriff Indicted (The Associated Negro Press) Texarkana, Tex.-Deputy Sheriff W. T. Jordan was arrested today following indictment for murder by the Bowie County grand jury in connection with the killing of a Norman, a colored man found shot twice and one half miles from here recently. Jordan voluntarily surger his arrest had been issued. He was later released under $3,000 bond. On February 11, Jordan went to Ashdown, Ark., to bring Norman to Texarkana. That night Jordan reported to Sheriff G. A. Richardson and Dist. Attorney Wheeler, masked men had taken the Negro from him. Next morning Norman's body, containing a country road. It was found on a country road. In Negro attempted to defend himself and was killed. The circumstances were suspicious enough to cause Jordan's arrest. Fill in this blank and mail today.

BRING THE BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING HERE We should all get behind the invitation to the National Negro Business League, extended by the Colored Chamber of Commerce of Norfolk and citizens of surrounding centers of large population and wealth, that its twenty-third annual meeting be held in Norfolk. It will exercise a very great educative influence to have the meeting held here. We shall impart the Tidewater business spirit to the members and we shall receive from them the inspiration which comes of rubbing shoulders and personal experience together. We have much to learn of them and they have some what to learn of us. The National Negro Business League has been a very great inspiration in the business hopes of the race. It has kept alive and enthused the business spirit among us until it has become nation wide in life and enthusiasm. OUR BANK CONSOLIDATION MAKES FOR STRENGTH The consolidation of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company and the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company of Norfolk, under the title of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, is not only one of the largest mergers of the kind in the history of Norfolk, but of the country, as far as Afro-Americans are concerned. It gives the race in this splendid industrial continent a bank with resources of $1,200,000 and a working official body of the most experienced and dependable financiers of the race. The consolidation makes the Metropolitan the strongest bank the race has in the country. The Afro-Americans of Norfolk are justified in taking pardonable pride in their financial institutions. They are the outgrowth of the industry and thrift of the masses of the people and the wideawake business men of them who are forging ahead with the persistent insistence that alone makes for growth that fails not, because built up by small beginnings that require ability and courage for success. It is the strong pull and the steady pull that brings success. CHEAP SOUTHERN COTTON AND CHEAP SOUTHERN LABOR Dr. Washington used to say that the white man can't keep the black man down without keeping the white man down also. In a recent letter to the New Orleans Cotton Conference, Mr. Clarence Poe, of the Progressive Farmer had the following to say on "Cheap Labor Means Cheap Cotton," which will interest the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE. "The great hope and ambition of my life is to help develop a splendid and worthy white civilization in the rural South. But I am also most profoundly convinced that, as you say, 'We have got to lift the Negro up or he will pull us down.' As I said in The Progressive Farmer recently: And just so long as we imagine that we can have compulsory attendance for white children, without compulsory attendance for Negro children, we are going to pay the penalty in lower prices for cotton and tobacco. Suppose Negro children are kept out of school to help make an overproduction that forces down prices. Then because of the very fact that prices are so low, white parents begin to say, 'Well at present prices I can't make enough to pay my debts unless I take my children out of school so as to help me make a bigger crop—and prices go down lower still.' Suppose the cheap Negro labor of the South gets a common school education. When it does, it learns about the better wages offered in cities, mines, railroads, shops. More of it goes there. The result is to raise wages for the Negroes who stay behind in the South—and just in proportion as Negro wages increase, just in proportion are white wages increased. And just as wages increase, just so will cotton prices increase. And just in proportion as wages and prices increase, just in that proportion will wealth increase, bank deposits increase, merchandist patronage increase—and so on and so on. "Cheap labor means cheap cotton"—and cheap cotton means bad business for the whole South. Mr. Poe will have more success in accomplishing the great hope of his life if he will devote his splendid talents and opportunities to "making a splendid and worthy civilization in the rural South," whose population is composed of many race groups and colors speaking the same language, professing the same religion, and producing and consuming the like sort of things, and all whom love their country with the like sort of love. THE SKY-LINE IN FISTIANA Very soon after Mr. Tex Rickard, the prize-ring promotor, who did not believe in mixed bouts and did more than any other person in the country to tighten the color line in Fiftiethia, got himself indicted by a New York grand jury for criminal relations with several children under the ages of fifteen years, Mr. Jack Dempsey and his managers announced that they were willing to take on a match with Harry Wills or any other boxer, if there was a public demand that he do so. Mr. Harry, Wills and Mr. Kid Norfolk clashed at the Madison Square Garden, in New York, last week, and Mr. Kid was floored for the count in the second round. A stiff upper cut in the clinch did it. Both these fighters are black. They have a great deal of fame, after its kind. It was generally understood that if Wills bested Norfolk there would stand nothing between him and Dempsey except the proper purse. Governor Edwards of New Jersey, who is a Democrat, was at the ringside and declared after the bout that he would allow Dempsey and Wills to fight in the big arena, in Jersey City, where Dempsey put the quietus upon Georges Carpentier, the splendid French fighter. So, then, we have got on the skyline of normalcy in the Fight game once more, which is as it should be if prize-fighting is to be tolerated at all, and we should expect a go between. Wills and Dempsey before next Thanksgiving, if no one should expect the bottom to stop heavens when they do come together. By S. J. C. A bad temper thaws readily in a good atmosphere.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY SERVED MANY TERMS The announced retirement of Congressman Cannon, of Illinois, commonly called "Uncle Joe" Cannon, at the end of his term will remove one of the oldest and most picturesque figures from public life. He has been in Congress more than forty years and was twice elected speaker and was known as the watchdog of the treasury. May his private life be peaceful. He deserves the rest. —East Tennessee News. The school population of Connecticut is 355,295, a gain of 10,000 having been made during the past year. In 1000 Asia had 80,000 miles of railways. Black and white have been mixing it without such a catastrophe since creation's dawn and before the stars sang together in the morning. PROPER APPROACH TO THE PRESIDENT All readers of the Bible are familiar with the fact that Moses the law-giver of Israel had an impediment in his speech, perhaps stuttered, and that Aaron his brother was designated to speak for him; they are also familiar with the fact that Balaam lost his speech, when riding in the way, and the Lord opened the mouth of the ass on which he rode, which spoke for him, rebuking him for blindness and cruelty. It has seemed to us that the Afro-American people, in their political misfortunes, have been unable of late years to speak for themselves, and have therefore had a lot of shortsighted and emotional persons, with the viewpoint but lacking the proper poise, to speak for them. There never was a time when this seemed to be more so than now, when the atmosphere is dithered by political voices more or less impregnated with immaturity and hysteria. We have received a copy of an open letter to the President, entitled, "The Mockery of Harding," by J. Finley Wilson, president of the National Negro Press Association and editor of the Washington Eagle. The title of the pamphlet indicates the familiar approach to the President which characterizes it and makes it valuable. The signature is that of Wilson but the voice is that of some one else. The President is addressed throughout as "Warren Harding," while the pamphlet is addressed "To the President of the United States." We submit that this is not the proper approach to the President of the United States. We do not need to crawl upon our stomachs in approaching him, but we do need to stand erect and approach him as the first citizen of the country, with the dignity of approach with which he always approaches his fellow-citizens. He can't afford to be undignified; no citizen in approaching him can afford to be. The subject matter of the pamphlet deals with the lynching question, and the necessity for adequate power and willingness to suppress it on the part of the Federal Government, while incidental reference is made to the color line in Republican politics, President Harding being the first President who has drawn it, saying bluntly that he was going to do it, and is doing it. None of us like that sort of thing, but we are not going to better matters a little bit by approaching the President, or the Republican party, or Congress, in a flippant, familiar bull-dosing manner. WELL MERITED HONOR In the election of Mr. O. L. Shackelford by the legislature on Wednesday last, the people of Norfolk are to be congratulated. No finer type of public official than he could be found. A man with fine ability, fair and honest, he has made an enviable reputation since he came here, a young country lawyer from Warsaw, Virginia, his native home. Since he has been here both as a practitioner and later as Commonwealth Attorney, he has, by his absolute fairness won a host of friends. It has been truly said of him that he was "absolutely his own boss." Clean as a hound's tooth, he has never truckled to anything questionable in politics. No man who ever held his position which he is about to relinquish to assume the judicial robe, has been freer and unhampered than he. Absolutely fearless, he has followed the strict lines of ethics that has won the admiration of every one. Mr. Shackelford assumes the Bench with the Bar of Norfolk and the citizens at his back, knowing that he will discharge his new honors with dignity, and fairness that will be not only an honor to himself, but to the city at large. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE extends congratulations. BRIEFS AND SPICES A Chicago Judge sentenced a man to take his wife to a movie every Saturday night and to church every Sunday morning, or pay a fine of $250.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON "The Lynching Bee and Other Poems." By William Ellery Leonard. Published by B. W. Huebsh, Inc., New York. Price with postage, $1.60. William Ellery Leonard, the author of this-volume, is a colored college professor now at the University of Wisconsin, a man of wide education and learning. He has translated Lucretius and Beowolf, has written upon Socrates and Shakespeare and many other great figures in literature. He has published a number of volumes of his own poetry. A man familiar with European thought as well as with that of England and his own-country, is interesting to note, that in this his as book, he shags. And most deny him the crime of lynching. And every time a man of his calibre turns upon his own race and shows it is in its basest aspect, we need to note and give thanks. For after all it is only when a race criticises itself that much good comes of the criticism. "The Lynching Bee" appeared first in the Nation and has now become the title poem for a volume of verse. It takes its place among twenty pieces each voicing some human wrong. They are in five groups. The first, "By Fire and Rope," contains "The Lynching Bee," "Lee Frank," and "A Wr. Movie," describing the baiting of aerman-American woman. The second, "By Court and Decree" contains "Toooney, Toooney," "Deb and others." And the third three sections are grim war pictures of the sufferings alike of the solider and the conscientious objector. The whole volume portrays a passionate resentment against wrong, expressed with the artistry of the poet. Harding blunt. None of bettent, or familiar. I reread the "Lynching Bee" last night and did not enjoy my dreams. It is an extraordinary poem, intensely modern, and yet lyrical in its expression. Here is no free verse enthusiast pouring out cadences, but a skilled whimster, exquisitely precise in his use of words, who yet knows how to tell a story in verse that has more power to stir our vision than any moving picture. Nothing thrown on a screen could be more realistic or more full of suspense. "Honk," to the automobiles. "Honk, honk!" "They stop—they jerk—they chug—they back." And in a monstrous ring they park. With ghostly cones converging from the dark. Under a central tree all split and black. Whose limbs and leaves are covered out of sight. In the eternity of night." Then they bring their victim, "A bandy-legged nigger, Quite jerky, but all silent down inside." The poet suggests that perhaps they do not mean to lynch the boy after all. Perhaps they will just play with him, and he recites all the buffoonery that the white man loves to show off in the black, the wagging of ears, the wrinkling of scalp, the butting of a thick skull against a tree trunk. "Not so, they pay a chain out, link by link." Then they tie him against a tree, stripped, and smear him with hot tar. And again you are held in suspense with the question that perhaps they have a bag or two of feathers, and mean only to tar and feather him? But no. And at last comes the mother, the mother of the dead child, who is to light the match. She looks into the black face!

"I can't read such a poem," many people say. And this is the Poet's answer, the answer that we all like to make when we are confronted with terrible things that we should heed. "You cringe and shrink. It makes your eyes in their sockets ache. Or your letters, but what? It all a midnight dream, and no one is awake; As in the morning, with the cobolain.

Great Britain's termination of, its protectorate over Egypt suggests the Empire's use of its head rather than of its heart. While the grant of virtual independence evidences change of attitude from intolerant to liberal, the manifest reluctance with which it was made indicates that the British government is making a virtue of necessity rather than a necessity of virtue. Unquestionably Great Britain nursed imperialistic designs on Egypt, as in itself an object of desire, and as part and parcel of imperial expansion on a gigantic scale. This was apparent as far back as 1882, when it first commenced operations on the Nile. From that time down to a comparatively recent date, it unmistakably aimed at making that country an integer part of the British Empire—as the aim manifestly became intensified when it thought it saw in the African and Western Asiatic territory that the war was delivered into its hands the makings of mid-world empire stretching from the Cape of Good Hope to the eastern confines of India. But this great dream gives no promise of coming true—at least not for a long time—and Egypt's insurgency has made it increasingly difficult to keep that nation within the British fold, so, the British government having reached the conclusion that the profits to be derived from Egypt's absorption would be far outweighed by losses that would be incurred by continued pursuit of domineering policy has wisely decided to turn that country loose. The problem of Egypt involved not gent forces would call for the maintenance of large garrisons at heavy cost and the British government, by thus casting itself in the role of oppressor, would always be subject to attack. The security and protection sought can be much more easily and inexpensively gained by assisting Egypt to establish an effective independent government.—Virginian Pilot.

Having renounced imperial designs on that country it remained for the British government to work out a solution that would be consistent with self-protection. It could not afford to grant Egypt independence without safeguarding that great Imperial artery of the empire, the Suez Canal, and without guarantees protecting British investments and foreign interests in Egypt—for the protection of these last is an unescapable obligation of the British government that was assumed by its assumption of control. To the end that such safeguards may be established, the withdrawal of the British protectorate is accompanied by the requirement that the Egyptian government enact legislation adequately protecting British interests, and by reserving to the British government the right to preserve the security of the canal, to defend Egypt against foreign aggression, and to protect minorities and foreign interests in that country. Pending agreement on the program to be worked out, Egypt will remain in statu quo. Taking these requirements and reservations as the measure of the British government's purpose, it would appear that it has chosen the best way that was open to secure its attainment. The rise of nationalism in Egypt has inflamed large elements of the population to a dangerous pitch. While Great Britain could unquestionably crush revolt, to have done so would have been to store up big trouble in the future--for insur- UNTIL APRIL 1st, 1922 MARCH 11. 1922. School Activities J. C. PRICE SCHOOL NOTES We are glad to see all our faculty back at their posts of duty. We regret very much to have one of our teachers leave us after having been with us so long. Now that the weather is favorable the little pupils of the lower grades are making a good showing in their attendance. The musical selections by Jamie Chambliss and Louise Dokes, were very much enjoyed by the members of the Ideal Literary Society. The biography of James Russell Lawell, by Mary Gregory of the 7-A Grade, was one of the best performances in the Ideal Literary Society on March 3rd. Elizabeth Suead and Vivian Southall, also deserve special mention for creditable recitations. The 5-B Grade has been transferred to the John T. West school, and the 4-A Grade has been placed on full time. This will enable the class to get in more time which means that better results are expected.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN For Our Wide Awake Boys And Girls QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Please tell me how to teach my little boy the multiplication tables, he simply will not learn them. I have tried all I know how. —A MOTHER. "Pity ti's but true" the tables must be learned and we wrote the boy whose mind refuses to accept them. Stop scolding and fretting, take one table at a time and make problems using this table as the multiplier. For instance, give him 20 problems all multiplied by the same number. Give him this kind of drill until each table is mastered separately. Do not give up. Patience conquers all things. I am a stranger here and would like to meet some really nice young girls. —LONESOME BOY. Dear Boy. The Sunday school and Y. M. C. A., are the places for you. There you will meet a bunch of fine fellows and most boys have sisters. Dear Mrs. Dixon—I am a young husband out of work. My wife has good work and is willing to do what she can until I can secure employment, care of me and refuses to let us remain in her home. I am nonplussed as I am willing to work. What can I do in the face of such odds. —DISCOURAGED “Where there is a way.” The first thing to do is find a place to go if only one room. If your wife refuses to leave home no criticize her as you have nothing to offer. Convince one of your willingness to work and do something, then she sees you and she will go to come to you. Do not go again to her home to live. Make good and draw her to you. I am in sympathy with you and will try to help you get something to do if you send me your address. Mrs. Dixon, give my candid opinion as to a city girl marrying a farmer and going to the farm to live. The young man owns his farm and was raised on it. I am twenty. Be sure you want the man Mabel. The farmer's wife is a hard worked person at best and you must be prepared to weather such things as well water and noon dinners for harvest hands and sun-up breakfasts. If you love him enough all will be well. If not, then don't try. Remember too. Beginning with the last issue in March, we will publish essays by our boys and girls on timely subjects. These essays must not be over 100 words and the name of the writer will be published with the essay. Send essays for the first publication not later than March 31st, and have as your subject.

Should children be influenced as to the church they should join? I wish mine to go to my church but they seem to be inclined to a different course. Most children are unconsciously attached to the church of their parents. If they are not it is best to leave them alone. The sooner we realize that our children are individuals, the better we will understand them. Let the boys and girls serve accustomed to the duties of their own conscience. Your training will show in their choice.

You make up the flour as usual using the clabber for water. Bread made in buttermilk buttermilk and tea or sweet milk make a whole supper for growing children. CHOPS OF VEAL The cheaper chops can be had for 15 cents per pound. Season and flour lay in hot fat and allow to brown on both sides, add spoonful of flour and simmer on the back of stove. They will be very tender when served. WHITE CARBAGE The next time you have white cabbage, try cutting them up fine and steaming quickly in salt and water. Over all pour bacon fat and allow to simmer. Use this as a separate vegetable. SNUFFED PEPPERS Mince all left over meat together, season to taste, add a pinch of onion and parsley. Fill peppers, place in warmer until ready to serve.

There is really a wealth of information, free for the asking, to be bad by writing to Washington and I hope our boys and girls will take advantage of it. Children often play too much and weaken their organs, causing them to easily become breeding places for germs. Play is exercise, and lethargy is dangerous.

Also, the Negro woman has little chance of promotion under such a policy of separation because, in the words of one employer "we can not promote women because we can not afford to separate accommodations for them." These facts are brought out in a report just issued by the Women's Intensive survey of Negro women in industry, including 150 manufacturing establishments of all sorts employing 11,000 Negro women, many of them requiring skilled and careful work. A. & T. COLLEGE Greensboro, N. C.—The Eta Chapter, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity of the Agricultural and Technical College of Greensboro, North Carolina presented Dr. Chas. E.

The selections rendered by Dr. Stewart were well interpreted and the whole program was marked by a simplicity and naturalness which distinguished Dr. Stewart as a true inter- and music program whole was very good and enjoyed by all. The wage situation is a serious one for Negro women, according to figures presented in this report, because they are often the most casual and unstandardized work. As the women said themselves "You never know what wages you are going to get, you just take what the employer says and the Negro woman is the last hired and the first laid off". Her work is often so irregular that her yearly income is Although Negro women are employed in many instances under unsatisfactory conditions of all sorts, there were enough indications of enlightened employment policies to afford grant encouragement as well as support of employers. The words of the manager of a large tobacco factory employing many Negro women are quoted as significant of this enlightened and hopeful attitude. The labor problem in industry is instigated in industry are to be solved by the individual factories adopting a definite and improved labor policy. We are just beginning to work in this direction. A cafeteria and hospital are our best experiments.

DUNBAR PLAYERS IN "THE STORM" Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond To Appear In Great Emotional Play, March 13-20. One of the greatest hits in the past twenty years "The Storm" will be the attraction at the Attucks Theatre all next week by the Dunbar Players. For a SOLID YEAR "The Storm" played at the 48th Street Theatre, New York City. Six months at the Olympic Theatre, Chicago, seven weeks in Brooklyn, New York (which established a record for the latter city) and six weeks at the Manhattan Opera House, New York City. Greatest Success In 20 Years. No matter where "The Storm" has been presented it has created new records for theatre attendance. This play, while a melodrama, is one of the most convincing and human melodramas written and produced in the past decade. The curtain rises on a forest primeval and it is in this beautiful spot that the action of the play takes place. The story tells of a young girl, Manette Fachard, an artist, of the French Canadian, who, because of the death of father and a terrific blizzard—which is one of the big scenic effects of the play—is forced to remain up in cabin in this woods with a rugged Western American and an Englishman. Both profess love for her, but she realizes if she admits love for one the other will kill him. Her problem is to keep these men apart and maintain peace. Fairs develop to such an extent that she realizes sooner or later the storm of emotions in the brushes of men will burst all bounds. She plummets but the forest fire circumvents her. How she solves her problem is best left to the author who has written play tense with thrilling situations, relieved by delightful scenes of bubbling humor. Startling Forest Fire. The forest fire, devised by the author of the play, is the most stupendous and spectacular effect ever attempted in the theatre. And while it is a thriller in every sense of the word, the opening of the last act, showing the devastation of the giant stage forest is equally convincing and realistic.

Wills' Victory Over Kid Norfolk Puts Him In Line To Battle Jack Dempsey Knocked Out Baltimore Man in Second Round of Scheduled Fifteen Round Bout. Harry H. Frazee Offers Dempsey $350,000.00 To Fight Wills, Colored Champion. New York City—Harry Wills knocked out Kid Norfolk, the Negro lightweight champion, in the second round of their bout for a shot at Jack Dempsey, in Madison Square Garden Friday night. The end came so suddenly and whal so strangely that few could summon enough brain force to make 2 plus 2 equal 3. Wills had all the better of his smaller opponent in the first round, but Norfolk went up for the second jointy and smiling. They exchanged light blows to the head and Wills landed one to the body as they fell into a clinch. Then just as the referee stepped forward to pass between them Norfolk suddenly fell over on his back with mouth open and gasping and eyes bulging, from what the referee said was a start right to the chin delivered a great force. Fow saw the blow start and lower saw it land, so many left the big amphitheatre growling and disgusted with what they called a "gift" for Wills. six-day, bicycle rider, and made their impatience known in loud and shrill tones. Harry Greb fl furnished a diversion when he was introduced as the man to meet Tom Gibbons on March 13. Calls were made for Jack Dempsey, but the champion had not arrived from the Hippopotamus. The old amphitheatre was crowded without being packed, but it was mighty close to a "sell out." with so much at stake in the chance for a shot at Jack Dempsey's championship, the fans took advantage of the opportunity to get a line on Harry Wills, the dasky heavyweight, and to see "Kid" Norfolk, who holds the Negro light heavy-weight title. From floor to gallery the seats were full. Frazee Offers $350,000 Purse Harry H. Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox and internationally known in the medical business yesterday, offered Jack Dempsey. Norfolk was not out as he lay blinking and staring up at the referee who stood over him counting. When the count got to eight he rolled over and crawled to his knees and staggered to his feet as the referee said "ten and out." He did not seem to understand that the bout was over and he was beaten. He tried to push past the referee to renew the battle against his dusky opponent, who sat quietly his corner, not drawing a long line. Finally, however, the facts were impressed on his slowly-acting brain, and he was led to his own corner and so to his dressing room. Norfolk could not give away 35 pounds in weight, 7 inches in height and 7 inches in reach. So ended a most unsatisfactory bout. Nobody learned anything about Wills not already known, except that he was in fine condition and packed a powerful short right. Jack Dempsey did not arrive in time to see the short struggle and he missed nothing. He could learn more about Wills, who wants a shot at his heavyweight title, by watching him skin the rones. After the picture had been taken and introductions made, the two men faced each other for the first round, Wills weighing 211 pounds and Norfolk 176. They looked the difference. Wills landed first, a swinging right to the body, but without inflicting damage. Norfolk danced in and out, crouching low and landed a light left, but Wills came back and forced him to the ropes with a shower of blows, and then seent his opponent staggering across the ring with a smashing right. Norfolk bobbed back with a broad grin as if saying, "is that all you got," and a moment later fell flat on the floor from his own unbalanced efforts in trying to land a right swing which Wills ducked. Another wild exchange followed and then Wills again sent Norfolk back on his heels from a stinging left and a sharp right. Norfolk did not land one effective blow and actually looked outclassed. After the short rest they stepped up for the second round and the quick end. When Norfolk suddely fell over on his back from that short right which did not travel more than inches, his head hit a resounding crash, too, had the effect, in any case he looked. Norfolk took groggy and grum as he walked to his corner. The grin was gone. The two boxers were noisily received as they climbed through the ropes. The crowd grew a bit impatient, because of a short delay in taking up a collection for the Jewish Relief, and in introducing Broco, the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE KKS OUT KID NORFOLK BUND AT MADISON GARDEN.

Harry Greb furnished a diversion when he was introduced as the man to meet Tom Gibbons on March 13. Calls were made for Jack Dempsey, but the champion had not arrived from the Hippodrome. The old amphitheatre was crowded without being packed, but it was mighty close to a "sell out," with so much at stake in the chance for a shot at Jack Dempsey's championship, the fans took advantage of the opportunity to get a line on Harry Wills, the disky heavyweight, and to see "Kid" Norfolk, who holds the Negro light heavy-weight titles. From floor to gallery the seats were full. Frazee Offers $350,000 Purse Harry H. Frazze, owner of the Boston Red Sox and internationally known in the theatrical business, yesterday offered Jack Dempsey, $350,000 to fight Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight champion. Mr. Frazze plans to hold the battle on the second day of next September, which falls on the Saturday before Labor Day. The news of the Frazze proposition struck New York's sporting fraternity last night with a shock of a thunderbolt projected from serene skies. It came as the first move toward another heavyweight championship battle that really could be taken seriously. The only other proposition that has been given anything like serious consideration was that of William A. Brady, theatrical promoter, who offered Dempsey $200,000 to fight Wills. The Frazze offer beats Mr. Brady's LINDENMAN Music Is An Essential A good Piano or Player should be in every home.

It is the largest amount ever offered to any fighter in any division in the history of the world. Jack Kearns and Dempsey were in their dressing room at the Hippodrome when Mark Luescher, connected with the management of that house, carried to them news of the Frazee offer. Kearns appeared to enthuse over the proposition, but asked that he be given time before making a formal statement in connection with it. "Mr. Frazee's figures certainly break all financial records so far as the ring is concerned," said Kearns. "It goes without saying that we must give the proposition serious consideration. As I have said before on numerous occasions, Dempsey is willing to fight anybody. We ask only that there be a public demand for any match in which Jack is to defend his world's title. If there is a public demand for the match and a place can be found in which to stage it, why, we will be there to do our bit." Kearns added that he would not permit Dempsey to enter into any arrangement that was not backed by a reputable and able promoter. Harry Frazze appears to fill this bill. He is the man who staged the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard fight in Havana on April 5, 1915, which was the contest in which Willard acquired the title that he subsequently lost to Dempsey at-Toledo. Since then he has fostered successful theatrical enterprises that have made him famous both here and abroad. Frazze declares he is prepared to post a sum twice the amount Dempsey and Kearns will be required to provide as a guarantee of good faith.
