PORTSMOUTH MAN KILLED IN STREET Joshua Jordan Shot and Instantly Killed By Jesse Hopkins When Two Clash In Battle Monday Afternoon. Joshua Jordan was shot and instantly killed on South Street, Portsmouth, Monday, by Jesse Hopkins, driver of a bakery wagon. Jordan who is said to have made two attacks on Hopkins, hurled a half brick at him and dared him to shoot him. Hopkins had his hand on his hip and let go with his pistol. He fired three shots, each of which took effect in Jordan's body. Before the shooting took place, the man were circling around Hopkin's cart, Jordan being the aggressor. Hopkins had tried to make Jordan leave him alone, but Jordan continued to chase him with a brick. It was when Jordan had his brick poised to throw that he told Hopkins, "You aint got nerve enough to pull no gun on me." Hopkins replied with his gun and Jordan staggered a few steps and fell dead. Hopkins is held by the police on a murder charge. Joshua Jordan was born and reared in Portsmouth. He was about forty years old, was married and has two children, ages nine and four years.

BETTER CROPS AS RESULT OF FARM AGENT U. S. Department Pushes Farm Extension Work. White and Colored Agricultural Agents Work To Improve Conditions. ORGANIZED IN ELEVEN STATES Washington.—Steady progress is recorded in the improvement of farm production and living conditions among Negroes in rural districts of the Southern states, through the influence of extension work in agriculture and home economies carried on co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges, as provided for by the Smith-Lever act. As a result of the extension work Negro farmers are growing profitable crops, acquiring good livestock, starting orchards, and pastures and building better homes, while Negro farm women, through better training in housekeeping for recuperation, the making and care of clothing, nursing the sick, improving sanitary conditions, and beautifying their surroundings, are materially improving the conditions of their homes. Since the beginning of extension work in 1904, Southern Negroes have participated to a large degree in the benefits of the activities of white demonstration agents, supplemented later by the agents of their own race. The first Negro agent to carry on extension work among farmers of his race was appointed in 1905, following a conference between representatives of the Department of Agriculture and the late Bookkeeper Washington, then president of the Bookkeeper Institute. In thirteen years the force of Negro extension workers has grown from seven agents, employed at a cost of $4,184 in 1908, to 224 agents, at a cost $302,798 in 1921. Of these 157 are men and 67 are women. Negro extension work is organized in eleven states, with a Negro state leader, usually designated as district leader. The 157 men agents reporting from fifteen states in 1920 listed 4,284 Negro farmers with 169,609 acres of corn, which as a result of the practice of extension methods yielded almost twice as much per acre as the corn on adjoining fields worked under ordinary methods. A total of 17,361 Negro farmers with 52,471 acres of cotton had an average yield of 500 pounds more seed cotton per acre than was secured from surrounding farms. More than 50 percent of the Negro farmers among whom extension work has been done reported having enough grain and forage to run their farms, which is a remarkable showing as compared with the situation years ago. As a result of extension work Negro farmers in 1920 introduced purified livestock as follows: 377 horses, 1,683 dairy cattle, 149 beef cattle, 2,848 hogs and 700 sheep. There were 68,199 cattle dipped and 134,799 head of livestock were treated for diseases and pests. A total of 329 farmers' clubs were organized among Negroes, with a membership of 16,960. As a result of work among Negro women and girls, living conditions in the home were much improved thru the demonstrations in the preparation of food, in the selection and making of clothing, in equipping the home with sanitary convictions, and in improving home surroundings. One of the most helpful features, perhaps, has been the assistance and advice given in the care of children and in sickness of all kinds.

BENDALL ENDORSE THE INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEES Southern and Northern Newspapers Join In Giving Approval To Plan For Improving Race Relations In The South. CO-OPERATE FOR COMMON GOOD The Southern Inter-Racial Commission which is organized for the purpose of working through joint committees of white and colored for the improvement of race relations is receiving much encouragement from the leading newspapers of the country. The following endorsement of the commission appeared in a recent issue of the Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer: One of the promising phases of race relations in the South for the past few years has been the formation of committees of whites and blacks to meet together and consolidate efforts to reduce friction between the races and advancing and elevating the viewpoint of the representatives of both races who are occasion of most racial difficulties. This effort at co-operation is being recognized and approved by newspapers in the North whose editors realize the size and complexity of the rate problem and sympathize with Southern people who while sharing in common with the people of other sections the tasks and responsibilities of citizenship and economic maintenance have the particular burden of dealing with the black man. The New York Evening Post says in recognition and appreciation of the effort of Southern whites to ameliorate the condition of the blacks; Co-operation between leaders of the white and colored races for the solution of their common problems was given a great impetus by the war. The movement has spread in the South until it promises to accomplish much towards a working out of peacable racial relations. White and colored committees that met together to discuss Liberty bond and Red Cross campaigns have continued to meet to talk over the questions of everyday life, to plan for better educational facilities for Negroes, and to thresh out calmly vexatious situations that threaten to disturb the relations of the races. Back of this movement is an earnest desire on the part of many white persons that the two races shall get along together as their intelligent, sane leaders would have them do. In scores of Southern counties permanent inter-racial committees have been established, some under Y. M. C. A. auspices, others independent of any organization for the common good, but in case of any menace to the peace of the community the white leaders talk things over with the Negroes, who in turn use their influence with their own race. There are many Negroes in the South who have established themselves as substantial, respected citizens, and their advice is given in full weight in these conferences These inter-racial organizations, while they may not offer a solution for the many difficult phases of a great national problem, certainly are a step in the right direction. Dr. James H. Dillard, of Charlottesville, Vn., is president of the Commission and Dr. W. W. Alexander, of Atlanta, is executive secretary. Many of the most prominent business men, educators and ministers in the South are members of the commission. Terrific Rain and Wind Storm Causes Havoc In Warrenville, S. C.

JURY IN CORPORATION COURT FREES ETHEL RIDDICK ON TESTIMONY Morbid Evidence Of Sexual Degeneracy Marks Trial Of Young Girl Charged With Killing Woman Who Led Her Into Immorality. Ethel Riddick, a sixteen year old colored girl, who was charged with the killing by stabbing Pearl Clarke, a married woman aged twenty-seven years old and who had been living from her husband, was acquitted after a fifteen minute deliberation by a jury in the Corporation Court Thursday last. The evidence disclosed was sensational in the extreme. the accused alleging that she was lured from her home by the dead woman who made her all sorts of presents, and that their relations were as "sweet-hearts." Both were employed at the American Tobacco Company and Della Darden who also works at the factory, said she heard the Clarke woman say on the morning preceding the night of the cutting, that, "If you keep messing with me, I'll cut your throat and go about my business." It seems that the quarrel grew out of the Riddick girl tiring of the relations and went back to her people. The cutting occurred in Tyler street during September and the woman is allged to have lingered until the 13th day of February. The defendant was represented by Attorneys Harrison and Peters. MANY STREETS NOW IMPASSABLE IN COLORED SECTIONS OF THE CITY Winter and Rainy Weather Have Got Huntersville and Barboursville "Bottled Up." Residents of that section of Norfolk bound on the south by Princess Anne avenue; on the east and north by the Norfolk and Western railway, and on the west by Church street are feeling more keenly than they have in several years the deplorable condition of streets in their section of the city, due to the long winter, which has been accompanied by a greater amount of rainfall than usual. The more general use of trucks and automobiles in recent years has subjected the dirt streets of the section of the city in question to heavier traffic than they were built to endure. When this territory was annexed to the city from Norfolk county about twelve years ago the streets were in pretty fair condition, as the county frequently repaired them, filling up the holes with shells, stone, etc. CITY HAS PAVED SOME Since the adoption of the new form of government and a city in the section named have been O'Keefe street and Barre street, street, Washington avenue and C Principal thoroughfares the Johnson avenue, Lexington street avenue, Sutton, Ann, Outten, Bol and other streets.

Some of the above named streets are already included, it is understood, in the city manager's program for street paving for the next twelve months, and the people are anxiously awaiting for these to be reached and others to be included in the hope that another winter will not catch them in their present shape. T. B. ASSOCIATION REPORTSHEALTH WORK Chesterfield, Goochland and Orange County Local Groups Aid Victims of Tuberculosis In Unique Ways. Richmond, March.—From Chesterfield County comes an interesting account of work done by the Home Economics Club of the Chester High School. Miss Helen Ward, the teacher, and her class, learning through the Public Health Nurse of a young woman who had tuberculosis and was without funds for the necessary treatment, inaugurated a series of cafeteria lunches at the school. In this way they raised enough money to send the patient to Blue Ridge Sanatorium for a month and to buy slippers or for her. At Christmas a nice beacon containing plum and other delicacies was packed and sent to the sanatorium. The Club members take turns in writing to their pro- The Nursing Committee of Goochland County has purchased a reclining chair and some warm blankets or the use of tuberculosis patients taking treatment at home and unable to procure the necessary equipment. A merchant in the County gave a cushion for the chair. This is the seat of the care of the Public Health Nurse, who lendls it where it is needed and sees that it is skilkered before passing it on to the next case. The Tuberculosis Committee of Kings Daughters in Orange County has already sent three tuberculosis patients to the sanatorium this year with the money realized through the sale of Christmas Seals, and intend to supplement this fund by securing private subscriptions to carry forward the splendid health work which they have been doing for the past two years.

"That is why we insist upon the immediate abolition of martial law in Haiti." other departments desired, and of the opening aof the University on March 2nd, 1867, Professor Dyson related its advance from a student body of three in 1867 to a student body of two thousand in 1878. **BIRDS KILL MICE** Mice and rabbits kill young trees by gnawing of the bark in winter, thus girdling them.

LOOK TO YOUR TRUCK GARDEN People who have twenty feet of ground in the back yard can have a little vegetable patch which will not only give them plenty of fresh green things during the summer but save them a nice penny, which, placed in the savings bank, will come in mighty handy next winter, when the cold weather and other things makes every penny saved a friend in need. Those who have city homes can do this. Those who have homes in the suburbs and just across the city line can also have a chicken yard and raise enough poultry and eggs for home use. The pleasure of looking after the little garden and the chickens should not be overlooked, and it will make the home hours after the day's work all the more satisfactory because of the health it will promote and the penny it will save. And the women folks should be sure and have a nice flower development in the front yard, with potted plants on the veranda. It makes for coolness and it marks the owner as a lover of the sweet and the beautiful in life. It is easy to keep the front yard fence and gate in good condition and to look after the flowers and plants. The pleasure to be derived from doing so will be very great. The influence of your example will also react upon your neighbors not minded as you are, so that they will go and do likewise. If you have five or ten feet of ground in your front yard make a beautiful flower garden of it. It will reflect the neatness and the sweetness in your life. THE PASSING OF A SPLENDID RACE ARTIST The death of Bert Williams, our top-notcher in comedy, has brought out tributes from the highest authorities of American drama and players on his attainmenta as a performer and his qualities as a man. There is no question about it that he was a great artist. Florenz Zeigfield, in whose productions he has starred for several years, says he "was the whitest man I ever knew." The characterization is ambiguous, but he meant, of course, that Williams was a perfect gentleman as well as a splendid artist. Heywood Broun, the musical critic of the New York World, has devoted quite a number of columns to Williams, the man and his art. It is generally agreed that Williams was much restrained in showing his genius fully as a comedian by his managers, who strive always to give the public the sort of entertainment they want and are willing to pay for, and whose admonition to Williams was always, "Now, be funny." It was understood that Williams had determined to make a departure in his work, looking into higher things, after the termination of his existing contracts, but death called him away before he got to it. Bert Williams gained his highest development as an artist in his team work with George Walker. Their combination was irresistible. The death of Walker was a great blow to Williams, as the death of Bob Cole was to Rosamond Johnson. The team work of the two combinations was well nigh perfect. We have developed a wonderful number of artists in music and the drama, with our own playhouses, and we shall do so in larger measure as we go along, as our lovers of music and the drama are becoming more numerous, intelligent and affluent with each generation of us. The outlook is most encouraging. Efforts to purify stage morals and elevate the one of musical and dramatic production must keep pace with the growing intelligence of the people and their demand for decency as well as refinement, coupled with the highest culture. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Insisted during the Arms Conference, that if Great Britain should sacrifice the Japanese alliance to satisfy the demands of the United States and the Dominion premiers of Great Britain, in the interest of world supremacy of the white Christin Nations, Great Britain would, by so doing, not only weaken herself but bring on a crisis in the relation of the Christian Nations and the off-color peoples of Asia and Africa. The crisis is approaching. The announcement was made Friday of last week that the British authorities in India have placed under arrest Mohandas K. Gandhi, the Indian non-co-operationist leader, whom the Indian people worship for his wisdom and devotion to their interests. The arrest of Gandhi and other Indian leaders, charged with sedition, is bound to bring on a crisis, the end of which no man can forsee. There are some 400,000,000 East Indians, ruled by a British Vice-Roy, and cabinet, with some 30,000, white troops, and a large body of native troops, which the British cannot depend upon in a National uprising. BRIEFS AND SPICES By S. J. C. Laying down the law is some women's greatest asset. The rock that wrecks the matrimonial ship is usually a rock-less pocketbook. We agree that the world's a stage and the scenery is good—but isn't the acting punk? Another way to avoid the unpleasant after effects of a kiss these days is to remove the rouge. Because a girl bobs her hair and blocks your view at a movie would it be proper to refer to her as a bloc-head. Our idea of a practical joker is, a young fellow who boosts his income tax in order to win the hand of a boot-leggers daughter Advice to newly-weds: A kitchenette is no place to roast hubby. The editor of a "Woman's Page" advised wisely when she said: "Children should be taught to love the printed words." Some of the funny M. Gandhi has not only done much to paralyze British government in India by converting the masses to a policy of non-co-operation with the British in anything, but he has done much to bring about the co-operation of Hindus and Mohammedans, religious sects which are radically different in their beliefs and which have been heretofore very hostile to each other. Mohammedanism is the prevailing religion of Asia and Africa. Allah is their god and Mohammed is their prophet. It is easy to see in which direction Japan will fling its big sharp sword if a war should break out against British rule in India. HIGH STANDARDS OF EDUCATION The Tidewater Teachers' Association is a good and helpful organization. All organizations are that have for their objects the maintenance of high and dependable standards of thought, word and act of their membership, with reflex influence upon their immediate friends and neighbors. Organizations of teachers, like those of preachers and doctors and lawyers, are helpful to the last degree to their immediate membership, because of the mere fact of association and the interchange of opinions and information, which in this way become common property of the membership and helpful alike to them and to the community. President J. S. Lee of the Tidewater Teachers' Association was in mighty good business, therefore, when he advised the teachers to raise children to higher standards. That is very necessary, and always will be, because there are always higher heights than we are able to attain to, and the higher we aim the higher we reach. But President Lee could have gone further with great advantage; he could have advised the teachers themselves to labor earnestly for higher things in teaching the children, and, to this end, avail themselves of constant study of the technical books and publications dealing with the questions of education and preparedness, and by maintaining associations for study among themselves, and taking the vacation periods in attending summer schools and institutes. Many do this, and they should be encouraged and others persuaded to do so. The teacher higher up has to keep on a-climbing if he would draw his pupils up to the highest possible standards. HELPING OUR FARMERS HELP THEMSELVES It should be a matter of pride among us that there are some 925,000 Negro farmers, or 15 per cent. of the total farm population of the country, and that the number is increasing every year. Of the total number 700,000 are tenant farmers. Dr. Tigert, the Federal Commissioner of Education, says the greatest need of our farmers is land grant colleges for the preparing of teachers for our farmers. Dr. True of the Federal Department of Agriculture, says there are only 160 Negro farm demonstration agents and about 80 home demonstration agents. This is a woefully inadequate number, considering the magnitude of the work and the unpreparedness of the workers. The Department of Agriculture would increase the number of workers if it had the appropriation with which to do it, but the question of trained Negro teachers would still have to be met, and the land grant colleges are needed for this purpose, in addition to the splendid work of our industrial schools in the Southern States. If Mr. Clarence Poe of The Progressive Farmer, would widen his sympathies in the hope to create a better and happier condition of rural life, so as to include all of the race groups, instead of one, he would have easier work to do in getting what he hopes for. If he should visit the Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, the State Normal at Greensboro, the State Normal and Hampton Institute, of Virginia, and see at first hand what is being done in those institutions to help Negro farmers help themselves, he might think in terms of greater broadness for the best interests of all of the people of rural North Carolina who sit at his feet and learn of him. All possible inducements and encouragement and attractions should be given to keep our farming population in the country districts. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY MOBLIZING OUR FINANCE Two excellent examples of mobilizing our finances were noted in last week's news. In Norfolk, Va., the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, combined its capital and resources with the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, thus affecting an organization with total resources of over $1,200,000.00. In Durham, N. C., the Fraternal Bank and Trust Company consolidated with the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, giving the new organization total resources of over $633,000.00. These mergers show that our financiers are awakening to the necessity of close organization and are profiting by the achievements of other great corporations whose successes have been due chiefly to their willingness to co-operate with and consolidate business of kindred type. The expense of operation is substantially reduced and the amount of service in proportionly increased. It is a peculiar shortcoming of our people to overcrowd fields of profitable business, thereby incurring overhead expenses that ultimately work to the detriment of the whole business. Such precedents will have their effects on other avenues of our activities and do much towards increasing our co-operation and efficiency for race-building—Staunton (Va.) Reporter. We often hear it said that the next war will be a war of the chemists, and already they seem to have found out how to make synthetic gin with considerable belligerence in it. Ohio State Journal. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "The Children in the Mist," by George Madden Martin. Published by D. Appleton and Co. Price $1.75, with postage $1.85. I read recently in a Southern paper of a college professor who in lecturing upon recent literature written by Negroes, placed my novel, "The Shadow," as the work of a colored novelist. My ambition as an author makes me never read a mistake like this without feeling deeply complimented. It must show that I have sufficiently penetrated into the thought life of the Negro race to be able to depict it, not as an outsider, but as one with understanding. George Madden Martin, who by the way is a woman, will never be mistaken as to her race. When she writes of "The Children of the Mist," she is an outsider, looking at her characters sympathetically tenderly, but as a superior who tries to make allowance for an inferior being. For myself, I am weary of this attitude whether it refer to white or black, rich or poor. Why should the person who has been born into comfort and has had every advantage feel superior to one who has been born without opportunity for education, for comfort, for health of mind or body? These beautiful, aristocratic owners of slaves whom George Madden Martin depicts so lovingly scarcely touched life compared with the ragged, untutured blacks who toiled to keep their owners in idleness. And no amount of tender sympathy can make the writer with the psychology of the slave owner identify himself with the inner life of those whom she tries to describe. After this introduction I am ready to talk about a really remarkable book once you accept its viewpoint. For George Madden Martin is an accomplished story teller, who delighted us with her tales of "Emmy Lou," and who, when she comes to tell of "The Children in the Mist," describes some unusual and vivid incidents. The first story, "The Flight," is the best in the book. Sherman is marching to the sea, burning houses behind him, and you see Miss Susan Begue, owner of Scuppernong Hall, standing outside of her burning home, with two young girl nieces, and five slaves, old Maum Harriet, brought from Africa, her daughter and three little boys, grandchildren. They must travel that night fifteen miles to Cinnamon Court House, the roads are full of troops and dangerous. Leaving their burning home behind them the eight journey on together. At the old Negro takes the lead. It is she who is the protector of them all. And how she guides them through the swamp is one of the most wonderful slave stories that has ever written of the South. You thrill when you find Miss Begue, the mistress, coming for the first time upon the slave's secret, the hard firm foot path traversing to the white man, the impenetrable swamp. "A continuous narrow ribbon stretching ahead; winding in and out across marshes, through moss and around lagoons, linking hummock to island and island to some uphrust of solid footing in a sea of quaking bog. One grasped that this winding ribbon was a road, ...a work of careful and painstaking construction, a corduroy foundation of felled trees, built upon with the turfy sods of marsh grass, filled in and surfaced with bog mud and clay, now hard and dry with time and usage." Here slaves have travelled from plantation to plantation, and here runaways have been lost to their owners and sometimes have survived for years. And here one of Miss Begue's own slaves, who had fled from her plantation, helps her and the two young girls to safety. The other seven stories vary in interest, the best of them, "The Inskip Niggah," moving like "The Flight," about the theme of the lady of quality and the faithful servant. This must at times have been a beautiful relationship but one grows a little weary at hearing about it, and always from the master's pen. But unquestionably beautiful is the ending of "The Inskip Niggah," where the southern lady, Miss Lavinia, penniless, neglected in her pride by once devoted friends, in danger of being sent to the poorhouse, at the last is saved by the wisdom and kindness of her old servant. Laying her hand upon his shoulder, she looks into the faces of those others of her own race who did nothing and says: "If God had not willed many things, it would not have come about that out of so much friendship there emerged for me the miracle of a friend." Here the attitude of mistress and servant vanishes and two spirits meet on an equality. Books like "The Children in the Mist," do much good. They show the difficulties that beset the Negro's path and they breathe a very real and tender sympathy. But I doubt if they really portray the black man. "Batoula." By Bene Maran. Paris: Albain Michel. 8fr. 75. This novel by a Negro, to which was awarded the 1921 Goncourt Prize in France, is called by the publisher a "veritable roman negre." But it is more than that. It is another of those successful ventures into the arts by which the modern Negro is managing to make himself heard above the general increasing numbers.

Address all communications and make all checks or money orders payable to is a sign that as he grows in racial scuf-consciousness and pride, under the sting of white incomprehension and oppression, he can successfully employ literature as a means not only of "self-expression" but of race-expression. It is easy to read into the work of an exotic author too much exotic atmosphere, but in this case the Paris publisher was justified in calling this Negro romance veritable. It could not have been written by a man of any other blood. Anyone even superficially acquainted with the Negro as he reveals himself in America can detect in "Batoula" true Negro humor, with the authentic Negro quintessence; but more Negro still is the use of and delight in color. Sometimes it is rather dragged in for its own sake, although not to the novel's harm. It is laid on with an exulting brush—tropical, luxurant. The strokes are broad, the contrasts hold. Reading "Batoula," one is bound to recall examples of African art with its gusto for primary colors, its caleress strength. And the book is fiercely, though naively, animal. The senses flourish and expand: sound, taste, sight, smell. M. Maran sees to it that we eat tremendous dishes to repletion; hear the tomtom's excitations; see the heat waves quivering on hill and plain; small goats, dogs, sweat, and excrement. Such, he asserts, is Equatorial Africa. If you have taken a dislike to him as a guide, you had better turn back. Africa, especially that woman lieutenant. Two of the twenty policewomen in Washington are colored women, and into their hands for investigation come all cases of first offense among colored women seventeen years or over, and those of all colored girls under seventeen, whether these girls are lawbreakers or merely destitute and dependent. Both of these policewomen bring to their work a wide social experience, one having served overseas as Y. M. C. A. worker during the World War, and the other, a graduate of a Western university, having been identified with representative social agencies in New York.

Yassiguintja, the wench, deceives him without shame, compounding iniquity with his enemy, Bissibingui. How Batoula meant to kill them both and why he failed comprises the novel you call it. The author makes no claim; he says the book is merely "une succession d'eaux fortes." What M. Maran thinks of the whites who govern his native country—or consume it, as he puts the matter—is evident. But he denies that his book is a polemic. "It does not accuse," he says; "it records." His preface, however, does not escape bitterness. Of his people in decimated Ouubangui-Chari he remarks: "If they die of hunger by thousands, like flies, it is only because one is developing their country"; and again: "They suffer but laugh that they suffer."—Phillips Russell: COLORED POLICEWOMEN OF WASHINGTON The Police Departments of many American cities are now employing policewomen. One of the pioneers in the women-police movement is Washington, D.C. This city has at present twenty policewomen with their own Woman's Bureau directed by a UNTIL APRIL 1st. 1922 MARCH 18, 1922. Everything indicates that intelligent colored people of Washington are turning interested eyes upon the child of the alley and gutter, realizing that they cannot afford to allow the neglected children to be sacrificed, for they and not the fortunate few will make up the rank and file of future Negro citizenry. It is hoped that this movement will spread and that cities not having colored policewomen will ask for them. The peace, order, and welfare of the entire race in the future depends upon what is done for Negro children now—Alice Ward Smith in the Southern Workman.

I admire a young woman very much and could love her if I had the chance. She knows nothing of this, and I think she feels herself above all that would you do. I am in and sincere, a good worker, and have a good job, at which I have worked for years. —A WORKER. I sympathize with you, but am convinced that you should go slow in your pursuit of this young lady. However, since a cat may look at a king, you might secure it. You can soon tell her attitude toward you. If it is unfavorable, forget. There are other nice girls. I SEE BY THE PAPERS That the flapper of today won as being more wholesome than the girl of a generation ago. Old fashioned and agree with the decision. The truth is that judges belong to its generation. If the people of George Washington's day were the judges, the old girl would stand some show. Every sentiment has its day and this is the day of the flapper. That the dockers knock instead of the sought. That is as it should be, even if it be the girls mother. Why should our girls sit quietly and wait for some one to come along and choose her for him, only don't tell him or any one your intentions. "A still tongue makes a wise head." That a certain woman of the highest society admitted her guilt to the judge, eating a good dinner. Be encouraged dear sister, we still know enough to be ashamed of our short comings. "That the average number of women in British prisons has decreased several penal establishments for women having been closed lately." This is a good example for the whole world.

A medium was reached by a tie. Delphenia Gregory rendered a very enjoyable instrumental solo which was enjoyed by all. One was reminded of the song of the nightingale, when Sophia Sanghta said, "The Love of Love." Special credit should be given to George Austin on the careful and thoughtful paper which he prepared for the debate. Elisie Frasier played the, "Flower Song," which was enjoyed by all. In Maytime We Learn To Love, was the very sweetly by Anna Chambliss. The vocal solo by Lennice Butts, was enjoyed by all the members of the del Literary Society.

Corn your own beef. After removing the bone, let stand eight or ten days. Boll when you have nothing to use and serve cold with a green salad.

Carey Montague In Southern Churchman, Gives The Prevailing Intelligent Opinion of Southern Whites on The American Negro. Since the organization of the interracial Welfare Committees, which are to be found successfully functioning in the Southern States, it is not a rare thing to meet white men of standing and influence in their communities who will publicly defend the Southern Negro against injurious propaganda and seize man-made persons, presuming to speak or write upon the true characteristics and present social and economic condition of the race. Such a defence appeared last week in the Southern Churchman, Montague, one of the editors, who writes as follows: WE BEG TO DISAGREE. One of our readers has called our attention to an article written by Henry W. Nevinson in the Baltimore We do not know this gentleman, either personally or by reputation, but we gather from what he says that his experience in Africa has been more extensive than in this country. He writes of attending a colored CHURCH DIRECTORY Enjoy That Book With SALASKY GLASSES "WE KNOW HOW" SALASKY OPTICAL CO. 743 CHURCH ST.

Nearly every song has a chorus, and though most start with a solo part, the chorus keeps breaking in, often before the solitary singer has gone many words, as though the whole gang restrain their feelings no more. It is not without reason that nearly all may be divided into what are called 'Sorrow Songs, and 'Songs of Deliverance'. What Bent the Spirit of a slave could have produced such songs as 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I Have Seen, or 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, or 'Stealing Away to Jesus?' Who but an oppressed people, hardly a slave, could have produced 'Go Down, Moses, with its repeated refrain, 'Let My People Go?' If Mr. Nevinson could hear these same songs sung by the chorus of Hampton Institute he would appreciate that slavery is not a necessary element to a proper and effective rendition. There he would see large numbers of free colored men and women who are being educated mentally and manually, and developed into independent, honest, helpful citizenship, who still retain the musical talent to spritialize, and develop their role and chorus, without the sorrows of slavery to give the realistic touch. Again, this writer, toward the close of his article, after commenting on his acquaintance with the native African, and his admiration of the good traits of the race, says: "In the American 'colored' people I seem to find still distinguish old people from still distinguish the main family of their race—the genusual good-humor, the irresistible laughter, the faithful response to the man who keeps his word to them, and above all, the delight in music and emotion and in humor, and in wrong. They tell me it is actually dangerous even to suggest decent qualities in a Negro. It may be so; my experience in this country is very brief. But I have known the Negro at far lower levels of what is at the highest level, and even at his lowest levels I have found some decent qualities." We do not know what kind of "American" he has been associating with, and from whom he got his warning that it is positively dangerous" to attribute good qualities to the Negro, and there may be places where the white people have that advantage, certainly not general in the South. The writer has seen and shared in a fine spirit of co-operation between the races for social betterment. There are more than 800 inter-racial committees throughout our Southern States in which white and colored people work with com-munities of all races and do everything possible to promote and maintain cordial inter-racial relations. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH BOLLING BROOK (J, P, Henleu) All services from the early prayer meeting to the night service were largely attended. The pastor seemed at his best and preached a very powerful sermon at the morning hour. Many of the members who have been in attendance have been yesterday and partook of the Lord's Supper with us. Rev. V. B. Clurke, one of our own young ministers, fed us divinely from the pulpit at the evening hour. On last Wednesday evening, a quiet but pretty wedding was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Butts and Miss Katherine Augustine, were joined in happy wedlock. The bride and bridesmaids were dressed in lovely white gowns. All carrying bouquets of beautiful roses. Rev. G. R. Malloy of Mt. Pleasant performed the ceremony. ST. LUKE'S C. M. E. CHURCH Our Sunday school Choir, which has been inactive for a few months is now rehearsing again for Easter. In the Senior department, the Live Wires are very enthusiastic in their energy, helping to bind all their energies to promote the best interests of the Sunday school. Dr. Taylor's very profound message last Sunday at the morning service to the church, text taken from Isaiah 43:5, was one of great help to the members and very comforting. He was also of great help under Mr. Brown, and the meeting last Sunday was well conducted and the topic discussion and program were enjoyed by all present. Come out with us next. Sunday and help us make this meeting a lively one. The evening service was very largely attended. During the same hour the evening service was very vigorous. Moses held its twenty-ninth anniversary. The program rendered by them was most interesting and sermon delivered by the pastor was very instructive. BANK STREET RAPTIST CHURCH The pulpit of Bank Street Baptist church was filled by Rev. F. W. Jacobs last Sunday, as the pastor, Rev. C. M. Long was out of the city. Rev. Jacobs preached an eloquent and convincing sermon on, "Walking Christ into the discourse was a very difficult one which the congregation thoroughly enjoyed. At the evening service, Rev. Jacobs again spoke, his subject being, "Waiting on the Lord." The attendance is steadily increasing from Sunday to Sunday, while the contributions are very gratifying to the committee reported a total of $303.38 collected the previous Sunday. Shiloh Pastor Goes To New Field REV. J. H. ASHBY Rev. J. H. Ashby, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, has recently tendered his resignation to that church, in order to assume the pastorate of a Baptist church is Ashbury Park, N. J. Since coming to Norfolk, five years ago, the Rev. Mr. Ashby has been an influential factor in civic, religious and educational affairs. He has labored untimely for the work of Shiloh Baptist church and has succeeded in making it a man of wonderful influence for good among the people here, by whom he will be greatly missed. The hosts of friends wish him the greatest success in his new field of labor. The Rev. Mr. Ashby has been called has a thriving membership of one thousand or more. He plans to take up the work there about May 15. His resignation to the people of Shiloh Baptist church follows in part: "The officers and Members of Shiloh Baptist church, Norfolk, Va. Dear Brethren and Sisters: This hour requires of me a duty that is hard to perform, but having been moved by a force that is greater than my strength, I am forced. First of all, I am conscious of the fact, that from all eternity I was elected and chosen to be a minister of righteousness. And in due time by the providence of God, I was elected to be a minister of twelve years we have labored together. Up to my coming my training had been little and experience less, but with faith in God and the church accepted the responsibilities of the order, ask, and went forward in His name. Now after these years of victories and defenses, of joys and sorrows, I have come to say that I am not ashamed of the things we have done in the war, but I have had opposition, but not from within. We have had war but not among ourselves. We have had peace, but not at the expense of prosperity. As I look back upon the experiences thru which we have passed, I rejoice that we have found strength, and every cloud have had its silver lining. * * * And now when I am ready to go with you further the Holy Spirit has forbid me, and like the apostle, I be beholded in the presence of me and saying, come over into Macedonia and help us. What shall I do? Must I be disobedient to the heavenly vision? My heart says, Where He leads I will follow that His purpose may prosper at my hands. It is for我 to be a pastor of my resignation as pastor of this church. I am extremely grateful to you, one and all for your loyalty, and support during these years, and as I leave you I shall carry the fondest memories of your poor and my friendship. I shall fordividegive my selection of my successor, and thru the years look forward to the day when we shall again be reunited, with Him who did so love us as to give His life for us. Finally brethren farewell. Yours in His name. J. H. ASHBY. OCEANA CIRCUIT Last Saturday at 2 p.m. the Presiding Elder, Dr. Jones, held the Fourth Quarterly Conference of the Oceana Circuit at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church, Oceana.

Dr. Jones presched at St. Mark's church last Sunday at the morning service. The pastor, Dr. Geo. H West, presched at St. John's Church last Sunday at the Kingdom" in St. Matt. 16:19.

Our pastor, Rev. H. A. Brinkley, has put several new plans into operation which have caused the church to succeed. Through his wise leadership, spiritually, financially and numerically. While not a great number was added to the church during 1921, the few are workers. It's spiritual growth is realized in its regular service. It has been two years in which Rev. H. A. Brinkley has been pastor of this church the financial conditions have succeeded in every way. In 1921 $42.00 was given by the church for homelove ($73.25), the church for education ($10.50) in the home treasury, $71.58, making a total of $788.78. Our church is fairly well united.

After the Bible study on the subject, "Habits, Godd and Bad," a demonstration was given of habits and how formed. Then each person was given paper and pencil and asked to write on the subjects suggested. Many were the subjects given. Then a habit was suggested and distributed on slides to the gathering. The program was an original piece by J. R. Dawson in a sweet solo by Miss Mabel Perry. Many new faces were found among the old, and we welcome all heartily Come again. COMMUNION SERVICES On last Scribbath, the congregation and many friends were made to feel the solitude of the communion service, through Rev.D.-D. F. White's sermon and the impressiveness of the occasion. The pastor preached as one newly inspired and it was a humble, prayerful congregation that received the communion which was ably served by the pastor and elders.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1933, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR MARCH 19 THE DOWNFALL OF ISRAEL **LESSON TEXT-II** *Hikens* 17:1-18. **GOLDEN TEXT-III** *H righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.* *Prov.* 18:34. BREFERENCE MATERIAL-Hosea 1; Amos 2:5-16. PRIMARY TOPIC-What Came of Wrong. Doing. JUNIOR TOPIC—Israel's Punishment for Disobedience. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Results of Disobedience to God. -YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -How National Saints Are Punished. -1 Israel Taken Into Capivity (vv. 1-10). This was the fulfillment of that which Amos had predicted in the days of Jeroboam II, at a time when the nation was at the height of its prosperity. The northern kingdom was ruled by 10 kings, all of whom were wicked. Their wickedness was not because of lack of information or opportunity, but in spite of it. God promised the first king His blessing if he would be loyal to Him. Jeroboam departed from God and the apostasy thus began continued downward by the power of the king. The last king, the king of Assyria came and besieged Samaria and carried the children of Israel captive to Assyria, from which they never returned. II. The Sins Which Caused Their Doom (vv. 7-18). 1. Conformed to the ways of the heathen (vv. 7-9). God had commanded them not to follow in the ways of the heathen, but these Israelites, instead of maintaining lives of separation, secretly did that which was displeasing to God. Secret sins just as surely as open sins bring ruin, for all things are naked and open to Him with whom we have to do. One man who was not a heathen while practicing sins, but ruin will sooner or later overtake him. Even though God had cast out the heathen for practicing these sins, the Israelites followed in their ways. God demands separation (II Cor. 6:17). 2. Served idols (vv. 10-12). They not only compromised by "walking in the statutes of the heathen," but worshiped their gods. It was not a long step from following in the statutes of the heathen to worshiping their gods. Before they worshiped idols they cast off the true God. Idolatry came in because the race did not wish to retain God in its affection (Rom. 12:1-2). Today we worship idols because they have first cast off the authority of the living God, Man is a worshipful being. When he ceases to worship the true God, he worships other gods. Neutral ground is impossible. 3. They were rebellious (vv. 15). God by his prophet had said unto them "Turn ye from your evil ways and keep my commandments," but they stubbornly refused His testimony, even rejected His statutes. God in love, tried to save them. He sent some of the noblest and best prophets who ever spoke to man to persuade them to turn from their sins, such as Elijah and Elisha, but they hardened their necks and plunged deeper into wickedness. 4. Caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire (vv. 17). This was the dreadful Molech worship—the most cruel of the worshipers' worship by killing a fire in hollow metal image until its arms were red hot and placing live children therein to be buried to death. 5. Restored to magical practices (vv. 17). When faith in the true God wanes, men always turn to the magical arts. In this way they sold themselves to evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger. III. Judgment Falls (v. 1S). At this stage of the drama the curtain falls. God could not be inactive longer. 1. God was very angry. God's anger is not raving fury, but the revulsion of His holy nature against sin. Sin cannot be overcome. His must strike. Though He waits long, the debt must be paid and always with compound interest. There is only one way to escape God's wrath; that is, to turn from sin. 2. Removed them out of His sight. The land of Palestine is regarded as the land of God's sight; that is, the place of His manifested presence. Their national identity was blotted out forever. These people are still scattered among the troubles and are separated from their land, troubles they will return to their land. The judgment was severe, but not more so than the sin merited. God had waited long. The despairing of His grudge must eventually work ruin. What judgment must fall upon, the people today who reject His grace and mercy! Every thought we think images itself in the mind and every image that is persistently hold in mind is bound to materialize—Teen Porter Hudd. Perfect Peace. Then will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because be trusteth in thee—Isaiah 20:8. He That Diggeth a Pit. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whose breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him—Eccles. 10:8. There was one accession during the day. Bring your friends. Don't miss hearing the pastor this Sunday evening speak from the subject, "The King that put out His Hand and couldn't draw it back."
