CITY RIVALING NEW YORK PROMISED Florence, Ala.-The daily newspapers inform us that there is a rush of people to the Muscles Shoals district, Alabama, that is not unlike the rush to Texas and Oklahoma following the discovery of oil.

Even old estates that have been kept intact ever since the Civil War are being placed on the markets and sold at increasing prices. The 75 miles of villages contemptuously called the City of Huntsville, the cities of Huntsville, Madison County on the east of Muscle Shoals, and Florence in Lauderdale county on the west. In these six counties which border northern and southern banks of the Mississippi River, the Muscle Shoals District, there is according to the Census of 1920, a total population of 218,665 inhabitants, 60,850 or nearly 28 per cent of whom are Negroes. Among this group there are nearly 100,000 acres of land, valued approximately at four and one-quarter million dollars, and it has been reported that these farmers have been greatly benefited by the sudden boom in land values.

C.—There have been some notable changes of activity on the part of Republican members of Congress in recent weeks. Students of psychology who may be studying atmospheres, will get some valuable lessons by visiting the nation's capital. The enemies, the tariff, and the soldier bonnet in a way just as important, Haiti, Santo Domingo, the Liberian loan and the Dyer AntLynch bill, are furnishing food for thought as well as action. President Harding, while greatly interested in all these subjects is permitting Congress to have full sway in the matter of legislation. Haiti, which are being conducted by the committee of which Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois is Chairman, are nearing an end. General-Russell is High Commissioner for Haiti, appointed by President Harding, is now in that country—and has begun the serious performance of his duties. Press can state with the highest authority that arrangements are being made to get into sympathetic relationship, with Haitian program, and there is a strong desire to have colored Americans actively assist in working out the problems incident thereto.

C.—That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of Negro education is the substance of an interview given out. Dr. John J. Tigert, United States College of Negro Education, returned from a recent conference in Nashville with the heads of the 28 State and Federal Land Grant Colleges for Negroes. The fact that Dr. Tigert is a native of Tennessee always lived in the South adds significance to this statement, which follows in full: "The neglect of Negro education was resulted in an immeasurable loss to the country. It has not only effected the manifold prosperity espoused by the South, but the population is greatest, but has likewise effected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and injured the morals of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of the Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been incalculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can scarcely be explained by the magnitude of what would have been the effect upon the Negro himself by way of encouragement, arousing ambition and increasing his value as a citizen."

PRICE FIVE CENTS ERROR FIRE WHITE YOUTH SHOOTS SMALL COLORED BOY Little Cleveland Washington of Lamberts Point Killed By Bullet When White Fires Into Group of Lads Fishing. ASSAILANT CALMLY GOES TO SCHOOL On Wednesday, March 8, while a half dozen colored boys ranging in ages from nine to twelve years were digging shellfish on the cast shore of the Elizabeth river, a white youth named Powers, about sixteen years old, diring upon them, mortally wounding little Cleveland Washington, and wounding little Washington, 1410 West 45th St. The boys stated that Powers came up to where they were in a rowbeat and demanded, "What are you niggers doing here!" "Get out of here!" and before they had time to think or act whipped out a revolver and proclaimed the contents at them, firing five or six shots. When the first shot was fired the frightened boys scurried for safety, but the mad youth kept pulling the trigger until his revolver ceased to respond; then he coolly rowed back on West 38th Street, and then back on West 38th Street, and resumed his studies. Little Cleveland Washington lay on the shore mortally wounded, having been hit by the second shot which, recording to the statement of Dr. Kirkup on the upon him, he had been rushed to Tidwell Hospital, perforated the child's intestines in four places. The surgeon removed six inches or the intestines in a heroic effort to save the little fellow's life. His condition later, however, became so serious that Dr. Kirkup had to conduct a consultation. Wednesday of this week, the bad succumbed to his injuries. Young Powers is the son of Sergeant Powers of the Norfolk police force. The boys say that the assault upon them was entirely unproveved as no evidence was found. The shore is the property of Mr. W. Conover, who has never objected to any one digging shell fish from it. It has been said that Officer Powers, father of the lad, who did the shooting, endowed to compromise with Mr. and Mrs. Washington with an offer to defray the hospital expenses, the expense of burial in case of death, in a payment of fifty dollars, which, of course, was indignantly refused. After the death of the wounded boy young Powers was indicted on a manslaughter charge and the case had not come up for trial at the time, this paper went to press. The colored citizens of Lamberts Pond wish to see justice done, and able to continue to work employment. Suit for $10,000 damages has been instituted against the parents of the murderer. Judge R. H.

Perkinsb Elizabeth City, N. U.-Rev. Daniel L. Reed; former Lieutenant and Chapplain in the U.S. Army, widely known as a lecturer on race topics, is now in North Carolina speaking to large and enthusiastic audiences, appealing powerfully to our group on. "Race Consciousness," "Race Love," "Race Inspiration," and "Race Cg-operation." Wherever Dr. Reed speaks he is pressed by the citizens of that place for a return engagement. REV. DANIEL L REED At Ahoskie, N. C., March 5th, 3-p.m., Dr. Reed spoke to a packed house, and by a unanimous request, he returned March the 8th and repeated his famous Mcture, "The Black Man's Hope in America" in the same church to a larger audience. At the Zion Bethlehem Baptist church, Rev. C. M. Cartwright, pastor, Windsor, N. C., Dr. Reed addressed a large audience. For nearly two hours he held them with ease, moving them at will either to profound silence or to laughter. The Windsor citizens have angered that Dr Reed return April 7th and deliver his message in the court house of Bertie County, that the whole town may hear him. March the 9th and 10th, Dr. Reed spoke in Plymouth, N. C., to crowds no less in numbers and enthusiasm, who urged on him a return engagement' which was set for March 22nd. March 12th, Dr. Reed spoke at Edenton, N. C., three times. His first message was delivered at the Gale Street Baptist church, Rev. Dr. Owens, pastor. About which Dr. Owens said, "It was profound, humorous, practical and instructive, it was just what we need." At 3:30 and 8 p.m., Dr. Reed spoke with Dr. Owens, Baptist church, Rev. Dr. J. A. Lewis, pastor. Using the language of Pastor Lewis, "They were two powerful messages, his doctrine will save the race." Dr. Reed will speak in Rocky Mount, March 26, 27, 29, at the Mt. Zion Baptist church, Rev. Dr. J. A. Brown, pastor. N. A. A. C. P. Takes Hand In Michigan Senatorial Contest Senate. Colored people throughout the United States want the Dyer Bill enacted into law. They know that such eminent Constitutional lawyers as Attorney General Daughtery and Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association, as well as former-Senator now Representative Burton of Ohio, hold the proposed legislation to be contained. We want the eminent authority in favor of the Dyer Bill, colored people hold that the final decision on its constitutionality must be left to the Supreme Court. Under the circumstances they are not disposed to accept Representative Kelley's excuse that he voted against the Dyer Bill because as he claims, in a letter published in the Michigan State News of March, 9, 1922, "every lawyer knows that Congress has no jurisdiction over the subject matter." That lawyers as well as laymen know otherwise may be demonstrated to Mr. Kelley in the course of his campaign. Whatever may happen, the other of the three colored Americans will have in mind that the Dyer Bill constitutes an issue of supreme importance to orderly government in the United States.

Points Out To Michigan Newspaper's That Representative Patrick J. Kelley Voted Against Dyer Bill. New York.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today announced that a letter was being sent to the most important newspapers in the State of Michigan pointing out that in the approaching contest for Senator Townsend's seat in the United States Senate was a man who had voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill at the House of Representatives. That man is Representative Patrick J. Kelley from the Sixth Congressional District. The letter sent to the Michigan newspaper Tolls: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its friends in the State of Michigan are interested in the contest for Senator Townsend's seat in the United States Senate. This interest has been aroused because Representative Patrick H. Kelley, of the Sixth Michigan Congressional Dist., who has announced his candidacy against Senator Townsend, opposed and voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, which was passed 239 to 119 by the House and is now before the James Weldon Johnson, Secretary, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Home Office Building Maintains Successful Chiropractic School Cleveland, Ohio.—A growing institution of the race, now in its fifth year, is located in the city of Cleveland, Ohio.

Senator Mapp made, an eloquent plea, urging the legislature to_ wipe ‘out racial ‘prejudice in education, because lack of educa tion is a drawback to both races. This is of the character of real statesmanship, more of which we need not only in’ the iegislature of Virginia but in the National Con- gress. : 7 A great many politicians do not seem to understand that the public schosls are maintained by public taxation, te which the poorest citizen contributes as much ns the richest, a3 one man produces and consumes’ as much as auother man, to more and no less, those who buy and sell labor and its products getting their profit and interest on thelr capital out of the labor and products of Iahor they Bay and cell. That is the reductio ad absurdum of the ‘Suestion. Again: A groat many politicians imagine that our white fellow-citizens can be dragged up by dragging our black follow-citizens down, and that they can degrade and humiliate the latter without degrading and humiliating the former, but they can't do that. It is written in The Book that they cannot. Another group of politicians imagines that it is cheap- ex to maintain jails ond penitentiaries and convict cames than to maintain schools, but they are in the same class ‘with those who believe that better morals are developed for the whole people by maintaining saloons and dance halls than by maintaining churches and social uplite works. Such people do not look beyond their noses and never look above their eyebrows. Left to them, morals, ivies and ceanomies would dirft on the rocks and smash, dragging the State into destruction. * Let us build school Houses instead of jails; let u: build churehes instead’ of saloons and dance halls; Ict us Inbor for the highest and best education and moralit for all the people and in doing so we shall best serve our country and our generation. And may statesmen such us Senator Mapp and Sen ator Coolrick increase and grow fat with honors in the State of Virginia and the Nation. THE DOUGLASS LEAGUE ‘We think that it is « good und proper thing that the Douglass League has been organized ut Trenton, New Jersey, with T. Thomas Fortune ax president; Robert Queen, Attorney at law, as secretary, und Johnathan C. Gibbs, M. D., as chairman of the executive committee, and thot an effort will be made to organize local units of the-league in all parts of the country, any twelve or more persons being nuthorized to organize such a local unit. ‘The objects of the Douglass League appeal to the sentiment and best interests of the race. The League will celebrate unnually, on the 14th of February, the birth of Frederick Douglass, the nblest and cleanest Jeader the Afro-American people huve produced, and a greater than whom they are not likely to produce. simply ‘Wecause the times and the great moral issues whien brought him forth and made him our outstanding figure in the fight to free the slave. will not ever come again in the life of the race. The league will also concern it- self with the social, civic and economic interests of the Face as occasion may require, and may easily become a rallying conter for debates, concerts. lectures, and the Tike, for the betterment and uplift of the people. The ‘non-partisan character of the League ix an important feature, as local leagues are left free to pursue the pol- icy best suited to them in their severnl localities, When a sufficient number of local leagues have been organized a National meeting will be held and a permanent or- ganization perfected. ‘There is no reason why Afro-Americans should every year confuse the celebration of Frederick Douglass’ birthday with that of Abraham Lincoln's, Donglasa was everything to us and Lincoln was only so mach to us as he is to all Americans alike, a great statesman who saved the Union and signed the Proclamation of Emancipation ag a war measure, and not primarily because he wanted to free the slave with whom withal he greatly sympa: thized. ‘The young people of the race in every generatior need the inspiration of the grent name and achievment: and splendid home virtues of Frederick Douglass, anc ‘the magnificent group of race men and women co-worker: ‘with him in tho Anti-Slavery straggle. They can get this ingplratioh inno botter and surer way than in ealebratin: ‘ip nital diy once a year and working all the other day for the sokfal, civic aid cconomie welfare of the race.

It is significant that Mr. Mellon has been very conservative heretofore in speaking of the return of het~ ter times. His lntest utterance seems to have weight be- cause he has spoken with some degree of certainty. He seems to have reasons sufficient to warrant his state- ment. We hope he speaks advisedly. To the people of Pittsburgh his words are unnec- essary; for we huve the announcement thnt the Mellon Nationul Bank fs ready to brenk ground for a new home for the institution, ‘The new home is to cost $3,000.000. AN Pittsburgh has been waiting this announcement, It ix generally conceded that Mr. Mellon does not venture fon dangerous ground. For some time it has been under- ‘stood that a new home. was to be erected for the grow- ing bunking business of the Mellon interests. Business fon have aatd that when Bf, Mellon hegina to spend soot ey, better times are assured. Tt is complimentary to Mr. Mellon that business men wait upon his judgement in matters financial. His posts tion in the government makes hix words and deeds all the more significant. If he says times are to improve, it is a fair presumption that he is correct. And the country awaits this promised improvement. ‘To endure a season of dire want in n country considered the richest on enrth seems just a little inconsistent; and yet that ix just what han confronted the American peoptc for several months. ‘The improved markets, x more heolthy tivity in Insiness as predicted by Mr. Mellon will do more to allay the unrest of the people than any- thing Congcress can do by debate or vote.

MILLIONS IN TOBACCO SMOKE A very large number of the readers of the JOURNAL axp Guivr are interested in tobacco, as producers, or ap consumers of the weed. Just why it should be produced and just why it should be consumed as it is not an ar- ticle of necessity but of-luxury, sind as poisonous in-its way as alcoholic. ligours, coffee, and the long’ list of opiates has never been sétisfactorily explained. We pro- duce it and use it, not only in the United States but in most of the countries of the modern world. A statement of. the- American Tobacco. Company, one of many tobacco concerns, for 1921 will show to what extent tobacco’ is used, as follows: : “Total income was $20,068,174; after taxes, com- pared with $18,616,898 in 1920. Balance after all charges was $18,264,654, which, after providing for preferred dividends, is equal to $16.84 a share on $89,586,~ 600 common stock, compared with $13,38 a share: in 1920. ‘Total sales last yenr were $155,963,752, as against $143,- 106,882 in 1920. Net earnings on sales were $18,117,296 in the preceeding year. Preferred dividends amounted to $8,161,982, and dividends on both classes of common stock to $10,748,783, leaving a surplus for the year of $4,344,949." Previous surplus was $14,655,000, and final surplus after adjustments was $14,749,607.” Tobacco users, instead of being on the decrease, are ‘on the increase. It is quite wonderful how tobacco chew- ing has declined. Fifty years ago most tobacco users were chewers; now most of them are smokers. Again pipe smoking used to be the proper thing; now cigar and cigarette smoking ts the proper thing, although pipe- ‘smokers are still a very strong group | Will mankind turn against the tobacco habit as it has turned against the strong drink habit?

Fannie Kemble, the-actress, married a slave holder’ and-eame from free England to etislaved Georgia.

Stephen Graham has ‘no such intimate knowledge as Fannie-Kemble possessed,-but he did his best while in America to see con- ditions as they really exist; and his many years of travel among other peoples—he has written a number of books upon Russia—makes him a wise ‘and well balanced observer. Some of the readers of Book Chat doubtless met him when he was col lecting material for, “The: Soul of John Brown,” a striking looking man with reddiah hair, worn a trifle long and a gentle-though strong face. Re- Igious in’the best sense of the word, he believes that “only Christianity can save color.” But there is some- ‘thing of the militant Christian about him when he tells us that “there is such’ a thing as the wrath of God, land it is-iot incompatible with Di- vine Fatherhood and all merciful Providence.’ John Brown is his he- ro and he ehds his book by saying: ‘John Brown himself if he should re- appear would not be sweetened. by ‘what he saw’happening in the world, His soul goes marching on, but it is still’the soul of vengeance and wrath. ‘To prepare -for the writing of this book Stpheh Grahom spent some time inNew York—we at the N.

Diane, I want to give me your advice. I have two sisters larger than myself and one little sister, she is the baby. They love her the best. I am the age of 13 years. What would you do? Would you say anything to or let them eat—ANXIQUES. Little one, you are jealous and the older ones are a little to blame. Listen to me. When you were the baby they were the same to you as they were the baby they were fears and help them love the little sister. What a jolly family you should be with four sisters. Do you go to school? Write me again. What do you think of all the fuss folk make over "the babies" likeness? Have they always done this? —A NEW MOTHER. I will answer your last question first. I do not know if this has al-mahzad, the case by which he mains it. Do not worry about, whom the baby favors. The Bible says, "I will visit the iniquity of the fathers unto the children of the third and fourth generations of them that hate me and show mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandment, so that they like us but they may be like their great, great grandparents. Live right, do right and your babies will be alright. RELIGION. THEN WHAT Do you think we are sincere in our religious demonstrations? It seems to me we are the least blessed in this worlds goods of all races, and make more fuss than any one. CHRISTIAN. Oh ye of little faith can, you not see it is not the heights to which He brought us, but the depths from which we came. The farther up the side of the mountain you are, the shorter the distance to the top. We were in the valley and nothing but a God could have brought us where we are. Of course some people are afraid of the mountains but our blessings are so much more wonderful than other folks we are compelled to speak out some times. Do not be shamed of your religion or of the old shouting Methodist. We honor our heroes and make a fuss over them. Christ is the world's savior. We cannot say or do enough. Dgar Miss Dixon: What is real charity? We give to this and that in the 'name of charity and some times it seems to me that we give amiss. SINGERCE We have the courage whatever we give in the name of right, keep this in mind. However, real charity is in the name of those who cannot help themselves. The Looking Glass Mrs. Dixon: I appreciate your answers in the Woman's Department of this paper and think they are honest and as they should be. I read your department first. Now this has always puzzled me. When a man says he wants you to be (we are all sinners, but some break the conventional laws more than others) what should be our attitude? I wish to be Christ-like as well as lady-like. —LUENIA. Luvenia, by our necissas, owning as better than Jesus. If such a one joins your church, shake her hand each time you meet her, say a kind word (not condescendingly) ask her to prayer meeting, invite her to join the missionary society. In short give her a real welcome. The precious body of Jesus was unointed in his Christ. We are not good so good as He. Ask HIM IN Dear Mrs. Dixon: Is it improper to ask a young man into the home after a show, provided the family HENLEN. For goodness sake, no, aside from this it is done in the bebes regulated hmes. Yet there was a time when you'd dare not do such a thing and hope to keep your good name. But you don't. You might ask your dad, because he might disagree with me and cause trouble A DEFINATION Mrs. Dixon: What is meant by the word Commander as used in England? I saw in the Ladies' Home Journal that the only Princess of England married a Commander. A Commander in the English term, means a person outside of the Royal group of males from which Princesses are (according to tradition) supposed to chose husbands. This is not Webster's definition, it is one made so you (whoever you are) may understand. Ho is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Selden. BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. Miss Alice Locille Smith, was the hostess on Tuesday, March 14, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith, 1706 Hunter Street; in honor of her birthday anniversary.

Taylor, Leon Braswell, Charlie Jones, William Tiles, Alfred Fuller, Cland Johnson, Walter Cruitt, Samuel Ross, James Whitfield Arthur, Willie. ARE WE IN TROUBLE Nedles and pins, needles and pins, When a man marries his troubles begin. Do you believe this? If so why are people so unixious to marry? Are you married? And do you find this true? —JAMES. Change your rhyme to read: Nedles and pins, needles and pins, when man marries begins, and you have. Yes I am married and no I have not found this true. While marriage has its cares so has a single life. There are thorns as well as roses whichever way we choose to live. THE BABY'S CLOTHES Dear Madam: I am a young mother and an orphan. I hear so many different things about shortening my babie's clothes that I cannot decide what to do. She is three months old. MARION. If ever, well I said ask, every thing, and I believe you are about to take me at my word. A baby born not later than January 15, should have its clothes shortened the last day of May. The only thing to avoid in changing from long to short clothes is the beginning of autumn or mid-winter. Virginia, your letter will be answered in the next issue. OUT OF THE SKILLET Half dozen cakes from a single recipe. 1 teaspoonful flavoring 2½ cupfuls flour 2½ teaspoonfuls baking powder 4 evens Cream butter and sugar together, sift dry ingredients, add same to eggs and sugar. If batter seems too heavy add milk, then flavoring. This cake may be baked in one laboratory and cooked in two jelly cake pans, and coveted with chocolate. It may serve as a good all the year fruit cake by adding as many fruits as you have and a pinch of cinnamon. After making the foundation divide in three parts, color one chocolate milk, colored in one creamier.) Pour all three in one greased tin and you have a pretty marble cake. Walnut cake can be made by using one-half the quantity of butter and adding: old fashioned walnuts. Stir this batter real quick one day and toss in a few floured drizzles. A mid-week cake of this kind will keep the children home. Thanks all of you for writing. Some are writing, others start now. What is the matter with our department, do not be afraid to tell us. We want to stop the leak. We like hard knocks, they make us cautious. The Woman's Department is here to stay, look for it. When you get your paper turn to the Woman's Department first. The Woman's Department is either growing better or worse if you don't say worse we will say better. Where are the talking women? See the Woman's Department of this paper. Somebody said to us the other day that the people of a certain state were more kind and sociable than those of Virginia. That is not all they let change. Woman is herself! We welcome change. Make the stranger welcome, don't shake his finger tips, shake his hand. Read The Looking Glass this week you may see yourself, if not, I know you will see the other follow. What does Woman herself? By keeping in the Looking Glass of the Woman's Department. Do men read the Woman's Department? Judging from the letters they write, they do. This department will serve as a matrimonial bureau for those desiring to meet the woman of your choice in English all letters, but withhold the names. Special letters must be accompanied by address. Send all communications for the Woman's Department to Miriam Dixon on care Journal and Guide, Highland Avenue. See by the papers that the girls of women are wearing wrist vanity cages instead of watches. Get busy girls and find one, don't 'em leave you. It is the aim of the editor of the Woman's Page to do and say something case the way for some traveler on the path of life. If every woman would think when serving a good man (hungry) or on donning comfortable clothing (is there anyone near me too scantily clad) we would have a glorious community in a few years. Selfishness is the monster found in the homes of the better classes of all people and we are planning through the columns of our department a missionary work. It will not cost anything to join except your name, address and pledge to help some one in any way that presents itself. Our motto will be, "Help Us to Help Each Other." Will say more next week.

Yet, the glory of the past and the hope of the future rest in the fact that, although often in the minority, there has been a body of Americans who in season and out, have labored that Christian good. will, instead of brutal force, should determine the relation of our national life to Negro citizens. “Half. a thousand missionary schools, institutes, and colleges, have pioneer- ed Negro education when many peo- ple did not believe the race could master advanced knowledge. These institutions laid the foundation for Nerro public schools,furnished teach- ere for them, and Nave equipped an able company of present-day Negro Jeaders in church, school, and com- munity life, Progress in industry, arty tgriculture, literature, science and religion among Negroes is lead- ing many white leaders to say, that the time has come when they should no longer work for the Negroes but with them for the best and largest achievements of the new day. | In other words, we: have arrived at the time of real racial co-operation.

Dempsey-Wills Match Probable Tom Gibbons and Harry Greh Eliminated As Contestants For Try At Title. (The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—If those boys who have been snapping at the heels of Jack Dempsey don't stop quarrelling among themselves, Jack may have to go thru with his threaa and hop across the big drink and battle some of the boys in Europe. Tom Gibbons and Harry Greh stepped out in Madison Square Garden last night and when it was all over two more candidates who might have been considered as opponents for Dempsey were eliminated. Of course Greb dusted off Tom to a queen's taste but he didn't show enough stuff to warrant a combo with the big heavyweight champion. Looks like if the challenge field is left to Harry Wills, the big Colored heavyweight. Harry loom larger than ever as the boy they will have to pick on to do business with Dempsey the next time the big For clubs and Y. M. C.

It is generally conceded that Wills would have to match with Dempsey. He has the physique and experience and would appeal to the folks who want an even arrangement when Dempsey is asked to defend his title again. International Vaudeville Road Show Held Over By Popular Demand. Best Show of Its Kind Ever. Staged At This Popular Playhouse. The best vaudeville bill ever staged at the Attucks held the boards here this week tended by Frank Mont- gomery and Florence McClaim in a comedy skit, whose act was a "knock out" from start to finish. It was new, original and classy and received the heartiest approval of those who saw it. The Royal Imperial Japanese Group, Toki's Jans, in aerobic stunts stood entirely in a class by themselves. Never before have such marvellous feats as they performed been seen in an up-town theatre. They wave the audience thrill after thrill which literally carried them off their set. Byke Thomas another artist on the ill is one of the wittiest comedians in these parts. His act is clean and he does not permit a dull moment the time he appears before the footlights. Thomas is a wonder—a chole show within himself. Next came the Sally Group of Aerobats with their blood curdling stunts which made the audience hold air breath until it seemed their hearts would stop beating. Added to these features the Bill carried a feat- ture ever day. So well pleased were the patrons of the theatre with the show and requests have been so numerous that the company be held over for an another week the management of the Attucks as engaged them for next week. While the same company is held over an entirely new bill will be presented. Two shows will be given each night, seven and nine o'clock. If you miss seeing the International Vaudeville 'layers you'll miss a real treat. Edith Wilson Inherited the Indian Whoop That's Why She Makes Such A Good "Blues" Singer; Her New Hits On Columbia Records. Edith Wilson, the popular colored "blues" artist whose songs are produced on Columbia records, was born on a ranch in Oklahoma. Edith's mother being a Cherokee Indian, it is not surprising that Edith inherited the "whoop"—nowadays known as the "blues." Edith sang almost all the time. Neighbors would frequently ask her mother what those catchy tunes were that Edith sang. Edith's mother would only answer, "I don't know Chile, but it sounds good." Recently someone played one of Edith's new records for Mother Wilson: After listening to it for a few moments, she remarked: "That ain't nothing but the tunes she used to hum all the time." Be that as it may, it is those "tunes that she used to hum" that have made Edith Wilson famous as a "blues" singer. Edith has been playing in vaudeville for a number of years, first as a member of the team of Wilson and Goodall, and later as a part of the Wilson trio. The Columbia Graphophone Co., recognizing Edith's talent engaged her to produce Columbia Records. All her records have been big hits. Her new February record is "Old Time Blues" on one side and "Frankie" on the other. Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds aid in putting Edith's hits over by their wonderful accompaniment. They play the "blues" just like Edith sings them. THEATRICAL MEN FIGHT NEWSPAPERS (The Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich.—Local Colored members of the theatrical profession have started a fight on the newspapers of the city claiming that they are giving undue and unfair publicity to crime in which Negroes are participants. The angry actors are calling attention to small space the papers give to African American ministers in their columns as against headlines they give Negro cases. Lack of sufficient sleep makes persons susceptible to pneumonia and influenza, declare leading physicians. Fifteen hundred Irishmen are serving sentences of penal servitude for opposing British rule.
