President Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention (Baptist) AMERICANS STUDY NEEDS OF LIBERIA Dr. C. S. Brown, of Lott Carey Convention Commission, Describes Conditions In Negro Republic As He Found Them. GREAT WEALTH DORMANT THERE (BY C. S. BROWN) Forty years ago, or more I became personally interested in the republic of Liberia. I was then a student in Shaw University, and became the secretary of an organization that was formed to send Rev. J. O. Hayes over as a missionary. Since that time my interest in Liberia in foreign affairs has constantly increased. Twenty-five years ago, I was elected president of the Lott-Carey Foreign Mission Convention, and through my recommendation, this organization has centered its efforts in Liberia. As the work grew, and needed more direct supervision, I urged that a commission be appointed to visit Africa, inspect the field, and tell the missionary work more effective. At our annual meeting last year in Newark, N. J., Dr. A. A. Graham, our secretary, and the writer were unanimously elected to go at the earliest date on the mission mentioned above. Accordingly we left New York December 2nd, and reached our destination February 21st, one day ahead of schedule time. As already stated, what we ought to be done to facilitate missionary effort in the republic. I shall endeavor to give your readers the benefit of our observations with the hope that they will become more deeply interested in the moral, spiritual, educational and material welfare of this great section of Africa which lies so near to the hearts of all American Negroes. Our notes must be necessary be brief. We probably need our observations in three installments. In the first place, let me advise that no one undertake this trip for pleasure. Those who do so will deeply regret having done so. It is a long hard sea voyage. Go, if business calls you; go as missionaries, settlers and capitalists. Otherwise stay away from Africa. REPUBLIC 100 YEARS OLD Liberia, as you know, is the only Negro republic in the great continent of Africa; the rest of that vast country, several times larger than the United States, has been parceled out among the European States. Liberia was founded one hundred years ago, and is governed by black men. In America is about six million and has a civilized and native population numbering nearly three millions. The natives outnumber the civilians four to one. We were surprised to learn that along the entire ocean front of the republic there is not a single dock where ocean steamers can discharge passengers and cargo. A steamer reaching any port must anchor some miles out from the coast and passengers must be boarded out on "surf boats" a very unpleasant experience. After your ship has anchored, it will require two or three hours to get ashore. The city of Monrovia, as you view on the steamer's deck, presents a good view, but on entering the city you will conclude "that distance lends enchantment to the scene." There are some neat and attractive homes and buildings, the government building but the streets are in horrible shape. Great rocks and stones fill the streets; they have never been taken out. There are scarcely any sidewalks. The city looks neglected; it is with difficulty that one makes his way through many of the streets. NEED BETTER ROADS There are no public roads running out into the interior, or connecting town together-only trails or footpaths, as the chief modes of travel is that of walking. You can, however, reach the interior in surf boats, or steam launches that go up St. Paul river thirty or forty miles away. OFFER There is but one post office in the republic, and that is Monrovia, the capitol city.

Mob Hesitated Then yielded to Passon For Blood. LAW AUTHORITIES HAD NO CHANCE Fairfield, Texas—Citizens here are still discussing—many in doubtful tones—the burning at the stake early Saturday morning of Snop Curry, Moses Jones and John Cornist, by a mob of more than a thousand men, women and small boys, for the murder of 17 year old Eula King, granddaughter of John King, wealthy farmer of Kirven, a small town near this city. There is much doubt at the guilt of Jones and Cornish, who were implicated in the confession wrung from Curry by infurred members of the mob, who obtained the admission of guilt by putting the terrified Negro through the most gruelling third degree methods possible. HORRIBLE CRIME The crime for which Curry, Jones and Cornish were put to death was the most horrible ever committed in this county. The young girl was returning from school, carried into a thicket, criminally assaulted and murdered. Her body was not found until 8 o'clock the following morning. Two WHITES ARRESTED At first suspicion pointed to two white men, Claude and Andie Crowell and they were arrested and were being held in jail when a stronger suspect pointed to Snap Curry, a colored farm hand on the King plantation. -- WIFE'S REMARK SET MOB UPON HIM Curry visited the scene of the crime the next morning after the girl's body was found, and listened to the excited and horrified citizens discussing the details of the crime. One overheard his wife remark that Snap came in late the night before and washed something like blood off his hands and clothes. In the meantime Curry had started afoot in the house, and posses set out after him he managed to elude his pursuers, who were using blood hounds brought to the scene by aeroplane. About sunset he was taken in custody by a colored man about four miles of Wortham and then him over to the police, who brought him to this city and placed him in jail. ACCUSED OTHERS Curry made a statement at Wortham implicating John Cornish and Mose Jones and officers at once arrested them at Kirven and took them to the Fairfield jail. Hundreds of citizens began arriving at the county seat, and a committee was allowed by the sheriff to enter the jail and help in the examination. Mr. Curry, after questioning the prisoner, the committee then reported to the crowds in the streets, who were growing constantly, and it was demanded that the three prisoners be given up and taken back to the scene of the crime at Kirven. A vacant lot nearby was repaired to and soon probably 50 men began carrying wood and other inflammable materials to hold the Negroes友善 heavy wood hold the Negroes was brought out and Snap Curry was first chained to it and oil and gasoline poured over the wood. MOB HESITATED Curry was burned first. Then Varney and Jones. There was some delay in burning the last two insnusch as they steadfastly maintained their innocence. Third degree methods failed to bring a confession from them, and the attack created the strength of Curry's testimony. After the third Negro had ben burned to a crisp, all three bodies were piled together and a mass of fuel and oil flung over them. This was ignited, the flames soaring 25 or 30 feet in the air, and the flames were still burning fiercely. After burning for several minutes Curry was asked again if the other two Negroes were guilty, and he answered that they were equally guilty with him. In the meantime the gray-haired grandmother in patrol in appearance arrived upon the premises and a most affecting scene took place. In a shaking voice the old man questioned the two remaining Negroes and told the crowd he was convinced they were guilty. As the sun began to break in the east the last two Negroes and soon ceased to struggle. A crowd of spectators including a number of women, and children witnessed the close of the executions.

Rich, treasurer, Norfolk Colored Relief Committee, announces the following additional contributions to the Berkley Fire Relief Fund: $1,033 Southern Aid Society. Grove Baptist ch. (Ports).

B. and A. railroad, declared that he fired on the mob of white youths who attacked him Sunday afternoon in the railroad yards here, in defense of his life. The young white men, according to Hunt and witnesses of the affair, had chased him for several hundred yards, threatening to kill him and other colored men for working for the clash during Walton. As a result of the clash, Dan Walton, white, is dead; two other white men and Albert Everett, colored, are seriously injured, the latter having been shot by police officers. According of witnesses, Hunt was on his way to the railroad yard office when he was accosted by a group of men who were trying to assault the railroad yards. They began to abuse him for working for the railroad, and when Hunt answered them began to pelt him with rocks. The porter ran and was followed by the gang. Reaching the yard office he secured a shot gun and fired upon his men, and the railroad yard Hunt was joined by two men, while the whites were augmented by sympathizers. The battle between the men, both sides using rocks and guns, continued until a riot call brought a squad of police to the scene. H. Puckett, white, yardmaster for the A. B. and A. railroad, and C. W.

SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 JIBERIA FROM AN AFRO- AMERICAN'S VIEWPOINT Much has been printed recently in American newspapers and magazines about Liberia, the only Negro-governed State in Africa. The negotiations with the United States government for a loan of $5,000,000 have been the occasion for much of the discussion. As Liberia was settled by American Negroes there is quite naturally a keen interest on the part of Afro-Americans in Liberian affairs. Then occasionally some one suggests the migration of American Negroes to Liberia, a suggestion which is never received with much enthusiasm. Dr. C. S. Brown, president, and Dr. A. A. Graham, secretary of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention returned last month from a trip to Liberia, where they were sent by the Convention on an inspection tour. In this week's issue of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE appears the first of a series of articles by Dr. Brown giving his impressions of the African republic. Readers of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE will want to follow these articles closely as they are from the pen of a keen and experienced observer, one capable of writing with accuracy and authority. FAIR ASSOCIATION The Afro-Americans of Norfolk and the surrounding country are to be congratulated upon the incorporation of the Norfolk Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair Association, which will hold its first Fair September 13th to 16th, inclusive. Dr. Pacey and his associates have given the people an institution which should be, of the greatest advantage to all concerned. They deserve the combined co-operation of the people to the end that the association may grow in usefulness, and years of usefulness. Not only will the people have an opportunity to display their products of whatever sort, for the education and pleasure of the whole people, but persons in various lines of amusement will be called upon to display their talents and abilities for the admiration and inspiration of others. Fairs should be highly educative in their annual display of agricultural and industrial products of all sorts; they should also serve to bring the people closer together and to insure them to improve upon the things they produce, which are necessary and useful, and which others may purchase, fairs being great advertising mediums. We are sure the Norfolk Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair Association should have a long and useful existence. It will have it if the people shall support the officials of it and if the officials shall make the fair all that it should be. THE HARDING ADMINISTRATION IN THE STORM We all had high hopes of the administration of President Warren G. Harding. We had had eight years of Democratic administration of National affairs, and great discontent had grown up because of the mistakes and failures of the administration before and after the world war. It was hoped that by turning the Democrat out by a larger and more emphatic vote than had ever been given against a party that the party which had been so favored would settle down seriously to the business of relieving the taxpayers of the burdens that weighed so heavily upon them, of placing our foreign relations upon a more satisfactory basis, and of getting the eleven billion dollar debt of European States to us so shaped that we could at least get the interest and be assured of the principal; but, after more than a year of cross purposes, little has been accomplished to satisfy the expectations of the people, neither the foreign nor domestic policies coming up to those expectations. Afro-Americans were given to understand at the beginning of the administration that they need not expect anything from the administration which could be refused them; that they were not to be appointed to offices in the South nor in the departments in Washington where they would be instructed to oversee small business in the administration. and the party, anyhow, if they should divide their voting strength among the parties, as other racial groups of the citizenship divide theirs. the electors. Senators and members of Congress who are to be re-elected this year are trembling in their boots because of the unfavorable attitude of their constituents to them and the administration, because of the unsatisfactory results accomplished, and are wondering what is going to happen to them. When former Senator Alfred J. Beveridge beat Senator Harry S. New clean off the slate in the primary voting, May 3, in Indiana, it is said that the Republican leaders in Washington were thrown into a panic, because they did not expect any such administration reverse. Senator New being very close to the President. Now the senators and representatives who are to stand for reelection do not know what to expect. It has been pointed out that the main trouble is to be found in the fact that they have no commanding leadership. The one party is bad off as the other in this respect, but the Republicans stand to suffer most because of it in the Congress elections this year. What we think they both need is more principle and less personal selfishness and greed. PROMOTION IN THE POSTAL SERVICE In all of the employments in the United States, including the Federal service, there is an unwritten law that Afro-American employees, however capable and dependable, cannot expect to receive promotion and increase of salary beyond a certain limit. There have been exceptions, but they have been very rare and far between. We all know that who have struggled through the long years, with no hope of getting beyond the place in service where we started. It is an awful blight upon the hope which every person entertains to rise to higher and better conditions in his living. It is only in business enterprises of our own that we can hope for the recognition of superior capacity and dependability and the advancement in the service which naturally follows; it is on that account, among many others, that we have made business initiative and developments to be the first and most important business of the past and the present generation. The splendid development of the small business concern, the druggist, the banking and the insurance business, the real estate operatives and the building and loan associations, are all due to the disposition of the race to have the opportunity to serve to the best advantage and to receive the usual advancement in the service. For example, we have thousands of postal employees all over the country. They got into the service through the civil service competitive system. These employees are a large, capable and efficient body of people, in the line of promotion; but that which they get as such is the increase of pay, up to a certain point, based upon length of service. They are seldom advanced in the departments they serve, as white persons who got into the service in the same way they did. And, we understand, we have been nearly run out of the Railway Mail Service by a union of the white clerks, who do not wish to serve in the same postal cars with colored clerks. This came about in the time of Postmaster General Burleson of Texas, in the two administrations of President Woodrow Wilson. We do not understand that the Republican Postmaster General has removed the ban. The promotion of Alexander King from a clerkship in the Wall Street Station, in New York City, to be assistant superintendent of College Station, is creating a lot of fine comment, because of the rarity of such promotions in the postal service; but the fact of the matter is that Mr. King was assistant superintendent of the Wall Street Station when the Wilson Administration came in and was demoted by the postmaster appointed by President Wilson. He was a candidate and eligible to be superintendent of College Station, and would have got the promotion if he had been a white man. This sort of thing should not prevail in the Federal service, but it does, not only in the postal but in all other branches of the Federal service, and in the foreign and domestic appointments made only by the President. While we are waiting and fighting to have the Government and public service corporations and private business concerns square themselves in giving us employment and the usual advancement as they do others let us continue to hang together in building our own business enterprises, in which every thing is open to us from bottom to top. Stray Thoughtlets (BY J M. HARRISON) Some of the "Rappings" heard by Sir Conan Doyle are not from the spirit world. That lynching of three men in Texas was described as "Orderly." Wonder what a disorderly one would be like? Speaking of drinks, we do not believe Senator Newt Kirk has Beaverhead. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE AMERICANS STUDY NEEDS OF LIBERIA (Continued from Page One) out in the "hinter land" are completely isolated from civilization. In fact, you do not have to leave the city to get among the heathen or native people. Perhaps three out of every four people you meet in Monrovia are heathen, and "Kroo Town," within the city limits, is about as primitive as any village fifty miles in "the bush." Therefore, on entering the country, you will be astonished at the undeveloped condition of things, and will wonder what those who control affairs have been doing during the past one hundred years. It is generally conceded that Liberia is rich in natural resources, and afford a splendid foundation on which to build a strong and effective government. The white traders who are exploiting Africa, and bringing out for personal benefit the fine wood, hides, palm products, gold and diamonds, tell you that Liberia is the richest section in wealth, producing products on the West Coast of Africa. They do not hesitate also to tell you that the only thing that keeps Europe from swallowing up Liberia is that they do not wish to offend the United States. RICH IN NATURAL RESOURCES As we have traveled through the jungles and observed the coffee trees, the bread fruit trees, the palm trees, the "Kasaba" bushes, the orange, banana, and grape fruit trees, the splendid forests of hard wood and mahogany, we could well see why all Europe is coveting Liberia. We talked with the leaders of all ranks and stations, both white and black about the possibilities of Liberia and about what would be necessary to make the country strong and prosperous. They would say: "Open up the university and develop her prosperous." This can not be done till the civilized Liberians themselves become more interested in the development of their resources. The theory of human development are all the same. Scissored CURBING CONTEMPT FOR COLOR There is a resolution before the Massachusetts legislature to memorize Congress in favor of the passage of the so-called Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which gives the Federal Government jurisdiction in certain parts of the country over situations in which the danger of lynching is involved and the violence of granting protection to our Negro citizens, and, in fact, assuring Constitutional protection of the due process of law to all our citizens is too plain to need discussion. The colored population of the world is beginning to come into its own. We heard the other day of the Negro regiment from Jamaica to the order of the British to ask for India to help to help the English hold down in their misery and oppression the people of India. We are making enemies for ourselves beyond our borders, and enemies which may become important enemies, by our practice of lynchings, perhaps more important than all, we are losing the respect of the thoughtful, just and discriminating people of the world by this practice of lawlessness and brutality.—Washington Times. Briefs and Spices These are trying days for many people. Especially those people who imagine themselves the center of gravity. --- Having become fed-up on the "drives" during the war, it requires only a slight stretch of the imagination to ascertain why our rising generation boycotts conferences. The war veteran who/made the smallest radio receiver out of his pocketbook probably did so unconsciously while making use of discarded articles. --- An impression prevails that jazz is a passing fancy. We note however, that it's mostly among those who don't know the new dances. Our idea of a wide awake reformer is one who invents a solution that will obviate the annoyance of fat people squeezing past you as practiced in the movies. "ATTA BOY" Each morning of our life brings a problem or two. Not to be scoffed at but solved. We must work away like a child at play.

FABLE: Once upon a time there was a chorus girl who sang, "There's No Place Like Home," with so much pathos that the audience encored her. Now you tell one. The tremendous reception accorded Harry Wills in Washington, D. C., when he appeared in a benefit performance for Virginia school is an indication of just how far her worshipers can advertise a worthy cause. JOY: The peculiar feeling a man has when he discovers the wife had the spring cleaning done by someone else. ABOUT NOW'S THE TIME. wealth is in the soil and forests. The governors, cabinet officers, etc. The country needs to be opened up. Liberin needs men of push, pluck, and money. We stopped with a Mr. Faulkner, of Warrington, N. C., who has the vision, and is doing things. He has installed electric lights, a telephone system, runs an ice plant, and a good hotel in Monrovia. A dozen men like him would add greatly to the prosperity of the country. Will say more in next issue. Winton, N. C. School Activities B. T. WASHINGTON HIGH In a contest in the 3-A. English Class held recently the following informal essays were selected as best: My chief hobby is reading: I have my literary companions divided into two classes. All novels and romances are classed as "bubbles." The classics and magazines I call "common sense." My "bubbles" are an everlasting source of delight until I have my "common sense" moods. In my travels through Bookville I meet with many interesting people and things I am an unseen companion, sharing their adventures and thrills. With the villian I am different, I am ever ready to destroy his plots of destruction. One of my greatest disappointments in reading is to find the character of a girl not like them. Then it is just one of my whims to make an imaginary ending. I like to picture the characters of "bubbles" as modern twentieth century people One topic under "common sense" in which my interest never lags are wonders of astronomy. My imagination carries me on many tours to these wonders in which I am absorbed for many hours. In classics I always picture the characters as they dressed during the time of Queen Elizabeth. The ladies wear full long skirts and tight fitting waists. Their hair is pompadoured high on their heads and finished off with jeweled combes and large, large nats covered with different colored feathers. Their velvet suits with ruffles at the wrists and neck and buckles at the knee are mostly colored in black, brown and blue. The men suggests strong character in their bronze faces. They all have heavy, dark mustache. Most of them live in massive stone structures with dark curtains and expensive but exquisite mahogany furniture. Stories of adventure appeal to me as much as novels and classice. The mystery contained in them keeps me in suspense until the end. In such stories I never try to imagine the end if I am interrupted. For most likely my solution is wrong. Some times I imagine the climax different and more intense. I find it much easier to think than to put my thoughts on paper. I once tried to write a story; but I had no events to lead up to the climax, so I reached the climax almost at the beginning. So my story turned out so badly I am contented to read other people's thoughts. Since then I have never tried to write another story. MY FIRST DAY AT BOARDING SCHOOL (Ruth Poole) When I arrived in Baltimore it was about half past five in the morning. I could hardly wait for the boat to dock. I was so anxious to see the school. I hailed a cab, just as I left the boat and after about four or five hours of riding I reached my destination. I did not know when I first entered the cab where my destination would be; and numerous thoughts surged through my mind. Just as I stepped out of the cab I was indeed surprised to see that every thing was dark and dreary, but I was mentally delighted, because it showed that the boys and girls did not have to rise early, as I had been told. There was a path leading from the gate to the main building and such spacious grounds, that seemed to have stretched miles around. A lovely brook was making wonderful music as it glided over smooth rocks, tall trees shaded the long path. I was lost in a dream as to which door to enter. At last I made up my mind to step in my home. I staged in no gentle manner to the door. I must have made a noise for down the corridor there came five girls running. They were not dressed but came down for their morning dance, which was a permission given them by the authorities of the school. Indeed, I was well aware of the fact that I would like this place, for I am a lover of dances. These girls plied me with questions and when I told them I was a new student, they laughed, and said that it was a wonder, that I had escaped the dragon's eye. The dragon I afterward learned was a kind, sweet old woman who believed in good time herself, but these girls did not know that they did not know the meaning of good treatment. This kind old dragon who had gone to the wharf to meet me arrived later with two other girls, also students. I later found out much to my surprise, that the girls arose at five and had breakfast at six. I was in time for breakfast and was placed at a table with nine others who seemed to be very friendly indeed. Thinking that I would not act badly at the table, I took what we called, at home "a snack," but nine pair of horrified eyes glared at me, and I heard one kind girl whisper, "She does look tired." After breakfast the girls went back to their rooms to prepare for school. The bell called them to the chapel where they held their daily devotionals. Then came school work and I was classified in the second year class. I sat behind a girl who obligingly turned around and made me acquainted with everyone in class, and asked me was I expecting any boxes. Her name was Ethel the most friendly girl on the campus. At last our day's work was finished and we spent the remaining hour in singing, dancing and strolling. I made friends very fast much to my surprise and when the day was over we went to our room to study, but I am sorry to say we did everything but what we were supposed to do. The bell sounded for the night, go off and I woke up to talk again.

(Margaret Cornick) Music is the most interesting thing to me, because its harmony and melody is so soothing and appealing to a heavy heart, when played with all the emotions of the soul. Nothing is more enjoyable than an evening of solitude in which I can amuse myself, sitting at the piano, playing music, sometimes for hours and hours, when I am tired and low in spirit love music brings rest to my body and mind. Classical music is the most appealing to me, because it brings out all the expressions and feelings of the composer, when played so that every strain seems to tell a tale of love and adventure. There are many talented composers such as Wagner, Mendelssohn, Hoffman, Gottschalk, of all these I like Wagner's music best. I like to play his music because it seems so 'odd, and I understand it so well.

Just a little jazz is enough for some people. I like jazz music myself, but not all the time, because "a little fun now and then is relished by the best of men." Sometimes at home after I have a hearty meal and I don't have to wash any dishes I can sit at the piano and beat rags just to entertain myself. I enjoy it all the more because when sitting down listening to some old time melody, it gives my mind a chance to wander and it stretches my imagination. Music is older than the world. It originated in Heaven, but since it has become known to the world it has been used for evil purposes. In former days the old wells and queens (like the old kings) the city, while sitting upon their thrones, listened to some little boy playing upon a harp which softened the heart of many a harsh and cruel king.

Club girls are doing splendidly according to their directress, Miss Helen Lawrence. One by one they are beginning to get the proper uniform for taking physical exercise. On Monday, May it was a little more difficult than others we have had, we had a good chance to see how rusty some of our muscles were. It is impossible almost to have any success with high heel shoes on, but Miss Mabel Armstrong did not suffer as some of us did, as she wore a pair of tennis shoes. We are going to do so soon do our exercises perfectly and as reporter for the club, I shall tell you from week to week how individual members get along. The Recreation Department · of Community Service is trying to reach as many employed girls and women as possible. It is not so difficult to do it, as they usually have still a mind to try. The games are all good fun, beneficial in many ways and just as exciting, when entered into, as one would wish. But the women are inclined to feel uncomfortable, with the fruits and vegetables coming now, we are planning demonstrations on canning and preserving. Surely those who are so interested in home and children that they have little interest in the fruits and vegetables to put by a few dozen jars of good preserves for school lunches as well as pickles and every day vegetables like good old snap beans (not really old) beets, corn etc. Please hunt up and buy them if some new tops for them are old or are all bent.

Harding) The members of the Tidewater Waiters Association were very glad to accept the use of the columns of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, which was offered to them by the editor. There was a time when the work of a waiter was looked upon as being insignificant, but now the men engaged in this line of work are of a high order. Some years ago 97% of the waiters were living, rented houses, but now 30% of the men are living in their own homes, which they have either paid for or are being paid for through the Building and Loan Associations. Some of the men formerly in the hotel work are now engaged in business of their own, among them we meet at Tumses, real estate dealer, Mr. Pargo Selden, and a number of others. We are trying to unite ourselves into a strong organization, as no chain is stronger than its weakest link. Mr. Edward Nash, for thirty-four years headwaiter and then steward on the Old Bay Line boat, is confined to his home, 774 Cumberland street. He has been retired by the officers of the company with pay. Mr. Blake Baker will soon be on the pension list of the Washington Steamship Company, having served them for thirty years. LUNCH ROOM AT THE CENTER. Under the auspices of the Anti-Tuberculosis League, a lunch room is being run at the Community Center on Princess Anne Ave. The idea is not only to furnish sandwiches, pies, cream etc., to those who wish to buy, but to fill orders for meals to be served in the Center or delivered. The proceeds will go towards a fund to furnish ice, eggs, milk and any other needed nourishment for tubercular patients. We ask your patronage. PALMIST AND TRANCE MEDIUM Mme.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Conducted by MIRIAM DIXON Women, Ride The Jitneys The opportunity for service as presented in the case of the Norfolk Colored Jitney Association, should be grasped by the women of this community. If the women ride, men will do the same. The route is off the beaten path of business and yet it is parallel to Church street, and because of the crookedness of the street, we rarely a block intersects between the former and Fenchurch. The paving along the new route is good; we have no added cobblestones. Men wear up and trust God for all the men. The route is all right. What we hope to see is the co-operation of the women of Norfolk. The fare being reduced to five cents is an added inducement to "ride the jitney." A jenny saved a $100 bill and a man saved a frequent patron of the jitney will soon save a great deal. Instead of looking at this business in the light of a calamity, see it as a blessing. Oppression is but the humble oppression that we must avoid. The greater the oppression, the stronger should be our determination to make good. The Negro woman must get down to hard pan, she must encourage her men by walking a few steps out of her way to ride with them and then跑回家 with them. The present route is just the thing and I for one am satisfied with it. Boost the new route. Questions and Answers Williams: Your questions have no connection with the woman's department. Send stamped, addressed envelope for reply. Please tell me what you do for a person so unselfish as to for everyone but herself. She's my aunt and I love her so, but she will not buy one nice thing for herself, and spends all her money on others; not her own people always, just anybody that needs her assistance. MARY, GAGE 12. You are a lucky little girl to have such an auntie and I am glad to know that there are some kindly souls in the midst of this turnover of selfishness and greed. You will please your aunt by being unselfish and kind. You will help the things you wish her to have. Take mother and daddy into your secret and surprise her with a nice pair of stockings or other useful gifts. When you are older you can do more for her. Mrs. Dixon: Should young girls be attended when they go to halls and parties? My mother is so old fashioned she rarely wants me out of her sight. I am seventeen. All well appointed families see to it that their young girls are accompanied by a matron or chaperone at public places. Besides being the proper thing it is a protection. When the young men realize that someone cares enough about yo uto look after you at all times they are more careful of their conduct toward you. Please tell me "what's in a name." Some one has said: "a rose by any other name would be as sweet." We have an argument up in our club about this and have decided to leave the decision to you. Please let me see the answer in an early issue. There is much in a name. When you realize that names were given instead of happenings. God made the Heavens and Earth, then He separated the names and called the one land the other He called seas or water. He named the pawns of a king and made a being which He called man. After that woman. Man, by inspiration named the objects around him and we name things after the names by our forefathers. Each name has a meaning. Each object has something about it. For instance, the cold of a room. For instance coal when ignited dispels the cold of the room. Elizabeth the first was a very sweet character, mild etc., usually mothers of gentle manners use this name for their offsprings and proceed to rear them accordingly. Elizabeth the second was T. Washington choose his own name, hence he choose the best one he could find. HE BAN AWAY. Two girls in Germany recently took part in a fifty mile motor cycle race for a husband and discovered after it was over that the bridegroom-to-be had taken the opportunity of their absence to flee from the country. Homely Hints Real old fashioned egg bread with butter and milk or, weak ten, make a well balanced supper for children. Use a few 'minutes more, when lacing high shoes, the strings will last longer. Electricity lights will show up better if a shade is used, they can be made of paper at small cost. Do not get tired of fish, this is the season for fish. They save your pocket and their food value is good. Make your garden a producer rather than a consumer. Bull and mash, although a colander four good-sized sweet potatoes. Add to them; a lump of butter the size of a walnut, half a teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonsful of sugar, one teaspoonful of essence of lemon and four eggs. Bent together until very light. To these ingredients add one pint of rich milk. Bake in pie plates lined with the pull-paste without a crust. This mixture makes two small pies. VEGETABLE, FRUIT BUDGET Every family should plan carefully for plenty of vegetables and fruit in the bill of fare, the year round, say the food and nutrition specialist at the University of Nebraska agricultural college. Such provision will not only promote healthier growth in children, but will also allow them to eat more nutritious health and eliminate much of the need for medicines and medical attention. Each person should have some vegetable (other than potatoes and dry beans). twice daily or 14 times a week and some kind of fruit just as often. One raw vegetable or fruit each day is also advised. At least twice a week the fruit should be oranges or tomatoes, and the vegetable should be some kind of greens. In order to provide this balance the year round, families that grow at home all or any of their vegetables and should plan their plantings for storage and canning accordingly. Although the proportion will vary in different localities and with different families, the average family will get one-half its vegetables and fruits from the canned supply and one-half from the fresh, stored, or dried. The stored vegetables will naturally be stored in the refrigerator and early winter months, then the canned vegetables will fill the gap until fresh vegetables are again available. JOURNAL AND GUIDE Boys and Girls BY MIRIAM DIXON "My mother admires the Journal and Guide and I shall read it too when I grow up." JOIN THE BROWNIES CLUB The Brownies Club, with one idea—"Do something for somebody"—will begin with this issue. All children under sixteen years are eligible.

Children have done five really useful things during one week in our department, and those keeping this record for four consecutive weeks will receive a club pin. Yes, I know it is different; most of us want a fine thing to display our ability, but do you know how to do it? It's more blessed to give than to receive. Get busy. Do something. Are there any old and infirm persons in your neighborhood? Run in before school and chop some wood. I know of a lil' boy who is a gentleman faithfully without cost because it is a pleasure. Brownies are known by their kindly deeds. Be a Brownie indeed and make our club a success. Don't cost anything to join. Send us your picture.

THE BOY WITHOUT A NAME His clothes were neat, So were his feet This bright eyed little boy With heart so full of joy. To teach On knowledge bent, With smile so light and gay, For he would have his way. The teacher came, And asked his name His bright smile quickly fled "I have no name," he said, Well, well my son, You must have one. For you are not to blame Run hime and find a name. Our hero went, And waged not content. But searched with might and main To find himself a name. He returned next day, Both bright and gay, And brimming with fun He'd found a name All wreathed in fame Children's Story A WISE LITTLE FIELD MOUSE Mama Field Mouse was certainly a very happy little person, and she raised her tiny family to be of the same cheerful disposition. She would send them off to school because Mamma Robin had told her about the greedy black crowts that were never so happy as when they had a field mouse in their claws. So down under the corn stalk where they moved, Mama Robin would each morning the little field mice would gather in the soft dirt under the corn stalk and learn how to wash their faces, keep their little suits clean and how to avoid all dangers. "The one thing I want to impress upon your minds is this," said mamma Mousie just before letting the field mouse just to play. "When you see a dark shadow on the ground near you, duck under something and keep very quiet, for if Black Crow once gets his sharp eyes on you he will swoop down and carry you off anyone can help you. Never run toward our home or he will surely find out where it is and eat us all." The field mice all promised and scampered off to play in the sunshine. Mama Field Mousie went about with a merry heart, but be forelong she longed to see and three of her babies came scrambling up the cornstalk and tumbled into her arms. "Black Crow tried to get us and we hurried as fast as we could. He needed to be mother, but didn't get him!" cried the largest. "Oh don't let him find us!" Mamma Field Mouse quieted them as best she could. She didn't scold them for running home, even if it was against her wishes. Instead, she fixed him some dinner and told them they were eating, she put on her little gray bunnet and ran out to Chatty Chipmunk's house. "That's all there is to it," she sobbed. "I'll never raise my little ones unless I take them some place where old Black Crow is afraid to go." Chatty Chipmunk thought a long time seen as he got his breath, he took Mamma Field Mouse out to the center of the corn field. There on two sticks someone had hung a man's coat, pants and broad-brimmed hat. "Here's the very place," he chuckled. "No crow will ever venture within 50 yards of this thing. They even call it a gorgoose." He laughed. "Surely somewhere near that, you can find an ideal location for your home, don't you think so?" But by the time Chatty Chipmunk had finished speaking Mamma Field Mouse had already found the great creature she encountered the scurrow. She thanked Chatty Crow and hurried home; careful to keep out of sight so Black Crow wouldn't see her. That night when Black Crow was sound asleep, Mamma Field Mouse was home where they spent the rest of the summer months as happy as could be.

C., by the score of 21 to 8 in a slow, clean game before a crowd of 1000 of national game fans. St. Paul made have of the visitors' strategy, and practically annihilated the White and Blue offensive. WALLACE PITCHES GREAT BALL. Young Wallace was the knell to the alert and skillfully trinned Carolinians. Only three hits and one error were recorded against St. Paul, and the reactionally known among St. Paulies as the "country-tanlending-erase-hypnotizing-charming" curves, and held the heavy slugger at his mercy. He obviated all uneasiness in the first inning by shutting out the visitors without a hit.

St. Paul's batters in the second inning awning with might and main and hit Purdur's "Capitol City Ball" from all angles. He pitched good ball in the first inning, allowing no hits, but with 8 runs recorded against the second team, and three in the third, and with St. Paul continually finding the pill, he was called from labor to the bench. ST. AUG FIGHTS DESPARATELY Realizing that St. Paul's batteries were delivering the goods erroneously, and that in order to overcome the terrible lead St. Paul's batters would have to be bulted, Coach Oyewolebbed his forwards on his ball. He sent in Mallory for the fourth act. This youngster pitched clever ball but could not Attuces Defeat Lamberts Point The Attuces Athletics defeated the Lamberts Point Slides by a score of 16 to 3 today. "Flippy" Moton pitched such a successful name that it was not necessary to play the last inning. He had pitched B. Pittman for the first three innings, then the Attuces batted him out of the box. "Letty" (Louis) Mason was next sent in by the team with him and batted in the field. The Attacks offered to play the Slides the next day but the Slides felt too discouraged to accept their offer.

The Attacks have played four games, one with South Hill Bear Cats, one with Berkley White Soxs and two with Lamberts Point Slides, taking one from the Slides and losing one.

Sunbeams Whitewash Smithfield Athletics Suffolk, Va.—In one of the prettiest games played here this season Smithfield Athletics played here this season the Suffolk Sunbeams shut on the Smithfield Athletics 2 to 0. Both teams put up a brand of baseball that they be longed remembered for. Smithfield Suffolk one hit. There were no errors made Smithfield got two men as far as third base. Smithfield had one bad lining the second and wild throw caused Suffolk to score two runs. Whitehead started on the mound for Smithfield. But had to stop to catch when Watkins sus- pected a ground ball. Wilkerson finished the game in arrest with "Big Boy" Jones of Suffolk at his best and pitched a pretty game. Manager Backus is very proud of his boys having played ten games won eight and lost two.

Boyer took the box in the 6th performance. He was extremely calm, jovial and speedy, yet could hold the progress of the Great Black army. Boyer stood up bravely under exercising bombardment for three innings and did his best for the visitors; but fell prey to the Douglas machine. Joseph reaffirmed Boyer in the eighth.

Miller and Lylee, Sisale and Blake, authors and producers of "Shuffle Along," have to date to their credit the largest pay roll ever the "Shuffle Along" theatricals. This includes the "Shuffle Along" now on Broadway, the Street Music Hall, the "Shuffle Along" Company No. 2, now on the road, and the Bandanna Land Revue, now playing at Reisenweber's. Being satisfied with this success, they are determined to place the Mascot actor on Broadway. To accomplish this they have written a play entitled "The Flat Below," a story of Nerro life with ideals and morals, not mimicry nor comedy, but the serious Nerro who has a definite aim. To be sure that this production gets the proper kind of introduction, they are offering it for the first time at the Attucks Theatre, week of May 15th, where all the large theatrical magnates will come to see how it is supported by our own race. The authors and performers are satisfied that the race will, as heretofore, offer solid and substantial support. This new show will go from here to Baltimore and then to a well known Broadway house Norfolk patrons next week will be the judges for Broadway. South Hill.—The South Hill Bear Cats vanquished the Norfolk Black Sox by a score of 10-1 today in a one-sided game. Home run scored by the Norfolk Black Sox, arm Los and Jackson threw for the flies.
