DR. MOTON IN ROLE OF HERO; NORFOLK MAN KILLED IN WRECK SAVES LIFE OF WOMAN ON BUSY NEW YORK STREET Braves Swiftly Moving Fifth Avenue Traffic And Pulls Confused Pedestrian To Safety. Refuses To Accept Praise. CREDITS HIS RACE FOR HIS HEROISM New York—Pickling her way thru the traffic during Fifth Avenue's most crowded day, a woman became confused and stopped directly in the path of swiftly moving automobiles. Crowds on the sidewalk looked on with horror and astonishment, appeared the inevitable—a crushing out of a human life by the onrushing cars. But the sight failed to confuse one man among the crowd. He leaped from the safety of the sidewalk amidst the moving traffic and snatched the confused woman from the hail of the vehicle, and secured her to safety. The hysterical woman was soon lost among the swirling crowd on the avenue, even forgetting to thank the hero for her deliverance. A traffic policeman who had seen the incident was more alert, he stopped the stranger after he had gone his name. The stranger who was a Negro turned and asked, "Aro you going to arrest me?" "No," said the officer, "That was a brave act and I want to report you." "Just say a black man did it," he said and turned away. The Dr. Joseph B. Moton, successor of Booker T. Washington—as head of Tuskegee Institute, and one of the foremost figures of the Negro race, CITY WATER NOW AT LINCOLN PARK CITY WATER NOW AT LINCOLN PARK Rapid Growth Of City In Northerly Direction Is Forecasted in Recent Improvements. The city is rapidly moving northward. Water has been recently installed in Lincoln Park and is accessible to Oakwood Terrace, (not Oakwood) the choice new suburban site that is being developed and sold by Messers Bartlett and Sullivan, 5 Arcade Building. That means that the installation of city water in this section is soon to be followed by other city improvements such as electric lights and concrete sidewalks. Oakwood Terrace adjoins a built up section where there is an excellent brick school and several churches, besides the lots as laid off and sold are twice as large as the ordinary city water. VALUES SURE TO RISE Property values at Lincoln Park and Oakwood Terrace are sure to rise as a result of the logical expansion of the city in that direction. The city council is now considering the proposal to advertise the city extensively, to point out its advantages for management and other infrastructures. This publicity campaign is sure to result in more people coming to Norfolk; the logical consequence of which will be the expansion of the city's boundaries. Since it is clear that in a southerly direction, Norfolk is already hedged in by the Elizabeth River, any growth whatever must be in the north and of course Lincoln Park and Oakwood Terrace will naturally benefit by this. LOTS ON EASY TERMS The lots are being sold on very liberal terms and at reasonable prices. Messers Bartlett and Sullivan have secured a boot hat the Norfolk Colored Food Show, where they will exhibit the advantages of their wood and Oakwood furniture as home sites for offering free tickets to the show to persons who will clip the coupon from their "ad" in this paper and present it at their offices in the Arcade Building. They will have representatives at their booth to give any information desired concerning these properties. DR. HUNTER MOVES TO WASHINGTON Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Hunter have moved to Washington, D.

"A lawyer must have the legal mind," declared Rev. Richard H. Bowling in a sermon on The Community and its Lawyers. The sermon was delivered at the morning service at the First Baptist church and was pronounced by many an eye-owner on profession. It was further pointed out that it asserted that "a lawyer must have the power of logical thinking, keen observation, ability to see both sides, and a passion for accuracy of statement." The examples of the lawyers mentioned in the New Testament were cited to show that lawyers must be characterized by caution, altruity to see hidden implications, and adroitness in putting questions. In closing, the speaker said that his text, Titus 8:13, suggested the helping of Zenas the lawyer now a member of an early church and that the modern community which owed so much to the members of his profession might well be such a gestion. "Therefore," concluded Rev. Bowling, "pay your lawyer without grudging. And remember that the 'setting forward of Zenas' meant more than the giving of dollars and the giving of money to him to other churches. Let us stop speaking of lawyers as 'laws.' There are as good men in this profession as in medicine or the ministry or any other calling. When your lawyer has as well as a fee. And when he loses your case, it is often due to no fault of his butto the fact that you had no right to win."

Hope For Early Action In The Upper House. Washington, D. C.—The Dyer's Lynchning Bill, a measure designed to put an end to mob violence in the United States, introduced in and sponsored through the House of Repeal, a representative Dyer of Missouri, and sponsored a colored church and organization in the country and many white, now has a better chance of getting through the Senate than it has had since the day the governor house put a bitter fight in that body. COMMITTEE REPORTS The Senate Judiciary Committee in which the bill has slumbered since its advent in the upper house, while the voice of the Negro has been heard in the lower house, has reported the measure favorably to the Senate by a vote of 8 to 6. Senators Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona and Norris, Republican, Nebraska, not voting, changes were made in the original house bill and those were designed it is said to meet the constitutional objections. Many Senators opposed the bill on account of alleged unconstitutionality. The Bill was read from the day it was read to the lower house and has drawn the wrath of Southern statesmen. Great pressure was brought to keep the measure from ever emerging from the committee, and the Bill has been her finally nursed it through this doubtful stage and will very likely push its passage at this session. STATE HELD RESPONSIBLE The bill declares that if States fail, neglect, or refuse to maintain protection of life they shall be deemed to have denied the constitutional guarantee and the Federal authorities will have power to act by indictment of State officers or members of the Federal Court. The measure requires "reasonable" efforts by State officers to maintain order and protect prisoners and their failure will subject them to imprisonment for five years and a fine of $5,000. Members of mobs in which a prisoner is put to death would be liable to imprisonment with imprisonment for five years to life provided. Counties in which fatal mob disorders occur, would be liable to the family of the victim under forfeit of $10,000. Amendments adopted by the Senate committee require that failure of inmates must be charged in the Federal indictment and proven to the satisfaction of the Federal Trial Court. How THEY VOTED Eight Republicans, Chairman Nelson, Minnesota; Dillingham, Vermont; Brandegee, Connecticut; Cunningham, Texas; Stearing, South Dakota; Ernst, Kentucky, and Shortridge, California, voted in favor of the bill. One Republican, Senator Borah, Idaho, and five Democrat, Clubberon, Texas; Overton, Tennessee; Shields, Tennessee, and Walsh, Montana, were recorded in opposition. for exhibits of. horses, cattle, sheep, swine, etc., farm and domestic products.

VICE PEDDLARS NOT SO BRAZEN AS FORMERLY Nightly Parades Not So Noticeable In Past Two Weeks As Heretofore. Lid Down Tight On Sale Of Dope. A noticeable suppression of the glaring vice conditions existing in certain sections of the city as relegated to columns a few weeks ago is in evidence.

Police surveillance has been tightened in the vicinity and the notorious cautious in their operations. Prisonera Dismissed Annie Johnson, the woman in whose house the fatal party was held which resulted in the death of two women a few weeks ago and who were sent to the court to sory to the murder has been released there being no evidence to connect her with criminal intent, Paul Wright, the man whom it is claimed furnished the wet goods for the party has also been dismissed. David Manion, the man whom the drug has been sent on to Corporation Court to answer to a charge of murder. The women testified that they bought a small bottle of drugs from Mabin, thinking it was cocaine. They gay they each dozed on the table until they paid six dollars for which they paid him for 'the goods. Makes Statement. Mabin, against the advice of justice Simmons and attorney J. S. Barron insisted on making a statement in which he denied having sold the women anything. He stated that he had a man off a tranastlantic ship and to find out what it was carried to it an uptown druggist for analysis, the druggist informing him that it was heroin and deadly poison. He states that he then smashed the bottle against the wall. Mabin's statement that he had a bottle of drugs and was informed by the druggist that it was deadly poison and the women's testimony that they bought a bottle from him with the coroners statement that the woman had been by taking poison supposedly heroin may serve to cause his conviction on a murder charge.

The discharge coming at a time when most of the sailors had to leave, that the yard had reached its lowest compliment in working force and conditions there had assumed a new normal was a great disappointment.

At the time, all the colored men employed at the Seaboard Shops as helpers have been thrown out of work on account of the railroad strike. Association of Missions To Meet In Columbus Washington, D.

SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1922 THE NAVY YARD APPRENTICES Those who instituted the apprenticeship system in the Norfolk Navy Yard are benefactors of the sort that we can all appreciate. They have made possible an opening for our skilled workers, which they would not otherwise have had, by giving the young folks an opportunity to learn all about the highly technical work of the Navy Yard, and the earnestness with which the young folks take advantage of the good opportunity is sufficient reward for those who made the opportunity possible for them. The late Colonel Rosevelt used to say that he would close the door of opportunity in the face of no man, and General. Armstrong and Dr. Washington used to act upon the theory that the door might as well be shut if our young people were not prepared to enter it when opened. The young persons who have a skilled trade are thrice armed against adversity and the difficulties of making headway in life. WAS MR. LINCOLN RESPON SIBLE FOR THE CIVIL WAR The historical committee of the United Confederate Veterans, in session at Richmond, have reached the conclusion that Abraham Lincoln was entirely responsible for bringing on the Civil War. That is not only a very unusual conclusion, but one that it has bound to raise a big controversy. It has done so. When the learned on both sides have produced their evidence and shaped it into a true statement of the case, we shall know more about it than we now do. The contention is made that Southern schools should have a standard history, written by a Southerner from the Southern viewpoint. We are very sure that the Afro-Americans should have a standard history of their own writing for their own schools, as they have no sort of a decent place in any of the histories now taught in the schools. OUR DOCTORS ARE GROWING OLD The Afro-American people are only a little more than fifty years old in freedom and opportunity. All behind those years were years of slavery and denial of opportunity; with few homes and schools and churches of their own. Life was black and unforsbidding to them. We had few professional men then, only here and there one in the largest communities. Now we have preachers and teachers and doctors and lawyers everywhere, making history for the race and reasonable money for themselves and consequent wealth for the race, without which a race is poor indeed. The transformation in half a century has been marvellous. These observations are based upon the fact that the Old Dominion Medical Society held its tenth annual meeting, at Danville, recently. Year by year it has grown in membership and influence for good, and is today one of the most useful and helpful influences in the life of the race. Every community in the Nation where we are present in numbers has one or more Afro-American physicians, and everywhere they are rendering that devoted service to the community and their patients for which the medical profession is notable. All honor, and all hail to the members of the Old Dominion Medical Society. President Harding has told a delegation of Philippines that the time was not time to extend independence to the Philippines Islands, and that for the present the American Occupation would be continued. Of course, that was a great disappointment to the delegation, but they should not have expected any other answer to their petition. The United States needs the Philippines in its business as a World Power, and that is reason a plenty for holding on to the Islands, is it not? The rulers of the Nation think so. The special Senate Committee which has been investigating the American Occupation of Haiti and San Domingo, in their report, also find that we need Haiti, at least, in our business and that consequently the American Occupation will be continued indefinitely. The Committee gives as an excuse for American Occupation of Haiti that both Germany and France had designs upon Haiti, and thus impelled the Monroe, Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine has been used since the rape of Hawaii in the Cleveland Administration to perpetrate many wrongs. The Committee also finds that the American marines were guilty of much wrong doing in Haiti, but that on the whole, the American Occupation has been, good for the Haitians, a conclusion in which many influential Haitians do not concur. The Special Senate Committee promises that the American Occupation will give the Haitians a stable administration of the government, which they have never had; honestly collect and expend the public moneys in paying the public debts, building necessary roads, providing a proper system of education and administering the laws impartially. We shall see how the promises are worked out Briefs and Spices Herrlin, I., hath slain her thousands while Georgia and Texas have slain their ten thousands. A vacation a year keeps old age away. Maybe one could endure the hot weather better if the thoughts of an empty coal bin wouldn't cut in. Wealth doesn't necessarily spell happiness. The wealthier you are the more you're pestered by mosquitoes. Folks may be busy in the spirit world as Doyle says, but we have our personal doubts about some of them. One of the easiest ways to avoid trouble is to deal with live issues. If we understand correctly, all that was said to create the issue and arouse the ire of the Southern Bishops at the council is embodied in the term, "mendicant:" A miracle used to mean, turning water to wine, now it's living after you've drank some the water turned to moonshine. One reason why there is an underworld in every large city is, while the days are unusually quiet the nights are still. If the coal strike continues, keeping the home fires burning will keep the bread winners yearning. When a fellow lands a good job his friends say he's plucky. But when a girl lands the fellow her friends say she's lucky. Another silent "P."

THE HALF-YEAR By Lee Foyles Rodgers Down the valley of the years, In the Halls of Time, As loud as clash of many spears— Resounding down the line Of the cohorts of the years— A cry of years unnumbered, Awaking centuries that slumbered In the Halls of Time. Standing fixed like sentinels, A host to stagger thought, They seemly watch eternal hands, Blinding in their awe, Give signal to the little band Of months we called our own— Six in number—they found home Where Time is yet but young. So passes on a half-year, A half-year, wan and weak, Burdens great it had to bear— A thousand ills, a world that's sick Goodly efforts here and there, A baggie lot, a pittance won, A half-year added to life's sum And sounding warning—World beware! Scissor PROGRESS NEGRO PROGRESS At the meeting of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, held in New York on Monday, there was reported a continued expansion of the work of the institution.

It is a permanent American institution. Booker Washington's successes at Tampa Bay R. Mote, was one of the seepers at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial and made an address worthy of that historic occasion. In paying homage to Lincoln on behalf of his own race, "twelve million black Americans, as he calculated more perhaps than upon any other group rested the immediate obligation to "justify the price paid for their emancipation." "Has the sacrifice been justified?" In his eloquent answer he reviewed the contribution of African Americans to the freedmen. Despite their "incongruous position" and their "failure to reap the full reward of their sacrifices," their loyalty in time of war has never been questioned, while in peace they have been, he as.-rated, the "nation's greatest resource" to the development of its resources." But he whose act emancipated the slave would have greater satisfaction in hearing what the Negro had done for the elevation of his own race under freedom. In spite of limitations, he did not without these people, who were sixty years ago in serfdom, have "found a way to industry, integrity and thrift," they have acquired 22,000,000 acres of come into the ownership and operand with 600,000 homes, and have of business enterprises with a capital of more than $150,000,000. In nume rable schools and churches have been built and maintained and illiteracy among them has been reduced 20 per cent. And Tuskegee and Hampton ("Lengthened shadows" of Booker T. Washington, General Armstrong and Dr. Fresnel, and other such institutions give promise of a wider redemption of the race. In the great experiment in human relationship which has been started on these shores, those who differ most in their views, the Major, Mobius said, are brought together. When some months ago, representatives of thirty or more immigrant racial groups in our American life called upon the National representative said: "The President, we have not come, but we are here." The negro is here and he is here to stay. The Lincoln Memorial, which the negro race will appease, is the perpetual symbol of our national obligation, to see that every possible thing is done to give full effect to the proclamation of the Great Empanada. sey D.

J. W. Jackson) Pirates Deadlocked With Athletics The Portsmouth Pirates met the Berkley Athletics Monday, June 26, at Paige's Park and battled to an eight inning tie. The game was called on account of darkness, with the lights on. The game was fast and snappy with many exciting plays. The pitching of Hill for the Athletics was a feature of the game. He struck out ten of the heavy hitting Pirates. Hill took eight hits but he kept them scattered. In the first inning Jacobs, of the Athletics drove one to deep center which counted for a homer. Skinner for the Athletics, Mann and Penn, of the Pirates drove out a two hole hit. Alexander, playing at short for the Pirates, played a great game despite the handicap of a swollen hand. Mann, playing the left garden, the game on two occasions, met the glove for his team by wonderful catchers. Blount, at center, and Scott in right field also displayed fast field work. Blount led his team in stick work. Gilham who started on the mound for the Pirates, was relieved by the team, and held the locals hitless and runless for the remainder of the game. Second Game The Pirates, and Athletics met again at Paige's Park, Saturday July 17, and fought an up-hill battle which resulted in a tie, the final count being 9 to 9. A poor class of sportsmanship was shown by the fans of Berkley and also the Athletics played. The Pirates was staged when the numbe called one of the Athletic men out at third. The Pirates were then in the lead by a margin of three runs. The out man's team mates, refused, to allow the player to be called out, and that was the beginning of a ragged game. The Pirates were the doubt in all other decisions. The Pirates showed a poor class of fielding, making six errors. Alexander, for the Pirates won the honor of the day by hitting safe, including two three base wallops. Hill, of the Athletics played a great game getting everything that came from Score.

DIVINITY STUDENT STIRS AUDIENCE Boston, Mass.—One of the outstanding commencement addresses delivered at Harvard University during the closing exercises was that of Mr. M. Watt, a college second year student in the Divinity School. During the delivery of this address Mr. Johnson received repeated applause and has received much praise since. Among other things the speaker said: "The Negro people of America have been with us here for three hundred years, filled our forests, filled our fields, but our enemies fought our battles, and all their trials until now they have manifested a simple faith, a grateful heart a sense of duty, a loyalty to our nation that has been a thing of beauty to behold. Now they have come to the place where their faith can no longer feed on the breadth of our lives, and ask equality, as I public responsibility. It must not be denied them." Delivers Address to Petersburg Audience Speaking to a large aggregation of people at the Tarnacle Baptist church, Peterburg, Va., last Sunday, at the eleven o'clock service. Mr. C. H. Liggins, of the Queen Street Baptist church, Norfolk, Va., established address on "Sing an Art of Music" covering the various fields of human activities, he showed that music is a progressive art, no man who knows and can sing from a staff of music will be satisfied with the same old song, he will always be looking over something no musician can see at the jubilee that do not exceed the fourth grade of music. Music is an art of sounds. We can find but a very little art in small grades of music. An eight thousand dollar pipe organ can not find very much music, unless such an organ can have music of the 7, 8, 9 and 10th grades played on them. You will not get the benefit of your organ, as one part of such organ will be fast asleep. Sing will incline his a new song. God wants a, new song, songs that will cost you something to learn.

After much bickering and dodging the issue behind such pliant excuses as, "No public demand," "long engagements," and etc., by the heavy weight champion, it now seems certain that both of them are staged between images and Wills. Dempsey has accepted Wills challenge and Governor Miller, of New York, approves the match. Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, says that he expects a merry scramble for the privilege of staging the battle. William Muldoon, chairman of the New York Boxing Commission received a written statement from the champion, accepting the challenge. Jack Kearns. To further, assure, the public, of his willingness to meet the colored man he suggested to P. J. Mullins, the manager of Wills, the time and place for the signing articles of agreement. The manager has been suggested as the place to sign the articles which will bring the champion and challenger together. When Governor Miller was asked if he had any objections to a fight between a colored and white fighter, he has been suggested, and hoped the best men to win. After the signing of articles by the fighters and posting of forfeit money, bids for promoting the affair will be received by the respective managers and a promoter from the among them. A similar bids. This is a feature from the regular method of promoting big fights as it has been the custom to select a particular promoter and arrange the privilege with him. This new method will give all of the big sport handlers a opportunity to show off. By the way of keeping himself fit, Wills met one of his old rivals, Jeff Clark, last Friday night at Trenton, N. J., and treated him to a nice thumping. The challenger sent Clark to the floor in the first round of the second round of few seconds of the game, with wit he thud that put an end to teh uneven match. Wills weighed in at 211 pounds and entered the ring in what appeared to be the acme of physical condition.

DANIEL INTERPRETING NEBU- CHADZEZAR'S DREAM--Daniel 2. Ref. Mat. Isa. 9:6, 7; 13; 14 47; Dan. 4:30; 34:37; John 18:33:38; Rev. 11:15. GOLDEN TEXT--The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and he shall reign forever and ever.-Rev. 11:15. 1. Nebuchadnezzar's Forgotten Dream and his Threat to the Magi- icians-Vs. 1-12. "We get a glimpse of in vain to remember. Thereupon he called his wise men, and demanded that they tell him the dream. The wise men demanded. What: 'What was your majesty's dream?' they asked respectfully. 'Tell us and we will interpret it.' But the king demanded that they in vain to remember. Thereupon he called his wise men, and demanded that they tell him the dream. The wise men only answered. What? was your majesty's dream? they asked respectfully. 'Tell us and we will interpret it.' But the king demanded that they should both tell the dream and explain. If they did die, he would murder them. If they failed, he would cut them in pieces, and disgrace their bodies by casting them out on dung hills. Nebuchadnezzar was a typical Eastern tyrant. The magicians, non-plussed, at their wits' end, gave up in dispair. And it is a rare thing that the king requires that he be not other than to show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh." Vs. 11. "In their extremity, as the time for the execution of the king's decree drew near, they sought Daniel, who was evidently admitted by the wise men themselves to be wiser than they and begged to help their aid." Daniel Reveals The King's Dream — Verses 24-35. Verses 13-23 tells us how the Hebrew slave ascertained what the king's dream was, by cooperation; Daniel acquainted his three friends with the king's decree enlisted their aid; by prayer, the four companions of the king's dream might be known and that they might not perish with the rest of wise men of Babylon; by praise and honoring God. I thank and praise thee, O thou, God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, etc., and well said, "is a man who attempts imposibilities." The harder the task set by God, the surer he is to succeed, because the harder will he be driven back upon the unfailing help of God. The king had seen a single image of colossal size standing on the breast and waw of finest gold; the breast and arms of silver; the belly and thighs of brass; the legs of iron; the feet part of iron and part of clay. At the top was the most precious of metals, gold at the bottom the most common, that the most precious abundance anywhere in the large plains of Babylonia."—Deane. Finally a great stone, cut without human agency from some invisible mountain, fell on the image, which immediately collapsed and crumbled to the dust; the stone was milled into the stone became a vast mountain which filled the entire world. 3. Daniel Interprets The Dream of the King. Verse 36-48. The Kingdoms of gold, silver, brass, iron came to naught; they were founded upon force, selfishness, and inequality. The Kingdom of Christ shall stand for it; it is founded upon love, selfishness and equality Gal. 3:28. When the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of Christ is pretty nearly altogether in the hands of the Christian Church. U. N. I. A.

WHO IS RIGHT Dear Madam: I work hard at my profession, use my money for the good of the family, have a husband and dear old grandmother, whom I love, have always done what I could for you. You are not appreciated; even grandma says most anything she cares to whether it hurts or not. I am more anxious for sympathy at home than abroad? The housewife part is always the hardest part in the home, she makes more sacrifices than anyone else, useless has less time, and all she does in the home. The other members of the family do not see this but if they had to do the same they would holter. However, that is your stumbling block and you must let it help you to become more firm in your Conducted By MIRIAM DIXON Brownies, you are clever, three of you solved the puzzle about the check.

Dear Peek-a-boo: While reading the Journal and Guide, I saw your poem puzzle and found the answer to be a "check." Yours truly, EDWARD WEBB, "1417 Anne St., Norfolk, Va." Brownie Stories THE SHABBY SHEEP Once upon a time there was a lady with six children. She was poor in money, but had a very healthy family. She was a very shiny lady every day and brought home bread and food enough for the little ones. Polly, the oldest sister, was a very neat little girl, she took care of her dresses and when ever she went about her day she was shiny. She was a good little girl, too, and her mother loved her a great deal. Willie May, the next girl, was just the opposite. She could not keep anything looking nice, even for a few days. The poor woman worried herself to death trying to keep Willie neat and clean, until she decided to leave her do as she pleased. So it happened that she was polished and faded of the family. Her shoes were never polished and her dresses always faded and unsightly. The children picked at her, and her tired mother famed whenever she could. She would be three than at home. During vacation time she would steal out whenever she could and would stay away for hours. One night the little girl went to bed very early, she had promised herself to turn over a new leaf and she sat and over in her mind she turned the question, "How can I win them?" The sun was rising when she finally fell asleep, "I will be better by beginning today," she thought. And when her mother called a few hours later, she was ready to come down. She busied herself about the house and was as agreeable as could be. "Every one about her noticed the change and commented on it. "Maybe she wants to go on the business," she said. "Well, who are you so calm today? I never saw you so mild and sweet; it cannot last." The old fire in 'Adalade flamed up, but she held her peace and finished the dishes in silence: "Is there anything more to do, mother," she asked and on receiving --- plan to do right. You cannot always see, you must work by faith. What do you think of children going to summer school to do advanced work? Is it alright if one can do it; for the detained child it is excellent, gives another chance. The Looking Glass THE FLAPPER The Flapper is a young woman who bobs her hair, wears the highest heels and the showest frocks. Actuates the color of her lower extremities by the color of her hair. Skirts skirts to the shortest possible length, and her neckline to the lowest degree saves too much material in making her sleeves, wears jade errings and whose occupation is walking up and down the stairs. Roll these ingredients in one, smear with a little paint and powder and you have a number one Flapper. Homely Hints Swat the fly he is an enemy to man. He is a good high shoes while the sun shines. Your husband is what you make him, go to work. Encourage the children to read, it is worth while. Follow the crowd to the Food Show, leave your dinner at home. The little girl boarded the train when it stopped for passengers and seated herself near the window where she could see the trees and houses as she slept and was not awakened until the conductor patted her on the shoulder. "Where are you going my little miss and where is your ticket," he asked. "Have none and not send me away." She not send me back. I am naughty, all the time. They say I am the shabby sheep, whatever that is and they look for me to beaught even when I am trying to be good. I am not good. I would have I would have I would have so hard. Have you a little girl about my age, and is she a shabby sheep?" The big man turned and looked out of the window, two big tears stood in his eyes. He thought of the little mound in the cemetery, where his mother was the first time. Then turning back to the said, "Yes, I have a little girl and she is not a shabby girl at all. I found her on my train and if her people agree to it, I will keep her for my very own." Willie May found a home. Mr. Smith was more than kind to her and his wife was a real mother. They taught her out of the Bible, sent her to church and school. She completed the high school course at sixteen and received a scholarship to any academic school she deserved. Her mother, a young lady receive her diploma you never have thought of her as the shabby sheep. Polly, the pet of the household, left school before she finished the eighth grade. Whenever Willie May's name is called mother drops a silent tear and answers, "My great mistake." Follow the crowd to the Food Show, every night. Norfolk Auditorium, July 10th to 15th.

The people of this community are of a very progressive mind as was evidenced all about. While taking the sermon, the audience settled of over, sight miles where there was nothing but colored people all owning and operating their own farms, with splendid dwelling houses erected. We had the pleasure of meeting several of the leading and most active members in the persons of W. H. W. Williams, Mrs. S. F. Combs, Mr. Anthony and his three sons; Mrs. Ocie F. Anthony and Mrs. Nettles. DRAWING THE RACE LINE ON THE JEWS The upheaval caused by the announcement that a revision of the rules of Harvard University governing the admission of students would operate to exclude Jews, had hardly subsided into a determination of those concerned to make a thorough investigation into the matter than another upheaval was caused by the treatment of a West Virginia cadet at the naval academy, at Annapolis, named Leonard Kaplan, the offense being a mock biography in the Year Book printed by the cadets. Senator Sutherland of West Virginia brought up the matter officially in the enate, and said he would see that it was probed to the bottom, as, during his four years at the Acadamy Kaplan has been "subjected to a refinement of cruelty such as is set forth in this book," simply because he is of Jewish extraction. Afro-Americanians don't have any chance whatever at the Annapolis Naval Academy or the West Point Military Academy. There is a very general and concerted understanding among army and navy authorities of both institutions that "news and Negroes are not wanted." These two schools are national training institutions. The Government controls. The Government controls and supports them; that is, the taxpayers of the country do it. The racial discriminations that have existed in fore, when we encourage our young people to stay in the country and get possession of the farms the young whites are deserting. The farmers are the real backbone, the real masters of the Nation. Don't forget that. When they do not produce foodstuffs and wearing materials for the Nation it must go hungry and naked. "HOG AND HOMINY" All the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, but especially our farmers, will be interested in the farm statistics recently published in our columns, showing that 14,000 Afro-American farmers in North Carolina, Virginia and Texas, last year, upon advice of county agents employed by State and Federal Agricultural departments, raised 90,000 acres of corn, with an average yield of 35 acres per bushel, which is a very good average yield. People who raise plenty of corn are bound to raise plenty of hogs, and when they do that they are sure to have plenty of "hog and hominy" to eat, with plenty of poultry and milk and butter from the cows they should raise. People so circumstanced are in no position to starve, and they are easily out of reach of the parasitical store account of the credit system that has been devouring most of them from year to year. The farm life is the most independent, life, but not the best to get rich in. It is vastly more desirable, however, to have plenty of foodstuffs and money enough from the sale of surplus farm products to pay taxes and buy little luxuries than to strive to make a lot of money as wage earners in cities and towns and have nothing to show for it at the end of the year show for it at the end of the year except the endless wage-grind.

FINE PROGRAM An elaborate program with features of inspiration, instruction, fellowship and recreation has been prepared, and each day's stay in the Windy City promises to be a memorable event in the lives of those who attend. Norfolk Colored Fair To Be A Big Event (Continued from Page 'One') on restraint in the various commodities, foodstuffs, farm appliances and domestic equipment, demonstrated therein, and many local dealers and manufacturers are expected to have business-getting exhibits, An a b o b a t e I n f o r m a t i o n and P r i m i m a t i o n Catalogue is being prepared, and will be distributed throughout Norfolk, Princess, Anne, and Nane- mond counties, especially. A Season Ticket; Selling Contest is being ad- mended among a number of young women; the first, prize for which is a hawaii $10 money, the second, a hand- some twist, watch, and the third, a hand- some allergy mesh bag. Present lighted by electricity. This with the extensive display of fireworks by the Schnectady, N. Y. Fireworks Co. insures large nightly attendance. A special feature of this fireworks display will be the Battle of the Argonne, shown each night in all its terrible and thrilling splendor of pyrotechnic achievement. Another novel feature of this fair will be the parade of decorated owned automobiles through the city and then to the fair grounds, with generous cash prizes for the best decorated autos. Negotiations are under way to secure the wonderful colored aviatrix, a country from France, giving exhibitions, to fly over the city and grounds. A big carnival company will flank the Midway on both sides with numerous concitions and free acts. Splendid vaudeville and spectacular free acts in front of the grand stand will be features of both afternoon and night sessions; and one of the country's most famous colored bands will provide concert and plenty of jazz music day and night. Horse races daily, both harness and running, for large purses and no restrictions except drivers must be colored, motorcycle races, mule races, a baby contest and other unique features make this first Colored Fair of Norfolk an event to be looked forward to by every one of the 200,000 folks it has to draw from. Few factors are contributing more to the progress and development of the country than its fairs and expositions. Wherever agricultural expositions are* the more numerous and highly developed, the more progressive are those sections; wherever the farmers are taking active and intelligent interest in these fairs, they are learning to raise better crops, have better stock, have better homes, better sanitation and higher living standards; and the merchants and other folks in these districts are the more prosperous therefore. In the Fair means greater expenditures with local merchants both during and after the fair; it means opportunity for the manufacturer to reach a purchasing power almost unexploited; it means better equipment in colored homes and on colored farms; it means better understanding between the races; it means better colored citizenship. Experienced industrial teachers and practical and successful agriculturists, men and women, comprise the Advisory Board and head the various departments; and all are working in hearty co-operation with the fair officials, with the one purpose, to make Norfolk's Colored Fair a great developing influence and a real asset to the community.

It was organized in 1860 as the "Scott Street Church," and functioned as such until it affiliated with the African Union Methodist Protestant denomination, with which connection it remained until several years ago when it joined the Colored Methodist Episcopal denomination. WHY CHURCH WAS SOLD St. Luke's church was remodelled two years ago and owed $33,865.00, of which amount $23,500 was secured by mortgage on the church edifice and parsonage. The officers add members had applied to Bishop Carter, presiding over this district for assistance in refinancing the mortgage which matured in May. The Bishop and presiding elders Long and Rosser came to Norfolk, conferred with influential white Methodists here and madeitative arrangements for re-creating the church, where arrangements were contingent upon an accounting by the officers of the funds used in remodelling the church and a sale of the property at auction so as to clear up the title, and a change of name to St. Paul's C. M. E. church. A sale was ordered "to pay the church's bonded indebtedness and secure the other notes by second mortgage." A representative of Bishop Carter was present at the sale and ran the property up to $27,000. Mr. Gordon boosted this bid $250 and the Bishop's representative refused to bid any higher, the property going to Mr. Gordon.
