Norfolk Journal and Guide VOL. XXIII. NO. 6 EIGHT PAGES MANUFACTURERS AFTER GOOD WILL OF RACE CITIZENS White Business Men Declare That Overlooking the Colored People in Community Life is Wasting an Important Asset. (Special to Journal and Guide) The Chattanooga Manufacturers ing unique in the annals of the South and one calculated to go far toward better race relations and consequently redounding to the material advancement of this city was started here last week. It was conducted by the Chattanooga Manufacturers Association—an open house for colored citizens of the community, provided the affair and a marked improvement in feeling has resulted. The Chattanooga Manufacturers Association owns a large building in which exhibits of locally manufactured goods are stored. Each year on certain days an open house is held at the building and citizens of the city and neighboring towns are invited to inspect the exhibits. Of course, this blanket invitation is not meant to white people and the only Nee-pee in the building on these occasions have been servitors. OPEN HOUSE FOR COLORED This year some of the leading manufacturers suggested that an open house day be held for colored people. In face of the known racism inside it it was surprising how much enthusiasm the movement was taken A great many preparations were made. Colored school teachers, preachers, professional and business men were invited to attend treatments. From 3 o'clock until 8 o'clock the people responded and there was a constant stream of them looking at the goods "Made in Chattanooga." The net result was making of a business being the taking of pride by the colored citizens in their city. So well-placed were the manufacturers and the white citizens in general with the results of the innovation that there are indicated by the colored people to overlook the great good will possibilities of the colored people; but that the forward looking merchants, manufacturers and professional people intend to seek to inspire in their communities, and states, and work with the white people feel. "We are overlooking an important asset," Mr. Rothmell, one of the manufacturers remarked, "but we will not overlook it, any longer." JOURNAL AND GUIDE UNITED CHARITIES FUND Norfolk Citizens are Asked to Help Provide Food and Warmth to Hundreds of Destitute People. The next two months will be the hardest of the winter upon the unfortunate poor people of the city, many of whom are out of work or sick and unable to provide for themselves and those dependent upon them the food and fuel necessary to keep them. United Charities will report that the charity over three hundred appeals for aid made upon it by colored people during the month of January. No worthy case was turned down, but United Charities' funds are limited, and it is impossible to ransfer assistance to all who ask it, olless the charity respond more liberally when substitutions. Colored United Charities, Rev. F. W. Williams, president, reports an equal if not larger number of urgent appeals. These cases have been helped as far as the limited funds of the organization in many cases. F. W. Williams has personally assistance where it was necessary to sustain life. But both of these organizations need funds to carry, on their work, and this appeal is made to the public on their behalf. But special arrangement funds that are provided by JOURNAL AND GUIDE for charitable causes will be turned over to Colored United Charities, through Dr. Williams. Meanwhile colored citizens generally, are urged their means to be colored Charities (white) and Colored United Charities to aid these organizations in relieving human suffering. The amount of $15.00 has already been received by the JOURNAL AND GUIDE. Who will be the next to give. Contributions will be acknowledged through these columns. Trenton, N.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1923 FIRST COLORED DOCTOR TO HEAD STATE HOSPITAL FIRST COLORED DOCTOR TO HEAD STATE HOSPITAL North Carolina Health Department Recognizes Ability of Colored Physician as Expert in Treatment of Consumption. (Special to Journal and Guide) Ashville, N. C.-To. Dr. J. W. Walker, local physician, has come the honor, and distinction of being the first colored-physician to be appointed to head a state health institution in the United States. Carolina has recently constructed at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars, in connection with the State Sanatorium for tuberculosis, a department for the care and treatment of Negro tubercular patients. Dr. Walker has been appointed superintendent of this sanatorium. John W. Walker, M. D., is an accredited specialist on tuberculosis, both locally and nationally. He is a graduate of Livingstone College, University of Pennsylvania School and Freedman Hospital, Howard University, Washington, D. C. SETTLED IN ASHVILLE Twenty years ago this young practitioner settled in Asheville, N.C., which is virtually his native home. Asheville is famed throughout the street. This young doctor saw hundreds of victims of the dreaded disease come to the wonderful sanatoria here and receive beneficial treatment. They were white people who were not victims of the treatment of members of his own race who might be suffering from the deadly plague. Dr. Walker set about to remedy within the limit of his own ability this sad condition among his race in North He traveled and studied and then purchased a spot and built a sanatorium which he and his family occupied. He also "forced" people who came to Asheville for treatment. From a financial standpoint this venture was a failure. Dr. Alker, like others, private homes for tubercular patients seeking the cure. TWENTY YEAR SPECIALIST His twenty years of specializing in the treatment of consumption among his race eminently fits him for the position of state authorities and provides him. During the construction of the Negro sanatorium Dr. Walker was approached by the State Superindependent of Tuberculosis Work, on the question of accepting the position of first aid officer, the appointment he felt that it involved too great a sacrifice. It was then made plain to him that unless he did accept no colored man would be appointed superintendent of the institution. Dr. McBrayer, the State Superintendent, in offering Dr. Walker said over again, "If you do not confess it a colored man will not not the position." Dr. McBrayer in an address before the North Carolina Educational Association recently, said of Dr. Walker, "I was surprised that he changed the one time impression among tuberculosis experts that colored victims of consumption would not respond to treatment. It was felt, he said, among experts in the field that tuberculosis there was nothing for him to do die. Dr. Walker's practice and experiments in Asheville, a mecca for tubercular patients have convinced the experts at the University of Tennessee responds to treatment of tuberculosis as other people do. His papers at the Tuskegee Clinic and the National Negro Medical-Association are regarded as that of an expert in the field most members of the medical profession. Before engaging actively upon his daties at the Sanatorium, Dr. Walker will travel for nine weeks, going as far North as Saranac Lake, N. Y., to that great tubercular retreat, and to other parts of the country in the treatment methods and in the treatment white plague and will re-route to North Carolina to take on his duties in the most expert fashion possible. In his own language Dr. Walker regards it as a wonderful opportunity for scientific and research work and says, "I am having the experience, witnessing the experience, with help, the helpful service for my race and for the whole people." He will be the highest salaried Negro physician in the country. Board Of T. Endorses Howard Fund Washington, D.

The endorsement of the Washington School LOVE AFFAIR ENDS IN GIRL'S MURDER Department of Interior Announces That Investigation Has Disclosed That a Shift is in Progress. Washington, D. C. Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor announces as a result of an investigation by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation in that department, that a movement of labor from the South to the Northwest industrial center is noticeable. This is the first gesture toward a northren shift of this class of labor since the war, but it is in no wire general as the war time exodus. The payrolls in many districts in the northern and central western points have been slightly increased by the number of these workers from the South. Georgia has so far, yielded the greatest number of Negro immigrants to the North in the present shift. Many industrial districts show no increase in the use-of-Negro labor. increase in the use of weep-tolerant in general, however, is limited in migration from South is indicated by a rapidly increasing absorption of Negro labor by northern industry just as rapidly as increased output is demanded. The most significant phase of the movement is that it obtains in the face of the reluctance of this class to move when the water and the suggestion preyals that the move will be more general when spring opens.

Everybody Get the Community Spirit FEDERAL PROBE OF GARVEY KLAN IS NOT LIKELY Police Power of States Sufficient to Deal With Any Law Violations. Wherever and Whenever Such May Occur. GARVEY FOLLOWERS SEE JEALOUSY IN THE MOVE Washington, Feb. 7.—A sweeping investigation into the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the Department of Justice, as the result of a criminal dugout in which it was charged that Marcus Garvey is in alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, is highly improbable. NO GROUNDS FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION It is pointed out that if every allegation made in the communication to the Attorney General were true, there would be no grounds for Federal investigation. The act of criminal attack against the United States. They could constitute no more than violations of state laws, in which event the states in which they were committed would have jurisdiction. The Department of Justice, however, is in the assassination of the Rear Admiral W. H. Eason, former "American leader" of the Garvey movement. Garvey is awaiting trial in New York on a charge of having used the mails to defraud in connection with the defunct "Black Star Line" and the Jason of the government. Eason was waylaid and shot in New Orleans on January 1. Before he died he identified William Shakespeare and Frederick Dyer, two Negroes, as his assailants and they have been indicted for the crime. The Negro world, office of the Justice Department, Improvement Association, is raising a fund for their defense. Followers of Marcus Garvey place stress on the fact that there has been a libel label, bitterly fought in the courts, between Marcus Garvey and Robert S. Abbott. Charles O. Anderson of Harvard H. Faces is a member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Bagnall and Pickens are employed by this organization. They assert that these rival organizations—the Friends of Negro Freedom and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—should use the Department of Justice for the purpose of ridding the field of the Universal Negro Improvement Association so that they might have smooth sailing. Proposed Measure Would Cause Annual Cut of 100,000; A Matter of Interest to Colored People. (Special to Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C.-Race members throughout the country are evincing much interest in the general immigration policy into shape in consideration by the House-Immigration Committee. The reason for this keen interest on the part of colored people is because the race problem in this country and immigration is closely interrelated, particularly from an economic viewpoint. It is reported by U. S. Department of Labor that northern industries are gradually absorbing Negro labor that has been migrating from the south in large numbers. Several years ago, the increased demand for the output of these industries added to the shortage of foreign labor caused by the limitation of immigration, is affording race labor an opportunity for widening its area in industry. WANT BARS LOWERED Another reason that makes any attempt to change the present immigration laws interesting to Negroes is that it is reported that southern statesmen are being important in the country, and lowering the immigration bars so as to allow more foreign labor to enter the field in the North and West may become more tightly closed to the Negro. This they believe will check the general exodus of laborers from plantations. The new immigration bill as constructed by the House has provisions even more favorable to the race than the present law. It provides that the basis for determining the percentage quotas be fixed on the 1890 census instead of the 1910 census as now obtain and the percentage quotas is reduced from 3 to 2 per cent. The cut in the African quote, which is already, relatively, in the same direction, is however SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR MASS MEETING Dr. J. E.

Read This Mr. John Wick No matter how long you have been sick or how much you have suffered, you must not give up hope. Mr. John Wick, of Monomone Falls, Wisconsin, did not and is a well man today. In September, 1918, he wrote: "I have been a user of Pe-ru-na for nearly twenty years. I had catarrh of the stomach for ten years. Nothing did me any good. I grew worse until a friend advised me to try Pe-ru-na. While using the first bottle, I felt I had found the right medicine. I am entirely cured. My weight was down to 135 pounds and now I weigh 195 pounds. I have used very little medicine for the last ten years." The condition known as catarrhal is not confined to the nose and throat. It may be found wherever there are mucous membranes and is responsible for a multitude of troubles. Coughs and colds are catarrhal as well as stomach and bowel disorders. Do as John Wick did. Keep Peru-na in the house. It stimulates digestion, aids in throwing off the poisonous secretions, enriches the blood, increases the resistance to disease and promotes good health generally. Insist upon having genuine Pe-ra-na in either tablet or liquid form. Your dealer has it. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE clock, Rev. J. C. Bond officiated, assisted by Rev. Lane, Wiggins and McNair.

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. Where is the gain in shooting your sweetheart who has soured on you and hanging for it? Harvard's rule against Negro freshmen sounds like our old acquaintance, the "Grandfather Clause." Destitution and war clouds grow denser in Europe every day and the Nations appear powerless to save themselves from the impending death. The K. K. K. now proposes to admit Catholics to membership; evidently feeling that if it can't put them out of business it can get them into disrepute. Florida seems to have a way of lynching Pullman porters that does not leave a trace. It does not seem to get out until the porter's train gets back to New York. M. Coue, the auto-suggestor from France, has had a great success with his theory in the United States. Even Mary Garden, the grand opera star, says her voice has been improved by following M. Coue's suggestions. Alexander Pope may have hit the nail on the head when he said: "Know thyself; the proper study of mankind, is man." How many persons know themselves or try to do so? We have not as yet got the details of the "gigantic" plan for business expansion of the race, presented to the Committee on Business Promotion of the National Negro Business League, by Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, but we are satisfied that any plans of the sort thought out and presented by Mr. Spaulding will be sound and safe and worked out properly will be of benefit to the race. The Young Men's Christian Association locally is in a precarious way and unless the Christian men-of the community come to its rescue its days are numbered. To suffer the loss of this valuable property and the suspension of the work that the Association has been doing will set the city back a generation so far as welfare work among boys and men is concerned. A 'little united effort upon the part of citizens is all that is necessary to save this valuable institution, and this effort should materialize soon if the Christian manhood of the city wishes to avoid a loss that it surely cannot afford to sustain at this time. Secretaries James and Gentry have made many sacrifices to keep the work alive, but they and the board which is backing them need and merit the support of the community. --- The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is the only secular race paper in the United States that carries the international Sunday school lessons prepared by a member of the race. And from the favorable reaction of our readers to the department conducted by the Rev. Mr. Briggs, it is growing in popularity. A minister of high standing, who has made a special study of Sunday school work referred to Rev. Briggs comments upon the Sunday school lessons recently as being "one of the best features of the paper, and one that is well worth the price of subscription alone." The JOURNAL AND GUIDE strives to give its readers the best service possible, its news service and special features being paid for at prices which the publishers regard as an investment in good-will which will bring its proper return in time, even though they constitute expensive overhead charges now. And the publishers are contemplating even better things for our readers to materialize during 1923. This paper, sees no serious objection to the proposal of the Daughters of the Confederacy, supported by Congressman Stedman and Senator JohnSharp Williams, to erect a monument to the memory of the black "mammies" of the Old South. The Old South has preserved many of its original traditions, some of which appear to be out of place in the light of modern conditions, and it is not so surprising that the passing generation of the Old South should wish to memorialize their black "Mammies" as it is that they have waited so long to do so. The greatest wonder is that Senator Williams and Congressman Stedman should propose that the funds to provide the memorial should come out of the federal treasury and that it should be situated in Washington if appears that the funds should come directly out of the pockets of the black Mammies' beneficiaries and their descendants and should be sited in the heart of the South. To those who are irritated at the thought of such a memorial may we suggest that it is possible, and even probable, that the New South will do more as the years go by to insure civil justice and industrial opportunity for the lineal descendants of the black "Mammy." AFRICANS FOR THE AFRICAN WORK It is of very great interest to learn that the Methodist Episcopal Church, through its Board of Foreign Missions, has determined to extend the work of educating native Africans for native African work, and that it will send Rev. Thomas S. Donohough its associate secretary for Africa and India; to Africa to make a survey of the African work and its requirements. The return of Bishop Clair, of the same Church, to his work in West Africa, after spending some months in this country in the interest of his work, is also of great interest. Bishop Clair has a full appreciation of the needs of the African work, and of the supreme importance of educating the natives for the native work. We believe his programme, as we remember it when he first went to Africa two years ago, also comprehended industrial education along with mental education of the natives, so that student labor and the skilled labor of those educated in the mission schools could assist materially in the maintenance and upbuilding of the mission work. We believe it would be to the advantage of the missionary work of all denominations if they would establish mental and industrial training schools for the natives with the ultimate purpose of giving them the conduct of the mission work in Africa. Few missionaries of either race ever go to Africa with the purpose of remaining there as a life work. The Bishops do not look forward to any such thing. They all look forward with Apleasant anticipations to the time when they can return to the United States, having finished their term of service in Africa. A native African Bishop would not regard the work in that way, and would be all the more valuable to the work because he did not. And natives should be educated for the African work in Africa. When they are educated in the United States they seldom care to return to their native land. They prefer to remain in the United States. There are several such 'Africans' in the United States at this time, and they no sooner finish one "special course" in our colleges than they take up another, as a sufficient and convenient way of not returning to Africa. The native educated in Africa for the African work would naturally want to work where he was educated and among his own people. From a sufficient body of such graduates of African Mission schools the Bishops and preachers and mission workers in the African field of the future could be wisely chosen, and with the greatest advantage to the ultimate redemption of Africa. WANTED: A COMMUNITY SPIRIT In the last issue of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE we noted the fact that Norfolk's Negro population had reached 55,868. That number constitutes a good size city in itself and should show some activities that in the concrete are worth while and mean something to the community of which 55,868 people are a part. It is true that we have our "splendid homes, churches, schools, business enterprises and uplift organizations," also noted in our article last week, but there is something lamentably lacking. Is it not the want of a Community Spirit. A "community spirit" may be variably defined . For the sake of brevity let us assume that it means that everybody in the community decides that "we'll all go forward together." It means that nobody will hinder any movement so long as that movement is for the good of the whole community. It means that no individual or group of individuals shall hinder the progress of any legitimate business enterprise conducted by another individual or group of individuals by unfair and unjust processes of trade competition. It means that everybody shall exercise a spirit of tolerance toward the weaknesses and short-comings of our business enterprises, our schools, churches, uplift and welfare organizations, and all movements that are intended for the good of the whole community, or that add to the sum total of community progress. It means that everybody shall "pull" for everything that will "add" to the growth and prosperity of the community. A community whose leadership is at loggerheads over fundamental needs; whose members are divided into inconcilable factions; whose religious leaders are out of harmony with its business leaders, and whose every member has decided to "paddle his own canoe," without regard to his neighbor's welfare, is destined to retrograde, to stagnate, to fail, collectively. "We believe that Norfolk is at the threshold of an era of great prosperity. Not the kind of treatment and superficial prosperity that suddenly descended upon the city in the latter days of the late World War, but a permanent, enduring era of opportunity for those wise enough to avail themselves of it. Leading up to cooperative success there are numerous projects that need to be "put over." There are business enterprises that need encouragement; some struggling churches that need assistance; a Y. M. C. A. and a Y. W. C. A. that need refinancing and revitalizing; a Community Health and Thrift Center that needs support; a Travelers Aid and United Charities organizations that are entitled to a much more liberal existence than they are now having, as well as other worthy movements that are essential to a proper functioning community, all of which can be "put over" with ease, if Norfolk's 55,868 colored citizens will get the community spirit. SAME SORT OF LAWLESSNESS IN INDIANA When disease is a small thing and properly treated it may be killed, if it is neglected and allowed to grow upon what it feeds it will in the course of time destroy the person. A large part of the mortality we have is caused by neglect of preventable diseases now treated in their incipient development. In his elaborate address before the Bar Association of Ohio, President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, stressed with unusual emphasis the spread of lawlessness in the United States, although we have some 70,000 statutes on our law books and are adding to them every year. Not only President Butler, but the American Bar Association, in its recent meeting at San Francisco, and the most thoughtful newspapers and preachers in the Nation are emphasizing the lawlessness which has cankered in the American system and threatens its life. Every day's reports in the newspapers testify to the lawlessness that is eating the life out of the Nation and justifies the fears of the wise men of the Nation. If lawlessness aimed at the Negro, begun in the South over fifty years ago and tacitly tolerated by the Nation, had been smothered in its incipiency the Nation would not now be confronted with a condition of lawlessness which threatens its life. It has gradually spread from the Southern States, where it was started fifty years ago and has been kept alive as a political makeshift until it now covers the Nation as a pall of death. The other day Rosewood in Florida, was visited, with lawless terror in which five people were killed and the town with its church destroyed by fire, because of the criminal act of a Negro, as alleged, who made good his escape. Those who were murdered and their property destroyed had nothing to do with the criminal act alleged. The scene shifts to Blanford, a small mining town in Indiana, containing only a thousand inhabitants, mostly foreigners and colored people. A young girl was alleged to have been outraged and the Negro unknown was accused. The whites demanded that the Negroes produce the alleged criminal or leave the town. Most of them left, but a few of the better and more thrifty sort refused to leave. Two of them, proprietors of a small business, were assaulted. The sheriff went to investigate the assault. He visited a hall where the whites were making哭, when the latter opened fire. Two of the rioters were killed and the sheriff and another were wounded. But the guilty person has not been captured, and the Indiana authorities are not on the trail of the lawless miscreants, thinking and acting differently than the Florida authorities, who are leaving the miscreants of the Rosewood outrage to pursue unmolested the even tenor of their sins, which will find them out later. Now, if the people who had nothing to do with the business of crime or punishment of crime, had left the matter to be dealt with by the lawful authorities, at Rosewood and Blanford, the guilty persons would probably have been apprehended and ten persons would not have been killed or maimed for taking the law into their own hands. Meanwhile, the lawless spirit thrives upon the license it usurps and is allowed to misuse unchallenged by law or public opinion. How can a State or Nation endure when such a condition is allowed to hitch itself upon the National body? (By W. ALFRED WILKINS) Frivolities of youth stain every life Of stateman-marty as of peasant- laborer; But we know, that in the strife And turmoli; in the tossings of in- action; stain; Put to flight each hellish fiend Of hatred or brutal passion lain Since ancient day in human breast— For your love was for man. Thy love was tried; worthily its test, Thy love for children of every clan. REV. S. S. MORRIS TO SPEAK IN PHILA. Rev. S. S. Morris, general secretary, Allen C. E. Leagus, has accepted an invitation from the local League. Un- Cheer up. After all, the Ground Hog might be a better prophet than those who predicted lower prices on food stuff. Whether Lincoln originated the phrase about "fooling the people" or not, is of no concern to wild-cht-stock scheme promoters. Considering the amount of newspaper publicity given Rev. Grant's views of the Bible, Divinity Schools will soon be requested to change their courses of study in order to meet popular demand. Congressmen, whose palms are itching to do something for "Colored Mammies" are apparently more anxious to invest in stone and concrete for decorative purposes than food, lodging and education for perpetuative purposes. Dr. Coue lamentes that fewer men than women attend his lectures while in the U. S. A. Nothing unusual about that; most men get all the lecturing they want at home. A uniform divorce law might alleviate the present status of marriage. But did you ever see a speed maniac observe a detour sign unless it obstructed his passage. France and Germany are practical applications of Newton's laws of motion and rest. A body in motion, etc., a body at rest, etc., and there you are.

Sir: Your paper has been coming to my desk for the past six years. I have always found it one of the best Negro papers that is being published and almost indispensable to my work. But since it has been carrying Prof. Briggs' Sunday school lessons, I have found it of very much greater value to me personally, and I am sure it is to the Negro home in general, to these lessons very inspirational and instructive to the layman, but to the teacher, as well, who is leading a class in the study of the lessons. "Then, too," I am thinking of, the great, good the JOURNAL and the doing its readers by carrying these, excuse for any reader of your paper not knowing his or her Sabbath school lesson, week by week, and in a few years having an intelligent grasp of the material that makes one "wise to salvation." Prof. Briggs' presentation of the lessons is possessed of most excellent qualities, that will at once comment his treatment of the lessons to the student. He is brief, comprehensive and thorough. And his unique method of teaching is so effective that students-thru copious quotations from the highest and best authorities makes him stand alone among writers of Sabbath school literature, so far as I have had opportunity to observe. I therefore think him original and mod-ulous, which are traits of greatness. With this knowledge, I open the door of the literary library of the world and the ages, and say to you, as it were, "walk in and feast on the best thought of today to your edification, spiritually, and intellectually, and know the Word of God as it is known thru the minds and hearts of men who give themselves and tal- For the young minister who has not enjoyed seminary training great profit it in a homelife way can be derived from studying his simple but striking models as models for treatment of large bodies of Scripture, in expository preaching.

M. E. Church. Rev. Morris, will presch Sunday morning and evening in two of the city's largest Fridays evening for Philadelphia. THE APPEAL OF THE 81 Eighty-one Southern educators have joined in an appeal to Governors, legislators and citizens generally "to exert their influence constantly and actively in condemnation of the crime of lynching" and "to enact, if necessary, and persistently enforce, such laws as will put a stop to this speech of lawlessness." Approximately enough, the appeal is broadcast by men of the South. This section stands charged with the sixth-three of the sixty-one lynchings recorded in 1921. Of the sixty-one lynchings reported in 1920, the South is charged with fifty-two. Of the eighty-three in 1919, the South is charged with seventy-eight. The burden of guilt, lighter in some years than in others, but always sharply to the discredit of this section of the United States, dogged record of the South through the lynchings statistics of the last third of a century. Against so shameful a blot on Southern civilization it is proper that the leaders of Southern education should wage unremitting war. Theirs is peculiarly the influence that is position to help. Laws are simply powerless because the lynching is lynched. There is already sufficient law on the statute books to bring lynchers to justice whenever and wherever a sufficiently aroused public opinion can be brought to bear on their enforcement. The problem is social rather than legal. It will be brought only the way of solution, measure that public opinion in the South comes to regard the crime of mob murder with the same loathing that it regards assassination by individuals. Such an attitude toward the crime that is today the South's principal reproach will be most speedily made public by universal education. There will surely come a day in the South when lynching will be unknown except as the act of criminals—so condemned by universal opinion and in this spirit dealt with. In hastening that day's coming, no elephant, play a more important role in the growing mind it is to lead the growing mind into a sound understanding of law, order and the dignity of human life—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. THE NEGRO IN POLITICS The Negro race, acting as a unit in politics, is a deterrent to its own progress and the progress of the political party it espouses. The thing for the Negro to do is to get out of politics as a body, and vote for men in politics. The Negro will never be able to put over special legislation as a race issue. It will have to find its destiny in, and seek what relief rightly belongs to it, through one of the old parties. In some countries, it is the best interest of the community for the Negro to vote the Republican ticket; in others it will probably be for the public good to support the Democratic ticket. The Negro should quit voting as a race and take a stand as a party. He would have broader views of politics, and submerge racial demands in to the demands for the common good of all the people. When the Negro does that; when he works for his community regardless of race or color, then he will begin to take a stand as a party. He would have broader views of substantial proportions. But, when he brings out racial issues, he is lost, and cannot hope to gain a hearing. He should be aware of the politician hunting votes. It is easy to find the politician hunting votes, and those promises fulfilled after the votes are counted—Durham, (N.C.) Morning Herald. CHANGING TIMES The time is no more when a Southern white man can play loose and fast with Negro women, use them as the playthings of a brute lust and get away with it. The case of former Commissioner of Revenue Alston D. Watts shows how the Southern attitude has changed toward misinformation. Caught uninterested in bed room, Mr. Watts old man Watts confesses in tears that he is ruined. Twenty years ago "gentlemen" would have had a good laugh over such an affair and no scandal would have been made of it. This does not necessarily imply that we are superior to our ancestors; there are many things morals today-than there were twenty years ago as the police of any town will testify. The old rouse who used to have to take a colored wrench or nothing, can now go on the streets after dark and pick up white girls fifteen years old, and from that age the manning of the Negroes themselves are waking up. The commerce of white men with their women is a sore subject with the Negroes of today. I suspect that watchful colored people themselves tipped the capital police off in the case of old man Watts; they have done it in other towns in North Carolina, the white man who seeks colored girls for lover in the South today has the moral element of both races to reckon with. It was not always so—Elizabeth City, (N. C.) Independent. FRANKLIN, VA. (John D. Lester E. Sanderin) Miss G. Lester died at the F. N. and I. Institute in February 4. Mrs. J. H. Weller her aunt accompanied the remains to Valentine, Va., for interment. *There was a social given at the home of Miss A. Hardy, Friday night, February 2. Miss B.

ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Roberta Yarbough announces the marriage of her husband, Miss Mamie Stancil, to Mr. Charles Cobb, which took place Tuesday, October 5, 1922, in New York City. The report of the Director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, reveals commendable progress in the activities of the organization for just closed. the year june, the year taken to the most difficult task of the Director, that of raising money, the work of the Association has been eminently successful. raged by the appropriation $250.00 obtained from the Carnegie Corp- ation last year, the Director, appealed to the Board for the same con- sidence. Last February one of these, the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Mem- orial, appropriated $250.000.永 work payable in annual amounts of the same amount of that obtained from Carnegie Corporation. During the fiscal year 1921-1922, thirty-seven persons, most of whom were Negroes, contributed to the whereas, previous fiscal number was larger. years ago. The appropriation of $25,000 obtained from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial requires the employment of investigators to develop the studies of the Free Negro Prior to 1861 and of Negro Reconstruction History. The annual allowance of $5,000* is devoted altogether to this work, masmuch as special instructions received from the Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, prohibit the money for any purpose. The Association, therefore, emends George Francis Dow to read the eighteenth century colonial newspapers of New England, C. G. Woodson to make a study of the Free Negro Prior to 1861, A. A. Taylor to study the Social and Economic Conditions of the Negro during the Reconstruction, and a clerk serving the investigator in the capacity of a copyist; At present Mr. A. A. Taylor is spending only one-half of his time at this work, but after the first of next June he will attend a special attention allotment to this task. During this year it is expected that he will complete his studies of the Social and Economic Conditions in Virginia and South Carolina. In the study of the Free Negro the Director has spent the year compiling a statistical report giving the names of free Negroes who were heads of families in the South in 1830 showing the number in each family and the number slaves owned by few months ago, the report dealing with Lolinians, South Carolina and North Carolina will be completed. The Association is also directing attention to the work of training men for research in this field. The program agreed upon is to educate in the best graduate schools with libraries containing works bearing on Negro life and history at least three young men a year, supported by fellowships of $500 from the Association and such additional stipend. The Association will support the support of the undertaking. One of these students will take up the study of Negro History, one will direct his attention to Anthropometric and Psychological measurements of Negroes, and one to African Anthropology and Archaeology. In this undertaking the Director has not only the cooperation of Prof. Carl Russell Fish, of the University of Wisconsin, and Prof. William E. Dodd, of the University of Mississippi, and the Committee of Fellowship but also the assistance of Professor Franz Boes and E. L. Thorndike of Columbia University and of Professor E. A. Hooton of Harvard University. Closely connected with these plans, moreover, are certain other projects to preserve Negro folklore and that fragments of Negro music. In this eyort the Association has the cooperation of Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons, the moving spirits of the American Folklore Society. She is now desirous of making a more systematic effort to embody this part of the Negro civilization and she believes that the work can be more successfully done by the Association. As soon as the Director can obtain a special fund for this particular work, an investigator will be employed to undertake it. The interest manifested in the study of Negro History in clubs and schools has been very encouraging. Most of the advanced institutions of learning in both North and South now use of the Journal of Negro History in teaching social sciences.

SEGREGATION POLICY SPONSORED BY SHERRILL (MORIS BROWN) (Washington, "Correspondent") Washington, D. C., Jan.—The recommendation of Lieutenant Colonel Clarence O. Shrerr, who is in charge of public buildings and grounds, to the Secretary of the Army, a lieutenant-crow bathing school for Negroes established by the Government reservation at Rosslyn, Virginia, has brought about two-fold opposition. NEGROES AND WHITES PROTEST Protestations have been made against the proposal by several colored organizations in Washington and by white Virginians of Arlington County. The matter is now before Secretary Weeks for approval or rejection. Negroes are against the suggestion because it will impose upon them an additional segregation in the National Capitol. They are demanding that the Tidal Basin be open to them as well as to whites, inasmuch as the beach belongs to the Government and its unkeen is out of Federal funds. White Virginians in Arlington county contend that the location of a bathing beach for Negroes on the Government reserve at Jackson in full view of every bridge passing over the river would be a disgrace to the county. They have suggested a place known as "Buzzard's Point," and have appealed to Senator Swanson and Representative R. Walton Moore to do what they can to prosecute the location of the bridge near Sellyn. In what document Colonel Sherrill is a North Carolinian, and it seems that he has been more busily engaged in devising new methods and forms of segregation and in finding new places for carrying out his schemes since he has been in charge of prosecutions and graings and supervising and looking after sanitary conditions. PUT SEGREGATION SIGNS IN PARK It was only last Easter morn when colored Washington awoke to find that segregation signs had been put up by orders of Colonel Sherrill in Rock Creek Park upon his own responsibility; and only after J. Finley Wilson, editor of The New York Times, insisted the matter, had threatened to take the matter up directly with Secretary Weeks were the signs removed. Now, that Colonel Sherrill would have Negro bathers from the District of Columbia go into Virginia, the governor, whether or not he is responsible for the initiation of members of the Ku Klu Klan, under the dome of the Capitol where the term "Negro" was used, Roosevelt had laid in state, as revealed, sometime ago. The probable outcome will be that there will be no bathing for Negra bathers in the District of Columbia next summer. It is highly improbable that Tidal Basin will be open to them.

Ministers Outline Their Plans For 1923 (Special Te Journal and Guide) Greenville, N. C.-The following ministers gave out the following as their plans for 1923: (By Rev. A. B. Askew) First, a general survey of the church as its life and influence touch the community and the community life where the church is located. This survey will enable me to better determine the exact agencies into which the membership of the church may be organized for a future religious campaise. Second, an objective development of spirituality, upon the part of the members of the church. This course will increase future growth of the congregation and perpetuate a disposition of loyalty as well. The object of this is to addorious attraction to the house of God. This objective spirituality will include a pointed time when the religious life of the church can best be displayed and its influence more widely spread. Third, an encouragement of a financial substantiation with which to represent the different departments of the church at all times with credit. Our intention is to do more this year than last, and our plans successfully we solicit the of the general public. Last year we collected about five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). I am offering thanks to the public for assistance given. (By Rev. W. M. Griffin) My brother in 1923 was generally satisfactory. I have four churches. One at Washington, N.

Battle, who is scheduled to die next month for the murder of Mrs. Eleanor L. Brigham at Orange, N. J., is suffering from a form of insanity, according to physicians who examined him yesterday at the request of his counsel. A formal inquiry into his sanity is expected as the result of the doctors' findings. The physicians' were Dr. Charles A. Rosewater and Dr. Ambrose Dowd, of the Newark City Hospital, who reported to County Judge Stickel and Prosecutor Bigelow after they made a five-hour examination of the prisoner at Trenton. The physicians expressed the opinion that Battle did not have physical or mental force enough to have beaten Mrs. Brigham to death. William P. Brandon, Battle's lawyer, indicated that he would request a formal examination of his client. Battle is just a poor boob who would sign any confession put before him. The wrong man is in the death house." Brandon said. Attorney Brandon is the son of Kenneth and known eti- zip of Forksburg, Va. HONOR DOUGLASS FEBRUARY 14 Boston, Mass., January—The National Equal Rights league calls upon the Race in every place to hold public annual exercises, on Wednesday, Feb. 14, in observance of the 106th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, chattel slave, self-freed man, anti-slavery editor, author-publisher and advocate of the abolition of slavery, soldier soldiers to kill slavery, adviser to presidents, federal officeholders, United States minister, premier advocate of liberty and rights without regard to race or color. In honest or of respect for Douglass the league asks for a chain of observances by bodies or committees, for collective contribution to his Race's liberty and history was his breaking away from the larger fight under the leadership of friends outside his Race, and leading a fight for and by the Race itself on "its own book." This principle cost him the most sacrifice and struggle, and is what his career most stands for after the day he was born. "The North Star." To truly honor him an observance needs be held under organized Race auspices. This historic Douglass principle, "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow" which alone, will give us, "a place, in the sun" of full citizenship or of history, is the foundation stone of the Equal Rights league. Hence it invites formation of this and other Race chronicles. Its suggests that all Lincoln observances be held Sunday, Feb. 11. A Large and Enthusiastic Audience Witness Glee Club Performance in Baltimore. Baltimore, MD—Not since the Roland Hayes farewell given several years ago has Bethel A. M. E. Church Rev. Fred; Douglass, pastor, been so completely filled with an audience and attended there January 20, when the Amphion Glee Club, J. Henry Lewis, director, was presented by the Post Office Glee, of Baltimore. A pleasant feature of this event was the spirit of co-operation manifested between the organization and the university jointly under the directorship of Mr. Lewis, and the closing number was similarly given with Mr. Thomas handling the baton. The Amphions received a great ovation and were compelled to respond to frequent and insistent encounters. After the recital a reception was to take place at the Royal Palace Hotel and this was attended by many notable people. The Post Office Glee Club is composed of a fine set of young men who are connected with the government service in Baltimore, and although it is only two years old their concerted efforts are still strong. The Amphibians will appear in Norfolk in the near future under aupies of the Norfolk Lycme Association. RALEIGH. N. C.

BY REV. J. E. BRIGGS Instructor of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. GOLDEN TEXT. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise. P. 51:17. The Prayer of the Urgent Widow-Vi. 1-8. Men ought to always pray and not faint. "Suppose we turn the counsel into a promise. Men ought always pray, and they will not fail. "Suppose we turn the counsel into a promise it is because a line of communication has somehow been cut, and he has lost touch with his base of supplies. He has become separated from his spiritual resources, and he has been lost to love. "Jowett) This is a parable the widow and the unjust judge. An enemy had wronged, this widow, stolen her property perhaps and she appealed to the judge. In the Orient a judge has no jury, no court of review, little law but his own judgment or whim, and full authority to enforce his law. In the Middle-Middle Age the unjust judge figned not God, neither regarded man but he avenged the man. In the Middle-Age, coming she would wear him out. The widow's importunity, continual-asking-secured from the judge consideration and behold, Sure God is more, just than the unjust judge, and will avenge his sleet who The unjust judge ferged not God, neither regarded him, but a widow lest by her continual coming she would wear him. The unjust judge, importantly, continued asking secretly from the judge consideration and help. The God is more, than the unjust judge, and will avenge his elect who cried into him day and night. "The unjust judge more." Every point in the description of the unjust judge is to be revered, and then we shall have of our own unjust judge, not do noteless for his wife of our unjust judge, nor doeless sorrows, nor deaf to our prayer. If his judgment seems to slumber, the delay is the warring of love, and is for our good."Mary兰 I tell you that God shall avenge his elect speedily, "Christ's comforts his disciples who even now threatening, by which they will visit their persecutors ((the Jews and afterwards the heathen); with condid, punishment the heathen; with the killed the nations which over took the Jews and chief heathen persecutors of the Christian-Ammunnel, Wa. v. 9-14. Be not afraid, to pray to pray is right: Pray if you canst with hope-but ever The hope be, weak, or sick with long delay, Pray in the darkness, if there be no result. "In this parable we note three contrasts which impress its lesson: contrasted men, contrasted results." -Rev. George Henry Hubbard. The Pharisee prayed a self-righteous prayer. He was not like other men who are extortors. He was not like other men who are worst for he was self-centred, and self-sufficient. "Every woman in the Pharisee's prayer is not prayed to self-compliance, in not prayed to God, but soliloquy in his own pride, and it was in equal parts adulation of himself and stander of other men. Such a person is not for anything he brought not petitions. God is named once All the rest is, I. I. I. I. He had no living for communion, no aspiration. The publicman would not so much as approach the temple, but stood afar off, and remote his breast and prayed, Lord, be merciful. There in ancient Oriental story of a sultan who failed to awaken one morning at the hour of prayer, the devil awaken him up and yelled at the sultan, "Never mind! my mind is not good, it is not!" replied the devil. "No matter who the good action that is taking place," the devil said, "Ten. You are the Satan, and you must have some bad motive, the sultan persisted. "You are the tempter, that's your business," he set up and pray. "Well, said the devil. "If you had slept and forgotten your prayers, you would have been sorry for it, and you would have been a satan and you must not neglect a single prayer for ten years, you will be so satisfied with yourself—that it will be worse for you than it was for you." The devil God loves your fault mixed penience more than your virtues seasoned with pride. "Two went to pray? or, rather say, One went to brag, and the other to pray." BRIGGSQGRAMS In the providence of God there is a place for prayer and its answer. Petition and supplication-lowest kind of prayer. A good Christian always prays, carries in him everywhere the atmosphere of prayer. Prayer in its loftest sense is desire for peace. There are no unanswered prayers—he who meets the conditions of prayer will either have petition granted or the desire for it will not. Just as much an answer to prayer as yes. EDENTON N. C.

Hannah's Millions A Brownie Story in Serial Form Chapter 3 HANNAH'S MILLION HANNAH'S MILLION "Hanah," he said, as he burst into the kitchen, Saturday morning, "Have you seen the Guide? "Yes, but what's the great news?" "If you didn't see what would make your thinkers go you better open your eyes and see again. You aren't afraid of being a pany." So two woolly heads were scanning the Brownie corner for gems of goodness: they had omitted and when they came to the last word of peek-a-boo's talk they got out their pencils and began to figure, "What are you going to do Henry and nab every available person in town. I tell you a good way to sell a thing. First, make yourself a customer and find out just how well you like that thing yourself and just realize bad and go out and tell the other fellow what you thing about it. Well we know pretty well what we think of the Guide. It is the best Brownie paper in the whole United States and every Negro should read it. Let's Henry and make it hard. Don't forget the kids and the Brownie stuff." "Hannah, to be a sure enough salesman you must first spot your prospective customer and find out if he has the thing you have to sell, then make him buy it. Let me show him to have it. Let's canvas this town and find out who does not take the Guide and then show them that they must take it or lose a great deal. You can make making a sign that read "Do you read the Guide? Why not?" and tacked samples of it on their fences. This question they put to every grown Brownie in the县ville. They made talk about the Guide and they sold subscriptions. "When the next paper came the children had earned $6.25; they were so happy that they could not figure which part went for personalis and which for business. Henry scored with the first agencies, $1.56 and $3.13 for capital. Our capital saw a total of $8.13." After this getting subscriptions for the Guide become a regular part of their week's work and slowly but surely the capital. "We the Financial agencies eyes open for a profitable investment," said the president. "Where did you get that word Henry. What is a profitable investment? Its something what you do to make money increase fast. Lets find what this town needs most Henry, its just plain kindness." "Shuhka Hammil a girl can stick to business. What's kindness to do to business. What's whole lot Henry. Our first capital was of kindness and I just want the president of this company to understand that if this business is not built on just plain goodness, we are going to elect another president. Do not have opportunity for doing a good deed for this business, we are Brownies and a Brownie will do a good deed always." When Henry came in from his evening, romp he was muddy from head to foot but a big smile played over his face and the corners of his mouth wereurned upward in a grim. "What's up Henry, why are you all over muddy?" "Hurry, you be the and I promised never to miss doing good deed and I waded in the creek after a little stray dog, 'but who do you think he belonged to? I didnt know first off but just as I was cleaning him off along came the banker's kid and said I was her'n and see what Reckon Hamm's right about kindness enterprise, A good business. The next meeting of the Financial Agency opened with a talk by the president.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA PROGRESSIVE CHURCH STREET MERCHANTS All Sorts of Suggestions Made For Correct Spelling of Three Words. Interest in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE misspelled word contest continues among our readers. The replies this week were productive of much humor as many of our amateur proof readers picked the words that were spelled incorrectly, but many also suggested all sorts of ways as the correct spelling. The greatest doubt seemed to hang on the word Jewelry. Any number of contestants informed the contest editor that the word should be spelled "Jewellery." Others suggested that we drop one "S" in newstand. Still others very kindly informed the contest editor to spell Corner, Coroner. There was one who thought we should abbreviate the word advertisement thusly: "Add," instead of "Ad." Another would inform Mr. Snider to spell his name, "Snyder." One industrious lady reused the large and discovered that Milwaukee had been spelled ending with three "E's." Of course, that was an error and our kind informant was correct, but that word did not appear in any of the ads, so it did not count in her answer. Some chose four words, which, of course, disqualified their answers. The prizes were won by Miss Thelma Mitchell, 1111 Wide street, and Mr. Joseph Webb, 1417 Anne street. Words purposely misspelled were: Jewelry, Corner, Vegetables and Like. Replies were received as early as Saturday morning in the first mail, but there were no actual winners before Monday afternoon. Three words must be chosen to win the prizes. However, the choosing of three words and spelling them correctly is not a guarantee of winning even if the answer should be the first received. The three words chosen must correspond with the three chosen by the contest editor as those upon which prizes will be awarded. Four words incorrectly spelled are chosen by the contest editor, written on a strip paper, and filed away in the safe. The paper of these words are selected as prize winners. When the replies are received the one containing three words tallying exactly with those in the safe will be declared the prize winner. So, it will be seen from this that there is an element of luck into it as well as industry. This method is used in order to make the contest more interesting and at the same time NICK LALLI O.

None of the owners hit him, fired three bullets at him, according to the police. Watson died a few minutes later. After the shooting Watson staggered to the street, where the Negroes in the neighborhood were threatening Jackson and William Brady, Negro, the other of the three officers arrived.

Two of our hardest foug h games were played against V. N. & I. I. Garter. The old 'alma mate. Both games were played at Petersburg and argyll, and show to what extent the day compare with PETER H. The first game was played on the school campus at Petersburg, and after a fierce and bloody struggle, ended with the big win. It was in this game that Walter Spriggs, one of our players, was badly injured and lay in a state of coma for a several hours. The following day, less than twenty four hours we met at the Capitol in Colorado City. It was a battle royal as reported by the Index-Appel, and not until a few minutes to play was a score made. Clem Branch, now one of the leading colored doctors, took down defeating us to 0. That the teams were evenly matched can be attested by two games being played with only one score. To think that for one hour and forty minutes (enty nine minutes) two pilots eleven fought so skillful can imagine what wonder Other Games With Other Teams Our showing against Petersburg won us consideration from other colleges, Heartland being one of the games played here resulted in a tie game, 0 to 0, and the following year we met at Portsmouth, the fence of the local grounds being blown down by a severe storm. This game also the first game with defeat starring her in the face. It was in this game that John Craig's hand was called by me, which I believe had much to do with his subsequent career. We had formulated plays played out of "silent" signals.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" At The Star Theatre A special attraction in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," by W. Griffith Co., will be thrown on the screen at the Star Theatre 815 Church Tuesday, next week. The photoplay features an all-star cast of colored film actors. It is one of the most appealing and realistic race dramas shown on the screen. It is said that for three months crowds were turned away from a Broadway theatre when this picture was released. The Star's opening attraction on Monday will be "The Better Man Wins." This is a western feature, starring Merrison. "Hear Ear Rave," a Harold Lloyd film, "feel comedy," "White Masks," a western feature, starring Franklin Farnum; "Radio King," with Roy Stewart; "Mr. Hippo," a Pathe comedy make up the program for the week. It is a good place for the entire week and laughs and tears are in store for movie fans who watch the screen at the Star next week.

From "silent" signals it was a quick change to calling them. It was a nonpunishment on our managers who never know what next to expect. Craig who was playing at half-back was given the ball on a call signal. El-thaafraid of Howard's reputation as染色 champions, or perhaps not catching the signal in time he made a pun and pun attentive to the ball, ball, ball, ball, plainly a case of "yellow" and quick as a flash I repeated the identical signal. Craig was dumb-founded. He could realize that he would be called so soon. "Who me?" he asked. "Yes you. I replied, 'Get through that line.' He responded a great deal, and he brilliant thereafter throughout his career and was a fine; clean and manly player. player. The Honor Roll Joe Miller and *Abe Johnson* both dead, were our managers and our rooters were legion. This devotion and loyalty could be depended upon until we played Snaw. There were large groups of Norfolk's population from the Old North State who naturally rooted for their beloved "Down Homers," who always gave us a fight worth while. The good old days and fine fellows who composed the Columbias will never come again, but the survivor still play the old game mentally. Who but the old-timers remember these names and their record?

Last year's team has reported in the press that it is expected to be keen because of the exceptional quality of the new men who are also reporting. Among the new men who are out for the squad are: H. A. Wade, of Pittsburgh; H. A. Doyle of Pittsburgh's Freshman team, and the relay team of the Scholastic club of Pittsburgh last year, and who ran on the Alpha Phi Fraternity team which won the inter-fraternity championship. Maced Morris, former star of Lincoln University; H. O. Bright, star anchor man of last year's Freshman team; George Pendleton, of last year's Freshman team; Walker, of Aslanta, and three years experience; R. Brown, of Morgan College; H. P. Williams, of Howard, and many others; "Humpty Brown," former captain and star 440 man of Dumbar Washington, D. H. Brown, the beginning of the spring quarter. All of last year's veterans have reported to Captain "Bob" Craft and Athletic Director L. Watson. The diminutive captain is already showing indications point to a great year on the "cinders" for him. Emmett Wyndon, after a splendid season with the football squad, is in fine condition. Former Captain Raymond Contes, who captained the last fall, is already jogging around the cinder path in his well-known form. Leo Robinson, star anchor man of Howard's Relay Team for two years, and whose great back stretch has been a highlight, Howard Relay Four at the University of Pennsylvania game in 1921 will always be remembered by those who witnessed the event. Despite the lack of time for training due to his work in the field, the "hitting" the track with the avowed intention of "climaxing his athletic career by smashing a record. strife and useless contention that exist. Every player is striving to reach that coveted position. 'Stardom'. Everyone wants to be branded as a star player. 'So-and-so' and 'so-and-so' the star so-and-so of a certain team. Such things as that make one feel chesty and with that in view individualism grips him and team works goes. For naggers. Everyone wants to be branded as a letter teammates-assist him in plunging a line on beating of ends and tackles. "No, I can do by myself." he says. LOOK AHEAD!!!

I recall an incident in a game played between a Norfolk team and back of town team. The quail back directed a team the center, his star right played to carry the oval. The impact of his supposed to be interference hit in the position where called, there was a hole large enough to drive an ice wagon through. The interference plied up the yards from the image and looked to see their man had made a sound, found him behind the line of scripimage with two tacklers chung to him where he had attempted to go through another position unseen. Results three yards lost was it would have been eight or ten yards gained either cause is the lack of interest to the extent that players fail to appear at practices. A team cannot be developed without training and an adequate amount of training cannot be obtained without su_client amount of men reporting to their nightly workouts. They only one time may appear and is the night before a game. Then, you will find delinquents, yet every man wants to play in the game whether or not he is fit. Of course, those who are guilty of these things are the so called stars, the ones that cause all the contentions and disagreements. The stars are more of a hindrance Again, everybody wants to be captain. With that playing havoc in any organization, discipline is cast into obscurity. This one disagrees with this thing or that thing and the others take on the same attitude and the practice period ends up at the same place it started nowhere.
