PLAN TO EXCLUDE COLORED MEDICOS FROM HOSPITAL U.S. Veterans' Bureau Does Not Want Colored Medical Staff in All-Colored Government Hospital at Tuskegee. CASE GOES TO PRESIDENT HARDING FOR A DECISION By MORRIS BROWN (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C. April—A definite plan for the exclusion of Negroes from the medical staff of the United States Veterans Bureau at Tuskegee, Alabama, has been formulated. There is already a white superintendent in charge. He is Colonel R. H. Stanley, a native Alabamian, who was transferred from the United States hospital at San Diego, California. Since his appointment he has let it become known that the personnel of his medical staff will be entirely white. This is in agreement with the original plan. However, to appease the indignation of colored persons who were interested, plans for an entire white force were modified by the hiring of colored laborers and orderlies, and later amended to include colored nurses. The first intimation of the exclusion of Negroes from the medical staff was given in an official communication sent out by the United States Veterans Bureau under date of February 3, 1923, in field letter No. 78, in which it was stated that "the medical personnel will be composed of male persons. The chief nurse, chief aid, chief dietitian, and their assistants will be white. The staff nurses, aides and dietitians will probably be colored. The medical officer selected to take charge of this hospital will be from the Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service, of southern birth, and one who thoroughly understands the Negro." PROTESTS AGAINST COLORED STAFF Even this meager recognition of the professional skill and ability of the Nego brought vigorous protests from General R. E. Steiner, department commander of the American Legion, and Governor W. W. Brandon, of Alabama. General Steiner has wired Director Frank T. Hinds, of the Veterans Bureau, and also Edward Clifford, assistant secretary of the Treasury, protesting against the placing of colored on the medical staff. His telegram to Mr. Clifford reveals the fact that opposition to colored doctors, dentists and pharmacists is based upon probable contact with whites, and is as follows: "We were delighted when Col. R. H. Stanley, an Alabamian, was placed in charge of the Tuskegee hospital. If Negroes were placed in the hospital as doctors and others as officers, they would inevitably come into contact with and control over white girls and other white people connected with the institution." Governor W. W. Brandon sent an official telegram, voicing his protest as governor of Alabama against Negroes being put on the medical staff. Because every inmate of this hospital will be colored, General Steiner preferred nurses and orderlies. He is opposed to white nurses caring for colored soldiers of the late World War. He and Superintendent Stanley are in accord on this proposition. Some prominent white Alabamians carry their prejudice to a greater extent and would have an entire white staff. To obviate white nurses caring for colored veterans, they would have the Government give each nurse a colored maid who would perform the duties incident to the position. TO LAY MATTER BEFORE PRESIDENT The final settlement of the whole matter awaits the return of President Harding to Washington. It is understood that he favors a colored personnel, inasmuch as colored veterans will be quartered, at this hospital. In fact, his view brought about the first modification in the original plans and resulted in the civil service commission announcing that examinations for the selection of 15 doctors and 100 nurses would be held soon. POSITIONS TO BE FILLED The following named positions are the ones in dispute as to whether or not they will be filled by colored or white persons: Physicians. General medicine and surgery, salaries ranging up to $3,250 a year; specialists, up to $5,500 a year. Dentists. Salaries from $2,400 to $3,600 a year. Laboratorians; salaries from $1,680 to $2,000 a year. (In Roentgenology, bacteriology, and dentistry). Pharmacists; salaries from $1,680 to $2,000 a year. Graduate nurses; salaries from $1,680 to $2,500 a year. (Chief, assistant chief, head and staff positions.) Reconstruction aides; salaries from $1,710 to $2,000 a year. (In occupational therapy and physiotherapy.) Reconstruction assistants; salaries from $1,400 to $1,600 a year. (In occupational therapy and physiotherapy.) Dietitians; salaries from $1,680 to $2,500 a year. FINEST HOSPITAL This hospital is for colored veterans exclusively and is the finest of its kind in the world. It was built by the United States Treasury Department at a cost of $2,250,000, and the Tuskegee Institute, a Tuskegee Institute. There are 28 permanent buildings, containing about 600 beds, and approximately 302 tubercular patients and 294 neuropsychiatric patients will be cared for. Race Hero Throws Enraged Beast in a Crowded Street Southern Negroes Strike Against Poor Conditions 11 CENT SUGAR, $18 DR. G. CLEVELAND HALL COAL HAUNT HARDING TO SPEAK IN NORFOLK A FREE TRIP TO THE HOLY LAND After many years of successful manufacturing and merchandising in which advertising has been a potent factor, The Madam G. J. Walker, Manufacturing Company now offers to the Christian the race in the form of an advertising biggest opportunity ever offered by bigro corporation in the world, and probably a very few white. Although the offer comes in the form of an advertisement, its general significance surpasses any material gain that may inure to the company through it, for in the taking advantage of this offer leaders of the Christian religion among colored people will have an opportunity to go to the Holy Land, the land where Christ lived, and gain an abundance of education that will have an immeasurable value upon enlightening the world-upon the sacred scriptures. This advertisement departs significantly from the usual prizes offered by large concerns. It does not offer something to eat, or wear, something which will eventually wear out or be destroyed; it offers an education that can be gained in no other way, something that will live thru the ages for the advancement of human intelligence. Readers will find on page 8 of this issue the offer of a trip to the Holy Land by the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. Jackson, Miss March.—The exodus of Negroes from this state has caused a panic among plantation owners. There are 1,000,000 Negroes in Mississippi, and it is estimated that one-tenth of that number has left the state within the past six months. At that rate it will be but short time until the state will be stripped of its plantation labor. Plantation owners see visions of bankruptcy. That they are genuinely alarmed is indicated by their willingness to make an effort to stop the migration by improving conditions on the plantations. 11 CENT SUGAR, $18 COAL HAUNT HARDING Wherever President and Advisers Go, There are Spectres Accompanying Them. Crusader News Service Washington,—Two ghosts have taken seats with the party leaders aboard the Republican houseboat in Florida. One of these ghosts is called Eleven-Cent Sugar and the other is Eighteen-Dollar Coal. Wherever the President and his advisers go for a quiet talk about next year's campaign these gaud spectres of Sugar and Coal trail along to take the joy out of politics. Everybody, it seems, is fond of sugar and requires coal a large part of the year. The vote-hearders on the houseboat simply can't think about politics without wondering how the ordinary man and woman will react at the polls from the sugar and coal robberies, and whom they will kick out of office to express their resent- M. Manly, director of the People's Legislative Service, has driven the Hardin administration into a corner on sugar and is belaboring it with right swings and left uppercuts at this writing. "Stop the sugar crumble," Manly wired to Harding. Hoover dashed to his chief's rescue with a press statement that he was probing the sugar situation for more than a fortnight already. "Then off your probe, which has let sugar go on two cents a pound during that fortnight, and let the Department of Justice start criminal proceedings," is the Manly comeback. Manly reminds the President of how energetically the Department of Justice went into action with inquiries and criminal trials when a labor strike menaced the public comfort, and suggests that Daugherty get out a Federal injunction under the terms of the Sherman law to stop the sugar industry. conspicuous. In its latest broadside, the People's Legislative Service produces evidence to show that Secretary Hoover gave a boost to sugar prices by making a prematurely timed and unjustified forecast of a coming sugar shortage, and that he participated in a plan to limit the Cuban crop outpupt BREAKS LEG IN FALL FROM HOTEL WINDOW Mr. McKenzie Davis, 315 Bute street, bellman at the Hotel Monticello, fell from a second story window on the City Hall avenue side of the hostelry breaking his leg and spraining an ankle, while engaged in washing windows: Tuesday morning. Mr. Davis lost his-hold when he leaned too far out of the window. He was removed to Sarah Leigh hospital; from where it is reported that he is NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 Baltimore, Md.-Charging through Saturday afternoon crowds, a bull ran wild in the heart of the shopping district this afternoon, spreading terror among hundreds of women shopers and pedestrians. Many of the women ran screaming for shelter and the men joined in the chase of the animal. Several blocks away the bull was grabbed by the horns by a Negro and thrown. Though the Negro sat on the bull's neck until police arrived and trussed up the bull no one made any effort to learn his identity. BOY AWARDED $40,000 Philadelphia, March—A verdict of $40,000 was awarded a 9-year-old boy and his father against the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad by a jury in this city. The boy, a shattered piece of humanity, excited great sympathy in court. Both eyes were blown out and his left hand and arm to the elbow were shattered as a result of an explosion of dynamite on the company's property at Scranton. The dynamite was found by the boys in an abandoned shed on the company's property. Attorneys for the railroad charged that the boys were trespassers on company property and that they found the dynamite elsewhere. The father of the boy proved that the boys were given permission to play around the shed. Negroes Strike for Conditions The Jackson Daily News quotes Negro educational experts that the Negroes want an education, they want the sense of ownership and a living ware. "Until the plantations are cut up into smaller plats and sold to the tenants, until a Negro is made to believe that when a bale of cotton is sold he is going to directly share in the proceeds, and until a sufficient number of educational opportunities and iron-civil promises of ample wages come into effect, then, and not till then, is the Negro labor situation going to be settled," says the Daily News. DR. G. CLEVELAND HALL TO SPEAK IN NORFOLK Eminent Chicago Surgeon to Address Lincoln Alumni Association Educational Meeting. The annual educational meeting of the Virginia Chapter of the Lincoln University Alumni Association will be held at St. John's A. M. E. Church Tuesday, April 17. Dr. George Cleveland Hall, of Chicago, eminent surgeon and gifted orator of the race and alumnus of Lincoln will address the meeting. Dr. Hall is of nation-wide reputation as a public speaker and undisputed eminence in his chosen profession. The opportunity to hear this man distinguished alike for his eloquence and professional ability will not likely be missed by Norfolk public. The alumni chapter holds these annual meetings in the purpose of inspiring the youth throughout the state with higher educational ideals and to aid in the extension of educational facilities for its alma mater. The occasion will be the gathering of alumni of Lincoln University from all parts of the state. The exercises at St. John's Church will be public and a large crowd is expected to attend. DR. BURKE HAS NARROW ESCAPE Last Saturday evening Dr. Elizhu D. Burke had a narrow escape from serious and possibly fatal injury when he was struck by a heavy truck while alighting from his car on Church street. By quick presence of the impact, which might have been solid made slanting, but even so he was knocked down, stunned and badly injured. After the accident Burke was removed to his residence on Wood street, where he received medical attention. FOWLER OFFERS 10 PER CENT OFF ON RANGES In these columns appears an advertisement of the Fowler Stove and Roofing Company, 245-247 Main St., in which attention is called to a 10 per cent reduction on the Vest range during the week of April. This announcement is very and it is supposed that many of our readers will take advantage of it, since it is now about time to lay off the hot coal range and use more freely one for household purposes. gas for housekeeping. This company also does a roofing business and as this work can be done more economically at this season of the year, it will be on wise to allow them to estimate on your roofing job. HUGE OIL PROFITS New York, March.—The Tidewater oil company reports last year's profits totaled $4,923,317 after charges for depreciation and depletion were made. NEW SAVINGS PLAN TO BE PUT IN CITY SCHOOLS TUESDAY Metropolitan Bank to Receive Deposits from Colored Schools, Seaboard National from White Schools; Tuesday, Bank Day: TEACHERS RELIEVED OF HANDLING THE ACCOUNTS The new system for teaching thrift in all Norfolk public schools will be put in operation Tuesday, April 10. The new plan is quite a departure from the one now in use in the schools in that it relieves principals and teachers of the irksome details of handling hundreds of small accounts and places the depositors more directly in contact with the banks. The system was adopted this week by the Board of Education after conferences with representatives of Educational Thrift Service. Seaboard National Bank will receive the deposits from the white schools and the Metropolitan Bank and Trust. Company will handle the deposits from the colored schools. Each Tuesday will be Bank Day, when the deposits will be received. All parents are urged to remind the children of Bank Day. Another decidedly advantageous feature of the new plan is that it operates the year round instead of only through the school system at the start of thrift constant with the child. It is certain that this feature will cause the annual school savings deposits to more than double because many school children earn small amounts for themselves during vacation period. EDUCATIONAL AND INSPIRATIONAL The educational and inspirational value of the new plan far surpasses the old one. The bringing of the child in more direct contact with the bank is certain to have greater beneficial results upon its character and habits. Children who now have school savings stamps may deposit them with the bank on Bank Day, and will be credited with the amount just as if so much cash had been deposited. It is expected that parents, guardians and teachers will enter into whole hearted co-operation in teaching Griff to the children under this new and efficient plan. No parent, and certainly no colored parent, can afford to commit the error of allowing their child to go through school without receiving the benefits of this wonderful opportunity to form the thrift habit. It is the purpose of the board of education to install in the schools at the beginning of next session a simple and systematic course in thrift as a part of the regular curricula, which, according to the opinion of business men and others interested in child welfare, no other announcement by the board of education in recent years has meant, as for the good of future citizenship and the future citizenship, to teach thrift as a part of the school course. It is not hard to conjecture what wonderful good would inure to the country if every school child was systematically taught the habits of thrift and 50 per cent carried the habit on through life. MORE COLORED DEPOSITORS Figures on school savings compiled at the end of the session last June, showed that the per centage of school children savers among the colored schools was double that of the white. The per centage for the white children being 28 and for the colored, 57. The figures also showed that deposits in the school savings had fallen off in Norfolk nearly $3,000 from the previous year which indicated that interest in the system which on the wane. This declining interest in the school savings in this city was charged by bankers to the improper system used in the schools, which entailed upkeep of cipals and teachers and endless amount of detail in addition to their regular duties. This addition additional work naturally stiffened the interest of school heads in school savings. Last year there were 11,649 white children enrolled in schools, and only 3,229 of them were enrolled as depositors. There were 5,459 located children in the schools and 3,111 were enrolled as depositors. Norfolk showed small total deposits in comparison with other cities of equal size. The new plan which becomes effective, with its inspirational and educational features for the child and ease of operation with teachers and principals, is certain to cause a great boost in school savings here in the next year. BANKS READY Both banks have prepared their school savings departments and will be ready for the deposits on the first Bank Day, next Tuesday. Many wholesome methods will be suggested to parents and children by interested business men of how school children may earn extra money after school hours, such as selling newspapers, running errands and doing family chores. It is believed and hoped that every child will make it obligatory upon themselves to keep their minds on Bank Day and make a sacrifice to see that their boy or girl makes a deposit along with the other children. It is noticeable that most parents are anxious that their children go to school appearing as well as the children of their neighbors. They like for them to have extra points like those of their neighbors. If this pride is carried on to the savings system there will be but few children unenrolled as depositors. N. CAROLINA TO HAVE EXCLUSIVE COLORED RESORT Shell Island Being Developed by Local Real Estate Operator as Recreation Center and Excursion Resort. Wilmington, N. C.—Colored people of this city, surrounding territory and state are soon to have a first class exclusive summer resort, according to the plans projected and being worked out by J. G. Wright and Son, local real estate operators. The resort will be located at Shell Island, and will be one of the very few, if not the only exclusive colored summer resort in the country. Shell Island is on the North Carolina coast, about 12 miles from Wilmington by electric car transport there is under erection on the place a beautiful and up-to-date pavilion for dancing, restaurant, soft drink stand, etc. Board walks have been installed and electric lights and sewerage will be added before the opening day. The entire control of the property, every store, concession, etc., is being handled by the colored race. Shell Island resort promises to be not only a convention and excursion center, but to be the summer home for some of the best citizens of the race. The management is vory disdainting in its choice of purchasers of the property, as it is their purpose to maintain nothing short of a high class resort. The leading white people of Wilmington realize that the movement is destined to fill a much needed place for the large proportion of the colored population, who have not a first class, exclusive place for their own recreation center. It is planned to throw Shell Island open to the public May 1, which will be the occasion for a great celebration for the colored citizens of Wilmington and nearby towns. RACE VOTERS ELECT DEMOCRAT MAYOR Chicago, Ill.—A Democrat was elected mayor of Chicago Tuesday with the substantial aid of colored voters. Judge William E. Dever, defeated postmaster Arthur C. Leader, Republican by a plurality of 103,748. A Democratic city clerk and city treasurer were also elected. The mayor of the campaign was one of the most hotly contested in the history of the city. Judge Dever's appeal to the race electorate was the promise of a "square deal." In the beginning of the campaign the colored voters were almost solid behind the Republican on morning, but as the campaign on events cropped out, it caused a large block of votes to be deflected to the Democratic side. Recent political events in New York cast their shadows in Chicago, it is believed. By a large Negro vote, John F. Hylan has been twice elected mayor of New York City. His reward to the race for its support has been encouraging to New York Negroes, Judge Dever practically promised if elected mayor of Chicago to go Hylan of New York a little better in his treatment toward the race electorate. Chicago Negroes are intensely interested in securing the appointment of a strong race man on the school board and it is believed the intention of Judge Browne will go a long way toward bringing about that decision. In the final analysis, the election of a 'Democratic mayor in Chicago with the aid of Negro voters is a striking indication of the approach of the emancipation of the Negro voter from parity to men and principles. Hale Thompson attributes his election as mayor of the windy city both times to the aid given him by colored voters.

He urged the enlargement of the organization and offered a suggestion for strengthening same. The speaker was introduced by Mr. Jas. A. Spratley, secretary-treasurer of the club, and the response was given by Mr. Samuel H. Williamson, first vice-president.

SPIDERS MADE USEFUL Few Americans know that when Colonel Goethals was constructing the Panama canal there were six spiders included in the large staff employed in his work; for frome the webs spun by these indefatigable workers the instrument makers take threads for use in all the engineers' transits or surveying instruments, the threads taking the place of platinum wires. It is byno means a novel idea, however. Spiders' threads have been similarly used for some time for specific purposes, in the Royal observatory, London, and on large numbers of micrometers, instruments for measuring microscopic lengths and angles. One of the lenses of that all-important instrument, the transit circle, is crossed by a network of gossiping threads. These are set in perfect parallel lines horizontally and vertically, in this and numerous other instruments, and they aid the scientist in his intricate measurements and in determining with accuracy the meridian—Nature. HOME ECONOMICS RESEARCH YIELDS VALUABLE RESULTS Washington, D. C. - Important research work bearing directly or indirectly upon home economics has been carried on by the States Department of Agriculture for many years and the results have been widely disseminated through department publications. The extent and value of similar work done by the State agricultural experiment stations is not so fully realized. A classified list of the projects carried on by the experiment stations at the present time contains 54 titles under the head of "Foods and nutrition" reported from 24 stations. The internal baking, preservation, milling and baking, storage, and others. There are also 75 other projects which have an important bearing on or application to some phase of home economics. The research work of the department, and the experiment stations has contributed largely to our exact knowledge of the composition, digestibility, and nutritive value of foods and food materials of all kinds, the food habits of different classes of people, and the food requirements of people of different ages and occupations. Investigations of such staple food materials as wheat and other cereals, meat, and milk products have been especially thorough and complete. The functions of vitamins in nutrition, the conditions that control their proportion in foods, and their stability under different processes of preservation are receiving a large amount of attention. Knowledge of the efficiency of different proteins and of the function of the mineral constituents of food has been greatly enlarged and clarified. Other research work has included studies of the quality of wool and other fibers; water supply, sewerage disposal, and sanitation in country homes; household arrangement, equipment, and work; various phases of marketing; cost and standardization of living on the farm; and certain problems of rural sociology.

Ethiopians Not Negroes Says Reisnet Boston, Mass—Almost simultan- eous with the announcement, of the unearthing of the tomb of king Tut- ankh-amen, Pharoah of Egypt three thousand years ago, and the discov- ery of marvellous nxuries and treas- uries of art denoting the previous existence of an Egyptian civilization of the most cultural attainments, hid- Gen in the tomb of the sleeping Pha- roah and preserved through the ages, comes the announcement from Prof. George Reisner, of Harvard Univer- sity and head of the Harvard-Boston expedition which recently made exca- Vations in tombs and Pyramids in the ‘Anglo-Egyptian Soudan, that the Ethiopians were not Negroes. Dr. Reisner said in a report ivhich he has just made that the most recent researches of the expedition in the py- ramids at Meroe have established tha the culture of the Ethiopians stood ‘as an outpost of Egyptian civilization in middle Africa, and that in the’art ‘of, Bthiopians a’ Greek influence ob- tained and that the- invention of eceint of their own was evidence that ike Echioplane ‘were a people of gen: fus, ‘This Harvard scientist adds that the see are not and were not African Negroes. He described thew as. “dark colored races, in whict brown prevails,” adding, howevr, that many individuals show a mixture o! black blood. ‘Dr. Reisner’s report would also dis. pell the impression that Ethiopia wa governed by a long line of queen: named Candac, field in the New Tes tament and by Pliny and>Strabo. ‘This impression has already beer weakened, it is stated by the discov ery that ‘the name was only a titl meaning queen. Tt appears from Prof. Reisner’ report that from 750 B.

B. B. and the F. N. F., were invited into the conference of civil rights organizations held in this city March 23-24. Both of. these organizations are staunch advocates of the rights of Negro Labor. Both have strong eco- nomic planks in their program. The program of the A. B. B., for instance, calls for consumers cooperatives, and abolition of economic exploitation, de- claring that the A. B. B. seeks’ lib- eration for the race “not merely from alien political rule, but also from the crushing weight of exploitation, which keeps the many in degrading poverty that the few. may wallow in stolen wealth.” In the coming all-Race Conference, Negro,Labor will have equal. repre- sentation with the other sections, of Negr olife on account, of the fearless advocacy at the March 23-24 Confer- ence of such champions of Negro la- bor as Richard B. Moore, Otto E. Huiswoud, Cyril V. Briggs, Beare: S. Schuyler, and W. A.

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 You can say one thing for the birds on Easter hats. They always come with large bills. Among the reasons why health is more valuable than wealth, the most conspicuous is nobody can borrow your health from you. Reports from Washington suggest that freedom of speech roasts more presidential prospects than speeches of freedom. A Jungle Queen for Fair However we twist it there is a very general weakness for kings and queens and other titled people, and interest in them and what they say and do, what they wear and eat and drink, and all that, mostly of the trite and trifling character, never seems to grow less, although democracy is sweeping all titles off the earth, so that after a factor they promise to be an extract factor in human affairs. The magnets of the present are growing to be persons intellectually distinguished or fabulously wealthy. But worship of the just is just as stupid and insecure as worship of titles and those who worship Nothing is worthy of worship that can be created, made or purchased. We create, say, a child, we make a newspaper, we purchase an automobile; we do for these things what they cannot do for us or for themselves; why, then should we worship them? And the reasoning can be carried through all of the mazes of speculative science and it will have to come back and anchor to first principles. A Chicago dispatch says that Rev. A. J. Bowen, Secretary to the South African General Missions, told the students of the Moody Bible class that travel in the jungles of Africa was as safe as on Broadway, and created much surprise in so doing. But he over the top with the following story: "At Nalolo, on the Upper Zambesi, I found the biggest Queen in the world. She weighed 350 pounds. Her home, a kral, had carpets on the floor, and the Queen, attired in a garment of Queen Elizabeth II, she reclaimed on a sette as modern as they to be found in Chicago. The Queen apologized for not having any tea to serve. She had an automobile for her exclusive use." Why not? What this heavyweight queen is doing in a small way in Africa now a lightweight queen is likely to do in the near future. The thing is possible.' The African people are bound to get out of the "down and out" situation and do it. Missionary and uplift it are helping on the good work. Preparing Workers for Jobs A great many people are educated for one sort of work when they are capable of doing only another sort and a great many people have to do the work they can get whether they care for that kind of work or not. This is very generally understood, but the practice goes right on and creates discontent in the worker and inefficiency in his work. If a person does not take pleasure in the work he has to do he will be unhappy in doing it and will not put forth the best in him to do it. If a vote could be taken upon the question, you are satisfied with your job?" the answer likely be overwhelmingly in the positive. The volume of social discontent in the world could be easily gauged by the answer, but a remedy could not as easily be found. Professor Harry W. Hepner, head of the psychology department of Syracuse University, has hit upon a new scheme of fitting people for the jobs they should be employed at, and the University has adopted the theory, the first of its kind, it is said, in the history of the country. The new course will be called "vocational psychology," to the study of which Prof. Hepner has devoted most of his life. The grist of the new idea is simple enough. If you don't like the job you have done, the work you are fitted for. That lot requires you enough, but he is a great big fool who leaves the job he has because he does not like it before he has secured a job that he does like. It should be good and helpful, however, as Prof. Hepner proposes to teach students to so study themselves as to know what sort of work they want to do and are best fitted to do. This latter principle should be the decisive one, as people often want to do work for which they are wholly unfitted. Prof. Hepner has written a manual, which he has been thinking out during the past seven years, to be used in connection with the course. The book tells how to analyze one's ability for various occupations, the correct method of choosing a vocation and how to succeed after a choice has been made. The new science, if it should work out practically, if science it can be called, should be one of the most helpful features of education imaginable. New Party Needed and Coming The divisions in the Republican party are so pronounced that no one can prophesy what will happen at the meeting of the Republican National convention next year. The split in the party is shown most emphatically in the failure of the President to get action such as he desired, and advocated, on the Ship Subsidy bill, the Anti-Lynch bill, participation in the International Court, and the attitude of antagonism to any Negro appointments sent to the Senate by him. enough Republican Senators deeming it of more party advantage to admit the color prejudices of their constituents as in the case of Walter L. Coleman, to the controller of customs at New Orleans, than to do justice to Republican Negro voters of the Northern and Western States, who vote and have their votes counted as cast. The misunderstanding between President Harding upon most questions of policy and the Republican majority in Congress is so great as hardly to be possible of accommodation. It has affected disastrously the rank and file of the party in all parts of the country. The long distance announcement by President Harding will succeed himself, while being a sufficient warning to other aspirants, has served more than anything else could at this time to intensify the misunderstanding between the President and the Republican majority in Congress. Senator Borah, of Idaho, has already announced that a third party is possible, and now Senator Ladd, of North Dokata, voices more emphatically the same possibility. Both are Republicans and speak for the Republican majority in Congress that does not support the policies. Senator Ladd says "The men people are losing confidence in those they have honored in the past, and old party lines are crumbling, until, as shown in the last election, party label no longer insure elections." A new party is needed, because both the old parties have become tarre with the same stick in ignoring the best interests of the people and in advocacy of measures that enrich one class at the expense of the others, and in race discriminations not warranted by the Constitution. But while some think that a new party is coming we all know that the hardest thing imaginable is for a new party to arrive and stay arrived. The Roosevelt Republican Progressive party was the last to arrive and then pass on and out. The Republican party may reverse itself by the time the next convention meets. We all hope so anyhow. Secretary Weeks and the Farmer and His Foodstuffs In a recent address before the American Agricultural Editors' Association, at Washington, Secretary of War John W. Weeks, who is an experienced legislator as well as an administrator, declared an old truth when he said, "Our public must always rest, socially, economically and politically, upon the solid foundation of the farm." The increase, we may add, of the manufacturing consuming expense of the farm producing class of the world of agriculture at the expense of the rural population is not only one of the greatest weaknesses but one of the greatest dangers that confronts the Republic. The tendency from farm to city is fraught with great danger. Secretary Weeks brought out some facts with regard to the relation of the War Department to the farmer which are not generally known and which are of the greatest interest. We are disposed to regard the War Department as a fighting machine especially designed for National defense, but the Secretary says "it has always found itself more concerned with the farmer than with any other class of Americans." This was peculiarly true in pioneer days when the army played the part of "building roads, canals and railroads, mapping new areas and locating titles, developing waterway routes to the interior markets, and protecting the frontiers against the Indians." Most of the agencies of the War Department aid the farmer; such as the signal and air service in cooperation with the Weather Bureau, which originated in the War Department; the chemical warfare service, in the destruction of high ordinance department, with high expertise in the design of battles and nitrate development so helpful to the farm interests as fertilizers; the remount service, in developing the highest grade of horses; while the engineering corps has led in all work of construction and development from small road building to the building of the Panama Canal. In short, the activities of the War Department touch those of the farmer at every point, making their relations of the most intimate and helpful character. In closing his exhaustive and helpful address, Secretary Weeks said: "I am admittedly anxious to produce an intimate contact between the department which I am called upon to administer and the American people, regardless of classes or occupation. We have undertaken one of the greatest experiments in self-government ever attempted by the human race. Our aims are highly professional and I am a firm believer in the must result success which must result. We retain our common sympathetic tendencies which create divisions between elements must be fought. The ties which can bind classes together must be studied and strengthened. The farmer, as well as any other citizen, should learn that national defense is no abstract theory evoked by a class foreign to his own interests, but a duty common to all of us. I have endeavored to show a few of our contacts. The strengthening of these contacts is not only to our own great interest, but also for agriculture, a primary give encouragement to numerous farming communities which on account of geographical location are suffering for want of transportation facilities. One such section of Virginia, which we have in mind, is that part of Northumberland county known as Hack's Neck. This is one of the most fertile farming sections in Virginia, but on account of its isolation for lack of transportation facilities farming as an industry is slowly dying there. The only solution for the problems of the thrifty agricultural people who inhabit the section is the deepening of Little Wicoirico river by the government, which will give them an outlet to Chesapeake Bay and the markets. It is easy to regard with deep senses of apprehension the steady movement of the Afro-American population from the farming districts of open country and free and healthy air to the congested conditions of city life, where there is little worth having that is open and free and healthful, but the whites are also doing it. Those who are creating conditions of restlessness and terror among the rural people by lawlessness without and justification, are making mischief sufficient for all, are making mischief sufficient for all, after many days will return to plague them in ways they do not dream of. Secretary Weeks' address should be read by all such terror-makers, and shame them, by showing what the Government is doing through the War, Agricultural and Labor Departments to make rural life more attractive and profitable to its people.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Renders Large Service Editor Journal and Guide Sir: I am very much pleased with the Journal and Guide, and I want to see more people read it, for I think they should. I don't see now really how I could do without it. The Journal and Guide occupies a place in the lives of colored people that no other periodical can ever fill and it is worth the money, and many times more for these few simple reasons: When you graduate from school it is the paper that gives you a written companion, you find a life companion, it's the companion that lets your marriage be known. When sickness and misfortune invade your home the sad news is carried to your friends through the Guide. When you have been successful in a business venture, or have been promoted, it will be the paper that heralds your ability. If you sell out and move to another location the Guide can follow you in news of friends and neighbors. The Guide boosts its 'hometown, its institutions; its people, its schools, its churches, and it helps to promote good fellowship in a community. At first, when you are finally laid away, it will be the Guide to print consoling your virtues so the hearts of those that mourn are made to feel glad and thankful that it was the Guide that stuck to you until the last. Now may your good and notable works continue and grow better each week.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE What Is Going On in the Churches of the City In a letter addressed to the Brigadier General of the Salvation Army the Mothers' Club expressed its great regret at learning that Captain and Mrs. Bryan, the two colored workers recently transferred from here, were to be removed from the city. The Mothers also expressed high commendation of the work done here by these two workers, and the appreciation of their services on the part of Norfolk's colored people, concluding with an appeal that Captain and Mrs. Bryan be allowed to remain here, or in case of the removal of the workers. The mother is a strong plea from the Mothers' Club that the work of the Salvation Army among colored people here be not abandoned.

C.—The Washington "Potomac" will embark next Tuesday under the management of Ben Taylor, for training at Richmond, Virginia. The team is expected to remain in Virginia about month before officially opening the season in the east, where it will be associat- in with the newly formed Eastern League. About ten men will make the trip from Washington, with the remainder of the squad going direct from their homes to the Virginia Capitol. A series of games with the Richmond Giants have been booked and negotiations are under way for other games with Virginia and North Carolina Colleges and independent teams. MANY STARS UNDER CONTRACT. The signing of "Rose Roy" Maurice pitchers; Ralph Jefferson, William Woods, outfielders; Lewis, catcher, and "Bucky" Ridgley, infielder, has been announced by manager Taylor. In addition to the above group and "Spes" Clark, Wayne Carr and Eggleston, who with the exception of Clark, are now in Washington, three men from Georgia, one infielder from Texas, and three brother from Carolina, all high-recommended and reputed to possess major league class, receive tryouts at the training camp. Manager Taylor considers himself fortunate in landing Ross, who is credited as being one of the brainset pitchers in the game. Last season Ross was with the A. B. C's, and had much to do with the success of that team. He is a right-hander and started pitching in Texas in 1913. During 1920-21-22, Ross pitched in the California Winter League (white) and was primarily responsible for his team winning the pennant. Ross depends on a fast breaking curve and a good change of pace. Both Williams and Campbell are fast ball pitchers. Williams, a right-hander, towers over 6 feet, 4 inches, and weighs over 200 pounds. He was A. B. C. member during the season of 1921-22. Campbell, also an orthodox twirler, hails from Boston. Taylor had to work fast to sign Campbell as several eastern teams were on his trail. It is noticeable that most parents Woods and Jefferson are looked upon as sure regulars. The former is recognized by colored and white sport writers as one of the fastest men in the game. Woods has played with the American Giants, Columbus Buckeyes and the Cincinnati National Team. He has few equals in saying down a hunt and beating it out.

Unlike the lice, poultry mites are bloodsucking parasites and live entirely on the blood of the fowl. They are very small, and when not filled with blood are gray in color and are called gray mites. However, when they have been fed to the body of the fowl and itself themselves with blood they look red, and are called red mites, they do not stay on the fowl's body, all the time, like, but during the day hide away in cracks and crevices, behind boards that are near the and other places. At night when the fowls and chicks go to roost the mites come out of their hiding places, crawl into the birds, and suck the blood from their bodies. The irrita- STUDENTS P "HOUSE Hampton Institute Sophoclean Dramatic Club Sets High Standard of Attainment. Hampton, Va., Mar.—The Sophoclean Dramatic Club of Hampton Institute in its recent presentation, in Ogden Hall, before large and enthusiastic audience, of Dr. Henry van Dyke's four-act, religious drama, "The House of Rimmon," set a new high standard of student dramatic attainment. The principal roles of this drama-a-drama dealing with the valor of Naaman, a captain of the armies of Damascus, who was the victim of a faithless wife, and the self-sacrifice of Ruaham, a captive maid in Israel, who cared for Naaman in his blindness and leprosy-and who finally brought her master to Eliha for treatment and restoration,- were played by Isaac O. White of Alexandria, Va., and Emmy B. Churchill of Baltimore, Md. These players were ably supported by ten other important characters and by supplementary groups of well-trained soldiers, servants, sentinels, dancers, priests and citizens. Incidental music was furnished by members of the Hampton Institute Orchestra. The costumes and stage settings were appropriate to the period 850 B.C. when Assyria was carrying out her rothless policy of aggrandizement and when Benhadad, the aged king Sloan's Whenever you feel that tightening in the chest, that deep-seated irritation that is the sure forerunner of a chest cold— Apply Sloan's to chest and neck.

Since poultry mites hide away in cracks and crevices during the day, the first thing that should be done to get rid of them is to give the poultry houses, roosts, nests, etc., a good cleaning. After the cleaning, spray thoroughly with kerosene, crude oil, or oil with coal-tar preparation, making sure that the spray reaches all cracks and crevices and every other place where the mites might be hiding. This coal-tar preparation most effective and lasts longest. It can be purchased locally with full directions for mixing and use. It is necessary to spray thoroughly and often, especially during warm weather, if the mites are to be kept from annoying the fowls. PRESENT OF RIMMON" of Damascus, was undecided about accepting the Assyrian challenge of war or her offer of peace with degrading submission. Then it was that Rezon, high priest of the House of Rimmon, persuaded Naaman's wife, Tsarpi, to offer her husband a poison cup, which in time brought Naaman, the victorious, in battle, to blindness and leprosy. Ruhahmh's belief in Jehovah and love for her master, however, won the final victory. Naaman at last killed the false priest of Rimmon and accepted Jehovah as his God. Picturesquenes was added to this drama, not only by the Oriental costumes, but also by the rapid shift of scenes, including night in the garden of Naaman at Dasmascus, the audience hall in Benhadad's palace, the fore-court of the House of Rimmon, Naaman's tent among the mountains near Samaria, Naaman's camp at night, and the inner court of the House of Rimmon. Some oof the leading characters follow: "Benhadad," king of Dasmascus, Willard L. Adams, Preston, Md.; "Rezon," high priest of the House of Rimmon, Leonard McFadden, Fayetteville, N.

Special to Journal and Guide Cape Town, South Africa.—The rise of race consciousness among the natives of South Africa is now apparent and there is a growing realization that the native problem must now be faced in all seriousness. Legislation is before Parliament, dealing with native affairs, and General Smuts, the Premier, has insisted that this legislation shall be passed during the present session. Reports from South Africa state that it is remarkable how much more clearly and intelligently expressed have been the grievances of the natives since the war. It is a sign, which the years of silence during the war have emphasized, that race consciousness of the South African native is steadily growing, and the spread of education is bringing a realization of the disabilities under which the native labor. The whites have profoundly changed their attitude toward the natives since the realization that race consciousness was increasing in leaps and bounds, but it is reported that before schemes for the improvement of the natives can be effectually carried out, there must be a much wider diffusion of the culture, and it is suggested by native and native modes of thought. And it is emphasized that education of the white race in this sense is no less essential to the progressive solution of the native problem than the education of the black race. The report, altho, praising the work of missionaries in South Africa in educating the natives, it points out, that the otherwise noble record of missionary enterprises is occasionally actuated by jealousy among the different denominations, resulting in not only the overlapping of effort, but the presentation to the native races of a spirit not wholly compatible with the doctrine it was sought to inculcate. The natives show a surprising readiness to adopt European methods in the adjustment of their grievances, particularly in the deplorable misinterpretation of the word "strike," is a marked feature of their race consciousness, says the report. The inclination of the natives to adopt the European methods of adjusting their grievances, real or fancied, is noticeable and also is the attempt of the Communists and Bolsheviks to spread the doctrine of the subversion of the present form of government. Propaganda from American Negro organizations of various shades has found some footing in Cape Town and Johannesburg, but the results obtained do not seem to have justified the promoters in the belief that the Bantu of the Union would welcome salvation for the race under a regime imported from the western continent, continues the report. But it is clear to all in touch with the situation in South Africa that the inevitable development of a race consciousness has begun and is showing itself in the formation of associations for all kinds of purposes—religious, political, industrial and social. These may be at present short-lived and unstable—the product of immature thought—but they indicate how the wind blows and what importance is attached to European example. This growth of a sense of manhood in the natives must be deplored, for only through the realization by the men, their potential capacities will it be possible to secure their necessary co-operation in the development of the country. The danger to Europe lies in the probable tendencies of the development of race consciousness to become anti-European and to seek expression in action subversive of European law.

WINNERS OF PRIZE IN AD CONTEST The Ad contest prizes were won this week by Mrs. Sarah Williams, 1039 Roland avenue and Mrs. Yvonne Moorman, 1232 Wide street: The prizes were awarded upon the words, Received, Matter and Church. Many contestants persist in sending in four words, notwithstanding the instructions printed at the top of the page. Of course, as soon as the contest editor discovers that a letter contains four words, that letter is immediately disqualified and gets no further consideration. The editor contains a plea to be adjudged the winner. This is unnecessary because the prizes will be awarded solely on merit of the replies and upon no other consideration, even if the contestant has tried and failed a number of times. The replies this week were too numerous for publication. CLIMATE IS NOT CHANGING SAYS U S. W. WEATHER BUREAU Washington, D. C.—The fact that the past two years have been unusually mild in most parts of the United States has led to considerable discussion as to whether this portion of the earth is undergoing a general change of climate. The Weather Bureau, says, however, that records can be furnished which disprove this idea. Periods have occurred in the past and will occur again, when for a few years the weather has seemed or will seem to be noticeably warmer or colder than the average. While there are well-recognized alternations in climatic conditions, as of wet and dry, hot and cold, etc., little is known with regard to definite laws of sequence of weather conditions over extended periods of years. Within ordinary historic times there is practically no evidence that there has been any change in the process of change in the climate in one direction or the other, but rather that the same sort of alternations are now succeeding each other indefinitely, as in earlier historic times. It is also believed that the amount of change, if any, is too small and the extent of territory involved too indefinite to be of economic interest. Until definite knowledge is available concerning the law of sequence of weather conditions over extended periods affecting the corner are quantitatively established, scientific long-range forecasting is impracticable. EVEN THE BUSY BEE NEEDS MORE THAN JUST A CHANCE TO WORK Washington, D. C.—The keeping of bees is an ancient branch of agriculture, yet modern beekeeping is a new thing. Many persons still erroneously think that bees work for nothing and board themselves, and that to keep bees he simply gets some bees and allows them to roam where they will, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The present-day beekeeper controls the development of the colony population so as to have a full force of gathering bees at the right time, and to ensure a division of bees by swarming. By these and other methods he greatly increases the amount of honey gathered. The modern skilled beekeeper finds bees far more productive than did his predecessors because of his ability to change conditions and adapt them to the natural habits of the bees. While not all parts of the clover region are equally good for beekeeping, there are few places where it is not possible to keep bees with profit under proper management, says the department. Opportunities for beekeeping in this region, however, are not utilized as completely as in some other parts of country. Vast areas of the clover region are not adequately covered by bees, and in many places the methods of beekeeping practiced fail to produce the best crops possible. Beekeeping to be profitable in the clover region must be conducted with great skill, and there are not sufficient beekeepers with the right amount of skill to cover this territory. A drawback to the adequate development of the clover region lies in the fact that there are thousands of persons owning a few colonies of bees who give them little or no attention and who get practiced in the bees' service. Occupy territory, while bees were in the hands of good beekeepers they might be adding to the Nation's honey supply. The spread of the brood diseases is serving to change this condition, for the number of persons owning bees in the clover region is decreasing. A Californian possesses theonly watch in the world that winds itself. He bought it years ago in the East, and it was so old then that he could not ascertain when it was made. It was represented as a square French timepiece and it is so arranged that a lever collates with every footstep the owner takes, thus keeping the spring tightened. It is contended that it is only watch known that winds itself by the jar, occasioned in walking. It keeps accurate time, despite its peculiarities of construction, and it has survived several good cases. At present it is encased in gold. A key is provided for emergencies, so that if the owner should be ill or be obliged to refrain from walking for several days, the timepiece can be wound. Prize Winners.

In Memoriam Sarah Hollowell Died April 8, 1919 Unpublished History of Football and Baseball Howard University, where I had been dressed in tennis robes for the varsity game for two years, I went to Lenox, Mass., to work as waiver at the Aspinwall Hotel. Few of the "Palmer House" footed waiters took interest in baseball, but my enthusiasm and reputation soon had quite a number of them out for practice. Even the old "Aces" of the dining room used to do honor by cutting out their nap hours between lunch and dinner to see the men, in action. My first amusement was to get a good team to represent the challenged the bell hops for a game. I do not believe there were more than four (4) men from the dining room who could be classed as ball players. The first game ended in a flasco. The younger men and boys representing the bellmen ran over us with a one-sided score in their favor. Thomas, a middler in the law department of Howard University, whom I had coached as a sent for. Of course, being inhonorable to the bellmen we again challenged them. We had them at his mercy and easily beat them. That night I called a meeting at the quarters and formed the Aspinwall Giants, picking the best men from the waiters and bellmen. The Aspinwall Hotel, most exclusive in the summer, had as guests during the summertime they used them, such well known people, Bonapart, of Mr. Roosevelt's administration, and Mr. Maxim, the great-inventor. Securing permis Howard Takes the First Honors; Normal Second Williams, Doneghy and Walker Get Curcuit Drives in Easter Monday Game. Lawrenceville, Va.—In each school's first game of the 1923 baseball season, St. Paul fell prey to Howard University's nine on Easter Monday by the score of 9 to 12, not because of costly errors. Fifteen hours later mond enthusiasts witnessed the game which was clean, hard and sportmanlike, although a long-drawn-out affair. The brilliant pitching of Williams, together with his home run, were among the features of the St. Paul side of the tilt. Collins played a fine game, his catching be superb and showing accurate and timely. Maddux and Wilkerson played a harmonious game for the orange and black outfit. Doneghy, the Bison grid star of 1922 fame, who played an errorless and stern game at centerfield, found the sphere for a homer. Walker, who also played stellar ball at rightfield, banged the old cork center for four bases. Clark's excellent pitch and a tightgrip's catching were among the interesting, sensational and commendable acts of the fast Howard machine. SECOND GAME Before one thousand wild baseball fans St. Paul's premier 'varaty team took sweet revenge on Tuesday afternoon, by humbling the sturdy National Capitol boys to the score of 5 to 2. The visitors found it utterly impossible to fathom the delivery of "Lad" Wallace. And at times it appeared as though the Bisons were far outclassed, but when the locals threatened to pile up a big score, fate, intervened in their behalt. Never in the history of the Bisons were displayed such a varied style of baseball, backed by heavy hitting and superior pitching and team work. Both teams played a masterful game, and exhibited magnificent knowledge and :: IN THE THEATRES Howard University where I had been first string catcher for the varsity nine for two, years.

In two days I had more than enough money to get an outfit consisting of uniforms, bats, shoes, gloves, and balls. It was the first time in the history of the Berkshires that a uniformed team of colored players played in that section. Our fame village below and we were matched against the Lenox High School. (white.) It was a beautiful game and resulted 3 to 2 in our favor. President Taylor, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, witnessed it from a tally ho. After that game, two or three times a week, we would play, and they were all interesting and hard fought. The high school team had a youngster playing short who was especially objectionable. We would get a band full of dirt and chirp it so that it would blow in my face. I praised him loudly to the fans calling him "Pepper Kid," "Tobacco Sauce," "Kid-Elberfeld," and other names satirically. I made his batting average about 20. I knew what he could and could not hit, and I signalled Thomas with whom I worked for two seasons and nine out of every game, and stole out a pop an infield fly. I had his "goat" pletely and after I kept yelling out after his third strike, "Old boy you nearly hit that one," holding the ball before his eyes, he found out that kidding didn't pay. After that he became somewhat respectable and I would signal and tell him what was coming in order that he might hit it. If he had kept his bat, he would have lost his popularity with the high school boys and girls of this beautiful Massachusetts village in the heart of the Berkshire hills. technique of baseball; but St. Paul's air-tight methods excelled those of Howard. Wallace subdued the previous day sluggers just as often as they faced him. His tossing was marvelous; he used mature judgement on the mound, and handled the old ash stick to perfection during his times at the bat. Blackwell, Wharton, Madden, Harris, and Bruce lammed the old pill to wonderful advantage, while the other St. Paul youngsters played in spectacular form. Holding of Long and Johnson and Higgin's duplication of his previous day's doings, together with his 500 batting average, featured the second day's work of the Howard camp. # FIRST GAME ST.

Richmond, Va.—The fast Virginia Union University baseball squad made its 1923 debut a successful one by defeating Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute diamond club in the tenth inning after a diamond club in the tenth inning at Hovey Field Easter Monday. As the shades of darkness were enveloping the park, Edgar's bat settled the contest by sending a clean single over second base, scoring Wilson with the winning tally. Several thousand people packed historic Hovey Park to witness two worst-foes cross bats in Union's opener with the followers were well pleased with the success of fielding and timely hiting by both teams. At almost any stage, it was anybody's game until the deciding run in the extra inning. Petersburg started the scoring in the first inning as follows: Moses rolled out to Gregory; Epps hit a double to left field; Braxton poled one out. for two. bases, 'scoring Epps; Coles struck out; Nichols got first on Adams' error; Braxton scoring. Union's moundsman, Merritt then struck out Walker. Two hits, two runs. Union came back strong in their half of the initial stanza; Adams walked and was advanced by Branch's sacrifice bunt; Gregory was hit by a FINANCI pitched ball; Mask singled over second, scoring Adams; Boffman got to second on an error, and Gregory tailed. Wilson rolled out to first; Jackson safe at first on first baseman's error, Mask scoring; Boffman scored on pitcher's error; Jackson scored on Merritt's hit, but Edgar was out trying to make it home. Hits, 2; runs, 5. Branch's fielding for Union bordered on the sensational. EPs cavorted around short stop for V. N. I. I., in great style. Coalesced of the visitors, poled out a three bagger and Capt. Adams, of Union, reached first four times out of five trips to the plate. A. Jackson caught a fine game. Petersburg fought hard to overcome the lead Union had gained in the slugfest in the initial stanza, but Merritt was successful in holding the visitors' hitless during the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings, while the score stood 8 to 6. By two hits and two errors in the ninth, V. N. and I. I. tied the score. Armatead, an elongated, clever twirler, ascended the mound in the fifth and started serving Union batters some deliveries which were hard to digest. He held them hitless for five innings, until Edgar's timely smash in the extra session settled the game. Here they lined up: UNION V, N, I, I Adams, s.s. Moses, c. Branch, cf. Epps, s.s. Gregory, 1b.
