Norfolk Journal and Guide REID NAMED GRAND CHANCELLOR OF PYTHIANS ORDER WILL BE REHABILITATED IN VIRGINIA ORDER WILL BE REHABILITATED IN VIRGINIA Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe of Virginia Begin a New Era. WILL RENEW RELATIONS WITH SUPREME LODGE Petersburg, Va., June 27—The 38th annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, was convened in this city, on June 19th, and was in session three days. The meeting was held at the time designated in the Grand Lodge Constitution and at the time designated in the convention meeting; but the preclamation for the convention was issued by Honorable Joseph Button, the Commissioner of Insurance, receiver, into whose hands the Order was committed by a decree of the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond, entered on the 26th day of October, 1922, upon proceedings instituted by the Commissioner for the purpose of protecting the financial rights of the Order which had become seriously imperiled by closing of the Mechanics Savings Bank, of Richmond, the depository of all Grand Lodge funds, as well as the funds of the Grand Court of Calanthe. RECEIVER REPORTS The meeting was held in Ebenzer Baptist Church, the Grand Lodge in the main auditorium and the Grand Court at the same time in the basement. The two bodies were at first assembled jointly to hear the Receiver's receipt, which was given with satisfaction of resources and liabilities, in order and the steps taken by him to recover the monies of the two Orders, which had been misapplied on the books of the bank. The Receiver complimented the membership for its loyal support given him in handling the affairs of the Lodge and Grand Court, and declared his confidence and co-operation he would in short, possibly within six months, be able and ready to restore the business of both organizations to their proper officers, with an up-to-date system for keeping the financial accounts and other records, provided a satisfactory set of officers should be elected. THOMAS HEWIN PRESIDED Sir J. Thomas Hewin, of Richmond, was selected by the Receiver to preside during the reading of his report and until a new set of officers should be elected. Sir Hewin presided until the conclusion of the Receiver's voluminous report on the information when the point was made by Sir Tayler, of Richmond, that in order to be legal the officers must be elected in accordance with the ritualistic requirements, and that Sir Hewin was not qualified to preside during the election. Sir W. H. C. of Newport News, was instantly appointed to the Receiver that Sif W. M. Reid, as Grand Master of the Work, was the proper person to preside. The Receiver at once accepted Sir Brown's suggestion and Sir Reid to preside, which he did in session, the Grand Court withdrawing to the basement to hold its separate meetings. TIDEWATER FOR REID It may not be improper to state that the membership in Tidewater, representing Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Suffolk and nearby boroughs, for some weeks past, had been engaged in perfecting an organization to bring about the election of certain Tidewater men for the offices of Grand Chancellor, Grand Master of Exchequer and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal; with the understanding that, while they might sacrifice any other candidate as means of success, they would stand by Wm. M. Reid for Grand Chancellor first, last and all the time. The friends of Sir John Mitchell, Jr., finding that his candidacy for re-election would not be acceptable to the Receiver, had as far as could, united the Richmond and Southwestern delegations in the support of W. F. W. B. Crowell, of Roanoke, for Grand Chancellor. But finding many of the delegates from Roanoke, Lynchburg and Danville training with Tidewater people, the Crowell faciation sent a committee to the Tidewater headquarters to arrange a compromise. This was finally effected, the faciation being delayed for that purpose after the Lodge re-convened for the morning session on the second day: The Grand Lodge was then closed to DR. WILLIAM H. SKINNER In the recent state examination before the Virginia Board of Dental Examiners, Dr. William H. Skinner, of this city, a recent graduate of Howard University School of Dentistry, was among the successful candidates, distinguishing himself in practical work by making an average of 86 per cent, the highest maintained by any of the 60 candidates. Dr. Skinner is now doing postwork at the College of Oral and Dental Surgery, New York City. permit the Receiver to come in and announce the candidates agreed upon by the two factions, and to say that, if elected, the ticket would be satisfactory to him. The Receiver then retired, the Grand Lodge was reopened in due form, the compromise ticket was nominated as a whole and a motion made to suspend the rules and cast the vote for the ticket. After a number of most eloquent speeches both for and against the ticket the previous question was called for and the motion carried unanimously. The following are the officers elected: Grand Chancellor, Wm, M., Reid of Portsmouth* Grand Vice-Chancellor, W. B. F. Crowell, of Roanoke; Grand Prelate, Rev. Clifton Cabell, of Lynchburg; Grand Master of Exchequer, Dr. E. R. J. Jefferson, of Richmond; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Albert V. Norvell, Sr., of Richmond; Grand Master of the Work, John T. Taylor, of Richmond; Grand Lecturer, John M. White of Manassas* of Attorney, John M. White of Newport; Grand Medical Director, Dr. A. A. Tennant, of Richmond; Grand Master-at-Arms, Joshua Williams, of Danville; Grand Inner Guard, J. E. Byrd, of Newport News; Grand Outer Guard, W. T. Stokes, of Petersburg. CONSTITUTION AMENDED An amendment to the Grand Lodge Constitution was adopted creating the office of Grand Attorney. A resolution was adopted ratifying the apology made by the Grand Chancellor and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal to the Supreme Lodge in session at Topeka, Kansas, and at Atlantic City, New Jersey, for the interest of the "Shocking Conditions" charges set forth in a resolution against the Supreme Grand Lodge in 1912, and largely circulated throughout the Supreme Jurisdiction, which resulted in the suspension of the Grand Lodge by the Supreme Lodge. A resolution was adopted empowering the Grand Chancellor and Supreme Lodge Relations with full power to adjust all differences now existing between the Supreme Lodge and the Grand Lodge, both fraternal and financial, to the intent and for the purpose of restoring the status which existed between them, the trouble resulting in the suspension, the degree Lodge degrees we offered upon 37 candidates. SUPREME LODGE COMMISSION Under authority of the above mentioned resolution the Grand Chancellor appointed the following Commission on Supreme Lodge Relations: Wm. M. Reid, chairman, (Ex-officio) of Portsmouth; J. Thomas Hewin, of Richmond; H. C. Carr, of New York; John M. White, of Manassas; Rev. C. A. Ward, of Newport News, and W. H. Thoroughgood, of Norfolk. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, Louisiana; Supreme Vice-Chancellor; S. R. Titlington, of Indiana, and Sir Lee Grawford, Grand Chancellor of York, realizing that a crisis was at hand in the affairs of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, were present during the first two days for such counsel as might be deemed necessary. Sir S. A. T. Watkins, Supreme Attorney of Goa, was also in attendance on the first day of meeting. These officiates had the courtesy of the floor and made encouraging addresses. The City of Lynchburg was selected as the place of meeting for next year. Queensland has恳挚 yielding water so hot and alkaline that it is used as it comes from the ground for wool-scouring without soap. EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION CLOSES SESSION Women of Baptist General Association Hold 23rd Annual Meeting; Prominent Persons Address Session. The Women's Missionary Educational Convention of the Virginia Baptist General Association held its twenty-third annual session in the First Baptist Church, Hampton, Va., Dr. J. W. Patterson, pastor, June 20-22. A large delegation was present and a splendid meeting was had. By many this session was corrected in the organization. The spirit of the meeting was good and was admirable for its harmony and splendid fellowship. The citizens of Hampton, both white and colored, vied with each other to make the stay of the visitors in the city pleasant. The annual sermon was preached by Dr. G. W. Goode, of Danville. Special addresses were delivered by Dr. F. W. Williams, of Norfolk, presentation of the Virginia Association; Dr. A. Graham, corresponding secretary of the Lott-Carey Foreign Mission Convention and Miss Nannie Burroughs, of Washington, D. C. All of these addresses were splendid and showed much progress in all lines of the work of the association. This body of Baptist women forms one of the strongest units in the denomination for the fostering of the church mission work. Yearly they raise a very considerable sum of money to be used for these purposes. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Mrs. M. R. Johnson, Richmond; vice-president, Mrs. Mary Goode, Danville; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Annie E. Read, Covington; recording secretary, Mrs. Ada E. Buford, Danville; statistician, Mrs. Ora A. B. Stokes, Richmond; treasurer, Mrs. Julia C. Patterson, Hampton. Richmond, Va., was chosen as the next place of meeting. N.C. MUTUAL TO LOAN UNIVERSITY $300,000 Wilberforce Has Arranged for Substantial Credit From Durham Company. (By A. N. P.) Wilberforce, Ohio, June 28—Wilberforce University has arranged for a loan of $300,000 from the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, a colored concern. When the school's officers learned that she needed financing to carry out their plans for expansion, they applied to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which is said to be $33,000,000 worth of business with Negroes years ago that were unaccomplished C. C. Spalung, the new president expressed his satisfaction that his company, the largest colored organization in the world, could demonstrate its usefulness to the group which supports it. Electric Lights Now At Oakwood Terrace Oakwood Terrace and Lincoln Park, suburban divisions opened up for colored people in the early part of last year by Messrs. Bartlett and Sullivan, 8 Arcade, are now equipped with electric lights. Their promoters advertised tensively last year that every modern improvement would be placed on the property. Many people bought lots in the section upon this assertion. Their faith in these men's statements are apparently being justified, because not only was the invention of sidewalks fully completed, but 2,000 yards of sidewalk are under construction on the property. Water has been available there for sometime. A very considerable portion of the property has been sold, altho Messrs. Bartlett and Sullivan state that there are yet a few choice lots left which are to be sold upon their same liberal terms. The man who is able to look down and see the part of him capable of disappointment lying beneath him, is far more blessed than he who rejoices in the fulfilment of his desires. -George Macdonald. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923 Plunges In River, Saves White Boy Lewiston, Pa., June 27.—The heroic action of James Allen, a young colored man of 23, when plunging into the Juniata River, saved the life of little six year old James Bungardner, white, here last week. The rescue has roused among citizens generally the hope that he may be awarded a Carnegie medal. The white lad, who had been playing in a boat on the river bank loosened it from its mooring and as the punt reached the center of the water where the wilt caught it, he fell overboard. Allen, a former Tech high school student, saw him from where he was a block away and running at top speed he plunged in with all his clothing on, catching the boy just as he was going down the third Eye witness commended Allen's splendid courage. Pressed the opinion that only by his splendid daring and prompt action could the boy's life have been saved. MORE PLAYGROUND STREET SHOWERS Recreational Facilities Planned for Colored Neighborhoods Says Dr. Schenck. Concern for the welfare of children during the prevailing excessive warm weather prompted the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to inquire of the city officials as to what open air spaces-playgrounds are available to the colored children, and what is contentious of added playgrounds and parks. This inquiry revealed that the city's health bureau is manifesting a keen interest in more recreational centers for all the people of the city, and is especially desirous of expanding the meagre facilities of this kind now available to the colored citizens. It was learned, however, that the city only twelve playgrounds, one-third of which are allotted to colored children. These are at John J. Smallwood school, Lamberts Point, Miss Virginia Proctor, director; John H. Smythe school, Queen street, Miss Mabel Perry, director; John West school, Miss Ada Collins, director; John B. West school, Miss Ada Collins, school, Berkley park, Mrs. Roberts, enes, director. All of these directors are in the pay of the city. FACILITIES INADQUATE Dr. Schenck, health commissioner, stated that he is fully aware of the inadequacy of recreational centers in Norfolk and appreciates the great value to the health and morale of the city. It is a matter, he stated, which has always seriously engaged his attention in public health work, and with the continued co-operation of the other city officials his department will make advancement along that line that will be able to a city the size of Norfolk. Street showers for children, which Dr. Schenck instituted with the advent of hot weather, will also be extended to the colored neighborhoods. One has already been opened at the Wakeeefe house. However, there are places that retard the expansion of the street shower idea. In the first place they must be located near a fire plue where water will be easily accessible; again, they should be where easily accessible to a large number of people on a paved street, where traffic can be suspended without any serious interruption to travel. The commissioner is constantly on the lookout for such locations and will open shower centers there as soon as assured that the place can be used to an advantage. The commissioner is increased so as to be of benefit to the colored citizens, if the plans of Dr. Schenck are carried out. SHADE TREE CENTERS Mrs. Julia Bowes Judson is supervisor of playgrounds of the city of Norfolk, and she too, expressed an interest in the colored children in this respect. Mrs. Judson suggested as a fine idea and one which is practiced in large cities with but few parks. That mothers living on a shade tree establish a community on a small scale under that tree. A group of mothers with young babies may get together and place a few sand boxes and stools or camp chairs under the tree and make liberal use of the shade. It will materially benefit mother and baby, she stated. Sewing and reading may be done under the tree, thus keeping babies cool and allowing them to avoid loss of time to the mother. Mrs. Judson stated that she will be glad to discuss this matter further with any group of mothers or some women's clubs. STATE MEDICOS SECURING RACE CLOSE ANNUAL PERSONNEL FOR MEET AT BEACH VETS' HOSPITAL Dr. Renniger, Norfolk Specialist, Gives Illustrated Lecture, and Other Physicians Read Papers. DR. DABNEY SUCCEEDS DR. FRANCIS, PRESIDENT Buckroe Beach, Va., June 28—The Old Dominion Medical Society has just ended its three day session at the famous Buckroe Beach Virginia resort.

D., Newport News; J. D. Williams, M. D., of Manassas, and the illustrated lecture by Jenneren specialized by folk artist, specializing in intestinal diseases, which conditions are especially prevalent during this season of the year, and which are also largely responsible for the high death rate among little children. The concensus of opinion was that scant clothing, plenty of fresh air, extreme care with the family physician will greatly assist in bringing this menace under control. Major Allen Washington, Dr. I. A. Jackson, Dr. D. W. Byrd and Dr. Alexander, secretary of the National Medical Association and member of New Jersey State Logistics, will be visiting the health meeting held in the beautiful new. Ogden Auditorium on the Hampton Institute grounds. The clinics were held at Whittaker Hospital; Newport News, Va., Amingst the social features were a smoker at the Community Center, Hampton, and an auto outing to Eustis and historic York Town. The call of the new Veterans The call of the new Veterans at Tuskegee for ten specialists in tuberculosis and ten in nervous disorders, emphasized the necessity of having a physician for the particular lines. So, the Society went on record as urging the admission of race men as internes in the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Burkville, Va., as well as in the Central State Hospital, for nervous disease and insanity.

DIVISIONS PLAN CONVENTION Resent Actions of Garvey in Turning Affairs of Organization Over to Wife. New York, June 28—Resent the action of Marcus Garvey in turning over the organization to his wife, following his conviction in a Federal District Court on the charge of using the U. S. mails to defraud, the heads of U. N. I. A. and the theologian the country are taking steps to hold a conference among themselves in the very near future to consider the future of the organization. This conference will not be held in New York City. That is certain. The division heads consider Harlem a hot-bed of fanaticism and will censure it. The choice of place governs the conference, Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis. It is reported on the highest authority that one of the main questions to be considered by this conference of division heads will be the calling of the regular annual convention this year in accordance with the Constitution, and that the instructions of Marcus Garvey, the instructions of Marcus Garvey, who early in February, this year, made the announcement that there would be no convention, until 1924, when it would sit in Liberia, West Africa. Receives Verdict For $20,000 (By A. N. P.) Atlanta, Ga, June 27.—What is believed to be the largest verdict awarded for the death of a colored person anywhere in the South, was handed down by a jury in the City of Atlanta on Thursday. Mrs. Mary Harper was the lucky person, and the verdict was for $20,000 damages against the Southern Railway Company for the death of her husband, who was killed in a railroad wreck last year. He was a mail clerk. Hines' Letter to President Harding Reveals Genuine Efforts to Man Institution With Colored Doctors. POLITICAL RADICALS ARE REMAINING SILENT Washington, D. C., June 28.—The "Powers that be" have spoken. The United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee is not only to be manned by colored physicians and nurses, but so vailantly have the professionals of the race responded to the call that General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veteran's Bureau, has written President Warren G. Harding officially that "We have been able to obtain practically sufficient colored personnel to man Tuskegee." General Hines full letter to President Hinton of the United States Veterans' Bureau, Washington, June 18. My dear Mr. President: "Knowing your interest in the matter of obtaining colored personnel for the hospital at Tuskegee, I feel sure that you will be glad to learn that through the efforts of the professional colored medical associations and the Civil Service Commission, we have been able to obtain practically sufficient colored personnel to man Tuskegee. At the present time a complete corps of colored nurses has been obtained, most of them having arrived at the hospital. "The Medical Division of this office is going to carefully the papers of doctors recommended for positions there, and we are interviewing those that will be in responsible position for us. I am sure that in the near future to be able to advise you that the hospital has been completely manned by colored personnel. "We have necessarily had to progress slowly in the matter because I have always felt that it was your desire that we, under no circumstances, put colored personnel there on duty that did not have the professional attunements to throughhold the world feeling that the colored people desire, as we do, that the disabled colored veterans receive treatment equal to that of any of their comrades. "I am giving you this information today because I have a feeling that a certain element, prompted by a desire to obtain positions for certain individuals that are not thoroughly identified, are attempting to hold the world application of statements that it is not the intention of the Bureau to man this hospital by a complete colored personnel, and I desire to reassure you that your wishes in this regard will be carried out explicitly. Respectfully, signed, Frank T. Hines, Director." The above confirms the report said on to the Associated Negro Press, President Harding, rebuffed the white delegation from the town of Tuskegee, who called on him some time ago to protest the appointment of colored officials. PRESIDENT KEeps HIS PROMISE The President, who those close to him say has always recognized the simple justice of manning the hospital with race doctors, has lived up to his promises given early in his career, behind Dr. Moton, who with southern whites baiting him on one hand and misinformed colored people, especially in the North, accusing him of compromising on the other, has been in an unenviable position. It is thus, however, say his friends, that the colored man usually serves his benefactor. The spotlight has been turned, however, on odd practices indulged in by men who have assumed the "political leadership" of the race, and who have been indulged in the wheel, attempted to parcel out the jobs, irrespective of fitness and muddy the waters. POLITICAL LEADERS ERR Aside from the harm they have done in clouding the issue, their attitude in attempting to rebuild their fortunes and position on the hospital has been amusing. In the meantime everything is serene on the Potomac and the Federal hand will doubtless quiet what unrest there is in white Tuskegee. Mrs. Lillian Atkins Moore, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Atkins, of Hampton, Va., graduated in Medicine from the Women's Medical College in Philadelphia, Pa., June 13, 1923.

Baptist Women Raised $5,144.60 Successful and Harmonius Session Closed on Sunday Night at Second Calvary. Sunday, the Women's Baptist State Convention closed a more successful annual session, which began Tuesday at Second Calvary Baptist Church. The session was held humbly and with a great idea; service to missions and education, the object of this body of women, seeming to have full possession of the members. Although, the money raised fell somewhat short of last year's report, which was nearly $7,000, $5,144.60 was realized. The field secretary, Mrs. M. E. Gordon, of Norfolk, reported for her work $802.50. Sunday night, Rev. Allen, secretary of the State Educational Board, preached a very excellent sermon for the convention. Mrs. Tyrell, of Lynchburg, president of the convention, expressed sincere appreciation over the way the officers and members co-operated with her in putting over the year's program. It was to the members raising the highest amount of money for the year were awarded as follows: R. H. Bowling, Sr., Memorial Circle of the First Baptist Church, Norfolk, Mrs. R. H.

COURT FAILED TO BRING ABOUT A THIRD TRIAL Little Rock, "Ark., June 28.—A marvellous intervention of fate, or probably through the efforts of some one whose conscience has burned them to a belated sense of an injustice done, six colored men, who were twice tried, convicted and sentenced to die by the Arkansas courts in connection with the Elaine riots of 1919, are today at liberty. The men were released suddenly and unexpectedly as they stood knocking at the gates of the state penitentiary near here. It is said that a misunderstanding or contradiction of orders gained for them their freedom. Sheriff A. L. Galloway, of Lee county, had brought them from the jail. Mariam on orders from Judge E. B. Robertson, of Lee County Circuit Court, he said. Warden Hamp Martin had no orders to receive them. They were set free. SPED TO TOWN IN AUTO SPEED TO TOWNS "Recording the town's bewilderment the men sped to town in automobiles, where they were at liberty to spend the night as they pleased for the first time since three and a half years ago, when they were arrested and charged with complicity in the Elaine riots in ninety hundreds of colored and white families," an opinion of the Arkansas supreme court yesterday directed the dismissal of the case against the colored men on petition of defense council which asserted that two terms of court in Lee county, where their third trial had been set, had passed without their having been acquitted. And thus, the drama-tragedy that was enacted in Elaine, Arkansas in 1919 appears to be slowly, but surely spending its fury. Justice, always late, but inevitable, seems to be protruding upon the scene. A few months ago the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its attorney, Moorefield Storey, succeeded in gaining from the United States Supreme Court a reversion of the courts of Arkansas in the case of these men who were languishing in the condition of complicity in that riot. The State failed to bring them to trial the third time. It is given out that a misunderstanding of orders brought about the freedom of the six men. Maybe, but it is more than likely that some one in authority felt conscience-striken of the inhuman treatment and injustices from which these poor men were suffering and let slip a cog in the state machinery. $15,000 FOR RACE SOLDIER MONUMENT Illinois Legislature Appropriates Nucleus for Memorial to Fallen Sons of Color.

Throman Clark in his address said in part: "Brotherly love is the essence of every scheme of religion and every system of mortality; it is the hymn of the Greek—the charity of the god of the earth and the pre-eminent quality of the Great Architect of the Universe—the test and proof of our nearness to him. It is to think no guile, to speak no evil, to do no wrong to anyone in the world; to enwrap them in a thick cloud; to shelter him from blight of calumny, to ward off the attacks of the open enemy, and the insidious foe; it is the great corrective of all that is foul, mean and selfish. By and through the great patriotism; the pious man true religion. "Masonry can and will educate her children to that higher morality of citizens of the world, which indeed, includes within itself the lower morality of citizens of States, but invites perfected and ennobled form purified from all the prejudices, the disadvantages to which we referred. She can and will embrace the higher religion "That religion in which all men can agree," which indeed, embraces the lower religion of creeds and sects, but divested of all ignorant, uncharitable views and prejudices; and this is one of the most beautiful features of Masonry, contemplating as it does a universal brotherhood, meeting and uniting on a plane of action far above the petty and changing creeds which enter into the religion and political opinions of the world. "Such is the mission of Masonry, "the grand and universal science which includes all others," teaching the relative and social duties of man on the broad and extensive basis of general philanthropy. Throwing down the barrier which the prejudices of mankind have erected between man and man, tearing away the golden garment of man, removing the raging heart against heart, spirit against spirit, strength against strength, giving to the worthiest the prize. "Massonry rises above all wars and hatreds. It sheds calm light upon human stripes, and for the moment, it shames them into peace. National differences; and national dialects do not prevail against it. The beauty of it is descernable in in every climate; the worth of it is the beauty of every language its thoughts and needs has no limitations; they come out from the love of humanity and claims them for its own. They are the elements of the eloquence to which all nations listen. They are the elements of the poetry which all feel; and whether in oratory or in — Attty, R.

THROMAN CLARK song, with them indied is a universal speech. "Should not thoughts such as they awaken within our bosom a renewed love for Masonry? Should they not induce us to consider her performances of an idle hour, or even a recreation of the intellect from the sterner duties or requirements of life? And having thought well, long and deeply, we must arrive at the conviction that Masonry is not perfect, but a teaching of duties to God, our neighbor and ourselves, but that she enforces a system of intellectual culture which should develop all the powers of mind with which we have been severally gifted, and which we possess within herself law sufficient to control the actions of all mankind. "Brothren, these thoughts are the proper material for working tools of Masons if used properly and faithfully. We being unable to polish our hands, we must store them to that state of perfection that when our dissolution draws near and cold winds of death come around and chill our brows; with joy may we go from our labor and find refreshment in the Paradise of God. Then with benefits of a pass and pure universal life may we gain ready admission in that lodge above where the Grand Architect of the Universe presides; where seated at the right hand of the Master we may be pleased to pronounce us just and upright Masons. "Brethren, then and then only will be filly prepared as limestone for that Spiritual Building that Holy Temple not made with hands eternally in the Havens, where no heaved vows shall be bound, but all that shall be experienced shall be perfect bliss.

SUNDAY JULY FIRST JOHN THE BAPSTIST LUKE 3: 3:8; 7: 24:28 (May be used with Temperature Applications) GOODEN TEXT—Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people, Luke 1: 58. Lk. 3: 3-6. It is one of the ways of God in the order of history to grant forewarnings of grievance. The predecessors anger- stition that such things as meteors or earthquakes are the heralds of mighty happenings itu makes us mistaken application of seavens' great principle of forerunning. In the storms storms and also we have the foreurners of the beauty of sum as meteors or earthquakes are the heralds of mighty happenings in history, is nothing but a mistaken application of seventh's great principle of forewarning the stormy gluts and also sweeping rains of Marca we have the forerunners of the beauty of summer. In illness and sorrow and the open graves have changed and useful lives. Before the full sunshine of the Reformation there was the dawn in Wychliff and his "poor preachers." So John was the great forerunner of Jesus. It was from their lethargy, He touched the national conscience by his preaching. He made men eager, expectant, open-eyed. In the far-reaching words of his great namenake he was sent "to bear witness of the Light, that all men in the night believe." Jn. 1: 1. M. Morrison. John Baptist's theme was baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. This wilderness preacher of Elijah type preached in the region round about the Jordan. John was simply a voice crying in the Lord, "Come, come, come to the Lord, Make his path straight, for all flesh shall see the salvation of God." Vs. 4. 6. "Today the Christian has greater work to do then the church ever before had the opportunity of doing social patriotic, reform, missionary, and evangelical tasks of supreme interest in every Christian to undertake then in the spirit and power of Elijah and John the Baptist. Let us each of us leap to the call." 2. John Baptist rebukes the Multitude which came out to his preaching. Lk. 3: 7. 8. Mt. 3: 5-10. He was no noly tongue preacher he was no n酵ophon. He was a servant of Jehovah, true and bold: he spoke the truth as Jehovah gave him to know the truth. A whole preacher, because he preached the whole gospel. He had a strain-forward heart-searching gospel for the centred-parented and worldly Sad- "John Baptist rebuked the restless greed for riches shown by the tax-collectors and incilicated upon the soldiers whose counsencies were touched the restraint of all violence and outrage; and to the astonishment of traditionalists, he neither refused these classes his baptism nor demanded of them the renunciation of their profession. Only when approached by the proud, self-satisfied Pharisees did he burst forth in wrath and invective. He had no statesman's program; his message was one of elementary ethics; its permanent value lay in the unflattering enunciation of the fundamental dictators of conscience as the true basis of the new theory."—Wm. A. Grist, in The Historic Christ in the Faith of Today. 3. John Baptist was a Great Man in the Right of the Lord.—Kk. 7: 24-28. John was more than a prophet (1) because of his personal relation to Jesus as his forerunner; (2) because he actually pointed out and baptized Jesus; (3) because his teaching was a nearer approach to the teaching of Jesus than that of any of the prophets." (Dumnelow.) The curiosity-seekers who went out into the wilderness to see John, expected to see a reed shaken with the wind, a man clothed in soft raiment. "The character of John the Baptist, Steen, wild and passionate, shaggy with his camels hair garb, sunburned, unkempt and unshorn, no reed shaken by John the Baptist, the prophet wounded wrench. "John's mind was lice his shaggy garment and his food-unusual, simple primitive. His thoughts passed through no medium of public opinion that then turned them down to words conventionally correctly pronounced, him as they came to him, immature and unsoftened by any thought of politeness or propriety." Jesus said that. "Among those born of earth there is none greater than John." "He was a burning and a shining light." Jn. 5: 35. "Great men are God's best gifts to nations, and the world's greatest men are discoverers of the ideal and the prophets of God.

JOHNSON Interim Secretary for Oklahoma GOD OUR FATHER In this manner therefore, pray ye "Our Father." Matt. 6: 9. Men did no know God until Jesus came. They thought of Him as being all wise, all powerful and everywhere present, but such a God repelled rather than attracted them. Being conscious of sin, they could not help but stand in awe of a God, who possessed all those presences they could not escape. It was utterly impossible to love a God like that. Jesus came and revealed this same god in a way to make Him attract and not repell men. He showed the omnipotent, omnine and omnipresent God to be a God who loved sinful men so much that He made him His son—joint heir with him. He made Him the most university of his as privileged to address God as our Father. We need have no mental reservation in doing so because the relation is not an assumption on our part, but a voluntary gift of God. See what wonderful benefits are our because the self-efficient, great Causes, which between himself and rebellious man which entitles us to call Him "Our Father." I. If we think of God as a father we do not have to understand great mysteries to know him. A self-existent, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere present God is too mysterious for us to understand. His father is easily understood and loved. Anyone who can understand the final relation between father and child. If more of us would think of ourselves as God's children, there would be fewer knows just how close we are to God. people making had history. Could a man for us is because of love for us. If we think of God as a father we would relate him. in a hurried way to even the weakest and humblest being, if we were thinking of God as his father? No a thousand times. People who think of themselves as children of God are so proud of the relationship that they try to think, that they try to believe that their life will reflect credit on Him. Therefore, knowing God as a Father is an constant incentive to live one's best. 11. We do not have to make Him love us. Do we have to make our earthly all others: and among the greatest prophets of this Higher Humanity Jesus ranked John the Baptist." John Baptist died for the truth—he who would be a martyr, must live for this truth. new life is the lost and most sublime "Martin, Luther." To Sail For Sweden 4 Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D., pastor of Queen Street Baptist Church and president of the Virginia Baptist General Association, left the city this week to attend the convention at Bristol Va., of the baptist wing of which he is the head. At the close of the session in Bristol Williams will depart for New York, from where he will sail for Stockholm, Sweden to attend the World's Baptist Alliance which is soon to convene in that country. The significance of the World's Baptist Alliance is just what is implied in its name. Baptists from all parts of the world gather at its sessions to discuss and exchange views on denominational policy. It is generally a coveted honor to be an attendant at these gatherings, and likewise a honor upon the city that has a representative sitting at the sessions.

If earthyathers love their children without being induced or persuaded to do so, how much more does God love us without inducement of us? That He has, He has for us We are told in the Bible that "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof." Everything *His* His by creative right. If we are His children we are heirs to all that belongs to Him. Therefore we are the children of God for the things we need. Too many people believe it is all right to pray for soul needs, but not for bodily necessities. If we trust Him, God will supply all our physical as well as spiritual needs. Verily all that He has, He has for us. If all that He is, He is for us, God has all power. We as His children are no weaker, if we lean on them, than the Everlasting Arms. No enemy is strong enough to harm those who trust Him. God knows all things. If He is our father, how comforting is God thought. If He is our father, God knows just how strong was the temptation. God is everywhere. 'Oh how joyous the thought that my Father is everywhere! If I am weak. He is there to give strength to me. He is there to give strength in the dark. He is my light; if fees saill and friends forake, My Father is present to protect. Negroes thinking of God as their Father, should be optimists indeed. He will take care of His own. Make sure that he is very own them. 'Smile at Satan's sage.' God will make for us friends from among those who oppress. If you could have attended the Oklahoma State game, would you have some weeks ago, you would agree with me on that point: White men and white women, representing the best of their race in intellect, morals and religion, took a stand on the race question, as generous and as brave as they were. They pledged themselves to get behind the interracial program with all the force at their command. Let us rejoice in the fact that all God is in the perseverance of children; and that, thank God, includes the eben-hood sons and daughters of Ham. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. J. R.

PENNANT DRIVE ON IN WESTERN CLUBS PENNANT DRIVE ON IN WESTERN CLUBS Race Fans Increase Attendance at National Games Between Big Leaguers. (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill., June 28—Negro baseball in America is enjoying its most prosperous year since its ban year, at this time the Negro National League was organized and proceeded to place baseball among the Dark Group upon a higher plane than ever before. Late June of 1923 sees the game again on the upward march both in progress and attendance in all the Western cities. Four clubs are now bunched at the top with only a slight per centage margin between them. The pennant winner, dark secret, four clubs having good chance to grasp the bunting of supremacy for the 1923 season. The Indianapolis A! B. Cs start ed the season in fine style, winning the first ten games played and retained the lead until recently when they invaded Detroit, and suc- cumbed to the terrific onslaught of the Wolwerines. The Indianapolis Cubs then took on the American Gulls, but this series the pennant was still a loss as this series did not definitely eliminate either, but rather made it more ugly as the A's are to be hosts to the Chicago entry on July 7, on their home grounds. In the meantime, Detroit and Kansas City will be battling along for the edge. St. Louis and the Cubans, along with Milwaukee, will give the contenders something to worry about whenever they meet. At the beginning of the season it was thought in some quarters that the raid of the West by the East would hamper the progress of the Western League clubs—but events have proved this to be unfounded. Already disruption is stalking the Eastern clubs and who will join east are seeking an opportunity to play the "Prodigal Son" rule. 1923 will no doubt prove the banner year of the west in many respects. Colored umpires have been added and are proving that they have the goods and can deliver them when given a chance. Next season will see a few more innovations in the West that will increase the efficiency as well as the strength of league in the West. In the East favorable conditions exist and after the new Eastern combination gets to going smoothly, it should be able to develop a good league race. Chas. West Trying For Olympic Entry Chas. West Trying For Olympic Entry W. & J. Athlete May Be Representative In The International Meet. Many believe the great athlete Charles West, is to be chosen on the Olympic team of 1924, which goes to Paris. He should be. Has he not won the greatest track honor and incidently the greatest athletic honor in the college world? If he should be the first athlete from Washington and Jefferson to receive this honor. He should win this event next year his position on the team would be cinched. Many think he should improve his work in the quarter-mile and discus throw. However, he steps the 440 in 49 seconds and that is not slow by any means. And besides, he got second with only Hellfisch ahead of him. At the beginning of the race he got second with Hellfisch ahead of him to the inside track. Getting second place in 49 seconds and having to go around the field is no small matter. We wonder what his time would have been if he had gained the inside track? He made Hellfisch and Erick break a week old record to come in ahead of him at the Penn games. Winning a place on the Olympic team would be the highest honor ever in an Olympic time by A. W. and J. College student. Hubbard is the only man alive who is jumping 25 feet consistently. ```markdown ``` MANHATTAN The Manhattan features are going well and drawing large crowds.

M. Hull. --- Some Sidelights On Our Athletes You have heard about De Hart Hubbard by now or else you have heard people talking about him. Mr. Hubbard made a name for himself and consequently some history for you on the day he did his wonderful jumping in Chicago on Staggy Field. On this field were young men gathered to show their prowess. "Thousands sat by and by," he said. "We will meet further an in life," said those who got up the organization, "on the field of intellect, moral combat, and mental warfare; we train their bodies to back up their brain." Many athletes overdo themselves, strain and stretch beyond capacity, and run their bodies. Brains more than muscle makes the athlete. Jack Johnson and Joe Gans fought with brains and hit with muscle. The runner who can train himself to remember the old truck saying that says to always remember the other man is as bad off as you, and who sticks it out by giving it up. Jame wins is the one who is equally the best frame of mind. Gourdin, before he made his record, solomon jumped over 21 1/2 feet, but the day he made his record he was as near 100 per cent case of mind as he has ever been. Some day we hope Hubbolt will be in this frame of mind when we do our best. Today know very little of Mr. Taylor, who has his history is more heresy and the history made of records of many pens. Mr. Taylor was the pride of the University of Pennsylvania in his career there. He set a record just as did Hubbolt. Make a record. Make it in any time for that matter and the world will organize you. Write your name high. Among colleges represented at Stag Field last Saturday we find these: University of Texas, Mississippi A. and M., Georgia Tech, A. and M., Baylor University. These schools of southern white young men, members of an American association, took part with 30 other colleges of all young men and returned home still-free, white and pressing 21. When, how unnecessary prejudices is made. Also, young white men from these southern colleges saw Mr. Hubbard do his stuff, took part with him, and forgetting the devil in them, as he is in most of us, cheered the Negro youth who broke the conference record with a broad smile. If Mr. Hubbard's left foot hadn't lagged behind he would have broken the world's jump record. Who holds the world's record? Another of your boys, Mr. Ned Gourdin of Harvard. So much for Mr. Hubbard and athletes. When Hubbard took the white rose and yellow. But you see, Michigan for the yells of 10,000 others. The air, you see, draws no color line. As soon as this dawned on the great crowd, taught to respect skill, the "color line" went down as Hubbard went up. From Mr. Hubbard's triumph from a lesson. Forget voices crying, all that of difficulties and—Jump! Epictetus, black, wrote of the Olympic conqueror. Hubbard, also black is an Olympic conqueror. Young men coming out of college determined to soley the "Race problem" could get up a history out of the Negro states. That would help in the "problem," would it not? "Yes," you are saying. FLOWERS-JACKSON BOUT, JULY THIRD (By A N P) Atlanta, Ga., June 27—"Tiger" Flowers and the famous "Tut" Jackson will fight on a big fancy fighting program on the night of July 3. It is expected to be a very lively fight. Flowers is expected to be a very lively fight. James J. Corbett and others while Jackson is regarded one of the best light heavyweights in the country.

SS ARE HAVING PLAYS AND PLAYERS New York, June 28—Oscar Michaels, moving picture producer, has begun the filming of Stribling's "Birthright" at Fort Lee, New Jersey. The picture is from the story as run in the Century Magazine, and promises to be live in interest. Miss Evelyn Evans, a senior sales associate, "Salute," has been selected for the leading part in the new Michaels production. It has it that one of the largest corporations producing movie pictures is soon to experiment, as they call it, with an all-Colore cast in comedy and in the more serious pictures. If they take, in the face of American prejudice, other more pretentious pictures will quickly follow. It is difficult to understand why this so-called experiment has not been tried out long ago. True, we have had a lot of movies by small cameras, both white and Colored, and some of our group have been given an opportunity to appear with white casts, but not one of the recognized big producers has entered this virgin field. There is nothing American unless the black man is in it. The stage has long held him off, but is now beginning to accept him. No fair-minded person questions his ability to have a man can prove where opportunity lies, and the screen artist he would fully measure up to his paternal brother if not surpass him. If this new field is opened up to us, as we firmly believe it will, hundreds of our young men and women whose talents have been hidden under the skin have an opportunity not only to earn an honest livelihood, but fame and fortune as well. The movie picture industry is here to stay. We must break into the game. A gold mine awaits the producer who has forsight enough to break the joke and realize that is holding the American in the riot.-Chicago Defender. A hand of twenty colored youths from Hamibud, Mo, won a hundred dollar prize in the recent contest between high school bands from all over the country held in Chicago. Many of the other bands present had two or more Negroes in their organizations, and the Wendell Phillips High School, of Chicago reversed the ratio by having only two white boys in a group of fifty. Mr. R. Nathaniel Dett composed a violin composition called "Ramah," recently, and which was presented in its first local presentation by Mr. W. M. C. Tessman. It is an important Negro life in the south. Miss Theressa Brooks, well known and popular comedie is retiring from the stage. Many dislike seeing this artist go.

This person is Gerald Allen, of the University of Pittsburgh, the most successful year in the past track season, literally making every one who defeated him make or break a record. Allen was the mainstay of the crack Pitt relay team, which shattered the record for the mile relay in the Penn relay and broke this record in a dual meet. The 800 yard record of 2:00 minutes held by Gumbling of Pittsburgh for many years was shattered by this athlete, who was clocked in the distance in 1:58-2-5 and later was timed one-fifth fast. Paris, France, June 27—Sikl needs a good manager, one who is firm and who can develop the better elements in him. All Paris is fond of him despite his escapades, which are numerous and amusing, even sometimes serious. His most notable achievement is shut into the ceiling of a cabinet and struck a policeman who tried to arrest him. The judge threatened to send him to prison the next time he appeared in court, and fined Frances. Sikl is debatable whether or not to come to America. If he does he will come under the management of Crüli's business mentor. TITUSTOWN *Rev. Henry Parker made a helpful address in Mt.

They make the ways of ancients live for us modern Negroes." "Negro artists and writers can make the world face Beauty in face and form and landscape and art in a way to convince that it is no illusion, for Beauty is Truth. We hear more of schools of Negro art. We hear more of Negro schools of Art and Literature—purely. In the development of such schools He boundless possibilities." Negro music means to many people the Negro spirituals and plantation songs which have grown out of the life of the race and which, with Indian themes, form most of America's folk-music. The wealth of music that has been written during the past fifteen years by modern Negro composers is not appreciated to its fullest. This music is both sacred and secular. Some of it is based on the spirituals, while some of it is no way expressive of racial feeling or idiom. It has an originally and melodic content that make it a distinct contribution to musical art. The "Pittsburgh American" has this to say about Art and literature. James Burris also a popular comedian, is dead after a long illness. He has been with many of the high class companies. An American Negro boy by the name of Mitchell, in 1917 invaded France with a jazz band. Ever since then, especially in Paris, jazz has been the rage. The $75,000 comedy, "How Come" is now appearing in New York with packed audiences. The summer vaudeville of Gilpin's is not definitely named though its probable name will be "White Mule," according to some. Gilpin is to appear in London in The "Emperor Jones," at the beginning of the regular season. There is a lot doing among promoters of college enterprises; but most of the fellows are trying to keep under cover. However, their own letters are scattering the stories of the various efforts that are being made to control the Negro business. We can't predict results, but whatever may happen will be anything that tends to keep the actions of the race employed is helpful. The Theatre Owners Booking Association is making a number of experiments designed to work out the best programs for the coming season.

The Grego tribe above Cape Palmats are the most progressives and aggressive people of Liberia, in Liberia, according to Dr. Reed. It was from this tribe that Miss Diana McNeil sprung. Miss McNeil was adopted by a Methodist missionary to Liberia twenty-five years later, the famous shop William Taylor, the famous denomination, brought her to this country at the age of four and presented her to the General Conference of 1886, declaring that she would save by environment and circumstances, a saying now a classic in missionary circles the world over.

She joined the faculty of Philander Smith College, Arkansas, and graduated from the University of Southern California. She joined the faculty of Philander Smith College, Arkansas, as a member of the faculty of the College of West Africa. But the climate of her native land was too much for her health, and she returned to this country and was prominent in educational circles.

Va., June 16—The legislature of West Virginia this week passed a budget bill which carried an appropriation of more than $150 million to the West-Virginia Collegiate Institute, the leading educational institution of the state for colored youth. The exact amount of the appropriation for the school is $545,000. This appropriation ever made in West Virginia for Negro education. It represents a new epoch in West Virginia for the citizens of color in the state. The mutual good-will which has existed for many years between the races in the mountain state. The highest state officials as well as the highest citizens of West Virginia take umbrella in the Collegiate Institute. It is the determination of all to make the school standard in every way. John, the president, and the table leader of the school, will get the support and encouragement of the all of the thinking people of the state. The State Board of Education and Board of Control, as well as the executive department of the state, will use the support and vital interest in the work. The appropriation is itemized as follows: teachers for teachers and officers $170,000; current general expense $75,000; repairs and improvements buildings and land $55,000. buildings and land will be added to $125,000 left to the credit of the Institution from the 1921 legislature.

The building now includes remodeled building will be remodeled a dormitory for men and boys. nighted or wanting in the essentials of orderly government. Mob violence defies all law, despises all government, and tramples into the dusty every human right. Mob violence in the South, in its beginning, most often occurred against individuals who attacked upon the sanctity of womanhood. Like all cancerous evils it has spread. It is now practiced for other offences, against the realms of race. But if the evil had remained or should be confined to the realm in which it began it is not to be tolerated by Christians or by intelligent patriotic citizens." The resolution of the Methodist Mission Board came up in connection with a recent lynching, and as follows are resolved: That a message of commendation and approval be sent Circuit Judge, Walker for his fearless and righteous exposition of the horrific crime of the murder at Fayette, Missouri, the time of investigation of a recent act of mob violence committed at Columbia, Missouri, and that, in the course of our sorrow over the crime of brutal murder by mobs so frequently occurring, throut our beloved land, not only because of the unrighteousness of such the defiance of the man, but also the defiance upon our Christianity in the eyes of pagan people." PASTOR AND MEMBERS FICHT AT COMMUNION SERVICES Old-Time Colleague of Harding Received at the White House for Conference. Washington, D. C., June 25-Hot Hair. C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, was in the capitol recently, where he had a conference with President Harding just before the Executive left on it. It will be recalled that editor Smith led the fight for candidate Harding in Ohio as far as the colored voters were concerned. He was one of the first prominent men who the race to ally himself with the Democratic Party came early days. This, because the President, U. S. S. Senator B. F. Willis and Mr. Smith were colleagues in the Ohio assembly in 1900 and 1901 and were friends, not mere acquaintances, states Mr. Smith. He was also a friend to heart talk with the Chief Executive that is bound to help the first citizen of the country and the race; and gave out the statement that the most important questions concerning the race were thorny for him and that he left the White House greatly pleased indeed. STUDENT CANDIDATES, CAMP MEADE R. O. T. C. Camp Meade, Md., June 28—Howard University is represented at the Reserve Officers Training Camp, at Camp Meade, Maryland. The camp provides students-candidates. The camp will continue for six weeks until July 25th, at which time commissions will be awarded to those students who have already completed the full course of training at T. G. Unit at Howard University. There are twenty-eight universities represented at the training camp at Camp Meade, with an enrollment of 868 college men. At the recent commencement examination, the camp offered thirty-five students we were awarded commissions by Honorable Dwight F. Davis, Assistant Secretary of War. Mr. Davis, in his address to the men who received commissions from the Office of the Corps, congratulated them upon the completion of their course and urged them to "keep always as their inspiration the example of that splendid soldier who was buried with the highest military honors—Colonel Charles Young." Three students under the age of 21 received certificates of elegibil Knoxville, Tenn.—The old-time preacher's oft repeated warning, "Be on the watch for the devil for the sometimes gets right in God's church, seems to be sound, he sometimes gets wrong at Mt. Zion Baptist Church here, when apparently the devil not only got in the church, but went right up to the communion table and started a fist fight among pastor, deacon and sister, preacher, sister, deacon, church officers and a score of members were in court explaining to Justice Hill just how much damage satan had done when he ran amuck in the church. Judge Jude, in the caseaga, had been a Baptist for more than twenty years, but I never before heard of a case of this kind. The pastor and officers of Mt. Zion Baptist Church need to do some more praying, introduced at the trial the trouble seems to have started this way: Pastor John H. Henderson and his henchmen turned out of the church sister Flossie Neal Williams, because, as the church treasurer testified, she wouldn't contribute to the cause. Sister Flossie did not consider her expulsive rule, but she is a deity. Her church, on the regular communion of Sunday she went to the church to commune. After the service had been passed around, pastor Henderson asked, "Has anyone been omitted?" Several hands went up. Sister Flossie and her two young sisters, who were in the same pew, put up hands. Pastor Henderson announced, "All I have been่า, and come forward." Sister Flossie joined the others and went forward. When the preacher and deacon-Hamby saw sister Flossie come to the front they held a caucus. Evidently it was decided to ignore her. When pastor Henderson reached the sister with the bread plate she reached for the bread. The pastor pulled in back. It took spying to be dead all the day floor. Sister Flossie determined to have communion, lugged forward for the bread a third time, when deacon Hamby grabbed her arm, twisted and squeezed her wrist. The sister tore alose from the deacon and mauled him several times over the head with her fist. The church officers had four warrants issued for sister Flossie, and the foreign preacher of the peace and the charging disturbing public worship. During the course of the trial, the lawyer for the woman brought out that the church was building a $25,000 apartment house for which all the members were taxed. But the preacher, refused to tell in NOTHING TO DO BUT BEDEVIL THE NEGROES We Will Keep This Twiddy Until He Gives Us a Race Riot From Elizabeth City (N. C.) Independent Elizabeth City, N. C. — A squad of four policemen, headed by the man-killer George Twiddy, finding nothing else to do; raided the home of Cynthia. Seth Saturday and made a thorny search of the place without a warrant, while Cynthia told the police claimed to be looking for a negro man whose jealous sweet-heart said the man would be found in Cynthia's house with another woman. The police found no man in Cynthia's house. There isn't a harder working man, home alone, or more respected color man than Cynthia Smith. She works from early morn until night; and can be seen any morning at daybreak with her pail and mop cleaning the floors of banks, stores and offices down town. It was while she was mopping floors in a down street that the police invaded the privacy of her home without a warrant. It is this wanton disregard of colored people's rights by ignorant, unsocial policemen that creates much bad feeling among the police of small towns generally. The police of small towns generally sense of justice in such cases and, too often, no sense at all. It is policemen of the Twiddy type who persecute and heedvil innocent and inoffensive Negroes until some day, an unungrated moment, they tack them over a Negro's shoulder. Then some one wants to lynch a Negro. But your Alderman will keep this man Twiddy on your police force when you work up a race riot. If he is retaliated for any other purpose, that purpose is not in evidence. ity which will entitle the holders to a commission -when he arrives at the age of 21. Protest Against Signs (By The Associated Negro Press) Galveston, Texas, June 27, On-line week a committee of representative city commissioners of the city of Galveston, and protested against discriminating signs that had been placed on the benches facing the Governor. The committee was led on by Dr. R. H. Stanton, popular dentist of the city, and other members of the committee were Dr. J. R. M. Lee, Dr. J. R. M. Lee, Dr. R. H. Stanton, and Professor H. T. Davis and Dr. Russell, Conwell Marlborough, pastor of one of the local Baptist churches here. After a vigorous protest the commissioners ordered county commissioners to remove the signs. whose name the deed for the property was. I sisters' testified in part, I went to the church for communion in the best of faith, knowing that I, had not been regularly dealt with and that no charges had been filed. I went to the Mt. Zion Baptist Church was supported by my father and mother and has been the church to which I have contributed a thousand dollars. I have worked hard that I have worked hard in the rallies that have been staged there. I am a Christian and went to the church where I was baptized and the officers there were Christians, and when deacon Hamby shoved, 'me about and twisted my wrists as he did, I cammed him over to the fists in an effort to defend myself. “I was determined to have communion,” the young woman stated, “and when Prencher Henderson took the plate of bread I reached for a piece of the bread and when he jerked it back he spilled the bread all over the floor. “I left the church with my two sisters and some of the other members and started for my home and when I was near two blocks away the police reserve car came up with William Bacon standing on the running board. Officer Joseph Reynolds stepped out and enquired as to which one of the women was fighting, and Uncle William Bacon (pointing her finger at the pious looking church treasurer, sitting nearby) jumped from the car and pointed me out and urged the officer to lock me up.” Mrs. Neal told of the officer apologizing for having to place her under arrest and told of his statement that he regretted to do so, but the church officers had insisted on his duty. WASN'T Able TO GIVE "I must be able to give them all the financial schemes which Preacher Henderson send said," said Mrs. Neal, "and when I refused to contribute $20.00 to the rally to help; pay for the flat, Preacher Henderson sent a committee to me, and I told that company an effort to educate my two little sisters and that their entire support was on me and I couldn't give big sums of money to the church. "It was then that they are said to have turned me and several other of the 'members' out of the church. The courtroom was packed during the trial, and when the justice dismissed the charges against sister.

Keeley, former live-stock specialist at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, now superintendent of the school's stock farm, near Richmond, well known for its Durce-Jersey hogs on "hog raising." Women Plan Better Homes Miss.Lula V. Walker, of Blackburg, Va., home-economics specialist, spoke to the home-demonstration agents and farm women on "Foods and Food Values." Mrs. M. C. Burritt of Ithaca, N. Y., stated that the problems of women in the farm industry in New York State. She reiterated the importance of having home-makers conserve time and strength. Miss Mildred C. Pratt, teacher of Foods, Institute Home-conomics School, spoke on House-decoration. Miss Eldora Oliver, clothing specialist, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, gave a demonstration in planning a comfortable, attractive living-room. She used simple hangings and curtains to demonstrate that right-thinking counts for more than mere moneypending in planning a comfortable home for a family. An Improvement Creed Prof. M. C. Buritt of Ithaca, N.Y., State director of extension services, gave the "Help and Local Leadership," made a plea for the extension of the principle of self-help, which underlies all good organization and leadership. He declared that the real job of the county agent and the community to discover and help to train the dormant abilities of individuals. "The county agent," he said, "if he is to be or agriculture what the teacher, is to the school and the pastor, is to the church which, each lead, and organize the agricultural interests of his county to the common end of better farming, better business, and better living. The county agent must believe that the county agent can capable of solving their own problems." Value of Co-operative Marketing John R. Hutcheson of Blacksburg, Va., State director of extension work, spoke on "Co-operative education: the science of education." He stated the Virginia farmers who worked under the system of co-operative marketing received last season a better price for a larger crop of tobacco contrary to the usual trend of prices when there is an increase in the tobacco crop. He added that the average price of $19,000,000 in 1921 and $40,000 in 1922. Director Hutcheson stated that Virginia and Alabama are spending more money on Negro extension work than any other States. In his judgment, Negro farmers of Virginia are doing good work and are getting results from the money which is being spent 16 help them. He stated to these farmers that they must learn new methods of producing, and handing crops, that they must pay for their educational experience; that they must spend every effort, to make crops of the best quality; and that they must fertilize a fertile Soil Source of Wealth. That all economic production of farm crops depends on a fertile soil, and that soil fertility may be increased throughout, Virginia by the green manure crops, fertilizers, and fertilizer were opinions expressed by W. P Moore of Blacksburg, Va. State assistant extension director, who declared that the county agents throughout Virginia could do not fertilize each soil fertility. He offered suggestions for improving the so-called "thin, or worn-out lands" of Virginia. Need of Co-operation and Leadership Albert B. Graham of Washington, D.C. who is in charge of the division of methods in the States Relations Service, gave the visit helpful suggestions for improving their local schools churches through community cooperation.

He pointed out that the present district's districts of strong, local leaders said that the conference members could do no better work than join with the county agents in developing the plans that have already been made for local and county organizations remained at Hampton Institute for an additional day to make plans for carrying out the programs which had already been before the people. Negroes Own 1,700,000 Acres Thomas C. Walker of Gloucester and a graduate of Hampton Institute, stated that, in Virginia, Negroes own 17,000,000 acres of land, not including city property. He declared that colored farmers of Virginia, have won the respect of them, and have supported their farms successfully and by organizing community clubs and school improvement leagues which have been real assets. "We must teach Negro boys and girls that the migration must be stopped, and their families must be mondens. Already 10,000 Negroes have left Virginia. We must tell young colored men to settle down and keep their feet on the soil. " If that the Negro wants to the white people, indeed they are now some 65,000 Negro children in Virginia out of a school population of 245,000, who are not in school. We must build good local schools and have good teachers, and provide for the education of our children. The county agents are agricultural preachers and community builders. There are now about 10,000 Negro boys and girls in Virginia. We have have helped by their parents. We have helped by their women. We have helped by our hands. 1800 of these boys and girls." 600 Negro School Leagues Lorenzo C. White, of Richmond, field secretary of the Negro Organization. Society, stated that there are now some 600 Negro workers in the community. He outlined the work of the Negro Organization. Society during the past ten years for the better- ment of people through their schools, homes, and churches. This society has started at Hampion Institute. RAISE FUNDS FOR T. B. SANITORIUM (By A. N.

Strawberry crops; worth millions of dollars have laid on the unplucked; cotton is fast dinging with sufficient bonds spick it, and the approaching harvests bid fair to meet the doom. Serious minded south white men have repeatedly conferences and tried to each the underlying cause of such spread migration. A negatively, however, is as much more so, a positive over. We have made a strong story of opportunities and limitations under which Negro land carried on in a city from the migration has been practically negligible. We believe that an answer to these facts will pre-anticipate that no foster migrati in nails as a forceful reply to those to unmollisify accuse the South not presenting fair economic opportunities to its Negro popula- Durham Our Model the city which we have chosen Durham, North Carolina. Here primarily 8,000 Negroes live in peacefully relationship with their neighbors, enjoying splendid monic opportunities. The tobacco factories, hosiery and building trades, as well as farm industries employ Negroes in important positions. More than one thousand colored men and women are employed by the tobacco factories in Durham. They enjoy various positions from members of tobacco to operators machines, which perform some the technical processes of the business. Unstable Negro Population Migrate While a few hundred Negroes left Durham, the number is actively small when compared to the exodus from other cities North Carolina and especially compared with the migrants from cities in other southern cities. Moreover, the city has not its steadily Negro working units. Most of those who have to constitute the floating population that usually changes locations in the spring of each year, upon whom industry cannot end for regular hours of labor in any season. Hosiery Mills Offer Unique Opportunity The tobacco factories do not offer a more striking economicunity than the hosiery mills of Durham, owned and managed by a well known Carr family of Durham. General Carr, a confederate veteran,'who once owned hives, has never lost his interest colored people. He shows it in the words in a larger way than eating occasional gifts to the widow of his former slaves. He built hosiery mills in which he built hundred colored hands are employed in Durham. Of these mills is named for Colonel John, Man O'Daniel, who lived General in four love doats. It was in appreciation of services which had enlarged General Carr's faith in the Negro as the first colored hosiery mills the United States to be operated in Negroes were erected by the Arts. The Negro hands perform every process in the knitting of certain threads of stocking from the toping to the final inspection. They create all the machines in the mill which they work and turn out finished product, pack for payment. This is an opening self-servanted colored people in the south of the south. Such opportunities for work are the foremost reason for negroes not migrating to Durham. Building Trades Employ Many In addition to these well established industries which offer steady work under pleasant, healthful, additions to two thousand cities of Durham, we have the building trades that employ Negroes as bricklayers, plasterers, painters. The Negro brickers are members of the white lions and work side by side with white men. Negro Enterprises Helpful We have in Durham the positions created by the thrift of Negro enterprises such as the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the largest Negro life insurance company in the world; the Banker's Fire Insurance Company, the only fire insurance company owned and operated by Negroes, the Mechanics and Farmers Bank the largest Negro bank in the state, and the Royal Knight of King David, one of the leading Negro fraternal orders in the United States. Why Negroes Do Not Migrate From Durham The general spirit of Durham is full of friendliness as well as an earnest desire to make the Negro population a part of its citizenry. The vote is never denied because of color. Splendid educational and social opportunities are provided for Negroes. There has never been a lynching in our fair city and the vote is green an honest hearing in the courts. If the same conditions that exist in Durham were found in all southern towns, there would be no cause for Negro migration, and we venture to predict on migrating in such numbers as is now being witnessed in many southern communities.

Change in City Administration The resignation of City Manager Ashburnings about the most important change in city administration since Norfolk adopted city manager form of government nearly years ago. It is probably the most important change in the history of the city government, made so by the number of large implemen t projects started by Mr. Ashburner, of which have been completed, so far as construction is concerned, some well the way to completion and others in the native stages. There have been only a few changes in the administration of which The resignation of City Manager Ashburn brings about the most important change in the city administration since Norfolk adopted the city manager form of government nearly five years ago. It is probably the most important change in the history of the city government, made so by the number of large improvement projects started by Mr. Ashburn, some of which have been completed, so far as physical construction is concerned, some well on the way to completion and others in the formative stages. There have been only a few slight changes in the administration of which Mr. Ashburn is the executive head since he assumed office in 1918, and there has been remarkably smooth and successful functioning. To fill his place, which he seems determined to vacate, with a man who can finish the things he has started without flagging the city's progress, or placing any additional burdens upon the taxpayers is the delicate task which the City Manager's resignation imposes upon Council. Norfolk adopted the city manager form of government with the belief that it would prove to be a panacea for some of the ills which afflicted the city at the time of adoption. We believe that we are correct in saying that Mr. Ashburner's administration has fully justified the people's faith. He has planned and executed many worthwhile improvements during his tenure of office with the co-operation of Council. A man of much ability and resourceful- necess he has attacked and solved many difficult problems. He will carry with him to his new field the good wishes of Norfolk people, for he has been the friend and counsellor of all creeds; classes and colors. Negro Opportunity in Alabama The regrettable controversy over the appointment of a staff to operate the hospital for disabled veterans at Tuskegee, Alabama, is a decided embarrassment to Southermers, white and colored alike, who have been taking the position that despite certain economic limitations and civil disabilities the South is the best place for the Negro race in America to take a permanent stand for development and progress—along all lines, which make for a satisfactory status as citizens. The attitude of the governor of Alabama the senators of that State, and others, who are assisting that Negro physicians and nurses shall not be included in the staff, and that there must be a wholly white staff is in strange paradox to the established policy of complete racial segregation in the South. It exposes the Negro race in the South to an unexpected hindrance to development within the bounds of its distinctly separate social and educational sphere. The plan to operate the hospital with a colored staff is certainly in line with the colored own policy of solving the race problem by building up a separate Negro social order. If, as Governor Brandon of Alabama says, to man the hospital with Negroes will "be detrimental to the Negro race the South," it is a question why Alabama has permitted Tuskegee Institute itself, and its own largest educational institutions of the race. There is no sound argument to support the intention of Governor Brandon and his group objects, and it will be exceedingly unfortunate for the race as well as for the South if its senseless row, based apparently upon nothing more than racial and economic grounds, not brought to a firm, definite and speedy inclusion by the government. As the hospital is built upon ground already occupied by the hospital, it is difficult to see the racial objections have anything logical to sustain them. As the government has numerous hospitals for white veterans, and as white medical men have ten chances in both government and private practice to one chance for the Negro medical men, the ecosis objections are unreasonable. In the final analysis, the whole thing aszes the appearance of an ordinary attempt to Negroes a splendid opportunity forancement in the medical and allied provisions. The advancement would considerably enhance the usefulness and efficiency of Negro's own distinctly separate social, as built up according to Southern policies. If Alabama wants to go upon recording opposed to such advancement that is business, but it certainly affords a poweroffset to the teachings of Booker T. Washon, which have become generally accepted the South's creed for the Negro, and almostpletely disarms those who would argue to Negro that Alabama is a good state in such live and do business.

Marcus Garvey Down and Out Marcus Garvey has been convicted in the rural Court, at New York, of using the s to defraud. He was arraigned on eight tts; three counts were dismissed and he convicted on one of the remaining five. Government's attorney asked for the max- in sentence, and the Court, on Thursday, 21, imposed a sentence of five years in and to pay a fine of $1,000.00. The trial was penniless with extraordinary Marcus Garvey has been convicted in the Federal Court, at New York, of using the mails to defraud. He was arraigned on eight counts; three counts were dismissed and he was convicted on one of the remaining five. The Government's attorney asked for the maximum sentence, and the Court, on Thursday, June 21, imposed a sentence of five years in prison and to pay a fine of $1,000.00. The trial was replete with sensational features. In the beginning, Mr. Garvey, by his attorney, challenged the fairness of Judge Mack, and asked that he should not hear the case, as he was affiliated with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but the request was denied. Mr. Garvey announced then that he would conduct his own case. During the twenty-seven days of the trial he acted as his lawyer, and the record shows that he did so with unusual vigor and intelligence; but he made many mistakes, which precluded his case. In a statement issued from the Tombs prison he says that the case against him was a "frame up," and that he will "go on a hunger strike as a protest against white injustice and prejudice," although he admits that Judge Mack was fair in his rulings during the trial. In concluding his statement he says: "My work is just begun, and, as I lay down my life for the cause of my people, so do I feel that succeeding generations shall be inspired by the sacrifices I made for the rehabilitation of our race. Christ died to make men free; I shall die to give courage and inspiration to my race." In these sentences Mr. Garvey reveals: himself as among the mystic fanatics who have had infinite belief in themselves and in their works and have not hesitated to die for their cause, Garvey is that sort of a fanatic, like Mahandhis K. Gandhi, that other one, who is languishing in an East Indian prison for preaching the doctrines of non-cooperation with the British rulers of India. Like most fun activities, Mr. Garvey was deficient in selecting the people whom he had to trust in his work, and he was deficient also in business ability. He was honest enough in his way, but spent a million dollars for unearthy ships because he did not know better and was not advised wisely. But all other parts of his business of the parent Universal Negro Improvement Association are conducted with like disregard of business ethics as the Black Star Line was. But he had the quality of inspiring others in his work and organized millions of his race for the redemption of Africa who were ready to die for their leader; so that, hereafter, it can be said of him in this respect that he did what no other African has done, but which some other African may and will do. Marcus Garvey is down and out, but he taught us that mass organization of African people is possible because he accomplished it. The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.)

Observed I with a hopeful grin, A cloud before the sun, I sighed and longed and went within, To wait there for the fun. The cloud departed, left in doubt, I could not understand, The sun again came peeping out, And took another hand. It is announced that there will be a summer session of school for delinquents. But isn't school the year round, an infraction of the child labor laws? Another discovery this month is that some men seem inclined to work if given a chance, but there are others who absolutely refuse to take chances. Since the high cost of living has made eating a luxury, the boarding house reach is swiftly becoming a lost art. The popularity of the iron hand of the law in Georgia when several members of a mob were shot at in Savannah suggests that the current of events is developing a high voltage. So now when weather man says rain, It gives me much delight, I do not from my work refrain, He so seldom guesses right. Spirit of The Press Recognizing Colored People as an Economic Opportunity J. A.

The Second annual food show conducted by the water metropolis of Virginia has just be concluded. It is gratifying to note the number of jobs nationally advertised commodities we found is profitable to exhibit and demonstrate their wares at this affair. The sales injurie and buying interest manifested there is an excellent indication to the merchants of the town as to the immense possibilities we have been exploited in failing to display the merchandise more extensively at the color fairs.

Concerns such as those manufacturers farm and home equipment represented will find in the thousands of progressive Negro farmers who attend the fairs a group hungry for appliances, for explanations as to their use, and for funds to purchase article that interest them.

The Public Pulse Editor of Journal and Guide. Sir: Your brief editorial notation on the use of cap and gown on high school graduates is indeed timely. I have been trying to appreciate the logic and propriety in their use other than those which academic attainments symbolize the completion of a course at least four years beyond the high school or its equivalent. The cap and gown represent the conferring of one of the following degrees, either by college or university. These are, the college science, the college science, art, literature, philosophy, divinity, medicine and co-ordinate professions, etc. It seems to me to be a piece of absurdity and a fall from the subline to the ridiculous to a group of high school pupils on graduation themselves with the habiliment of erudition. Sir: Your brief editorial notation on the use of cap and gown on high school graduates was indeed timely. I have been trying to apologize for the lack of information other than those which academic attainments warrant. The cap and gown stand for, or symbolizes, the degree or course at least beyond the high school. The cap and gown represent the conferring of one of the following degrees, either by a college or university. These are the degrees offered in the science, art, literature, philosophy, divinity, medicine and co-ordinate professions, etc. It seems to me to be a piece of absurdity and a waste of time. This does not mean that under every cap and gown there is coveted learning; it does not mean brilliance in scholastic attainments. But it does pre-suppose completion of work leadable to academic achievement, offered for scholarship in keeping with institutional requirement. It seems to me that it would be modest and nonpedantic to restrict their use to the old academic achievement. I would not dare to take one honor from the high school graduates, neither, I would believe their worth and value, but I do feel it is unfair to mislead them in the use of these symbols, which they have not met entitled, according to educational standards. May I also say that of recent years there has been too, much elaboration in connection with 8th grade graduates. I have listened to papers and addresses, class histories, class wills and class prophecies that would vie for these awarding students. One can readily see that these are not the only reasons and they are misleading and produce false impressions upon the pupils themselves. These are simply stages in the school career of boys and girls, and it is unfair to make or allow 8th grade pupils to assume the role of high graduates, and is equally as bad for high graduates, and features at graduation that are reserved for college, professional and university students. I share with these graduates in their innocence that we make the completion of study in these departments more important by training a lasting memorial; but they should not be encouraged to indulge in spectacular display of things that are not meritorious. Suffals, V. J. W. PIERCE, M.-D. 4. Who was the "Son of Laughter?" "Son of Laughter," Bert Wilt江华s, was born in the British West Indies in 1875. As a boy he was in the British naval academy, his jnual disposition soon won him recognition and he finally found himself in valdeville as a singing comedian. He rapidly arose to fame as a poessive comedian, and he became a popular figure, more of the crowned heads of Europe. His performances in "Sons of Hank" and "Dahoney" of "Abyssin" and "Land," are well remembered by this generation. He made people laugh, and it has been said that he laughed his way into the hearts of many men. As he carried the interests of his race into those hearts with him, he is to be numbered among the most famous for the bread that has been, is being, and will be seen and gathered after many days. Bert collapsed during his act on a large stage, called for a wrestle and passed March 6, 1922 in New York. 5. Did a Negro ever preside over the House of Assembly of any State? During the session of the House of Assembly of the State of New Jersey, on March 30, 1920, Dr. Alexander was invited to attend an Orange Assemblyman of Essex County, called to the chair by Speaker Harbert. After half an hour of deliberation on bills, Assemblyman Alexander was presented with the record recited the fact of a Negro's presiding over a House of Assembly for the first time in any State, and the first time in New Jersey. The House of Assembly passed, expressed profound respect for the ability of Dr. Alexander. In 1923 a similar honor was conferred upon Assemblyman Fredrick Calhoun. Calhoun, 6, Was Carthage betrayed? After breaking the power of Carthage, at Zama, the kingdom of Numida, an erstwhile ally of Carthage who became a tool of Rome and tricked the Carthaginians into surrendering their arms. When the war was over the Carthaginians withheld their engines, engines, or ships shut their gate and kept the Romans out for more than two years. Finally Sejpio fought his way to the citadel, and the Roman command of the Roman senate, leveled its last building to the earth and sent the surviving inhabitants to Rome. They to be sold as slaves. The Roman government to the Constitution of the U. S. A.? The 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S.

Nordic writers have such a carlecess way of forgetting to mention the troops, to look away back yonder under the Helen was the feminine scream of her day and she had more suitors than Henry had his fivers. She finally married Mr. Menelaus of Sparta, who traced his royal blood to the Greek war, who planted Africa in Greece before. Then Buddy Sheik of Troy, vladied the lady and eloped with her while King Menelaus was snoozing. Said elopement erupted the war that made Helen hot. It was once said that, "the old men on the wall of Troy," declared two nations to go to war over a woman. Just then Helen passed and the old women revised their opinions and dough to carry on the fight fest. So write it down in your memory that Helen belonged to us. There is only one author we ever read, Linda Lardy said. She was a brownskin baby doll. It was Miss Barbaid, of England, "Yes," she makes. Helen say, "I was brownskin and rather plump, but the boys fell for me just the same." There is a long record of, glory for us, Children of the Sun. A lot of women lost their admirers by嫁rying them.

The average girl who completes her high school education is not ready in the fullest sense of the word, to take upon herself the responsibilities of life. Her education has not been technical enough. She has dwelt upon things in general. She has studied all of her subjects. In college a girl will dwell upon a particular subject or subjects. A high school education is simply an introduction to higher education. A woman should go to college. A woman should increase her capacity or interest in her personal life and develop her personality, for leadership and efficiency. College increases a woman's capacity for usefulness in the community, in the church and in the college. College trained she is better able to help in her community. She can better see what is needed, and can better remedy this need. She is able to help how to use tact and thus accomplish much. When a community has college trained women, a community conscience will be awakened and needed. When a community is awakened to the same fact that confronted Cain: "Am I my brother's kept friend? A community conscience is better the boys, and girls, or the generations of tomorrow will be better. This can best be accomplished. College trained women, in whose college trained trust the training of the youths. A college trained woman is better able to aid in the church than one who is untrained. She knows how to help, and has been taught to help accomplish this. The work of a church depends upon its organized effort. If the organization is bad the work is like working on the work is considerably stronger. From time immemorial, the home has been the bulwark of society. That sure foundation upon which all races and groups must be built is the higher development to which all refined persons are attracted. The college trained woman can better occupy this position in the home. She lives of the following generations, because of her qualifications and ideals. She can occupy this position with becoming dignity and co-operation. A college training aids in developing a woman's personality. When a girl is in high school she is more or less under the direct supervision of parents. They question her about her, and she uses no initiative. In college a girl is thrown on her own responsibilities. She looks after herself, decides questions of right and wrong and other ques- BY MABEL TRAVIS WOOD The story of the experience of the girls of America with all its dreams of struggle and attainments, has recently been brought to light by the presentation in several cities of a pageant, "The Milestones of a Race." Miss Ada Cogman, a talented young organizer for the Playground and Recreation Association of America, is the author of the pageant. She has directed its production, using colored groups organized for recreational activities in various cities of America, and has been trained by the Playground and Recreation Association of America. The pageant artistically depicts the progress of the race; first exerting African and then proceeding to his own citizenship, and participation in the World War. Some of its episodes are Scenic in an African Worship, Freedom, Progress, Flanders Fields and Black Americum Worship, a program of great beauty accompany the giant and has given choruses of colored people a chance to present spirituals, plantation songs and music by modern Negro composers tions of importance. In that developing her personality. When a girl completes her high school course, she has not learned anything yet. She has not as yet made up her mind as to her life's work, or can she decide questions of importance. She is still in her life's work. She is still in her life's work. When she completes a college education, she is more mature and more rounded out for life's work. College training gives her wisdom, vision, and wide intelligence. A college education prepares a woman for leadership along different life stages, a political woman, a teacher, or a business woman. Having completed a high school course, a girl is not prepared to live a life. If she desires to teach she is not trained along that line, if a business woman she is not sufficiently prepared, if a political woman she knows nothing scarcely in that field. A college can only prepare women for leadership. Since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment, women have been placed on an equal footing to compete with men, she must be equally trained, and only a college can do this. Having obtained a college training a woman can present her subject in a way that a man can understand, grasp it, be able to give the man back to her, and thus make a successful teacher and a leader along that special line. A woman can better participate in the field of politics and eventually be a leader. Having received the training she is able to better understand the platforms of a party and what they stand for. She will no longer vote for a certain party because she is not or any other person did so, but the principles for which it stands. In the field of business a college woman can better enter and fill. She will know her work well along that line, and be able to excel one year after the other. In any vocation a college woman has better advantages for leadership. a college education increases a woman's efficiency. Efficiency is the demand of the age. It was less demanded in the past generations than it is now. In the future it will be more demanded. Only those who have a good line of work will be used. To gain this efficiency a woman must have a college education. A college woman will be more efficient because she will be better at sitting on their own's personality, giving up para one for leadership; and last, it increases one's efficiency. A woman should go to college too. A little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deep or touch not the Pierian spring. in a way that has been an inspiration to thousands. Unusual interest has been manifested by both colored and white audiences wherever the pageant is been produced. At Rockford, Illinois, members of the Booker T. Washington center were the actors, the pageant played to packed houses on two evenings. Important people who witnessed it and sent written commendation included the Lieutenant of Illinois and the President of the Rockford Kiwian Club. The pastor of the city's leading white church said, "I had no idea that there was as much latent talent among the colored people in Rockford as the pageant." A leading business writer, "we can truthfully say that this is the most successful amateur play that has ever been attempted in this community. I cannot help feel that this pageant will result from good than could have been accomplished through any other source."
