C.—"Should North Carolina expand a billion dollars on Negro education, not one ounce of brain power would be added to the 500,000 black men of this state unless they themselves determine to learn," declared Charles Satchell-Marris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., the famous colored orator in an effort to mount Carved Baptist Church continuing, he asserted: "The state may provide the physical equipment, but we ourselves must provide the human material. God planned for us to do our own thinking. Had God desired our friends of the other race to think for us, He would have placed a white heath upon a black body. He would have given his own race to contribute to the welfare and the progress of the south. "Ours is frequently a suicidal theory, when we excuse everything that happens to us on the basis of color. We affirm that because we are black certain emoluments that would ordinarily have come to us have been awarded other opportunities because of a lack of ability and of merit. Ralph Waldo Emerson, prince of American philosophers, uttered that cloquent trismut: "If you make a mouse trangether than another man, the world will make a beaten path to your door. At successful rejoice over what we rather do, over what they lack. Indeed the supremum trinity of fate is in taking what you have and making what you want." What Goodness implies The speaker stated further, "I am constrained to believe that the members of my race have been taught to be simply good altogether too long. A man may be four things: good-for-nothing and good-for-something. The Negra must be taught not merely to be good, but to be good for something. More passive virtue has never redened a race, nor saved a race." month, a schedule of inter-racial understanding the speaker declared that Two boys-a-boys bar the way to a satisfactory and permanent adjustment on either side. The white man has been taught to fear so-called 'Negro domination', which is absured on the face of it, for the black man is hopelessly outnumbered and hopelessly suicidal in the agencies that condemn 'The age-old belief in the face of it, for so-called "socialinity" is the second barricade. But the black man's desire today is to develop a strong national consciousness which will necessitate a strong desire to develop and expand his own race. We are proud of our group. We make their contributions to this our grand and common营途. We forget the so-called 'But as the Hindu mysticism his strictaism and his mysticism, as the Chinese contribute to their reverence and veneration; as the German contributes his epic poetry; as the Irishman his wit and humor; so will the Negro contribute patience and his loyalty and his faith in deathless music that is fit song for the domain of the nation. The great majority of Ne Anti-Lynch Bill Favorably Reported Washington, D. C. The Judiciary Committee of the House reported without amendment favorably the House Bill Number One. It is known as the Anti-Lynching Bill. A motion was also passed directing the chairman of the committee to ask the Committee on Rules for a special rule to make the legislation a Bill to be taken up in the House at an early date. Toy Pistols Fatal To Five Children New Orleans, La.-A. N. P. Five children, between the ages of 1 and 13, died in one day from Tetanus produced from infections due to the explosion of cap pistols in their hands. It is said that the poisonous wounds on the hands of had developed. Hospital physicians joined Police Superintendent Montancy in a general warning against permitting children to play with toy pistols and added a caution to have all those so burned treated at once. For The A. N. P. I. Birmingham, A. L. — Joshua Washington, leaping direct out of one of Octavus Roy Cohen's stories, dragged up to the police station here this week and told the officers that he craved admittance. When questioned as to the reason, he explained that he was anxious to get clear of a new hoodoo order which had been formed in Atlanta and which is just making itself felt in this city. The order is known as the "Order of the Black Cat Bone." Its members are credited with being able to change themselves into any kind of animal they desire, horse, mule, cow, or into an insect. Washington told the police his wife had been transformed into a gnat and he could get no rest, night or day from her. He was admitted to jail and put under the care of a physician who began looking for other signs of mental derangement. SEE BARBERS AND BEAUTY ARTISTS IN GRIM BATTLE Bobbing of Women's Hair Sole Right of Licensed Barbers Tonsorial Artists Declare In Opening War. INSIST THAT WOMEN WHO CUT HAIR BE LICENSED (For The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Barbers may come and barbers may go, but the beauty culturists intend to go on forever—thus, to paraphrase lines once uttered in sublime endeavor. New styles in women's headress, notably the hair hob, have got the barbers, not only in Chicago, but in all parts of the country in arms. The men have declared they were the only ones with the legal right to shear locks be he they male or female, long or short. But the beauty culturists declare that their intention is not only to make dimples and squeeze pimples, but to shear the old "kitchen" as well. Therefore, the fight—to be or not to be, Barbers, Negro barbers at that, in this city are protesting that the women in beauty parlorers be licensed to cut hair, or stop it. They have got along rather far in their fight, and the women are fearful that something legal or drastic is going to happen. They are confident that this matter of bohs means a lot to them, for, whereas, the white sister may change her style are long, her brownskin sister has not only found beauty, but also salvation, in the bob, and is not disposed to give it up for any other changing fad. WILL ORGANIEZE As a consequence, a clairion call for organization has been sounded by Mrs. R. C. Oles, national organizer of Colored Beauty Culturists, who operates two shops, headquarters at 3432 Cottage Grove Avenue in this city. Mrs. Oles got the women told here this week. She mentioned the danger they are facing—the possibility of the men depriving them of one of the largest sources of their income, and then called attention to their lack of professional cooperation. One of the largest beauty culture organizations in the country, a white group, recently gave a big get-together in a leading hotel of this city. The white beauty specialists face the same fear the Negroes do. Colored workers were invited to the dinner. More than 2,900 invitations were sent out. One colored beauty worker responded to the call. Mrs. Oles hap- (Continued On Page 7) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 LINCOLN LEAGUE SENATOR WANTS MEET WILL DRAW U. S. MARINES G. O. P.

Uah Senator Offers Resolution Showing Reasons For Withdrawal. Existing Relations Unsatisfactory. NO LONGER ANY NEED OF U. S. OCCUPATION Washington, D. C.—A. N. P.—Haiti persists in being one of the big issues before the government. Some say it is the purpose of the United States to eventually absorb all West Indian Island possessions, including Cuba. Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall, our only racial representative in Haiti, according to information reaching here, is to receive a promotion. Senator King's resolution follows: "Wherens the relations between the United States and the Republic of Haiti, have assumed a condition which is unsatisfactory to the inhabitants of said countries and otherwise disadvantageous to the United States, which condition is due in large measure to the presence of the naval forces of the United States in said country and the exercise by the United States of the control of the finances and revenues of said country; and "Whereas the purpose of the intervention by the United States in the political affairs of said country, the direction of their revenues and finances, and the police of the same by the United States naval forces has been accomplished, and there is no further advantage either to the United States or said country from any continued intervention in its affairs; Now, therefore, be it "Resolved. That it is the sense of the Senate of the United States that the President should withdraw the naval forces of the United States now in Haiti and should arrange an abrogation of a treaty, protocol, or other agreement providing for the intervention of the United States in the political affairs of said country and that it is the sense of the Senate that Haiti should be free from any external interference with its domestic policies or internal administration.

C., Makes Brilliant Legal Fight. Plymouth, N. C.—P. H. Bell, a successful and prominent lawyer of this city, and senior member of the law firm of Bell and Andrews, won an important civil case in the Superior Court of Pasquotank County at Elizabeth City last week. The case involved title to Ranoke Institute, a school for the training of Negro youth at Elizabeth City, and owned and supported by the Ranoke Institute association. The face brought out at the time was that some time earlier the Ranoke Baptist Association uncovered its trustees to borrow a sum of money not in excess of $1200 for school purposes. The trustees acting upon this authority attempted to borrow $1100 from the late C. W. Brown, a white attorney. Of the seven members of the board, only three signed the deed of trust, however, and in meantime some questioned that to a prior deed of trust that had been paid, the proceedings were pending the association convened and raised the needed funds from other sources, thus informing the three trustees who had signed the deed of trust to proceed no further, as the needed money had been obtained. It later developed that immediately after the signing of the note and deed of trust, attorney Brown sold this collateral to the late John S. Morris, however this circumstance not learned by the board of trustees until after the death of Mr. Morris, and the representatives of his estate at (Continued on Page Seven) Negroes Have New Hospital Columbia, S.

NOTIFIED THAT BID IS FORMALLY ACCEPTED Information has been received by Messrs. W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News, and Norfolk, Dr. A. J. Strong, vice-president and treasurer of the Metropolitan Bank, Norfolk and Dr. Norman Lassiter of Hampton, that their bid tendered last week to the United States government for the purchase of the entire town of Truxtun at a figure said to be around $141,000, has been formally accepted. Altho not specifically stated by either of the men concerned, it is generally believed here and in Jackson, that nothing stands in the way of a full consumption of the deal except a few necessary formalities attendant upon such transactions.

Eight Millions of Insurance In Force. WHITE COMPANIES EXTEND COOPERATION Durham, N. C.-Recent success of the Banker's Fire Insurance company of this city in securing the cooperation of similar white concerns in the states in which it is operating, stamp it as one of the child prodigies of the Negro business world. Less than three years old, and dedicated, to an entirely different aim than any other Negro business institution in the country, Banker's Fire has swept on with a refining furry which has consumed all the obstacles in its way and blazed the trail for bigger envoror. When it was organized, it was debatable whether a Negro fire insurance company would stand up. The question has now been settled. More than that, the men behind Banker's Fire have made it so solid that southern white companies have been glad to enter into reciprocal relations with it. As a consequence, one finds it possible for the Banker's Fire to write insurance in different of different states, and automatically have such business accepted by white insurance companies in the state. Such contracts have just been committed. Banker's Fire is now operating on a $200,000 paid capital, has a premium reserve of $75,000 and a surplus to policyholders of $230,000. They now have business in force amounting to $8,000,000. It has in force policies on property and by the United States government and the State of North Carolina. W. G. Pearson is president and C. C.

If the identity of the person guilty of the spurious notice to paper is ever learned, the will be prosecuted under the federal statute covering such cases. The Editors. A Gas Saving Range Being Sold By Hicks Else where in this paper is advertised the Chambers Fireless Gas Range, being sold by the Hicks Gas Appliance Store. This range is said to be one of the greatest money savers yet invented for gas users. Thirty minutes gas is all that is required to cook a roast with this range, it is said.

Macaele, a very famous representative of the store for the colored section. Macaele desires it to be known that he will be pleased to give free demonstrations of the Chambers Fireless Gas Range.

All were assessed $3,00 and costs, cx- cept Montana, who the others ex- oncrated in their testimony. & § §& }t00 JOYOUS OVER DISMISSAL GETS A FINE OF 85.00 No doubt there was reason for joy among a group of defendants who had been arraigned on a gambling charge before Police Justice Spin- dle Monday morning when they were discharged, but sinee they did not know how to respect a court, they drew a fine of $5.00 each for contempt before leaving the room. Linwood Bell, Irving Fulford, James Williams, Cecil Wiggins, Clifton Duke, Joe Stafford, Wil- liam Brown and William Johnson, were called to the bar to answer on charge of unlawful gaming. They were represented by attorney J. Eugene Diggs. After heaving ‘testimony of the arresting officers jand the argument of the lawyer, ‘the court dismissed the charges. As soon as the word “dismissed” ‘was uttered the men hastily filed ‘out of the courtroom laughing and cheering loudly as they went. The court immediately ordered the po- lice to intercept them and bring them back before him. Each one was fined $5.00 and costs-for eon- tempt of court. A few paid, and the others went to the pen to Ia- ment over their silly conduct in exhibiting such rank and asinine manners in a court room. It is certain that Judge Spindle allowed for their ignorance in as- sessing a fine of $5.00, because the actions of the men were such as to merit serious punishment, * $8 § - Unlawful Gaming James Robinson, Alexander Thompson, Willie Small, George Dyson, Ernest Peterson, David Chatman and Lee Copeland, paid @ fine of $3.00 and costs for un- lawful gaming. $$ § Abraham Manely, Charles John- son, Ernest White, Henty Johnson, [Raymond Harrell, Ed Stallings Cornelius Black, Henty Morgan, Sandie Vaughn, Eddie Brinkley, James White, and William Allen, paid $3.00 and costs for unlawful gaming. § $$ § | Edward Rogers, Nathan’ Smith, Charlie Welsh, Ernest Williams, James Coleman, Floyd Riddick, Ar- chie Ward, Ed Smith, Peter Rogers, Sylvester Holloman, James Ham- lin, Ed Godfref and William Walk- er contributed $3.00 cach to the city treasury for their fondness for the ivories. $6 $ § SLAPPED A WOMAN AND PAYS A FINE | Mack Smith admitted that he slapped Corrine ‘Williams after a disagreement between him and her.

It was the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of his people, yet the God of his people no longer local or tribal, but as all in all. With the revelation Moses was fitted at last for the work from which younger he had, been put aside.—(Basil King). Moses, the shepherd led his sheep to Hored, the mountain of God. A strange thing happened, a bush took fire, God appeared in the burning bush, and the bush was not consumed. This great sight arrested the attention of Moses, and he turned aside to behold this wonder. face with God."—Parker When God saw that Moses was interested, alertly open-eyed, he called Moses. When Moses realized in whose august presence he stood, and that Jehovah was speaking, Moses hid his face, because he was fearful of looking upon God. "It was the belief that no one could look upon the Diving Majesty and live. We have other thoughts since men have seen God in the face of Jesus Christ. II. God's Great Purpose In Calling Moses—Exodus 3:6-10. "If your heart ever aches because of the cry of the needy or the depised, and your eyes behold a vision of God's infinite love and tenderness, put the two together; they are God's methods of calling you to service."—Kent. The people of God oppressed, had called unto Him for deliverance God who is deeply concerned about his people, about all people who are oppressed, heard the cries of Israel and decided to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, their task-makers. Through Moses, God was to deliver Israel, and lead them into a land of milk and honey, a good land and a large area. A mighty task was Moses—go to Pharaoh, lead the people of God out of bondage. "God had come down to deliver them; and the combined power of earth and hell could not hold them in captivity one hour beyond the appointed time. He might and did use Egypt as a school, and Phinnoh as a school-master; but when the needed work was accomplished, both the school and the school-master were set aside, and His people were brought forth with a high hand and an outstretched arm." III. Moses' Reluctance to Respond to the Call—Exodus 3:11-12. "Heroism does not come with equal call to all heroes. Isaiah heard God's call and responded, 'Here am I send me.'

Forty years earlier had he been steeped in self-confidence, eager to lift the burden of this people single handed, but now he was self-distrustful, and desperately sensitive of his own fitness; he was slow of speech and a slow of tongue; he lacked the authority that would convince the children of Israel that God sent him." Humanly speaking, who is Moses that he should go unto Pharaoh? God and one make a majority. God had pledged to go with Moses and be with him. This is the proof that God had sent Moses.

At nine o'clock the Sunday School met with many scholars and teachers present. The new officers and teachers were installed by the pastor. At 11:30 the pastor delivered a fine sermon from John 10:27-28. The whole church was rejoicing at the burning message. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5:50 p. m. and the new observers were installed. At night the pastor gave another message from Gal. 6.9. Next Sunday the pastor will preach in the morning a special sermon on "The Sins of A Godly Man." At night he will preach on "The Danger of Being Proud." A hearty welcome to all. All services in our church last Sunday were well attended. The spirit of the Lord was greatly felt in the early morning prayer meeting. The newly elected officers in the Sunday School were at their posts to take up the work of the year with new vigor. The pastor preached a good and wholesome sermon at 11:30 from the subject "And God Opened Her-Eyes And She-Saw A Well Of Water. He told how God would spring up into a well of water that would never run dry, if we would only call on him in faith. After listening to his message two persons came forward to unite with the church. At 2 p. m. a large crowd was present in the Covenant Meeting. 4 p. m. the pastor gave the right hand of fellowship to those who had been received in the church during the month. He then served the Lord's Suppr. At 5:30 the B. Y. P. U. held their exercises after the election of officers took place. Mr. Rudolph Charleston was presented with a handsome bible for reciting the largest number of verses in the bible. At 7 p. m. the prayer meeting was led by Mr. Frank Burden. At 7:30 the pastor preached another excellent sermon. Dr. Madison is giving each Sunday a strong message and it will do all good to hear him. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E. CHURCH There were five conversions in the Sunday School. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached an inspiring sermon. Five more conversions making a total of ten for the day. The revival services are stilil in progress. We had 20 conversions up to last Sunday night. Revs. Dr. Berry, Scruggs, Moore, Blake and Young preached last week. This week the Revs. Smith, Garret, West and Brown and Billups will preach during the services. The singing by the choirs are of a very inspiring nature and adds much to the services. Our members and friends are attending these services well and rendering good help. This Sunday the revival is scheduled to close at night. The pastor preaching the closing sermon. Our church is spiritually alive, peace and harmony are the watch words. Our slogan "Keep Busy For God". All are welcome to these services.

A very interesting meeting was held. Preparation for the district mass meeting which is to be held on January 17 at this church was made. The Willing Workers' Board met in their semi-monthly meeting January 6th at the home of Mrs. Annie Alexander, 743 Cumberland St. Three new members were added, Mrs. Lizzie T. Donaldson, Mrs. Nannie Giles, and Mr. Albert Alexander. After the transaction of business a very dainty repast was served. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Louise Crawford, 522 Cumberland St., January 20. A stirring sermon embodying eloquence and conviction was preached on the text, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowth, that shall he also reap." (Gal. 6:7.) by Rev. C. M. Long, at the Bank St. Church during the Sunday morning services. Striking parallels were drawn between the sower of the seeds and the sower of the deeds to the Spirit. While the Bible is supposed to give us a revelation of God's will and the diving instruction by which we are to walk, yet this is but one phase of that great principle of the teaching which like a silver thread runs throughout its entire pages. In our everyday life the farmer is the sower and the basis of the fabric of our civilization. Without him every other industry must totter and fall to the ground. As individuals we are constantly sowing seeds no matter in what environment we may hap- Indianapolis, Indiana Last Sunday the services were well attended. The pastor delivered a masterly discourse morning and evening. The Sunday School attendance was 517. The Sunday School choir and orchestra rendered excellent musical selections. The Allen League meeting at 6 p.m. was led by Mr. James W. Davis, vice president of John M. Brown League. The service was interesting and helpful.

On next Sunday the pastor will preach morning and evening: subject "His Bow abode in Strength" and "Sleeping Christians." Rev. Bowling To Preach A Series Of Special Sermons "Old Stories With New Morals" has been announced as the subject of a series of special sermons to be preached by Rev. Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church. In outlining to his congregation the nature of these sermons, the pastor said each one would be based on some gripping life-story found in the Bible and would point a moral for present-day living. The first sermon in the series will be based on the story of a foolish promise. Other features of this service will be the singing of the full chorus choir under the direction of Professor W. C. Fulford, and the guessing contest. Each one will be invited to guess the character or incident on which the sermon will be based. The service this Sunday evening will begin promptly at 7:30.

This bird lives on the carrion and filth of the earth. He is greedy for tainted and nasty things. Wherever there is a dead and decaying carcass the buzzard is there also. The bee is an insect.

The bee nature people love the beautiful and delight only in the good and lovely. They read only the wholesome and elevating literature. Their association is the best and noblest.

Wilborn, Kinsale, Va. 5,300 There are many judges who do not feel that there is a higher law than the law they uphold; a higher claim of mercy and human feeling than society's unfeeling revenge upon a criminal. Repeatedly, news accounts tell of judges of this type; men who made it their business to regard the letter of the law as greater than its spirit. One such judge displayed his inhuman temperament in a case where mercy would have been rewarded by a more lawful attitude on the part of the underworld whose most famous yeggman he compelled to die in the penitentiary. All this broken-down and reformed criminal asked for was to be allowed to spend his last dying moments with his frineds, in Crooked Alley. Because he was not granted this obviously reasonable request, another leader of the underworld sought to teach the judge a lesson. And from this remarkable situation Jack Boyle, writer of those widely read stories of "Boston Blackie" created a story in which Blackie is the outstanding figure. As published story it was called: "The Daughter of Crooked Alley," but as a Universal all-star photo-drama, coming to the Attucks theatre Friday and Saturday, it is called "Crooked Alley." Thomas Carrigan plays Boston Blackie in the picture and Laura La Plante is "The Daughter of Crooked Alley." Owen Gorine Tom S. Guise, Kate Lester, Lillian Worth, Sidney Bracy' Al Hart Frederick Stanton and others of popular note have the remaining principal roles. One of the special attractions at the Attucks is the music rendered by Bob and Chick. Bob sings and plays the mandolin while Chick jazzes at the piano. SPORTBOARD REFLECTIONS BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. All of the people who appreciate the value of athletics, who realize its importance, and who are themselves athletes, eagerly look forward at the end of each football season for the various mythical elevens, known as All-American, All-Association, All-Southern, or by some such name, that are, in the estimation of the writers who pick them, composed of the best and most versatile players playing during that season. Some persons invariable disagree with the choice or part of the choices for the prized and esteemed berths on these teams. However, that is as it should be—to a certain extent. If the person disagreeing has more authority than than the selector on the subject, if he has seen the player in question in action more times, then he can disagree with reasonableness. But if it is just a case of mere opinion formed from one game of from mere hearsay, he should accept the choice as being as near correct as possible. Now, it might be asked, "what is it all about, what is the good of having a team that never plays another?" Probably the reason behind might give some idea of the good, for it is undoubtedly a good thing. First, it is a reward for work well done. Then it sets an ideal to work towards, a goal to be reached, an honor to be won, and increases competition to a three fold affair. Everybody appreciates a reward for work well done, for excellence in athletics, or anything else. A player who wins one of the coveted positions usually deserves it, for undoubtedly he works. It, then, encourages efficiency in playing one's position, it develops persistence, and along with these good traits and others. As to the setting o fan idel to work towards, anyone who works towards an ideal has created in him a reminder of the job at hand and the good to be gained an driven. An ideals inspires one to greater things on the gridiron as in other things. It gives a player three things to keep him doing his best; that of doing his best for his school, for the gaining of a place on the mythical elevens, and doing his best because it is the best he can do. It helps to eliminate regret, worry, fear, and in their places substitutes determination, grit, and courage. There is always the thing itself, and a picture of the thing. So if the player Pola Negri Sells One Kiss for $10,000 The Portsmouth Colonial theatre will feature as the opener for next week, "The Cheat," starring Pola Negri, Charles De Roche and Jack Holt, the latter being Portsmouth's own boy. The thrilling and fascinating scene portrays Pola Negri auctioning a kiss for $10,000. It is a Paramount picture produced by the famous George Fitzmaurice. In a beautiful scene during a Persian fete given for charity and presided over by Charles De Roche, who has the role of a crook; and parading as a Hindu Prince, the kiss auction is held. De Roche bids $10,000 and wins the coveted osculation and tries to collect. Jack Holt, as the husband of the star in the feature role, appears and threatens to kill the East Indian autocrat. Does the latter get the kiss, or does he not? Of course that question is answered by seeing "The Cheat," which is said to be one of the greatest features with a happy finish of the current season. It will be shown at the Colonial Monday and Tuesday. On Friday at this house William Fox presents, "Lights of New York." The picture tells of the hue of New York night life, and the tragedy of its underworld shadows, in a gripping up-to-the-minute melodrama. For every light on Broadway there is a broken heart. "Around the Town With the Midnight Rounders." is billed for the Portsmouth Colonial. These pictures need no further introduction as they are reputed to be the year's greatest attractions on the screen. wants to attain the honor of being on these teams, he forms a mental conception of it. That is his ideal. But if there were no ideals he might become listless and unconcerned. If he has his ideal he is determined to reach the thing pictured. For as someone once said, "You may never reach your ideal; it may keep floating on and on before you. But the sailor never reaches the north star. Yet without the north star he could never reach port." So in the same way a player may not be chosen, but he has bettered himself by trying. In the same manner it sets a goal to be reached, and to which the player strives to attain. And it is certainly and honor to be won. Who does not desire to be chosen the very best among men of the gridiron? And is that not an honor? Desiring to be chosen on these teams adds another reason why the player develops more connection. He wants to win his varsity berth, he wants to be a representative of his school, and the added reason is that he wants to win his All-American berth. Then, surely, these teams are good things. So let them be chosen each year. However, they should be chosen by someone capable of doing so from all viewpoints. A mere conglomeration of names has no value and does no good. But when authoritatively chosen they are of a great good. N. Y. May Get Colored Boxing Commissioner N. Y. May Get Colored Boxing Commissioner New York,—A. N. P.—Governor Smith, of New York, Democrat and popular here, is reported as interested in naming a Colored American as one of the Boxing Commissioners of the Empire State. This grape vine telegraph information has caused a world of excitement in Lil' Ol' New York. There have been mixed bouts for a long time in the Big Town, and all "gure enough" sports are agreed that a mixed Commission is the "order of the day." In sporting circles a number of names have been suggested for the desirable plum, but none has attracted more attention, or met with more popular favor than the name of William White, manager of the New York office of the Chicago Defender. "Billy" White is a "regular fellow," hard worker, square as a box, and "all wool and a yard wide." He has never before sought political honors; but he has been one of the livest wires in the East in the promotion of clean sport, especially boxing. The Press gang and the sporting crowd are stacking up his record before the live wire executive of the nations great state—Gov. Al Smith. SAY BROTHER I WANT TO BUY A MATTRESS!

FURNITURE Why Not Big League Ball for Norfolk? By WILLEY A. JOHNSON What is the matter with base ball in Norfolk? The old National pastime has been on the down grade since the famed Norfolk All-Stars abandoned the game. All of the old fans can easily remember when Norfolk was the baseball center of Virginia and many other southern cities; but base ball of the late days is an irregular thing now why? That's the question. For the past few years local fans only have the opportunity to witness amateur games. Of course it is well to support the youngsters and give them the necessary encouragement, which will enable them to develop into fast company, but there is not the least doubt that Norfolk fans do want to see some of these under the "Big Top" perform. In fact some of the big timers drift this way at times to show their wares, but what is wanted, is something fans can look forward to every day far a few days in a week. This thing can be put over, but who is the man with back-bone and courage enough to undertake it? Mr. J. M. Harrison, of local football promoting fame has done justice to his home town. He made it possible for Norfolkians to witness major foot-ball games by the leading colleges of the country. In reality he is Norfolk's pioneer promoter. We are forced to take off our hats to him in appreciation of the good things he has done for the sporting phase of this city. A few more men like old "Piggy" and Norfolk will be one of the leading sport centers of the middle Atlantic, possibly of the entire south. The Tidewater Tennis Club is still functioning and is working hard on its extensive program. When birds begin to chirp and leaves begin to struggle, throwing off the heavy blankets of winter denoting that spring is here, the Club, wants to open in full blast. Unless the unseen happens, sur Officers the district happens, success for the Club seems inevitable. Officers of the Tidwater Tennis Club have secured a written permit to use city property as long as the Club feels disposed to do so. The attitude of the city towards our group is heartily appreciated. Work on the courts will be started late in February and first class men will be employed to get the ground in readiness. These courts will be second to none and good enough for "Bill Tilden" himself to do his stuff on. The Club will also put on a membership campaign to swell the body. The maximum membership will be 100. The campaign will get under way as soon as possible. WHAT'S THE USE? There' s so much thinking that's not thinking, So many thoughts that aren't thoughts; There' s so much done that's not doing And so much done for naught. There' s so much sport that's not sport, So many fans that are mild; There are so many games that aren't games And too many things that aren't worth while. There' s too much merit that's not merited, So many of the good that's not good; There are too many trying who aren't trying Who are in the way of those who would. There are so many rulings that aren't rules, So little trueness not true; There' s so little boldness that's not boldness And soldon are new things new NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Amusements There's so little writing worth practicing. readin, So little brightness that's bright.

This is the slogan at Lincoln. With this idea in mind Coach Young, who is also Director of Athletics is organizing basketball and Soccer teams in such a way as to give every man in the University an opportunity to get into the games. The first games of the Intra Mural series were played Thursday, January 10th, between the Freshman "A" team and the Sophomore "EE" team, and the Junior "H" team vs the Senior "L" team. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by the score 20-10. The Sophomores presented a better organized team. Elliott and Reid were the outstanding players. Reid upon entering the game put the pep into a team which had begun to slow up. Elliott ran the floor well but was unsteady on his shots hurrying himself too much. Dribbling, in the main was done at the wrong time. The Freshman team has good material and will win consistently when better organized. King did the starring having most of the work placed upon him. Taylor missed several easy goals which if made might have changed the aspect of the game. His playing was effective at times. As a whole it was a fast hard fought game with possibly a little too much unnecessary roughness on both sides. Henry, Sophomore's guard was disqualified making four personal fouls. THE LINEUP Mann F.

Howard and Hampton Fives Clash Saturday Hampton Institute, Va. Jan. 17—Howard University basketball team meets Hampton here Saturday the 19th for the first time since 1920. These two teams always furnished a thrilling, scientific, and hard fought court battle. The team that represents Howard is reported as being one of her best in many years, while Hampton has her last year's team practically intact, with an additional player, Hargrove, who has proved to be a very valuable and versatile player in the center and forward positions. With McNichols and Jones filling out the forward positions, Gunn and Langston the guard positions, and Hargrove the center position, Hampton presents a team worthy of herself and which promises to be one of the winning combinations of this season. Howard's team is built around Wheatland, one time Lincoln star, and a number of other excellent players. Both teams boast of an extra good set of second string men who always give a good account of themselves in a game. Hamptonians and Howardites from this section are expected to be out in large numbers to witness this first big intercollegiate game of the season. One preliminary will be played during halves. Morehouse Five Smothers Morris Brown, 58-18 BY L. SLATER BAYNES Atlanta, Ga.,—The Morehouse quintet swept to a 58-15 victory over the Morris Brown basketeers. Morris Brown's guards were unable to stop the uncanny shooting of Coach Harvey's men. The Morehouse offense started early, and at half time the score was 28-21. The maroon and white showed better floor work than in any previous game. The forwards were very shifty and accurate shooters. In the second half the Morris Brown men played defensively, but the Clark-Gayles combination was too much for them. Traylor was PROTECTED BY THE KELLEY N. P. SERVICE the individual star, hooping 9 field baskets and two free throws. Captain Gayles played an unusually hard game, annexing twelve points. Capt, Lee of Morris Brown was the high point man for his team making 4 baskets and one free throw. Word was the best all-round player for Morris Brown. A preliminary game was played between the Sohmomores and Juniors of Morehouse College. The Sophomores won a hard fast-fought game to the score of 10-9.

Wills Not To Get Bout With Dempsey (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) New York, Jan. 17—The Mills of the Gods, slowly grinding out the sport program for 1024 inside the roped arena, are apparently overlooking Harry Wills, the "Brown Panther of New Orleans," whom many say has been ready for picking long enough, and must soon get his crack at the heavyweight title. According to Tex Rickard, demon promoter, who practically holds the destinies of heavyweight fighters of any prominence in the palm of his gold-crossed hand, Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons will hold the limelight in the first of the big outdoor fights and then Firpo, the "Wild Bull of the Pampas," will be brought back and shoved forth for another slaughter. Rickard states that Gibbons will meet Dempsey in the spring, and that the bout with Firpo will take place in the fall. So that automatically leaves Wills out of it. Wills, who has been challenging Dempsey for the last three years, has ceased to figure in Rickard's plans, unless he agrees to meet Firpo, who, according to Tex, has repeatedly signified his desire to box Wills. There seems little likelihood that Paddy Mullins, manager of Will, would consent to such a match. Rickard has intimated that he would be prepared to guarantee the winner of a Wills-Firpo contest a match with Dempsey for the heavyweight title. He believes that a match bringing Wills and Firpo together would be a popular one with the public. ST WANTA ON THAT PLAN! From the way things look from this neck of the woods, Wills is in no position to dictate. He has everything to gain now and nothing to lose. A stubborn attitude on the part of his manager, is just likely to forever keep him from realizing his greatest ambition. Wills, if he believes in himself and his ability to fight his way to the championship, should meet any and all comers. The more the merrier, Wills has done very little fighting in the last two years, and he should welcome a chance to meet some of the tougher opponents, inasmuch as he must have some time to condition himself. And these bouts should be more appreciated, when he knows that they are mere stepping stones toward his ultimate goal—a bout with Dempsey. Wills should meet Firpo, Gibbons, Taylor and any of the rest who feel themselves worthy. He'll force the issue then, and before 1924 fades into the dim beyond, the jeweled seepter which crowns the heavy-weight champion may change hands.

J. L. TYNES, President W. H. EDDIE, Secretary MULLINS INSISTS THAT TERMS BE ON PERCENTAGE BASIS MULLINS INSISTS THAT TERMS BE ON PERCENTAGE BASIS New York, N. Y.-Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, and challenger for the heavy-weight crown now worn by Jack Dempsey, has refused thru his manager, Paddy Mullins, an offer from Tex Rickard for $800,000 for two bouts in the boxing arena, it was announced here this week. The fact that Mullins declined this offer was divulged when Rickard announced the proposal he had made to Mullins in a conference held Friday afternoon in the Prince George Hotel, and Mullins made known the fact that he had rejected "a guarantee offered by Rickard for two bouts for Wills. Negotiations for Wills's services still are being carried on, however, Rickard plans to conduct a bout between Wills and Luis Angel Firpo some time in July, with the understanding that the winner of this match will meet Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, in a bout in September. Both bouts, according to present plans, would be held at the Polo Grounds. Mullins and Rickard are expected to confer again this week in an effort to reach an understanding MARK COUNTER PROPOSAL According to developments Rickan and the Prince George Hotel conference at the University present, offered Mullins $100,000 as Wills's end of a bout against Firpo, and a contract providing that Wills would receive $200,000 for a bout against Dempsey if the former succeeded in beating Firpo. Mullins said that he had declined this proposition and insisted $0_n accepting both bouts for Wills on a percentage basis. This counterproposal was proposed to Rickand, and the negotiations were temporarily halted with the understanding that manager and promoter would meet again within a week. Harry Blaufuss and Babe Cullen Newark promoters, who operate in the11th Infantry Regiment Armory and the Dreamland Park, Newark, under the incorporated name of the National Sportsmen's Club entered the folding for the inviting. The newark promoters at a conference with Mullins in the latter's headquarters at the Pioneer A. C., offered $100,000 for Wills to box Tom Gibbons, St. Paul light- heavyweight, in a twelve-round bout contemplated for May 1, at Dreamland Park. Blaufuss and Cullen asserted they were prepared to make a similar offer to Gibbons. Mullins took a proposes to win a Mullins announced that he had under consideration a similar offer of a guarantee for Wills to box Firpo at Dreamland Park on July 4, for Blaufuss and Cullen. WANTS IRONCLAD GUARANTEE In announcing his rejection of Rickard's offer, Mullins emphasized the fact that he was desirous of arranging a Wills-Firp bout on a percentage basis and added further that he wanted an ironclad guarantee that if Wills hattered the South American into submission he would be assured of a bout with Dempsey for the title against danger of official interference. "Wills is ready to box Firp any time or any place in the United States," said Mullins. told Rickard we were ready when I talked with him yesterday.

"The Dempsey bout is our particular objective. I want this for Wills above all else. If he must fight Firpo first, that match will be arranged, whether it is for a guarantee or a percentage. Either arrangement will be acceptable to Harry, if we have assurances that there will be no official interference with a bout between Harry and Dempsey. "I intend to see Rickard again next week.

The association refused to pay, and under restraining order secured by attorney Bell the advertised sale of the property was enjoined until a final hearing of the case in Superior Court. January 11, the case was called and attorneys for both sides fought a strenuous legal battle. Under the able presentation of the plaintiff's side, by attorney Bell the issues were answered in their favor. The jury in this case has received the commendation of the colored people of this section for its absolutely impartial review of the case, and the presiding judge has also been commended for such an equitable charge to the jury.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "SPIRIT" OF NORFOLK MISSION IS REVIVED Former Graduates, Friends And Admirers Meet And Plan For Memorial. The spirit of old Norfolk Mission College was revived last Sunday morning at the United Presbyterian Church, when local graduates, former friends and admirers met in reunion expressly for the purpose of organizing a permanent and active Alumni Association, to formulate plans for establishing memorial to the valiant band of white missionary teachers who came from the North and sacrificed several years here in the interest of Negro education. The reunion brought together a large crowd that manifested keen interest in the plans and purposes of the meeting. Req. F.W. White pastor, missionary, which during the days of Norfolk Mission College, was devoted to the worship of students patrons and friends, preached the reunion sermon. Dr. white chose an appropriate text, speaking from the subject "Monument," as portrayed by the Book of Joshua, which the Book of Joshua, was a striking sermon, highly edifying and into the spirit of the occasion. Other features of the program were solos by Mr. Lawrence Harrison, Mr. William Robinson, Miss Lena Nicholson, and Mrs. King, Reavis.

Mixed Bouts To Be Held in Pennsylvania (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 17-The State athletic commission, in an opinion handed down by Attorney General George Woodruff Tuesday was advised to rescind "absolutely its rule against" "mixed bouts" and if desired, to substitute"for its general rule" "to prevent disorder riots brutality and the like." The opinion was in the form of a letter to William R. Rocap, Philadelphia, chairman of the commission. It was furnished as a result of differences which aros₆ among members of the commission over a ruling last month refusing approval for boxing bouts between white and Negro jugists. The differences were disclosed in a statement by Charles Freed White_e of Philadelphia, Negro member of the commission, who protested that Chairman Rocap had made the ruling without the knowledge of any meeting at which it would have been agreed upon. The chairman contended that the decision had been reached by a majority of the commission, Havey J. Boyle of Pittsburgh, the third member of the commission, having given his vote against mixed houts by telephone. Alpha Phi Alpha Convention Called History Make Columbus, Ohio.—"History in the Making" was the popular characterization of the 16th Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity just closing here today, December 31st, 1923, where more than 400 college men met in a large number of institutions gathered to discuss means by which the problem in Negro racial life may be met. Negro college men from all sections of the country were present at the convention, the sections represented stretching from Massachusetts on the New England Coast to California on the coast and from Minnesota to Georgia. Perhaps the outstanding legislation of the convention was the adopting resolutions to send a communication to President Coolidge recommending the release of the remaining members of the 25th Infantry now incarcerated in Lennoxworth, and to make a decision to advance the legislation for Advancement of Colored People to aid in its campaign for the passage of the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill now before the Congress of the United States. The opening session of the con- ference was held on Thursday afternoon, December 27th, at the Spring St. Y. M. C. A., with over four hundred delegates from the various colleges and universities through on the United States in attendance to the direction its national officers. On Sunday, December 30th, the full convention delegation made a pilgrimage to the home of Paul Laurence Dunbar at Dayton, Ohio. The program conducted at the home included a welcome address by O. O. Morris, President of Theta-Lamia Chapter of the local location of the convention dress by Raymond W. Cannon, 2nd Vice Pres, and a response in the form of an acceptance of a bunch of beautiful flowers' given by the Fraternity by Mrs. Matilda J. Dunbar, mother of the poet. From the home, the delegation was conveyed to Woodlawn Cemetery to Dunbar's grave where a most beautiful flower, including a tribute to Dunbar's contribution to literature by Dr. J. A. Gregg, President of Wilberforce University; a reading of "When Alas is Done," one of the poet's compositions, by Miss Edna Browne, and a tribute by E. S. Booker General President of the Alpha Phi Alpha. Following the meeting, the delegation was conveyed to Memorial Hall, Dayton, to be banqueted. The Final Session of the Fraternity was held Monday at which time after the delegates listened to the report of the Director of the "Go to High School, Go to College," drive which showed that more than three million children and parents had been reeamed and influenced to go further, the movement authorized that the movement be continued and promoted even more vigorously during 1924. Constructive plans were outlined with reference to the conduct of the Fraternities program for the year 1924. At the end of the session the following officers were elected: Raymond W. Cannon, President, Raymond P. Alexander, 1st Vice President; Jasw M. McGregor, 2nd Vice President; Norman L. McGhoe, Secretary; Homer Cooper Treasurer; and Oscar ^c C. Brown Editor of the Sphinx. Following the election of officers of the Fraternity a spirited contest was entered into for election of meeting place in 1924. The convention was bessied with invitations from all sections including Atlanta, New York City, Cincinnati, Detroit, and other cities. After a hotly contested fight conducted by the Atlanta delegation it was finally conceded to New York by about three votes.

RICHARDSON'S AND ISRAEL'S REVIEW Willet is a sterling back-up man, he is a good plunger, a fair general, and a good end runner, Cardwell of West Virginia, and Hurd of Wilberforce deserve the halves. Hurd is a noted punter. One of the best that we have, and one of the best that he has and sturdy. He punts long and plenty high, and can plunge the line. Cardwell of West Virginia selected as running mate for Hurd is a heavy line charger, and is hard to stop around end or running broken field. He can stave his passes sure and hard. Sammie Peyton, former North Western star, and Howard's fullback gets fullback. Peyton is always good for a gain when he carries the oval; he is a consistent; but due to the fact that his attention was centered on medicine and away from the spicer his position, he calls. However on the whole Sam has played a wonderful game, and merits his position. Lawyer Wilhams of St. Paul generalizes the third army. He is sturdy alert, a good kicker, and a splendid dasher. Conte of Howard, and Boffman of Union gobble up the backs on the third round. Conte is a fast and keen player; he is good for short gains, and one of the best defensive bucks in the country. Boffman is the best for this season, both on the offense and defense. He is a hard line charger and consistent off tackle gainer. Parker of St. Paul gets fullback. Parker is a very troublesome man; he is hard to tackle and to hold. He is a swift line bucker, and a forward passer. It was his work that troubled Lincoln. Nearly all of the big elevens have been seen in action by Mr. Israel, Richardson and other representatives and thus careful scrutinization the teams have been selected. It is the intention of the Student Federation to assist our leading sports writers who have had a good bit of experience in this type of work.

Offers have been made to Flynn for the match with Flowers from all parts of the country, but all have been refused, so it can't be that Gans doesn't want to make the trip south. It will be remembered that Flowers gave Gans the licking of his life in a no-decision match in Toledo last spring and after that fight Gans admitted that he wanted no more of Flowers.

Collins BY Minnie Wallace Robbins Philadelphia, Pa. Accomac and Northampton Co. have lost one of their ablest men. Rev. Collins was educated at the Virginia Normal and Institute in College, College, Ohio. Here he met and mar- ried Miss Ida Young, one of the sweetest girls in Ohring. The happy couple came to Northamton Co. Va., the home of Rev Collins, and here they have worked and toiled among his people. Fitted both by nature and education to fill a city charge, Rev Collins preferred to toil among his people and lift them to a higher plane. The glitter of the lime light did not move them. "He was content to bloom in his native bower." He poured the sweetness of his life over the doorill of his native people. He was loving, patient, and kind. He was never so happy as when he was helping some one. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved widow and family. To his church and friends his work is done. His master has called him home. Sleep and take the rest. Thou hast given earth thy best. WANTED!

Mr. Louis Rouleau, of Washington is the architect. Presidents of colored auxiliaries of the Cardinal Gibbons institute met in Washington, D. C., at the office of the Board of Trustees, or December 30, to report on activities and plan for future work The presiding officer was Mr. William Prater( president of the Federated Colored Catholics of Washington and Vicinity. Delegates were present representing Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Annapolis, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Columbus, Boston, New York and Atlantic City. Meeting also with these delegates were the presidents of the colord commanderies of the Knights of St. John under the leadership of Mr. Daniel Spriggs, Grand President of the Baltimore Grand Commandery, and of the Ladies Auxiliaries of the Knights of St. John. Miss Caroline Cook, chairman of the Baltimore Committee, in submitting her report, turned over to the treasurer a check for $600, which makes a total contribution from the Baltimore Committee of approximately $1,000. The St. Mary's County Committee, Mr. Ignatius Thomas, Bushwood, Md., chairman, and co-operating independent organizations, have collected approximately $450. Charles County Committee headed by Mr. William Wade, of Hughesville, Md., have collected to date approximately $300. Mr. W. P.

Glimpsed Glimpsed Along the Way late, if indeed, it is not already too late. Some how, some one told it that Aleck knew something about helping people to get pensions. We don't know just how such misinformation got out. We have never studied law and don't pretend to know anything about it. An aged lady met us last week and asked us to help her get a pension on account of the death of her son who was killed in the Spanish-American War. We informed her that we knew nothing about pensions nor the first thing to do toward getting them. She insisted that we try, asking couldn't we at least write a letter for her. We consented that we probably could do that much. She left us her address and the number of her claim with the admonition that we get it at once, because she needs the money. Umph, we don't know just what to do for this lady, as she is sure to come back for the money next week, and are just a sure that not to have it. This is a little trouble that Aleck is going to unload on friend "Piggy" Harrison. We have seen him in this kind of trouble before. We were crossing the Norfolk-Portsmouth ferry Sunday, and while waiting for the boat we decided to have a smoke. We walked over to the confectionery stand in the colored waiting room and asked for cigars. "No cigars" said the proprietor. "Cigarettes," we said. "No cigarettes," he answered. Well, we will take a few puffs on the---pipe, we thought. "A package --- Baltimore, Md.-The architect's plans for the first building of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a Catholic University to be devoted to the education of Negro youth as a memorial to the late Cardinal, were approved by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees at a recent meeting, Admiral William S. Benson, chairman, presiding. The building will be a two-story structure, 72 by 42 feet in size, with a basement over ground floor. The university will be located in this city. In general type the building is colonial. It will be constructed of 12 by 24 inch cement blocks tooled and with joints pointed. The roof will be of red asbestos shingles. The floors will be cement, making a fire-proof building. The ground floor will be divided into six class-rooms and offices. The basement will contain a kitchen, dining room, and laundry. The second floor will be used for the first year as a dormitory for boys with four corner rooms for toilets, bathroom, and private room for two instructors. The plans call for stairways at both ends. Later this second story will be used for an assembly hall when new dormitories for boys are built, and the basement will be used for classrooms when the culinary department has a building for its own. The present farm house, which is in excellent condition, will be used for quarters for the principal of the school. St. Peter Claver Church and Hall on property adjacent to the Cardinal Gibbons Institute make it unnecessary to provide a separate chapel or auditorium at the present time. These buildings will be built from blocks made on the property where excellent sand and gravel has been found. They will be placed on a high level twenty-acre lot on the northwest end of the property over-looking on the south the level 200-acre farm, and beyond, Smith's Creek and the Potomac River with the Virginia shore on the other side eight miles in the distance. Ground plans for future buildings were also approved by the Executive Committee. The buildings have their site already determined upon, and in architectu- (ALEX J. SMART) Something unusual: We were walking up Church St., one night this week going South when we chanced to pass three young ladies strolling along arm in arm. When we had passed them for about eight feet we overhaerd one young woman say, "It will do your soul more harm than good." We slowed up our steps, as we wanted to make sure that our ears were not fooling us. We listened intently for the next words, and behold these young women were deeply engaged in a conversation on religious and moral uplift subjects. We stopped so they would pass us. We wanted to make sure whether they were really young women or old maids. And really they were three charming young women, almost girls. Of course, we know that young women engage in such conversations in club meetings and forums, but who ever thought a young lady talked of anything when out for a stroll except the latest fashions in clothes, the young men, other young women and such chatter. Believe me, we were pleasantly surprised. Things are coming to a sorry pass when teen age boys appear in court in a mixup in a bootleg whiskey case. The parents or guardians of the Church street bootblack boy who was involved in such a case last week, which caused his appearance, first in Police Court, then in Juvenile Court, had better take things concerning this youth in their own hands, before it is too Norfolk Journal and Guide ABLE EDUCATOR WILL SPEAK ON FOUNDER'S DAY Life and Work of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, Principal of Hampton from 1893 to 1917 Will Be Reviewed. Hampton, Va., Jan. 13—Dr. Joseph Dupuy Eggleston, president of Hampden-Sidney College since 1919 who was State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Virginia from 1906 to 1914, according to an announcement by Principal J. E. Gregg, will deliver the Founder's Day address in Memorial Church, Hampton Institute, on Sunday morning, January 27. President Eggleston will review Hollis B. Frissell, who succeeded the life and work of the late Dr. Gen, Samuel Chapman Armstrong as principal in 1893 and remained as Hampton's principal until his death in August, 1917. General Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868, has been honored year by year at the Founder's Day services. This year special attention will be directed to Doctor Frissell, "The Builder as he has been characterized by Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard. President Eggleston served side by side with Doctor Frissell and a large company of distinguished men and women of Virginia in campaigning for better educational opportunities for all the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Between Doctor Frissell and President Eggleston there was a warm personal friendship. No man in the South is better qualified to speak of Doctor Frissell and his contribution to the educational progress of Virginia and the South than President Eggleston. BALTIMORE, MD.

"No tobacco," was the rejoinder. And yet all of this was advertised for sale at this stand with large placards. Among women's fashions we hardly get over, one shock before we are downed with another. Last year and year before we had the knee-skirts, that at first shocked some of us, and amused the most of us. The sweep-skirt supplanted the knee-skirt, but just the same, somebody designed the sweet little delicate ladies garter to be worn a few inches below the knee. This garter was made to be seen, and that's a fact. Never was it fashioned so fancy and delicately attractive to be kept permanently out of sight. And the Norfolk girls know just what it was made for; keep one eye slant in a crowd of fashionable dressed young women and behold that little garter will make you swoon when Milady takes her seat. Attorney J. Eugene Diggs is an able lawyer, and we know it. Seldom do we see Diggs non-plussed, but last Monday morning after pleading his best for the acquittal of a group of defendants he was representing in Police Court and winning his case, the defendants broke out into a boiterous laugh and were called back and fined five dollars each for contempt of court, it was then attorney Diggs stood perfectly still with both hands shoved down in his overcoat pockets, stared at the men and "never said a mumbling world." The lawyer thorny disgusted. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 Colorful News Movies By the Cameraman PRESTON NEWS SERVICE A. & T. College Sends Representation To Student Conference Greensboro, N. C.—January 14. In response to the call of the International Committee, A. & T. College, in keeping with her progressive spirit, sent four delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention, which assembled in Indianapolis, Indiana from December 28, 1923 to January 2, 1924. Professor D. K. Cherry of the College faculty, and Messrs. E. L. Harrison, C. A. Harris, and C. Williams of the student body comprised the A. & T. delegation.

On Sunday afternoon at 3:00 the faculty and student body had the pleasure of hearing from the delegates who gave their views and impressions of the conference. Mr. Harrison, the first speaker, delivered a very illuminating account of the spirit of the conference and the reactions of the leaders on the great question of religion. Mr. Williams, who followed, discussed the question of war, as presented to the conference. The third speaker, Mr. Harris, summed up the events of the trip and discussed the reaction of the conference on the race question which, according to the speaker, demanded more attention than any other subject presented. Professor Cherry concluded the report by a general summary of events, touching the copies as presented by the preceding speakers. The reports of the delegates were interspersed with delightful music rendered by the College quartet and the student body. At the conclusion of the program, President Dudley made voluntary remarks in which he complimented the young men on the thoroughness of their reports; called influences set in motion by the conference. He concluded his remarks by urging that ways and means be devised where by the A. & T. College may be able to send a large representation to the King's Mountain Conference. The most exciting and hilarious event of the year was realized in the presentation of the "stunt night" program at the College on Friday evening, January 4, 1924. Grotesque impersonations and side-splitting creations and novelties made the occasion one of unquestionable success. Mrs. Campbell, the matron, is to be highly complimented upon the unique arrangement of this affair; while the enthusiastic participants deserve great credit for their throughness and originality. A. & T.'S NEW POWER PLANT The new power plant was turned over to the Board of Trustees of the College by the extractor January 7, 1924.

The Great Northwest. 2. An International Triangle 3. Between Reels. The early cry of "white farms only" for states of the great Northwestern and the Pacific Coast, which are apparently facing a decrease of actual farm units, is certainly not justified by farm precedents, so far as the "brethern" are concerned, a goodly number of whom are operating millions of dollars worth of farm property throughout those sections. Without going into figured details as to the value of farm implements and machin- THE AGRICULTURAL AND J. C. Hyman, Reporter. ery, acreage, numerical increase of farmers, production, and dozen other pertinent enlightening truths concerning the colored farmers' holdings and operations in states other than those of the South, it is a commendable fact that colored farmers have carried their farming knowledge into practically every state west of the Mississippi River. Even Washington, at the extreme northwestern, section of the country, boasts of its successful colored farmers, who have increased in number and production units since the last census. Colonization, unless voluntary, forms no part of America's theoretical creed, but where it is a self-motivated result of a people's inclination, then there is not just cause for a scare on the part of a 'any loyal American; and there is no reason for "black-balling" a man who would joyously work out his own economic salvation in this great country of ours. A scientifically-trained farmer is as valuable an asset to a community as a physician or druggist. He should be encouraged to display his wares in the market place of public needs, rather than be told to busy his talent in the sands of abnegation. Some one has said that America is for America. We say if you are not willing to prove it, please don't try to disprove it. A little Japanese girl and a little colored girl, each of whom was ten years old, were next-door neighbors. They were inseparable playmates and seemed to hold each other in fond affection. The little Japanese girl said she loved the little colored girl, and the little colored girl said she loved the little Japanese girl. Their daily separation began in the morning, when each departed for school, the former going to a white school and the latter to a colored school. One evening the little Japanese girl came home in tears and sought her little colored playmate. Throwing her arms around the little brown-skinned neck, she said, amid her tears: "I love you." "And I love you," responded the one of African descent. "My teacher made me mad today," the Oriental continued. "How?" "Well, she has seen me playing with you and she told me if I didn't stop, she'd have me transferred to a colored school and I don't want to go to a colored school," she sadly concluded. And I remember of another teacher telling me, when I was a kiddie "Suffer the little children to come unto Me and for bid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Now that residential segregation is again being proposed for Baltimore, we wonder if the colored Democrats of Monumental City are continuing to congratulate themselves over the aid and comfort bestowed upon their friends, the enemy, in the last elections. From Ohio factory managers comes the encouraging news that 1924 is expected to be a splendid business year. Considering the large number of colored workers employed by Ohio industries, the prediction augurs well for the brethern, both North and South. The commission of distinguished colored men, now enroute to the Virgin Islands to investigate health and economic conditions, will have performed an admirable task in bringing back to the U. S. A., facts and figures of interest and value. Both the Virgin Island and the United States are to be congratulated. REVIEW and COMMENT SOUTH DECRIES THE UNWRITTEN LAWOFMARLOW Influential Journals Voice Strong Condemnation Against Outrage Perpetrated In Oklahoma. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Northern and southern white newspapers have joined the chorus of those protesting against Marlow, Oklahoma's unwritten law which forbade a Negro to let the sun go down on him in the town and resulted in the murder of a white hotel proprietor who had hired a Negro porter and the death of the porter. Some of the most outspoken papers are of the South. The New Orlenas States has the following to say: "The crime of these men (the white murderers) was an outrage, as also is the unwritten law which bars Negroes out of Marlow. The State of Oklahoma has had a great deal of undesirable noteriety lately. It will have more from this affair unless it punishes the gang responsible for these murders and wipes out this barbarous unwritten law. At a time when the South is trying to persuade the Negro to remain here it is deeply to be regretted that the attention of the whole country should be attracted to such cruel racial hostility as prevails in what is considered a southern state. INDIAN LEADER FAVORS FEDERATION OF ASIATICS Poona, India.-The Indian National Liberal Congress after a livey debate, by a vote of 775 to 205, has accepted the Indian national compact calling for a federation of the Asiatic peoples "for the emancipation of Asia." The resolution stressed the necessity of co-operation between all sections of the Indian people, and co-ordination with the other Asiatic peoples in the cause of liberation of Asia from alien political and economic control. BY WILLIAM BRITTON The Committee on Judiciary of the House of Representatives has reported favorably House Bill No. 1, known as the Anti-lynching measure. The bill will be championed in the House by Congressman Dyer, who introduced it at the last Congress. Mr. Dyer has toured the North and West filling speaking engagements in favor of this measure since the Congress of last year. A great amount of sentiment has been created in support of some law designed to prevent lynching by recent lawlessness manifested in various sections of the country, which the states have exhibited an impotence to deal with. That the bill will again meet the bitter opposition of Southern legislators is without question. Representative A. J. Montague of Virginia has stated that opposition to the bill will be based on its alleged unconstitutionality and the unfairness of its provisions. "The principal objection to the bill," said Mr. Montague. "is the imposition of heavy fines on any counties where a lynching occurs, which would be borne by entire communities without regard to who the guilty parties are. "The second objection to the bill is its unconstitutionality. Lynching is murder, and no one deplores it more than I do, but murder is a crime that lies within the province of the state to punish." Hon. Moorefield Story of Boston, a lawyer of national repute submitted a strong brief last year on the constitutionality of the provisions of the bill and ably defended it from this view point. It is indeed strange reasoning that denies to the federal government the legal right to pass laws to protect the life of its citizens when it is plain that there is no disposition of the states to do so.

WHERE SHALL JIM CROW LIVE? By W. O. SAUNDER In Colliers, The National Weekly Out of nearly two score years' association with the Negro in the South, out of all my observations and study of the Negro, I am compelled to believe that the solution of his problem in America rests largely with his own leaders. Given a free hand to work out his own destiny, I believe the Negro is eager to establish his racial personality, to live by himself, to create an art, a literature, a music and a social life of his own independent of the white man, and forever respectfully recognize the barrier of color. If there is such a thing as a Negro desire for social equality, I cannot find it. The Negro likes his kind and would feel no more at home among white folks than white folks would feel at home among Negroes. I addressed an inquiry to three hundred Negro school-teachers asking them to tell me their wants. I supplied them with self-addressed envelopes and stipulated that no names should be signed to the communications addressed to me. I wanted them to feel free to tell me the truth. Not one expressed a desire for social equality. The sum of their wants was a desire for equal educational opportunities justice before the law, fair wages, lights, water, sewerage, police and fire protection in their part of the town. One writer said: "No segregation laws would be necessary anywhere if colored people could rent decent homes with lights, water, sewerage, and police protection in their section of the town the that Hiram Johnson, of California, will never have his insatiable desire to be President of these United States granted. There are many reasons why Senator Johnson is objectionable to the voter so America that take into consideration profound subjects of political economy, but the Independent advances one that touches the moral conscience of the electorate, something that never parades itself, but seldom ever sleeps. And there is a powerful truth uttered in this journal's comment. "The people are afraid of a soul that hates, and Mr. Johnson has oftimes confessed his contempt for a part of the human family. A man who hates any part of the human family hates the whole family. The man who hates a Jap or a Chinese today may hate a Jew or Negro tomorrow; and mankind has no surety against the fate of such a man hating all men the next day. "The President of the United States ought to be a man that the people believe loves humanity, for the reason man cannot serve best a cause or a people he does not love. No service is well done that does not serve every human being—and any service that refuses to help any part of the human family, because of its color or previous condition of servitude, is only half done. Love is the fulfillment of both the human and Divine laws, and any man's heart that is not big enough to love mankind into a lasting peace and a common brotherhood is too little to be President of the United States—and the people will hardly elect a man who has failed humanity." * * * * * * same as in the white residential section." I have found proof of this in many Southern towns and cities where the races have made happy adjustments and are living amicably side by side. The town of Durham in my own State of North Carolina is an example. There has been no migratory movement from Durham, and here is the reason as given by C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Mr. Spaulding is a Negro, and his company is a Negro company that has built up a great business, occupying its own seven-story modern office building in that city. Killing "Colorphobia" Mr. Spaulding sums up the four principal reasons why the spirit of migration has not touched the Negro citizens of Durham, as follows: "(1) Economic opportunities offered to a large enough percentage of the population to assure a decent livelihood. "(2) Healthful and pleasant working conditions. "(3) The spirit of cooperation created by Negro caterprises, which has aided thousands to secure comfortable houses. "(4) 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, and colored men are given an honest hearing in courts." The Town Without a White Man (Continued From Page 9.) Louis Argus, and asks in the following pertinent comment: "We wonder has,Mr. Adams called the Attorney General's attention to this condition, or has he called the President's attention to this gross violation of the Federal laws on the part of the Southern States? Surely the Congress of the United States knows of these things. A Republican Congress has been in power almost continually during the past forty years, and wonder has it just found out that the South is being run on the "Shot-gun Policy?" Let it be as it may affecting the past, we are now deeply concerned about the future. The head of the Republican party has made the startling admission that the government has miserably failed to do its duty, in that it has allowed the South to violate the spirit and letter of the Constitution. It goes without saying that the Federal government has power to correct this evil. So the question now is, will the present Congress take steps to remedy this condition? Will the President, as Chief Executive of the Nation take action through his Attorney General? Will Chairman Adams, who through some hook or crook, made the startling admission, have the courage to call upon his party leaders to act? Surely he owes it to the public to do so." The colored people of America join the St. Louis Argus in these queries. Politically speaking, events have been expeditiously shifting from one degree of grace to another in regards to the Negro in the past few months. Astute politicians in the Republican party realize that the dove of peace is not nestling among the race voters, and that concessions must be made that carry with them a respect of manhood and citizenship rights, instead of political plums, before it is too late. Maybe, there will be something coming out of the Republican party that will more nearly approach an answer, to the Argus' queries in the future than we have witnessed in the past.

We believe Prof. Hudson has not ily met and found satisfactory nditions for the tentnt, but equal- ty as satisfactory conditions for the landlord. And so far as the intry’s citizenship, economic de- lopment and educational _pro- 85 are concerned, if his plan is Into execution, it will be one the greatest contributions to our imerican Citizenship, particularly among the farming classes, that asgvet been made.

Sergt. George Holland, president fof the local Emancipation Asso- ciation served as master of cere- monies, He stated that it is the purpose of this assoeiation to keep alive the story of the sacrifices etic ave made possible the op- portunities of the present-day Negro. He also stated that Ne- groes are everywhere taking ad- vantage of the opportunities which are offered them, . He introdueed Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton In- ‘stitute, who declared that the eman cipation was more than a political event, “Emancipation,” he said, has ‘meant a freedom of citizenship, d- liverance from ignorance, religious freedom, and a freedom of heart, mind, and soul, as well as of body.” The Rev. J. A, Brown, pastor ‘of the Queen Street Baptist Church Hampton, who was the orator of the day, spoke on “Negro Emanci- pation: A Law of God.” He stated that emancipation of the mind is always an essential and that igno- rance, fear, and superstition must ‘be wiped out by education. After outlining the record of the Negro as a soldier, both in colonial ‘and in madern times, he stated that the Negro taday only asks a man's chance. He gave the government statistics on Negro ownership of land and homes. ‘He also stated that in 1922 Ne- groes owned 74 banks which had a capital of $6,250,000; resources of 320,000,000, and an annual business ct $10,000,000. In 1922 Negroes ‘owned 45,00 churches, which were fratuad at $7,000,000 and wich leave to foreign missions annually Hampton Seniots “ Unveil Motte: Hampton, Va., Jan. 15—“An ef: ficient life based on high thoughts, Jand noble deeds" is the motto which hhas been adopted by the Hampton, Institute senior class. This motto was dedicated on Emancipation Day with appropriative exercises, which were held in Ogden Hall. Herbert Hardwick of Savannah, Ga., pres- ident for several years of the 1924 ‘elas, declared that altruistic think- ing leads people from the stage swhere, the individual predominates to the stage where the good of the group is the important factor. He stated that real nobleness is shown by men and women through their daily kindness to others. The program included the singing of the senior class song and the planting of a mimosa as a class tree. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal lof Hampton Institute, declared that high thoughts and noble deeds be- ‘come impossible, unless individuals are impelled onward and upward from within. “Honor courage, faith ‘and turstworthiness,” he said, “should beautify efficiency.” $150,000 and to home missions $250,000. He stated that Negroes ‘must work for the abolition of il- literarcy and the cultivation of greater race pride, confidence, love and unity. ‘The program also icluded selee- tions by the Progressive Musical Club; selections from William Stills book on the underground railway; Dunbar’s poem on “Soldiers of the Givi) War;" reading of the Eman- cipation Proclamation; address on “Nogro Home Improvement;” invo- cation; ani benediction. “Try Guide Want “ads” for profiiable results.

In a Jackson Day letter Former President Wilson says he will be glad to take part with other Democrats in "the redemption of the Nation from the degradation of purpose into which it has in recent days been drawn." Mr. Wilson is not only an invalid, he is a dreamer of dreams. It will be many years before another Democrat places his feet under the White House mahogany. Sun Yat Sen, the American Chinese President of South China, predicts a combination of the off-color races, with Russia and Germany, which in ten years will teach their Nordic imperialist oppressors a lesson, insofar that "Americans may then know how it feels to have a powerful Chinese fleet in San Francisco harbor." There are plenty of Americans who foolishly think that Sun Yat Sen was only "talking through his hat," but it may turn out that he was doing nothing of the sort. What then? In a letter addressed to Cleveland G. Allen, one of our journalists of New York, to be read at an Emancipation celebration, recently in New York, President Coolidge said, among other things: "Measured by their material achievement in the acquisition of property and substance, or by their advance in education and equipment for the full duties of citizenship, or by their participation in the great task of building and defending the Nation of which they are a part of the colored people of the United States have made a record which they may well regard with profound satisfaction and the utmost gratitude." That, we ragard as a very handsome thing for the President to say. Southern Praise for Roland Hayes In his recent appearances in New York City the musical authorities of the greatest newspapers in the country gave Roland Hayes such praise for his fine mastery of his art as we do not remember them to have given any white artist of the same class. Heywood Broun of the New York World, one of the most outstanding journalists of the day says: "For that matter, I saw a miracle in Town Hall. Half of the people who heard Hayes were black and half were white and while the mood of the song held they were all the same. They shared together the close silence. One emotion wrapped them. And as a result it was a single sob. "He never trembled, trembling word," sang Hayes and wren that he spoke of Christ, whose voice was clear enough to cross all the seas of water and of blood. That is some tribute to genius. Again, Mr. Broun says: "Literally, there can be no quarrel with a 'Negro singer.' Mr. Hayes makes one of the favorite devices of us Nordics quite impossible. It is customary to say that when races mingle, all the worst in each strain comes out and yet when any Negro of note appears the comment is made. "Oh, of course, it's his white blood which accounts for his ability." Roland Hayes is very dark, bronze indeed, and his hair clings tight upon his head. No Nordic credits can be allowed in this case. This manifestation of genius belongs to Hayes and, to his own people." Mr. Hayes recently appeared in song recital at Macauley's theatre, in Louisville, and every seat was taken. The musical writer of the Louisville Courier-Journal gave Mr. Hayes all the fun deal that was coming to him, saying, "there was, naturally, a personal element involved in this welcome of the singer to his former home," but it was such "as might have been accorded anywhere to so genuine an artist." That is some praise coming from the paper made famous by Henry Watterson, "the noblest Southern journalist of them all." But he went further. He said: "For it is artistic satisfaction, that all things, which is provided by a Roland Hayes recital. His tenor is at all times sympathetic and satisfying in quality because he knows how to make it so, and not because it is one of those great voices that Editorial Page of Norfolk Journal and Guide Saturday, January 19, 1924 needs only to be poured out upon space to bring its owner fame. It had beauty as an origin, of course, even before it was cultivated, but that which has brought, so great a degree of success and recognition is not voice, nor vocalization, but art. "To be an artist in imitation, he takes the case of a singer, his ability to enter so thoroughly, the music as to cause the audience to forget, at least momentarily, the singer in the song. It is perhaps the greatest of Roland Hayes' triumphs that he is able to do this. Not that he subordinates at all times his personality, or even his race; on the contrary, he makes definite use of them. But he has reached the rank of a creative singer through a vehicle, but music is the voice, vehicle, with the mood of the composer was complete at all times, so that to give instances would be to recite the program." Such Southern appreciation of Negro genius is an inspiration and a hope. Colonel Roosevelt on Lawlessness Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, jr., Assistant Secretary of War, is approving himself a chip off the old block. He has the courage of his convictions, which is not a common virtue among Republican politicians, and some who imagine they are statesmen, at this time, and for some time past. They mostly prefer to run with the hound and chase with the hare, which every huntsman knows is not an easy thing to do. The statesman whom the people have faith in and who succeeds most in the long run is the statesman who has convictions and the courage to follow them where they lead. Colonel Roosevelt was that sort of statesman. He was not always right but he always enjoyed the admiration of his fellow-citizens because he was brave enough to fight for what he believed to be right. At a mass meeting, held in New York's Harlem, under the auspices of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, recently Congressman Dyer and Col. Roosevelt were among the speakers. They spoke to a capacity house. Col. Roosevelt said there could be "no compromise with the Ku Klux Klan because it strikes at the root of Americanism." It is idle to talk of freedom and liberty "when, through cunningly drawn laws and tolerated chicanery, American citizens are deprived of their fundamental right of franchise." That is plain enough talk from a high enough source to command attention and respect. To those who say that the Dyer bill would not stop lynching, he said: "Perhaps they are right but lynching means lawlessness, and we can have but one attitude towards it." That should be the attitude of all citizens who believe in law and legal process. Congressman Dyer made the remarkable statement that, "The Christian churches in the United States," he charged, "both white and colored, have been doing nothing to promote. good feeling between the black and white races. The Federal Council of Churches is claiming credit which does not belong to it." This a very serious statement, and, of course, the high churchmen of all denominations arraigned will answer for themselves and their denominations. As a matter of fact, if the Southern churches, of all races and denominations, and the press of both races, were united in their opposition to the ugly conditions which make for injustice in legislation and lawlessness in public opinion, they would. soon make the politicians, who brought about the ugly conditions and maintain them for selfish advantage, right about face. An Example of Faith in Tidewater Upon the advent of the new year the Norfolk Journal and Guide in an editorial sounded a call for renewed confidence, a greater determination and a closer cooperation among the colored people of Tidewater to the end that we might travel "full steam ahead" along the path of economic progress during this year. Almost before the ink had dried upon our call, news came out of Washington that three colored business men of Norfolk and environs had presented to the United States government a high bid for the purchase of the town of Truxtun. One hundred and forty-one thousand dollars was the price offered, and although as yet the government has given only tentative assurance that the bid will be accepted, the indications are that it will meet official approval. Thus the new year starts off with a striking manifestation by the Negro business men of this section of their faith in themselves, their race and their community. Each of the men involved in this transaction is a seasoned business man; not given to fanatical nor grand stand play, and when they exhibit a willingness to invest on such a large scale in a home enterprise at this time, it is certainly evidence, as the Journal and Guide has maintained, that opportunities for racial progress are here abounding, and with more faith, more co-operation and a greater will to do, we can make this year a record breaker for economic achievement. Whether this deal goes thru or not, Messrs. Brown, Strong and Lassiter have exhibited a faith in Tidewater and its possibilities that should reinspire those who were proned to see things darkly hereabouts. The action of these gentlemen will give a jolt to the notion some would entertain that all Negro capital and opportunity have fled beyond the Mason and Dixon line. Norfolk Mission College Alumni The effort of local graduates of old Norfolk Mission College to organize a permanent Alumni Association will meet with a cheerful response not only by those who possess a certificate of graduation from the former institution, but even those who had the privilege at one time or another of being enrolled as one of ias students, and its great army of parent and grand parent friends. There are few memories, if any, more reverently cherished by this and the former generation of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk-County than Norfolk Mission College. It causes one to shudder to reflect what might have been the state of the race locally without the great light and influence the old school shed upon these environs for so many years; years when to travel far to a boarding school could never become more than a dream to most colored people. Some one has suggested a memorial to those sacrificing patriachs of education who came from family, influence and friends in the North and taught Negro boys and girls in this city at a time when such service meant absolute ostracism from their social caste. The idea is a good one, but those old missionaries wrought to their memory while they lived greater than we will ever be able to perpetuate thru material things. Our young men and women in the professions, in the big colleges and in business who came out of the one and two-room country schools taught by former Norfolk Mission graduates are indeed monuments to those grand old couriers of learning. Just as long as the art of music lives and progresses among the colored people of this city, just so long will endure the influence of Ida Lou McKirahan, one of the last of the white missionaries to teach in Southern colored schools, and who has just been garnered into eternity. Let us have the Alumni Association, a virile and constructive one, for indeed the memory of Norfolk Mission College is worthy of perpetuation. Spirit of the Press Can The Dyer Bill Stop Lynching? From the New York World "Lynching," as Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, states, "has been a stench in the nastrials of all liberty-loving, law abiding "Americans." It is also true, as Col. Roosevelt asserts, that "there can be no compromise on the Klan," which "strikes at the root of Americanism." But when Mr. Roosevelt recommends the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to Negro voters as a remedy for both evils he is wide of the mark. The Dyer measure is political in origin and would have only a political effect if passed. When communities organize to commit and to conceal the perpetrators of crimes, the Federal Government is quite powerless, as State Government to bring about prosecutions and From the Atlanta Constitution Lynchings have fallen off fifty per cent within the last twelve months. Emigrated Negroes are coming back to the southland by carload and by trainload. These two factors combined, whether related or not, presage a new era of pre-eminent prosperity for Georgia. In the first six months of 1923 there were only 14 verified Lynchings in the United States as compared with 30 during the same period in 1922, and 33 for 1921. Not that the record is anything to be proud of, except that it shows an improvement over the record of previous years. There is no excuse for Lynch law. The sooner all realize the fact that civilization and progress are only possible where all citizens stand equal in the court room, just that much quicker will the blot of mob law be wiped from the escutcheon of the South. And the sooner the blot is wiped out, the sooner prosperity comes. Briefs and Spices The way of the transgressor is a hasty exit by the rear door. The modern husband is one who is more liberal with advice then money. Whether you spell it Evolution or Revolution, they both are bothersome subjects. Pending the outcome of a Presidential nominee next June, the wild and wolly west is bombarding with a battering H.Ram. A scientist says: Cave women used to cook with one single kettle. Of course that's remarkable. But nowadays a lot of modern women do all their cooking with a tea-pot. The present predicament of those European countries, was well stated by Solomon, many years ago, in the seventh verse of the 22nd Chapter of the Proverbs. The truth is stranger than fiction, for instance. There are several women's secret societies functioning right along side of the men's. The champion optimist is the girl who accepted the terms of the ex-service man, who in reply to a Leap Year proposal said, "I will when the bonus bill passes." Nowadays every small town has its radio enthusiasts, counterfeiters, scandals and petting parties. The cartoonist who pictured the passing of 1823 as a man in rage evidently gave vent to his feelings for popular rag-time. MYSTERIOUS THINGS I Tiny seeds in warm earth sleep, Snuggled closely day and night, Waiting for the call to peep Out of darkness into light.

DABNEY Virginia Union University CHRIST AND RELIGIOUS CREEDS Perhaps no time since last year, when Bishop W. T. Manning, called Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, of the Church of the Ascension to time for his views on the Creeds of the Church has there been such a nation-wide and heated discussion between the conservatives and the liberals in the Christian Church. In many cases the arguments have had scarcely more than of a cantankerous nature. Few ministers have done more than wrangle over the creeds, and dogmas in question. Occasionally, ministers like Dr. Sheldon, of the Christian Herald, Dr. Pratt of the Unitarian Church, Dr. Bowie, of Grace Church, and others have emphasized the importance of the underlying principles of the Christian religion. The conservatives are up in arms against the tendency of some ministers to disregard the sacredness of Church creeds, and dogmas. They declare that no minister who does not adhere to the creeds of the Church, has a right to occupy the pulpit. The liberals claim that they are only interpreting old creeds and dogmas, in the light of modern thought. They are the exponents of higher criticism, and in it, they find justification for their opinion. May angel's hands guide thee home to live with Jesus evermore. Despite belief to the contrary, the liberal view is the view of the coming century. The conservatives are harking back to the past; the liberals are looking to the future. The more the laity become intelligent, the more they are going to require ministers with broad and enlightened conceptions of Christianity as against those who regard Christianity as a religion of creeds and dogmas. Creeds and dogmas are needed primarily for superstitious minds. They were made the essential parts of the early Christian Church, because superstition, and ignorance were rampart among early Christian believers. Christ was opposed to creeds and dogmas, as the four gospel show. He emphasized Love, Service and Human Brotherhood. These and not creeds are the essential elements of Christianity. The Volstead Act and Public Opinion In the summer of 1922, the Literary Digest conducted a national vote on the Volstead Act. The Digest comment in part is as fol- lows: "As the total grows, perhaps the most outstanding fact is the evenness with which the most sentiment, generally interpreted as opposition to the Volstead Law, has maintained its lead over both 'wet wets' and 'dry, drys.' Colliers Weekly, January 12, 1924, gives the following figures for its vote on prohibition: 11,596 for and 9,220 against the Volstead Act. The above reaction so far as those who have voted against the Volstead Act, are concerned, does not mean necessarily that they are against the prohibition movement per se. The movement is a good thing. It has within those forces which are operating for the moral betterment of the body politic. The Volstead Act and Prohibition, per se, are two different things. Prohibition is an ethical ideal, the Volstead Act is the means for the consumption of the ideal. Thomas Paine the great deist, maintained that when one wanted to accomplish a certain thing, one must select the means competent for the realization of the desired result. The point against the Volstead Act is that it is impotent to accomplish the task which the prohibitionist have set for themselves. The Volstead Act was passed in disregard of one of the most fundamental principles of political economy. It is obvious from votes taken and the general public attitude toward the Act that the people were not ready for the Volstead Act when it was passed. It is always unwise to make laws which a large number of people oppose. It is obvious that such laws will be impotent to accomplish the desired result. Public opinion and education have not been sufficiently spread to warrant the legalization of prohibition by an enactment. The bootleggers' war in Illinois and the trouble in Georgia reported by the Associated Press last week, the scandal uncovered at the nation's capitol the week before Christmas and hundreds of other cases throughout the country are concrete illustrations of the foregoing fact. It is a fact of economic significance that supply to a large extent is determined by demand. This is true relative to whiskey as well as to other goods. As long as there is a group of people who desire it and are willing to pay/exorbitant prices for it, some one will supply it. The prohibition movement is a question of education and economic uplift, ignorance and poverty must be destroyed. Neither wealth nor education, however will solve the drinking problem. It will take all of the scientific social froces now extant, to relieve the present situation. Of these law is of the least importance. Health Teahing In High Schools Released By U. S. Department of The Interior. Five hundred and sixty-one of every thousand boys and grils who enter high school leave before the end of the fourth year. For this reason energy should be directed at this time toward fitting these young people for modern life that they may intelligently and efficiently fulfill their future destiny, according to the bulletin. Suggestions for a Program of Health Teaching in the High School" just issued by the Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Education. Heath instruction should be made to function in the life of the child, creating right habits of living based on a rational knowledge of the reasons why the habits are right, says the bulletin. Whatever the method of presentation, an endeaver should be made to promote the consciousness that physiology and hygiene are associated with personal and community welfare. One teacher permitted small groups of girls to work together on helpful topics suggested by the pupils themselves. The care of milk and the germ theory of disease were among the subjects. The effect of health on personal appearance is an effective lead. Industrial hygiene appeals to the Prospective factory workers and future employees, used in the hand of the teachers. The workman's compensation and employers' liability in types of safety device machines, etc., are interesting points of attack, according to the bulletin which accrues to the employers who install better ventilating and protective devices should be pointed out. Respect for human life and knowledge concerning proper precautions to be taken (gas masks, frequent hand washing, etc.) should be include in there is in health teaching that will enable boys to acquire better scores in their athletic contests; how can we weigh our weight up to normal; and what physiological facts are back of these measures, are a few of the pertinent subjects presented in the bulletin. Debates are suggested on such subjects as "Resolved that our city pint of milk a day at morning recess to every child", and such problems as "calculating the cost of erecting and maintaining a water filtration plant for a city, and compare with cost annual occurrence of 100 cases of typhoid with cost of average disability of eight THE TOLL OF LLICIT LIQUOR One of the gravest problems faced today in the matter of public health is the manufacture and drinking of "hooch" or "bootle liquor. Too much of the subject possibly to be given the subject nor can too much energy be exerted putting down this dealing in death. The number of deaths during the last year has been appalling, and there seems no let up in the mefarious practice of issuing to the public bottled death. In one city alone, Philadelphia, there were 875 deaths directly traceable to poisones. The Coroner of that city, "Philadelphia has had more deaths from during the last twelve months than any other city in the country, New York included." Aside from the cases which have resulted fatally, the hospitals of all the cities record the increasing percentage of alcoholism which they are called upon to treat. It is not that more liquor is being drunk by the public than in preVolested days, but it is being used dangerous effect on a more serious after effect. Every manufacturer of illicit liquor knows himself to be a law breaker, but it seems inconceivable that he recognizes himself as a murdered also. Can it be in his mad rush for gold he has grown calloused and conscienceless, hesitating not even to murder his customers? suits of this treatment measured in death are to ghastly to have a place in modern civilization. As a rule those engaged in illicit manufacture know absolutely nothing about product derived from faulty and ignorant distillation. Everyone has his own formula and his object to market it as quickly as possible. The various poisons entering into the average bootleg liquor in both small and large amounts—mostly large—are Acetic Acid, Acetaldehyde, Methanol, Furfur, Esters, Fusel Oil, and Salts of Zinc and Copper. Even if death does not follow you, the amount of agony ous causes, the amount of agony caused by violent gastritis, blindness, acute pain, arterial sclerosis, heart, lung and kidney affections, should be enough to warn any sane person from ever drinking illic liquor. Anyone who has the slightest regard for his health, his life, or the well being of those depending upon him, should be aware and should abstain. At present moment all liquor offered for sale in America except at first class drug stores is dangerous. Your own formula is dangerous and so is that of your neighbor, so beware in the matter of extending and accepting a transient hospitality which has in certain illness and possible death. The present day liquor situation is the most serious problem this nation is facing, but no amount of law can control the foolish acts of a more foolish people. All that has been done to build up our public health standards threats to be washed away by the ever increasing and continuous flow of "moonshine" liquor. The present generation is undermining its health and raising the products of a wasted body and soul on to their children of the next generation. This is a serious matter and must have serious treatment, yet the solution to it all lies in the individual determination of each and all of us to wade aside the poison which too often tempts. There is no demand for illicit liquor its manufacture will cease. How much more sincerity, and how many more horrible deaths must we witness, we are convinced that we cannot drink poison and remain healthy to enjoy the best that a long happy life offers? What the Negro has gained in the matter of health and social standards, he stands to lose if he becomes marked as a manufacturer and patron of "moonshine" liquor. Unquestionably we have already gone too far in both directions, but let us together rise up, meet the situation as we have so often met others, and again save ourselves from an ignominy which to day is all too threatening to be regarded with neglect and indifference. weeks for victims." In as much as many boys and girls complete their schooling in the high school, the need for instruction in infant care and the health of the preschool child are most essential, and should be included early in the hygiene course. Boys as well as girls should be informed on this subject as prospective fathers and mothers of the race. First Unit Of Buildings Soon To Be Erected (Continued From Page 9.1) John, a young colored priest from New Jersey, of the Society of the African Missions. He was assisted by Father A. J. Olds, rector, and Father Deppe, who very warmly praised the delegates and the committees they represent for the work already done, and urged their constitution, which will mean so much stituation which will mean so much for the colored race. He spoke also of the crying need throughout the country for religious education and of the great efforts of the Catholic Church to meet this need through schools. Incidental to this meeting was the organization of a national body to be known as the Federated Colored Catholics of the State of Missouri. Mr. William Prater, president of the Federated Colored Catholics of Washington and Vicinity, was elected executive secretary. Other officers elected were Professor Thomas Turner of Howard University, president; W. J. Reed, of Columbus, Ohio; First Vice-President; Gonza First Colum, Maryland; second Vice-President; Third Velia of Pittsburgh; third Vice-President; George Dabney of Boston, Mass.; fourth Vice President; Miss Caroline Cook, of Baltimore, is treasurer; A. R. Peliciano, of Toledo, recording secretary. Saunders Believes Race Can Settle Its Own Problem (Continued From Page 9.1) And so at the bottom of much conflicting opinion we find the more intelligent and race-conscious Negro having a clearly defined idea of his racial needs. We find too that he is assuming responsibility for the working out of his problem; he realizes that his uplift is his own and not a white man's problem, and that his work of individual uplift will not be completed until he has uplifted the humblest and most ignorant of his own group. At Mound Bayou, Miss., Negroes have founded a town of their own. There is not a town man in it. At Mound Bayou the Negroes voted a bond issue of $115,000 on themselves to build a consolidated rural high school. I went through that school, and was impressed with the fact that of twelve classrooms, only five were allotted to academic work, seven were set aside for domestic science and industrial arts. Citizens of Mound Bayou profess happiness in their self-imposed segregated life. The town of Mound Bayou was begun in 1888 by Isaiah T. Montgomery who was formerly a slave in the family of Jefferson Davis. The railroad that had just penetrated the great Yazoo and Mississippi Delta sought his aid in soiling the millions of acres along its right of way. After many careful surveys, Mr. Montgomery chose Mound Bayou and in partnership with a cousin, Benjamin T. Green, bought 1,000 acres of land outright. The place was but a wilderness of big timber with a dense undergrowth of cane and briars, through which one had tohew every foot of his way with ax and scythe. In that wilderness Mound Bayou was established and has grown to-day into a town of 1,000 population, surrounded by 30,000 to 40,000 acres of farms owned by Negroes or owned and operated by Negroes. Mound Bayou farmers raised last year 8,000 bales of cotton under bool weevil conditions. Mound Bayou looks just like many another Southern town where the population is white and black. But in Mound Bayou one finds the railroad depot, the telegraph office, the telephone exchange, the post office, the drug store, the bank, the cottonseed-oil mill, the newspaper, the cottongins, the saw mill, the electric shoe-repair shop, bottling works, smithy, wood working shops, the hotel, the movies, and fifteen stores—all run by Negroes. I sought interview with the mayor, Benjamin A. Green, and found him a young Negro graduate of Harvard University. I asked to see the policeman of the town, and found there were two of them, and both of them in overall at work on the streets. Here Negroes, hewing for themselves, besides taxing themselves to build a $115,000 school house, have built and maintain more than six churches, costing nearly $75,000. The first brick church built in Bolivar County, Mississippi, was built by the Negro Baptists of Mound Bayou. Everything in Mound Bayou is of Negro origin with the exception of its Carnegie Library. The Carnegie Library is the only gift from white men to the town of Mound Bayou. The Negro not only seems to know what he needs, but how to manage for and by himself. Mound Bayou justifies the belief that the Negro's strongest leaders will not depart from the South. Millions of their uncertain brethren may flee to a temporary economic betterment in the North, but the wise leaders will stand by the institutions they have built up in the South, and here in the South—in a climate more nearly suited to the physique and temperament of a tropical race—they will strive for the development of a true personality—and the outfitting of greater leaders. If would be a calamity for the black man indeed if, in the search for immediate gain, he should have lost sight of what he really wants. The race or the individual that gets there is the one that has an objective.
