VOL. XXIV No. 4 MURD Appoin LEGAL FIGHT OVER HUSBAND'S DEATH FINALLY CLOSES Widow of Johnson Norman Upstes Railroad Company's Allegations That Husband Was Killed and Placed On Tracks. LONG LEGAL FIGHT ENDS IN A $500.00 AWARD. Plymouth, N. C.—Upsetting the contention of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad Company that her husband was killed by others and his body placed upon its tracks before being run over by a south bound train July 18, 1920, Mrs. Johnson. Norman won a suit for damages in the sum of $500.00 for the death of the late Johnson Norman against the railroad company in Superior Court here this week. The verdict brought to a close four years of litigation which have not been without its bitter as well dramatic phases. On the morning of July 18, 1920 the body of Johnson Norman was found on the tracks of the Norfolk and Southern. One leg was severed. The train crew contended that the body was cold when examined immediately after the locomotive passed over it. There was but little blood, they said. These assertions raised the allegation of possible murder. On the same day, James Gee and Alphonso Brooks were arrested and charged with murdering Norman. At the hearing in the Recorder's court, evidence was adduced tending to show that the two men had been seen in company with Norman a short while previous to the finding of his body and that the trio had been seen going in the direction of the railroad tracks in a druken condition. It was also contended that some time during the night, a brawl ensued between them. The charges against the two men were dismissed for want of probable case. At the next term of Superior Court a true bill was returned against the same men and they were rearrested and a murder charge again docked against them. Their trial ended in a verdict of not guilty. The wife of the deceased then immediately instituted suit against the railroad company for negligent death of her husband. The case was called for trial last week and for two days opposing attorneys wrangled over the evidence. Two white physicians testified that they were of the opinion that the body was dead before being hit by the train. A colored physician, who was a passenger on the train, at the time held the same view. The plaintiff made out a strong case of circumstantial evidence and the jury decided in her behalf. Attorney P. H. Bell, of Plymouth, appeared for Mrs. Norman and also defended the two men accused of murder at every trial. The railroad company was represented by attorneys Z. V. Norman of the local bar and W. M. Redmond of the firm of Small, McLeed and Redmond, of Washington, N. C. Has Nineteen Children, And He's Only 42 Has Nineteen Children, And He's Only 42 Gaffney, S. C.—(A. N. P.)

OLD DOMINION GIVES A SUPERIOR SERVICE Excellent Accomodations Offered Colored Travelers Is Statement Of Officials. Announcement is made by officials of the Old Dominion Steamship Company that the two new and palatial passenger and freight steamers contracted for are expected to be ready in time to inaugurate a daily sailing schedule from Norfolk to New York by the middle of next summer. The ships will be christened George Washington and Robert E. Lee, and are being constructed on the ways of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company. They represent the last word in canoeist steamers and when they are put into commission water travel from the South to northern points will become as luxurious as can be made. With the present equipment the Old Dominion Steamship Company is giving a very excellent service. The travel facilities and comforts offered to colored travelers are of a superior kind. Officials of the company stated in very convincing tones to a representative of the Journal and Guide this week that it is the policy of the company to accord their colored travelers every consideration of courtesy and accommodation for the fare paid. In this manner they have built up a very creditable patronage of colored people. There are many reasons why a large number of travelers prefer the water route to New York, these officials state, principally among which are the case with which sleeping accommodations can be secured, the assurance of a full night's rest and the wonderful opportunity to view the harbor and coast scenery of both ports during the several hours of daylight sailing. Of course, when the new ships are in opation the service to be accorded the colored passengers will be even superior than what it is at present, but at the present time everything is arranged to take care of these passengers in a manner that makes travel a pleasure. WORKS OLD SWINDLE TRICK Columbia, S. C.—(By A. N. P.) Price's Drug Store of this city was made the victim of the oldest swindle trick known to police Wednesday when they sent a delivery boy with fifty cents worth of merchandise and change for ten dollars to an address on Hampton street in response to a telephone call. The delivery boy explained that he had been met by a tall man who took the merchandise and change, and then disappeared around a corner. PETITIONS FOR COLORED MAN AT NEW SCHOOL Petition Being Circulated For Signatures To Be Presented To School Board Asking That Decision Be Reversed. A petition is being circulated among the colored citizens of Norfolk for signatures to be presented to the school board asking the appointment of a colored custodian at the new Booker T. Washington high school. Altho it has been rumored for some time, it was not until this week that official announcement was made that a white man had been appointed to fill this position. This news caused a shock to the colored people who are unable to understand, in spite of the explanation offered by a school) official that no competent colored man was available here, just why such seemingly anomalous action was taken. A white man as custodian of a colored school in a Southern city is something that provokes serious concern among the thinking element of colored people, who are always hopeful of the most harmonious race relations. In such a situation they see things not conducive to the most pleasant reflections. The subject has been the cause of hasty meetings and serious discussions in the past few days. One thing certain, the entire colored population discounts the idea that no colored custodian competent to handle the heating equipment was available in this city. They are asking, how was it that the United States Government found any number of Negro engineers, and skilled ones too, to work in and around the vast works carried on here during the war? Are not any of these men in this vicinity now? they are wondering. Moreover, there are several men, they say, in the city who have had wide experience with all kinds of boilers. Say Competent Are Here ... If there are no such men at present in the employ of the school system, who have had particular experience in all the phases of school custodian work, the question still persists, what great skill is demanded of such a job? Why can't any man competent to take care of boilers very soon learn all the other aspects of the work? which are practically similar to the duties of an ordinary janitor. There are also those who claim that the present custodian at Booker T. Washington high school is fully competent to take charge of the heating plant at the new school and can prove it if given the opportunity. If he is not, there are other colored men who are, it is asserted. The petition lays particular stress upon the possibilities and even probabilities of friction at the school on account of this anomalous situation. And it is this that constitutes the chief concern of the colored people. It implores the school board to rescind its action in giving this job to a white man, and points out that such a policy is destructive of efficiency among the colored custodians. In this case they have been deprived of a promotion, which will act in the future to destroy economy. The petition is worded free of biteriness and passion, but sets out unassailable arguments in favor of what it is designed to accomplish. Have You a Vacant Room?

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 Colored Doctors Claim Unfair Attitude of The City's Health Bureau City Has A Population Of More Than 55,000 Negroes, Yet No Public Race Physician Is Employed In Any Capacity. Dissatisfaction has arisen in the Colored Physicians Club of Norfolk, composed of all the practicing physicians of this city, over the alleged attitude of the Department of Public Welfare regarding the apportionment of public health work paid for by the city that seriously threatens to retard Norfolk's health program as pertains to the colored people particularly and the entire community generally. It has already resulted in the practical suspension of the clinic at the Community Center, a situ- the health department and the Physicians Club which have for a number of years been growing the more so, have now reached the straining point, in so far as the club is concerned, and it is authoritatively stated by its members that until the department sees its way clear to accord some concrete recognition to the services of the colored doctors of the city, that they cannot, with honor, further extend their services in the matter of charitable work under auspices of the health bureau.

He said that he had every assurance that all Republicans, without regard to color or creed, who were duly elected, will be seated at the state convention upon the presentation of their credentials.

GOMEZ CALLS ON RACE BUSINESS FOR SOLIDARITY Secretary-Manager of Bankers Fire Company Makes Remarkable Proposal To Colored Business Men. Probably one of the most remarkable communications sent out over the country to Negro business men, and one indicative of a new and most encouraging grasp upon the economic problem of the race, is the recent letter appearing over the signature of W. Gomez, secretary-manager of the Bankers' Fire Insurance, of Durham, N. C. Mr. Gomez advises that successful business owes it to our economic development to stabilize race enterprises. Not only are the facts set out in the letter sufficient for the execution, to at once create an economic solidarity among the race that would assure it world wide recognition, but they emanate from a source of sufficient stability and confidence to be of a highly inspirational character. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company of which Mr. Gomez is an important official is one of the race's strongest enterprises, conducted by men who have achieved success and who possess an intimate familiarity with the problems of the race business man. Mr. Gomez's letter reads: THE LETTER "With the rapid development of colored business, it is evident that it is very necessary that those of us who are already established, as well as those in the promotion stage, should have every protection with regard to the selection, not only of our executives and office forces, but also our field forces. Therefore, I wish to propose the following: 1. "That it is necessary for us to have a Central Bureau in order that we might have a check on men with regard to their former connections, et cetera; because very often one organization will think it is getting a good catch in a certain man or men, and later find that it has secured an unscrupulous person. 2. "That we owe it to ourselves and to our race, as business men, to establish fair, equitable and ethical codes, or to live up to what we know to be the proper ethics of our business. PROMOTE BETTER UNDERSTANDING 3 "That we must promote among ourselves a better understanding, a closes relation and a better personal knowledge of each other, so we can not only associate together our ideas, but our lives and money for the future development of business among our race, whether it be along our particular chosen line or not. Our motto should be: "No failures among colored business." Therefore, it becomes more apparent and necessary that we have a Central Clearing House, which will keep us in touch.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 To all Graduates and Ex-students of Virginia Seminary and College of Tidewater Virginia. This is to inform you that an Initiative Meeting of all graduates and ex-students of the above named school will be held at The First Baptist Church, Bute St, Norfolk, Va. Thursday, January 31, 1924, at 7 P.M. for the purpose of organizing a Tidewater Unit of the institution, that we may in a more united way be of tangible-service to our old School, here in this section of Virginia, and at the same time in living and perpetuating the good old "Seminary Spirit," that predominated our lives when we were under its shelter, by meeting the old and acquainting ourselves with the new contingents. We realize that there are numbers of men, women, boys and girls here in this section of Va., to say nothing of the vast number all over the state and country who during their intellectual infancy were in our school at Lynchburg, and nursed from her bosom of knowledge, have gone out in the world and by their action and silence towards the school have forgotten the wound that bore their ignorance, and the school from which they drank spiritual and intellectual knowledge, and in view of this, we are putting forth this effort, best you forget. Therefore, let us on the above named date come together from all quarters and corners of Tidewater and resolve to do our bits to perpetuate the principles, and work for which our fathers fought and died, that they may not have died in vain. We are sending personal letters to all of those whose names and addresses we have at present, but because you don't receive a letter, don't think you are any less concerned for it is because we do not call to memory your name and address. If it is impossible for you to be present at this meeting, drop us a letter assuring us of your interest and just how we may get in touch with you in the future. We are expecting our own Dr. Madison, and Rev. Bowling of Norfork, Mrs. W. E. Riddick of Portsmouth, Mrs. Janie P. Galvin of Newport News, Rev. Heck of Suffolk, and Mrs. Ada Urquhart Gary of Franklin, and other such exponents of the institution to be present and give the pass word at this meeting. Remember that the old saying, "Go on I am with you," wont have any place or bearing in regards to this meeting. Fostered by G. C. Madison, 729 Washington Ave., Norfolk, Va. and Mary Spriggs Carter, 729 Cumberland St., Norfolk, Va. Garvey Repudiated The matter of the Carvey movement was discussed at at length by many of the ministers of the Baptist Pastors' Conference after reading the resolutions prepared by the committee. The sentiment of the ministers is pretty fully expressed in the following resolutions which were adopted by a standing vote. A motion was made to have the resolutions published in the city papers. THE GARVEY MOVEMENT We, the Members of the Baptist Pastors' Union of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Vieinity accept the responsibility to safeguard the entire interest of our race religiously, morally and materially. We accept the responsibility too, to warn our people against men, measures or new movements that upon their very face, have not for their prime object the betterment of or the advancement of the race whose support and co-operation they seek. The Garvey Movement does not impress us as being a sound proposition. It is unsound physiologically, also financially. It has more of the appearance of mirage, or the hallucination of an enfeebled brain. The ruling of the court was that its conduct was reprehensible because the people had been mulled for the enrichment of others than themselves. This Movement attempts to discredit and malign the leaders of the American Negro, saying that they are incompetent, unwise and false. Notwithstanding that under the direction of such leaders the race has stounded the civilized world with its achievements and growth, who, by the Garvey Movement are to be repudiated, declared ignorant incompetent and false. This Movement attacks the ministry and the churches. It is insolent and bold enough to publically proclaim among our people that we can not win the race of life unless they cease to support the ministry and the churches and turn that support into buying of ships, and ocean liners, and go to a land of night and death and proclaim Garvey their King. The Movement says, plead no longer with heaven nor heaven's God, but call on Garvey and he will deliver you out of your troubles and take you to the promise land. It has been sufficiently proven that something has gone wrong with the people's money collected in this Movement. It is more evident that if anyone went to Africa it will be the poorest and the most ignorant class of our race. It is very evident that the movement has been successful thru the perpetual appeal of the black man against the white man. Nothing is worth while that is not conceived in the truth, born in love and nursed at the breast of righteousness. Therefore, in our judgement the Garvey Movement was not so born, conceived nor nursed and must be declared by the Baptist Ministry of Tidewater as being unworthy of the of the moral or financial support of the Negro anywhere, and pledge ourselves unitedly to employ every honorable means to convince our people that this Movement is doomed to failure and must eventually result in untold financial lost to our race. To this end we promise to teach and preach and pray, until the eyes of the people will have been opened that they may discern between the good and the evil, the false and the true. Respectfully summed, Your committee, R. H. Bowling, Jr, N. B. Brown, F. W. Williams, D. Jennings, C. H. D. Griffin, O. C. Jones, C. C. Somerville.

Morris is meeting in his pastoral work in Chester, Pa.. Rev. Morris's well known in Tidewater Virginia, where he formerly pastored and has many friends. Editor Norfolk Journal and Guide, Sir:— Please allow me space in your most valuable paper to say just a word about our splendid pastor and the great work that he has done and is doing in this, the great Calvary Baptist Church, and not only in the Church, but the City it large. Rev. E. B. Morris came to us September, 1922. Found the flock very much scattered, a big debt, and a very low-spirited membership, he like a Moses called to the Children, to go forward regardless of the Red Sea; and up to the first of this year, 1924, we have raised more than (Twelve Thousand dollars) paid all indebtedness, and have a (thousand or so) in bank. God bless our Pastor. Has also added over three hundred members to the church. We had a splendid concert, or program in honor of our beloved pastor, on January 9th. This being the pastor's birthday, and to our very great surprise, at the conclusion of the program, when we were about to dismiss, The Rev. Dr. W. J. Winston, President of Clayton Williams University, Baltimore, Md., asked permission to have a word. He arose in his dignified way, and spoke of our pastors worth, to the Denomination, and also to the race and in a few well chosen words, conferred the Honorary title of Doctor of Divinity upon Rev. Morris. We are proud of a man like Dr. Morris, who is bringing things to pass in Pennsylvania.

MONEY TO LOAN LABOR IS FAIR Ed. Ryan, Negro Member of Washington Legislature Praises Attitude of Workers (CRUSADER SERVICE) Chicago, Ill.-Writing to the editor of the Whip, Ed Ryan, editor of Ryan's Weekly and Negro member of the State Legislature of Washington, endorsed movement of Young Workers League in this city to organize colored and white youth together in the same organization and outlined his own experience with the organized white workers who have twice sent him to the Legislature on the Farmer-Labor Party ticket: My dear Editor: "I am inspired to write you by reason of a cut appearing in the Defender of December 15 entitled "Erasing Color Prejudice." It has occurred to me that this group of the Young Workers' League would make a fine start toward building a militant political organization. I regard The Whip as the one hope of a journalistic effort in leading our people out of darkness. "For more than thirty years I have been considered radical, and am now, as you may be aware, a member of the Washington legislature, representing the Farmer-Labor group. At present, I am serving my second term, having been reelected in 1922 with an increased majority. "In my district, there are approximately 10,000 voters, about 140 of which are Negroes. In both elections I led my ticket notwithstanding that both of my colleagues on the Farmer-Labor ticket were white men. "My only reason for detailing this to you is to point out the fact that among the organized working groups there is no race prejudice and the motto of the Young Worker' League of Chicago; "There is but one race, the human race," is not a mere play on words. "The Farmer-Labor Party is to hold a national convention at the twin cities May 30, at which time I hope to be one of the 14 delegates from my State. In my opinion Senator LaFollette will be the candidate of the Farmer-Labor Party, and he certainly will not be objectionable to the intelligent members of our race. "I read with care each issue of the Whip and, editorial of November 24, is certainly to be commended. It is plain that the Defender sent Phil Jones and Rosco Simmons to the National Convention hoping that Abbott could get close to the political pork barrel which will be opened next year. Abbott seems radical between elections and regular at election time.

It was nearly nine o'clock the youngster was si-ing for bed. The ring-gee porter's bell drew his from the outside lights. can't we go to bed, now? "I guess he does; but that's the way he makes money to take care of his little boys and girls," explained the father. "Where are his little boys and girls? Are they an this train now?" inquired the youngster. "Oh, no; they're at home," said Dad. "And when the porter reach- his home, they'll come to meet him with hugs and kisses just like you and sister do when I reach home, after being away on the train," Dady continued. "When does the porter get home to see his little boys and girls?" the kiddie asked next. "Once or twice a week," replied Dad; "All according to how far he has to go on the train." "Is little Joe's Daddy a porter?" quizzed the boy. "What Joe?" "The little colored boy who work at our house every Saturday." He told me his daddy had gone away and wouldn't be back for a long time. He said Santa Claus didn't come to his home this Christmas because his Daddy was away," continued the little boy in a sympathetic tone. "If he is a porter, he must be on a long ride."

It was nearly nine o'clock and the youngster was silently pining for bed. The ringing of the porter's bell drew his attention from the outside lights. "Daddy, can't we go to bed, now? he asked, plaintively, tugging at his father's coat. "Just as soon as the porter has made up our berth, little man," replied Dad, with a reassuring smile. "But, what makes the porter so slow? Can't he make up our berth right away?" persisted the youngster as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Well, my boy, there are many beds to be made up, and the porter has to attend to them all by himself. He'll have our bed ready in a few minutes," said Dad, as he lighted a fresh cigar, while the little boy again turned to the car window. The rumbling of the car wheels and clanking of coupling pins were all that broke the quiet for the next few minutes, when the kiddie abruptly began a new line of questioning. "Daddy," said he: "Doesn't the porter ever get tired of making up so many beds?" --- mislaid. I've been mighty afraid since Big Joe was sent down. I never lose any time hunting things up nowadays, when they're 'missing. Women are so careless, too," said the porter. "Well, Big Joe was guilty, wasn't he?" inquired the father. "No, sir," promptly answered the porter. "Twas that 'Dandy Dan' book agent that riffed the sleeper. I thought he looked funny when he went through the car to supper," continued the porter.

Johnson, Jr.) It is probable that Norfolk fans will have another opportunity to witness some more high class basket ball in the near future. Piggy Harrison, the pioneer promoter is negotiating with St. Paul and Newport News "Y" quints. Up to the time this paper went to press final arrangements had not been made, but the game is no doubt assured. What Norfolk fans need is more basket ball to enable them to have an appreciation for the game. Booker T. Washington high school is planning to put out a five, in fact the squad has begun training for the season and hopes to be in readiness to jump into the fray soon. Coach Wilson is drilling his charges hard to knock off the rough edges. Now the question is, how about the other teams? The teams to give high school competition. No team can be developed without competition. Probably some other team will organize. We have been discussing probabilities long enough why not some realities now or instead? MORE BASKET BALL. The girl's basket ball squad is making wonderful progress under coach Wilson, and the captain, Nellie Jones. Workouts are held daily on the school grounds and the girls are taking to the work like ducks to water. The team has a game scheduled with Huntington high school of Newport News. "Malcolm Strauss' Salome," Coming To The Attucks Big Michaux Production "Birthright" Headliner For Monday and Tuesday. A new and welcomed innovation will be started Monday by the management of the Attucks. Departing from their regular custom, beginning next week, they are going to run each Monday and Tuesday one of Oscar Michauxs big all-Star Colored pictures. Those of the theatre going public who have seen any of the Michaux pictures know how well they depict the true aspect of the race. Mr. Michaux is the only moving picture producer in America who has made a success with colored pictures, and it is because every Michaux picture has been a winner. Mr. Michaux is an author as well as a producer and his productions have been true to Negro life because he understands all of the circumstances which have attended the uphill climb of the race since emancipation, and it is his true characterization of these things that make his pictures have a peculiar appeal to all reel loving people. His pictures have had a telling effect in portraying the true history of the race and in imparting inspiration to lovers of good drama. "Birthright" is the feature for Monday. It is a ten reel drama of love and tragedy with a very pleasing ending. Because of the additional expense which attends the bringing of the Michaux pictures to the Attucks, the admission price for Monday and Tuesday will be 25 cents. Malcon Strauss' "Salome," an entirely new version of the spectacular story of Salome in motion picture form will be shown on the screen at theAttucks Wednesday and Thursday. Considerable discussion and interest have been aroused by the production, because Salome is to be shown in a different light from that usually accorded her. It is a version of the immortal story which has never been presented heretofore in book form, stage or motion picture. Salome, according to this sensational version, was reared amid luxury, wickedness and lust at the palace of her stepfather, King Herod. Contrary to popular belief, however, she was unspoiled by this deravity which surrounded her, and was the unfortunate tool of her mother, Queen Herodias, and other conspirators. Falling in love with a visiting Egyptian Prince, Salome invouses the anger and jealousy of her mother, the Queen, who has the Prince seized and thrown into a dungeon with the prophet John, who had exposed the Queen's wickedness to her subjects. Salome dances for the King, and is about to ask for the release of her lover as a reward, when the Queen intorecipes her, tells Salome that her lover will die unless she demands the head of the prophet, and thus compels the unfortunate Process to do that awful deed to save the Prince. She afterwards rescues the Prince, and together they flee to Egypt from the pursuit of the Queen, and there find peace and happiness. in other versions; Salome falls in love with John, has him beheaded (when he spurs her, then is killed by the horrified Kitig Herod. "Malcolm Strauss' Salome," with Malcolm, wholesome story of love and adventure, and its happy ending, follows the famous Bible story in every detail. A distinguished cast plays in Malcolm Strauss' Salome." Diana then, formerly a Follies star andancer, is appropriately cast as Vincent Coleman is the . Booker Washington has always had a pretty good girls quint. The coach will have no difficulty, in turning out a good team. He has a good nucleus to form a team around. Athletics in Phyllis Wheatley Garden. Considering the spaciousness of the Phyllis Wheatley Garden, it would be a good place to pull off something good in the line of athletics. This was proven by the basket ball game between Shaw and Hampton before the holidays. It is the only place in Norfolk that affords athletic advantages. Why not some boxing and wrestling now? Fans are tired of the inativeness of our so-called athletes. There is a bunch of idle material lying around. Considering the material Norfolk has, it should be one of the leading cities in athletics, but as a rule. Norfolk athletes have to be sparred on to do certain things, which lie with them. Come on boys and give us some action. The luxury of sports in Norfolk is something awful. It should not be left with our friend "Piggy" to do it all. Let some one cisep put their shoulders to the wheel and give him a lift. Norfolk sadly needs pulling out of the rut, and the Phyllis Wheatley Garden will serve the purpose of staging any athletic event. Prince and Christine Winthrop the Queen. Others in the cast are: Ben Probst, Tom Cameron, Al Sturar and Allan Hardy. Hundreds of extras in nob scenes, and large numbers of horses, camels and elephants also take part in the thrilling production. "My Friend The Devil" Billed For Portsmouth Colonia The managers have a big announcement to make to the patrons of the Colonial Theatre. They have booked the big, stirring William Fox Special, "My Friend The Devil," and will show it at this theatre for two days beginning Monday, January 28 and do not wish any of the patrons to miss this picture, and therefore they emphasize the importance of "My Friend The Devil," as the best kind of screen entertainment.

This story has in it all the elements that make for high class entertainment. It is one that will hold any audience, having many thrilling situations which all lead to one of the strongest and most gripping climaxes in the history of screen drama. In the east are Charles Richman, Barber Castleton, William Tooker, Peggy Shaw, Benny Grauer and others of note and talent. The Senior Class of I. C.

BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. At a casual glance it would appear that Paddy Mullins is passing up a wonderful opportunity in rejecting the offer of $300,000 for two bouts in which the "Brown Panther", Harry Wills, the outstanding heavyweight contender, would fight Firpo and Dempsey. This sum, viewed from any angle represents a respectable fortune. In the every day course of events it would assume big proportions in any line of business or athletic activities, except boxing. Study of the situation from a strickly business and boxing standpoint, reveals sound business reasoning in the rejection by Mullins of a guarantee of $100,000 for Wills to box Firpo, the "Wild Bull of the Pampas," and a guarantee of $200,000 for his protege to box Dempsey, providing Wills first beats Firpo. Mullins is hardly declining because of the State Athletic Commissioner's ruling which forbids the granting of guaranteed sums in prize fights. There is little reason to believe that he is rejecting the offer because he is afraid to share his part of the loss, if perchance, either of the proposed bouts failed. There is every reason to believe that either match would prove to be record breaker. Behind Mullin's rejection is system of logical reasoning whereby the astute manager of Wills has thoughtfully weighed the difference between a guaranteed sum and a percentage. Why? Mullins is convinced that a percentage basis would not him and Wills greater financial gains. Mullins calculates the amount a Wills-Firpo bout would bring as the challenger's usual 12½ per cent as $150,000. Estimating the receipts of the Wills-Firpo bout at $1,200,000 is conservative, according to many, in view of the fact that such a bout would arouse such tremendous interest. There would be little surprise if the receipts exceeded this amount, especially if a $25 admission was allowed. Cold facts also uphold Mullins in his action with respect to a Demussey-Wills fight. Such a match would undoubtedly attract more than 100,000 people, in fact would doubtless necessitate the erection of a special arena to meet the demand for seats. If accommodations for the masses were provided the record gate of $1,000,000 established at the Demussey-Carpenter fight would be exceeded. If expectations in this direction were fulfilled it would be to NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE M---He Has A Plan POSITION! A PLAIN ORDINARY WILL DO.

Mullins insists that all records would be smashed if Dempsey is ever coaxed into a ring with Wills, and everybody agrees with him. But what the race fight fans want is to see a man of our group get a chance at the heavyweight crown $300,000 is not a sum to be sneered at. As a moral as well as financial gain Mullins should accept this offer. After the crown is safely in Wills hands he can demand his terms and make his money then Anything can happen, but with a $300,000 guarantee for two bouts Mullins should be satisfied at present. If he accepts $100,000 for a boat with Firpo, and beats him there is hardly any doubt in even the most scoptical minds that a Dempsey-Wills fight will be success from every standpoint. It is now a choice between a greater amount on the first two fights of of making the money after Wills has defeated Dempsey and Firpo. Most people sincerely believe that Wills can do this if he does not wait too long.

Howard, though defeated, put up a great fight, rallying several times to forge into the lead. The final result was never certain. At the end of the first half both teams were deadlocked—10 to 10. Both teams failed to score for fully five minutes after the beginning of the first half. They appeared to be "feeling" each other out. Hargrove started the scoring by caging a free throw. This was followed by a brilliant shot from near mid floor by McNichols DEATHS Mr. George Mossey, of 727 Lexington street died January 15, 1923. Gone, but not forgotten. Wife, Mrs. Susie M. Mossey.

There was a series of dazzling tries and blocks until Sewall sank the ball for Howard and tied the score. Howard then forged into the lead, getting a total of 10 points. With her characteristic fighting spirit, Hampton rallied. Just as the whistle-blew for the half way point, "Chet" Jones taged a free throw, tying the score at 10 all. Speedy Second Half Hampton got the tip-off in the second half and with several lightning-like passes got the ball in position for Jones to care it; thus breaking the tip and putting Hampton in the lead. In this half Gunn and Hargrove played at their best, sinking shots from any angle, playing an all round great game, and breaking up several threatening rallies started by Howard. The "Bisons" fought with everything they could use and were still unable to break through the superb defense of the "Seasiders". Gunn, Hargrove, McNichols, a n d Jones all scored field goals with such rapidity that the Hampton Institute Gymnasium fairly shook with the cheers of the excited crowd Howard Plays Fine Game The splendid fighting spirit of the Howardites, however went for nought as far as a victory was concerned, for the final whistle soon sounded and proclaimed Hampton the victor by a 29 to 20 score. There was really no individual star among the "Seasiders." since every man played a game that stamped him a co-star. Hargrove led in shooting with six field goals and two free throws. McNichols made three field goals and one free throw. Jones made one field goal and two free throws. Captain Langston, though making no goals, played a great game at guard. Gunn made two field goals, both of which came at a most convenient time. Lambrecht and Simmons, though playing only a short time, performed in excellent style. McCoy was the high point man for Howard, caging four field goals and two free throws. Clarkson, played a fine game, displaying ex- cellent dribbling ability and scor- ing two goals. Sewall got one field goal and Carpentier one goal and two free throws. Bundrant, Howard's only substitute, played a fast heady game.

State Independent Champions of Va. 1923, for the last (4) four years again maintain their right by winning five (5) of the six (6) games played and ticing the other with the strong Va. Union University team who won the C. I. A. A. championship. This game resulted in 0 and 0 tie and found that A. S. C. had one of the strongest teams in the last year during the season A. S. C. piled up a total of 180 points to their opponents 6, an average of 30 points per game. After losing half of the men from 122 squad, Coach Charlie Amntons developed on $_{6}$ of the best teams the (A's) have had in a number of years. The playing of Robinson, Treat, Puller and Brackett was one of the features of the 'A's defense, while Colliers, Gross and Fuller ran wild with the ball at all times. Coach Ammons expects to have a much better team this year and issues a challenge to all teams wanting games. For information, write Wm. D. Pope, business manager, 703 N. Second street e-0, A. S. C. Athletic Club. He who sleeps let him slumber. That's what most folks says, but that's not my sentiments, course it's true in some cases. But I'm thinking about letting norfolk now, in athletics. People here has been sleep for alongtime and i A think it's time for them to wake up Lots o' things could be done if some body had nuf nerve to do so. If any body wants to know anything 'bout anything just let them come and ask me. I had a record second tonge when i was in college, all the professors dis liked me for some reasons 'cause i was very bright in my classes, i could do loth of things for hofflok. I know all the leading sports when i was in the game, i made all french, all-german, or all-american or something like that, anyways, made them every year. I was known far and wide. I was so apt and bright, that my folks started to name me son-shine. I am telling you i was the skunk's scentwow! I remember when we had a game with one of our rivals, i was 'on the bench and the game was seesawin' up and down 'feeld' and the coach was savin' me for the last quarter 'cause iwas known' to turn in a victory. Well the coach finally send me in and just before the game ended the othets quad tried to kick a feel gool and i blocked the ball so hard that i put the kicker out the game and keep the other team from scoring. then' i asked the coach how was that for agood play, he said that was fine 'cause the kicker kick me on the head and broke his feet, Oh boy! I dropped out the other day to see hi school boys practice basket ball and i am telling you they got a lot to learn' bout that sport. I could've helped them a lot, but they might have thing that I know a whole more lot 'bout the game than they do, in fact i do. If they would let me coach the team they would know doubt learn a great deal about the technicks' of the game of basket ball. I was the best that could be found, out in the woods somewhere. Come an and bring on your bull Merrittes, Alex Wilkins, big Brownns and all the rest of the resellers, we want action. Don't we fans, if they can't get nobody to rassel with I'll take them on, I'll all so promise to handle them ruff. You know, i know more than those boys. I will go on with them winners take all. Thats the way i used to always compete, thats why i am working for aliving now. They barred me from competing when i started writing for the papers saying that i am a professional, see i was too good for them and they made that rulling so's to get me out of the game, of course the game is much better now. I wont write any more for this week, cause the boss says i am making too much money. Wouldn't that kill you? i knows whats the matter with him, he thinks i am gonna try and take his job, wich i mightn't do. When i was in the game all my admirers used to call me %2 round BoZo. I was fighting in those days, in my next weeks article i will tell you why they called me %2 round BoZo. Wichita, Kansas Bars "Birth Of Nation." New York, N. Y.-Joint action by a colored newspaper, the Wichita Protest, and the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has resulted in the barring of the "Birth of a Nation" film in Wichita, Kansas, although the film had been screened by the Board of Censors of that State. The exhibitor of the film announced he would seek by legal action to compel the city of Wichita to permit the film to be shown, but Earl C. Elliott, Chicagoland's Wichita Press, is saying that the city ordinance would be enforced if it took the entire police department to do it. "The cruinage is legal and will be enforced, unless there is a court order against it," he said. However, there are, to my mind, no grounds on which a court order against it. The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P., furnished legal and other information on which the fight to bar the film wah made. team 1924, wants games with any semi pro or pro teams in Richmond, Va. This city is a good Base Ball town, so get your data early. For information write, W. A. Smith, manager. FARMERS GATHER AT TUSKEGEE MEET Hundreds Witness Demonstrations In Improved Methods of Agriculture and Home Economics. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Jan. 16. Hundreds of farmers, agriculturalists and others interested in agriculture gathered at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in attendance upon the twenty-third annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which opened here Wednesday morning. The features of the day's program was an address on "Boll Weevil Control" by Colonel Harvie Jordan, St. Matthews, South Carolina, managing director of the American Cotton Association Boll Weevil Control; the welcome address by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Institute, agricultural and industrial exhibits and round table discussions of agricultural problems by the farmers themselves. Dr. Moton's address of welcome was chock full of sane and timely advice. He pointed out the splendid opportunities to buy land in the South; urged that Negro farmers take advantage of these opportunities; advised those going North to retain their real estate holdings fir the South and to utilize a portion of their wages to liquidate all indebtedness on their property "if there happens to be any," stated "that the great majority of Negroes still remain on the farm," and declared that they should put forth an effort to educate their children; to make better homes and to provide wholesome amusement for their children. Colonel Jordan who was the speaker of the day, explained various methods of controlling the boll weevil—the primary method being "balanced farming." "Statistics show," said Colonel Jordan, "300 000 farms operated by colored animals which did not have a single cow, hog of chicken. These isolated farm homes absolutely devoid of food and feed crops or farm animals, except a mule, is a fearful indictment to bring against any man who tills the soil. The boll weevil will not stand for that kind of farming." INDUSTRIAL DEMONSTRATIONS In one corner of the assembly room of the administration building of the mechanical department, the farmers were given instruction in repairing harness, buggy and car trimming; inexpensive methods of making and repairing stove-pipes, pans, dippers, dustpans and cooking utensils. In another, they were watching wagons, buggies and furniture being built, "while you wait," by Tuskegee students. While in another section, classes were being conducted in preparing milk for the market. BETTER HOMES NEEDED. One of the causes of the present agricultural unrest is the need of better homes. The department of Women's Industries showed the farmers and their wives just what better homes meant—as to arrangement, furnishing and conveniences. A five-room cottage properly arranged, furnished and with necessary conveniences was exhibited and its advantages explained. This cottage, though coming up to the requirements of a well-appointed and furnished home, was in the reach of practically everyone who showed it—being nearly but, inexpen- BETTER HEALTH While these demonstrations were in progress, a clinic was being conducted at an improvised health center under the direction of a physician and a registered nurse connected with the Institute health center. Physical examinations of children and adults were given, medical advice given and general health literature distributed. In connection with this phase of the work, a baby clinic was held, instruction in the proper care of babies was given. On the outside of the "health center" was a model porch to be used in treating tuberculosis patients and plans and cost of building it were distributed. AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS In the center of this room were agricultural products and agricultural demonstrations being conducted. While one group was learning to analyze milk, others were observing how biting lice were eradicated from chickens and cattle by using Sodium Fluorid; others, how to construct and use a grain sprouter or how to feed chickens for the best results and so on through the various activities on the farm. CARVER'S PRODUCTS C*NSPICIOUS Consipleious among the exhibits were the famous "Carver Products" comprising the peanut, potato and peanut products. In addition to these, Dr. Carver showed how various waste products could be utilized advantageously, such as fuel bristlettes made of peanut shell, dustwax and turpentine, waste and coal dust. Other exhibits that attracted much attention were those composed of live stock and a chart showing the progress of the club work among Negro boys in Alabama. In the twenty counties in which this work is carried on, there are 143 clubs with an aggregate membership of 2,241 boys, who have raised products valued at $41,671.27. Colored Doctors Claim Unfair Attitude. (Continued from Page One) ment are a number of salaried physiicians whose duties are to treat indigent patients whose circumstances naturally make them charges of the city when sick. No physician is required in this capacity, even the city has a Negro population of more than 55,000, out of which, thru the very natural circumstances of things, there are always the probabilities of arising a proportionately larger number of indigent patients than among the white population. Again, under the health system applied to the public schools, a majority of the health department, no colored physician is used, even the more than six thousand Negro children are given physical examination annually. Plenty of Free Work city of free work But, on one occasion the clinical work such as was conducted at the Community Center for colored people, also an activity of the health department, and one for which no physician's services are paid, the colored doctors, are not only allowed to work, but are expected to willingly volunteer gratious services. Even to this they do no object, as they have stated positively, provided the department would recognize the worth of such the community to the extent of physician's care at least one member of the Physicians Club, either as a director of the Community Center clinic or city physician. As the matters now stand, Negro doctors, being permitted and expected to work in a charitable and unpaid capacity under auspices of the health department and denied the right to receive a numerative service under the same department the doctors feel, they have stated, that this is grossly unfair and is tantamount to a positive refusal of the health bureau to recognize the worth of their services. The health bureau's attitude calculated to elicit their co-operation in work for which an pay is expected. Dr. Schenck, Director of Public Welfare, was interviewed by a representative of the Journal and Guide on this situation this week, and the doctor stated it had been made plain to him through the correspondence of the physicians' club that the colored doctors withdrew their co-operation from the physicians' club because of the reason that it promoted unworthy charity in a number of cases and encroached upon their private practice. They also asked, he said, that a colored physician be employed in the capacity of a regular city physician, in the place of the clinic, on the grounds that it was their belief that a greater benefit would accrue to the colored people thereby. Dr. Schenck said that he would keep it open as long as any colored physicians would give their services there. He charged that the physicians' attitude on the matter of unworthy charity was shocking, and stated that it is to be expected that there will always be some impimpositions that work should not be abandoned on that account. No Money For City Physicians In the matter of a colored city physician, he said that that was something which has occupied his mind for some time, and that in the 1921 budget he had made allowance for employing such a man, but the drastic cut in his budget figures by the city manager had made the city more efficient this year. He felt certain, he said that he would be able to come to this next year. Members of the Physician Club later this week denied that "the promotion of unworthy charity was the principal reason for their non-co-operation with the Community Center clinic, and stated that their views have been fully laid before me." These, they said, included principally and above all the request for a colored doctor on the city's payroll to work among the 55,000 colored population of Norfolk. They will co-operate with such a man, they said he if be placed at the head of the clinic or made a city physician. Norfolk is the city where the man who would be appointed, they said, just so it is a member of their group. The doctors have stated that this is a question of far greater importance than personal recognition to any one man or even to the race as a group, but affects seriously the health status of the people presented a delicate problem, they believe, that greater benefits to the city and to the colored people will occurred thru a colored city physician administering to the poor of his own race. Gomez Calls On Race Business For Solidarity MUST Pool Resources 4. "That every honest man wants to pay his debts. We are greatly indebted to the economic development of our race, and as such, must be willing to pool our resources in order that we may have producing industries, banking shops, shoes, hardware and many like things that other people are producing at a profit. 5. "That we must give better support to the colored press, and remember that they cannot survive on "I thank you." They have given every evidence of their full cooperation with the business men, and therefore, we must make it fully reciprocal.

Warns Against Impositors Asking Money For Prisoners New York, Jan. 4- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue today issued a warning against imposters representing themselves as former members of the 24th Infantry and soliciting money for the men in prison. An inquiry about two such men came from the El Paso, Texas Branch, the names given by the men were not contained in the list of prisoners furnished the N. A. A. C. P. by Warden Biddle. All imposters should be promptly reported and prosecuted. Would Teach Race History In Public Schools (Continued from Page One) growth of understanding and sympathy between the races. There has been close cooperation between the Interracial Commission and the State and local States Public Health, the Y. M. C. A., and the United States Public Health Service. Among the recommendations referred to the Executive Committee to be worked out during the new year were the following: That the study of Negro history be put into the high schools, and the study of race relations into both high schools and colleges; that equitable participation be secured in all school bond issues; that the advantages offered by the Jeanes, Slater and Rosenwald Funds be availed of as widely as possible; and that representation for the race be secured on the State Board of Health. Another important objective is the establishment of a second standardized training college for colored teachers. With regard to the Klan the conference gave out the following statement: "Whereas the purpose of the Ku Klux Klan is to stir up and make permanent race prejudice between the white and Negro races, besides the injustice done to Jews and Catholics; and whereas the existence and methods of the Klan are contrary to the Constitution of the United States and the State of Kentucky, in that they deny the right of every citizen to his life, liberty and property under the protection of the law and the courts, "Therefore, we commend the excellent paper of Judge Hager, read before the Conference, in which he shows that the Klan is treasonable, in that it is contrary to human law as set forth in the constitutions of the United States and of the State of Kentucky, and also contrary to divine law, as set forth in the Holy Scriptures." Another significant declaration was the following: "Resolved, that since neither race, the black no more than the white, wishes racial amalgamation, the misleading phrase 'social equality' should no longer be permitted to hold back the helpful hand of white people from giving fair life opportunity to the Negro."

Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the League said in making the announcement of the meetings: "The great problem among the colored people during 1924 is that of the wise distribution of the Negro migrants on the basis of opportunity for work. It is well for organizations which have an influence in the movement of the migrants may locate where they can get the work best suited to their several abilities and at the same time secure the largest possible income for themselves and families. All of this will tend to improve their economic status; make for better health conditions in their homes and raise the general standard of their family life."

When I began here, besides having no money and very little education, I knew absolutely nothing about truck-gardening. Hoping to get some suggestions, I went to see some of the local men in the business. But from them I got a cold shoulder; they didn't want another man sharing in their trade. They couldn't prevent me from seeing their mistakes, however, and I went ahead determined to profit by them and by experience. Now, while I had had very little schooling, a good deal of my railway experience was in offices, and this led me to pay more attention to the business side of gardening than the other fellows were doing. I soon saw, for example, that they were not catering to their market as they should in order to get the best results. They weren't supplying their customers with the right stuff, in the right quantities, at the right time. As a result, the merchants would buy part of their stuff from out-of-town growers, after which the local gardeners would have difficulty in recovering their trade. My aim is to supply everything the truck market demands, even if I lose money on some of my products. The return for the sweet corn and cauliflower that I raise, for example, is less than the cost of production. Irish potatoes also give little profit, though I raise a few for the very early market. But I supply these products because they help me to maintain my trade. I have found that if I can supply all the garden truck a merchant needs he will continue to buy Glimpsed By Alex J.

War declared between barbers and beauty artists in Chicago, says a report. In so far as we have been able to learn their is harmony between the torsorialists and beauty culturists in Norfolk. It is said, however, that some of the progressive barbers are scouting for lady barbers to work some of the chairs in their shops. A sort of department for ladies is the idea. We do not know just what percentage of women will go to barber shops for hair bobs when these departments open, but we are inclined to the belief that men folks will certainly think they need a hair trim more frequently. They say that in some parts of the country bootleggers are making such huge profits that their homes are gilded with gold knobs. We have not observed any gold door knobs in Norfolk that could be traced to bootleggers' profits, but we do know that the trade is producing some very lucrative side business in our own city. Druggists are selling more hot water bottles than ever. Large oil cans and tin wash boilers are in demand. Princess Anne and Norfolk county ground meal is enjoying a splendid market. Odd pieces of pipe and fittings find a ready sale, and the price of sugar is kept high. We have learned enough now to know that every stout looking man we meet did not naturally grow that way. When some of them unload their inflated cargo, they are as thin as the rest of us. We wonder just how handy it will be to carry these rubber bottles when it becomes too warm for overcoats. --- --- By Riley Rogers Of Lawrence, Kansas In an interview with Frank M. Chase, in Farm and Fireside In the February number of Farm and Fireside, Riley Rogers, a Nec ro farmer of Kansas, will tell in an interview with Frank M hase how he made $6,000 last car on a 12-acre farm.

The cash receipts from last year were slightly more than 000. It has not only supported large family and provided for old age, but has also provided university education for my six children.

Jordan painted and hung a sign for Charles S. Carter some time ago. One day this week, when he was passing Carter's a strong gust of windore the sign from its support and came very close to landing it on Jordan's head. When the sign crashed to the sidewalk right in front of its maker's feet, he stood agast, his mind ruminating over the narrow escape he had, and how was it that it fell just at the time he was passing. The Calling Club of the Lady Elks are going to stage a Paper Dress Revue at the Elks Hall Tuesday night. The ladies promise a real "stunt" night for all who attend, and it appears that The Daughter "Bills" are going to give us some of the classy entertaining that their men folks are famous for. At any rate, we shall see, what we shall see. The Musicians Union began their three nights a week dancing classes at the Phyllis Wheatley Garden last Monday night. The movement is fostered by all the musicians of the city as a body, and this being so, there should never be any lacking for the very best of music at these affairs. And that is just what the boys promise to give. The daily papers have been telling us that Negroes who left the South for the North and West last summer are falling over each other in their mad rush to return home. We spent a few hours around the principal passenger terminals in the city this week, knowing as we did, that some of the migrants passed thru this city on their exodus, we thought we might see familiar faces on the return. None did we see, however. The travel of trace people was slight in this direction on the days we observed, and the noses we missed out of Norfolk last spring Norfolk Journal and Guide We butted into a new one this week. Often we have been accosted and asked, "A little spirits today?" But on a cold night this week a young man stopped us and inquired, "Any coal tonight." We failed to grasp his meaning and of me, and of nobody else, year after year. Cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers are my specialties. Early cabbage is the best money-maker of all, and this is mainly because I get it on the market very early, usual before any is shipped in. Next to cabbage, my most profitable crop is early tomatoes. Practically all of the stuff is sold to local stores, to which I make daily deliveries. I have never made any effort to develop a retail trade. Probably that could be made into a considerable business of itself, if I had the time to devote to it. As it is, I am often kept busy evenings and holidays waiting on people who drive out here for fresh vegetables. The lots on which I began, comprise about six acres. For several years I rented the land, and then bought it; the rest of my land, which was purchased later, is a separate piece just out of town. The buildings on the original place were poor, but I did not let that fact bother me. I knew that whatever success I had would depend on other things than the quality of the house and barn. About four and one-half acres are watered by an irrigation system. For lack of funds I was long time getting this. With it I can raise two to four crops a year on the same ground. It helps me to have a continuous flow of products to my market. From this land I obtain considerably more than from my other 8 acres. Last year its products brought $4,500, or $1,000 an acre. Of all that the little place has done for me and my family, I think I most appreciate the fact that my children have been educated. I have four boys and two girls, and all have been graduated from the University of Kansas. One of the boys is now a practising physician, while another is a pharmacist. Sumner, the youngest, is working into the business here with me, and will carry on what I have started. answered, "It certainly is." "Oh, I mean do you want to buy some coal," he said. "Coal," we answered, "where is the coal." Out from under agray coat came out about a peck of coal, neatly bagged." This was too much for us and we passed on. Dr. Redmond Backs Fundamentalist (By The Associated Negro Press) Ill., Ill.-Rev. John B. Redmond, minister of St. Mark Methodist Church, Chicago, is being urged to continue his fight for more just representation in the business organization of the church. At the General Conference held in Des Moines, Iowa, 1920, Dr. Redmond was one of the progressive leaders for recognition. He, with Dr. W. W. Laus, and others, insisted on a practical "show down" on the subject of bishops, with the result that two were elected. In an exclusive interview for the Associated Negro Press, Dr. Redmond delicared that the church no where nearly gives the kind of representation that should be accorded the more than 300,000 colored members of the denomination. Dr Redmond also favors another area and another colored bishop, and he has other progressive opinions that will be placed before the General Conference, to be held in Springfield, Mass, in May. On the "modernist" ideas now creating world wide interest by discussion in the East, Dr. Redmond says he clings to the fundamental beliefs of the Christian Church, and proceeds to back his beliefs with arguments that merit serious consideration. "The finite mind cannot begin to comprehend the infinite mind; the measure is in no sense the same," says the Chicago minister. "Why should there be wonderment at the things of the Spirit? Not many years ago we would have wondered about automobiles, electric lights, telegraphs, sub-marines, airplanes and radio. Today we accept them as a matter of course, and yet they are products of the finite mind. The ways of God are past understanding." M. E. Ministers Refuse Klan Money (Kelley News Service) Philadelphia, Jan.-Bishop Joseph F.

The aim of the League is for the specific purposes of establishing business, financing business, encouraging business, and multiplying business to be controlled and conducted by colored women. The achievements of our women in the business field are well known. The "punch" which women put into anything, from a washub to an adding machine, is ample proof of their adaptation to all safe and sane business. Their place in the California Senator and Presidential Aspirant. Asserts, "I Stand For A Man to Be Judged As a Man." Chicago, Ill., Jan.—(A. N. P.)—Senator Hiram Johnson, a candidate for president of the United States before an audience of more than 2,000 people at Wendell Phillips High School, Friday night, Jan. 18, declared himself on the citizenship rights of colored America. "I stand for a man to be judged as a man, and the standard is the same for one set of men as another." declared Senator Johnson. Continuing, he said: "If a man is good enough to fight for the principles of the government of the country, he is good enough to take part in the government of that country." Speaking on Southern representation in the conventions, he said it was wrong in principle and that if he was made president he would appoint Northern colored men to office. Senator Johnson made two addresses in Chicago, one on the North Side, coming direct from there to the Wendell Philips meeting. It was after ten o'clock when he arrived with a group of friends and a police escort. He was escorted to the stage by the reception committee of which James Brewington was chairman. ABBOTT SPEAKS Prior to the arrival of Senator Johnson there were several speakers, including Rev. A. B. Walker and Robt. S. Abbott of the "Chicago Defender." Dr. Walker's address was keyed to the new racial consciousness of the people. Mr. Abbott who made the most effective address of his life, so regarded by many, made an impassioned plea for equal rights for all Americans, regardless of color; he spurned the folly of racial inferiority, and pointed to Brazil where he recently visited as one of several countries where people live without thought of color line. Sen. Johnson arrived during Mr. Abbott's discussion of discrimination in California against colored Americans. Speaking of the opportunities given foreigners of all countries, Mr. Abbott turned to Senator Johnson and declared: "We have come to the time when any candidate for president must declare his belief in the rights of humanity and we ask for the same opportunity that is given the Japanese in your state and even more, for we are American citizens." Senator Johnson says he proposes to support the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and the Soldiers Bonus. He was applauded extensively on his arrival, during his address, and at the finish.

Colored Teachers of State Address Resolutions to White Bodies Seeking Remedial Measures For Poor Schools WestPalm Beach, Fla, Jan.—(A. N. P.)—An earnest effort is being made by Negro educational groups to get in touch with similar bodies among the whites in this state in order to effect a sort of cooperation that will have power to improve the facilities for education among the colored people of the state. During their recit sessions in this city, the Florida State Teachers' Association, composed of colored workers, drew up sets of resolutions and declarations, one addressed to the colored workers for education in the state stressing the need for a proper attitude and preparation for the great work of training children, and another to the Florida Educational Association, composed of white workers. These latter letters were in the form of an appeal to the white people of education and influence to get together in an effort to see that the Negro got a square deal, both for his own good and for the good of the South and country. It read in part; listing some of the evils of the Negro school system: "The short school term not only in the rural districts but in many of the cities, the one-sided enforcement of the compulsory school law, the lack of provision for the education of teachers, there being not a single, standardized, four year accredited high school for Negroes in the State of Florida." Further, the communication reads: "There are practically no provisions for the vocational training of the boys and girls who are to be the backbone of the South's future industrial system. In an age when science is paramount in every department of human endeavor, there is not an equipped laboratory in the state for the teaching of physics, chemistry and biology to Negroes. Physical education is totally neglected in Negro schools. Practically no provision is made for recreation outside of school hours, for medical and dental supervision, and for other means of increasing human efficiency which have long since passed the state of luxuries in any enlightened commonwealth. "With the meagre facilities and means at our disposal, we are deliberately teaching our boys and girls that they are Americans, one hundred per cent, and to the manner born. That all the rights and privileges that accrue from that priceless heritage is theirs, to enjoy the fruit of honest toil, to live in decency and safety under the protection of the law, to have an equal share in the provisions for richer and fuller life provided by the municipalities which his parents' taxes help to establish and maintain; and to cooperate with the best and broadest minds in his community and State for the furtherance of those priceless and exalted principles of human freedom REVIEW and COMMENT upon which our common country has been established. "Firmly believing that education is the only way by which the Negro can help the South to work out its destiny, we implore you, the highest exponents of it, to further in every way a liberal education. This is not a question to be settled on the political stump, or wholly in the legislature halls. It must find its surest settlement around the firesides, in our churches, and in the class rooms where you preside over the destiny of the South and of our common country." This letter is signed by the members of the board of the association, and Prof. J. N. Crooms, President of the Florida Teachers' Association. Suggestions for More Co-Operative Activitv. By A. H. DOLES, Zuni, Va. As the Colored Race develops in courteous bearing, honest dealings and stability of character there will be a favorable increase in Caucasian sentiment. This favorable sentiment should not be hypocritically sought, but it is absolutely necessary for harmonious progress and mutual welfare. There can be no ideal community unless characterized by mutual helpfulness, uniformity of good purpose and moral excellency. Let us not as a race, expect too rapid a condescension in the absence of well placed confidence. Remember, that confidence and respect will be evident to the extent that the masses have demonstrated their worthiness and stability. A small percentage of worthy citizenship will not command major confidence. Here, then, is a problem to be solved and its completed solution put into suitable practice by sincere and intensive co-operation of those who have at heart the general Announcement is made that Senator Oscar Underwood, Democrat, Alabama and presidential aspirant, will launch a nation-wide campaign to drive the Ku Klux Klan out of politics. He is credited with having the intention of demanding the insertion of an anti-klan plank in the platform of the National Democratic party. Every true American would not only welcome an elimination of the sinister influences of this hooded organization from politics but our entire national life. Unfortunately the Alabama Senator overlooked a brilliant and psychological opportunity to open fire on the klan, beginning right in his home state. At Tuskegee in Alabama last summer knights of the Invisible Empire with hooded caps and flowing robes paraded in front of the United States Veterans' hospital for Negro soldiers for the express purpose of intimidating and driving out Negro attaches of this institution. If Senator Underwood had come out at that time with a denunciation of his home state klan and its unlawful activities, he would now be thought of as a hero of law enforcement. But the Alabaman, who has recently become embittered against the klan, at that time thru his tacit silence acquiesced in the cattlawry. However, a change of heart is welcomed, even if it it is belated. The (New York) Amsterdam News advances a new as well as interesting argument in favor of the soldiers' bonus when it comments: "Out of the thirty dollars per month paid to men in the service, allotments and insurance took by deduction between twenty-one and twenty-two dollars, leaving the paltry sum of eight or nine dollars for thirty days' work.. Both the allotment and the insurance were supposed to be optional, but in actual practice were compulsory. Consequently, not alone did the Government draft men into the service for a very small pay, but in addition it dictated to them as to how the paltry sum paid Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials College Professor Wants University Made Melting Pot for World Nationals College Professor Wants University Made Melting Pot for World Nationals well bearing and prosperity of the whole people. I would venture the assertion that too much stress put upon race, in many instances works detrimentally to co-operative activity. Every sane man knows that the Negro and Caucasian are two separate and distinct races and in matters of common associability must forever so remain. That is just as it should be. But we are all American citizens, and where as there should be an enexorable determination to hold on with grim tenacity to the idea of developing the race into admirable citizenship, the goal, as in the meaning of the National Constitution, should be the general welfare and moral happiness of mankind There is no discriminative language contained in the preamble to the constitution of the United States, and if the Negroes are people, they are also, a part of the Country's citizenry. Citizenship for the Negro does not mean a premature assumption by him of the burdens of government. Let all good Americans work together, pressing forward with steady tread, and with earnest endeavor to perpetuate the principles of good government and mark the paths of peace.

We hold that any government that elects to force men into service in time of war, thereby taking them away from their ordinary pursuits of life, certainly ought to be willing to assume the obligation of caring for their dependents if they are killed while in the service. "However, all of this may have been necessary to win the war. Now that the war is over, the Government should refund the money it took from its soldiers under the guise of War Risk Insurance, and we present this as a new argument for the payment of a bonus. It makes little difference whether the refund is called a bonus, adjusted compensation or just a plain debt." * * * Judge Henry A. Grady of the Superior Court of North Carolina at Raleigh has publicly admitted that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan and at present the Grand Dragon of the local organization. Judge Grady in making the announcement strongly defended the order asserting "that its principles are those recognized everywhere as American." Now if Judge Grady can prevail upon other klansmen to be as bold as he, come out and declare themselves in the open, he will have rendered a distinct service to his country even as an invisible knight. There would be but little in the klan to fear, if its members would follow the example of the North Carolina Grand Dragon and themselves turn on the light of publicity. Editor Joseph Bibb of the Chicago Whip, regarded as the prince of militancy in Negro journalism, is under the lash, altho we haven't yet observed it in bold faced type in the Chicago Whip. Somebody else is doing the lashing this time and it appears that editor Bibb is to be on the receiving end for some of the same kind of stuff that he is wont to shoot at others. Anyhow, editor Ben Davis of the Atlanta Independent, who too can dip his pen in virulent ink when the occasion for it arises, in last week's issue of his great journal delivered himself of a scathing of the editor of the Chicago Whip Beliot, Wis., Jan.—(C. S.)—A proposal to make Beliot College in institution for bringing together representatives of all the races of the world in an attempt to effect racial understanding which would make for world peace has been made to members of the Board of Trustees by Dr. George L. Collie, dean of the college, who is a widely known anthropologist. Dr. Collie's plan is to bring selected students here from all the races and sub-divisions of races. It would constitute an ethnological laboratory with a student personnel as follows: *Americans, 40 per cent; Europeans, 20 per cent; South Americans, 10 per cent; and Africans, 10 per cent.* Youth Named As Porter's Slayer (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) Duncan, Ok., Jan. 10—Marcin Kineannon, 20, member of a well-known Marlow family, fired the shot that killed Robert Journeau at a hotel in Marlow, Ok., the night of December 17, Walter O'Quinn, clerk at the hotel, testified at the preliminary haring of Kineannon and seven other men charged with the shooting. O'Quinn testified Kineannon fired while Journegan and Eliza Tandy, alleged member of a mob that sought to capture the man were fighting in a small room abutting the lobby of the hotel. The witness said Journegan inspected Gandy across a table and Kineannon fired as soon as the consultants were separated. The mob went to the hotel declaring its intention to lynch Journegan, who had defied an unwritten law of the city permitting no no to remain in Marlow after randown. that caused the public to "sit up and take notice" even if it has no effect upon editor Bibb. The Washington Tribune, albo with little less virulence than its contemporary, The Atlanta Independent, lashed out at editor Fibb with a thesis of unassailable facts. From the Washington Tribune, we quote in part: "The Whip of Chicago has been looked upon as one of the most militant papers of the race. It has consistently waged a strenuous fight against the dives and the graft in connection therewith, in the second ward of Chicago. This is the ward in which the most of the Colored people of the city live. "The Whip has censured and condemned the Republican party for its peridy toward the Negro. It has even printed strong editorials against the present administration and with a factor in the election of Mayor Dever, a Democrat in Chicago, against Hale Thompson. However, we notice that since the death of the late Hale H. Brown, who had a political appointment under the Labor Department, that Editor Bily of The Whip, seems to have been listening to a political buzzing in his bonnet and the editorials of the one militant Whip, read thusly: "President Coolidge seems to be willing to help the black people, and when the confusion of political intrigue is stricken out we believe that he will show us more consideration than his predecessor of it. He has shown a willingness to recognize us already. When no man knows what is in the heart of his brother, we do not believe that hatred and prejudice for his fellow man ranks in the heart of Mr. Coolidge. We are doubtful of Mr. Hiram Johnson. "This is a complete surrogate from the position of The Whip of some months ago, when it printed the editorial entitled, 'Beware of the Ides of March.'" "The former militancy of Editor Bibb, may be accurately gouged from a few extracts from his editorials. On October 14, 1922, he said: (Continued On Page 10) The Police Dragnet RHEUMATISM If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT.

What was described as a friendly argument between Edward Tilley and Ella Turner, 1225 Chapel street, by attorney Robert Stith, who was representing the pair in Police Court Monday morning resulted in the man and woman receiving a fine of $10 and 5.00 respectively. The policeman testified that he was sure that it was a fight, he had intervened in, but the defendants maintained that it was nothing more than a friendly bout. John Smith, James Riddick, Willie Keeling and John Brockin pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful gaming and paid a fine of $3.00 each. $ $ $ Accused of Attempting To Pick Pockets Thomas Smith and George Martin were arrested by detective Dickens and charged with being common thieves. The detective alleged that he saw the men board a street care at the intersection of Church and Main streets, going east. They got off at the Union Station, he claimed, and immediately boarded a crowded car going in the opposite direction. In this car, it was alleged, one of the men was seen to insert his fingers in the hip pocket of a passenger. The passenger made no outay and nothing was stolen, the evidence disclosed. The man so accused staunchly maintained his innocence asserting that he was a performer and engaged at the Palace Theatre. He also accused the detective of striking him without cause, stating that when he attempted to reach his hand into his pocket for his identification card, he was struck in the face by the detective. Attorney J. Eugene Diggs, representing the defendants, scored the detective for what he termed an assault upon the defendant. No testimony was introduced to connect the men with any thing criminal and they were dismissed. Frank Hill, Wesley Smith, Ernest Beasley and William J. Parker, arrested at 1016 Church St., paid a fine of $2.00 costs for unlawful gaming. Fined For Fighting Nora Skinner and Sutton Washington, engaged in a fistic encounter in which the woman was using the man quite roughly, according to testimony of the officer who arrested the pair at a house on C avenue.

A woman was the complainant against Fred, but an unwilling one. She stated that when she procured his arrest, she was angry with him and did not mean to do him harm. The arresting officer endeavored to prove that the woman was a common prostitute and supporting Wiggins. ```markdown ``` Frank Sears, Robert Carson, Willie Reid and Doc Wright paid a fine of $3.00 and costs on charges of unlawful gaming. $ $ $ Enters Man's Room, Is Covered With Rifle.

According to testimony adduced against Whitley in Police Court, who was charged with house breaking and larceny, he forced the door of Jones' room, entered and helped himself to Jones' personal belongings. On the way out on the stairs he was met by Jones, who inquired whom Whitley was looking for. Whitley Whitley was endeavoring to fashion a plausible answer, Jones espied a pair of his shoes under Whitley's arm. He invited the intruder back into the room where he leveled his rifle on him and sent another man for the police. An officer arrived and put Whitley under arrest. The accused made no attempt to deny his guilt, but thru the efforts of attorney Robert Stith, who was representing him, the housebreaking charge was dismissed and Whitley drew a fine of $10.00 and costs with ten days in jail on the larceny charge. Would Wipe Out The Long Brothers. M. C. Collins swore out a warrant against James Long charging him with threatening his life with a knife. During the hearing, Long had as witnesses his two brothers. The men charged and countercharged each other with attempting to do bodily harm. Collins asserted that Long threatened him. Long declared that Collins was the aggressor with a knife. He said the Collins had informed his friends that he intended to kill all of the Long brothers, if he had to get them one at a time. Justice Spinide after hearing this conflicting testimony docketed a charge of disorderly conduct against Collins also, and fined both of the men 85.00 and costs. Disorderly Conduct Commillius Black was accused of using vile language toward a waitress in the New York Cafe on Church street and drew a fine of 85.00 and costs. Fined For Cutting Gus Perry drew a fine of $25.00 on a charge of cutting Mamie Holden. Gus alleged in his testimony that he accompanied Mamie to her home Saturday night, while she was intoxicated. 4Sunday morning, he went back to see her, and an argument between them ensued, when the woman attempted to attack him with a razor. He claimed that it was while he was taking the weapon away from Mamie her fingers were cut. Mamie denied all of this stating that Gus came to her room Sunday morning and deliberately stabbed her in the hand after an argument. Gus testified that the woman is in the habit of getting drunk every Saturday night and looking him up, and for many reasons he is fearful that her "running" after him is going to lead to more serious trouble. Mamie offered testimony to show that Gus does the "running" after her. SHORT CUTS Lincoln News Service This is the time for a "We did it" chorus, rather than for an "I did it" solo.

Shoots In Defense Of His Mother PRESIDENT NEWS SESSION Batesville, Ala., Jan. 11—Shooting in defense of his mother Finnie Miller, aged 23, today shot Sam Brown, aged 55, with a 16-gunshot gun. The lead entered the right side of Brown's face, breaking his law and lodging in his head. Miller surrendered and was placed in jail. The fight is believed to have started at a holiday camp game at the residence—a of a neighbor of the two men. Miller is said to have first shipped Brown's face. He ran home followed by Brown, who is alleged to have surged him and family. When Miller's mother came to her kitchen door to demonstrate Brown cursed her and threatened her with a brick. Miller fired over his mother's shoulder from their kitchen. Physicians who attended the wounded man say that he has a slight chance for recovery. ```markdown ``` A Crown of Beauty No longer need you with for beautiful hair.

GREAT LOSS IN POOR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE So To Educational Progress. ‘The following excerps are from an address by Leo M.

In a recent study of county training schools in the South, it was found that the chil dren were present, on the average 39 days out of 160 days, and ab- sent 71 days, Many schools oper with only twenty per cent of their enrollment for the session, “The question of how to,go abou securing regular attendance is en: titled to careful consideration. It is our custom to take stock fre- quently of educational needs and achievements. We have organized our forees to build and equip school plants, and great is ou pride in the Rosenwald buildings in the counties and the splendid brick buildings going up vers year in our towns and cities. We have organized our forces to trair teachers and are continually urging the legislature to provide a norma school for Negro teachers. In ad dition to this we have given muck attention to the establishment anc organization of summer normals We have urged the appointment of Jeanes agents and supervisors for the rural distriets and encour aged supervision by principals in our larger schools, and we know the excellent effecis of supervision But it is not enough that we should require, for a strong schoo system, adequate school plants trained teachers, and supervision; a fourth requirement is faithfu attendance of all children of schoo { age.” WILSON Wilson, N.

Chicago, Il —Having for its supe port the contention that as most of the former slaves are now aig and that Emancipation celebrations only serve to emphasize the belief; so generally entertained by the de- tractors of the race that we are not far enough removed from slav- ery and that our period of. training jin citizenship bas: been’ too short ‘to justify our full patticipation: in ‘the affairs of state, and national importance, a movement is on foot to discourage the future holding of these celebrations. Tt has also been pointed out that the average colored etizen of tadey has enough weight to carry. without being further handicapped by the annual reminder, ini the form of a brass band and 2 batbecue bef, shoat or lamb, that Jess than a cen tury ago his progenitors _ were slaves. That the emancipation of the slaves, vas also the industrial emancipation ofthe poor whites of the South has also, been considered, and it is thought that unless fu- ture celebrations can-be made joint affairs, the custom might as’ well be placed in the: discard, « Let, the money raised for “celebrations” be noted for the building and mainten- ance of a home for the aged ex- slaves, if any of them are in des- titute circumstances. Orating and parading do not help these old peo- ple, and but few of the younger ygenerations are interested in the “Emancipation Day Celebrations.” Colored Girl To Be Valedictorian ee | (Kelley News Service) New York, Jan.—Miss Alberta Gaines, a young, colored girl will ‘be the valedictorian of the gradu- ating class of January, 1924, -at the Flushing High School, leading ‘the class of more than one hun- ‘dred in scholarship record, for the entire four year course, with an average grade of 88.93 per cent.,; According to Warren Read, head ‘of the English Departments and faculty adviser, Miss Gertrude Man- ders will be salutatorian, - receiy- ing second ‘honor with an average grade of 85.79 per cent. ©...

The Portsmouth Teachers' Association met in the Norcom auditorium on last Friday evening with Miss Fannie Mae Colling, the president, presiding. The usual order of opening was observed, after which the president presented Mrs. Bessie P. Harris of the Mt. Herman school. Mrs. Harris gave a very interesting address on the subject, "Modern Methods of Teaching Arithmetic." The address was interesting and very practical. Mrs. Grace Jenkins was next presented. She had asked some of her pupils to volunteer to come to school that night, and many responded. With these she had a demonstration lesson showing how arithmetic is taught in primary grades. Mrs Jenkins is putting into practice the modern methods spoken of by Mrs. Harris and her class on a whole showed remarkable ability in solving and analyzing problems. A vote of appreciation and thanks was tendered to Messidmes Harris and Jenkins, for their excellent work. Miss Colding spoke of the meeting of the Tidewater Teachers' Association, which is to be held with the Union High School in Hampton, on Feb. 22. She reminded them of the excellent record of attendance which the Portsmouth Teachers' Association had always made and asked a hundred per cent representation at the Hampton meeting. Mrs Estelle Elliott, who will be the acting president in the absence of Prof. Lee, told of the work of the program committee which is leaving nothing undone which will add to the success of the meeting. Two members of the Norcom faculty have promised parts on the program. They are Mrs. M. A. Lightner, who will lead the discussion, "Problem and Project Method in Teaching Geography", and Mrs. G. S. Jenkins, who will discuss, "Methods of Teaching Primary Arithmetic". Prof. George H. Reynolds who is to be principal of the new Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk has been asked to deliver the main address.

The final report of the quota allotted to colored people to raise will be made Sunday night. was pink and white. The parlor was turned into a real toyland, and playground for the little hostess and her friends. The victoria was also used to aid their pleasure. When they were all seated on the robe that was spread in the parlor, they looked like little butterflies on a rose bush. The little hostess gowned in a soft white dress with ribbon streamers, that was sent her by her mother from New York, she looked like a little fairy, and was as busy as could be entertaining and receiving the many beautiful present brought her. The dining room was very pleasing to the eyes of the little ones, for its decorations were twelve pretty baby dolls caught with pink ribbon, suspended from a cupid that stood in the center of a beautiful birthday cake, which hore two candles. The cover for the table was a hand made foreign one. The dolls were given the little one as souvenirs. Mints, cream and cake were served to the guests and their mothers. The party was enjoyed by both. These present were little Kate Baker, Mary Elouise Norcum, Louise Hodges, Louise and Laura Ellott, Bessie Watkins, Mamie Boll, Regina Holmes, Virginia Duhston, Edna Reid, Fannie Jordan, William Brown, John D.

Of forty-six members enrolled forty-five were present to greet Prof. Connor in his arrival. The work was begun with few remarks by Prof. Connor. Then followed a discussion of the questions which had been previously assigned to various members of the class. Miss Eiffie M. Bullock's report showed the growth of internationalism by tracing the development of international law. Mrs. J. Willis by citing comparisons form General History and present conditions showed that the U. S. will be a long lived nation. Prof. S. H. Clarke gave a most interesting talk on the Constructive Legislative measure enacted during the last Wilson Administration and during the last Legislature of Virginia. Among the former were the Underwood Tariff Bill 17th Amendment, Self Government of Phillippines, $35,000,000,000 appropriation for developing Alaska from the interior to the coast, the 18th and 19th Amendments. Among the latter were the Compulsory Education Law, Highway Department. At this point the Towner-Sterling Educational Bill was discussed, also Hon. St. George Tuchek's address concerning it. Miss Emma Rogers read a very interesting paper in answer to the question, "Why has a Curriculum especially adapted to the education of women not been worked out? Do you think that in large cities special boys' and girls' high schools will become numerous? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such schools?" The paper will be published in these columns later. Other participants on the program were Misses Poland, Brothers, Harris and Prof. J. W. Baker. Their work, was very good. At the conclusion of the reports Prof. Connor gave a resume of the work of the day and then gave the examination for which the class had been preparing since its organization. It was a True-False Test, consisting of 35 statements. The class awaits with interest and anxiety the next meeting with Prof. Connor when we shall learn "if we have passed."

Wilson, the Sunday school Supt., Mr. T. W. Newbie had charge of the Sunday School. The pastor preached a very interesting and helpful sermon at eleven o'clock. At 3 P. M., a very unique service was conducted by the group of leaders of the "Flowers of Emanuel," the occasion being the installing of a Baptismal Fountain in the church. This work was done by an organization of little children ranging in ages from three, to eight years old. This makes Emanuel the first and only church in Virginia to have such an equipment for Baptismal purposes. The Fountain is of a very beautiful polished marble stone with a covered bowl. The A. C. E. Leagues were attended well, considering the condition of the weather. At 7:30 P. M., the Rev. J. D. Wilson, of Washington, D. C., preached a most helpful sermon. Rev. Wilson is the son of Mr. J. T. Wilson and a product of Emanuel church. The pastor will preach next Sunday morning, and at 7:30 P. M., the Rev. Dr. J. A. Young pastor of St. Johns Church, Norfolk, will preach, accompanied by his excellent choir. At the same hour Dr. L. Berry will preach at St. John's Church, accompanied by his choir, this choir is under the direction of Prof. Hiram Simmons. In fact it is an exchange of pulpits and choirs between the two pastors. The membership of each is urged to stay at their respective churches to greet the visiting ministers and choirs. A large audience is expected at Emanuel to hear this great pulpithe, the very popular pastor of St. John's church, Norfolk. Dollar Money is being asked for now by the pastor, and members are urged to pay now. A hearty welcome awaits you at 'Old Finanuel." Schools Hold A Joint Meeting The auditorium of the I. C. Norcom School was taxed to its capacity Thursday, Jan. 17th, when the I. C. Norcom and Chestnut St schools held their regular monthly meeting. Approximately 375 persons were present. After the regular business of the meeting was attended to, a program consisting of the following numbers was rendered. Vocal solo, Mrs. Lillian B. Jones; report of the president, Blanche K. Thomas, who was elected delegate to the State Teachers' Association; vocal solo, R. E. Ceckurm; remarks by the principal Prof. W. E. Ridkii; physical culture demonstration by pupils of 7th grade, led by Miss Mary Dunston. Opening prayer scripture reading and benediction by Rev. Miller. After this excellent program, the patrons from each class were then counted to determine which class should receive the handsome banner made and presented to the school by the president of the league. Owing to the large number of pupils in some rooms, and the small numbers in others, it was decided to award the banner on a percentage basis. Also, as the first grades had such large numbers, it was decided to have a special banner for this grade. The winners of these banners for this month will be announced at the earliest possible date. Each banner is made of a beautiful shade of blue, attractively trimmed with gold fringe, and will bear a suitable inscription. The lettering will be done by Alvin Wilkins, one of the pupils.

REVIEW AND COMMENT (Continued from page 7) "From the most recent developments in the political world, one conclusion must fasten itself in the minds of all black people, and that is that the Republican party is no longer "the ship for us." We have been disappointed by the policies of the Harding Administration and we have learned that in national politics we must adopt new plans and use different tactics." If editor Bibb secures the political berth made vacant by the death of the late Phil H. Brown, the future editorial policy of the Whip will be interesting to observe. Under the caption "Joe Bibb" The Independent says: We understand that Editor is a candidate for the job as Commissioner of Conciliations. The position requires a man eminently fitted, technically and scientifically, a statistician and political economist of no mean ability.¹ After expressing doubt as to Editor Bibb's fitness for the position, but granting that he may has well fitted for it as was the use Mr. Brown, this journal continues: Rev. Stith wishes it known that Sunday evening services will be regularly conducted at 7:30 p. m. and friends of the community and vicinity are cordially invited to attend this and other services of the church.¹ On Monday evening, January 28, at 8:30 m., a musical and literary program will be rendered in the pediatrorium of the school for the benefit of the First Baptist Building Fund. A full attendance of friends is respectfully solicited. GILMERTON Rev. A. S. Lomax, pastor, who recently was called, has accepted and the church is taking on new life.

The Sunday School elected Mr. Lewis as Superintendent and the Missionary Circle elected Mrs. Ransome as president. Mrs. Clara Harrell was elected secretary. The B. Y. P. U. is doing a good work under Mr. Lewis, Jr. Rev. Lomax will be here Sunday and will preach at the morning services subject, "Touching the Bones of Elisha." He will also preach the missionary sermon. A special paper will be read by Mr. Davis, of Truxton, to the B. Y. P. WEST NORFOLK The West Norfolk Black Sox will meet next Wednesday night at the club house for the purpose of arranging for the base ball team. All players and those wishing to join the team for a try-out are urged to attend the meeting. —Mr. Junius Haggans spent last Monday in Norfolk on business. —Mr. Freddie Powell spent last Sunday in Churchland. —Mr. Johnie Edwards is home visiting his mother here.

Smith, preached an abel sermon. At 5:30 the B. Y. P. U. rendered a fine program. The pastor preached again at night. —Rev. J. C. Jones, of Staunton, Va., is slowly improving. A crowded house was in evidence at Zion Bethel Church at all services Sunday, which event was the returning of the pastor, who has been absent on a vacation. All were pleased to see him. He preached a strong sermon of surpassing excellence. Another strong sermon was delivered at night. The Willing Workers' will meet at the home of Mrs. Henrietta Allen, Thursday night, Parker and Pine Streets. The church is planning to do a much greater work this year.

Editor Bibb has consistently fought the Republicans, from the ward-heeler to the President of the United States. He is always against the organization's candidate. " " "The only National Committee man the race has had, Mr. Bibb has cursed him out and called him everything except a child of God without one iota of proof of the charges alleged. There is not a race man in public life but what Joe Bibb has not cursed out, and disagreed from him. If there is one man he has ever said a good word for we make an apology. " "I would be proper and sitting him to ask the Democrites for a job, but it is entirely inconsistent for him to ask the Republicans for a place. If there is a living man in America, white or black, Joe Bibb likes, he is not to be discovered. This is a severe arraignment directed against any man. "Breath there a man with soul so callose-if he be permitted to paraphrase the immortal lines of the post-stat for other men he has never a good word said," as is charge against Editor Bidd by the Atlanta independent. A beautiful wedding was solenized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Q. C. Vines Sunday January 20, when their daughter Golina, became the bride of Mr. Richard Kemp.

ISRAEL SAVED AT THE RED SEA. Ex. 12: 37-18: 27. Golden Text.- Jehovah is my strength and song, And he is be- come my salvation. Ex. 15: 2. If The Children of Israel Cross the Red Sea. Ex. 14: 21, 22, 23. As God used natural means (the various plagues) to effect, the escape of the Israelites from the hand of Pharaoh, so at the Red Sea he made use of a strong east wind, blowing all night to lay hage a broad various plagues (to effect the escape of the Israacites from the hand of Pharoah, so at the Red Sea he made use of a strong east wind blowing all night to lay base a broad strip of the sea Rev. J. E. Briggs bottom." "Until I had no conception of how easily this could be done; but our engineers on Lake Erie find that a southwest storm will blow the water down at Tel-ele eight feet and make it eight feet higher at Buffalo; while a strong wind in other direction will produce an opposite effect—a total variation of about sixteen feet being produced under varying conditions." - G. F. Wright. Jehovah, by the strength of his might, made the sea dry land, and divided the waters. The waters were a wall unto them on their right hand on their left. "The picture of the crossing carries eternal truth for us all. The way of safety does not open until we are hemed in, and Phoroha's chariots are almost come up. It often leads into the very thick of what we deem perils. It often has to be ventured in the dark, and with the wind in our faces. But if we tread it in faith, the fluid shall be made solid, and the pathless passable, or any other apparent impossibility be realized, before our confidence shall be put to shame, or evil reach us." Maclaire. 2. The Host of Pharoah Destroyed—Ex. 14: 13-29. "We wonder that when the Egyptians reached the sea, and saw what they did see, they were not deterred from proceeding further. But fury and disappointment would possess them, as, in the very hour of their fancied triumph, they saw their prey thus clude them. Was Phoroah and his mighty army to be thus mocked and set at noughth thus suddenly reined up and baffled? What would Egypt think of their warriors? if setting out on such an expedition, they returned humiliated and empty-handed? At all hazards Israel must be pursued. There was a chance of getting thru. The distance was short; the way lay open; if the Israelites had crossed, so might Egyptians. On this chance, on the spirit of gambling, they staked everything. What have have these same motives—a false sense of honor, a spirit of uncalculating rage, the headstrong gambling disposition—played in the history of the world." (James Orr.) All the horses, chariots, and horsemen of Pharoah pursued after Israel, even into the midst of the sea. But Jehovah discomfited the host of the Egyptians. God really fought for Israel and against the Egyptians, and overthrew them in the midst of the sea. "The Egyptians had their best armaments, with them-their strongest chariots, their finest horses, their most skillful men, and all was in splendid battle array. And yet their chariots drove heavily. Why? Were they not made well? Were they not well managed? Yes, but they were troubled by God. Thus God can bring to naught the best preparations of the sinner for his cruel designs; He can render useless the finest chariots. The sinner finds it hard work to drive CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST BAPISTIST BAPISTH Bute s.t. near Bute, S. W. Bute, 9:30 a. m. B. Y. P. U. 5 p. m. Regular services, 11:30 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Wed.

Sin cannot prosper, because it is against God."—(Hom. Com.) The overthrow and destruction of the host of the Egyptians was complete. The record says, "there remained not so much as one of them." V. 28. "Josephus says that the army of Pharoah consisted of fifty thousand horses, and two hundred thousand foot, of whom not one remained to carry tidings of this most extraordinary catastrophe."—Clarke. 3. The Effect of the Deliverance upon the Israelites.—Vs. 29, 30. By this so great and wonderful happening, Jehovah saved Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians. This deliverance made a mighty deep impression upon the Israelites; they feared and trusted Jehovah, and they had great deferlance for Moses the servant of God. "Trust in the Lord was awakened in their breasts by the discrimination results, in which an awful doom fell upon their adversaries, and a great salvation was accomplished for themselves. That their confidence in Moses should now be established was a necessary consequence of trust in the Lord. There was at the same time a lesson here for all nations that were within hearing to return to the Lord, the God of their being, and submit themselves to his rightful authority and proffered mercy.—Murphy. BRIGGSOGRAMS Even nature and nature's God are against the oppressor and the evil doer Trust God, do right, go ahead, pay little or no mind to your enemies. There is always a way of for those who obey and trust God. The destruction of the Egypt-tains persakes the final overthrow of all evil. How many a people know when God is leading them? FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH A goodly number were in attendance for worship last Sunday morning. Rev. Bowling delivered a splendid practical sermon from the subject, "Timely Advice for the Church, text Deut. 20:1. The pastor admonished his hearers against joining organizations or movements whose policies were unchristian and not in keeping with the church. There was one addition to the church during the services. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. were well attended. The Junior orchestra recently organized in the Sunday School made first public appearance. A glorious time was spent in the Holy Communion services. The hand of fellowship being extended to two candidates. A goodly number of visitors were in attendance at the evening services.

A guessing contest was conducted as to what incident the sermon was based. The correct answer was given by Mrs. Ethel Jones of the choir. It being Judge 11:30. Undoubtedly these sermons will prove both popular and profitable. Strangers and visitors are welcome.

ORGANIZED A NOVEL CHURCH AUXILIARY ORGANIZED A NOVEL CHURCH AUXILIARY Prayer Meeting Band With Insurance Features A Beehive of Interest at St. Mark A novel auxiliary organized in September, 1920, and flourishing since that time by Rev. A. L. Seruggs, pastor of St. Mark's A. M. E. Church, St. Julian Avenue, is the Charity Prayer Meeting Band. All members are eligible to membership in this band who subscribe to its rules. Non-members who have a strong desire to be Christians and also subscribe to the rules may become honorary members. The band has insurance features, in that nominal weekly premium is collected from the members and disability benefit paid them. There is also a death benefit feature. Of course, the prime object of the organization is to foster Christian association among the church members and to inspire the young of the congregation to a more devotee worship. The benefit features are incorporated as means of detracting from the auxiliary an exclusive religious impression which might become irksome to some of the younger set and materially lessen their interest. Thus these practical and material features the younger people are attracted and here the opportunity is used by the pastor and older members to keep before these people a Christian teaching and an example of light and leading. The organization is admittedly one of the most beneficial to both the church and its members known to exist in church work. Rev. Scruges has done a work at this charge that marks him as a minister of a progressive type. He is loved and respected by his congregation and enjoys the admiration of the community. Under his leadership and with the co-operation of his officers and members which he is always keen to cultivate, St. Mark's Church has gathered an influences that makes it one of the most valuable small churches in the Virginia Conference. The pastor is an able preacher, modest and unassuming and a gospel minister of worth. SPECIAL NOTICE Mid-Winter Revival Meeting at St. Paul C. M. E.

FOOLISH PROMISES SCORED BY PASTOR FOOLISH PROMISES SCORED BY PASTOR Base Pledges to Marry; Procrastination In Saving, Receive Rev. Bowling's Denunciation. "The young man who pledges marriage later on to the girl he would now seduce is making a foolish promise. He makes marriage which is a life-long contract, contingent upon the consequences of an immoral act instead of upon love." This was one of the striking thoughts advanced by Rev. Richard H. Bowling last Sunday night in a sermon on "The Story Of A Foolish Promise." Taking as a text Judges 11:30, the pastor related the story of Jephthah's vow to offer up as a burnt sacrifice whatever came forth from his house to meet him if God would 1. grant him victory in battle. After showing that this was a very foolish premise to make, he declared that Jephthiah, however, was not the only one guilty of making a foolish promise. In illustrating his thought the speaker gave many helpful hints on how to keep from shipwrecking one's life and lessening his chances for lasting success. Putting Off Sailing the size of one's income but by catting down on expenses. It is for this reason that many day laborers have more actual cash and unencumbered holdings than some salaried men and women who earn ten times more but live up to all that they make. The man that will not lay aside anything out of a ten-dollar a week income, will not lay aside anything out of a twenty-dollar a week income. Increasing incomes always bring the temptation of increasing wants. The man who rides a jitney on six- ty dollars a month wants an auto- mobile of his own as soon as his pay is increased to a hundred. So do not fool yourself," concluded Rev. Bowline, "make a heaten path now to the savings bank, no matter how small your wages." "Investing" Trust Funds "Another foolish promise is that which many a man makes that he will replace other folks' money after it has made some money for him. Such a promise makes a man's reputation for honesty hinge on the uncertainties of business speculation. And the man who has not brains enough to save up some money of his own to invest may rest assured he does not have brains enough to invest that which is not his. Another certainty in such a man's case is that at a time he thinks not his church or his lodge or his company will be galling upon him for the cash which he has tied up in his personal affairs. had his time.' Such a promise is improbable of fulfillment. It is anonymous to the case of the man who exposes himself to every disease to he will be to be a healthy man thereafter. No sensible man would thus unnecessarily use up his physical reserves and endanger his life. Likewise no morally same man would risk the killing of his finer sensibilities and the unhousing of wild possions by a wilful decision to 'sow wild oats.' The next season in this interesting series will be entitled "The Story Of A Notorious Suicide." The tall cheerless scholar under the skilful direction of Proof, Walter C. Fulford will again furnish the music. The service will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock. "And I say use unto thee, That thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the states of hell shall not unravel against it." (Matt. 16: 18) was the text from which Rev. C. M. Long preached at the Bank Street Church Sunday morning. The opinion dealt with the various opinions of Jesus entertained by those among whom he ministered while on earth. It remained for Peter to say who he was, and the answer he gave to Christ is and remains the rock foundation upon which the church of Christ has been built. It is a splendid thing to think nobly of Jesus, yet it is possible to have good opinions and high opinion.

The Jews expected their Messiah to come in the habiliments of great physical glory and magnificence rather than thru the operation of God's holy spirit upon them. No other character was so well fitted to convey the truth of Christ's divinity than was Peter to whom this truth was revealed by the Father in Heaven! Of all the apologies it was the peculiar mission of Peter to be sent to preach the gospel to Jew and Gentile and thus to become the mighty instrument by which the doors of the kingdom should be thrown open to all mankind. And the christian church so built on the solid rock of faith in Christ Jesus has moved on despite the rock, through fire and sword, and under all forms of persecution, gloriously and successfully, and will continue to do so till the end of time.

High School Discipline In another column on this page Principal Jacox of Booker T. Washington High School makes the point that the rule of sending tardy students back home has had a very salutary effect upon punctual attendance, tardiness having fallen to a low percentage since the rule was put into effect. That is a very gratifying report. Upon receiving certain authentic report that the rule was having the effect of working a hardship upon some students who were late at times by reason of circumstances which they could not control, and affording others an opportunity to play truant, this paper made the observation editorially that the e rule was one of questionable value. No intention was implied upon the part of this paper to question the principal's knowledge of high school affairs or of his grasp upon the control of them, as Principal Jacox appears to believe, if we have correctly interpreted his letter. Our information was as authentic as it was possible to have it, even if we had gone to the principal's office for it. The Norfolk Journal and Guide is for any measure that improves discipline, but insists that such measures should be stripeh, as nearly as practicable, of their questionable phases, as was pointed out in our previous article. If it is true that even a small number of tardy students form questionable contacts by reason of the enforcement of a rule of discipline, the principal and faculty should, and we believe they do, wish to correct the abuse.

Some Remarkable Acts of President Coolidge. The Scriptures say that "By their works ye shall know them." This saying is capable of infinite application. We can say, reversely, "by your works they shall know you," or "by his works I shall know him," or "by my works he shall know me." It is much like the line from Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard." upon which the rhetorics ring The Scriptures say that "By their works ye shall know them." This saying is capable of infinite application. We can say, reversely, "by your works they shall know you," or "by his works I shall know him," or "by my works he shall know me." It is much like the line from Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard," upon which the rhetorics ring the changes, to see how many ways the works can be transplaced without destroying the poet's idea. The line is, as far as we remember it, "The plowman home ward plods his weary way." President Calvin Coolidge has been the biggest surprise to the people and the country since Theodore Roosevelt bolted into the White House, the door to which death opened for him, as it did for Vice-President Coolidge. But Colonel Roosevelt and his ways were not unknown to the people and the politicians. He had become a spectacular character, international in reputation, and he was a great talker, while President Coolidge has always been known to be a man of few words. There are few points of contact in the mental attitudes of the two men, except the question of principles and the courage to hold and defend them. Editorial Page of Without making any fuss about it, President Coolidge has quietly gone about establishing policies of his own and leaving it to the warring members of the Congress and the party politicians to settle matters with their constituents as between him and them. President Cleveland did the same, and the people were always with the President on vital questions. They are getting around to President Coolidge in the like way. If he keeps on in the way he has been going they will be standing side by side with him in the next National Convention and the following elections in November. On tax reduction, bonus gratuities, on foreign policies, he is placing the people above party expedients by putting the Administration right with the masses and the best interests of the people. As far as the Afro-American people are concerned, President Coolidge has reversed the Lilywhite policy of President Harding, by restoring Southern representation in the National convention, by giving us a chief surgeon for the Tuskegee Hospital for our soldiers, by re-appointment of Walter L. Cohen, as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans by generous expressions of appreciation upon the death of Phil H. Brown, commissioner of conciliation in the Department of Labor, by a social visit, to Major Arthur Brooks, accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge. one of the White House staff, who was on the sick list, and by the appointment of an all-race commission to visit the Virgin Islands, where the population is mostly Afro-American, to investigate the social, political and economic needs of the people.

The Journal and Guide said some time ago that President Coolidge is not only a statesman, but a politician, and he is showing that he is by his works. The Afro-American people are bound to feel mighty good and much enheartened at the broad, generous and courageous attitude which President Coolidge has taken towards them both as citizens and partisans. --- All-Race Commission to the Virgin Islands The Virgin Islands have only recently been acquired by the United States from the Danish government. Their inhabitants are for the most part, Afro-Americans. Under the Danish flag, they enjoyed a very high degree of citizenship and the Islands were reasonably self-sustaining because of their harbor facilities and the production of sugar, which was mostly converted into rum. The United States gave the people a naval administration, which is in the same class with military administration, such as we have imposed upon the Haitian people, and the people have been quite reduced to destitution by the enforcement of the Volstead act, with the destructoin of the sugar industry, and by the port regulations which so operate as to divert shipping to other and more favorable ports. The economic distress of the people of the Virgin Islands has been so great that starvation has been forced upon many and want upon most of them. They have made constant appeals to the home Government for relief, but the former Administration appeared to have no more concern about them and their grievances than it displayed about those of the Haitians, which was one of taking the word of the military ruler on the one hand and the naval ruler on the The economic distress of the people of the Virgin Islands has been so great that starvation has been forced upon many and want upon most of them. They have made constant appeals to the home Government for relief, but the former Administration appeared to have no more concern about them and their grievances than it displayed about those of the Haitians, which was one of taking the word of the military ruler on the one hand and the naval ruler on the other that "All is well, and the Government at Washington still lives." But President Coolidge appears to be very human as well as President, with Republican and not with Democratic sympathies for "the under dog." What then? Why, simply this: President Coolidge has done what no other President has done; he has appointed an all-Afro-American commission to visit the Virgin Islands and report upon the needs of the people. Mr. W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News, is one of the members of the Commission. The act is such a radical departure from precedent in such cases that the white press of the country, as far as we have seen, have had almost nothing to say about it. We are sure, however, that it is an innovation that must be of far-reaching benefit to the race. It helps wonderfully to put us back on the party map from which we had been quite effaced by the Harding Administration. President Coolidge has done a splendid act in a splendid way. The Health Work Of The Community Center Suspension of the health clinic at the Community Health and Thrift Center, which seems imminent, would be a loss which the city can ill afford. The health work done at the clinic during the past three years has been of far-reaching benefit to the community. Well organized and efficiently directed the Norfolk clinic has been a model and has attracted nation-wide attention through the splendid character of its accomplishments. But it appears now that for lack of support by the local physicians the work will have to be suspended. Clinics cannot be run without physicians, even tho there is plenty of clinical material at hand. Dr. Frank R. Trigg resigned recently as director of the clinic because it was making excessive demands upon his time and encroaching severely upon his private practice. Those familiar with the clinic know what sacrifices Dr. Trigg has made to make the work a success. A health work of distinct benefit and practical value to the city has been built up at the Center, and in view of its size and scope it is impracticable to continue its operation along efficient lines with no further supervision or attention than physicians can give it voluntarily from their private practice. That has been demonstrated. In view of this circumstance the Physicians' Club, composed of all of the practicing physicians in the city, offered to take over the work of the clinic if the health department would designate a qualified head on a part-or full-time salary. This the health department has not yet seen its way clear to do. So the physicians are marking time. Just what stands in the way of the official use of a colored physician by the health department this paper has not been able to learn. It should by this time be apparent to the director of the department of public welfare that such a policy is an hindrance to certain accomplishments along the lines of public health that would mean much to the city. It is strange anomaly that with a large number of highly competent colored physicians in Norfolk the medical inspection of colored school children is done by white physicians. It cannot be for reasons of economy that this is done, for the department pays physicians of the opposite group to do the work. This being true, colored physicians would do the work for the same money. The department employs colored nurses, but so far has failed to use any colored physicians in its wide range of work, except as volunteer unpaid and unofficial workers in certain charitable clinical work. It is doubtless apparent to everyone with a sense of justice that a larger measure of cooperation would obtain between the colored physicians and the department in matters of charitable clinical work were their group given recognition in the same proportion that is accorded the white members of the profession, when it comes to paid work. It takes time, of course, to work out problems. The Norfolk health department probably cannot do all of the things which it desires to do, but this matter has been before the department for several years, and matters have now come to a place where the department has little support it in its policy of withholding such recognition as the colored physicians have demonstrated by their works that they are entitled to. If it is a question of precedent, the health director needs only to look to Durham, Savannah, Atlanta, Birmingham and other Southern cities that are just as "Southern' in their traditions and Democracy as Norfolk could possibly be. Where the public is concerned it is not so much a matter of giving recognition to the doctors as of continuing a needed public health work on an efficient basis, but it is apparent that the colored medical men have a just grievance, and in such they have the sympathy and support of the great majority of the race population that is familiar with the conditions. With Prof. Kelly Miller's Sanhedrin and the Lincoln League scheduled as coming events we may expect some race gatherings where our orators may unork some of their "pentup Utica" if they do not accomplish a great deal for the solution of our problems, which many of our enterprising men without a visible means of support are making hobbies of. Noise making is necessary some times, and our problem solvers serve a purpose, although many may imagine that they do not. IT SEEMS TOME THAT I SHOULD BE DOING THAT WORK More than six thousand colored school children given physical examination at intervals each year by city-paid physicians.

Kindly be informed that the students sent home on account of tardiness are not required to stay any longer than they can procure a reasonable excuse from either their parents, guardians or even a reliable neighbor, and many students who are dismissed are ```markdown ``` EASY ENGLISH Nom. This, that, is mine. Obj. I prefer this, that. VIEWS AND REVIEWS By THOMAS L. DABNEY Virginia Union University FLAPPERISM EXCELSIOR It is no new thing to find nature age misinterpreting the vivaciousness of youth. When we become old, we are prove to have less sympathy for the problems of back in school again in less than one hour after being sent home. Students who give a reasonable excuse ARE NOT sent home at all. The parents of those students are notified when their children are sent home, and no student is allowed to return to school until he or she can obtain an excuse from the parent. You say that you have been told that some of the students sent home form questionable contact in the streets, rather than go home. Having been told so, it is something that may, or may not be relied upon. At any rate, if there is any truth in it, that type of student does not have to be sent from school to gain an opportunity to form questionable contact. I have recent concrete examples of a father and mother, who left home behind their children, but were here in time for classes and their children were not. While we made a search in one case, one of the students came up to the surprise of himself, and his father. A stern and masterful address was delivered to the son, and since then, he has been on time. Fortunately, more than ninety percent of our students are from very, very fine families and they deserve all that is being done for them, as well as deserving the kind consideration of the faculty at all times. Out of that class has come a frank indorsement of our method of dealing with tardy students. Again, they are those who know what is going on in our school and from them first-hand and reliable information can be had only for the asking. These, those, are yours.

Classification, 1, Quantitatives, denoting number or quantity,—"Many" are called but "few" are chosen. 2, Distributives, denoting separate and singular objects,—"Each" was expected, "either" would have been accepted, but "neither" came. 3, Reciprocals, denoting mutual relationship,—Comfort "each other." Love "one another." Note, "One" is inflected for number and case,—your little "ones," "one's" friends. "Somebody" and a few others are inflected for case,—"somebody's" brother. youth. Old age puts many of us out of touch with youth. We become pessimistic, and regard the carefree attitude of youth toward life and its problems as an indication of the decay of society. On the one hand, there are those who bewail the advent of women into the various professions and vocations formerly held exclusively by men. On the other hand there are some who lament the fact that the crowd of vamps is increasing. In the language of M. Richard Le Gallienne, "It is one of the many paradoxes of our paradoxical era that woman's new seriousness of purpose should be accompanied by so widespread an outburst of feminine vanity and luxury." ried about the modern girl. Dr. Charles J. Smith, President of Roanoke College, Virginia, belongs to this group. Speaking recently at the National Lutheran Educational Conference, he declared that the college girls of today are "an army of hard-drinking, cigarette-puffing, licentious, Amazons, daughters of so-called best families invading the campuses scantily attired in clothing, but abundantly in paint, with a bottle of liquor in their hand-bugs." The above is rather a puritanical attitude. It is expecting too much of girls these days to suppose that they should conform to the standards of morality, which character-Saint Paul and Saint Tertullianized the women of the period of Dr. Smith's talk about scant clothing is little more than buncombe. It reminds us of the disdainful bewailings of the Honorable William J. Bryan, on things, moral and religious. Neither, we fear is in a position to discuss such questions. The question relative to dressing so far as young women are concerned involves aesthetics, economics, and health. A number of educators have commented on Dr. Smith's charges against college girls. Chancellor Flint, of Syracuse University said: "I regard President Smith's statement as a gross caricature of our college women. There may be conditions in some places which remotely justify some such description, but personally. I have not come in contact with such conditions and certainly at Syracuse, there is no foundation for such an indictment." (Evening World, January 16, 1924.) While there is nothing in the marriage ceremony that would so indicate it, a husband automatically becomes the legally appointed audience of his wife. George Roberts says the people who are entitled to elaborate monuments don't need them.

Hospitals and Health As the Negro grows in wealth—and he is making rapid strides—there is every reason why he should grow in health—and he is making certain gains therein also. Conversely, as the Negro grows in health he will also grow in wealth. Just as poverty and sickness go hand in hand, wealth and health are boon companions. As with nations, so with races, the United States, the wealthiest nation in the world, also the healthiest. As a race, are we not growing rather tired and disgusted with having the fact hurled into our faces, that the health standards of the United States are kept lower than they should be by the high rate of sickness among its Negro citizens? Most certainly it is our business and our duty to get this matter adjusted, and for the sake of our own well being and forward movement, we must get on the job. Hospitals are Essential In the light of present day standards the modern hospital is just as essential as the church or the grocery store. No community or group of people can keep step to the tune of health integrity without hospitals. No race in America stands in such dire need of hospital facilities as does the Negro and we cannot make the best of time so long as we are under hospitalized as we are at present. True we have about 144 hospitals and sanitariums devoted to the care of Negro patients, but with very few exceptions they are too small, too poor and too inadequately equipped to render the health service needed by our race. Here is a most wonderful opportunity for the outpouring of our increasing wealth which will return dividends of perpetual value in the process of race building. Health Necessary For Economic Progress Let us be frank with each other and face the truth. Just as we are a new race in civilization, we are also new in wealth, and in that new found joy we indulge in a too rictous and extravagant expenditure of money for personal pleasure and aggrandizement, forgetting our duty to the race as a whole, and its need for our loyal support. We forget our brother lowest down, except too frequently to condemn him for the embarrassments and humiliations we are made to suffer because of his unfortunate state. The present day health question is striking at the vials of the economic progress of our race, certainly more surely than the casual observer thinks. Training Schools For Nurses While the hospital is created primarily for the care of the sick and injured, that after all is but a small part of its function in our program for health betterment. The training school for nurses connected with most hospitals affords the only means for giving to the world and the race these angels of mercy, schooled in the principles of health and hygiene. Each year finds newly graduated physicians who must have hospital experience before seeing permitted to practice in many states. They are needed too badly by our race for us to assume an indifference as to their accommodation. Medicine today is making such rapid progress that the practicing physician who is not permitted to enjoy the advantages of the modern hospital, must soon find himself out-of-date and unprepared to give his patients the best possible service. If the doctor lags behind, you cannot always blame him, for in his daily tasks he finds the joy of serving, but must have the support, the backing of the wealth of our race, that the character of that service may be improved. With more hospitals, better equipped, better supported, more professional nurses properly educated, more physicians given the fullest possible opportunity, we as a race shall beat down our high sick and death rate, building for ourselves a racial integrity unquestionable and everlasting. But is takes wealth to build and maintain hospitals, yet that wealth returns in dividends of health. How much did you contribute to a Negro hospital last year? How much will you contribute this year? I simply make this appeal so that you may know your duty—and by all means do it. Our hospitals need your help today, you may need theirs tomorrow!
