Washington, D. C.—As a result of several months of investigation and study by experts of the Post Office Department, Postmaster General New today issued the first definite, concise and complete program that has ever been put out by the Department for the mailing, transmission and delivery of newspapers. The order is most important it is far soothing. It gives the same expedition to newspapers as is accorded to first class mail. The order is the result of painstaking effort on the part of the Post Office inspectors, under the direction of First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett. Carefully worded and minute instructions have been issued to all employees in engaged handling of the email, so that there will be no possibility of misunderstanding the importance of getting newspapers to the reader with a minimum of delay. The essence of the order is that newspapers shall not be mixed with parcel post at any point in their dispatch from the publisher's office until their delivery to the addresses. Papers shall be handled by themselves, and kept in constant not being set, railway terminal to be reworked, in other words, they are to be handled in the same manner as first class mail. An important feature of the order is that no publication shall be given any less efficient or less expeditions treatment than at present, that means that publication other than newspapers will not suffer one item from this progressive innovation, made by the Post Office Department. Another striking feature of the order is the elimination of sacks of which are known to the business world as "mixed mail." Sacks of mixed mail sometimes contain letters, papers, and parcels post, and oftentimes these were treated as parcel post. This order will prevent a recurrence of that condition. In150 Foot Drop In Auto Truck Man Is Unhurt Pittsburgh, Pa., Feb. 1—(P. N. S.)—A huge coal truck, the driver of which leaped just before it started its descent, late Tuesday plunged over a 150-foot embankment at East and Steuben streets, Northside.

Seeing the dangerous predicament he yelled to his helper to jump. But the man refused to budge. Bair suffered lacerations of the right leg when he jumped. DR. CROSSLAND DISMISSED FROM VETS HOSPITAL Climax Of a Series Of Charges and Counter Charges Between. "Gray-Haired Lothario" And Friends. INFLUENCE OF MOTON SEEN IN THE MOVE Montgomery, Aln, Jan.—(A, N. P.) Dr. J. R. E. Crossland, appointed some months ago to a mysterious position at the United States Veterans' hospital here, was ordered to discontinue his services at the institution last Saturday and is supposed to have left for Washington this week. Dr. Crossland's dismissal came as the climax of a series of charges and counter charges between him and his friends on the one side certain influences emulating from Tuskegee Island on the other. It is charged that since Crossland cared intensely to stop the cry of Negroes for a governing hand in the hospital, conditions have continually grown worse. Open emmity between Dr. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute and Dr. Crossland is declared to have asserted itself. Crossland is charged with having sought to discredit Principal Moton, to prevent him from addressing the hospital employees, and to have made an effort to nullify the effect of Moton's efforts to work out the hospital situation. In order to make his own position secure, he is alleged to have adopted a traitorous attitude which would have placed him permanently, and surely, in a secondary position in the hospital, with a white man at the head. He is believed to have offered the white man support to head the institution in exchange for the latter securing him, Crossland, a job. Crossland went to the hospital without the official sanction of the National Medical Association which Director Hines had appointed would be consulted help any appointments were made. The association was surprised and disappointment learned that the former Missouri physician had been sent to Alabama. It is felt that the association may have had an influential part to play in securing the doctor's discharge. This last adventure of Crossland is only one of several in which he has been involved in last few years. At one time he was an assistant in the patients' bureau in charge of colored work. Charges of inefficiency and unfaithfulness to duty are alleged to have led to his embarrassment in that posi- It is remembered that he was sued for divorce last year by his wife.

Pender Grocery Company Being Observed This Week All of that great army of patrons of the D. P. Stores in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport, News, Suffolk and cities of North Carolina have this week enjoyed the privilege of purchasing select groceries at extraordinarily reduced prices. For this week the 25th anniversary of the D. Pender Grocery Company is being observed, and everywhere Pender's chain reaches the people partake of the celebration by buying Pender groceries at anniversary prices. The story of the phenominal rise of a North Carolina lad, one David Pender, to the largest grocery merchant of the South has been repeatedly told. However, it is never related with stirring interest, and the question even prompts, how did he? Mr. Pender has often explained that there has been nothing magical about the Pender stores or of his success. Every visit to D. P. Store, tells the story, he explains, for it is the service—filling a public demand, by these stores that has given them such a wonderful expansion in a period of five years. It was twenty-six years ago Mr. Pender came to Norfolk and began work as a grocery boy. A few years later with borrowed capital—borrowed on personal honor, a characteristic that has stuck with him through the years and built for him a fortune—started business for himself. Today, besides the main store on Granby street, there are 161 chin D. P. Stores. Local people take pride in this enterprise, it beingwolly a local corporation with headquarters in city. In fact, it is the main store company in the headquarters in Norfolk. Among its many plants operated here are a bakery, one of the most modern in the country and constructed at a cost of $150,000; a coffee roasting plant, capable of turning out 24,000 pounds of coffee an hour, and not a pound touched by human hands, and several warehouses. The employment furnished to workers in this city by the Pender Grocery Company is a considerable factor in the economic life of this community. On his payroll are hundreds of colored people. Last year Mr. Pender bought all the Piggly Wiggly store rights in Tidewater, except the Granby St. store and now operates them as a NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 part of his system. In every neighborhood where Mr. Pender feels that a D. P. Store can better serve the people, one is loated. Some stores in the neigh horbods of colored people exclu sively, but the service has always been the same. Courtesy of his employees seems to be inate, and D. P. customers are admirers of his stores and service as well as being his patrons. (Continued on Page Six) Undertaker Jones Passes Suddenly Undertaker Jones Passes Suddenly Mr. Junius N.

INTEREST IN THE LINCOLN LEAGUE MEETING GROWS Indications Said To Point To Biggest Session Held For a Number of Years; Enthusiasm Manifested. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WILL BE DISCUSSED By MORRIS BROWN Washington, D.C., Jan. 28—Great interest is being manifested here in the coming convention of the Lincoln League of America to be held in Chicago, Ill., Feb. 12. WILL EXCELL 1920 SESSION Present enthusiasm indicates that the meeting is year-over-year, and the convention of 1920 is a prominent one. Both white and colored politicians and statesmen are turning toward Chicago. VITAL ISSUES TO BE DISCUSSED Live and vital questions are to be discussed at the coming session of the League. Among them are "Migration and Its Political Effects," "Our Political Status," "Congressional Election," and "The Jim Colly Car." These are only a few of the questions nearest the heart of the American Negro, to which the Lincoln League will give its attention. NOT OPPOSED TO SANHEDRIN The claim that the Lincoln League is opposed to any other organization and seeks through its influence to break down any other organizational structure is stoutly denied by the officials of the Lincoln League. Its officers declare that the Lincoln League is constructive, not destructive, and that it wishes all organizations well. That the Sanhedrin meets in Chicago at the time of the Lincoln League is the fault of the Sanhedrin. The constitution of the Lincoln League provides that its convention shall be held on the birthday of Abraham, the very convention of the League has been held on Lincoln's birthday. NOTABLES ON PROGRAM The Lincoln League will devote its session to an open consideration of great public questions and the discussions will be led by men foremost in public affairs.

Matthews, former assistant United States Attorney at Boston; Charles A. Cottrill of Ohio; Edward W. Henry, president of the Citizens Club of Philadelphia; Benjamin J.

PAD AURISTIC The man I am answering you because it concerns me, and I am not sent by God to preach, therefore I have the time to do this. Other than that, I would be doing what I said I was sent to do. I just see now what some meet in the Union for. Are they meeting to do what they claim God sent them to do? It seems as if some of them are about to lose some of their flock, and they are drifting to the old landmark laid down by Christ. That is what the U. N. J. A. stands for. We believe in fatherhood of God; brotherhood of man. We are not building churches. Now we are letting you do that. We are trying to build a government for you and me. Now you are fighting yourself. Which one is wise, me or you? You believe in praying for everything you want in praying too. But you pray until — turns to a cold storage, you will find yourself withdrawn a government. You must make up your mind as the people did of old from the migration of Ahraham about B. C. 1920 to 63 B. C., then you will feel as if you are on the road to foundation. The U. N. I. A., stands for something. This is not anything to play with. This is not anything to do. Garvey don't look for all to believe in him, because all didn't believe in Christ'. It was classes of leaders in the community that opposed Jesus in his religion. The so-called doctors or learned men rejected the philosophy of Christ, when he endeavored to teach it to the community. They dubbed him an impostor, and another was a sensible person. The one was promise, we find that this two thousand years we find that this very class has become the leaders and teachers of Christianity. So it is the case with this movement.

Hampton went into the head after a few minutes of playing and was never headed thereafter. The visitors displayed a good passing game, but could not consistently work the ball up to the Hampton goal, so sturdily and brilliantly did the superb guarding of the "Seasiders perform. In passing and shooting Hampton showed up like a championship team, and with her present stride she promises to become such. The brunt of the shooting was forced upon Hargroves, Hampton's center, and he became a marked man and was forced to shoot many times from long ranges. Even under these circumstances, he performed brilliantly and succeeded in pulling out with high scoring honors, with a total of 24 points for the time he was in the game. Gunn, as usual, displayed his uncanny ability to dribble out of a jam and work the ball into a position for a shot. He continually had the Union tossers in the air, bewildered and surprised at his playing. Hampton's great guarding, led by Captain Langston and ex-Capt. Gunn, was exhibited in Union's inability to score a single field goal for eighteen minutes in the first half. Hampton's strength in both departments was displayed by the score of the first half, which was 22 to 5. In the latter part of the second half, Hampton's second string men, including - Simmons, Lambright, Thom, Miller and Renfraw were in. In all of these substitutes played remarkably well. They displayed enough offensive power to run the score up considerably. Of these substitutes all-round honors went to Simmons. He was in every play, constantly nipping a Union rally in the bud. Miller and Lambright, at forward, played their usual steady game. For Union Allen showed up well, while Brown and Jackson also played a fine game. They were instrumental in starting several rallies by Union.

Offers something entirely new in the way of basket ball diversion this season, two teams composed of members of the "other sex" lined up against each other at Labor Temple Casino last Thursday night, and after 40 minutes of spirited and highly interesting play, the Clark Memorial Girls of Homestead, Pa., were returned winners over the Morgan Community House girls of Pittsburg with a score of 17-8. The Misses Raker and Jackson played best for the Homestead group, while the shooting of Sutton and the guarding of Davis stood out in the play for Morgan Community girls.

SLATER BAYNES Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 19—The Morehouse basketeers won from the Clarke University quintet by the huge score of 67-15. Throughout the game the team showed the floorwork and basket shooting ability that will be necessary to win from the several teams that they are expecting to meet on the eastern and western tour. The Morehouse quintet has shown itself a giant in this locality winning from all of the local colleges and the Y. M. C. A., by a heavy margin. The five-man offense was working perfectly, Coach Harvey's men passing the ball under the basket and making sure shots. Three men Captain Gayles, Bailey, and Sykes tallied five baskets each, while Taylor held his own as high point man making eight baskets and one free throw.

Dr. Crossland Is Dismissed From Vets' Hospital (Continued from Page One) who charged that the doctor was a gray-haired Lothario, fascinated by a Chicago butterfly, often referred to as the "Baby Doll." On the strength of charges brought up in this connection Mrs. Crossland procured a divorce and substantial alimony. Now, the declaration is maintained, that the "Baby Doll" case is not yet ended. Furniture which the doctor is alleged to have sent to his Chicago "love nest" was reported to have been expressed to this postoffice shortly before Crossland's departure. It consisted of a piano and a victrola and was sent from an address on St. Lawrence Avenue in Chicago. So far the identity of the "Baby Doll" has been kept a secret. References to her as a "Merry Widow" would seem to indicate that she is one of the prominent matrons of the "Windy City." Crossland's expense account, due to long distance telephone calls to Chicago while he was in the Veterans' bureau, was one of the principal sources of his embarrassment. Anonymously addressed letters to Senator Hiram Johnson, presidential candidate, are believed to have been written by Crossland. They recommended to the Senator, as a campaign ally, a Dr. Crossland, who has been many things, has many friends in all states of the Union, is intelligent, and would be the best colored man for the senator to favor. Crossland's queer appointment to Tuskegee and this mysterious letter writing, coupled with his antagonistic attitude at Tuskegee, has given rise to the feeling that he is an individual of uncertain tendencies.

Morton Democratic Club, 73 Kareney Avenue, last Saturday week ago, after the hearing last Monday morning before Judge Leo Sullivan, all of those held were discharged. Morton and his assistants at the club who had been released on bail were also discharged. The Judge asked the four alleged gunmen what they were doing in Jersey City, and they all told him that they had come over to call Miss Babe Hayborne. Miss Hayborne is a number collector. The Judge in reply told them, to get out of the town, and if they were caught in this town again he would send them down to Trenton, well Trenton is the capitol of the state, but the penitentiary is there also, and this last place is the particular locality he planned placing them. They were seen to make a hurried exit from the town upon their release. They were also told never to go on the premises of Morton's again. Now the question remains, why don't the authorities allow Morton to continue his business, since they found no evidence of breaking the law, why was he told by the administration police officials to close up Morton has been for a long time one of the foremost supporters of the Hague political machine. He has always contributed to the campaign funds, and himself gets out and works for the party success at each election. Another feature, found is that unfortunately, Morton is being harrassed, by the Hague crowd and annoyed in the conduct of his business, and then, too, by some members of his own race, who seem jealous of his success. Morton was represented by Robert S. Hartgrove, the president of the New Era Democratic Ass'n of Hudson County. Many of Morton's friends have gone to his rescue, however, since they can see so plainly that he is victim of circumstances. The two-facedness of the Hague machine and the political hand is so vivid that justice seems to be out of the question altogether. If Morton is allowed to continue his business, investigation will be made, and it may result in the lost of many hundreds of race votes in the eight ward, for the Democratic Party. Morton, however, has not receive the protection he is entitled, being so prominent in the political party now in regime. I wonder what "Czar" Hague is going to do about it? The well known and popular Bennie Burwell, formerly of this city, came thru town last week from Cleveland. While he does not plan to remain in the East, he is visiting many of his old friends. He was guest at a happy party to see "Running Wild". JERSEY CITY Y. W. C. A. The annual meeting and Membership Banquet was held, Friday, Jan. 18.

One of the biggest revivals series ever conducted in this city was the one just closed at Salem Baptist Church, Union St., Rev. F. W. Means, pastor, last Friday night after three weeks' successful running. About 84 definite conversions for Christ, about 50 additions to the church, while on last Sunday, 18 were baptized, and a big baptism was held Sunday, January 27, and another one next Sunday. In all there will possibly be more than forty baptized. The meetings have been conducted under the direction of the Rev. W. W. Carter, D.-D., of Malden, Mass, and saying that he is a pulpit orator is mild. He sways the chancels and brought the very spirit of the Christ to the hearts of the people: Dr. Means in commenting upon the meetings is well pleased and feels assured that the work thus accomplished for Christ has been beneficial. The revival held at the Monumental Baptist Church, Rev. W. S. Smith, pastor, has proven a big success and many connected themselves with the church. A large crowd is expected, so you had better come early to get a seat. This great drive for souls and the wonderful success attained is encouraging to the clergy of the city.

Borrows Money To Eat; Next Day Hears of Wealth (Continued from Page One) rected to revert to her son Joseph upon her death. WELL KNOWN ABOUT TOWN Joseph Wickworth, thought to be either of West Indian or Cuban birth, is well known around Berkeley. Although, apparently inheriting fine traits, it is claimed by those who know him, that through dissipation and whiskey drinking he has sunken to the level of a human derelict. He is described as being a man about forty years old, carefree, happily-go-lucky and an inexperate drinker. On Thursday, the day before he received the news announcing his mother's death, it is alleged, that he entered the cleaning and press establishment of George Case 916 Liberty street, and asked George for the loan of a quarter George, it is said, asked Joseph if he was hungry, adding that if he was he (George) would give him a few cents. George gave the man who admitted he wanted to eat, nickel. Wickworth took this thanked his benefactor, and said "I'll pay you this money Saturday when I get paid. I'll give you a dollar for this nickel." George, it is stated, answered, "Never mind you may have that." At this man who claimed he wanted to eat thanked George profusely, it is alleged, and remarked, "I have never been able to do anything for you but maybe some day I'll be able to return your kindness." With this he started from the place, it is averred, but turned and said "George, save for me all of the old clothes you have. I'll buy them." In tattered raiment and with tell lines lines of a life of dissipation, want and suffering showing on his countenance he left the pressing shop, clutching pitifully the one nickel with which he intended to feed his hungry stomach, according to the story of those intimately acquainted with the man. The following morning local police received a request from New York authorities asking them to locate one Joseph Wickworth and inform him that his mother had died in that city and bequeathed to him all of her earthly wealth of $100,000. It is said that Wickworth often spoke of his mother, and claimed that he owned property in New York, but never revealed to his friends that the property was in his mother's name. The news of his sudden wealth has not affected Joseph in the least, it is said. He showed neither signs of grief, nor joy, and up until Sunday had not left Berkley, although he heard of his mother's death Friday. He is said to be an enthusiastic Garveyite, both he and his wife, a South Norfolk girl, whom he married recently. 25th Anniversary of D. Pender Stores (Continued from Page 1.)

Tucker Dies At Baltimore Home (Continued from Page 1) Norfolk began to emerge from its swaddling clothes and education moved forward. A high school Norfolk Mission College, was established in the city; more public schools were opened, but R. A. Tucker advanced with the times and held a grip upon his place of distinction as an educator, in spite of the progress of time and the change of conditions. It was a few years ago when age and declining health began to rob him of his physical vigor that he resigned from the school system and joined his family in Baltimore, who had preceded him there some years before. Mr. Tucker, a strong man mentally and physically, a statesque character, was a disciplinarian, and it is safe to state that 80 percent of the present and former generations of colored Norfolkians were at one time under the influence of his educational talents. When he got out of the school system he was known as supervising principal, and enjoyed a wide influence here. Mr. Tucker is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Latine Howard; four sons, Mrs. Renssons Manson, Samuel, Dudley and Travis Tucker, of Baltimore; two brothers, S. L. Tucker, and Frank S. Tucker, of Norfolk, and one sister, Mrs. Josephine Moseley, of Norfolk. Resolutions were read at the funeral from the First Baptist Church, of which he was a member while a resident of this city, and from S. C. Armstrong school.

Water and Inspection Free PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 Glimpsed Glimpsed Along the Way REVIEW REVIEW and COMMENT peasant being hunted down with hounds, or shot by a posse of men, or burned at the stake amid the multitudinous cheers of a vast concourse of people. That the South should expect these same benighted people to remain with her and uncomplainingly endure with all this, when a $20 bill will carry a man beyond its occurrence, nasses my understanding. "The race problem is no longer a problem of the South alone. With the Negro press everywhere, increasing its circulation and such far-reaching organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People working through its local organizations in every community to uphold the rights of the Negro and to demand that justice be given him, and to urge that Negro children everywhere attend elementary schools, the race problem is by no means confined to the South. * * * "The South has made a gross blunder in trying to coddle itself into believing that the way to keep its abundance of labor was to keep the nigger down, and that the average Negro neither could nor would learn, nothing could have been more fatal to the South, in so far as holding the Negro goes. * * Again, the South tried to persuade herself to believing that these same Negroes who had lived all their lives in the bondage of debt, want and privation would come back to the plantations like the prodigal son of old. The fact is that they are not doing so, and my conviction is, that they will not do it. In the North the employers are studying the vast armies of Negro laborers that come to them to learn their likes and dislikes, weaknesses, failures, needs and health requirements. They are not only succeeding in holding the Negroes-but in getting far better work out of them than is to be had on the plantations." STRAIT-TEX TRADE-MARK Mr. Snyder's assertion that the Negroes are not returning to the South is a direct contradiction of what the Atlanta Constitution and several other Southern journals hold to be true. It is quite probable that those journals who see the army of return harbor the wish which fathers the thought. In an editorial tolerantly worded the New York Age suggests a way out for Dr. J. R. A. Crossland; a way out of the public gaze in the unsavory manner in which he seems to be attracting attention. This journal after commending upon the latest exposure of Dr. Crossland's alleged chicanean in connection with his position at the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, as recently reported in the (Baltimore) Afro-American makes the following suggestion: Kokomo Shampoo 10c is made from pure coconut oil; cleanses the roots of the hair in a natural, healthy manner.

His temperant and character are not such as to qualify him for public service of a dignified sort. He should seek the retirement of private life and drop political correspondence." The Pittsburgh Courier has seized upon the opportunity to point out some of the defects of the Bill recently introduced in the national Congress purporting to establish a Commission for the Study of Race Relations as suggested in President Coolidge's message. Among the nonglue defects of the bill as present worded which the Courier calls attention to are: By Alex J. Smart Those parents who exhibit an indifference about their children roller skating on traffic laden streets must be prepared to accept the consequences. Olney road (Highland avenue) from Church street to Brambleton affords a fine skating rink since it has been paved. The paving of this section has also greatly increased automobile traffic on it. Boys and girls skate along here with indifference when traffic is heavy. If it is kept up, however, some body will eventually pay the penalty. The sign Phyllis Wheatley Garden has been removed from the new building at the corner of Church and Queen streets. When it first became known that the building would contain an immense dance hall much comment was precipitated among the colored people, who felt that naming it Phyllis Wheatley was a desecration of the name of the great poetess. The managers then promised to remove the sign in case certain things should eventuate. By William Britton Howard Snyder (white) writing in the North American Review for January lays the blame for the exodus of Nefrores from the South directly at the door of Southern lawlessness and brutality toward its colored people. Mr. Snyder passes over as incidental the allegations by many that the boil weevil and poor cotton had so much to do with the exodus. The writer is a Mississippiian and knows whereoff he speaks when talking about the South. Many of the names of the victims he asserts after an extended journey through the southern cotton belt, never reach the newspapers and the public. He writes: "Nowhere on the earth among civilized nations are such atrocious outrages committed as in the South against the Negro. Almost any day we can read of some benighted Negro MARY MAY HASENJOYED SUCH UNEX- PECTED SUCCESS IN THE PAST YEARTH THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO ADD A FEW MORE BEAUTIFYING PRE- ARATIONS TO OUR LIMIT- ED BUT EFFECTIVE LINE The following is our complete list Strait-Tex Hair Refining Tonic $10.00 Refines kinky, frizzy, coarse hair to medium; medium hair to good.

Some people seem to forever be in for good luck. Some one told us that some one told them that the man in Berkley whose mother died in New York and left him $33,000 in cash and $77,000 in property is an enthusiastic Garveyite. What manner of man is this Mr. Garvey. The newspapers stated that the policeman who was arrested while transporting liquor in his motor car Sunday night, was scheduled to go on duty a few minutes after his arrest. We think he was already on duty and a very stringent one at that. So Walter Smith won the first prize in the Norfolk Home Building and Loan campaign. Our congratulations Mr. Smith, indeed you worked hard. Walter is some sort of salesman; pretty hard to shake off when he makes a tackle. His greatest reward rests, however in the knowledge of having been instrumental in starting many persons on the road Demand Justice 'A Commission of nine with three white men from the South, three white men from the North and three colored men—from what sections not named—Is unfair to the cause.

Those people who instituted this movement deserve the gratitude of their neighbors. named in the Bill nor should sections be recognized in the terms of the Bill. We are trying now to abolish sections and the hatred common to these sections..... What is needed is a larger Commission with men from all over the country as members." The division of the Commission into groups of three with two white men and one colored man in each group gets us right back into sections again, says the Courier." "The commission ought to function as a whole or not at all. Politics and other retarding influences will creep into some one of the three groups, or into the minds of some of the members." The manner of providing for the filling of vacancies or reappointment is highly fatal, adds this journal. "One group is to be appointed for one year; one group for three years." The group for one years." The Commission could not begin to function properly before the first group would have to be reappointed. This is a flooded gate for political influences and the groups would be changing every passing year." These objections as presented by this paper appear to be based upon very sound logic. Indeed the Bill seems to have been drawn without serious thought given to the importance of the task to which the Com mission it would create will have to address itself. A JUDGE AMONG MEN IRA W. JAYNE of Detroit BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) On January 14, 1924, we went into the Circuit Court, at Detroit to see Ira W. Jayne, our friend, who is the judge of that court. A large class of "aliens" were taking the oath of citizenship, having completed their course in Americanization. They were for the most part working people, representing every European type. But this judge on only confers citizenship upon the naturalized outsider, but also defends the rights of native-born citizens. For on that same day, and within that same hour, a very dramatic thing happened in the crowded courtroom. A young black man, under thirty years of age, came into the court and publicly thanked the judge for having saved him from capital punishment; for a crime which he did not commit. The boy had been thrice tried. Think of being three times in court jeopardy for a capital crime which you did not do. The charge was robbery and murder. At the second trial the jury found him guilty in a few minutes, because he was poor and poorly defended and because the jury was in a hurry—and perhaps he was black. Well, a store had been robbed and one white man in it had been killed and later on the street, another white man simply "identified" this hard-working boy as the bandit. Oh, of course, black folk had testified that this young man was in bed asleep six miles from the scene of the killing at 15 minutes before 5, and although the killing was at 5:30, the also showed that the defendant was at work six miles from the killing at 7—at the SAME PLACE where he had slept. And it was also proven that although the bandit got about $400 on the 16th, this young colored man on the 13 had to borrow 12 cents for carriage to go to work and 35 cents But the jury was in a hurry, the white man had been killed, there was no one else to hang or imprison, and the boy was black enough and according to the opinion of ONE white man this fellow looked like the killer. That settled it,—or would have settled it if there had not been a just JUDGE in that court—The boy had no money, and justice, even in court, is not free. The Judge had heard the testimony, and in spite of juries he NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 Ex-Governor of Tennessee Pays Stirring Tribute To Race Heroes Payments On Funds Borrowed Made In Advance; Benefits From Harmon Foundation Now Available At Howard. Washington, D. C.—Howard University School of Medicine was chosen for the first time this year (1923-24) as one of the colleges to cooperate with the Harmon Foundation in its practical experiment of lending money to students in the Junior year or above on a strictly business basis. The ultimate objective of this test of student reliability in financial obligations is to prove to the investing world that properly selected student character is sound security. That the faith of the Foundation is justified as far as the affiliated colleges are concerned is evidenced by the fact that already more than $1000 has been returned to the Division of Student Loans seven months in advance of the date on which the first installments were due to begin. This early response on the part of the student borrower has made it possible to grant an appropriation to the University of Montana to be used during the second semester of this year, thus extending the trial of the Harmon system of loans to another section of the country not already represented and bringing the number of affiliated colleges to forty-three during the present year.

Who "gold-bricked" the Congressman? 2. Blood-stains. Some enterprising racial politician, who is evidently in full possession of the "password" and "grip" to Tammany Hall, has apparently handed Congressman Emanuel Cellar, Democrat, from the Tenth District of New York, a full-sized "gold-brick," avoidupoys weight; for a perusal of Congressman Cellar's Bill (H. R. 5564) which would create "a commission on the racial question," discloses that that document, except for the omission of the words "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate," in Section 2 thereof, is an exact reproduction of Senate Bill 4267, introduced on; April 21, 1920, by Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri We use the term "gold-brick" in a sincerice sense, because we know that for the past five years the "commission" idea has been "runnin' wild" in the minds of some of the brethren and that delegation after delegation of "commission" proponents has fairly besieged their legislative representatives for some sort of a commission, with or without omissions. The Mason Bill, the "Industrial Commission" Bill, and the Spencer Bill came along in rapid succession, and many anxious brother had to take sleeping powder to keep from visualizing all night long his place on the "commission." Of all the so-called "commission" bills presented in 1919 and 1920, however the Spencer Bill, championed by the able Missouri Republican, was the one of greatest merit, and the good Senator showed his mettle and sincerity in the matter by speaking at length, in the Senate, regarding his bill and the interracial situation in America. And now, after a lapse of three years, comes a Democratic Congressman and reproduces, almost word for word, the "make-up" of Senator Spencer's document. It only remains, now, for some one to reproduce Senator Spencer's speech, and the last reel will be ready for projection. We wonder what a stute simply ordered the attorney to move for a new trial. Granted. Then the Judge appointed one of the best attorneys to defend this man at the expenses of the county. If the law pays to prosecute the guilty, why should the law not pay to defend the innocent? This lawyer discussed the evidences with the next jury, and the boy was freed just as quickly as he had been convicted previously. Law was vindicated, justice administered, civilization honored in the court presided over by Judge Ira W. Jayne. 2. Blood-stains fessions are eligible for loans not exceeding $250 in any one year, or $500 in all. Repayment is arranged, on the installment basis of $10 a month, due to begin one year after graduation. The interest is 1 percent, but all students paying in full within one year after graduation receive a discount of 6 percent on the amount they actually borrow. To insure the fund against loss a premium of 10 per cent is charged, and after the entire amount loaned in any one year has been repaid with interest at 6 per cent, any premium remaining will be distributed among the borrowing students of that year with interest at 6 per cent in proportion to the premium paid by them. It is the desire of the Foundation to place the financing of higher education on such a secure business basis that any student who desires may obtain his college or university training without the feeling of charity or paternalism. It aims to take the self-financing of education out of the realm of sentiment and place it upon a plane of equality with all other undertakings of positive value. In the very act of repaying his debt the borrowing student is proving his financial integrity to the world at large. He can well be proud that he has borrowed for he has established his credit in case of future need. It is a well known fact that men who never borrow frequently find it exceedingly difficult to arrange a loan when a sudden emergency arises. The administration of the loan fund to students of the School of Medicine of Howard University is in the hands of a special committee composed of Dr. E. D. Williston, Chairman; Dr. F. P. Barrier and Dr. W. O. McNeill. Brooklynite moulded the goldbrick" or whether or not that hands of avaricious Missourians have reached across the expanse over into Kings county, New York, and sown seeds of imitation. In the meantime, we have again perused the President's message and find no reason for changing our interpretation of his able remarks upon the "commission" idea and the entire interracial question in America. Their blood—that of the colored soldier—saturated the soil of France with the same contents, and the same hue. But those were crucial days, which tried the very souls of the men who sailed to foreign lands to carry the light of Democracy. Today, they are disabled veterans,—those who were spared to return. They seek the solace and the comforts of Democracy's reward in these days when the minds of some men create the hyporisy of racial supremacy and Democracy being kin-virtues. And a Democratic Congressman, whose name is Wolff, and whose constituency presumably sent him on to congress to legislate for Democracy's ideals, has offered a resolution for the Congressional investigation of conditions at the Walter Reed Veterans' Hospital, at Washington, D. C. According to reports of the white press, the investigation is necessary because of the presence of Negro patients" at the hospital, which is a "bad feature" and because "it is hard to believe" that "white men and Negroes are being treated in the same wards." Thus, the blood-stains of America's finest warriors, picked and culled from the elect youth of a Christian nation, lose their efficiency when transferred from the area of shot and shell to the peaceful cots of a veterans' hospital. No longer do they represent the offering of a supreme sacrifice upon hell's flame and fire and death. They now come from wounds which will be everlasting souvenir of the most terrific conflict the world has ever seen. But, being far from the battle field they are now but mere memories of that conflict. Supremacy. Racial Supremacy! White Supremacy! And it lies in the cots of America's heroes of war who are striving to retain what few physical virtues they have left, after the cruel war. God gave them fine bodies and clear minds, but now they are shattered. Yes, their blood flowed together down the Marne, but their wounds "shall not pass" the racial inspection of a Democratic congressman from Missouri. There's No Question About This!

The following article is from the pen of Ex-Governor M. R. Patterson, of Tennessee and appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal as a tribute to the valor of two colored heroes who at the peril of their own lives plunged into the icy waters of James Creek Canal and rescued from a frozen death a man, his wife and ten-months old baby: Heroes In Sable "You can never tell who the heroes in this life may be. They are discovered as occasions arise. Woodfin of Kentucky and York of Tennessee were all unknown to fame, until circumstances gave them the chance to show in what heroic molds they were cast. "Woodfin and York are white, but a dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss, tells of another story of heroism, of brave and unselfish service of two men who had black skins. The story goes, that a man, his wife and 10-months old baby were in an automobile truck packed with their belongings, which they were moving to a new home, and when they reached the James Creek Canal the driver lost control of the car and it plunged into the icy waters with all on board. "The day it is said, was bitterly cold, with the temperature far below the freezing point, and it seemed that the father, mother and child would all drown and the water close over them. Without help there was no chance to survive. Two Negroes-Ed Jones and William Drake happened-to be walking down the road and witnessed the accident. Without a moment's hesitation these men plunged into the stream and effected the rescue of the three struggling forms in the water, who were then brought to Aberdeen and given attention. This is all. The account ended here. I don't know what, if anything, was done for Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials the Negroes, or if anybody praised them "I am sure they have not been decorated for bravery and were not met with brass bands and offers of entertainment. "The names of these Negroes will probably never again be in the papers. "They did not kill anybody-they saved somebody. "Do no commander ordered them to what they did, and nobody was there to look on except the help less trio in the swirling waters. "But God looked down upon what these obscure Negroes did, and Christ was near them when they risked their own lives to save the lives of others. "It won't do my friends, for us to hate or wrong a race that can furnish heroes like this. "It won't do not to give it a chance—not to help and encourage it. "Ed Jones and William Drake are black only outside—they are all white within. "Their act was as fine as any that may be found in any tale which has been told of heroic service. Ed Jones and William Drake have hearts of gold. They are gentlemen by right of what they did. "Their titles are clear to respect and honor." U. S. Taxes Took $68.37 For Each Soul In 1922 (CRUSADER SERVICE) Washington, Jan.—An average of $68.37 for every man, woman and child in the United States was collected in taxes in 1922 by the national, State, County and City Governments. Everybody paid his or her $68.37, whether he owned property or paid it in direct or indirect taxation. The $68.37 was paid for the privilege of being plucked occasionally by the politicians in control of national State and city Governments. But this $68.37 is said to be a piked sum beside the huge tax the American people pay into the coffers of the manufacturers and other American capitalists for the doubtful blessings of the tariff. ..Asked to Help. Plans Laid For Nation-wide Observance mercial Appeal Says Titles of Heroes Are Clear. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 23—National Negro Health Week will be observed this year from March 30 to April 5th, according to plans adopted at a meeting of twenty representatives of social and civic agencies held here last week. This annual event, which was inaugurated by the late Booker T. Washington, ten years ago, has meant a great deal to the race in health, education and improvement. Plans are being laid for making its observance this year more universal and effective than ever before. The movement in general is under the auspices of the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. R. R. Moton is president. In the South primary responsibility for its observance is delegated to the Interracial Commission and its 800 state and county branches. Cooperating actively are national, state and local boards of health, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A, and Y. W. C. A., medical, hygiene, tuberculosis and child welfare associations, churches, schools, colored women's clubs, chambers of commerce, fraternal orders, insurance companies and other civic and social agencies. All persons interested in promoting public health are asked to enter actively into the observance of Health Week. Governor Frees Boy Dog Thief (By The Associated Negro Press) Greenwood, S.

Arnold found a strange dog on his father's place and took the animal to the house. Later, he gave it to an uncle. When the owners learned of the dog's whereabouts, the boy was arrested and charged with theft. The Police Dragnet RHEUMATISM If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, HUMAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT.

The group was represented by attorney Walter H. Land. The arresting officer produced no evidence that showed the men had engaged in gambling. They had con- gregated in a house on Forty-third SL, and upon search a deck of cards was found. The judge did not hold this as incriminating evidence. Mary Mitchell sought an opportu- nity to converse with her "best" while he was confined in jail. She used the method of speaking thru the bars. This is a violation of the law, but the court stated that it did not think that any material harm had been done and dismissed the defendant.

Another's Buggy George Harris hitched himself up to another persons buggy and pulled it out into the streets, where he departed somewhat from the manner of beast and offered it for sale. It was testified in the Police Court. The man he offered to sell it to, recognized it as belonging to a friend of his. George wanted $15.00 for the buggy. This man bargained to pay him $10.00 for it, and then notified the owner. Both the buggy and George were recovered. George stated that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing. He got sixty days in jail, in which to learn better. Joseph Bright had Rosa Smith arrested in an effort to keep her from interfering with him.

EACH FOR HERSELF When forty women met recently to form a musical club in Norfolk, relates the Musical Courier, and were asked to write slips of paper the name of their choice for president, the organization of the club had to be abandoned because the nominating committee found on the slips the names of thirty-pine of those present.

Who was Benjamin Lundy? One of the first agitators of the anti-slavery movement was Benjamin Lundy who travelled thru a number of states and labored incessantly for the freeing of the Negro. In 1830 he says: "I have within ten years sacrificed several thousand dollars of my own earnings. I have travelled upwards of 5,000 miles on foot and more than 20,000 in other ways, have visited nineteen states of this Union and held more than two hundred public meetings, have performed two voyages to the West Indies, by which means the emancipation of a considerable number of slaves has been affected, and, I hope the way paved for the enfranchisement of many more." Considering the extreme dangers to which anyone agitating anti-slavery Was subjected in these times this was a remarkable work. 89. What abolitionist was dragged through Boston's streets with a halter around his neck? The implacable crusade of the abolitionists against slavery was opened by William Lloyd Garrison in 1831 when he founded The Liberator at Boston, and their warfare became organized by the formation of The New England, and the American Anti-slavery societies in 1832 and 1833. It was during this period that a mob of pro-slavists of Boston, broke up Colored Schools in that city, seized Mr. Garrison and dragged him through the city streets with a halter about his neck. He was finally rescued by the Mayor, who protected him from violence. 99. Who were the leaders of the Anti-slavery Party? Among the leaders of the Anti-slavery Party were Parker Pillsbury, Stephen Foster, James G. Birney, Samuel Brook, E. P. Lovejoy, Cassius M. Clay and John Brown, of whom it may be said that it was given to him to impress upon the hearts of the American people that a nation half slave and half free could not exist. NEXT WEEK'S WHATNOTS 91.

DABNEY Virginia Union University RELIGION IN OUR COLLEGES From time to time colleges are servely criticized for their indifferent attitude toward religion. It is claimed that science is constantly gaining ground to the distinct loss of religion. Many religionists lament the fact that in several colleges the enrollment in the theological department is not keeping pace with treatment in other departments. A few prominent ministers are keeping tab on the religious views of professors in the theological department less some of them stay away from the faith. Compulsory chapel attendance has been discussed pre and con by school heads and professors. Some look upon the absence of compulsory chapel as irreligious. According to an artifact printed in the "World" On January 22, 1922, Harvard has been classed as a "Godless" university because chapel attendance is not compulsory there and only a few students attend the services.

Moore, chairman of the Harvard Board of Preachers, answered the charge as follows: "Compulsory chapel would be as distasteful to the officers of Harvard as to the students. Perhaps if I were running a preparatory school, I would have chapel made compulsory, but not in college. At Yale the turmoil during the services is terrible. For a popular preacher the best that can be expected is a general semi-quiet reading a newspaper. And that is because of compulsory chapel." "Here every man who attends chapel does it because he wants to. Thirteen colleges may have got down on their faces at Indianapolis to pray for us, but prayers and advice are not likely to make our chapel attendance better or worse. "We don't like standardization of ideas and ideals. And we have no compulsory chapel. These things give other colleges the impression that we are Godless. We thank them for praying for us, but we call our conception higher. "The truth of the matter is that Harvard is not irregulous, but unreligious."

This has been a long contested question Te Marxim socialists have had little or no faith in a political program for the socialist movement. For their political efforts are nothing. They are exponents of the economic program. They preach direct action. Modern socialists and radicals except the Bolshevik group, believe in the efficacy of political action. There is a modicum of truth in both views. The world in its issues for Wednesday, January 23, hears the news of Mac Donald's success as follows: "For the first time in the world's history labor has taken control of the government of a great power without preliminary and bloody revolutions." There should be no difficulty for keen students of history to account for this bloodless revolution in England. Here a form of government exists which makes it possible for labor to accomplish much through politics. Though a monarchy in form, England is quite democratic in spirit.

In the case of Russia we have a different situation. The great mass of peasants were ignorant serfs under the most autoritarian and absolute government of the nineteenth century. Political action offered no hope to those victims of tyrannical government but the people did have, a basis for action thru their industrial organization. And the establishing of the Soviet was the most logical step for them to take. The program for the workers to take then in ameliorating their condition depends upon and will be determined by the form of government, the level of intelligence, the state of public opinion and the economic condition of the nation concerned. What was necessary in Russia is necessary neither in England nor the United States. Anyone or group of individuals who advocates the policies for the masses of this country which were necessary in Russia, displays a lack of intelligence regarding this question and needs to spend some more mental energy on the problem as a whole.

USE GUIDE CLASSIFIED 'ADS' THY BRING RESULTS contact with this great man. George E. Downing, of the High School class of '24, spoke on the subject, "What Our President Means to Us." Mr. Downing who has unusual oratorical ability, pointed out the most outstanding characteristics which make Dr. J. Gandy, the present President of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, loved and honored by the student body. He dented the subject under his topics: the capacity for sustained efforts, (2)his achievements as an educator, and (3) his purity of Christian virtues. Those who know of the work of Dr. Gandy as a teacher and the president of V. N. & I. I. can testify to the truthfulness of the affirmative of these points. Mr. Downing, speaking for the student body, emphasized their complete and high傲 in their progressiveness to lead the institute to the highest plane of usefulness in the education of the Negro boys and girls of Virginia. He is a man of broad vision, wide experience as an educator, strong judgement, and an indomitable will to put into operation the best possible measures for the advancement of the youth of the race. Dr. Gandy spoke for a few moments on the wonderful opportunities of a teacher. He emphasized the superior place which a teacher holds in the development of a people, the immortality of his work, and the love and honor which come to a truly consecrated teacher. Other profession," said Dr. Gandy, "has such an opportunity to create a great people as the teaching profession, as the award of a teacher, as to be measured by dollars and cents, but by the consciousness of knowing that he is a builder with God, that his work like God's is living. The music for the occasion consisted of the favorite hymns of the three presidents which were sung by the student body. The Men's Glee Club and the Tieble Clof Club sang very appropriate selections, Mrs. B. G. King, Director of the Music Department, sang "There Is No Death."

In other words, four out of five children in India do not have a chance to learn to read and write. "Due to economic conditions in India, which are accurately represented by the fact that the wage of unskilled labor in that over-populated country is 8 cents a day, it has not been possible thru taxation by the Government or even by direct gifts from the government, the taxes available were used for education, to provide a system of compulsory primary education for every child in India. "The Government has promised municificent advances in its grants from taxes to improve the schools. From foreign countries gifts in the last two years have greatly in- creased. We hope in another year to have primary-school facilities for three children out of five."

Whit God did for Israel in Deut. — Deut. 4: 32-34. Onward they went, and the mountains closed around them; upwards thru winding roads, under high cliff, and over rugged ass, and through gigantic forms, on which thanks of creation fresh and powerful; all at last, through all the different valleys, the whole body of the people were assembled. On their right hand and on the left rose long succession of offy rocks, forming great avenues, like the approaches which they had and at last, through all the different valleys, the whole body of the people were assembled. On their right hand and in the left rose long succession of lofty rocks, forming vast avenues. I like each of which they had been leading to the Egyptian temple between colossal figures of men and of gods. At the end of this broad avenue, rising immediately out of the level plain or which they encamped, tower the massive cliffs of Sinai, like the huge altar of some natural temple, enriched by peaks of every shape and height, the natural pyramids of the desert. In this sanctuary, secluded from all earthly things, raised high above ever, itself, itself, arrived, as it must have seemed to them, at the very end of the world-the waited for the revelation of God. (Dean Stanley.) Not since the world began, not since man began his existence upon the earth had the Great God of the universe wrought so great a deliverance for any people as he had for Israel. Not only was the exodus an unheard of thing, but the giving of the law at Sinai was much more remarkable: the voice of the fire, the voice of the fire, and the people hearing that voice and living. Reed verse 94. "It it seems to have been a general belief that if God appended to men it was for the purpose of destroying them. And indeed most of the extraordinary manifestations of God were in a way of judgments; but here it was different. God appalled to men and extirpated a manny manner, but it was for the deliverance and support of the people. They heard his voice speaking-with them in a distinct arti-计 manner. They saw the fire and symbol of his presence, the appearances of which demonstrate it be super-natural. God appended so terrible, yet no man was destroys, for to have not to destroy, but to have "Clarke." 2. The Purpose of God in Preserving Israel—Ns. 35, 36. Jebahov's manifestations had been made alike from heaven and upon earth, with the intention of impressing vividly upon Israel the truth and reality of his word. Out of heaven had Israel heard the thunderings of God (Ex. 19: 16), that he might discipline them that is, the people might be brought to a temper of becoming grace; and upon earth (Ex. 19: 18) had they seen his great fire-embracing the fear of him in a concrete form. "Priest." God, the true and living Jacob, has himself known unto the Hebrew race, that mankind might know and worship one God (Moehismet). "A large part of the significance of Moses can be read in his exaltation of, One Only God as the man of man's spiritual source. His conviction he had been a strain in monotheism he had been a strain in mankind as far as that history goes back. But it is around his giant figure that the memories of the struggle first begin to group themselves, is in the Law that goes his name the concern of, One Only God is the basis of "Basil King." And a second reason given why Jehovah preserved Israel-made choice of them as the peculiar people, that he instructed them (them His Holy Law). "To indicate still further the pre-eminence of Israel, Moses phasizes the supernatural center of the revelation God had grievous for the audience and the awful manner of its delivery; God spake to them with audible voice out of heaven CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Beto state Gumberland street, Sunday kite 9:30 a.m. m. 1:30 a.m. m. 1:30 a.m. m. 7:45 p.m. w.

You become a Judas by harboring sin in your life. One sin calls for an other. Living a crooked life calls for spending more than your income. You can tell your wife what you can or cannot afford, and she will let you off. But a 'soal-mate' de- mands what she wants under pen- tition, than exposes his reputation thus, a man is often driven to sin calls for another. Lying a crooked life calls for spending more than your income. You can tell your wife what you can or cannot afford, and she will let you off. But a mischievous man who she under penalty of exposal Rather than lose his reputation thus, a man is often driven to dishonesty. And dishonesty monas tressy to his lodge or his corporation. He must run the risk of breaching a great enterprise for the sake of saving his standing." With these warning words of practical application, Richard H. Church had his sermon last Sunday right at the First Baptist Church on "The Story Of A morous Suicide." A MAN OR PLANESE A MAN OF THROSS After the first meeting of all the guilds of the Bible Judas was the one most properly described by the term notorious, the speaker declared that Judas had had a wonderful opportunity, being evidently gifted as the rest of the Apostles, and whining for himself a position of honor and trust as the treasurer of this little hand of destiny. "Besides," continued the pastor, "Judas, opportunity is evident in his privilege of the daily devotions and the daily devotions led effectively by the Master, daily lessons from the Master Teacher, and those intimate revelations from Jesus as to his purposes, his ideals, his encouragements and his sources of strength. And then think of how the Master took special pains with Judas. Besides general cautions, there were many direct threats aimed evidently at his authority. Jesus warned, "Have not I deserved you the twelve, and one of your devil." FINAL DISCLAGE FINAL DISGrace In "spill of Judas's fine presents, he misbehave failed. His fellow Apostles branded him as a devil and a sign of perdition, and declared that it were better he had never been born. I need not hasten to add that all after goes have concurred in these certain judgments. No more despicable epithet could be hurled at a man that he is a Judas. The shears sing amid their tolls and tears, "I don't want to be a Judas in my heart." You do not wander when you recall that Judas commits the most disgraceful act a man can be guilty of: loss treachery, double-crossing a benefactor and a friend. The presuming sign of Judas' arrest was a free Judas from Judas. The reigned tokens of love that men not being innocent girlfriend, supported helpers bearer, leaders of great cause, and false friends deliver on their facto factor. SECRET OF FAILURE "The true explanation of Judah's life failure comes from a story in character formation. Judah was a promising leader who has failed. He piled up and stole from the common lang with which he was intrusted. His in-christlike ambitions were baffled by Jesus's disclosure of his true program and methods. Finally there came the realization that he was falling out of harmony with Jesus and the other of the Apocalypse. Such views mirsed in Jeremiah in occasionally cropping at a moment of his mortal torment or a follow Apocalypse's advancement, resulted in making him an unfaithful man capable of his ultimate disgraceful acts, betrayal and suicide instead of repentance and a new start." This Sunday night's sermon will goal with "The Story Of A Famous Martyr." until fire and they heard his words out the fire. 5. God's Chain on Israel for Her Obligation—No. 37.48. The singular honor done them calls for singular obedience—from three, for it might justly be expected that they should do more for God than any other people would, since God had done so much for their burying. There is every sound and some season why Israel should jee-veh-el—He had loved their fathers, delivered their seed after them from Egyptian bondage, drove out before Israel her most powerful enemies, and gave to the posterity of Abraham a land flowing with milk and honey. The Israelites did know that was a God in Heaven above and upon the earth beneath. "The Israelites did not take possession of the land of their enemies by their own might. Jehovah went before them into battle; Deut. 8:17-18."—Dummelow. There are three reasons why Je-vi-ist should keep the commandments of God (a) prosperity promised by God (b) promise children (c) they would be a mighty people and dwell long in the Godly Land. BRIGGSGRAMS The Exodus and Law given to Sinai are events, for mankind, pregnant with momentous consequences and teeming with mighty rebellions. Every Christian nation is a highly privileged nation; they are God's chosen. The Sunday School was out in full numbers. The choir crowned itself with laurels by the beautiful renditions. At the morning hour the pastor preached to an appreciative audience from the theme "Stronger Than Sampson." The occasion was a get-to-gether meeting of the St. John's Brotherhood. The entire ministry reserved for men, as with only flank on the left, with women. The Brotherhood is to be congratulated for its splendid effort. The Endeavors' meetings were helpful and inspirink, led by the Delta Alpha S. Class, Mrs. Spleenp, teacher. At night the pulpit was filled by The Rev. Mr. L. L. Berry, pastor of the Emanuel Church of Mouth, while music was conducted by his son, the direction of the choir. Emanuel's choir is well recognized as one of the leading chars of Tidewater and Sunday night it lived up to its record. Many beautiful anthems were sung, all waiting you to a truce of grace. Dr. Berry was in fine trim and greatly uplifted his audience from the theme "The Dummy Tree." He certainly sustained his reputation as a pulpit of great ability. Next Sunday Holy Communion at the morning at 7:30 p.m. "Mighty Conquerors," will be the theme of the sermon. A hearty welcome is extended to strangers. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH "Be Prud of Jesus" was the theme of the sermon probed by the pastor last Sunday morning. In the evening Rev Bowling preached the second series in his special sermons from the subject, "The Stray of Notorious Suicide." There were three accessions to the church during the day. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. were well attended. Strangers and visitors are always welcomed. MT. LEBANON BAPT. CHURCH The prayer service and Sunday School were very good. At 11:30 the pastor delivered one of the greatest sermons we have heard from the subject, "The Church Crossing the Red Sea." In the afternoon, Dr. Langston came on the pastor as a surprise, and he lighted him very bright. The lady ushered him and held their initiation services and Dr. Langston delivered a masterly sermon to them on "Service." The B. Y. P. U. met at the usual hour and a fine program was rendered. At night the pastor gave another firey sermon from Ps. 9-7:10. Next Sunday the pastor will preach a special sermon to the school at 3 p. P. Holy Communion at 3 p. P. Administered. The B. Y. P. U. will be held at 5:30, and the pastor will preach at night. A cordial welcome awaits you all. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST The Supt. Mr. G. C. Madison, of the Sunday School, made a splendid report of the financial standing of the school. The Asst. Supt. Mr. Hamison Elliott presented to the Supt. a package as an appreciation for his years work. At 11:30 the pastor preached a wonderful sermon from the subject, "Love Your Enemies." His message was helpful and inspiring. At 5:30 the B. P. Y. U. held their exercises and Mr. Hackney presided. Locations was interestingly taught. Our next Sunday Miss E. L. Hawkins will a presentation worth the while of writing it. At 7 p. a short prayer service was held. At 7:50 the pastor preached a strong message, set our goal on fire.

At 8:30 p. m. the pastor preached another excellent sermon which was full of inspiration. He will return on Friday. He will be intergration farewell until he leave Norfolk on February 2. While away Rev. Ransome will occupy his pulpit. DEAN BRIGGS' TALKS ON THE RELIGIOUS LIFE Watch Ye, Stand fast in the faith, Quit Ye like men, be strong. I Cor. 16 : 13. HOW TO KILL A PREACHER (By J. E. BRIGGS) Attentive Churches: If there is a congregation who wants to put the preacher out of business, give earnest heed to what is here in written—These suggestions if carefully carried out are guaranteed to kill any preacher. (1) Be sure not to go to church on bad Sundays, especially if you are certain that there will not be many present. (2) On prayer-meeting night, go to your lodge-meeting of to the movies; anywhere but the prayer meeting. (3) Whenever you do go to church, always leave the service without greeting your pastor or shaking his hand. (4) Every chance you get knock him, never say anything good about him, always say something derogatory about his sermons. (5) Whenever you get sick, do not let him know any thing about it; but cuss him out because he did not come to see you. (6) See to it that he does not get a nickle more than the church has solemnly promised to pay him for his services. Do not ever give him a present or a token of appreciation, that might make him think that you appreciated his services. (7) While you paym his salary, grumble about it as much as you can—"He should preach the gospel and not think about salary." Pay him as little as you possible can. So that if he is to keep body and spirit together and your pastor he must live on earth and board in heaven. (8) Be as indifferent and cool (the cooler the better) as you can! Remember that you never invite anyone to your home and see to it that you have in your family a social calls that might make him think that he was well thought of. (9) Whenever he asks you to do something for the church, always have some feel excuse for not doing it—"That, what we pay you for." (10) If he does not make frequent mastural calls to your home—at least twice a month, raise "Cain" about it. (11) Never offer to help him—he might think that you are putting in his business. If you have any good suggestions to make, tell them to the pubit committee or to the suggestion. If the eleven forging rules do not kill the preacher, they will so badly break him, that he will be discouraged and leave town Activities A. M. E. General Conference In May Lecisville, Ky.—(A. N. P.) The twenty-eight Quadrennial Session of the African Methodist Church will convene in the Jefferson County Armory, Louisville, Kentucky from May 5th to May 21st inclusive.

All of the seventeen active Bishops and many of the more than seven thousand ministers will be present and take an active part in the deliberations. The African Methodist Church is the largest organized Negro body in the world. Founded by Richard Allen more than a hundred years ago in the city of Philadelphia in 1816 when he bequeath to break up with Philadelphia brothers and surrounded by a few ministers who had the courage and the fortitude to stand alone, this great peer of the church and the race began a movement that was to become world wide. Through the entry that has passed, the church has had many struggles, but the work has never failed. In 1831, the church, one half of the news of which were empty, the organization has developed until today they number more than seven thousand churches among their ranks, more than seven thousand ministers eighteen colleges and universities, six thousand students and almost a million commuters. Their Bishops are men of learning. Rev. Noah Williams, of Quince Church, Louisville, Ky., is the entertaining minister and Executive Secretary of the conference. Rev. Williams is an able leader and has shown remarkable ability in opening event.

He is a candidate for one of the general officers of the church. The valuable city will be to the limit to accommodate the delegation who will attend the conference. State delegates have been assigned to homes by streets. BANK STREET BAPTIST W. J. SCOTT Rev. G. M. Long preached an instructive and inspiring sermon at the Bank Street Church Sunday morning. The text was from Romans; 14 chap. 17 verse. "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Rev. Lone's subject was, "Constitutions of Christianity; the Kingdom of God synonymous with Christianity." The subject was discussed from three leading thoughts. The speaker pointed out first, things of which Christianity does not consist, namely. It is did not meat and drink; it is to say, christianity does not consist of externalities, rites and rituals. God is not concerned with our outward offerings unless they be properly insured. He set forth in the next place those fundamental virtues of which Christianity does consist; namely, righteousness in all our human relations; peace toward God, peace within our own hearts, and peace toward our fellow men and joy. This joy, as it was preached in the sermon and the joy of the intention and the joy of necquainties. It is also more evident that this joy is permanent and everlasting. The joy in this world passes away but joy in the heart of a Christian abides forever. It is finally shown that the source of this righteousness, peace, and joy is the Holy Ghost. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Douglass Park The Rev. W. H. Harrel, B D., preached an inspiring sermon from the text found in the 4th chapter of Mirah, 6 verses, subject, "The Vine and the Fir Tree, and the Nations shall Flow Unto it, the Foundation, and all Nations shall praise God." All the congregation was delightfully impressed by the sermon.

Those of us who are still "groping in the dark," so to say, and suffering disappointments and heartaches over the condition of our hair know that their joy must be great when they feel like there is nothing left to keep them from holding their head up high and walking along knowing that everybody who sees them admires the way their hair stays so smooth and silky. This is not just one case purposely picked out to show what Pluko hair dressing is doing. Thousands of our girls and women, and boys and men too are having the same things to say about it. Miss Luella Watkins, one of the society leaders of the race in Houston, Texas; James E. Washington, prominent politician and owner and editor of the Western World Reporter, of Memphis, Tenn; Rev. Charles E. Burns, Minister and Trustee of the Church of the Living God, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Miss Ellen Burton, of Atlanta, Ga., who has played to crowded theatres all over the South; Miss Virginia Hartley of Norfolk, Va., a prominent member of the Beulah Benbow Company playing the more important theatres in the south and noted for their beautiful girls; Miss Annie Lorita Frazier, beautiful and talented soprano of the Alpha Opera Company, whose portrayal of famous operatic roles has created such a sensation that theatres are "sold out" quickly wherever she appears; Louise Jackson, musical comedy star whose talent has won her recognition from coast to coast as one of the real stars of our theatres, the wife of "Hardtack" Jackson; and many others too great to mention them all are praising Pluko Hair Dressing. Not long ago someone asked one of the celebrated LaFayette Players how she managed to fix her hair, so she naturally takes the part of the different characters she plays. Her eyes sparkled and she said as quick as a flash—"Many of the parts I play call for long beautiful hair to carry the impression of the real character. I have been aided greatly in doing this through the use of Pluko Hair Dressing, which has given me a wealth of long, silky hair. I therefore take great pleasure in telling you, so you may know how to make your hair just as attractive as mine is." The LaFayette Players are known all over the country, and are thought of along with the great artists of the stage in their work of producing all the best dramatic plays at our leading theatres, such as the Grand in Chicago, the Dunbar in Philadelphia, the Howard in Washington, D. C., the Douglas in Baltimore and many others. When one of their stars says that she is able to make Pluko do for her hair what everything else failed to do, you know she is anxious for all her fellow girls and women to know about it, because she knows how we have all tried time and again most of the reported discoveries which were supposed to make coarse and dull hair stars says that she is able to make Pluko do for her hair what everything else failed to do, you know she is anxious for all her fellow girls and women to know about it, because she knows how we have all tried time and again most of the reported discoveries which were supposed to make coarse and dull hair There is only one answer to such wonderful and tremendous testimony for a thing which is proving a real blessing to our race and that is, Pluko is doing what so many other things promised to do but failed—and the best part of it is that Pluko costs less than other hair dressing. Although the name has been changed to "Pluko" (so it is easier to remember and ask for at your dealer,) the amber colored is still sold in the Big Green Can for 25c, and the white dressing in the Big Black and White Can for 40c, by dealers everywhere.

It is said now that the Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in the way of the Equal Rights League and that the Lincoln League is in the way of Professor Miller's Sanhedrin. Out of the turmoil the race may get something it wants. Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, who wants the Democratic nomination for President, has announced his platform as being opposed to Invisible Empire rule and lawlessness generally, to bonus to the soldiers because it is immoral and in favor of tax reduction. That is some more platform. The Labor party has triumphed in Great Britain, and Great Britain for the first time has a Laborite Premier and Cabinet, something never dreamed of in the philosophy of British Tories. The common people are now the rulers of Great Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. Kings and nobility are in the discard. Democracy is gripping the governments of the earth. Fifty-six years ago the Negro people first voted in a Presidential year. They voted solidly for General Grant against Horatio Seymour of New York. The National Democratic convention will meet in New York, June 24, fifty-six years after the nomination and defeat of Seymour. Would that indicate that the nominee of the Democratic party this year will be knocked down as Seymour was? Perhaps. Events also move in cycles.

Better Mail Service On Newspapers The reading public and publisher welcome the recent announcement by Postmaster General New that hereafter newspapers will be expedited thru mails as first class matter. The enforcement of this regulation will have salutary effect upon the "nerves" millions of Americans. Besides it will result in the saving to the public of a huge sum of money. Every newspaper publisher is familiar with the expense and annoyance that is occasioned by the sending out of explanatory and apologetic communications to subscribers a account of delay in delivery of publications, and vice versa. In this action the Post Office Department has performed an admirable example of putting business into government. There is no other department of the federal government that daily touches the life of the people so vitally as does the postal service. The Postmaster General has cut another string of red tape again heightened the efficiency of his department and brought closer to the people one of their public institutions. For this he is to be commended.

Granting this to be true, and inasmuch as the school board is charged with the responsibility of employing persons competent to care for school property, it is not unreasonable to assume that this appointment was the logical sequence of controlling circumstances.

But since this is a realization in the distance, and made the many Southern tradition, when the color is reversed in particular cases when emoluments are alluring to the masses of the other group, we protest grounds that justice has been even worse. We have not reason to believe that the Norfolk school board is indifferent to racial harmony and the good of the people in this city.

We now charge them with wilful violence in making this appointment, other believe a situation arose when used a reversal of custom, which unfortunately, however, is easily susse to the construction or unfair.

There are others who claim to be able to prove their fitness for the work if given the opportunity. In view of these disclosures, it is felt that the school board should reopen the matter, and if there is merit in these claims, then by right of every Southern tradition, by the rule of simple justice, and for the best interests of this community a Negro should have the job. The Norfolk Journal and Guide is not an exponent of sectionalism. It would be better for America if this question of white for white and colored for colored were forever effaced from our civilization. But since this is a realization yet in the distance, and made the more so by Southern tradition, when the custom is reversed in particular cases where the emoluments are alluring to the members of the other group, we protest on the grounds that justice has been evaded. We have not reason to believe that the Norfolk school board is indifferent to racial harmony and the good of the colored people in this city. Its administration of the schools has been such as to inspire confidence, and its members have done much that has been particularly encouraging to our group. Nor do we now charge them with wilful injustice in making this appointment, but rather believe a situation arose which caused a reversal of custom, which unfortunately, however, is easily susceptible to the construction or unfairness. For the school board to reverse itself and give the appointment to a competent colored man requires no compromise, for such would simply be in keeping with traditional policy. New High School Principals Prof. Charles H. Reynolds, form Clarke University. Atlanta, and P. P. Southall, of Norfolk. will e on their duties of principal and as t principal respectively of the h school next week. The Journal and Guide welco Prof. Charles H. Reynolds, formerly of Clarke University. Atlanta, and Prof. E. P. Southall, of Norfolk. will enter upon their duties of principal and assistant principal respectively of the new high school next week. The Journal and Guide welcomes Prof. Reynolds to the city, and hopes for him and his co-workers a harmonious and successful career in their new work Prof. Reynolds comes to us well recommended, and it is felt that with the cooperation of his faculty, the public and his superiors, his services here will materially benefit this community. Prof. Southall is a promising young educator. He has prepared himself for greater responsibilities thru a most efficient conduct of the work upon which he has engaged. He is not only a teacher, but a constant student. It is hoped that no time will be lost in a fusion of common interests between the new principals and the present faculty. In the Norfolk school system are many capable teachers and principals, and the bringing of an outside man here for the particular work to be executed at the new high school should not be viewed as any reflection upon their abilities. The city of Norfolk when in need of men to execute a particular work generally takes the world for its field of selection, whether the need is for a City Manager, Port Director, Traffic Expert, Director of Public Safety or for a man to fill any other position that requires special training along certain lines, and absolute freedom from whatever local factional influences that may have contributed to his selection. There is no reason to suppose the school board would have departed from this rule. The grouping of several thousand students under a single roof into elementary, vocational and high school classes will present a more than ordinary problem in school administration, and it was the exercise of practical judgment that prompted the school board to seek a man to entrust with such a problem whose record, at least embraced a more than routine conduct of schools. Prof. D. G. Jacox, our present principal thru many years of service in the Norfolk school system, has built a record in which he may justly take pride, and one for which the citizens of Norfolk and Negro education will ever owe a debt of gratitude. He has been a loyal and faithful public servant, giving at all times the best of himself for the advancement of the youth of his race. His sphere of influence has not been limited to Norfolk, but even unto the outlying county districts he has gone in season and out of season to render cheerfully whatever service he might in the cause of education. Much that we in this city have acquired in educational advantages in recent years is largely due to his untiring efforts. It matters not who supplants him now, his record is ineffacable, and the Journal and Guide believes that he is yet of inestimable value to Norfolk's school system. It is to be hoped that the school board will see its way clear to retain him in a position commensurate with his past record and present worth. Meaningless Hallelujahs Out of the myth of a mere sprinkle of a return to the South of the flood of race migrants that swept into the industrial centers of the North and West last year, depopulating the green fields of Dixie, several Southern journals have created an illusory mass reversal of the migration tide. They profess to see a grand shuffle back home of the brethren, and with an air of "I told you so" jubilancy, proclaim King Winter the benefactor of the South and those who are returning to its sunshine. Insofar as this vociferous applause is supported by the facts, it becomes a meaningless hallelujah. In other columns of this paper are three articles; one an editorial reprinted from the Elizabeth City Independent, another a survey released by the Preston News Service and the third, an excerpt from an article-written by Howard Snyder, a white Mississippiian, which appeared in a recent issue of the North American Review, all tending to explode the myth of mass return of Southern Negroes that these journals have attempted to create. It is true, as the Independent points out, a few of those who left are returning, but, in the main, they are those whose coming back will not add anything to the productivity of Southern soil nor its economic betterment. They are the stragglers; the defectives, physical and otherwise. Through improvidence, they have not prepared themselves for a Northern winter, and mentally, they are not of sufficient stability to remain anywhere longer than a season. Their return here is not good cause for rejoicing. Just as soon as the dogs of winter are lulled to sleep, they will again point their noses in other directions away from Dixie. They have annually followed the trail of the geese since the days when the rods and bumpers were a more favorable mode of travel for those of their ilk. On the other hand, those capable, strong and tractable workers, who "cut the bridge aloose behind them" when they left—sold homes, land, bag and baggage—have settled in the whirling industries of the North to "live or die, to survive of perish," but not to return to the South to live again, and the latest reports are that they are not perishing. Let the Storm Howl and the Winds Blow All signs point to the vital fact that the Afro-American people have been "roused up" to a consciousness that they should not expect others to do for them what they can and should do for themselves. Not only is this true of the Negroid people of the United States, but of those of the West Indies and Africa as well. Who "roused them up?" That is an interesting question. Some say one thing and some another. The fact is indisputable, and, after all, that is the main thing. "Who struck Billy Patterson?" Who started the Chicago fire? "How does Einstein's theory of Relativity affect me?" and a thousand and one other puzzling questions will never be answered. The steady growth of our industrial efficiency and productivity; of our business ventures of all sorts; and of our banking and insurance concerns, showing that the people are making money and saving some of it, with our marvellous growth in home and church life all go to show that the storm may howl and the winds may blow, and they do tempestuously, but that the race is "roused up" and doing things which make for power and respectability. We have got the Hope of Inspiration and we are making the most and not the least of it, and The Journal and Guide, which likes always to strike the hopeful and not the despairing note, feels we are learning how to overcome obstacles by doing things that should be done and that we are beginning to reap what we have sown. And those who do not sow, how can they expect to reap? SCIENCE SAYS THESE WON'T MIX WELL AND WATER HERE JANITOR, TAKE THESE AND CARRY THEM OUT. ORDERS WHITE CUSTOMER.

The selection of New York as the convention city by the Democratic Party is, in the vernacular of the street, 'a knock out. As a creeds grow more liberal, the innocent bystander is forced to adopt a very unsafe policy: Procrastination until the war subsides. The request to eliminate from the diplomatic corps of this country "cookie pushers" is just about as indigestible as the bonus doughbys in peace time. No satisfactory way of curbing bootleg sales is suggested by the Anti-Saloon League when they accept "Scofflaw" as a name to call law violators. As an appropriate name for hooch, Scofflaw would be a splendid success. As a compliment to the Bok Peace prize, may we say that if Congressional investigation means free publicity? Thanks.

What They Say Best Among Fifty Editor Journal and Guide. Sir: Please accept the congratulations of an humble scribe upon the very excellent anniversary number of the Norfolk Journal and Guide that came to my desk last week. The comprehensiveness of the paper was quite astonishing. There was much of local consequence, and an equal amount of reading matter of nation wide interest. The magazine section, Part Two, was filled with especially well selected copy. After reading more than fifty holiday issues of race publications, I unhesitatingly pronounce yours as being the best that came to my notice. J. A.

It is a very easy thing to find houses costing from $4,500 to $7,000, except in one case where the price of one home in a desirable locality found its way up to $9,000. Who is going to buy them? They who have the privilege of living in Ghent and other select residential sections don't dream of such prices. Of course the terms of purchase are being modified until it looks like going in for a song. But that is the way the hare is caught. The door is wide open; the bait is plentiful, and the poor creature walks in both soul and body. And he never comes out. It is a difficult thing to buy a home costing $4,000 and get carrying charges for less than $30 per month, less taxes and the cost of water and light, besides necessary repairs. In taking on such charges you had better make sure you are getting a handsome salary and don't mistake $100 per month to be so handsome. It is sometimes good to make a comparison between the ease of getting into a nice home and the ease of getting and keeping a job that pays a handsome salary. J. P. W. Spirit of the Press (PRESTON NEWS SERVICE) Democratic propagandists of today are busy reenacting the Fox-and-sour-grapes" failure of Aesop's animal difference is that, according to Aesop, the Fox really wanted the grapes, but the Democrats do not sincerely want them; nor do they want anyone else to have them. All along the line the propagandists are flashing the "news" that "Negroes, unable to withstand the snows and cold of the North, are flocking back to Dixieland." The propagandists would almost have you believe that there is not enough snow to transport the "frozen" Negro migrant back to the Sunny South—the land of cotton and clauses— ADVERTISING - What Kind Pays BY HENRY F. ARNOLD (Baltimore) Afro-American A move is being made by the to curtail what newspapers and adVERTISEMENT. It has been shown by this orlars are being spent by merchand and other such forms of ADVEN and other forms of ADVERT. Thousands of hand bills are lit thrown into the vestibules of t wives never see them. This kind dency to lead merchants to believe pay. THEY ARE RIGHT IN THE CERTAIN FORMS OF ADVERT AND NEVER WILL PAY. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING A move is being made by the National Advertisers Association, to curtail what newspapers and advertising agencies term cheap ADVERTISEMENT. It has been shown by this organization, that thousands of dollars are being spent by merchants annually in hand bills, programs, and other such forms of ADVERTISEMENT that rarely reaches those whom the merchants desire to reach. Thousands of hand bills are literally strewn over the streets, and thrown into the vestibule of the residential districts, yet housewives move on them. This kind of ADVERTISEMENT has a tendency to lead merchants to believe that ADVERTISEMENT doesn't pay. THEY ARE RIGHT IN THEIR CONTENTION. THERE ARE CERTAIN FORMS OF ADVERTISEMENTS THAT DO NOT PAY AND NEVER WILL PAY. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING PAYS. Why. Because the newspaper is bought by the purchaser with the purpose of reading it, and every page is carefully scanned. When a person goes to a theatre or any other form of attraction they go there to read the performer or performance. They do not go there to read ADVERTISEMENTS. When a hand bill is thrown into the vestibule of a home, there are ten chances to one that it will be blown away by the wind or destroyed otherwise. That's why big merchants use the NEWSPAPER instead of this form of advertising. The performer must use the newspaper if he expects that he expects to draw a crowd. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT only pays it, is the modem. All other methods are cheap. Use the NEWSPAPER TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS, IF YOU WANTING FOR RESULTS. CHEAP ADVERTISING- DOESN'T PAY Editor Journal and Guide Norfolk, Va. (We mean "grandfather" clauses of course.) It doesn't take more than a one-candle-power light to pervade the smoke-screen and expose the naked causes of this modern Aesop's fable. Down in the Democratic balliwicks of the states which are able, through instrumentalities of evasion, to secure representation and tabulate electoral votes, despite the fact that a large percentage of their citizens are held voteless, they are beginning to fear the transition of the silent ballots of their colored population. The Democratic philosophers on the subject of scientific balloting know, on a time a full-grown Negro migrant buys a first-class ticket to the North, even though he doesn't receive first-class service until he changes to a northern junction joining away goes a silent vote, which, after compliance with the laws of northern states finds a voice with which to express itself. And they know that that voice will be entirely out of harmony with the principles and practices of the National Democratic party. Hence, like a drowning man grasping at a straw, their only hope is to try to induce Negro migrants to return to Dixieland, where they could be bottled up again. Failing in this, the propagandists would try to have the public believe that "flocks of Negroes are returning to Dixieland and thus infiltrate the morale of the colony and their friends, who are quite willing that they should go to the polls and exercise the constitutional right of suffrage. Here is the answer to the bunk of the propagandists. Eeven since the census of 1920 up to the close of 1923, the Negro population of important northern cities has increased from 2,947 to 18,324; Philadelphia, from 13,429 to 15,631; Baltimore, from 10,832 to 114,210; Chicago, from 10,958 to 136,396; Detroit, from 40,838 to 41,613; Louis, from 69,854 to 79,562; Indianapolis, from 34,578 to 39,449; Boston, from 16,350 to 18,507; Kansas City, from 30,719 to 33,486; Omaha, from 10,479 to 33,322; Cincinnati, from 34,451 to 44,369; Columbus, from 22,181 to 25,816; and Pittsburgh, from 37,725 to 42,650. Query: Are "flocks of Negroes returning South?" Answer: Yes they are NOT returning South A Dastardly Attack From The Newport News Star Richmond, Va., Jan. 16—Delegate Hurry R. Houston will introduce a bill to demand to authorize the trustees of the Virginia school for Colored Deaf and Blind Children, located near Newport News, to sell the farm now occupied and purchase acreage near the burburban line, which will obviate the necessity of white teachers walking thru a Negro settlement in order to reach the school. Of all the absurd things which have ever come to our notice, the above seems to cap the climax. Does anyone suppose that these white teachers who are teaching Negro deaf and blind children are the love for humanity they have in mind? Certainly if this was the fact, the could not be guilty of the contact they have with helpless individuals and refuse to pass by the homes of Negro fellow citizens who are equally as good as they are, in all Health,Sociology,Economics Broadcaster by the school of Pa Hawley, Howard University, Wington, .. C.-C. Algrenon B, Ith M. D., Director. Let's Take A Health Invent At least once a year every business man has an inventory period, at which time he takes one of his goods to determine what he has been conducting when at a profit or at a loss. I have always observed that the good business man is a pretty fine guy to follow in many things, for it is always systematic and meticulous. Men in business today are catching the new idea of taking not only a commercial, but her inventory as well. Furthermore they are passing this idea on among their employees, for they have learned that it is good business to have good health, and to better the health of all concern the better the business. In a way each of us is a business man, woman or child, concerned in the business of keeping well, happy and maintaining our earning capacity at 10 per cent. So then, let each of us begin today and take a health inventory. Ask yourself the following questions, each of which counts 10 per cent. Grade yourself as fully and let me hear from you just what your mark is: QUESTIONS (1) Do you have a good app tite, and relish your food every meal. If you relish only lunch dinner, mark yourself 7. and only one meal, mark yourself (Follow this idea throughout). (2) Do you get eight hours' freshening sleep each day? (3) Are you unclearly gaining losing flesh? (4) Have you an unuse of fatigue after muscular edema and does it persist for some time? (5) How free are you from the quent attacks of headaches, ache, sore throat, indigestion, dizziness, fatigue, brittle bones, billiousness. Do you go about your work with a feeling of enjoyment or your job getting the best of your physically and mentally? (7) Are your lungs, heart or kindneys behaving properly? (8) Have you within the last five years been successfully reinforced against smallpox? (9) Have you an optimistic sense of personal well-being? (10) Do you give up a certain portion of each day for seven healthful form of recreation or play? I wonder how many can see 100 per cent. that goes to make acceptable American citizens. Not that the bone in the community complained are not of a splendid character above the average; not that the are not a most decent class of people, who maintain and support churches, and conduct the work in such manner that the truth has been any more disorderly concluding them, but simply because they are colored, this mean a person is aimed at them. The outside world will be fed a think that this settlement of colored people is anything else that the orderly, law-abiding community that it is, that people a living by working, colored people should not change to the white they now occupy because they have to pass by colored people. It is also true that nearly all the colored people who live in the "Negro settlement," so objectable to these white teachers of Negro children own their homes, and keep them in a pair and decent condition. With such prejudice in their hearts, such prejudice that such people were disdain to teach Negro children Ah! 'tis the jingle of the guinea eases the hurt that honor feels. Not All Come Back From Elizabeth City (N. C.) We are told that Norges who flocked North last summer and backpacking back this winter have partly true. The restless adventurous black is even on the go, and if he left the South and stayed away forever, every body South should be grateful his departure. But while the less, the adventurous and the less come and go, there are sands and tens of thousands of the more dependable blacks who North and stay. Your census of the Negro population of Northern and Western States is steadily increasing while the Negro population of many South States steadily declines. What correspondents like Robert K. Smith and editors like Richard E. Johnson try to create the impression that most of the Negroes who go North are coming back, they are only kidding themselves, and kidding themselves after them. Last numbers of the best blacks who North will stay. And they never be the same colored folks as more. That's the tragedy of great migratory movement who isn't over with yet by many summers to come. The Negroes more money for his labor in the North, but the pinks are not any more good for his soul than a lot of the that are not good for his soul in the South. The State of Georgia, with a ored population greater than a combine population (all class of Deleware, New Hampshire, vada and, Vermont, is the state having more than 1.0000 colored inhabitants.
