READ "STRANGERS IN THE DARK," A SERIAL, ---BEGINS NEXT WEEK 12 PAGES IN TWO PARTS Norfolk Journal and Guide 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers BURGLAR MUST DIE Muzzle Attempt To Expose Cohen Opponents VOL. XXIV No. 9 WASHINGTON Inside Out A Weekly Panorama of Events In The National Capitol By PETER KEEGAN Special Correspondent to the Norfolk Journal and Guide MICHIGAN HAS Hard luck. At first is new Denby and then it was Denby. And for the first time in seventy-five years the state of Michigan has a Democrat representing it in the United States Senate as a result of the Newberry scandle: Reports are reaching the Capitol that many of Denby's friends back home are urging him to get into the Senatorial race this fall against Couzens. They point out that although the Secretary of the Navy, who gets out of the cabinet on March 10, has been held up to all kinds of bitter attacks in the naval oil scandle, there has not been any evidence of dishonesty on his part, and that he stands a chance of getting the Republican nomination from his fellow-townsmen. But the litigation over the oil leases may put different color on the situation. THE VALENTINOS of the movies have nothing on Jeremiah E. O'Connell, who represents Providence, Rhode Island, in the house of Representatives. Besides being the first Democrat who ever represented his District in Congress, O'Connell is famed as one of the handsomest men on Capitol Hill and daily adding to his laurels, as an orator. He was of the few men chosen to lead the Democratic bombardment during the tax debate. ALBERT B. FALL, who leased the Government's oil lands and got $125,000 from two oil millionaires, has gone back to his ranch in New Mexico, broken in body and spirit. The Department of Justice granted permission for Fall to go home, but he is under constant surveillance and has been warned not to try to leave the territorial limits of the United States, under penalty of immediate imprisonment. KUND WEFALD, the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Congressman, tried to describe his political belief to his colleagues the other day. "I guess I am not an old-fashioned Whig Republic," he said, "and if I am not an old-fashioned Whig Republican, I am a William Jennings Bryant Democrat—you can take your choice." THE WASHINGTON "Rumor factory" is not running so fast as formerly. It used to be possible to pick up any amount of scandle involving high officials most any time. Two recent events, though, have slowed down the wheels. The first was Frank A. Vanderbilt's public confession that he was "gossiping" when he cast insinuations on the late President Harding, and the next was the calling of the hand of Col. Tom Miller, the Alien Property Custodian, when he made serious charges involving Treasury Department officials in an alleged deliberate attempt to delude Congress as to the state of the nation's pocketbook. The Miller eposide will drag along throughout the soldiers' bonus fight, but irresponsible gossiping has been dealt a deadly blow. SENATORS AND other tireless investigators are finding that there is plenty of real scandle about without wasting time to manufacture it. Congress is investigation-mad and it has be come to be the easiest legislative act in the world for some one to put through a resolution authorizing a probe of something or other. A definite move is under way to bring American diplomatic methods into the light of day and demands are being made for Secretary Hughes to let the Senate see what is going on behind the scenes in the State Department and in the Embassies of Europe and Asia. The Secretary of State can always sidestep, however, on the ground that such disclosures would not be "in the public interest". AMONG THE NEW Senators who are gaining fame rapidly is C. C. Dill, of Washington, who attacked the proposed flight of the airship "Shenandoah" to the North Pole before the trip was called off by President Coolidge. Dill was defeated for re-election to the House in 1918, mainly because he was not wholeheartedly in favor of war with Germany, but he can back strong in 1922. He was a newspaper reporter in Cleveland, O. and taught school in Iowa before he took up the practice of law in Spokane. I believe in newspaper advertising. I spend about a million dollars a year for newspaper space to tell the world about the goods I have to sell. Nearly everybody reads the papers and they are the most effective mediums to reach the buying public quickly and often. OLD MAN FIRST VICTIM OF NEW AND DRASTIC LAW Alexander Gibson, 64 Years Old, Convicted of Burglary After Dark, Will Be Hanged For His Crime. JURY RETURNS QUICK VERDICT Lexington, Ky., Feb. 27—(P. N. S.)--The statute enacted by the general assembly in 1922, under which imposition of the death penalty for conviction of a charge of burglary after dark, is sanctioned, was invoked for the first time last Wednesday in the case of Alexander Gibson, aged 64 years. The jury deliberated an hour. Gibson was attempting to burglarize the home of Lucien Thompson, near here, when he was discovered by Thompson. He attacked Mr. Thompson, cutting him severely. WINS PENNIES FROM BOYS; IS FINED $100 Alleged To Have Made Practice Of Gambling The Kiddies Candy Money. Washington, D. C., Feb. 28—(P. N. S.)—James T. Martin, janitor of the Stag Hotel, was convicted of gaming last Thursday in the U. S. Branch of the police court and sentenced to a fine of $190 or 90 days in jail. It was testified Martin made a practice of engaging newsboys and telegraph boys in crap games and winning their pennies. Six boys between the ages of 11 and 17 years old were produced as witnesses. Their thorough knowledge of the game and the frankness of their testimony was as amusing as it was pathetic. Martin denied the charges until the end. N. C. Mutual Offices In New Quarters The Norfolk District Office of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has been moved from the Metropolitan Bank Building to the Attucks Theatre Building, 1008 Church street. The need for more spacious quarters brought on by the steadily increasing volume of business made the change necessary, stated Mr. Mr. Wrigley says: I believe in ne ing. I spend about a year for newspap world about the go Nearly everyb pers and they are mediums to reach Mitchell, District Manager. An inviting suite of rooms now hold the offices and it is the aim of the agency force to push business until even these quarters become inadequate. Mr. Mitchell feels positively sure that in view of present indications this will be accomplished in no far distant time. Every line of North Carolina Mutual business is showing decided stimulus, he said, and this district now boasts the greatest volume of business the company has ever enjoyed in Norfolk. POLICE CAN'T SEARCH BEFORE THE ARREST Police Justice Spindle Makes Ruling On Plea Of Attorney Walter Davis. Ovelzealous policemen have been curbed in the practice of searching persons whom they believe to be offenders and then arresting them after discovering incriminating evidence in a ruling made by Police Justice Spindle in his court this week. Under this ruling, "Policemen have no right to search an individual before arresting him." This decision was handed down in the case of George Davis, colored, who had been arrested under the Mapp act after an alleged search of his person by Police Sergeant R. M Arnold and Patrolmen Hutchinson on Bray. Evidence was to the effect that the police officers had accosted Davis in inquiring how much liquor he had in his possession, and that Davis had replied that he had only a little. The officers, it was alleged, then searched him and found a small quantity of "corn." Attorney Walter Davis, colored, made a strong presentation of the rights of an individual to immunity from search of the person by a policeman before arrest, offering several legal citations in support of his contention. The court agreed with the attorney's viewpoint. The ruling will have a far-reaching effect in conserving the rights of individuals and forcing policemen to respect these rights. Heretofore it has been no uncommon thing for a policeman to search persons on the street and arrest them after finding incriminating evidence. FOUND DEAD IN WOODS Laurens, S. C., Feb.—(A. N. P.) —Police are holding Will Thompson in connection with the death of June Johnson, a pal, who was found dead in a clump of woods a short distance from his home this week. There was a gunshot wound in the back of Johnson's head. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924 TRAVELERS' AID WITNESSED YEAR OFMUCH ACTIVITY More Than 10,000 Colored People Assisted In Locating Friends. Temporary Shelter And Safeguarding In Travel The colored branch of the Travelers' Aid Society of this city in 1923 witnessed a year of greatly increased activity which resulted in the rendering of inestimable service to this community, to the race and to humanity. So quietly does the Travelers' Aid go about the city and amongst its various railroad and steamboat terminals conducting its work of welfare that very few people are actually acquainted with the wonderful service of this organization, kept alive and functioning in Norfolk by a small band of women who are consecrating their energy and time for the well being of others. Speaking of the Travelers' Aid and the various uses to which its service has been availed in the past year a member of the executive committee made the following comment: WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION "How many permanent residents in Norfolk, smugly secure in the enjoyment of this world's goods, and mayhap, with a philanthropic turn of mind, realize the accomplishments of the Travelers' Aid Auxiliary the past year. A critical year in the history and development of our race—the exodus to (Continued on Pearl Rose) (Continued on Page Five ACCUSED WHITE MAN OF STEALING $20.00 Nina Battle Alleges Man Entered Her Home And Demanded Money. Paul Hayes, a young white man, claiming North Carolina as his native state, was arranged in Police Court Monday morning on a warrant sworn to by Nina Battle, colored, 713 Cove Street, in which he was charged with larceny of $20.00 and impersonating a police officer. He was dismissed. Hayes was defended by attorney J. Louis Broudy, Attorney J. Eugene Diggs conducted the prosecution. The woman alleged that Haye entered her home without solicitation while she was standing in the doorway and asked o see her. When she inquired what he wanted, he demanded $20.00, she said, or consent to be arrested. She alleged he threatened to arrest her for admitting him into her home. Nina said she gave the man the $20.00 and as he left the house ran to the door and yelled for the police. Hayes was arrested after going a few blocks. The officer testified that he saw the man running from his direction of Nina's home. Hayes allied that the woman invited him into the house and later robbed him of $20.00. Attorneys Broudy and Diggs made vigorous arguments before the court, Diggs denouncing the alleged conduct of the defendant while lawyer Broudy extolled his alleged virtues.

HATTIE PROCTOR Sugar Sold For 14 Cts Here In '35 The house wife who has to "plank" down ten cents a pound for sugar at the corner grocery store and 80 cents to a dollar for her afternoon tea, may console herself with the knowledge that she is no worse off than her great grandmother was in this respect, who lived lqng before the housewives league or the sugar and butter boycott was thought of. In 1835 sugar was selling in Norfolk for from ten to twelve and one half cents a pound and it was the course brown kind at that; not the white refined sugar that the housekeeper now makes such a fuss about paying ten cents for. Mr. W. H. Fonville, 1414 Anne street, who bestides successfully conducting a furniture repair and manufacturing shop, makes a hobby of collecting curious and antiques, exhibited to the Journal and Guide this week genuine recepits dated as early as 1826. They bore names of Norfolk white families who very probably have long been (Continued on Page Five) MRS. HATTIE PROCTOR First Week's Pay Can't Be Held Columbus, O—(P. N. S.)—According to an opinion rendered Thursday by Attorney General Crabbe, Ohio manufacturing plants may not retain the first week's pay from its employees, which is held until some future date as a guaranty of future and continued services. On the contrary, the attorney general said, an employer is required to pay all persons, "whether engaged in manual or clerical labor, their wages due them at least twice in each calendar month, under the provisions of Section 1246- of the general code." The opinion was rendered to H. R. Witter, director of industrial relations, and grew out of contracts, entered into by certain manufacturing concerns in which it is sought to retain the first week's wages of girl employees and minors for a period of twelve weeks. The opinion further pointed out that withholding of wages of a minor in violation of law, is punishable by a fine of not more than $200 or imprisonment in the county jail not more than six months or both POINTS OUT NEED OF MORE TRAINED RACE MECHANICS Prof. T. G. Rydingsvard, Director Of Department Of Vocational Training Points Out Lack of Journeymen. SEES NEED FOR BETTER EDUCATIONAL BASIS Addressing the Hampton Institute Builders' Conference recently Prof. T. G. Rydingsward, Director of the Department of Vocational Training for the city of Norfolk said that the various organizations of Norfolk—contractors' and builders' association, master associations, such as plumbing and steamheating, bricklaying, electricians, and plasterers—are back of the effort to raise the standard of the various building courses. He described in detail what had been done to help the plumbing contractors, those engaged in the carpenter's trade, the bricklayers, the plasterers, and other groups of mechanics. "We are just building a half-million dollar building," he said, "in which we are hoping to conduct classes in carpentry and interior mill work necessary for house building in bricklaying, plastering, plumbing and electrical wiring. What we need to do is to train boys who have had a fairly good foundation. We plan to give the boy a thorough unit course of two to three years. The evening school work is of far more importance to any community than the day work. If we can get the mechanic after his day's work into the classroom, we can aid him during the daytime, provided we have the proper instructors and the man is qualified to take up the work for which he is asking. "There is not a single colored plumbing contractor in Norfolk, a city with 55,000 colored people. We have good journeymen and one contractor doing a small business. There is not, however a single large establishment. The one thing that will rectify this condition is proper education. Colored men have failed on the theoretical work but not on the mechanical work. "Norfolk has never raised the question of not furnishing instruction asked for, provided we had as many as twelve members who wanted some particular instruction. If we have a request from as many as twelve people for a course that will aid them in becoming contractors or workers, the School Board is ready to establish the course." Woman Stabbed At Church Affair Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 28—(P. N. S.)—Mrs. Rebecca Taylor suffered a knife wound in the right arm early last Tuesday night, when she was attacked, she said by Mrs. Malissa Mills, at a church festival.

Mrs. Mills, it is alleged; pulled out a knife and cut Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Mills, it is said, beat a hasty retreat from the church and the police have not been able to find her. Senator Jones, Republican, Moves To Make Public Names of Opposition; Robinson, Democrat, Objects. PROBABLE EFFECT ON POLITICAL FORTUNES Washington, D. C., Feb. 28--(P. N. S.)—When Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, asked for unanimous consent that the injunction of secrecy be removed from the vote taken on the nomination of Walter L. Cohen, to be Comptroller of Customs, at New Orleans, Senator Robinson, the Arkansas Democrat, made objection which prevented the enable from knowing the names of the Senators who rejected President Coolidge's nomination of the distinguished colored nominee. COURT UNRAVELS FAMILY FUND TANGLE Jersey City, N. J.—A very long hearing was held last Thursday before Vice-Chancellor James E. Fielders and after the evidence given, and informal expression that Mrs. Mary Cannon Spraggins, the wife who very abruptly withdrew her case for divorce several weeks ago, was not entitled to the $10000 which had been placed in the care of Dr. George E. Cannon her brother, which was to be used for the purchase of a home for the Spraggins', and this amount was the balance of an amount received for the sale of property owned by Spraggins, but in the name of Dr. Cannon. When Spraggins requested this balance, Dr. Cannon, felt that he was not the one to decide to whom it rightfully belonged, his sister or his brother-in-law, and to play safe (Continued on Page Fire) Prominent Y.

The teacher was trying to make Elsie understand subtraction and she said: "You have ten fingers; not supposing there were three clasps, what would you have them?" "No music lessons," said Elsie promptly. National Alliance Of Postal Employees The National Alliance of Postal Employees met with Mrs. George Davis, 400 E. Bute street, Friday. The meeting was for the purpose of consolidating the different group of the colored postal employees of Norfolk. It may be news to the public to hear that there has been for several years an organization in Norfolk, known as the "Norfolk Virginia Branch of the National Alliance of Postal employees." The organization until recently only admitted railway postal clerks to its membership. At the Fort Worth, Texas Convention, it was, unanimously decided to accept in its membership any colored civil service employee of the Post. Office department. When the other groups of employees were informed of this fact, Mr. M. E. Diggs and Mr. George W. Davis both employees at the Norfolk post office got busy and organized a temporary branch among the groups. The old branch of which, Mr. E. H. Moseley, was president and Mr. R. J. Salisbury, secretary and Treasurer, saw good reasons why there should be one solid branch here composed of all the groups of postal employees instead of separate branches. After making their reasons known to the new group, it was unanimously decided by all to consolidate. At the meeting February 22nd they consolidated and elected the following officers for the year: Messrs. W. Davis, president; E. H. Moseley, vice president; M. E. Diggs, secretary-treasurer; R. J. Salisbury, assistant secretary-treasurer, and Joseph Hoskins, reporter. After the election of officers and other business was finished, we were usuried into the dining room where a sumptuous rest awaited us. We must do our part to Mr. and Mrs. Davis for the elaborate entertainment given by their home for this occasion. "Zion," The Evils Of Mormonism The Adult Bible Class No. 3 of the First Baptist Church Sunday school will present a drama in prologue in in four acts, entitled "Zion," presenting the evils of moronism at the Booker T. Washington high school auditrium Wednesday night, March 5, 8 o'clock. This is a most interesting play and points out the sins and evils of the religious creed, moronism that once held the far west in its trip. In the story is told how a Mormon Elder goes to the house of me James Day, meets Mrs. Day and pleads with her to forsake her husband and ten-year-old daughter and follow him to the six entreaties, her forsaken fwhrddr N.Zien." In the meantime "abze Bligh, a friend to Day, and whose mother years ago had followed a Mormon Elder, has sworn internal vengeance upon them. Believing that Jethpa Marwood is a Mormon, he has secretly watched him, and being confirmed in his suspicions comes and informs Day. While Mrs. Day is making preparations to yield to the entreaties of the Elder her husband comes in and immediately sends for her. Noticing that she trembles as well as her evasive answers to his questions he senses that all is not well; but having implicit confidence in his wife and upon her assurance that all is well he is for the time being satisfied. Mrs. Day promises her husband that on the morrow she would tell him all, but when night comes on the secretly flees with the Elder. The story from here leads into all the evils of Morphonism which even ensures Day's daughter. Any person who would know the evils of this religious creed should see "Zion." The Bible Class will be assisted in the presentation by Misses Julia Dodson, Thelma Anderson, Louise Cowling and Naomi Johnson. The New Spring: Shades in HOSIERY and various other colors.

It is well known that pure quartz glass possesses the property of transmitting light abundantly, the induced chemical tensions of light by means of which photographic effects are produced, and it has often been attempted to make photographic lenses of quartz alone. Unfortunately, quartz also possesses the property of double refraction, so that, unless the opening of the lenses is very narrow, good images are not produced. A French optician, E. Morlin, is reported to have succeeded in making small photographic lenses of quartz glass in which some of the difficulties have been avoided and the lenses show great rapidity of action.

Norfolk, Va. SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1986 Tuskegee Principal Speaks To Five Hundred Boys at Boy's Day Observance. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 11 "Character Building" was emphasized by Dr. Robert R. Motson Principal of the Tuskegee Institute, in speaking to the five hundred or more boys, representing the fifty-eight communities of Madison County who attended the Annual Observance of "Boys' Day" held at the Institute, Friday, February 22. Dr. Motson declared that success in any honorable endeavor was determined by character and not color and pointed out truthfulness, honesty, thrift and industry as some of the attributes of a good character. "How to Play," was discussed by Cleve L. Abbott, Athletic Director at the Institute, Mr. Abbott in an interesting manner described various games and exercises which are adapted to use in rural schools and urged the boys to participate in all games played. Many of the exercises were demonstrated. How To Raise A Pig One of the most interesting features of the Boys' Day program was the symposium discussion of "How to Raise a Pig." Each community has a Pig Club. The merits of the system were brought out in the discussion which followed each report. These reports and questioned fired at the representatives also evidenced a knowledge of the various breeds of pigs and methods of pig raising that was commendable. "Boys' Day" is one of the many activities conducted by the Extension Department of the Tuskegee Institute, under the direction of Clinton J. Calloway who presided over the meeting Friday. Each year finds the event gaining popularity as evidenced by the large attendance. YOU CAN WIN! YOU CAN WIN. If you wish to know how many won their most cherished desires, write to me.

AN ANSWER TO MODERNIST PREACHERS By Columbus Maxwell THE CHARACTER OF THE WORK OF JESUS AS IT IS SET FORTH IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURE All things were made by Him (Jesus) and without Him (Jesus) was not a ything made that was made. Jno. 1: 3. He (Jesus) was in the world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him (Jesus) not. Jno. 1: 10. And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beg- ning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. Eph. 3: 9. For by Him (Jesus) were all things, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions, principalities, or powers. ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM (Jesus) AND FOR HIM (Jesus). Col. 1: 16. And thou, Lord (Jesus.) in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of tine hands. Heb. 1: 10. And unto the angel of the church of Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD. (Jesus Christ The Speaker.) Rev. 3: 11. The MODERNISTS reject the doctrine of the "Virgin Birth" and the whole Bible on on the grounds that, 1. Because the BIBLE is inaccurate, HISTORICALLY and 2. SCIENTIFICALLY, 2. BECAUSE as they claim, the BIBLE contains "OBVIOUS CONTRADICTIONS" 3. BECAUSE, as they claim, the Bible REPRESENTS GOD as DOING or APPROVING some thing which SEEM to BE MORally WRONG; and 4. BECAUSE, They (the Modernists) are so SCIENTIFICALLY and HISTORICALLY versed in modern civilization and culture that they are too advanced to believe in the Jewish Mythology (?) of the Old Testament, nor the Christian Mythology (?) of the New Testament, nor in the Christian's Mth of Myths (??), the Virgin Birth of Christ (??). For the present, I am not concerned with their first three reasons: but their fourth reason which has to do with their vast historical and scientific knowledge and their profite culture, interests me and invite my attention. Biology is one of the sciences in which they the modernist, boast; and in it they profite to be very bound; under the microscope they watch the development of the palaeozoic slime and see it assume protoplastic propositions: then thru their microscopic lenses they follow the development of the protoplastic and see it pass through its various stages of growth; then suddenly, under the immediate eyes of the modernist, biologic scientist, or under his immediate observations, the PROTOPLASM throws off its slush and springs into life! I now turn to this well versed modernist biologic scientist (??) and ask him WHAT IS LIFE? AND WHENCE IS LIFE? And if he is not a common liar and a science FAKER, he answers "I DO NOT KNOW!" I repeat, the scientist knows nothing about LIFE; nor was it ever intended that he should know, SCIENCE has not been able to produce life in any form of organism from its supposed maggots of the palaeozoic slime to MAN. In every battle which science has staged for the perpetuation of human life, it has lost! Of the countless trillions of lying organism which have appeared on earth and just as mysteriously disappeared, science holds no living species of them in any of its museums to show that science is able to govern life. Now, this would be scientist finds himself unable to master the mysteries and origin of human or animal or vegetable life whose spectres are constantly before his eyes sets himself up as a proper authority, and under the guise of advance knowledge and culture to deny the possibilities and probabilities of LIFE on another plane by a process of laws diverse, from these he professes to know: and with which, his bonust of great learning and culture to the contrary, not withstandibility, by his own confession he is ignorant: THIS IS THE KIND OF SCIENTISTS WHO SET THEMSELVES TO THE TASK OF DENYING THROUGH THEIR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES. THE EMACULATE CONCEPTION AND THE VIRGIN BIRTH. AH! POOR BLEEDING SCIENCE! HOW MANY SONS OF THE DEVIL DECK THEMSELVES IN THY TOGA! (Continued Next Week) SOUTH AFRICA MAY GIVE VOTE TO WOMEN Capetown, South Africa, Feb.—(A. N. P.) Enfranchisement of white women came nearer to realization here with the adoption by the house of assembly of a bill giving to women the right of suffrage. It had been rejected twice before. Neither black men or women are given the right of suffrage in South Africa. --- Religious Photo Drama, Attucks Next Sunday Was it a wrongful act on the part of God when He destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Was God immoral in so doing? The preachers in the church who now call themselves "MODERNISTS" cite this judgment of God against these cities as being among the immoral things which God has done and because of this and other immoral acts of God, they believe no longer in God and reject the Bible as the inspired word of God. Gen. Columbus Maxwell, therefore in answer to the Modernists and Higher Critics, will present at Attucks Theatre at 3 P. M., and 8 P. M., the "Queen of Sin," the powerful and awful Photo-drama which depicts the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The public is invited to be present. The General will show the wisdom, mercy and justice of God in visiting these people as He did. He will say all that he can say about the matter to a mixed audience. And at the Bailey Annex, Sunday night March 9, will bear the facts without mercy in the use of words or matter why God destroyed the people of Sodom and Gomorrah to an audience of MEN ONLY. There will be no admission fee at the Attucks on Sunday night March 2. The friends of the General will give a silver offering to help him carry forward his work of Biblical Education. GARRETTE TEMPLE The Sunday school was well attended and a number of new scholars enrolled. Several visitors were present; at 11:30, the pastor, Rev. R. K. D. Garrett, preached from the 7th chapter of Judges, 20th verse, "The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon," using as his theme "Partnership with God." At night the pastor preached another able sermon to the Saint James Lodge of the Sons and Daughters of North Carolina, and the Tree of Life Lodge, who turned out in the interest of Mrs. Francis Shepherd. The pastor preached from 2nd Cor, 5th chapter 17th verse. "If any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things are passed away, Behold all things become new. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E. The Sunday school was well attended, Lesson interestingly taught At 11:40 o'clock, A. M., the pastor, Rev. W. W. Roberts seemed to have been at his best. A great and wonderful sermon was preached to the delight of all his hearers. Sub. "All must face God in the day of Judgment." At 3 P. M. The Grand United Order of the Nehemiahhs with their various councils filled every available space in both the main auditorium and the annex. A beautiful program was rendered, after which the pastor Dr. Roberts preached an inspiring sermon, portraying the beautiful life of the Prophet Nehemiah. At night, Rev. R. J. Butt of Suffolk, filled the pulpit and preached a helpful sermon, which was highly appreciated. This Sunday the pastor will preach at both services. Holy communion will be administered in the morning. Monday night March 3rd, Rev. Dr. N. B. Brown, of Bethlehem Baptist Church, his chair and congregation will worship here. Thursday night, March 6th, Rev. Mrs. Bray of the Pentacostal Holiness Church, her chair and congregation will worship here. Friday night, March 7th, Rev. McGowan of John Wesley M. E. Church, his chair and congregation will conduct the services. The second Sunday will be Men's Day. The men will have charge of all the services. ST JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH The services last Sunday were helpful and inspiring. At 11 A.M., the pastor delivered a powerful sermon on "The Old Paths" Jer. 6: 16 and at 7:30 the pulpit was very acceptably filled by Rev. J. N. Fuller, whose subject was "The Acid Test of Our Lives." Job. 25: 10. Sunday school and Allen League services, were us usual wide-a-wake. On next Sunday, the pastor will preach at 11 A. M. subject:: "Safety in the Higher Life." 7:30 P. M. Holy Communion. This will be Dollar Money Day and all members are METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION The Sunday school was very interesting to all present. The Busy Bee class was the banner class. At 11:30, the pastor, Dr. Smith, gave one of his excellent sermons from 1 Cor. 2-6. The speaker emphasized the thought of religion which simply means to treat our fellowman right. A number of strangers were in the V. C. E. League, among whom were Mrs. Robinson, of Hillsboro N. C. At 7:30, the pastor delivered an instructive sermon from Gen. 6.7. The speaker laid stress on each family striving to save its own and establishing the family altar in each home. EASTERN STAR CHURCH OF Rev. J. Haile, the pastor of this church occupied his pulpit last Sunday for the first time since his return from several week's vacation in the South. He preached an excellent sermon from Amos 6:1, "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion." Subj. "Spiritual Indifference, and its Dangers." In the course of his remarks upon this subject, Rev. Haile said church people are so often forgetful of their responsibility, but they would nevertheless, have to render account to God. He exhorted his hearers to refrain from being at ease spiritually and urged greater activity. The sermon was much enjoyed. GRACE P. E. CHURCH At the morning service next Sunday, the Venerable Arch Deacon Russell will preach and administer the Holy Communion. Members of the Parish are expected to turn out in large numbers. Visitors are welcome. FIRST BAPTIST B. Y. P. U. An excellent program was rendered last Sunday by the Juniors under the direction of Miss Newch Newby. Short talks were made by Rev. Jacobs, Rev. Fuller and Mr. G. L. Taylor. Next Sunday the program will be in charge of the Seniors. The B. Y. P. U. meets promptly at 5 p. m. BOOK REVIEW By PBRCIVAL L PRATTIS for Associated Negro Press "VEILED ARISTOCRATS" Some months ago while the Chicago local of our great Negro intelligentsia stood with I love red head, stunned by Mr. Stribling's devastating, because so subtle, propaganda against colored folk who thumb the pages of the white man's book of knowledge, the great burden of sadness which weighted these people (who had put much strength into their fight against denial) was somewhat lightened by the announcement that into their Macedonia there had come a rich, white society girl from the near by home of Victor Berger, and other socialists, Milwaukee, to live among colored artists, thinkers, wearers of the Phi Beta Kappa, hoity-toity, et cetera, in order that so the papers said, a true, if glorious, story about the better and more earnest Negroes might be written. Thus Chicago first heard of Miss Gertrude Sanborn, author of "Velled Aristocrates." Puzzled over the mess Mr. Stribling had nonchalantly made of Peter Siner, an educated Negro, the better class Negroes of Chicago met Miss Sanborn somewhat in the manner of coming upon a "white hope" for the dark race. Stribling had written as he did because he did not know this "higher class Negro," it was admitted. Here was another white person who would know (she was going to live among us.) and who would answer in kind the sorry libel of the Tennessee author. Well Written The Associated Publishers of Washington have made available the ordered observations of Miss Sanborn while a studious resident of Chicago's most magnified "Block Belt." The delicate task of the reviewer is to determine how good, creditable or worthwhile a story may be, and to do that without much thanks, for, as Dean Pickens says, the reviewers opinion is just his opinion, and that's all. Be that as it may, one is confronted with the question as to whether Miss Sanborn's book is good-meaning: Is it well written and does it serve its purpose? If, over and above the more mechanics of writing, you care for beauty of phrase and that accuracy of description which gives rise to conscious satisfaction, making you both see and feel the painting in words, you will acclaim Miss Samborn as a prose artist of definite desert. You will grant "Veiled Aristocrats" is well written. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE thor to show a certain sympathy in his or her work, you will find gracious evidence of it in Miss Sanborn's accomplishment. She is on the side of the people she writes about, and there is no question of "maybe." I am afraid that in tion of character she than a sketch artist the characters in th to be any too natura their environment a been faulty made a Lacking In Effect If, finally, you realize that an author can write with both beauty and sympathy and still produce a work lacking in effect, you are in a position to approach "Voiled Aristocrats," give thanks for the much good there is in it, hope that so good a friend as the author will remain friendly, and pray that she will be more effective next time. Miss Sanborn has told the story of an educated mulatto and the daughter of a multi-millionaire white engineer, who loved eachother, in Chicago, and how euremian stances have occurred that the rich white (?) girl had a trace of Negro blood, such a situation involving the great American secret. Poo, there is a converted or awakened young white man whose philosophy and actions served as lubricant for the main vehicle. But although the author writes of Negroes and of an environment of which I am a part, I find many things in the novel hard to believe.

QUINTS Booker Washington high school was swamped in its initial double bill at the former Phyllis Wheatley Thursday night, February 21. This was the first basket ball team consisting of boys, the school ever turned out, and the attempt was by no means a failure. Though Union Street was on the big end of the score, Hi School pulled off a wonderful performance and did credit to Norfolk. The boys were full of fight from start to finish and made the Hampton quintet earn every point gained. The first half of the game found both teams feeling out their opponents and only a few goals were made. There were only a few goals made by Hi School during the entire game, but this did not detract from the interest of the game, but entwyofofeaoshrdentfw game. When the referee's whistle sounded ending the first half, the score was Union Street10 Hi School 2. It was the second and last period that the visitors trounced the locals. This half was featured by the constant shooting of Robinson and the floor work of Borden. Robinson was the real mense and provided plenty thrills, in the meantime giving Booker Washington's guard an arm full of work to do, trying to keep him from registering points, but it was of no avail. He shot at will, with ease and dexterity of the veteran. Thomas for the locals proved to be a treat. His floor work was good as could be expected, but Thomas could not remain in the game. He was disqualified for committing four personal fouls. In spite of that fact he played a game worth while. Minson was about the only veteran in the game and he used his experience to advantage. Minson formerly played with Union Street, but this did not soften his heart, he played his former friends as if they were rivals of some time. Morris and Boyd also attracted attention and bore constant watching. NOTICE In order to relieve Dr. Wilbur A. Drake of the audacious duties and responsibilities of the active management of the Tidewater Hospital and to allow him an opportunity to rest and regain his health a number of local physicians have assumed the duties and responsibilities of the hospital. They have taken entire responsibilities, financial and professional and will make a public statement in the very near future as to the plans and methods of the future activities of the institution. Dr. Drake will remain on the sur- faces and in an advisory capacity. NOTICE Dr. Wilbur A. Drake wishes to announce that the Tidewater Hospital is now being operated by a committee of legal physicians and that while he is still serving on the operating staff of the hospital, he has retired from the active management of the hospital, and resumed his general office, and call surgery with offices at the hospital and at 628 Church street.

Morehouse Tramples Virginia Union 39-24 Richmond Va.—Morehouse defeated Virginia Union University by a score of 39-24. The ball was in play for at least four minutes before a single basket was made. After the first few minutes of action the Morehouse College Aggregation warmed up to form and began their shooting rally. Allen and Jackson featured the shooting for the Virginia five, but they were completely outclasses by Gayles and Traylor who shot the greatest number of baskets for the Morehouse quintet.

Sport Comment (Continued from Page Four.) The boys did not put up a bad game for the first. The score does not indicate that the game was poorly played. Every point made by the visitors was the result of hard plaining. It was just a case of too much Robinson. Coach Wilson is due a great deal of credit. It is obvious that he is responsible for Hi School's rise in the realm of athletics. Give him more rope and Booker Washington will be a leading factor in athletics in Virginia. Virginia Seminary Downs Union Seminary evened scores with Union last flight in a fast and furious game. The home court keys showed a great reversal of form fro mthat of two weeks ago at Richmond. The game was in doubt from the start—both teams passing swiftly and guarding closely. For the winners, Wedbee and Brown were the big guns, although all the artillery was heavy. Jackson son was the main stay of the Ma-room bunch, sneaking through the Blue defense at intervals. THE LINEUP THE LINEUP Penn F. Gregory Wheedee F. Allen Brown C. Jackson Holland G. B.

NORFOLR JOURNAL AND GUIDE HOWARDA LPHA PHI APLPA BEATEN BY ATHENIANS 40-22 HOWARDA LPHA PHI APLPA BEATEN BY ATHENIANS 40-22 By Woodley E. Lawrence Baltimore, Md., Feb. 22—Before a holiday crowd of basketball "fans" numbering 900 the fast Alpha Phi Alpha quintet of Howard University was defeated here today 40-22, by the Athenians, Baltimore's favorites. "In a game replete with fast lightning passing, skilled floor work, and superior guarding which was exhibited by the local boys, were patent factors that enabled them to emerge on the long end with a 20 point advantage when the final whistle was blown. The Athenians took the lead at the beginning of the game by two double deckers by Keller, the red headed six foot center, which was immediately duplicated by Baskerville, the fast forward. The Athenians maintained this lead throughout the game, and at no time was this lead pressed. The first half ended with the Athenians 20, Alpha 7. During the second half the collegians tried to stage a "come back," but the local boys, not trying to score, held possession of the ball for five minutes, merely passing it to each other. At this time the many "fans" were wildly thrilled when Dash of Alpha, to quell the tumult fouled himself to Baskerville, thereby breaking up this machine like passing. Baskerville's wonderful shooting was the feature of the game, while "Doc" Harris and Butler were at home at the guard positions, holding Wheatland the "Hub man" for Alpha powerless throughout the game. Eddie Larry, the "Right Cager," for the school boys was unable to run wild as his previous record in Baltimore reads. THE LINTUP Alpha—22 Athenians—10 Dash F. Baskervill Larry F. Rhodes Wheatland G.

NATIONAL FAIRS ASSOCIATION MEETS The second annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Fairs was held in Washington, D. C. February 22-23, at the New Liberty Hotel. Dr. J. H. Love of Raleigh, N. C. is president and R. H. Cross of Norfolk, Vn. is Secretary and Treasurer. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Roscoe C. Simmons of Chicago, Il., and Dr. Emmett J. Seckt of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Both addresses were inspiring and those in attendance expressed their appreciation for the many timely topics hit upon by the speakers as affecting the colored fairs. Mr. J. G. Saunders of the Lexington Colored Fair at Lexington, Kentucky, the largest Colored Fair in the world, made a very interesting talk on the educational value of fairs and showed the advantage of advertising properly, as well as largely in order to get the desired results. The presidict, Dr. J. H. Love, in his annual address stressed the need of more nationally advertised merchandise being placed on exhibition at the colored fairs and advocated a Race Pageant on the fair grounds, while the fairs are being held, depicting the progress of the American Negro from the days of his ancestors in Africa to the present time. It is quite probable that a pageant of this kind will be staged at some of the larger fairs during the season of 1924. The secretary, R. H. Cross, in his annual report showed that the National Association carried sixy-two (62) fairs on its list and stated that the co-operative method had proved to be of great financial value along economic lines in the operation of various fairs truet the country. A round table talk on various subjects affecting the organizing and operating of fairs was one of the interesting features of the meeting. The next meeting will be held at Norfolk, Va. Making Good-Will Speeches In N. C Duriam, N. C.-Charles Satchie Morris, Jr., of Norfolk who has won considerable distinction as an orator on subjigs related to the race question, spoke before a large audience here Sunday on "The Measures of the Man". As usual his hearers were thrilled and highly entertained by the young speaker's wit, pathos and eloquence. Young Morris is now engaged in making a series of "Good-Will addresses in North Carolina intended to stimulate harmonious relations between the races. During the past week he addressed six meetings and spoke, by invitation before, the students of Floria McDonald Seminary, a white women's college at Red Spring, N.C. Everywhere that Mr. Morris has spoken he has been given an ovation. Although he has emerged form the stage of "boy orator", the distinction he earned, he is still a young man in his twenties, and great audiences that hear him marvel at such eloquence and oratorical power in one of his years and experiences. Mr. Morris is making a first-hand study of the social and economic condition of the race in the South and devoting his life to improving these conditions through facts and special messages which are delivered to white and 'black alike with the view of strengthening relations between the races. State Federation Has Excellent Rpeort Among some of the interesting items contained in the report of the State Federation of Colored Womens' Clubs, which meet in Lynch arg, Va., June, 1923, are the following: Club membership of more than 1200; Taxes raised, $62.10; Amount raised for Industrial Home School, $64745; Amount raised for other purposes (local work) $3822.62; No. of Poor helped, (local work) 927; No. of sick helped, (local work) 309; No. of Child Welfare Meetings, 75. Institutions such as orphan asylums, hospitals, sanitariums and homes for the aged have been aided. The girls Industrial Home School at Peake receiving the support of all clubs. This is but a small amount of the actual work done by club women in Virginia in the interest of the less fortunate in various communities. Many clubs also do some work, artistic, musical or literary for the development of their members. The Norfolk Federation is anxious to make the convention of this noble body of women which will be held in Norfolk, June 1924, an enjoyable affair for the delegates. To this end they are presenting the Stellar Symphony Orchestra, Monday, March 10, at the First Baptist Church, Bute street. Admission 25 cents. The public is urged to support the concert. Foreign Wars Vets Banquet Captain Holland The regular semi-monthly meeting of Prince A. Johnson Post No 1076, Veterans of Foreign Wars was held at the post room Thursday, February 21st and was largely attended. Capt. Geo. P. Holland, U.S. A. Post Commander of Col Chas. Young Post, Hampton, Va. was present to install the newly elected officers of the Post. Following the meeting and installation of officers, a banquet was held at the Community Center in honor of Capt. Holland. Capt. Holland was the speaker of the evening and made a very impressive talk. Lieut. P. McN. Thompson, U. S. R. and commander of post 1076 also gave a brief talk. The following comrades were installed in office by Capt. Holland; P. McN. Thompson, Commander; George Halsted, S. V. Commander; Chas. Booth, Jr., J. V. Commander; Wm. J. Gray, Officer of the Day; Robt. J. Keeeling, Chplain; Robt. Hagans, Quartermaster, Alex Jones, Adjutant, J. Webl Johnson, Sergt. Major, and E. A. Woodward, D. T. Lynn, and R. F. Jones, Trustees. Sugar Sold Here Eon 14 Cents In '35 Sugar Sold Here Eon 14 Cents In '35 (Continued from Page One) forgotten. Among the collection was a bill tendered one Jonathan Hunter by one John James for groceries bought of Mr. James and dated 1835. Some of the items mentioned and the prices sold for are: 10 pounds brown sugar at 10 cents a pound, $1.00; 1 barrell flour, $8.50. Of course this was long before Franklin placed a bottle on the top of a post and enticed the lightning to play hide and seek inside of it, so there were no electric lightning. Candles must have afforded the popular means of lighting, because on this bill is the item, 20 pounds of candles, $2.00. Evidently those who lived in HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN BY 1 POINT Hampton, Va., Feb. 22—After exhibiting a poor excuse for basketball in the first half and finally allowing the Lincoln "Liens" to gain a 19 point lead, Hampton underwent a complete change in the second half and came out victorious over Lincoln for the second time this season by a 1-point margin. The second half began with the score at 19-2. With an almost miraculous comeback, Hampton staged a rally led by "Shorty" Lambright, forged ahead enough to tie the score before the final whistle, and caused an extra period of five minutes to be played. In this period some of the most desperate fighting ever seen on the Hampton Institute Gymnasium court came into play. For fully five minutes no score was made. Then "Chet" Jones sank a free throw. Then it was that Lincoln began scoring almost at will. It was plainly visible that something was radically wrong with the "Sensiders." Pollit, Woods, and Day scored Lincoln's shots in this half and Gunn sank a free throw. Thus as the halfway mark was reached the score stood 19-2 in Lincoln's favor with but the smallest chance seemingly for Hampton to overcome Lincoln's lead. During the half Coach Williams undoubtedly instilled some irresistible fighting spirit into his proteges, for before the second half was up Hampton had tied the score, causing the extra period to be played. Hargrove started the rally with a field goal. The score then became 19-4. Pollit scored one for Lincoln. Woods duplicated the feat and the score became 23-4. Hargrove sank another and with a wonderful display of fight Hampton worked the ball down the court through Lincoln's five-man defense and Gunn dropped one in—score 23-8. Lincoln rallied and Trigg sank one for Lincoln. Not to be outdone, Hargrove caged another field goal. This was followed by two free throws by Gunn—score 25-12 Hampton was slowly but surely gaining. A substitution was made for Hampton. Lambright was rushed and things immediately took on a different aspect. Here it was that Hampton began cutting down Lincoln's lead in such a manner that the Hampton rooters were almost "running wild" in an effort to cheer the "Seasiders" on to victory. Lambright scored three consecutive field goals with only one and a half minutes to play, running the score to 25-23. Lincoln sank another shot and things were looking pretty hopeless with a 27-23 score in Lincoln's favor. Gunn came through with two spectacular shots to the score, and then the spectators became hilarious as they realized that Hampton was not heaten yet. An extra period of five minutes was played and both teams fought with everything they possessed but the spectacular comeback of the "Seasiders" was too overpowering and Lincoln fell before the now-rejuvenated Hamptonians. Lincoln lost by one point after possessing at one time a 19-point lead. Hargrove and Gunn tied for high-point honors for Hampton with nine points each. Lambright came next with six, but it must be remembered that his six came at a most crucial moment. Jones made one point. He played a good game. McNichols made two points and Burrell one. Simmons was a good defensive player. Hampton played an entirely different game in the second half. Pollit was high-point man for Lincoln with eleven points. Day secured eight points, Woods six, and Byrd two. THE LINEUP Hampton—28 Lincoln—27 McNichols F. Pollit Jones F. Woods (e) Haigrove C. Day Langston (e) G. Trigg Gunn G.

Having purchased his ticket only to Norfolk he found on arrival he lacked three dollars of having enough to complete the trip. Relatives were unable to advance him money, and he had no fraternal affiliations. His savings had been used up during recent illness. Through the Travelers' Aid a private home welcomed them for the night, the stranger's statement was verified, his job assured, and money advanced for his return.

For some time, Counsellor Spraggins, and his wife have been having a great deal of domestic troubles, in fact since he was disbarred about nine years ago. The Vice Chancellor refrained from giving a formal opinion, and agreed to permit former Judge George G. Tennant, counsel for Mrs. Spraggins to file a brief setting forth grounds upon which he believed the Court should pay the money to the wife. One more week has been allowed for filing of such papers, after which this case will be closed. At first the from all indications it appeared that Mrs. Spraggins, would sue for divorce, but her papers indicated that she desired separate maintenance, but she withdrew this case, and only contended for the money in the hands of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Spraggins was represented by former County Judge Richard Doherty. NU-LIFE SYSTEM MADAM C. J. WALKER SYSTEM Mme. M. O.

On ly history and posterity can tell that, But the fact is cortain thet more types of sincerely interested persons, more divergent organiza. tions, and uore honest-to-goodnes: hard’ work was disclosed than has been exhibited by any previous meeting among Negroes. While it was not all “beer and skittles,” and everything was not “peaches” as the vernacular of the street describes complete harmo- ny, yet there was more of the lat- ter commodity than usually pre- 'vails. Actors and artists got on the same platform with preachers, while Garveyites, Socialists sat in the same room, and not one tried to bite any of the “Old timers.” The “Lion and the Lamb” story was beaten a block, and a Chicago block at that. ‘The only disturbances worthy of the name, was the fuss that the preachers made, and they came back every session apparently peaceful and with forgiving dispo- sitions. They weren't “Jack leg” ministers cither; but big boys in the field of religion. There were more Bishops there than could he found in a dozen chess games: and, Oh, Boy—the Professors, Doctors, and other titled personages were so plentiful that being a mere “Mister” made one distinguished. Pencil Pushers “The Chicago Ladies, moreover, didn’t seem to care about the titles. To be a Sanhedrin delegate was enough for them. That of course, made it nice till news began to leak from the secretaries’ office where ane Miss Jones, an editor on the Pittsburg Courier, took an unfair advantage of her position as regis- try clerk and tipped off the ordin- ary newspaper fellows who were masquerading as “Nobles”, “Sir Knights”, ect., enjoying whatever distinction their respective lodges had invested them with ‘Another female of the Species “Soh sister” oftimes styled as special writer, a Miss Carter who hails from Washington where she is the capital correspondent for a number of papers and knows the inside history of all the Race pol- iticians, was on the job, too. She didn't do any “snitching” but how her presence threw the fear into the heart of the “Lincoln” bunch, Many a fellow checked out of the hotel at the close of the session and went home with a clear con- seience that was not at all to his own credit. Say, Folks, the “Pow- of the Press” rests a lot of times with the “Pencil pushing Priscil- Jas.” Vann's Special “Off” Bob Vann, politician, and speak- ev from Pittsburgh, Pa., demon- ‘strated his versality by making a speech on fraternities, and after The had made a tremendous hit that was at variance with that pre- sumably desired of the chair, apoli sized and offered to make another "address that would fit. Bob has personality enough to make an au- dience forget the subject and facts ‘enough stowed away in his mind ito win éither side of an argument. Chicago has a Red Cap club, composed of the station employees ‘of the Oodles of Railway that cen- ‘tre there. They number a half hundred of Race conscious, intel- iligent men with one “Sandy” Trice ‘as their president. Men of their jculling are reputed to have the itching palm; and it would have done your heart good to have seen them violate every tradition of their craft to Keep an auto at the ‘disposal of tired delegates with iwhich a committee of them took vis- litors on sight seeing tours thru ‘the colored business district.

Under the provisions of this plan the President of the United States would be empowered when a national emergency exists to so declare that such is the case and draft into the services of the government "such persons of the unorganized militia that he may deem necessary, provided all such persons drafted into the service shall be between the ages of 21 and 80, or other limits as the President may fix." Section 2 of the plan, invests with the President authority to draft the same manner, the nation's material resources. At first glance the on might pear to be designed as a war measure, solely for the successful prosecution of warfare. But a closer view will revealed that it is designed to foster peace as well as proscribe war. If the Capper plan becomes a law, it will at once ally great wealth on the side of peace, always heretofore considered an ally of militarism. Huge war profits for industries and industrial workers would be eliminated upon proclamation of the President conscripting the industries and workers into the eservice of the country. Capital, international trade and manufacturers of war materials and the implements of warfare, now the dangerous incentives to international strife would find it impossible to gather in millions for their products while the "flower" of the nation made the supreme sacrifice on the field of battle. For the President could proclaim them to be in the services of their country and subject to the control of the Commander-in-Chief of the national army. The Capper plan would become law only thru constitutional a- mendment, because the confiscatory clause of the constitution precludes congress from enacting such a plan into law. The Race Sanhedrin has met and adjourned and the consensus of opinion as expressed in both news reports and editorially is that the conference was a success. It appears that the sessions of the Sanhedrin were predominated with an atmosphere of service and personal ambition was places in the background. Indeed, when representatives of sixty organizations come together with a common ideal and strive to unite upon a program designed to elevate the status of the race citizenship this is cause for encouragement. Dean Miller has rendered his race and country a distinct service in calling this convention and let us hope for its continued success. The Lincoln League met in Chicago, reaffirmed its allegiance to the Republican party and broadcast a strong address to the nation. Right upon the heels of this a Republican Senate rejected the nomination of Walter Cohen for the position of Comptroller of Customs for the port of New Orleans. Cohen is a Lincoln Leaguer. The following day on a point of order Seentor Overman,, of North Carolina and a Democrat, succeeded in striking from the Department of Interior appropriation $500,000 for Howard University Medical College.

RACE BUILDERS CONFERENCE IS BIG SUCCESS Federal And State Officials Address Colored Builders At Second Annual Conference at Hampton Institute Hampton, Va., Feb.-Albert Farwell Bemis of Boston, who recently presided at the opening meeting of the Second Annual Builder's Conference at Hampton Institute, stated that men and women are getting some practical use out of science and art in their daily life and that this change has come in part through the work offered by trade courses and through vocational education. He stated that the Hampton Institute builder's course is bringing to men the advantage of the experience which other people have had in handling the business of building mechanics and of financing and managing business organizations. G. A. McGarvey, Washington, D.C., who is a member of the Industrial Education Service of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, said: "Statistically we are behind a number of years in reaching a level place in the construction industry, where we shall be up to the point of normal condi- by to Hi-Ja Beauty Preparations," Bigeou, nationally famous vaudeograph artist who is universally of the races most dazzlingly beau-see Girl with the Million Dollar Bigeou is termed, made this state-ion of her long, straight, beautiful skin. uses Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing at new length, new strength and hair of thousands of ladies.

Therefore there will be an opportunity for years to come for young people to have work in the construction industry. The wages may seem rather high to the public. After all, if the economic call is such at the present time that there is a scarcity of workers in this field, I can see no reason why a little encouragement cannot be given by contractors to young people to go into this work and have the advantages of a future permanency." B. H. Van Oot, director of industrial education at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute; stated that it is only in the larger cities of the Southern States that instruction is given, trades can be carried out technically. He stated that the solution of the problem of training builders for small communities would be to get men or apprentices on the short-unit basis at some place which is centrally located. Charles H. Evans of Tuskegee Institute said: We have calls for men who can do a little carpentry or manual training, who know something about brick work, who can plaster, who know about tile setting, and can instruct in painting. The county training schools, for example, are not able to pay a man for each trade, but they can give one combination man a good salary. We are planning at Tuskegee to shape a course that will allow us to turn out men to fit the special demand arising from advanced training in county training schools." A. L. Manly of Philadelphia said: "We need to project the idea of trade-training. beyond the mere idea of handling of tools in the or (Continued on Page Eight) Colorful News Movies By the Cameraman PRESTON NEWS SERVICE 1. Walter I. Cohen, Patriot 2. Welcome, Virgin Islands Commission Recently, we had the honor of chasing hands with the Honorable Walter I. Cohen, nominee of Presidents Harding and Coolidge for Comptroller of Customs at the Port of New Orleans. In appearance, Mr. Cohen was distinguished looking. In manner and personality, he was pleasing. In conversation, he was smooth and at ease, quiet in demeanor, and firm in logical convictions. In knowledge, he was a profound exponent of fine theories and splendid practices, backed by a wealth of experience gained and most Colored, gentleman gain it, by traversing a rocky road of difficulties and disappointments, but pressing on to achievement and honor. We reflected upon the historical and other features of the great city of New Orleans. We remembered of reading of its "banquettes" (side-walks.) We recalled the fact that until very recent years the Latin races of New Orleans mixed little in blood with the Anglo-American. We thought of the "quadroon" class, which enjoyed a certain legal freedom for generations before the Civil War. We could almost picture the "Marble Room" of the Custom House, in which there are accounted for, each year, an average valuation of $155,000,000 worth of merchandise. We remembered that in New Orleans, for many years, slavery had kept away free labor, and that the that improvidence and feudal self- "plantation system" has fostered complacency which looked with indolent contempt upon public cooperative measures. Last, but not least, we recalled that a noted feature of New Orleans is its cemeteries, and we realize that the caudal appendage of the feature must have been resting in Washington when Mr. Cohen's nomination entered the "finals" before thee U. S. Senate. For, with the deepest of regrets, we learn that the Senate has rejected Mr. Cohen's nomination by a vote of 37 to 35, taken in an executive session; and we are told that "personal" objections on the part of the "solid south" were Senate Rejects SAYSBROADAND LIBERAL VIEWS AREREASSURING Declares Colored People Are Now Coming Into Large Recognition For Their place In Nation's Industry. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 28-(P N. S.)—I hope your organization will devote itself to the promotion of high purposes, and be guided by practical ideals, as it has been in the past," President Coolidgege stated in a message to the National Negro Press Association, which met here last week in its annual session. "The disposition to a broad and liberal view of the problems in which they are especially concerned is a sign of our times that gives much occasion forreasurasnee. The colored people, now coming into large recognition for their great place in the industrial structure of the natio, are already benefiting; and we may be sure that in the evolution of events they will continue their progress," the President said. More than 150 colored newspapers were represented at the meeting. Many of the leading editors from all parts of the country were present and took a very active part in the shaping of policies for the future moulding of public sentiment and general education of the reading public. largely responsible for the rejection of Mr. Cohen. And then, we thought of Mr. Cohen, the patriot, the able American, an honor to himself, an honor to his people, an honor to his State and an honor to his country, serving without pay, braving for a second time the imaginary inequality of races, and smiling in a defeat not of himself, but of right and justice and of the commands of his party and the President of the United States. Even if Mr. Cohen did lose the Comptrollership, he can never lose the affection of his countrymen. They unanimously voted him that long, long ago.

And he was 2 porter, too,— one of the most care- ful fellows I've traveled with. One Saturday night, Bob complained a.

Little thinking that he was in carnest, I told him to stop in the office the next time he was ir Cleveland, and I'd try to fix hig up, You can hardly imagine my surprise when on the first of the month: Bob showed ‘up, told me he had quit the road, and asked for a job, ‘All I can give you at pres- ent is a janitor’s job, Bob,” I told him, and $60.00 a month is all it pays.” “Good!” he said I'm ready to hit! “So Bob went on as a janitor, anid pretty soon, as the business grew, he had risen to be Chief Jan- itor, and’had the privilege of hir- ing-his own men, In less than.a year:after’we had put up. our new buildings Bob had six assistants, all fine chaps, who worked hard and conscientiously. "One day, one of our best pat- ternmakers was taken ill, and we were pushed for men and time with ren to complete some contract work, We telephoned around town for patternmakers, but couldn't lo- cate a single one. I was feeling mighty blue, when Bob entered with a quizzieal smile on his face. Understand you need an expert patternmaker,” he said, quietly. ‘ got a good one downstairs, if you'd like to try him, sir,’ Bob contin- ued. . “Where is the man? Send him up to the Superintendent, at once,” I cried, scarcely able to belicve Bob. “Well, sir, Bob brought up one of his colored janitors, and dont you-know that fellow could: make patterns as. skillfully as any man whom I have ever seen. “After that we were short of mechanies two or three times, and don’t you know that Bob had a man on his force for pratically every job in our plant.

BRIGGS Instructor of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. THE REVIVAL UNDER SAMUEL—1 Sam. 1-7. Golden Texts Direct your heart unto Jehovah and serve him only—1 Siam. 73s. 4. Samuel Gathers All Israel to Miriam—1 Sam. 7: 5, 6. "Today there are many junctures when all the churches should be gathered together—perhaps just now to effectuate the world peace, and to restore internal credits; both monetary and moral. Mizpahs are many and various, but the need for spiritual if not political solidarity is constant. Every now and then it happens there is real efficacy in congregating in certain place, perhaps some spot of hallowed memories—as under the shadow of a temple." Things had come to a pretty pass among the Israelites-20 years in slavery to the Philistines; their enemies had overcome them in battle the ark of covenant—symbol of Jehovah's presence—had been carried of by their conquerors. The record says, "All Israel lamented after Jesovah." Samuel summons the Israelites to Mizpah for prayer, fasting, and confession. Before assembling at Mizpah, the people, at Samuel's command had put away the foreign gods and Ashforeth from among them. Their purpose was now to direct their hearts unto Jehovah and serve him only. "The evils which had led to the present calamities were misery and idolatry. The people had forsaken the Lord, had revelled in wickedness, had utterly forgotten the Law "The evils which had led to the present calamities were impiety and idolatry. The people had forsaken the Lord, had revelled in wickedness, had utterly forgotten the Law of Moses; and retribution had overtaken them as a direct consequence of their sins."—Deane. 2. The Philistines fought and Overcome.—I Sam. 7:7-11. "The enemy is quick to discern danger, for a return of Israel to God means a return to power, and hence they spring upon them while unprepared.—Gray. The whole Philistine host assembled to crush the unprepared Israelites. The sight of their powerful enemies took all the spirit out of the children of Israel. A naturally logical thing for people to do—in great crises call on God; our extremities are his opportunities. "Even chose who have seated prayer turn to it in times of distress, when their ship is going down. When the plague is raging, when the life of some loved one is slipping away, when they feel themselves to be near death. If they have forgotten how to pray, they beg others to pray for them. This common experience is one of the best proofs of the external reality back of prayer."—Peloupert. The man of God made a sacrifice unto God and called on Him; and God answered. As the Philistines were assembling to do battle against the Israelites, God caused it to thunder; the Philistines were discomfited and smitten before Israel. These enemies of Israel—her oppressors were utterly routed. Pray therefore when thy heart is light. And he hath made thee glad; Pray in the dark and stormy night. When life hath made thee sad..... Maryannane Farmingham. 3. The Ismelites Have Complete Peace Under Samuel.—1 c: 12, 13. The Philistines were so thoroughly subdued that they did not again invade the land of Jewry all the days of the life of Samuel.

"We have here the grateful commemoration of victory. Where the gray stone stands no man knows today, but its name lives forever. This trophy love no valuits of leader's skill or soldier's brivery. One name only is associated with it. It is "the stone of help," and its message to succeeding generations is Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. That Hitherto' is the word of mighty faith. It includes as parts of one whole the disaster no less than the victory. The Lord was helping Israel no less by sorrow and oppression than by joy and precious help. He helps us by grief and losses, by disappointments and defects; For whatever brings us closer to him, and makes us feel that all our bliss and well being lie in knowing and loving him, is helpful and beyond all other aid and strength-giving above all other gifts."—Malaenar. In a crisis one Gody man is worth more than ten thousand wicked ones. The crying need of our world today is for leaders who have the fear of God in their hearts. This incident at Mizpah gives the lie to—"God is always on the side of the heaviest battalions." Blessed is that nation who acknowledges, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." That connection is there between national calamities and sins of the nations. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The audiences in attendance for Sunday were the recipients of pouch food for spiritual growth. In the morning, Rev. F. W. Jacobs, preached an impressive sermon from the text, "The Lord is my strength and Song, and he is become my Salvation," Ex. 15: 2. In the evening service, under the auspices of the Know-Nothing Club a short program was rendered including a sermonette by the pastor from the subject, "Esther, the woman for advancement," text Esther 2: 11. The occasion marked the 18 anniversary of the club, and the founders, the late sister Adline Jacox was catalogized by her son Prof. Jasox. There were two additions to the church. A cordial welcome awaits all strangers and visitors. The blessing of a handicap Scarcely anybody wishes to have weights hanging to him. Most people, perhaps follow the course of least resistance. They like to just do things with the least possible expenditure of energy. Impediments and handicaps are not attractive; neither are they inviting. But handicaps in themselves do us more good by far than harm. Their mission is to bless and not to curse. He who has a handicap ought to thank God for it. 1. A Handicap is Mighty Incentive Every handicap is a challenge—a red blooded man, a real man doos things in spite of his handicap. Hard, difficult things appeal to work harder. The handicap pulls the best there is in him out, as nothing else can. Difficulties are put in our way to be overcome. Handicaps are given to us to be overcome. He finds a way to make a way. A good many people—are not expecting a man with a handicap to do much. That should be a powerful incentive to him; go ahead and do the big thing because people did not expect you to do it. 2. Only A Big Man makes great Use of a Handicap. A handicap only handicaps a piggy—a little bit of a fellow—a small souped person. Only the Handicabs and Napoleons can say, "There shall be no Alps." A great spirited man does not look at his handicap, he thinks most about how he can make it count for most. The greater the handicap the bigger the man must be who overcomes it. 3. Do not Make Capital of Your Handicap. Some times the crippled beggar and the blind vendor make capital of their handicap. It is kind of stock in trade. They sort of commercialize their handicap. They put undue stress upon their handicap. The writer once saw a crippled begging on a street corner. Facts Of Life Told To Men One of the largest audiences of men seen in Norfolk in many years crowded the spacious auditorium of the First Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. The central feature of the meeting was an address to men only by the pastor Rev. Richard H. Bowling, from the subject, "Secrets Of Life For Grown Men." In the audience were men representative of every church in the city and numbers of visiting men from nearby cities of Portsmouth, Holland and Suffolk. The program was enlivened with solos by Rev. Lounie Myers and Mr. W. W. Foster and with several selections by the Silver Leaf and the Brotherhood quartettes. The White-Lillies, a prominent social and beneficial organization of the city, was present in a body. "There are some things that may be freely discussed with all ages, even the tenderest," said Rev. Bowling in beginning his address, "but there are some other things with which only grown men are fitted to deal. Therefore our meeting this afternoon come up only of grown men come expecting to think for a while on some of the facts of life which do not appear on the surface." With these few explanatory words of introduction, the speaker then plunged into a discussion of his subject that was both interesting and helpful. Time and again the audience expressed its approval of the things being said, while many declared later that the address was one that should be heard by men everywhere. In closing, Rev. Bowling declared, "Life is more than physical and social adjustment as manifest in virile manhood and ideal mating. Animals learn to take proper physical care of the mates, and to live happily with their mates. Is this then the whole purpose of man's being, to be attractive to his kind and to make for propagation of himself? And yet, how many spend their lives as if this were so! Their education, their life work, their avocations, all center about the mating of fine animals. And the sum total of their existence is most evident in swell living, honor at the price of snobbery, and contentment within their small circles. As if there were no more to life than that. Ah, yes, life has a deep He noticed that the crippled man who had lost one of his legs would pull up his pants' leg so that the prospective givers could see the hare stump. This crippled man was playing on the sympathies of the public; he wanted it to appear that he was worst off than he really was; the crippled beggar was making capital of his handicap. 4. The Futility of Complaining because of having a Handicap. Handicaps to some people are a cause. The chronic complainer—the perpetual whiner is a nuisance; he is life's greatest discourager. A crampchanger, a joy-killer. The man who has a handicap and constantly complains about it is a liability. Whining, complaining, absolutely no good; it makes the handicap handicap more. The man who is whining, because he has a handicap, not only makes life miserable for himself; he makes his neighbor's life implausant also. He who bears his handicap nobly and has a sweet disposition in spite of his handicap is an asset; he cheers, encourages, inspires. 5. Some of the Greatest things in the world were achieved by men who had Handicaps. Homer, who wrote the Iliad, one of the greatest poems in the world, was blind. The great musician Beethoven was dead. Milton of incarnate memory was blind. He wrote the world's greatest Epic poem—Paradise Lost, when he was blind. Stromauer's electrical wizard, the man who played with thunderbolts was a hunch-back, dwarf a cripple. When he died the world paid homage to him. It was said of him—"He had the mind of an angel and the soul of a sage." Demosthene, the foremost orator of the world stammered so badly that he had to put pebbles in his mouth so that he could speak effectively. I have been told that Tad, America's foremost cartoonist has a withered hand. "He who has a hobbit should He who has a handicap should think "God for it." NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE er meaning. Underlying life and the secret spring of all that is worthwhile in it is man's spiritual nature." On Evangelistic Tour Through The South Rev. Mrs. Elnora T. Carter, evangelist of the New Jersey Annual Conference, A. M. E. Church, who is on an evangelistic tour through the South is visiting in this city on Sunday night week Rev. Carter will preach at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Last Sunday she preached at Brighton Rock A. M. E. Zion Church, Portsmouth at both morning and evening. Rev. Mrs. Carter is a graduate of the Theological Department of Howard University, Washington, D. C. and has been very successful in the evangelistic field. While in the city she is the guest of her friends BANK ST. P. Y. P. U. The Topic for next Sunday will be found in Matt. 5:1-2. Mr. T. P. Turner, Jr., captain of group one will be in charge of the meeting Miss Wanzer I. Bagnall and Proj. C. W. Reynolds, principal of Booker T. Washington High School, will address the meeting. Is The Baptist CreedOutworn? "Are Baptist tight in refusing communion to non-Baptist Christians? in refusing letters of Christian commendation to Baptists desiring to unite with churches of other Denominations? in requiring re-mmersion of applicants for membership previously immersed in non-Baptist churches? in having their minister refuse opportunities to preach in non-Baptist pulpits?" These are some of the questions that will be answered in detail by Rev. Richard H. Bowling in a special sermon at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night at 7:30. He has announced for his subject, "Christian Fellowship And Hindering Traditions." Another special feature of this service will be the distribution of cards on which individuals may write questions about the Bible, christian doctrine, or church history, which they would like to have answered. A few of these questions will be answered from the pulpit each Sunday night and then submitted for open discussion from the floor. In discussing his present plans, Rev. Bowling made it plain that he thinks people should be allowed to freely discuss such matters and so come to hold their beliefs from conviction rather than from the accidents of birth and dogmatic training. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST The Lord was in our midst last Sunday. As usual the morning prayer meeting and Sunday school were good. At 11:30, the pastor preached a great sermon from the subject, "All right." 2nd Kings, 5:1. In the afternoon, the pastor chair and congregation worshipped at Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church B. Y. P.

I was in my carr thirties, but felt and looked like an old woman, and I never wanted to go to work. I was always in line for any one to talk to me, for I was in pain all the time, was so nervous I could not bear for anyone to walk across the floor in my room. I was just foolish, and I was not wrong with me but I didn't know what to do for myself. One day the mail man brought in a letter that contained a message from a doctor to a "T." After reading it through, I decided to give Polio T reatment a trial. Of this wonderful treatment was like magic. I began to improve from the first dose, and I kept improving until today I am as well, strong, active woman, and feel like a woman.

Perhaps, after awhile, the Negro in Virginia will find his proper place in Republican politics. ‘The Chicago Judge who thinks that one white witness is to be believed as against nine blacks ones lacks the pri- mary essentials of being a judge. Walter E. Dixon of Cambridge Uni- versity, speaking in London at the Roy- al Institution, said that the United States “is the world’s most neurotic country, with Britain as close second,” and that neurotics are easy drug vie- tims. ‘The trouble the Federal Govern- ment is having to enforce the liquor laws would indicate that the roots of the drug habit are sunk deep in the Na- tional body. Few people know how much Mr. John H. Washington, the brother of Dr. Washington, who has just died at Tus- Kegee Institute, contributed to the suc- Ge88 of his brother and the Tuskegee Work. He had charge of the industries but he kept a close watch upon all the activities of the school. This was all the more necessary as Dr. Washington spent so much of his time away from the institution getting together the nec- essary money to keep the work going. He was a very quiet but genial and capa- ble man, and his loss to the Tuskegee work cannot be over-estimated. European polities are more voleanic to-day than they were before the World War. Uneniployment, poverty and hard- ship have come upon the people as a thief in the night, and distress is gene- ral, wth National distrust everywhere. Relapse of the people into barbarism, out of which it emerged in the Middle Ages, is not improbable. Meanwhile, Is- lamic Asia is said to be in the urge of a great awakening, and the voice of the people of Africa is beginning to be heard for larger self-government and econom- ic advantage. George Young, a Negro of Dallas, Texas, who has reached the age of 105 years of honest life and labor. has de cided to take a little rest. He should have it. He is said to be very “pert,” for his age. which is a great deal more than many younger men of the race ap- pear to be, and who are always “tolla. ble, ‘cept this lumbago.” or something else, it being difficult in some distriets to meet any one above forty who will say, “Thanks, I am very well.” Often as a person thinks concerning his health and other things, so it is with him. The Sanhedrin Conference A Success ‘The long heralded Sanhedrin Con. ference on race conditions, which met upon the call of Deen Kelly Miller of Howard University and others, at Chi- cago, Monday, February 18, appears to have been largely attended by repre- sentative men and women of the race and unusual harmony appears to have ‘characterized the proceedings, which is great gain. There has heretofore been too much friction in such conferences. Rival ambitions and schemes have done too much to obscure such good results ‘The long heralded Sanhedrin Con- ference on race conditions, which met upon the call of Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University and others, at Chi- cago, Monday, February 18, appears to have been largely attended by repre- sentative men and women of the race, and unusual harmony appears to have ‘characterized the proceedings, which is great gain. There has heretofore been too much friction in such conferences. Rival ambitions and schemes have done too much to obscure such good results as were really obtained. It rather in- dicates that the race is learning in the shard school of experience that the only way to accomplish anything worth while is to get together and act together after doing so. That sort of co-operation is obtained only by education. The racé is to be congratulated on this score, as well as upon the mature and reasonable recommendations of the Conference, which have been sufficiently treated of in the News columns of The Journal and Guide. It was eminently timely that the Editorial Page of ene conference should acknowledge th plendid service the Negro Press is ren lering and to “stress the increasin need of developing a policy of construc ‘ive service by which interests of th roup will not be jeopardized by th ommercialization of the news.

That “it shoul 3e able to command sufficient money t accomplish the work mapped out for i should be a foregone conclusion, as th ace has the men and the money, if i vould only show the will to do it, an ve all hope that it will so will.” Conference should acknowledge the splendid service the Negro Press is ren- dering and to “stress the increasing need of developing a policy oft construc- tive service by which interests of the group will not be jeopardized by the commercialization of the news.

This is the first set back that Pres- ident Coolidge has had in the Congress, but it is not probable that the Demo- cratic measure will prevail as adopted by the House when the matter shall be finally determined by a joint conference of the two Houses. The main point is that radical reduction in taxation is bound to come ottt of the final legisla- tion upon the subject, and that is what the people of the country insist upon. ‘The general fear is, however, that President Coolidge may not approve such a compromise tax bill as may be finally adopted, because he may think it does not meet the requirements of the people; in which case the people would take sides with him as against the jug- gling for advantage of the politicians of both parties in the Senate and House of Representatives. The interests of the people always suffer when politicians shape their conduct on personal rather than public grounds. It is bad for a party when seventeen of its members can be found to cooperate with the op- position to destroy an Administrative measure. In the present instance, it is significant of the divisions in the Repub- lican party which may have a bad if not deciding influence on the Presidential election in November. That would be bad for the country, which has not had time to recover from the untoward in- fluences which eight years of Demo- cratic Administration under President Wilson hitched upon American affairs at home and abroad. From the viewpoint of the Afro-A- [meriean people a Democratic Adminis. {tration at Washington has always been in the nature of a positive calamity. from any such during the ensuing eight years we have abundant reason to pray and to pray without ceasing. As far as the race is concerned, the Harding Ad- ministration was thorough] Democrat. jc in everything except name.

That the progressive churches among the white people are using advertising space to an advantage is evidenced by the following editorial comment appear- ing in a recent issue of the Norfolk Ledger-Dispateh: “Tt is a healthy sign of the recognition of newspaper space when churches insert regular advertisements announcing Sun- day or other services.

Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church last Sunday. This event was advertised in one issue of the Journal and Guide in display type. ‘The church was crowded with men, some coming from as far as Suffolk, Smith- field and Holland. ‘There is no question that newspaper advertising is effective in advancing re- ligious activities when judiciously used. 7 Spirit of the Press ‘Sanbediin | From The Chicago Herald and Examiner | A year or s0 ago a Negro college proferso ‘determined that what the Negro needed to help ‘solve race problems was an opportunity for ‘talking things. over. More than sixty Negre [organizations of all sorts have in the yeat tak- fen the iden up, and last weck the “Negro San- hedrin,, held its first meeting in Chicago, |The idea is co-operation for the development of the best in the racial chavacteristies of the Nexo. In the long run, that is how solution of the Negro “problem,” if there is such a problem, must come. ‘A democracy’ is not like the feudal system. In a democracy a certain level of accomplish- ment is absolutely demanded of citizens. It that level falls over a wide space, the whole democracy sinks accordingly. The Negro race feannot litt itself’ by pulling on its own boot straps, but neither can it be pried up unless it provides some sort of a fulcrum. Intelligent Knowledge of its own faults and virtues pro- ides that fulerum, ‘The “Sanhedrin” hopes to help in providing that knowledge.

Social and industrial bar- tee have been interposed and strengthened, 'scomingly, even since the emancipation of the Negroes ftom the bonds of human slavery, and this, despite the progress of those peoples, in- dividually and collectively, in education and in | their ability to share in the responsibilities of citizenship. ‘ | ‘Thus because there has been inherited by ‘the present and carlier generations of white : people a class consciousness which has sougiat to set up its own idol of social aristocracy, s | there has gradually been established among the Negroes, and particularly among those who [have advanced farthest in their struggles to |attain, a compensating, though an altogether | innocuous, class consciousness, an assertiveness which throughout the ages stirs to its depths the peoples, whether of race or class, who are regarded ag the submerged minority.

An Adventure In Good Will By R, By Blazer, Educational Diver ‘The Interacial Commission It's Origin and Work $$ $$ Part 3. RESULTS | Following is a brief summary [indicating the principal lines of iwork carried on by the Commis- sion and its allied state and loca jcommittees, and some of the re- | sults attained: | The facts about lynching have boon carefully digested and given the widest publicity through the press and otherwise. Special laws for the prevention and punishment ‘of mob violence have been studied ‘and efforts put on foot to have jthe laws of cortain states strength. ‘ened at this point. Maps of the Southern States showing lynch: ling areas and data have been pre- pared and used in the big Sum- mer Conferences, in the college of |the South, and with other groups. j_ 1 Georgia much attention ‘ha heen given to the colleetion of evi |dence and the prosecution of par- ticipants in lynching cases. ‘Twen: ity-two indictments were returned [ancl four convictions secured, with ;penitentiary sentences. In previ- ;ous years indictments in such ca- ses had been practically unknown Legal Aid Extended | Legal aid has been extended in | many cases in Georgia in whic |Negroes have suffered from mot violence, exploitation, and the like Several thousand dollars have been raised locally for this purpose. It is believed the results have beer quite salutary. The efforts to secure better ed cational conditions for Negroes hhas been everywhere an important part of the work of interracial committees, state and local. Scores ‘of fine schools have been built, par- ticipation in bond issues secured, terms lengthened, salaries raised, etc, In‘Atlanta alone $1,200,000 is now being expended for new colored schools as the result of an ‘agreement brought about through the local interracial committee. , The Commission and its state ‘and local committees were given ‘primary responsibility for the pro- over this plan after is effective- ness has heen demonstrated. Sev- eral hospitals for colored people have been secured through the ef- forts of local committees, The Tennessee Committee has se- cured the appropriation of funds for a state institution for delin- quent colored girls, Efforts to the same end are under way in other states. Investigations have been made as to traveling conditions and oth- er public utilities, and relief ot improvement secured in many ca- ses, Swimming pools, playgrounds libraries. and similiar facilities Have been provided in a number of cities. Membership has been secured for’ Negro farmers in mar- keting associations. Local griev- ances have been investigated and relicf secured in many cases. Study Race Relations Two groups of college professors are brought together annually to study ‘race relations, with a view to teaching the subject in their re- spective. schools. Such courses are now being given in more than a seore of colleges. Colored repre- sentatives of the Commission have carried the message of good will into the leading schools through- out the South, and everywhere have been cordially received by faculty and students. In this way thousands of students have been reached directly. The Commission is seeking a plan by which the sub- ject of race relations ‘may be in- troduced in some form into the zommon schools of both races. Strong committees of women, all in positions of influence and lead- ership in the various civic and re- ligious groups, have been organiz- ed in eleven Southern states. These committees are studying the con- ditions of Negto life with special reference to the home, the school and the church, and. are seeking to promote similar study in all ic- cal women’s groups, clubs, miseior- ary societies, ete. They are under- taking ‘also many practical plans for improvement of schools, sani- tation, health, child welfare, and the like. The unmeasured con- demnation of lynching. invariably voiced by these groups has been a powerful factor in awakening pub- lie sentiment to the enormity of this evil, Growth of Understanding The growth of understanding and cooperation between theraces is evidenced by the fact that Ne- gro agencies are now being includ~ ed in practically all Community Chest campaigns in the South. In Atlanta six distinctively colored organizations are so included for a total of $34,600, and in addition provision is made for partial sup- port of the Georgia Race Rela- tions Committee. Local interracial committees are always active in these campaigns, forming conven- ient points of contact and under- standing. A. press service is conducted which reaches regularly all the dai- ly papers in the South, a hundred leading religious weeklies, and all the colored papers—a total mail- ing list of about one thousand. To these periodicals more than fifty separate communications were rent out during the past year. These releases were very widely printed and must have reached millions of readers with messages of better understanding and good will. Group conferences or personal interviews have been held with ed- itors of. principal dailies to the number of a hundred or more, in which their sympathy and- coope- ration have’ been asked. Almost without exception the response of these men has been most gratify- ing and their sympathy has been manifested practically in’ theiy news and editorial columns. “It should not’ be understood frum the above that the race problem in the South has been solved.
