He said the policeman accosted him and inquired where was the pistol he had just bought, when he showed it to him. Attorney Robert Stith succeeded in having the jail sentence suspended upon representation to the Court that Jones was a hard working man with no criminal record and his offense was one of inadvertence rather than intent. $ $ $ Harry Walker was hailed before the bar on a vagrancy charge.

FATHER'S LOVE AND MOTHERS' Oh, father loves the baby, With love that's fine and high, That is to say, provided, That baby does not cry; With tender and deep devotion, He's willing, all the while, To be the pleased receiver Of baby's sweetest smile. But mother loves the baby, When he is good, or bad; When, angel-like, he's smiling, Or when he howls like mad. And baby has a feeling, Which time will not erase, That, while Dad has his good points.

BED TIME STORIES In Pullman Smoker Lincoln News Service (Lincoln News Service) HIS PARTNER A grave countenanced gentleman who might have been forty-five years of age, was seated near the window, as I entered the smoker. Between his silent puffs on an old-fashioned pipe, I could hear him muttering to himself—"Poor Joe—Peer Joe," and then a feeling of pain would seem to overcome him and he would gaze out into the darkness. "Here is a chance," I said to myself, "to perform a little good Samaritan work. Here is some guy who has probably had a run of hard luck. Perhaps he's killed in business, or had a death in his family. I'll warm up to him, and maybe I can spread a little sunshine." "Stranger, would you like to look at the evening paper?" I ventured to ask him, after nerving up myself to break the ice. "No, thank you," came the quiet reply. "Perhaps you'd like to rest your pipe a while and replace it with a cigar." I added quickly, as I offered him a refecto. "Very well, you sir," he replied; "so I know I'll stick to the old pipe a while longer. It reminds me of all times end of Joe. This was about once for me. I thought to myself. Here was a fellow to whom I had shown the hand of good fellowship, and if he wanted to continue his silent ride, why I should worry. So I crossed my legs. Blow some smoke rings, and made myself content, when to my utter surprise, the strange haze of silence. "Say," he almost whipped. In a half husky voice: "Have you ever been forced to lose the very best friend you ever had—one with whom you'd split your last dime, and whof let you have his last penny if you needed it?" "I don't wonder at that, for I've had one, and it's hard to realize that we're going to part company soon," he continued in a sad tone. "Why, where is he now, and why will you soon lose him?" I asked, as my curiosity increased. "He's ahead, in lower 3, and I guess he's on his last run. I'm trying to make Colorado with him. The doctors said he might last three months if I could get him out there in the mountains. God knows I'm trying to get him there. I'll never have another pal like Joe, and it's my fault that he's sick" the stranger added, with a sigh "You see, I'm a promoter," he continued; "and when I grabbed some timber land in Florida, on a speculation scheme, Joe, Brown was the only living man I wanted to have associated with me. We were kids together and went through school as buddies. After that, Joe went west and became a lumber mill expert. I wired him to come back from Oregon and go to Florida with me. Well, Joe came on, and we hit it for Florida. Well, sir Joe put over the mill work and in five years we'd made $90,000. It wasn't worth while, though, for Joe lost his health. He didn't like it down there, and the worry and hard work were to much for him, but he was too game to quit," concluded the stranger, as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Well, you see those fellows down South weren't used to seeing a colored lumber foreman and expert mill hand, and—" "Colored lumber expert." I gasped. "Colored, to be sure," the stranger replied, with emphasis, but the whitest man with the whitest soul I've ever known. I've put his half of the profits in the bank for his kids, and I'm going to spend every nickel of my share to make him as comfortable as I can. Poor Joe!

There was a fine spirit of harmony and a strong desire on the part of the institutions to place athletics on an educational basis. It was the final verdict of the members that only through such an organization as the C. I. A. A. can athletics be conducted and controlled so that they will be an educational moral, and social asset to the thousands of young men and women now participating in the various forms of athletic activity. The spirit of fairness and good-will characterized the delegates. A number of institutions that have been having trouble with the schedules were able to get together. L. L. Watson, director of physical education at Howard-University, presented Howard's objections to the present eligibility rules. The Howard authorities, according to Mr. Watson, believe that they should not be subject to the eligibility rules now enforced by the association. They believe that students who are not of college grade but who have played on any other association teams, if they go to Howard should be eligible to four years of competition on Howard's teams. They believe that those years in which such students have played against Howard should not be counted. For example, they contend that a non-collegiate student who had played three years on Hampton's team, should be allowed four more years at Howard. This seemed to the other members of the association to be giving too large a place to athletic competition in the life of the student and would encourage some of the very evils that the schools are try- CARDS OF THANKS After weeks of illness, Mrs. W. H. Harris, of Sewell's Point, is able to be out again. She takes this method of thinking her many friends for their kindness during that time.

After prolonged discussion, the question was submitted to a committee to investigate and report its recommendations. TENNIS TOURNAMENT Becauseof the demand for greater recognition of tennis, the association voted to conduct an annual tennis tournament, the first tournament to be held this spring. The date of the annual meeting was changed from March to the second week in December. This is considered a better time to discuss the problems arising during the football season. A Committee on Football Schedules was appointed. It will present tentative schedules for all the teams at the December meeting. A number of speakers appeared before the body and presented live topics dealing with athletic problems. These will be printed in full in the "C. L. A. A. Bulletin." F. B. Henderson, physical director, Dunhair High School, Washington, D. C., in speaking on the subject "How Can Schools Cooperate with Officials to Develop Efficiency?" submitted the following recommendations and suggestions. "Encourage your athletes who know the game and who have the temperamental, judicial, and executive qualities necessary to go in for officiating. Develop them in your intra-mural sports. Plan for a consideration of this topic in your summer school courses. "In your major games insist upon men of experience, character, and ability whether occasionally they do or do not make mistakes. "Learn to place the proper valuation upon comments or criticisms of player, interested alumni, fan, faculty members or president. The official is often the bridge over a poorly placed bet or bad play or loss of a game. "Make fees commensurate with the importance of the contest caliber of the official, and worth of his time and preparation. "Avoid cheap distribe abuse of officials. He may have erred. The best do. "Cussing" him out does little good save giving vent to a fital emotion. Rather, in another season, if if you are confident of his unitness do not engage him. Simply be sure that you are improving in your next selection. "Do not expect a major official to do efficient service if you have other men working in the game who are dodging responsibility, playing for future contracts, or whose ability is known to be inferior but which might be borne with by reason of a superior man in chief capacity." One of the most important subjects discussed was that presented by Dr. W. G. Alexander—"The Influence of Fraternities on Athletics." This paper will appear in the press at a later date. The future of the association has never been brighter, and with the great growth in athletics and our public appreciation and interest, there is real work to be done. Boys Wanted!

Y. 100 Clarence "Bull" Merritt, one time amateur welter-weight wrestling champion of Tidewater Virginia and of local football fame is doing good in New York. Merritt needs no introduction to old timers who followed the mat game when it was at its height in Norfolk, neither does he need any introduction to those who kept pace with the pig skin jugglers. The Bull has been a stellar foot ball performer for the past four or five years. He starred with the junior teams and then stepped into fast company. Here he proved to be somewhat unstopable when he stuck the old oval snugly under his arms. Merritt was noted for his hard line drives.

RECORDS 4.98 In the Metropolitan city where athletes abound in limitless numbers, Bull Merritte is doing his stuff with the best of them. He was slated to appear in a meet of the A. A. Ass'n, but owing to injuries received in a previous bout, he was forced to cancel the engagement. He is now under going special treatment and expects to jump into the fray very soon. Merritte is not only making good on the mat, but is taking part in other phases of sport, such as basketball and baseball. Of course spring training has just begun recently, but he looks as if he is going to make it hot for the person trying for the same position that he is trying. The Bull has also been elected the president of a newly formed athletic club, which is composed of approximately 50 young men. Merrill will return to Norfolk late in the summer or early fall to take up his duties as coach a I. C. Norcom high school. He turned out a good squad last foot ball season and it is his intention to have a better aggregation in the coming year. He also plans to have a squad of basketeers. 742 DIGESTINE Uues for Dyspopsia, Sluggish and Torpid Liver and various forms of Stomach and Bowel Troubles and their effects such as Indirection.

I will now try to tell you what are some of the things that make it hard for the people of today. Where is the farmer going to get his help for this year? The shops have taken all the men and boys we have to hire. Therefore the farmer will not put out the crops he has in the past few years. The wealthy men buy up all the produce the farmer has and hold it for a higher price and they are going to get it. Why don't some of the people who have gone to town, come out to the farms and help us? In that way the cost of living will be reduced. If you city people don't get all you want to eat, don't lay the blame on the farmer, for he hasn't the produce for you to get. On the farm we work from 12 to 14 hours a day in the summer. Why not get good prices for our work, the same as other men. I, for one, think it is coming to us. I see in New York that they lay all the blame on the farmer and don't say anything about the other men at all. Most of us own our farms and don't have to have heavy crops. D. T. H.

MORRIS, Directress PARENT-TEACHER LEAGUE Held its meeting last week. It was well attended and much interest shown in the subjects brought before it. The consideration of the ninth grade was given much of the time. Prof. P. J. Chesson stated that he had twenty-five that would be ready for that grade and that the boys and parents have asked him many times about the addition. Prof. A. J. Brown, chairman of the committee of ninth grade and vacation school, promised that he would get in touch with the school board and inform the members of his committee of the next meeting in order that the matter be presented to them before the budget is made out. This was emphasized because the board stated in a letter last year that our request of the ninth grade could not be granted, for the budget was The FLORSHEIM SHOE The Florsheim Shoe Store Co.

It has been thought profitable to mention the following information on reading, that all will be interested in it: The first object of reading is to enable the child to get thought from the written or printed page; second, to teach the child to vocalize; third, to develop a literary sense, a love for good literature; fourth, to give the child technique in reading, and to add to the child's information, to give him knowledge. Dr. Jahrhling who gave the lecture on reading, said that no school room ought to have white wall but soft colors; that all books should be selected that have the pictures in one upper or tower half of the page, and not small ones on the sides with a few lines in reading. The reason is that it is a waste of energy to have the eye adjusted to short lines and in the next second adjusted to long ones, but all pictures should cover the Coal Phone 24683 DRY SLAB WOOD—Bright PINE BLOCK WOOD—Soh OAK BLOCK WOOD—Lon ANTHRACITE HARD COAL WELL SC Pocahontas Nut, Eggs, Lump, C.

That there will be no full cash payments is a certainty. Last week the House Ways and Means Committee rejected a proposal embodying the idea of full cash payments and directed the sub-committee to draft a measure providing for paidup life insurance policies with an option of cash payments that were not entitled to the $50. The paid-up life insurance policy proposal appears to hold the soundest solution to the soldier bonafide agitation yet devised. It escapes the charge that its working out would entail a huxe withdrawal of funds from the taxable postponement and an aggregate amount to be paid to the soldiers before the last dollar of the obligation would be The Flavor Lasts This writer firmly believes that for our group the paid up life insurance is infinitely better than a cash compensation. We have heard of compulsory widow's and orphan's insurance in some countries, Germany being the foremost in this kind of legislation. And paid-up life insurance to all ex-soldiers is a near approach to universal insurance and can agree that universal compulsory life insurance would be one of the greatest blessings that modern civilization could bring. Norfolk Journal and Guide It is said that Rev. Crandall declared with .vethenge that it takes two to make a quarrel, and both parties are in some way to blame. A number of divorced communicants in his church, is said to have had uncomfortable relationships uncomfortable, for him. The Norfolk preachers declared that they intended to preach the true and adulterated gospel and allow the "hepits" to fly where they will or may, and they do not intend to go among the pews smiling out an apology for their strong words either. This writer has heard most of them preach at various times and sometimes they have dropped words that caused a quiver in the compass, and they best to avoid playing "dog up the alley," and of course nobody hollowed. CURBING In American THE POLICE criminal jurisdiction no man can be compelled to give evidence, against himself. Of course, that is the theory of the administration of our criminal code, but, often self incriminating evidence is forced by diverse means. But has been left for Police Justice Spindle to rule that when a policeman forces a drunk suspect to walk in order to ascertain if he staggers, the officer forces the suspect to give evidence against him, and judges be guided that such is illegal. This certainly appears to be a sound ruling. Hereafter the police (Continued on Rage Eight) or his family, but a paid-up life insurance policy will protect his loved ones from a wretched condition such as so often enters the home of the poor as soon as the family head dies. It is the general impression that President Coolidge would sign a soldiers bonus bill modeled on the plans outlined in the paid-up insurance proposal. The immigration bill is before the Congress. It provides for restrictions even more drastic in some particulars than the present law which has operated to exclude thousands of foreigners from this country, a fact which has brought about the greatest migration of Negroes from the South that this country has ever witnessed. Appearing before the Senate Immigration Committee last week Hugh McRae, Capitalist of Wilmington, N.C., in opposition to the immigration urged the substitution of a flexible selection system in the pending bill. McKae would make it possible for the South to select Danes, Swedes and Dutch to settle the farm lands of the section as independent farm owners. "Restricted immigration," said Mr. McKae, "is causing the industries of the North and West to call for Negroes by humiliation of thousands, by taking the basic labor supply of the South, and resulting in abandonment of thousands of farms and loss in operation of thousands of others." The one thing the South needs to aid in stabilizing its prosperity more than selective immigration, is non-selective law enforcement respect for constitutional rights of its citizens and a firm commitment to the political creed shall not inhere to burry any man from the freedom of life, limb and the pursuit of happiness. If the South in the last quarter of a century had spent only a most insignificant sum in the education of its Negro labor, trained it in the schools and colleges of agriculture, had spent the most out of the soil, and encouraged it to full cultivation of the field thru protection from the curses of peonage and tenant farming, it would today possess the most tractable and dependent labor supply in the world. And unless some of the things we remove from the land which it most unfavorably to the world, selective immigration offers no cure for the South's agriculturalills. Speaking before the American Law Institute recently, Secretary of State, Charles E. Hughes, said that a serious weakening of the nation exists in the "inexperiment," in the expressions of authority of government in the country of the land. "Thru the laws," he added, "are victims of proxicity, uncertainty and confusion." Everyone, expect the lawmakers themselves, realize that the multiplicity in the manufacture of laws is creating unending confusion for the citizens. The Legislature of Virginia has just ended a session in which it took particular pains to annoy the people with a useless and senseless law. They enacted the racial law, and the criminal law. Under it the citizens are required to register their racial identity and pay a fee of 25 cents for doing so. Just how this hocus pocus legislation will promote the purity of races is not clear to anybody. Virginia has a history of white people and Negroes, and wherein comes the need of NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1924 Commissioner Tigert Calls Conference On The Education of Negroes By Wm. Anthony Avery Hampton, Va., Mar. 13.—"Mind and the products of mind are worth more than land and the products of land," declared Dr. John J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education, in his recent address on "Industry in Education," which he delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, before the Fourth Southern Conference on Education in Negro Land-Grant Colleges. Doctor Tigert stated that North Carolina was a good instance of a state that has thrown off the shackles of an outworn conception of education. "Knowledge, skill, and intelligence," he said, "are necessary to ill program and professions are worth more accents." He made a plea that the Southern States should capitalize their wonderful natural resources through the application of technical knowledge and thereby increase the per capita wealth of this vast region. SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITIES Hon. E. T. Franks, Washington, D. C., is a member of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, in his address on "The Value of Technical Training," stated that the South has about one-third of the population of the United States; 2,500,000 horse power in water, out of a maximum horse power of 100,000; of the railroad mileage of the United States; owns $18,306,000,000 worth of farm property; produces in a single year $14,139,000,000 of agricultural products; has over 16,000,000 spindles; consumes in its mills over 4,000,000 bales of cotton a year; cuts 16,214,000,000 feet of lumber a year; a mineral outfit of $1,217,000 has invested in industrial enterprises only about 18 per cent of the money invested in manufacturing and produces in manufactured goods only about 18 per cent of the National output. "Factories go," he said, "where labor, railroads, and capital are accessible. The South has a shortage of skilled artisans. In 1922 it was true that only four-fifths of one per cent of the $1,750,000,000 spent for education in the United States was spent in teaching men, women, and children to labor with their hands. In 1923 the Federal government spent four cents per capita, and the government additional thirteen cents per capita on teaching people how to work with their hands. At the end of June, 1923, over 536,000 boys and girls, men and women were enrolled in American vocce made the greatest manufacturing center on this earth. We can, we must, do it."

Winsor McCay, pictorial philosopher for the Hearst papers, and one of the most capable free-hand artists in America, has recently prepared a drawing entitled: "I Could Use That Fellow," and which pictorializes "good European workmen" whom American employers could use to great advantage, according to Mr. McCay's sketch. The artist goes on show that immigration is placed upon foreign labor, are an unwholesome barrier to the actual needs of Uncle Sam. The artist is undoubtedly sincere, and his crayon wizardry is unquestioned; yet the picture which he has portrayed does not tell a real good American story. Granting it to be true that the problems of labor are kin-problems the world must and that American labor in hands with foreign labor along some lines, there is no reason to believe that an increased influx of foreign labor, particularly at this time would aid America's industrial progress. Conversely, it has been practically proven certificating everybody to buttress this law? If there are those who have not been regardful about the racism of their will to register or be the case, registration or no registration, and this miscengagement law is a dead letter from the start.

NEGRO LEADER SPEAKS Doctor Gandy, who was re-elected chairman of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges for Negroes said: "The organization of the land-grant colleges is based upon a desire to promote the economic good of the people of the country of the Nation—the economic good that will grow out of the utilization of natural resources which will produce wealth and promote the happiness and prosperity of the people of the country. People will feel that the appropriation of more money for the education of the Negroes in the South and the (Continued on Page 11) that America's unemployed workers could not have been so well absorbed if there were no restriction placed upon incoming foreign labor. The stands of living of foreign labor are much higher than of American labor. This means that the foreign labor can be hired for lowers wages than American labor. And the ultimate result is just as it has been in the past: Discriminating preferential for foreign labor to the prejudice of American labor. And it doesn't matter to us" has been the slogan of unrestricted employers. Last, but by no means least, the Negro labor of America represents a potential part of America's industrial forces. The problems of Negro labor have already been addressed and the restricted immigration them the grim chance to secure a foothold upon the industrial ladder which leads to the heavenly abode known as "Full Industrial Opportunity." Let Negro labor secure compensations as a semi-blessing for its year to toil before the day of theayment. The competition is keen enough unready and it should not be quickened by bands of workmen, many of whom do not even become naturalized citizens. Let our fellow countrymen first feel the thrill of clutching fun dinner pails and meeting Santa nights with a living wage in their pocket-book; for work, like Charity, should begin at home.

"Don't shoot!" Whitman begged thickly. Howard laughed aloud. "I am glad you are taking an interest in life again." "What do you mean?" before you. That's what interests me. Or rather that's what was driving me wild before I left the house tonight." Howard went into close and careful study of the papers before him, taking up packet after packet to ask Whitman questions Howard discharged gents and employed could be trusted to a reports. He ordered n pairs made and he gagged plenty of small matter to that should keep him that would awaken his own affairs without What do you mean: "You were slugged. I picked you up and brought you home." What did you rejoinder. He seemed to be turning the matter over in his mind. Then he said, in a more comfortable tone, "Thanks." "I—I—don't mean to appear rude or officious." Howard explained from his seat before the desk, "but I have taken the liberty of looking over your papers after a tip from you in your enforced sleep, and I've come across a number of matters here that ought to be attended to before you lose more money on them." "Who are you?" demanded Howard. "I am a lawyer." "What's your name?" "What's John Howard. My grandfather borrowed the name from the man who owned him and we've kept it ever since." "What do you mean, owned him?" "My grandfather was a slave." "Oh, yes, of course." Whitman felt abashed at his own $w$ lack of wit. He began to think about his own name, the great name of Witman. Suddenly he said he will want a look of astonishment his eyes. Your name is three generations old—mine are three hundred—yes, here are tonight saving my life and telling me what to do with my property. Your ancestors poked around in a jungle while mine were the companions of kings. "You can't reach back over three hundred generations," Howard countered, "you can't reach back over one generation and influence your ancestors and they can't influence you in a slight and shadowy way." "What do you mean by that?" "I mean every whole man has a chance. Everyly mind has the world's treasures open to it. Because your ancestors were so soft that doesn't harness you well, because you will let it. Because mine are ignorant that doesn't mean I can't learn." "You have evidently." "There are fundamental facts and truths in the world. They may belong to anyone who cares enough for their rewards to let them into his mind. If one was possessed by the whole current of progress is rushing the other way, he will finally attain whatever he works to get." "Great Scot." Whitman exploded. "I don't understand all your talk about fundamentals and the rest of it, but I know you sound like you had good horse sense.

Howard went into close and careful study of the papers before him, taking up packet after packet to ask Whitman questions concerning them and to make notations on small slips of papers which he attached to each packet as he finished with it. Finally Whitman left the divan and drew a chair up to the desk. The two men, who a few hours earlier had been utter strangers to each other on a dark street, worked earnestly in the beginning of a big attention to the fact that a few hours sleep could undoubtedly put them into better form to pursue an interesting matter on the morrow. It was very late indeed when Howard closed the front door of the Whitman mansion and hurried off over the frosty pavements. He arose very early the next morning in which he operated the elevator. He gave up his job there and turned it over to a young substitute who had been hoping for many a day that Howard's law would pick up so that he might have a steady job on the elevator Howard was at Whitman's house at nine o'clock by arrangement with that gentleman and together they started forth to begin the interesting matter of reclaiming Whitman's broken fortunes. They visited the bank in which Whitman had a safety deposit box and there Howard found that Whitman had neglected to cut the coupons on a dozen bonds for a number of years. They found stock in a stone quarry in Vermont that Whitman, having recently widened doors from a fairly guessed Upon investigation by Howard the stone quarry was found to be in working order. An unscrupulous manager had been pocketing Whitman's profits. Then there were other stocks carelessly bought that were now piled up in mounds of worthless paper. Howard discovered that Whitman had valuable real estate holdings on the north shore and that he owned several large apartment buildings by any dishonest person paying him nothing. Early in the afternoon Howard and Whitman went around to these buildings and found that dishonest agents had been renewing leases and collecting rents. They had easily discovered that Whitman knew nothing of his own affairs so they sent in elaborate reports of repairs made, and made none, and pocketed the money. Whitman had never been able to deipher any of the reports by any of his agents, he had never expected to pour into figures when he hired someone else to do it. Little by little the checks had ceased to dribble in.

He ordered necessary repairs made and he gave Whitman plenty of small matters to attend to that should keep him busy and that would awaken his interest in his own affairs without taxing him too much at the outset. As they were inspecting the basement of one of the buildings they came across a man who was badly crippled. He had paid no rent for two months. "What's happened to you?" Whitman asked. "I got crushed in a shaft at the corner." He did not get and compensation. Howard inquired. Howard inquired, "I didn't get nothing," gasped the man. "Not even a civil word and I been haulin' for 'um for years." After some more questioning, Whitman discovered that the man had been injured while in the em- ploy of a company whose president had been a close friend of his father's. He scribbled a note to him on his card and Howard went to see the president of the company in bearth of the injured man. He got in sight of the magazine of the Whitman for it was not yet known that Whitman's fortune had dwindled. "Who are you?" the president astomised at the sight of the neat Negro who stood before him. "Are you Whitman's junior?" "I am his attorney" Howard enjoyed the astonishment rose into the other man's face. "Mr. Whitman's tenant has a just claim against you, but we don't propose to press it if you will make a reasonable settlement. The solicitor made. As Howard left the office the president called him back. "I liked the way you handled this matter. I didn't intend to pay anything when you came in here, but you made it all seem human—well, see here—our attorney is crowded with work and we will wish for me to help those who are right over in the neighborhood of Whitman's property." "Glad to" returned Howard. The days were soon filled for both Howard and Whitman. While it was impossible to recover a car he no longer needed, a wealth he acquired something that stood him in much better stead. He gained an interest in life and before the year was over Howard had neglected the sale of his north shore property, retaining one lot on which he advised Whitman to move to a new town. These are just a few of the reasons that enabled Howard to send for his mother and take her away from the station in a shining new car to a pretty little house that he had bought for her on a wide (Continues on Page 11) If it were possible to make finer hair dressing Pluko would be made that way because Pluko Hair Dressing is made especially for men and women who know that to be successful, and leaders, they must look like leaders.

BENJAMIN TANNER JOHNSON AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENTS OF NEGRO COLLEGES By Benjamin Tennier Johnson Durham, North Carolina Gentlemen: I am a graduate of one of your colleges. I am also a product of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard University. Up to a few months ago most of my experience was in a confidential junior executive position in a large New England organization. I have seen how the average American attacks and solves his difficult world problems. From my observation here in the South, together with my experience and training elsewhere, I feel as though I might venture a few sidelights on the FAILURE of educational, social, and business agencies to get actually down to bedrock and meet the condition of the Negro in America. At the present time I am the Director of Sales and Advertising for the Royal Knights here in Durham N. C. Our institution is a legal reserve fraternal insurance society forty-one years old. In my position it is my pleasure and privilege in many ways to mold the opinion of the masses. The problems connected with my position are intimately bound up with great and far-reaching economic and social questions. There are forty-thousand members in our order alone. There are several other orders with much larger membership and there are innumerable orders with much smaller memberships. In all, estimate that over a million members of the colored race belong to some one of these orders. It seems to me that through these various orders our educational institutions could really affect and help mold the thoughts and ambitions of a needy people. The big problem of the intelligent Negro is the proper assimilation and control of the proletariat. This can be done Educational institutions among Negroes have got to use every avenue of public activity to meet the condition for which history will hold them responsible. A SUGGESTION It is all very well and good for our students to study about Ignatius, Popin, and Count d'Artois, but it is immensely more important to attack the vital everyday problems and dispose of them. I agree also that Negro Schools must have the same curricula as white Schools nevertheless our schools must have more than that if we are to help a benighted people. The larger universities are attacking present day problems of civilization by adding numerous modern courses to their curricula and eliminating many of the ancient ideas on education. Negro schools must definitely link up with the condition of the masses and thus intelligent publicity control the thinking apparatus of the man farthest down. Instead of taking an abstract, provincial, and hypothetical point of view, the college professor through the Associated Negro Press, and through various business and fraternal organizations should extricate himself from his academic environment and see whether what he is teaching is hitting the mark. Then too, if he has no definite, practical, target—he should get one. A sample investigation would show that, in many instance, some of the courses taught miss the target entirely. I doubt seriously whether there is a single school among us that has any instruction which covers legal reserve fraternal insurace. A appeal to our university heads to formulate a way of really getting at our problem—which is the common man. WILMINGTON Wilmington, N.

EMANUEL NOTES At the eleven o'clock hour a large crowd greeted the pastor, Dr. Berry, who preached a special sermon, the occasion being "Women's Day." The text "(O Woman, great is thy faith) the sermon was well received, and the women were given on a high place in the galaxy of world leaders. At 3 P. M., Mrs Ida R Harris of Petersburg, Va., was the special speaker, she addressed a large audience, and won for herself a position of high rank as a speaker in the opinion of the people of Portsmouth.

The Travelers’ Aid Society of Nor- folk has made a splendid record~for ser- vice. A great many things happen in the dark which those guilty of them do not care to have shown up in the light. The secret vote of the Federa! Senate on the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen to be comptroller of customs at New Orleans, was one of those things. The Republi- can week-knees who voted with the Democrats against confirmation because of race prejudice only should have their votes known for the benefit of their constituents and the rest of mankind. Yes; we need more trained mechan- ics. The demand is great, but the sup- ply is limited, among blacks and whites, because too many would rather earn six- teen dollars a week as clerks than six- teen dollars a day as mechanics. It is very largely a matter of clothes, in which collars play a big part. We shall outgrow the weakness, and the drive which Hampton Institute has been mak- ing for the building trades interests will help much. Secretary of War Weeks. who is a great deal weaker than he need be in dealing with Negroes and other off-co- lor citizens of the country, does not think the Filipinos are ripe for inde- pendence. They never will be by his standard, which is the same as that of the American moneyerats in the Phil- ipinos, parasites who always follow the flag. But the Filipinos think different- ly and threaten to adopt the non-co- operative tactics of Mahatma Gandhi. the East Indian prophet which would cause more or less trouble and loss for the Americans in the Philippines. Forcing Literary Recognition All the efforts made to keep the “Ne- gro down,” in literature and other pla- ces, have only failures for comfort, just all such to “keep him in his place,” be- cause he has in him the things that make for reputation and fame and for- tune, and they are bound to assert them- selves in one way and another in wnex- pected places and times. The Unexpect- ed is always a mysterious agency. We can’t ever just tell when and where it will make itself heard, seen or felt. It depends. Not long ago young Countee P. Cul- len, of Harlem's New York, a student in the New York University, entered the Witter Bynner undergraduate contest and won second prize. with “The Ballad of the Brown Girl,” 700 poems being submitted, representing some 63 colleg- es, and it was an event of the greatest moment to us. Sometime before young Cullen's victory Rene Maran, a-pure black African, serving in the French civil service in Central Africa, was a- warded the Goncourt prize, at Paris, for his book, “Batula.” and gained world- wide fame. So far in the heart of Af- rica was he when the prize was award- ed that it was three months before he learned of his signal fortune. Literally he went to sleep unknown and woke up famous. The New York World is conducting a weekly contest among the pupils of the public schools of New York for es- says.on the “Biggest News of the week,’ for which it offersweekly awards of $20, and 4 monthly bonus prize of $50. The contest is very popular with the young people. Last week the weekly prize and the monthly bonus were won by Miss Thelma E. Berlack. a sixteen year old young woman attending the Theodore Roosevelt High School. The young.wo- man has been standing high in her classes during the past three and a half years. but had notified her principal Editorial Pageot ~~ Norfolk Journal and Guide that she would have to give up her studies because of lack of money to go ahead. And then the $70 dropped into her lap, a double honor not won hereto- fore by any other pupil. She came to ‘New York from Florida five years ago and has been supporting herself and ‘helping to support the family by work after school hours, serving now as mu- sical director of the Young Women’s Christian Association. Every year we are adding to the ‘number of our literary people. The list is now quite a large and respectable one. The race inherits plenty of literary, ar- tistic and musical ability, and given the ‘opportunity. and we have it now or ean take it, we will after while attain our proper places in letters, arts and the sci- ‘ences. It is impossible to place a barb- ed wire fence around genius, whatever color of the body it shows up in, and say to it. “thus far and no further shalt thou go.” It may have been so, and we think it has been; but it is not now so. Ali honor to Miss Thelma Berlack, the new comer in literature, who has plenty of opportunity to grow into the larger reaches of literature. Police Efficiency and Inefficiency The public generally is quick to per- ceive the slighest laxity, in the function- ing of the police department and it has at times come in for sharp criticism, but a commendable coup by the guardians lof the peace usually passes unnoticed. [in fact policemen are brought into the ‘limelight by their failures and seldom ever by their successes. | Searcely a week passes that the acti- yities of the policemen of Norffolk do not land behind the bars some character who is a grievous menace to society, and |the catch made by detectives, Wilkins and Spence Saturday night was espec- ially meritorious. Shortly after eight o'clock, two white men attempted to hold up and rob a colored man in Maltby avenue. Two hours later a V. R. P. conductor was held up and robbed by two white high- waymen at the end of his run on Kim- ball Terrace. The police department was notified of both offenses and less than an hour after the latter, the two culprits were in the lock-up and identi- fied by both victims. One of the alleged bandits was armed and quick action by the detectives probably prevented a tragedy. Immediate dispatch to the scene of the robbery, a diligent search resulting in uncovering of the alleged bandits. and a bloodless arrest in the face of arms, this was real functioning by the ee department and is worthy of commendation. In strong contrast to this bit of per- |fect efficiency, however. was the inci- ident occuring a few nights ago when la cleaning and pressing shop on East Olney Road was robbed. A large plate glass window was smashed from the street creating noise enough to arouse the proprietor sleeping upstairs and Jother families in the block. He and oth- ‘er inmates of the house rushed into the jstreets and yelled for the police. At ‘least twenty minutes had expired and Inot until after headquarters had been ‘notified was a policeman found in the ‘vicinity of the crime, and not then until ‘a person returning from a midnight |moving picture show had directed the | proprietor to go to the theatre, where he | was told several policemen were con- ‘gregated. Acting on this advice he ‘found a group of officers calmly witnes- ‘sing the picture. A few minutes later detectives from headquarters had ap- prehended the robbers. | There is no doubt that the thieves |“piked” off the officers in the movie ‘house and felt safe in making the bold ‘robbery while their beats were clear. And this was remarkable police ineffi- ‘ciency. deserving of severe condemna- tion. ‘They Can't Draw the Color Line on the American Dollar.

Whether it was as whi s silver, or yellow as gold, or green : ne treasury note. the American doll ad the right of way. Even in our Sout mn States, where color prejudice The contributing editor of The Jour- na! atid Guide has traveled half around ‘the globe. and no place where he stopped even a little while did he find that the ‘American dollar had the color line ‘drawn upon it. Whether it was as white ‘as silver, or yellow as gold, or green as the treasury note. the American dollar had the right of way. Even in our South- ‘em States, where color prejudice is abnormally awake, the American dollar is respected. and the color of the owner often ignored, at least until the dollar ‘changes hands. The Negro who has ‘the dollar is separated in popular re- gard even in the Southern States from the Negro who has no dollar. And this will grow to be more and more the case, in the Southern States and every- where else. Moral: Get the dollar, pien- ty of it, and keep it where you can put your hands upon it in a pinch. Now, then: There is a persistent struggle going on in New York's Har- lem betweeen white and colored people as to the districts they shall live in. The whites do not want to be encroached up- on, and the colored people require more room, so they continue to encroach on the white districts, and they are gain- ing ground all of the time. Recently Mr. James C. Thomas, a young man of the race whose tather made a fortune “as an undertaker and real estate dealer, and who is himself now an assistant United States Distriet Attorney, in New York, recently mar- ried, could not rent an apartment any- where that he cared to live and solved the difficulty by purchasing a seven story apartment house on the corner of St. Nicholas avenue and one-hundred and forty-fitth street. t is in a white district bordering on-a colored district. The tenants of the apartment house are white. Mr. Thomas moved in and an- nounced that he would not dispossess the white tenants if they cared to re- main, as he has no race prejudice. Mr, Thomas could not rent what he wanted, but he could buy, and that is the way of it in Harlem, and most other places. When prejudice has to fight the American dolilar it gets on the losing side at once. The Jews and foreigners do not talk much; they get the American dollar and let it talk for them. Go. thou, and do likewise. Spirit of the Press es cee a oe Freedom For The Philippines From ‘The Norfolk (Va) Ledcer-Disnateh Filipinos are noc ready for freedom. Pres- ident Coolidge asserts, and in the present state of conditions and affairs in the islands ‘it will be many years before independence will be accorded them. / ‘The President 1m reply to a petition from the native organization behind the movement for independence, asserts that the United ‘States is not and never will be ready to re- ‘pudiate its responsibilities in handling the Philippine situatian and he makes it clear that the administration is strongly behind Ma- jor-General Leonard Wood, Governor-Genera! of the islands who has added another round ts his turbulent official career by constant dif- ferences with the Filipino legislature, frankly opposed ‘to his regime.

AAs for the President's defense of Genera! Wood, he expresssed confidence in the Gov- ernor’s integrity and sincerity of purpose, but it must be admitted that the situation in the islands has nat been improved by the constact differences between the government. represen tatives and the native statesmen, Whether Wood is to blime or not may not enter into the question, hut it is recalled that President Wil son agreed with General Pershing in refusing to send Wood to France bectuse of his tem peramenta! drawbacks. principal among which was his unwillingness to broak advice from any source—in other words, wherever he went trouble followed.

In other words, Mr. O'Neill says: Alright, here's your fair play and social equality, BUT SEE WHAT HAPPENS. Serious reffections on the whole thing makes us wonder after all whether “there is not metHod in all this madness," and whether we should not reserve for a while at Teast our estimate of Lhe final effect of Mr. O'Neill's adventure into interracial plays. In “Annie Christie” and other O'Neill plays with a tragic setting the end is in triumph. Bui in both of his race plays he sends his Negro characters whirling into an abyss of Uragic defeat, Better.Than Charity From The North American Lusures In a drive just closing in Nor folk, Va., this: week, and which wa: put on Cor “Sweet Charity,” a dis closure was made whieh throws an interesting Tight on the work being done in the South by the in dustrial life, health and aceident insurance companies, In Norfolk the sum of two hundved and nine ty-eight thousand dollars was asked for to meet the demands of the local charitable institutions. I ig well known that Norfolk has « large Negro population, averaging up in this respect with the other Southern cities of its size. In spite of this, the head of the Negro char: itable institutions asked only. fo a sum total of less than seven thow- sand dollars, leaving the remaining two hundred and ninety-one thou- sand dollars to xo to the white in: stitutions. Being asked why s¢ small amount was required for the Nogroes, the efficial said: “Phe in dustrial insurance companies take care of us, They pay us whien we ave sick, and bury us when we aré dead, ‘They have taught our peo: ple to save up their money, anc we are doing it, AIL of us work except when we are sick, and ther’ are only 2 few of our people whe need help,” ‘There is food for careful thought in the foregoing for the industria insurance companies of the South They fave dene a great work in behalf of the Negroes, and it is well that they have, ‘but a great a of endeavor is yet in front of them. Some of the companies have [for a short time been giving at penta to the writing of white risks on the weekly industrial plan, but as yet hardly a dent has been mace in the proposition, One indus: trial company official was heard say “Negroes ure much better risks than the poor class of white ‘peaple.” If that is true, the work of the industrial men among the Negroes during the past twenty years has made it so, And they have done it to the neglect of their own color. This sort of business never could have been justified anc i should not he tolerated any lon- jxer. It may mean that for a long time the industrial compaines wil luge much meney getting the whit popalation educated to the benefit of industrial insurance, but it is worth while and a duty they ow: to their own face.

DALNEY Virginie Union University — Race Amalgamation and eipnee In matters pertaining ty race, feeling rules almust supreme. Per- ple seldom approach the race prob- em with a seientifie attitude. Not only is-this true for the herd and rabble; but it is largely true for the scientists, Like religion, ene re lations have a large number of de- ‘votces that it eould'belter get along without. The Tiboks written by the average #o-eilled seientist—ethnol- ogist, gociologist, anthropologist or what not, fall short when sub jected to the penetrating rays of scientific criticism. Lothrop Stod. dar’s book, the “Rising Tide of Color” and Farnest Sevier Cox's hook, “White America,” belongs in the class of unseientifie books on the race problem, Both Stoddard and Cos ane alarmists. A Sane Discussion ‘The question of race amalgama- tion was discussed at. the regular meeting of La Critique in Rich- mond, on Saturday, February 23rd. ‘The significant thing about the dis- cussion was the, scientific way in which each speaker, with few ex- ceptions approached the question. ‘The speeches were for the most ‘part based upon seience. ‘The bio- ter dieniie iit ees ait Sa het Bia ov cain a word that will serve to distinguish them from the less in- ierest, May we call thent ‘RADE OACS?

PS) ‘ SSS ee 101, What was ‘The Freedmens’ Bureau?’ ‘The Freedmens’ Bureau, was created by an act of Congress. March #, 1865. [ts worl extended far heyend education, embracing abandoned lands and supplying the Negroes with food and clothing. Gen. Howard was appointed Com- missioner. The Bureau founded many schools in localities which had been in the line of the Union armies, and Unese with the others established by. its agency, were placed under some systematic su- pervision. In sume states, schools Were carried on entirely’ by aid of the funds of the Bureau, buf it had the co-operation. and assis- tance of several religious and he- nevolent societies. 105. Who was Nora ‘Gordon? Nora Gordon was born in Col- umbix, Ga.. in 1866, the daughter of parents who were former slayes, hulonging to the well known Gen. Gordon, She attended the public schools of La Grange, Ga., and en- fered Spelman Seminary in 1882. Nora Gordon's work as a_ pioneer organizer of Temperance Societies, and Sunday Schools is one of the outstanding achievements in. the history of Race-women. Complet- ing he course: in Spilman in 1888, an urgent call eame for her to go to Africa, where she labored until 1803, being compelled to return home in, that year: In 1895, her health boing. ‘restored, she was marrifd to Rev. S.C, Gordon and aesin returned to the Coren. 106. “Who was the first colored*man whose signa- ture mde money of worthless paper?

Who is the Worlds’ Champion Brick- layer? logical, sociological and anthropo- logical’ aspects of the question of sace amalgamation were considered. ‘That the Nugro is not advocating amalgamation, was evideneed by the (enor of the discussion, It was made clear at the meeting that the law just passed the State leyisla- ture would be impotent to remedy the problem of race amalgamation ‘unless provisions were incorporated in it for the preservation of the purity of both races: As presently framed, the law leaves out of. ac- ‘count the question of the purity of the Negro race. Negroes on the whole do not oppose legislation which is designed to prevent race mixture, But most of the laws which have been made, tend to pre- serve the integrity of the white prage at the expense of the Negro race at the expense of the Negre Leading Opinions In order to get the opinion of some of the leading authorities or race amalgamation, the writer wrote letters to several scientists asking them the five following questions: . 1, Do you think that by living in the same territory in the United States, the Negro and Caucasian race will eventually amalgamate’ 2, Do you think that race amal- samation would lead to a deterior ation of American civilization? 3. Do you oppose race amalga- mation? Why? 4. Do you think that the Negre s inherently inferior to the Cav. vasian?. Why? 5. In the light of the answers you have given to the four preced. jing questions, what would you offer jto ameliorate the race problem’ | Replies were received from Profs, |Exiward A.

Jones Executive Secretary of the National Urban League and James Weldon Johson, Sceretary of the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Color- ed People. Prof. Osborne replied in part as follows: “ * © * My per- sonal opinion is strongly against race mixture of any kind. I be- lieve each race that has been pro- duced by nature should try to de- velop its own best qualities along lits own natural lines.” Mr, Eu- zene Kinckle Jones wrote in par: jas follows: “I do not see how we can talk about group superiority o: inferiority when we can find black men in almost every line they have fe admitted who are superior in their attainments to the over- | whelming majority of white men. | “More liberial education. i |seems to me, is the only solution |to any problem of group relations. | education which makes men toler- ant of each other, sympathetic with jeach other in their misfortunes land encourage each other in their suecess and in their struggles to- ards a digger, better and more useful life.” ag | Advent of Saxon Clubs The “Worli” on December 2, peinted an article by Mr. John Pow- ell relating to the organization of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America and in his article Mr. Powell stated that the purpose of this movement vas, “Uhe protection of the Anglo- Saxon from deteroriation, which © © © ig always attendant upon the mixture of any race with the Ne- evo.” Mr, James Weldon John- son wrote a reply to Mr, Powell's article, In veply to Mr. Powell's statement that “no race even slighly ndmixed with any Negro blood has failéd to decay cultural- ly,” Mr, Johnson says“ * ° It is untrue. It is supported with ignor- anee o f history, with fake scienee, with dogmatic insistence. The Ne- gro is inferior, say, the Madison Grani-Lathvop Stoddard Kinder- garden of writers, and the profess- ional upholder of the Anglo-Saxon afyth cries out loud “hurrahs” In regard to Mr. Powell's statement that history ethnology and biology all bear out te Anglo-Saxon instine- tive conviction in favor of social in- tegrity", Mr. Johnson replies: “But here is no such conviction. Do the 3,000,000 Americans of part Negro white complexion represent this in- stinctive convention?’ Why did some twenty-nine or so states have to enact laws against intermar- viage if this instinetive conviction was on the job? The answer is obvious, Mr. Powell's statement is not only unsupported, it is divect- ly controverted by the statements of our foremost anthropologists like Prof. Franz Boaz, of Columbiz University; Dr. Robert H. Lowe, and Dr. Alexander Goldenweiser, among’ many thers”. Going fur- ther, Mr, Johnsonsays: “As for the Negro race, intermixture was fore- ed on him.
