The President used to compromise with the publican insurgents in the house to approve the compromise some tax rates adopted by that day, but, on second thought he angled his mind and the "com- romise letter" was suppressed. then his began to be noised at the Capital, it was denied at the White House that the Presi- nt had retreated one iota from original position that the Melt- lan plan must be adopted as "I" Regardless of the President's attitude, Administration leaders at the Capitol tell me that there is a chance in the world of put- ing over the Mellon rates. INFORMATION REACHES us as Senator Walsh would like to top the oil scandal investigation any way could be found to call fault gracefully. The difficulty that the Democrats in the Senate are hopeful of getting more Republicans involved in the oil mess, and the Republicans are just as useful of catching some more Democrats. So the game continues, and the country is flooded daily with mysterious code telegrams and all kinds of intimations involving officials, past and present, having nothing whatever to do with the leasing of naval oil reserves to private interests. THE NEWEST group in Congress is the "beer bloc." It is composed of members pledged to vote abstention of the Volunteer Effort. Their hopes are high, but as far they have not been able round up enough votes to command a majority. CAREFUL POLLIS show that here are more than enough votes both the Senate and House to ass a soldier's bonus bill over presidential veto, but the game Congress now is to pass a bonus ill that will meet with the approval of the President. Many publicans who would vota for a mus the first time might be found mong the missing when it became necessary for them to go on board against the Administration. the trend is a way from a straight fah bonus, with the majority fahing a plan whereby the veterans will get paid up insurance policies. s Held For Murder After "Truth" Test Birmingham, Ala., March 21—A.

But I was left to Ether Jones, a sightless man, of Broad Creek Road, to demonstrate the facility of inflicting a half-dozen stab wounds into the body of a man who could see. Jones was led before the bar in police Court Monday to answer on charge of felonious cutting. His detim, Louis Madison, was conned in St. Vincent Hospital.

RECOMMENDS STUDY OF COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK Washington. D. C., March 21. (P. N. S.)—Returning from an audience with President 'Coolidge, to whom they had been escorted by the Honorable James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, the Virgin Island Commissioners formally filed the report of their exhaustive investigation of the Virgin Islands. Commissioners George H. Woodson, Charles E. Mitchell, Cornellus R. Richardson, W. H. C. Brown and Jefferson S. Coage, who had been duly commissioned by the Federal Government to make a thorough inquiry into conditions, existing on the Islands acquired from Denmark, have compiled in their report a remarkable array of figures and facts, comprehensive in scope and accurate in the story which they depict of the economic and industrial lives of the 28,000 inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, of whom 24,000 are colored. The report of the commissioners shows that the sugar cane, cotton, and grass and fodder activities, which are conducted on approximately 44,000 acres of soil, together with the occupations incidental to fishing and transportation, comprise the principal pursuits of the islands, and that various conditions affecting the labor in connection with these enterprises have during the past two years, resulted in an appallingly large percent of unemployment. Wages, it is found, vary from 20 to 60 cents per day. The commission commented upon the fact that during the fiscal year 1921-1922, exports from the Virgin Islands, were valued at $754,729; while imports were worth $1,836,567, showing a loss of trade to the previous fiscal year, which according to the commission's report, is due to a number of causes, including droughts and the fact that St. Thomas is no longer used as a port of call by steamship lines using the Panama Canal and sailing to and from Atlantic ports of South America. Concerning the native population of the Virgin Islands, the Commission reported that it is "clean, bright, genial, peaceful, intelligent, honest, and very polite." The installation of a water supply and irrigation system; the restoration of St. Thomas as a port of call; the study of the preparation of Bay Rum in a manner which will place it in full consonance with the U. S. prohibition laws; a better system of education; and suggestions for the special study of the manufacturing and commercial possibilities of the islands comprise the major recommendations of the Virgin Island Commission. At the White House, President Coolidge expressed, in sincere terms, his confidence in the report of the Virgin Islands Commission, and pledged himself to stand behind it with all the executive power he has at his command. Secretary Davis expressed his full approval of the report. Morris, On Northern Speaking Tour Chus, S. Morris, Jr., is now in the North where he is filling speaking engagements. Everywhere he has appeared he has been greeted by overflow crowds. On March 27th he speaks at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Pittsburg, after which he will fill engagements in Newark, Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Detroit. Indiana University Mr. Morris is planning to enter Columbia University this fall for further study. THE WEEKLY PRESS Miss Trixie Smith, who has been starring with the Black Swan records, is playing in one of the local playhouses this week. Miss Smith's contract with the Black Swan people expired on the 15th of March, but on the same day she signed with the Paramount Recording Laboratories, one of the race's most popular records, for two years. Her first records for this company will be out in April. DISCONTENT AMONG COLORED MEMBERS OF G, O, P, IN VIRGINIA According to a colored Republican of State and National prominence all is not well with the party in Virginia as far as the race members of it are concerned, and with one district contest already formulated, colored Republicans he declared in an interview with the Journal and Guide, are planning to lodge with President Coolidge direct a protest against certain actions of the party leaders in the State. In the first place, said this gentleman, following conferences between certain white and colored Republicans prior to the State Convention in Roanoke, it was agreed that some consideration would be given the colored members of the party making up the district delegations to the National Convention. This was not done. On the other hand the newly enfranchised woman vote was simply taken care of. To all appearances the party leaders have not modified in the slightest degree their lily-white tactics in dealing with the colored voters. CONTEST IN FOURTH Contesting white and colored delegations will go to Cleveland from the fourth district. The colored vote is in a majority in this district but when the district convention was held steps were taken to exclude colored Republicans from the meeting. Following this action a contest was formulated with Thes. H. Brown, Royal Hart. P. W. Harris and B. F. Harris, leads in the movement. SECOND DISTRICT UNCERTAIN The Republicans have nominated Menalcus Lankford as their candidate for congress in the second or Norfolk distrist. Mr. Lankford made the race four years ago, and in the face of the heavy Democratic vote in this district made a very good showing. There is much apathy among the colored Republicans of the district and it is not apparent at this time that they will warm up to Mr. Lankford's candidacy. "Mr. Lankford himself," said one leading colored Republican "enjoys the respect and confidence of the rank and file of the party, but some of his coworkers in the NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1924 CATHOLIC BAND WILL FURNISH MUSIC AT FOOD SHOW CATHOLIC BAND WILL FURNISH MUSIC AT FOOD SHOW The third annual Food Show under auspices of the Journal and Guide will open Monday night, April 7th, with a concert by St. Joseph's High School Band, under the direction of Dr. Josiah Bailey.

DEATH CLOSES A UNIQUE CAREER OF AGED MINISTER Rev. Martin Williams Closes Half Century of Preaching In Death; Succumbs After A Brief Illness. ACTIVITIES EXTENDED THRUOUT THE STATE Rev. Martin Williams, a well known Baptist evangelist minister, died at the home of his daughter at Seatack. Princess Anne County, Wednesday, in his 75th year. Death came to Rev. Williams at the end of a week's illness. His funeral was held at the Union Baptist Church, Seatack, of which he was a member. Rev. A. S. Hoard, pastor, officiated. Several ministers of Norfolk and adjacent communities attended, and participated in the services, among whom were Rev. R. H. Bowling. Rev. F. W. Jacobs, Rev. D. W. Jones, Rev. W. A. Baker, Lynhaven, Rev. D. W. Baker, Oceana; Rev. J. H. Billings and Rev. Trice. So great was the crowd which gathered at the church from through surrounding territory that many were unable to find room inside the building. Numerous candolences and cologies were read from neighboring churches, friends and communities, attesting the popularity and esteem in which the deceased was held. Floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. A UNIQUE CHARACTER Rev. Williams was a unique character, but a devout gospel minister and loved and respected by thousands. He was an Albino. For nearly a half century he had been in the ministry, during which time he organized and pastored a number of churches. For the past 15 or 20 years, however, he confined his activities to evangelistic work, which each year carried him to practically every church in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Princess Anne and Norfolk counties and in sections at quite some distance from his home. He had an insatiable love for revivals, and wherever he heard of one being conducted he was sure to go, regardless of the denomination. His specialty was singing gospel songs, his manner and tune of singing them being all his own. In this respect Rev. Williams was inimitable, and wherever he was in revival the congregation refused to be satisfied until Ole Martin Williams, as he was affectionately called, had been heard. On the streets he was unique and as familiar as in pulpits, always with a ready smile and to inquire of the younger people who their parents were. In this way he would promptly form an acquaintance. He is survived by a daughter, son-in-law and other relatives. Man Claims Two Women Cut And Beat Him ```markdown ``` Thomas Jordan or Jackson told a story in Police Court Monday morning of having been beaten by Mary Smith and Annie Haywood Saturday afternoon. Physical evidence bore out his story. He wore a bandaged face and a cut arm. The man related a sad story of sisted that he did not know. The women's testimony shed a different light on the incident. They said that Jordan and a male friend of his had been in company with them previously and an argument between them precipitated a fight, the men pairing themselves against the women. Mary and Annie admitted inflicting Jordan's injuries, but pleaded self defense. Justice Spindle endeavored to elicit from the man a definite statement of his side of the affair, but he insisted that he didn't know why the women attacked him. The Court replied, "Well I don't know either," and dismissed the warrant. Attorney David H. Edwards represented the defendants. Senator Ransdall, of Louisiana, Smarts Under Final Smash of His Formidable Opposition. Administration Leaders Forced Action. Washington, D. C., March 17—Over-riding strenuous opposition of the two Louisiana Senators and their Southern colleagues, the Senate today in executive session confirmed Walter Cohen, Colored Republican leader of Louisiana, as Comptroller of Customs for the District of New Orleans, thus reversing itself on two previous votes. The vote on Cohen today was 39 to 38, revealing a net shift of two votes from the poll of February 18, when the nomination was rejected by a vote of 37 to 35. DETECTIVES SERVE NORFOLK WINS WARANT ON WOMAN SOUTHERN AID ENTERING CHURCH SOCIETY PRIZE jected by a vote of 57 to 63. Immediately after the rejection of Cohen last month several Senators began to formulate plans for reconsideration. Most active among these was Senator Spiaghett Farm-Laborer, of Minnesota. It was he who sponsored the resolution for reconsideration and in the poll switched from his former position of "Noes" to the "Ayes." It has not been made public who was the other Senator switching, but a statement has been made that several Senators on each side had transferred prearranged pairs in order that they might record their ballots. Senator Ransall, Democrat Louisiana characterized the action of the administration in repeatedly nominating Cohen and the Senate's final confirmation as "an outrageous proceeding," and out of harmony with representative government. Cohen could not be elected to the least important office in his state, the Senator said "and yet he is to be put over hundreds of voters and tax payers, not only in Louisiana but in several adjoining states." The action of the Senate today wrote the finale to a spectacular contest raging over sixteen months. Thrice nominated losing out once than inaction of the Senate, twice Charged with causing the death of the man, Charles Montague, whose funeral she was about to attend, Miss Lillie May Smith, of 540 East Bute St., was arrested by Detectives Nowitzky and Messick just as she alighted from an automobile to enter a church to pay her last tribute of respect to the deceased, Tuesday afternoon. The flush of "the law" into the crowd of mourners and friends who had gathered at the church and the dramatic arrest of one among them precipitated a deal of excitement and commotion. M is s Smith was locked up on a murder charge. She is accused of having shot Montague on or about March 1st. He died Saturday night. Death, it is alleged was due to wounds inflicted by her. When arraigned for preliminary hearing in Police Court Wednesday morning, a continuance was had until Friday. Mme. Florence Cole Talbert In Recital Wednesday Night Mme. Florence Cole Talbert In Recital Wednesday Night Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, celebrated Coloratura Soprano, a diamond medal graduate of Chicago Musical College, and declared by many to have a voice rivalling that of Galli-Curci, will appear in recital at the First Baptist Church, Wednesday night, March 28, auspices of the Swastika Club, spices of the Swastika Club, lighted audiences in practically every large city in the country and triumphantly acclaimed a superior vocal artist. Her mastery of technique, expression and interpretation is said to be superb. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR rejected and serving the office under three recess appointments by two Presidents and finally confirmed Cohen will draw back pay from May. 12 1922 the date of his first recess appointment. RECORD OF CASE UNPRECEDENTED The record of the Cohen case was said to be almost unprecedented in Senate annals. He was given a recess appointment November 4, 1922, and his name first sent to the Senate by President Harding at the special session which began that month. The session expired without action on the nomination, however, and Cohen was given another recess appointment. His name was sent in the second time, December 6, 1922, and rejected March 1, 1923. Another recess appointment kept him in office until December 10, 1923, when President Coolidge sent the nomination in for the third time only to have it rejected February 18, last, by a scant two votes. The statement then was made at the White House that Cohen would be kept in office without pay. It is said that there has been practically no opposition to Mr. Cohen by members of the force over which he has served during recess appointments. WORFOLK WINS SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY PRIZE In the most spirited contest for new business held during the history of the Southern Aid Society between twelve of the best writers of Norfolk, Richmond and Washington Districts, for the grand prize given by the Home Office of the Southern Aid Society, Norfolk District won. Norfolk got the jump during the first week, and held the lead for four-weeks. Both Richmond, and Washington fought gravely to the last ditch, but "Norfolk's Mit-tee Twelve" was too much for the Hall clan at Washington, or the Confederates at Richmond. The twelve men selected by Supt. S. B. Noble to represent Norfolk in the contest were: G. W. Nicholson, Robert Johnson, J. J. Glennard, A. N. Robinson, J. H. Williams, M. Nicholson, F. R. Curtis, T. D. Sutton, Jas. W. Davis, W. H. Stokes, H. J. Harris, E. McCoy. While "Norfolk's Mit-tee Twelve" men were defeating Richmond, and Washington, Supt. Noble's Little Nine men were defeating Portsmouth. The plan of campaign for these two victories was mapped out by District Supt. S. B. Noble. This is the second successive year that Norfolk District has won the grand prize offered by the Home Office. Both victories will be celebrated by a banquet, March 27th, to be held at the agent's assembly room 526 Queen St., Norfolk, Va. VISITOR IN THE CITY Mr. John W. Berry, of Cape Charles visited the Guide office Tuesday. Mr. Berry is much improved and stated that he planned to look the city over and effect a short rest.

The strange sight of master serving his dumb animal was so unusual that all of the office force of the Police Court stopped work last Friday to watch a colored man pulling his wagup on Sixth Street, while his horse calmly walked behind. Both seemed oblivious to the attention and jeering remarks that were directed to them by curious pedestrians on the sidewalks. The old man would pull the wagon for a short distance and stop to rest, but made no attempt to compel aid from the horse. When questioned, he said that his horse had become fatigued after pulling a heavy load, and, not wishing to overburden the animal, he said, "I climbed into the harness and started homeward. That horse is tired. I know he is. He couldn't tell me so. Most people are dumber than animals, ungrateful and lazy too," he concluded, and then resumed his way homeward. CHILD POURS OIL ON FIRE, RECEIVES SEVERE FACE BURNS Seizing a kerosene can thoughtlessly left within his reach, Master Orris Little, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Donnie Laird, 212 Lewis street, poured a part of the contents in the fire last Friday, resulting in a flare up of the blaze which severely burned his face.

"Now some are born famous some achieve Fame, while others have fame thrust upon them—But I'll let you judge for yourself!" says Lawyer Foreman. "A woman, who by bearing and dress, could be distinguished as newly rich, entered a street car, and with a very haughty air seated herself near an old Italian. "When the conductor came up to take the fares she said to him in a loud voice; 'Let me of at my husband's bank.'" "The conductor, who evidently knew her, assured her that he would, and pushed on to the Italian. "Let me off at my peanut stand called out the old fellow as he paid his fare."

REV. J. P. WATSON The Reverand J. P. Watson, greatly loved pastor of the Burns M. E. church at Oxford Mississippi, is giving thanks to God for a remarkable rejuvenation and quick renewing of his youthful vigor after he had endured a long period of suffering. Without going to the expense of a gland operation, and after having spent considerable money without success in search of his strength, he says that he had about given up hope when one morning he read about a wonderful method that others said they were following with great success. He decided to give it a trial. Now he says, "Thanks he to God I did try it. It is the best I ever used and it is a pleasure for me to recommend it to suffering people." The method the Reverand Watson adopted was the recently discovered korex compound. He says that he secured it by writing direct to the American distributors at Kansas City, Missouri. IS SAVED FROM "LIVING DEATH" Misery Confined Buffalo Man Two Years—Now Vigorous Again. Mr. A. Beard of Buffalo, New York, and one of its most active and vigorous citizens, also makes a similarly amazing report about a rapid recovery from premature old age and lack of vigor. For two years, Mr. Beard had a misery that confined him to his bed most of the time, according to his own statement. "All my neighbors thought I would cash in," is what he says about it. "I was so weak I could scarcely walk two blocks without being exhausted. I tried specialists and various treatments and finally lost all faith in medicine. I just about gave up when, whe $n$ I read about korex compound and what other sufferers said it was doing for them. So I tried it. Before finishing the second box, I felt ready to go back to work. Today I am strong and vigorous. I am doing very heavy work, working from 10 to 12 hours a day and haven't lost a day in nine weeks. That's what korex compound has done for me." Many who have felt themselves losing their hold on life, who felt old age coming on rapidly, and were generally discouraged, weary and worn out and who were seekinfi a corrective for exhausted glands and nerves, praise korex compound for its effect upon them.

Read What These Well Known Race Members Say About Keeping Nature's Gift of Youth and Renewing Vigor Texas Politician, 69 Years Old, Now "Young" Like Man of 30 R.B.Goosby Judging from the photograph of Mr. R. B. Goosby, the honored Republican Chairman of the 12th Senatorial District, of Texas and well known all over the State, one wouldn't judge him to be a day over 50. The facts are he is 69 years old and has operated a barber shop in Bryan, Texas, for 44 years. He still works, standing at his chair every day. Feeling old age coming on more rapidly than he liked, Mr. Goosby tried korex compound which he had read so much about and says that as a result he now feels like a man of 30. "It is the best thing in the world for aged men" is what I say. "After taking half of the first box, I felt so good I would not take a thousand dollars for what it did for me, and for the way I am feeling now. I am like a young man again. My sight is better. I sleep well, my nerves are as steady as when I was 20 years old. The compound brought ready relief when I began to feel my age. I take great pleasure in recommending it to anyone needing such gland treatment." All those wishing to try korex compound will be interested in the special trial offer printed below.

R. G. L. PAIGE, President PECTED RED TO R DAYS RAILWAY TRAINMEN'S LODGE OFFICIAL ENJOYS NEWPEP Grand Secretary-Treasurer of Race Railway Organization Was "Made Young." PETER B. Our friends, the members of the Association of Colored Railway Trainmen, will readily recognize this picture of their Grand Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. George H. Lewis, of 27 W. Jackson Mound, Memphis, Tennessee. Brother Lewis says that he recently felt the need of an invigrator to pop him up and make him "young" again and, like many others in the same fix, he tried the compound, which he took in tablet form. "It is certainly a fountain of youth. I am like a young man again and feel like I had a new set of glands," is what he says about it. "I can truthfully say that it is everything that is claimed for it and I want others to know about it and get benefitted." Brother Lewis also wants his fellow Railway Trainmen to give it a trial and if any of them want to ask him about it, he will sure give it a good recommendation. Porters, dining-car waiters, brakemen—all folks who have to keep all kind of hours and feel "played out" as a result, may be interested in knowing that many say the discovery has helped restore Nature's vigor in cases where many other treatments had failed. NOTIGED A CHANGE ALMOST LIKE MAGIC Says Man After Simple Treatment Which He Took Privately. Henry Cobb of Kinston, North Carolina, is also describing a remarkable restoration of natural activity and vigor after suffering from a run-down condition. "Two weeks ago," he says, "I was in bad shape. I had to take a cathartic after each meal or suffer. I couldn't sleep at night. I was always glad when day came." He then started taking the compound in tablet form. Then, he says, "I noticed a change almost like magic. The people asked me what I was doing to myself. The compound did it. And I kept right on feeling, sleeping, eating and looking better." Hundreds of people are taking korex compound to bring about the recuperative results they would ordinarily look for after undergoing a gland operation. And remarkable reports of lasting rejuvenation effects experienced are being reported by men and women of all ages. It is designed as a corrective for gland and nerve exhaustion and contains no habit-forming drugs. It may be taken privately and beneficial results are often quickly experienced.

BERNARD YOUNG. Jr. A unity of purpose which is particularly conspicuous because it is desirable in this case, but not in the intercollegiate Athletic Association for the coming seasons. Favourable indications were furnished in this direction at the meeting of the C. I. A. A. which was held March 7th and 8th, in the proposals of the association to have every member put tennis and basketball teams in the field in the future. It collegiate tennis competition I Negro schools had. But from preser outlooks it seems as if that brance of sport is coming in for its share of the limelight. Other matter of importance were disposed of. One of the most discussed topics of the meeting was that of the eligibility of players in regard to the number of years a player shall be allowed to take part in intercollegiate competition in any one sport in affiliation with sports, entirely in favor with the present ruling. There was one exception—Howard. It appears that Howard issued something of an ultimatum in regards to the time limit of an intercollegiate player's participation. The present rule is that "no player shall participate in intercollegiate athletics more than four years in the aggregate in any branch of sport in the institutions eligible for membership in the association. An entirely good rule. If it did not qualify athletes would be tempted to barter their services am many other things detrimental to the best interest of amateur sport. By all means, we think, this rule should be strictly adhered to. That the association is a co-operative force in intercollegial athletics is demonstrated in it condemning of the practices they have resulted from the intercollegiate fraternity. Fraternities can be of great good if they center their activities in the right direction. But when the let other motives displace the goof of the school they should have replace in the athlete's life. The is no need to take the ball only times during a game simply because the field general is a rivet. A glance over the constitution proves that it stands for that which is the best and highest in athletics. It may not be perfect, but it is swiftly traveling in the direction of perfection, as far as perfection is possible. An element of cooperation and complete harmony should exist and does exist to a very noticeable degree. The decision of the various schools to enter basketball team if the next season is a welcome departure from the custom of the past. The meeting was another conquest for the association. With the proposed program the biggest and newest seasons for all of the sport that has ever been experienced in the schools of the association. COACH YOUNG ON THE C. I. A. A After what a certain well known each term as "careful and thoughtful consideration of the workings of the C. J. A. A." he has drawn many conclusions—or rather expressed some pervious generalities: "There are," he says, "too many inequalities in it to admit of every approaching an ideal situation for Standard College." Yes, too many instances of only one or two school carrying out the ideals set down by the C. I. A. A. There is no doubt that he has done a great piece of pioneer and preliminary work" he says. We agree with him, and add that it is the most potent factor in intercollegiate athletics today "When it is seen that basis he has been made for a proper organization, steps ought to be taken to put that organization where it right belongs." He continues. Quite well, we shall listen to his method of doing it. "First," he says, "let the asscription be composed of two departments, a collegiate and a preparatory department." Unless it is a morbid manifestation of jealousy or fear this "two department" how is inexplicable. A few new schools have entered the league and proven great produces on teams, and the distracted collegiate has joined the off the invaion of the fighting "preparatory barbarians. See?" "Let these two department function separately in every repent," says he of the absurdity. That is too much of a wish, since most of the schools are progressing nicely, if you please, just as the are. But let us follow coast Young's statement to the end: "It is possible to organize along these lines in that there are enough schools in the organization with two departments to do. Where a school has no collegiate department, let its activities be among those with preparatory department only" he states. Are there any such, or enough to warrant such a drastic separation? "There is an effort made in this article to under estimate preparatory. We hope in football play given any other athlete should be given the advantage of both preparatory training and college development." We think so too. But not one who had his "preparatory training in a member of the association. When he goes to such a school he is aware of the fact that he can play only four years. Thus he is satisfied with his four years. Then too, did it ever strike you that it is not only "training" that these athletes get in "preparatory schools." Many of them make the All-American team with ease. Something in that. "Colleges" would like to get such players with such "training" of course. But we don't quite see the point. "It is unfair." he says, "to man if he has played four years while in a preparatory school, to say to him that upon integration into college it is unlawful for further competition." It is also unfair to the school that produces that player to save him come back and use what he learned there on them. Too he, in enter college at the same school. He rambles on that style for me time and among other things says that some of the rules are fully understood by the members of the association. That is all that is necessary since they alone have to interpret them and live up to them. and the C. I. A. live as it is, and our reason is that we believe that anything which is a constructive force should exist. Lafayette Players Add New Laurels With "The Lure" The original Lafayette Players resented the drama "The Lure" at the Attucks Theatre the first off of this week in a manner that captivated their audiences.

IN MEMORIAM In memory of my husband and our father, Lemuel Bynum, who died March 21, 1912. Twelve years ago you left us, dear- one, Whom we cherished and loved so dear; Can we help but feel lonely, When we do not see you here? We loved you; yes we loved you, But the angels loved you more, And they have gently called you, To yonder's blissful shore. We miss you, oh! we miss you, For we cannot ever tell; For your chair will stay always vacant, Since you went with God to dwell. But there our faith is strong with Jesus, Make us all abound; For we know we'll see you dearest. On that bright and happy shore.

County Advisory Board Meets The county advisory board met at Williams Hall, Suffolk, March 12, at 12 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting was to consider the plan of work for the year formulated by the local agent, D. C. Jones. After a brief discussion on the purpose of the advisory board, the local agent outlined to the board his plan of work. In brief, it is as follows: To create an advisory board of four or five men from each of the five districts to formulate plans and help the demonstration agent to formulate plans for community betterment in better methods of farming; First, in improving the soil by the use of soil improvement methods; such as planting clover and rye to turn under as green manure crops; second, crop rotation and systematizing the farm business so the farm can be continuously improved by the use of cover crops and crop rotation; third, improve the hogs by the use of purebred boars and the production of pork, by the use of a system of well planned pastures, and produce pork $ \mathrm{O}_{n} $ a cheaper scale than it is now being produced; fourth, improve the poultry and get more returns from poultry by the use of purebred cockerels, culling, better housing and better feeding; fifth, to organize eight boys clubs to give training in citizenship and instructions in better methods of production. The board unanimously adopted the plan of work as outlined by the local agent and recommended that a copy of the plan of work be mailed to each member of the board so that each member would always be familiar with his duties and responsibilities. Each member pledged himself and herself to do everything in his power to assist in carrying out the proposed plan of work and to form and help to form local organizations for community betterment. Mr. T. B. Patterson, district agent, Hampton, Va., was present and told the members of the board that they are, each one of them, members of the extension service of the state of Virginia and the burden of responsibility for community and county betterment rests very largely upon them. Rev. J. J. Posey who was elected to be a member of the board of advisors and attorney L. A. Howell, Suffolk, Va., gave their consent to cooperate in any way possible to help the board carry out its program of work. The members present were G. D. Crump, vice president, Chuckatuck, Va.; W. H.

SAYS LATE REV. E. H. HUNTER WAS NOT BORN IN OBSCURITY Prof. Hunter Desires To "Keep History Straight" Relative To Life Of Nephew Prof. C. N. Hunter, of Raleigh, N. C., writes the Journal and Guide a letter expressing appreciation on the part of the family and relatives over the manner in which the story of the late Dr. E. H. Hunter's life and death was handled in a recent issue of this paper. And, as he states, "to keep history straight" offers to straighten out what he characterizes a few inaccuracies stated in the article. In reference to these Prof. Hunter says: "The statement that Dr. Hunter came up from poverty and obscurity is not strictly true. He sprang form one of the best known families in North Carolina. Even before emancipation, most of them could read and write and were leaders in the community life of their race. An ancestral uncle—Alfred Craver was a noted Methodist preacher in the days when Negroes were allowed to preach. Dr. Hunter's home was amid the most favorable surroundings considering the opportunities and advantages common to his race. It was the abode of some of the most distinguished Negroes who ever visited Raleigh. Bishop Cain, Tanner, Handy, Turner, Hon. R. B. Elliott, Prof. R. T. Greener, J. C. Price, John C. Dancy, and a long list of others were the guests in our home. His people were a well-to-do people of the most race in the community. Indeed, Dr. Hunter came into an inheritance of character which he was quick to appreciate and make TULIP LITERARY SOCIAL CLUB The Tulip Literary Social Club held its last meeting at the residence of Mrs. Ethel Wimborne After a brief transaction of business, the evening was spent in playing Whist and Checkers Others did needlework.

If a check is not placed upon the present trend of athletic prowess and Bopulerlly in colleges to so completely over- shadow intellectual ability we stand in danger of shifting entire- ly the real emphasi+ of 2 college career. It is not necessary to think disparagcingsly of athletics to conclude that after all they should not constitute the main purpose of college careers.

Mr. Montgomery was 78 years old, a former slave of James T. Davis, brother of the Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Lawrenceville, Vn.,—March 16, 1888. Archdeacon Russell arrived in Lawrenceville to begin his life's work. He had just been ordained to his coming, by Bishop Whittle, to his coming, by Bishop Whittle. He reached here at night, after a long, cold, disagreeable drive of twenty-two miles from Belfield now Emporia, then the nearest railroad station. There was no church or chapel here, owned by the colored, and only a few somewhat discouraged communicants, who were worshiping in the white church, two Sunday evenings in each month. The Rev. J. Green Shackleford, was the rector of the Parish Church. His first work was to get this small congregation to make the effort to build a church. In this he succeeded, helped by the generosity of the church people in general as well as by his own family preparation. In the vestry room of the little church he started school on January 1, 1883. This parish school was a real necessity; little schools were few and far between, with terms of four and one-half and five months and equipment almost nothing. Hardly once in fifty of the people could read or write and scarcely any courthouse homes. Archdeacon Russell got himself to visit the homes in the county, but he was handicapped by lack of a horse. He attended the Diocesan Council in Norfolk of the then undivided diocese in May, 1832, and made an earnest plan for his work. He set forth so curiously his need for a horse that one of the delegates, the late Dr. Munichhauro arose and said, Let us give her Russian horse. An officer of the 1810 was the result of another Russell got his "ida," as she was called. Dr. Munichhauro a familiar sight as she journeyed about in this and, adjoining counties, carrying the Gospels: the "Missionary horse," as "ida" was called, was known to the white countryside of several counties. "ida," after 24 years of faithful service was burned in a fire which destroyed the barn. In the time the work had grown and spread in several counties as well as in the diocese. HISTORY TWO ACTIVE YEARS Driving Archdeacon Russell's institution of 42 years he has prepaired for confirmation more than 1,000 persons; celebrated hundreds of marriages, and officiated at funerals, besides a range of visits to the shores of Africa baptized and delivered several thousands of addresses and services in point of ordination he to the senior priest of the diocese. His little parish school has grown from a small church school, taught by hisself and the devised wife, now "passed over" into the largest school for children under the musics of the church, and the third largest of the kind in the United States, well on which he trained his wife, the mass of tangible growth, dense surrubbery and selected old, "burry in p prunals" is now crowned by the unclearly brick Memorial Chapel planted and electric-lighted and the modernly appointed and comforted buildings of the school. WILLIAMSTON Williamston, N. C. The service of William Chapel A. M. E. Zion Simpson was very impressive. The Sunday school was beautifully revived by Mrs. Bettie Andrews. At 11 A. M. the pastor, Rev.

HOLSEY DENIES CHARGESMADE BY JOHNSON Says His Interest of Tuskegee Hospital Row Was To Serve His Race; Objected To Personnel Selected. Tuskegee Institute. Ala—Alaun Hoseley secretary to Dr. R. R. Moton and secretary of the National Negro Business League has just issued a statement in which he denies the charges contained in what is alleged an attack upon him by Henry Lincoln Johnson made at the recent meeting of the Lincoln League in Chicago while Hoseley was in the same city attending the Attack Conference. The alleged attack was made in connection with Mr. Hoseley activities in connection with the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital tangle of suspicion. Mr. Holsey states that it is true he consulted with and taught the advice of Col. Johnson last spring on the subject of the hospital just as he consulted with and sought the advice of many other leaders of the race group. He says also that his disagreement with Col. Johnson cannot act as he was charged because Tuskegee Institute opposed a Negro personnel at the hospital because of the personnel Col. Johnson had selected to lead the hospital. Among others Col. Johnson had selected was John T. Fisher a clerk in his office, states Mr. Holsey, whose name Mr. Johnson had just submitted to President Harding to be commander of the institution. Dr. Edward T. Jones, was selected for the second place, Mr. Holsey continues: "I talked with Mr. Perry Howard, Col. Johnson's associate, and told him frankly that I could not endorse and support such a program and gave him my reasons. It was Dr. Moton's thought that the National Medical Association was the proper organization in our group to recommend physicians for this Hospital. I shared Dr. Moton's opinion and acted accordingly." UNTOWARD INFLUENCE "Although I had been to the White House several times before, it is true that immediately after my disagreement with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Howard, that some influence was brought to bear to keep me from seeing Mr. Christian at the White House, and that I had to secure a letter of introduction from Chief Justice Taft, before I received an audience. "It is further true that when I interviewed Mr. Christian, he told me that the president, NOT requested Mr. Johnson to take over the president of the Hospital, but that the President had asked "several colored leaders" including Col. Johnson, to suggest the names of colored persons who might qualify for positions at the Hospital and to ask such persons to make application at once. Mr. Christian further emphasized that the selection of personnel for the Hospital was in the hands of General Hines and would remain there. "Col. Johnson accuses me having "Col. Johnson accuses me having tissue Taft. I did not show any letter of any kind to the Chief Justice the day I interviewed him and I can prove it, nor have I shown it sent to him any letter since then." The charge that I dictated a letter in his office is aso a misstatement of facts. I have never dictated a letter of any kind to any stenographer employed in Col. Johnson's office, and the only letter which he wrote to Dr. Moton on the subject of the osseous will record, and that letter was then and is now, in our files at Tuskegee Institute "Following the idea that the election of physicians for the Government Hospital was a matter for the National Medical Association to handle, I met during the spring and summer of 1923, a number of officials of the National Medical Association including Dr. M. O. Dunas of Washington, and and George E. Cannon of Jersey City, to announce that these咕嘟咕咕 would accuse me of double dealing and trickery. 3uqupu in 3uqupu 3qqsuod si 11many delicate and unexpected situations I may have made some mistakes, but I honestly tried to serve a righteous cause in an honorable way."

Nashville, Tenn., March 20—Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of this city, President of Southern College of Y. M. C. A., is soon to bring out what is believed to be the most thorough-going and comprehensive book on race relations ever published. The title, "The Negro, From Africa to America," indicates the general scope of the work. The author offers no final solution of the race problem, but emphasizes the conviction that if the two races will only exercise good will and helpfulness toward each other from day to day, the future may be safely trusted to take care of itself. The whole philosophy of the book is simply that of "doing the next thing" in a Christian spirit. Dr. Weatherford has been a pioneer in the study of race relations in the South, having previously written several books on this topic. WINTON Winston, N.

SAYS LEADERS SHOULD CHANGE VIEW OF WHITES Clement Wood Tells Howard Students To Assume A Leadership That Will Foster Better Understanding. Washington, D. C. — Educated Negro leaders should seek to change the stereotype used by a large majority of the better thinking whites as a measure for their acquaintance of the individual Negro. Is the statement made in an address by Mr. Clement Wood, distinguished Novelist, before a large group of students and friends of Howard University in Rancho Memorial Chapel on the University Campus March 19th, Mr. Wood said that the usual type which comes to the mind of many of the better thinking whites when mention is made of the Negro is that type which is labeled in the white American press as the "Black brute." Mr. Wood was invited at Howard University as one of the lecturers in the Free Public Lecture Series. The subject of his address was "The Negro: Survey and Forecast." According to Mr. Wood the mention of the term "Negro" seldom ever suggests the type of Negro like James Weldon Johnson, named Negro poet and Author; Dr. W. G. K. Bidlois, the Harvard Doctor; and Philosophy; Dr. A. L. Lackey, Ph.D. scholar and Oxford graduate; or many others of similar cultural development. It is always the "black brute" type which comes into the minds of the better class of whites when reference to a Negro is made. The result, therefore, is that the better thinking whites are almost wholly ignorant of the fact that there is a large group of Negroes who are on the same cultural plane as themselves.

RAGE TEN BY REV. J. E. BRIGGS Interpreter of Theology and the Englah Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Vn. SUNDAY, MARCH 23RD, 1924 "THE REIGN OF SOLOMON" I King 3-11: II Chron. 1. Golden Text—The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge. Prov. 1:17. T. Solomon's Prayer For Widom. I. Solomon's Prayer For Widom. II. 1-72 "Solomon, the great and glorious king, still bulks large in the memory and imagination of the Jewish people. For long generations after he had finished his course, he was remembered as the most esteemed and perplexed man, the most best sovereign of Israel, who had raised the mallon to the highest pinnacle of glory; and his name was surrounded with a halo which he had done little to deserve; for it is not too much to say that the honors which have been laid at his feet were largely heroic honors, given by a lady whom an amition which I understand does not know in Hebrew history. He commended with every advantage, with almost undisputed possession of the throne, with immense stores of wealth laid up by his father, with ex- ceptional mental abil- ilities, and with the love and high hopes of his people. He continued not very wisely, and he finis- hed most miserably." — Rev. J. G. Greenhough. PETER H. HARRIS was a wise one. He no doubt felt keenly the great responsibility of being a king. He was at the beginning of his reign with his own eyes. "Wisdom and knowledge to judge right the people" "Solomon's prayer exhibits a strong sense of responsibility and a conviction that a high position involves corresponding duties; a consciousness that truth and reason not always easy to distinguish (I King 1:9) and that such gifts are derived from God, who bestows them in answer to prayer."—Dummelow. To: Solomon wisdom was more important and much more to be desired, than riches, wealth, honor long life, or the life of his enemies. Because he made much of himself God gave him wisdom and wealth and honor and conditioned life. Men crave wealth, not thinking wealth in the hands of a fool makes him a prey to knaves. The aspire to power, not remembering that power in the hands of one who is not wise enough for it only makes him a laughing stock. How many a weak brother, who might have lived respectfully in obscurity has become ridiculous by the sudden gift of riches or the principal thing, for if man has that he can acquire and use the others. And Solomon's magnificence, the prosperity of his kingdom, and the fame of his reign all come from his gift of wisdom wisely chosen"—Henry van Dyke. Solomon, as wise as he was supposed to have been, played the foci. He committed evil in the sight of God; he went not fully after the God of his fathers. For political reasons, perhaps; the king married the daughters of the heathen kings and these foreign wives introduced into the kingdom of Israel an idolatrous worship which was degrading and debasing. Solomon, it is said, had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines—women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Edonians, Hittites: "No one is strong enough and wise enough to be safe when consistently in the pursuit of persons, principles, and false religion are more than he is healthy enough to be safe physically in a majoral or fever-induc" atmosphere." III. The Consequences of the Folly of Solomon. Foul of Seven II Kjeld. 2:9-11. "Solomon's fall, happened when hewag old. He was old酵 taught to hewag felt the worth of the friendship of Jehovah. He was rejecting a friendship and a friend whose worth had been simply precieux in the past. It is never too late to mend, the proverb says: "Remember that it is never too late to fall"—Rev. George H. Morrison, D.D. The heart of the Great King was turned away from God, Solomon went after other gods, and walked not in the counsels of Jehovah.

"It is the duty of a nation as well as man to own his dependence on the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yee with assured hopes that genuine importance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."—Lincoln. BRIGGSOGRAMS The social sins—sins against the home, society—are cancers to our civilization. Women and wine proved the undoing of the Bible's strongets men wisest man. Licentiousness, immorality, and wantonness are a stench in the nostrils of God. The only and proper wisdom to have is wisdom, seasoned with the grace of God. THINKS CERTAIN MEN OUGHT LEAVE TOWN Rev.

The pastor will close with a brief sermon on "Initiators Of The Early Church." Special pains will be taken to see that visitors be made to feel at home. "SERVICE" I. Our Social Responsibility The story of the Good Samaritan has so dominated the world that probably few of us realize how it has changed the whole trend of human thought and human conduct. Nothing is more amazing in the world than the new streams of money which were opened in what seemed to be a heartless society. One great writer has said: "The pangan who loved the world and had no hope of future, dreaded illness and avoided invalids. He hardly cared for the members of his family, and in epiphysics his fear led him desert them without scruples. The rich people of the society and individuals, who considered them as useless to the state." In Christ society all was different. Daring the plague of Cathege, in the middle of the third century, the Christians obeyed the exhortations of their bishops, some going themselves to minister to the poor and to the sick, others bringing gifts to them. Basil of Cosaestea founded a hospital, which rose like a new town at the gates of Cosaestea, provided lodges for travelers, rooms for invalids, doctors and nurses, workshops for the poor who were able to work."Dr. P. Horton. The strong is under heavy obligations to help the weak. If we were to help the poor, we must will do all the good we can, in all the ways we can, to all the people we can, just as long as we can. No one is useless in this work who lightens the burden of it for any one else."-Dickens. 2. The World's idea of Greatness. The world is self-seeking. Jesus said: "We know that the rulers of the Gentiles, loot over them, and their great ones exercise authority NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Activities Dependent m Declares d H. Bowling "The view has been widely held that salvation is dependent upon water baptism. And there are certain messages of scripture which seem to imply this beyond question, e. g., 'Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God,' 'Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins.' Squarely facing thus one of the mooted questions which has disturbed the theologians of many centuries, Rev. Richard H. Bowling launched into a discussion last Sunday night of his announced mission, Immersion and Salvation. Continuing, he declared that the belief in the indispensability of water baptism to the salvation of the soul was reflected in the primitive practice of baptism for the dead, baptism of candidates naked, without even a finger, anger, or sound for the hair. "I said the speaker, "we see this belief reflected in infant baptism in attempts to sanctify, the baptismal waters, and in the ablated attempts of archeologists, symbolologists and exegetes of every demonstration to ascertain the primitive mode of administering this rite. "But this view that salvation is dependent on water baptism whatever its mode of administration, is erroneous. The majority of scripture references to salvation places the emphasis on repentence and faith. Both the early apostles and present-day missionaries attempt first to induce repentence and faith, then follows the rite of baptism. If sanctified waters and faith, then follows the and proper administrators and the rite per se brought salvation, then the order would be reversed. No mere form, not even baptism or holy communion, can convey salvation." What then shall we do about baptism? Keep it as it was meant to be, an appropriate confession of inward faith. It is a fitting symbol of a radical change, a death to sin and a resurrection to newness of life "Since baptism is not absolutely indispensable, what about its mode? Shall Baptists give up immersion as not being the universal practice, and as inconvenient and troublesome? As a Christian desiring universal fellowship as among believers, I grant others the right to the dictates of their own consciences. But as an individual and as a Baptist, I should prefer baptism, because I touching this rite and in the light of unbiased exegesis, that the mode of baptism be by immersion. "The very inconvenience and unusualness of this method makes it all the more impressive. Why quibble here when we go to even greater lengths for the pleasure of sea-bathing and fo- fraternal initiations?

BANK ST. BAPTIST Rev. C. M. Long, preached an eloquent and instructive sermon on the subject: Paul Before Nero, from Timothy, 4 chapter, 16, 17 and 18th verses. The sermon deals with the fact that it was Paul's intention to enclose himself with the Christians who were there, thus manifesting the power of that chord of sympathy and love, which bound them wherever they happened to be so closely together. Paul's willingness to forgive those who had deserted him in the hour of his pointed as the attitude all Christians should bear toward all one a- During the absence of the pastor, who has gone to Boston to conduct a series of meetings in one of the prominent churches there, Rev.

Supposing you were married to a woman whom you supposed to be true to you as the herbs of the fields? Supposing you supposed her, loved her, isolated her, lazing your very soul upon her? Supposing that she made you believe that her only desire in life was to satisfy you that she was faithful her promise? Then supposing, Harry's went home at 3 o'clock in the morning and she covered that she was out? What would you do?" "You--you don't mean that Carolin' was away from home at 3 in the morning without your consent, do you?" I gasped. The thought shocked me through and through. "I went home this morning," he said calmly—a calmness that did not extend below the surface, "two hours ahead of my usual time, the clock, or thereabout. Carolin' was gone, neither had the bed been slept in, nor appearance of the room showed that she had dressed hastily. She wore her best gown." "Well maybe she went to the aid of a sick friend," I said, limply. "She's large-hearted, you know. Believes in succoring the halt and lame. Did you telephone to any of your friends—her friends?" "At 3 o'clock in the morning?" he scoffed. "Would it look nice for me to broadcast to the world that my wife was out visiting at 3 o'clock in the morning? What thing, Harry? if the business she was on was legitimate she would have written a note informing me of her whereabouts. Other times, when she would go to church or run over to one of the neighbors, she would leave a note telling me about it. I never compelled her to mind you this mind you allowed her freedom a plenty. I have never attempted to dictate harsh terms to her as some husbands are wont to do. She would leave the notes of her own free will. But this morning she did not." "But you must not judge Carolin' harshly." I expostulated, with some hesitation. "Perhaps she was afraid to remain alone alone and wont over to one of the neighbors." Don't make a fool of yourself, Harry," he said bitterly. "Do you imagine I did not think of these things. I thought of other things, too. Why didn't she phone me of her intentions? But let me get down to brass tracks. I was too surprised to be angry at first, too deeply confident in her to suspect deception, but an hour later, when a taxi stopped in front of the house and she got out with a man, something snapped in my head, and (—" "George?" I cried, leaning to my feet, "What are you saying?" "That she came home with a man," he repeated, cold bloodedly, "I was standing at the front window peering out and saw it all. Had I not been so numb with the shock of it I would have rushed out there and confronted him, but by the time I was able to control my actions the taxi had gone and she was fitting a key in the door. Clever, you see. Getting home-an hour ahead of me. Gods of me! But it is a wrong decision. insane. was better than lava and there was murder in my heart. How long had she been me for a fool? That is the only question that occurred to me. How long had she been going out with this man? You can't realize how I felt at that moment, Harry. No man can appreciate the feelings of an outraged husband unless he has had the experience. It would be useless to try to explain to you the condition of my mind at that moment. I was on the edge of emotional insanity. "It seemed an age before she could get that door unlocked. It was another age before she pushed it open and entered. The house was darkness, and it required a little time for her to find the button. Then she turned on the lights and screamed when she saw me. "And what did you do?" I asked, fearfully.

He was getting a like man acts when he was from a drugged sleep. I may never seen him in that condition before. Yes, it's Harry," I consoled, and I'm here to help you. Tell me about it."

IN MEMORIAM In sad and loving memory of our dear son and brother, George Linwood Tymes, who departed this life March 18, 1923, in Nashville, Tennessee. March days again are here, To us the saddest of the year; For it was on the eighteenth day, God called our George away. We little thought when you left home, That you would neer return; That you would soon sleep in death And leave us her to mourn. When the word came you were deed: Time was too short to say fare- well. To our dear one we loved so well. One year has passed our hearts' still sore. As time goes on we miss you more; Your gentle smile, your loving face No one can fill your vacant place. From a world of sorrow and pain To the land of peace and rest; God has taken you dear George, Where you have found eternal rest.

Montgomery at Mound Bayou, Miss., March 6. removed from the activities of life one of the most forceful, useful and picturesque men who ever came to us from the days of slavery. He was essentially a man of affairs. The building of the Mound Bayou colony was the crowning work of a busy life. Dean Kelly Miller says: "The success of the Sanhedrin meeting in Chicago far surpassed the fondest expectations of its promoters." The working out of the program adopted during the year will be watched with interest, and all of us should render such service as we can in the effort to make it a success. The Filipinos who have been told they are not ready to have their independence granted them do not like it at all and threaten to introduce Mahatma Gandhi's policy of non-cooperation with the Americans in anything as the best way to win what they want, as the East Indians appear to be doing under Gandhi.

Social Differentiation Necessary The Boston Chronicle is waging war on the high society of Boston. It thinks that such society is a useless member and does more harm than good.

It thinks that such society is a useless member and does more harm than good. There are certain people in every community who think that any distinction to build up a high society and make distinction between those who are worthy and those who are not, is a worthless job and can accomplish no good. They appear to believe that "all Negroes look alike," but they don't. There is difference between them, just as among the whites. It has always been that way and always will be, as far as we can see, "as one star differeth from another." In the church the saints are separated from the sinners, and no sensible person believes that the separation is not good for the whole people. In like manner, people separate themselves socially into their own groups, to promote their best interests and to prevent the introduction into their social life and gatherings of persons who may be described as 'undesirables for one reason and another', but who have an equal right to have their own group associations and to draw social lines against others as others draw them against them. In this way like associates with like and gets the most out of life by so doing. Hard feelings do not usually exist between these social groups because each group is satisfied with its own associates. Social differentiation is just as necessary as criminal differentiation. If the best consider themselves no better than the worst, mankind at large will so rate them, and the rating will not be good or helpful. We have been much injured in the race name and reputation because, in the South at least, white law and public opinion, without any reason in fact, insist upon rating our worst and best as being the same, ignoring social distinctions among us; and, in order to make the unjust rule work, all white people are rated in white law and public opinion as being the same, ignoring social distinctions among them and causing much of the race troubles which afflict the Southern States. In order to get the most out of living, we must have social grouping which invites the good and desirable and repels the bad and undesirable members of the race. Editorial Page of "Outrageous' "An Outrageous proceeding," is hereby Senator Ransdall, of Louisiana, characterizes the confirmation by the state of Walter H. Cohen as compulsory customs for the district of H. Deans. Moreover it is "out of hand with representative government"lares the Senator, because "Could not be elected to the leastistant office in his own state." It is no fault of Mr. Cohen, that could not be elected to "the leastistant office in his own state." If representative government prevails Louisiana Mr. Ransdall could not be elected to the United States Senate Mr. Cohen or some one of political faith would be holding Ransdall's exalted position. But representative government does not pro-Louisiana, therefore the appointment confirmation of Mr. Cohen is allow to representative government a rebuke to government by fraternization, disfranchisement or order in the name of political expiry. "An Outrageous proceeding." is the way Senator Ransdall, of Louisiana characterizes the confirmation by the Senate of Walter H. Cohen as comptroller of customs for the district of New Orleans. Moreover it is "out of harmony with representative government" declares the Senator, because "Cohen could not be elected to the least important office in his own state." It is no fault of Mr. Cohen, that he could not be elected to "the least important office in his own state." If truly representative government prevailed in Louisiana Mr. Ransdall could not be elected to the United States Senate. Either Mr. Cohen or some one of his political faith would be holding Mr. Ransdall's exalted position. But representative government does not prevail in Louisiana, therefore the appointment and confirmation of Mr. Cohen is not a blow to representative government, but a rebuke to government by fraud, intimidation, disfranchisement and murder in the name of political expediency. Front Page Position One of the delicate problems we which the editorial staffs of newspaper have to deal is the contributor who stands in his piece with the boldest that it be placed on the front page. Their tribe seems to be incarcerated, much to the annoyance and embarrassment of editors. Every member of the editorial staff a newspaper is proud of his shirt may not be the biggest paper in the world, but to him it is the best. It has his best energies and thoughts making it an orthodox newspaper, and arranged in the most progressive and orthodox fashion, and when the contributor comes in with the request that his article be put on the front page editor is embarrassed. Sometimes is justly indignant. Nobody knows well as the editor himself what appropriate for the front page. He leaves to himself the sole right to just what should go in his paper and the notion its news value and other importance entitle it to. That is why the contributor who asks for front position usually gets scant consideration from the editor. Practically all of the worth of newspapers have adopted the met departmentalizing the news. The annual run of financial news goes in to itself. Local events, social openings, fraternal activities, rela- tions, sports, theatrical and editorial groups. The front page is usually saved for the big breaks in the new happenings of general interest to concern everybody everywhere. The progressive publisher understands to make every page in his newspaper vitally interesting. He does not make up a good front page to give it at that. He makes the whichevictorative that every page, to the last holds some interest for the rest. Therefore to which ever group distributor's article belongs it will be designed by the editors and the anxious distributor may be sure it will be read. But hardly a day passes in a newspaper office that some one does not teach an editor with the impolite best that his article be placed on the front page. Some times it is merely a matter of personal interest to the writer. Sometimes it is appropriate for religious or social column. Sometimes it should go in the obituary and very often it goes into the paper basket.

He reserves to himself the sole right to judge what should go in his paper and the position its news value and other relative importance entitle it to. That is why the contributor who asks for front page position usually gets scant consideration from the editor. Practically all of the worth while newspapers have adopted the method of departmentalizing the news. The ordinary run of financial news goes in a page to itself. Local events, society happenings, fraternal activities, religious, sports, theatrical and editorial are grouped. The front page is usually reserved for the big breaks in the news, the happenings of general interest that concern everybody everywhere. The progressive publisher undertakes to make every page in his newspaper vitally interesting. He does not just make up a good front page and leave it at that. He makes the whole so attractive that every page, to the very last holds some interest for the readers. Therefore to which ever group the contributor's article belongs it will be assigned by the editors and the anxious contributor may be sure it will be read. But hardly a day passes in a newspaper office that some one does not approach an editor with the impolite request that his article be placed on the front page. Some times it is merely a matter of personal interest to the writer. Sometimes it is appropriate for the religious or social column. Sometimes it should go in the obituary column and very often it goes into the waste paper basket.

To have the President look at the matter in this light, and say so in plain terms, is to invite the thoughtful people of the Nation to do so and to extend the like praise and encouragement to of the sources of National and International wealth in such a way as to control them, or have a positive voice in their control. Now, the white Christians have, it appears, shifted their persecution of the Jew to persecution of the Negro, and it is the business of the Negro to find a way to overcome his enemies as the Jew has. Will he do it? Of course. He is a marked people, and his enemies cannot kill him nor permanently shut him out. Briefs and Spices The New York World, which claims to be a good friend to the Negro, and should be as it is a Jew, has raised a storm where there was none, over the new play by Eugene O'Neill, called, "All God's Chillun Got Wings," because the leading characters in it are a black man and a white woman, man and wife, and the wife has to kiss the hand of the husband, and all that, as if the thing were new on the stage or in actual life. Such a clamor has been made about producing the play that announcement has been made that it will not be produced until April, perhaps. By S. J. C. The French frame like the German mark is gradually slipping out of the rank of standard money. Sherman was right. The Teapot Dome investigation produced some very interesting side lights on the acts of high fliers and Falls but it has grown monotonous. Let's hope it ends with a "feu de joie." Without going into details, Gen. Butler's job of reforming Philadelphia momentarily developed that the city of brotherly love was desirous of reforming the General. Our interpretation of a woman's idea of a prize husband is one won in competition that can be kept under her thumb ready for exhibition at all times. The World's contention that intermarriage is unlawful in many states and that it is not safe to fly in the face of public opinion in such matters, has been met with the argument that art should not be fettered and that mixing of the races in the drama is much older than Shakespeare's "Othello" and would undermine Christianity itself, which is based on the spiritual fatherhood of the Christians in Abraham; which being interpreted is Father Abram of Ham of Arabia. A nineteen pound baby was born to a New Jersey couple recently. At the time of going to press, no report had been made charging the stork with delivering an underweight package. The girl psychic who has amazed the New York police with her revelations is no doubt a wonder. But in the excitement one must not lose sight of the fact that the metropolitan city is a hick burg. A high government official! charges Washington, D. C., with being the "wettest" city in the United States. In the presence of a crude oil atmosphere one surmises that such a sweeping statement was made in order to make the statement blank was an easier subject to tackle. It has also been suggested that a white Negro lady could have been selected for the part, as we have white Negro ladies a plenty, instead of a white lady, while responsibility for the existence of the white Negro ladies is entirely overlooked. They did not beget themselves white; they had to be begotten. By whom? By these who howl most persistently and loudly about mixing of the races on and off the stage. It is a queer conditions of affairs, and we have to believe that it will work itself out, as the Jewish question of race and standing has worked itself out, to the satisfaction of the Negro if not to those who spend so much time attending to his business as to neglect their own. Whether the practise indulged by statesmen, a little while back, of keeping their ears to the ground becomes obsolete depends largely on whether the rural voters establish equi-distant broadcasting stations. The alternative then will be the radio receiver, but everything has its limitations. THE FOLK SONG The folk song speaks in words of comfort to the throng. It corrals discontent and makes it like the song; It fills us with optimism, as it were. That drives us laughingly without a stir. We join the cheerers when the bands begin to play. Because some note strikes deep that makes us gay; We sing along with those who're singing off the key. Our only thought is, we're anxious as can be. It doesn't count for much at first, but pretty soon. The idea grows and everybody gets the tune; Our wonder then is, what the song is all about. The ears have heard it, we are yet in doubt. It matters little what it costs we're for the cause. That branches out and gets the most applause. The moral here is good for you and me. "Don't knock nor laugh at fellows singing off the key." President Coolidge and Our Industrial Opportunity It is worth a very great deal to our race group to know that the President of the United States, the President of our political party, is not unmindful of us and not backward on occasions in letting us and the world know that he has our interest at heart. Unfortunately for us and the country that was not the case in the Administrations of President Taft, President Wilson nor President Harding. We were given to understand in one way and another by those three Presidents that they wished devoutly that we did not have them on our hands, and showed a degree of irritation whenever they had to acknowledge that it was so. This was offensively the case with President Harding. Y.W.C.A. Dr. Sarah Brown spoke to the Saturday at the Abraham Lincoln Tidewater Principals Association School. Her address was well taken and she was assured of the co-operation of all the principals in the work of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Hulcs, Miss Butler and Mrs. Dungee accompanied her. Prof. Dungee assisted by the teachers and Partons' League served luncheon. This week Dr. Brown spoke at the various schools in the city. She addressed the home girls at the Branch, the girl's Reserves at the Center. The World Fellowship meeting Wednesday night was also favored with her presence. Thursday she spoke at Prof. Ridickd's school in Portsmouth. Friday she left for Newport News and Saturday for Richmond. All who have heard her feel that her visit has been one of great benefit. And if her directions are followed we shall be assured of not only good health but a happy and prosperous life. The membership and educational Committees were well attended last Thursday. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. An interesting program will be rendered at the Vesper services Sunday. Please come all. Watch for the announcement of the basketball game in next issue. Meet Metcalf, the lady evangelist, is in the city for a while. She is now residing at the Y. W. C. A., 416 Cumberland St. President Coolidge has made it very plain to us that he is interested in us as a party group and as a social and industrial force in the Nation, and that is worth much to us, because, say what you will, the President sets the fashion in these matters. He has visited our sick, sent flowers and condolence to our dead and honored our living with appointments at home and abroad, and he has just begun to get busy. Given time and we believe he will measure up to what we have a just right to expect of any Puritan from New England in the White House. President Coolidge's letter to the National Negro Press Association, at Nashville, reproduced in The Journal and Guide of March 1, was significant in that he recognizes the fact that our newspapers stand for a "broad and liberal view of the problems in which they are especially concerned." and that it is "a sign of our times that gives much occasion for reassurance." And then he added this significant statement: "The colored people, now coming into large recognition for their great place in the industrial structure of the Nation, are already benefitting; and we may be sure that in the evolution of events they will continue their progress." This is a splendid tribute to our newspapers as well as to the race which is striving to make a place in the industrialism of the Nation, in the new and better opportunity afforded them Subscribers Paid Postage On Their Papers In 1834 Residents of Norfolk born some years prior to 1834 and living today probably remember when Thomas W. Keeling was postmaster of Norfolk. He held that position here in 1834, according to information revealed in the batch of ante bellum receipts recently loaned to the Journal and Guide. On January 1, 1834 Postmaster Keeling issued to one Jonathan Hunter receipt for postage on papers Saturday, March 22, 1924 ORGANIZED ENGLISH CONJUNCTIONS Definition.—A conjunction is a word that connects only. Thus, in baseball "and" football are invigorating sports, "and" simply connects the two words football and baseball. All other connectives have other constructions besides. In I shot an arrow into "air" the air, the preposition "into" governs its object "air" besides connecting it to the verb "shot." In they "that" sow in tears shall reap in joy, the relative pronoun "that" represents the antecedent "they y." governs the predicate verb "sow," and connects the modifying clause that sow in tears with the modified antecedent "they." In Come "where the lilies bloom, the conjunctive adverb "where" modifies the verb "bloom" besides connecting the modifying clause "where the lilies bloom" with the modified verb "come."

I expected to be disappointed in this book because it was her- habled as unemotional , scientific, and I remembered the youth Frank Tannenbaum, leading the un- employed in pre-war days in the rich churches in New York demanding that the exponents of Christ- tianity feed them and clothe them. There was plenty of emotion in that act; but I admit, the book finished that this restrained judicious student has made a strong case. He has shown and inter- preted a picture that has in it much that is new, and all that is unforgettable. Five Chapters The book has five chapters, the two seemed to me freshest in conception, those on the factory workers, entitled "The South Buries its Anglo-Saxons," and the study of tenancy, "The Single Crop." In telling of the factory we do not hear of child labor or long hours but we get to the root of the system, the control of the worker thru the company's ownership of his home. These homes are rented at a very low figure, the company loses on them so there can be no competition, but in return for a low rent the workers gives up all initiative. His children may not go away to work. If they do, he and his family will be dispossessed. There is no democracy. No town meeting, no voting, or if a vote is cast it must be as the owner dictates. These mill-hands give the South nothing, no builders no engineers, no men of adventure, even no politicians. And if you argue with the mill owner and say that the young people should be allowed to leave he answers that he has preserved family life. The Single Crop The Single Crop The chapter on "The Single Crop" shows the dangerous growth of tenancy, and stresses the most important fact that the tenant is a migrant. "He is a wandered and a homeless one. It is estimated that three hundred thousand farm tenants move every year in the United States. In some instances the tenant moves every six months." This means that there is no local improvement. Why plant a garden if you expect to move next fall, or keep pigs and hens, or whitewash your house, or support the school, or bother much about the church? To give a personal impression, I have travelled much and the Southern cotton belt is to me the most desolate inhabited region I have yet seen. What Tannenbaum says of the roving quality of the tenant with Hansen's Norwegian tale of "The Growth of the Soil." A man must own the land to work it with his whole heart. Negro Land Owners It is encouraging to read that "In the last fifty years while the white farmer has been retraining to tenancy the Negro has, in large numbers, become a land owner. There are more white than Negro tenants in eleven Southern states." There is a chapter on the Ku Klux, and one on Southern prisoners that is too terrible to be believable. Mr. Tannenbaum ends by saying of the Negro problem in the South that it has no solution. He advises us to give up thinking that it can be solved and do the first possible wise thing at hand. His own suggestions are the organizing of the mill-hands in unions, the encouragement of foreign immigration, and the continual migration of the Negro to the North. He would like to see the South have more scapegoats. It would give the Negro a needed rest. covering the period from January so July for $1.02.

Gillis, writing in a recent issue of the Columbia, a Catholic paper published by the Knights of Columbus for "Work for Racial Justice," Says in part: "Prejudice is, of course, the greatest obstacle to the work of all, those engaged in the Negro mission field. If we stop to analyse our prejudice for the Negro we must admit that it certainly cannot be reconciled with the teachings of Catholicity. In spite of the civil-rights bills that have been placed on the statute books for several Northern states the Negro is still insulted and humiliated by practically all public hotels, restaurants and theatres. It is almost impossible for the colored man or woman to get service in most of our hotels and restaurants Why? The chief argument of those opposed to treating the Negro as a human being is that to do so will encourage miscegenation. A ridiculous and false presumption from the writer's point of view. Catholics and Jews not only eat together in public places, but they intermingle socially as well. Mixed marriages between persons of those beliefs are very rare. And most assuredly the distinguishing mark of color would be a stronger deterrent to intermarriage between white and black than is that of religion between the Catholic and the Hebrew. America is the only country in the world that draws the color line. The minute a black American leaves his own country, the land that he fought for and died for, he is treated as a human being. Whereas, we Americans not only stand for this condition, but actually demand ostracism of the colored. We demand that they pay a firstclass railway fare for third-class service; that they pay their full proportion of taxes and still be deprived of representation by franchise in spite of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. We demand that the public school monies in some states be spent in the proportion of two dollars for a colored child and twenty to twenty-five dollars for a white child. Existing Conditions Points to Chaos "The colored woman leaves our Northern university, college or high school filled with hope and ambition. But she has hardly left when she discovers that her white chums of college days no longer recognizes her. She learns that the white world does not credit her merit and refuses even to consider it. But worst of all, it gradually dawns upon her that there is an almost universal belief among white men that all colored women are "easy." Then she goes into a mental state of hatred for the entire white race and in this state her children will be born. And we whites calmly take it for granted that those children will gladly shed their blood for us if we ever get into serious trouble. "The loyalty of the colored American cannot be questioned today. But the oppressed have always rebelled sooner or later, and history has always repeated itself. The Negro is not only developing highly intelligent leaders of his own race, he is being organized as well. We are herding his people together like sheep, forcing segregated upon him, and we do not seem to see that this will give him the better opportunity to concentrate the full force of his organized power to justly oppose the worst oppression that has ever been inflicted upon a race. Segregation is a breeder of hate and race riots. This warning is absolutely not a far-fetched statement of conditions. Almost all the literature that the colored person writes teens with the intensity of his feeling against the white oppression. "What are we doing? Where will it end? Only the dullest fool would think that such conditions can go on forever, that the colored ```markdown ``` Health, Sociology, Econom Broadened by Old School of Health, Howard University, ington...

PRESENTATION ON VITAMINS In a recent Radio broadcast leased through some thirty operating stations, Surgeon Gunnings of the United Public Health Service gives interesting information on the development and status of our ledge of this important content of our food. "We have, in fact, says Dr. Cummings, "that food should be composed of hydrates (starchs) and sugars and proteins. We have learned that there had to be philod in proper quantities, have learned to measure the total energy of our food in terms of calories—wood familiar and verbally." More recently, there has been discovered the fact that protein differs greatly in nutrition, and not only must the lodge its proper quantity of protein every day, but it is quite fast as to the kinds of protein it demands. The $n$ came the study of $z$ mins, but the advenience of these dies has not changed our previous known basic principles. The knowledge has however supplemented our previous information and added $n$ additional factors great significance. Study of Vitamins Our first suspicion of the existence of such substance as vitamins was derived from the study of a disease which is particular prevalent and of great importance in the East, known as berlin. It occurs among people who largely on a diet of rice and dietary origin had been suspected for some years. By a series studies and a number of feeding experiments carried various observers at different our knowledge of vitamins been built up. In addition to dies on beri-beri, observations of experiments were made in studying such diseases as rickets, scurvy and melagra. As a result of these studies, was found that there do exist tain, unidentified accessory diet factors which are absolutely essential for nutrition and growth. These are called vitamins. They resemble one another at least one particular, namely, they to be very potent in very small amounts. So far, they have the chemical separation in pure tain and they cannot be identified cent by physiological effects. Vitamins Identified Vitamins Identified Up to the present time the are known four of these substances, which are not named, but lettered, being called vitamins B, C, and D: for example care is believed to be due to the of vitamins C, which is found bundantly in fresh fruit and fresh uncooked vegetable many kinds. Richness is believed to be due in part to lack of vitamins A, in which cod liver oil is especially rich. Bert is thought to be due to of vitamin B and so on through out the list. Not enough is hard to make very definite statements as to their exact action and effect, but the fact that such constances do exist and that they are absolutely necessary to the well-being can no longer be decided. Their function is popular can perhaps best be understood a mechanical analogy which has been formulated by some writer, in which he compare body and its foods to a gas engine and its motor. The organic food stuffs, such as fats, oils and starches correspond to the for the engine; the proteins some of the mineral matters the materials of which the man is made; other mineral matters the lubricant and the vitamin the ignition spark, whose energy is insignificant but which the engine cannot run. "Let me repeat," said Sarg General. Cumming, "that vital studies have not destroyed our ideas about the selection of our foods but have merely given us additional knowledge." Afford More Knowledge Vitamins are undoubtedly essential in our diet and without the nutti-fibre and growth cannot be maintained. They are, however, widespread in nature, and an abundance of them will be for in every well-balanced ration. Let me emphasize this fact: we should obtain our vitamins from our food supplies and from drug stores or from noter vendors; we need select only proper foods to eat and we get an abundant supply of the precious substances. man can doilely swallow our results, humiliations and brutality and then in time of trouble he to the assistance of the white man who despies him. In all these there is no record of any such city among human beings. Ocasians particularly have fought oppression, and we must not forget that the colored population of America today is in a very low proportion: of Caucasian hardly more than 50 per cent of the total Negro population is血沸ed Negro.
