When neighbors awakened the family, Percy Stovall knocked out a window and stepped onto the porch roof so his wife could hand the smaller children out to him. Before Mrs. Stovall could reach the window with the youngest child the flames swept into the room and blinded her so she could not find her way. As Stovall attempted to enter the room to aid in the rescue of the children, the porch gave way throwing him to the ground. UNDERTAKER C. N. ONES DEAD AFTER A LONG ILLNESS Mr. Caulbert A.

PULLMAN PORTER OFF TO LECTURE TO WHITE PUPILS John Baptist Ford Talks To Transportation Class At Dartmouth College On Problems of Travel. EVENT UNPRECEDENTED IN COUNTRY'S HISTORY New York, N. Y., March 25—John Baptist Ford, Negro porter on the Winsted Express, leaves this morning for Hanover, N. H., to preach the gospel of the Pullman porter to the transportation class at Dartmouth College tomorrow morning. The invitation to lecture at the school came from Professor Malcolm Keir of the Department of Economics after he had talked with Ford early in February when he was riding in the parlor car of which Ford was in charge. Upon his arrival at Hanover this evening Ford will go to the College Inn, where the college entertains all of its official guests, and where arrangements have been made for him. Besides receiving his railroad fare and all expenses, the usual lecturer's fee will be presented to him for his talk on "The Life of a Pullman Porter." WILL TELL EXPERIENCE "I will tell them of my experiences in railroading." Ford said yesterday at his home, 760 East 221st Street. "Few people realize that the safest place they can be is on a railroad train. A person is in far less danger than when he is walking on the streets in New York or any other place. Every precaution is taken to prevent any sort of accident and I am going to tell the boys at Dartmouth about the excellence of our railroads and the efficiency of the people who run the trains." Ford first came to the attention of the officials of the New York, New Haven & Hartford, on which he has been working for twelve years, when he prevented a serious wreck on an express train bound from New York to Springfield four years ago. As the train was leaving a Connecticut station, Ford noticed a peculiar shaking of his car and looking out of the window, he saw that the baggage car was off the track. On one side of the train there was a fifteen-foot embankment and a Boston express train was expected in ten minutes on the other track. Ford pulled a brake which brought the train to an abrupt standstill. He received commendations and a reward from the railroad. Until Ford was 17, he could neither read nor write. Then he entered Benedict College at Columbia, S. C., and worked his way through the primary and high school departments in four years. — N. J. Times.

FOUR SAVED BY CAP'N PRUDEN AND HIS CREW Veteran Life Saver and Companions Rescued From Death In Dreadful Storm By Gallant Race Men. BOAT OVERTURNED BUT THEY NEVER GAVE UP Elizabeth City, N. C., Mar. 25—How Capt. Ed Pruden colored, in command of the only Negro-manned Coast Guard stationed in America, effected with his crew a remarkable rescue of four white fishermen from what seemed to be almost certain death in one of the most dreadful storms that ever swept the Pamlico Sound on the Carolina coast, is recited in a graphic story by D. Victor Meekins in The Independent for March 21. It is the story of unfarging energy, dauntless heroism, and devotion to duty of a band of Negro men, honored, unsung, and expecting no recognition for their services—the crew of Pea Island Station, the only Negro Coast Guard Station in the world. The story might never have gone abroad, but it is told by a grateful man, a brave sailor who recognizes true loyalty whether in a white breast or black That man is Capt. L. Bannister Midgut of Manteo, the most noted veteran of the Seventh Coast Guard District today; a man past his three-score and ten, but who in his day weathered more than 40 years in the rigorous service of one of the most exacting stations on the coast, and who, before the advent of the radio and motorboat, assisted in the rescue of nearly a thousand and shipwrecked persons on Hatteras Island. WORST EXPERIENCE IN SEVENTY YEARS Capt. Midgett tells the story of his experience in Pamlico Sound last week, when on Monday night and Tuesday, he faced death in a small boat from which himself and a nephew were fishing. In that dread gale, which swept the waters with a velocity of 60 miles an hour or more, angry breakers measuring eight feet from trough to crest rushed down the shallow reaches of Pamlico and threatened to fling to bits the little vessel to which the two men clung. Capt. Midgett tells of how he watched two other companions cling to a platform, unable to reach the boat that held himself and his nephew; and of how the coast guards, laboring to reach them, battled for hours against a madly rushing tide. A dreadful, fearful tide which covered Pea Island neck deep and swept struggling horses, and herds of helpless cattle, hogs and sheep across the beach into the hungry ocean. He declares his experience to be the worst in his 70 years of life on the sea; and that only in return for his unbound faith in divine providence and by the mercy of God were the lives of himself and his companions spared, at the risk of the lives of the crew of Pea Island Station. Here is Capt. Midgett's story: VETERAN'S STORY "Seventy-two years old, and I have sailed up and down the sounds of Pamlico, Allemarle, Currituck and Core in all kinds of weather since I was a mere boy. I spent 40 years in the old life saving service and the present Coast Guard, and have seen times on sea and land as tough as any man. I have been blessed with courage and judgment, and never lost my head in times of trouble, but in all my experience, this last Monday night and Tuesday of March 10 and 11 was the worst time I have ever experienced. "From Monday night at 1:30 until Tuesday afternoon, it was blowing a hurricane. When the storm arose on Monday, my nephew, Willie Middgett and I, were fishing in three and a half, feet of water, Pastors Protest School Dances New Orleans, La., Mar. 28—Representing a constituency of thirty thousand members, 100 ministers of the Inter-Denominal Alliance of New Orleans entered a protest against dancing in the Negro schools in this city which protest will be taken to the school board. It was charged that not only children were called to the schools for night dancing, even during the day, books were laid aside for dances. McDonough No. 35, high school was brought in for severe criticism. As yet no protest has been made by the white ministers against dances in the schools attended by white pupils. about two and a half miles from land. We broke anchor, and immediately, the wind blew a hurricane, and the water increased to nine or ten feet. We got to the lee side of a fish house built out in the sound and lay moored there. "Our boat having a cabin on it, we use it for camp. That night we slept in the boat, and the sound was so rough, I tossed from my berth, and in the floor three times. There were two other men. (Lorenzo Midgett and A. W. Price). camping in the fishhouse on the platform to which we were moored. Two or three tons of net weights on the platform, held that down and was all that kept it from being swept away by the seas which broke over it, and even the root of the house. "On being thrown out of my bunk the third time, I put on my clothes and lighted my pipe. It was then about four o'clock in the morning, and the boat had been riding hard with her bow under at times. At daylight we made a move to get away. The winds seemed to be coming from every direction, bringing snow and rain. The sea was so rough that our efforts to get the two other men from the platform were useless, as the seven horsepower engine would not hold her head up to the wind. There was nothing to do but to try to seed for land, and I shouted to the boys if we were able to make it, I would report them to the nearest coast guard station. "By the mercy of God, and our judgment we made Pea Isl- and Creek and dropped anchor in seven and a half feet of water where there is ordinarily two feet. Great seas were raging across the creek, marsh and beach, and our position was dangerous as we might be dashed to death any time, and drenched to the skin as we were, we were very miserable. CAPT. PRUDEN TO RESCUE CAPT. PRUDEN TO RESCUE "The crew of Pea Island Station saw us. Capt. Ed. Pruden and six men set out to our assistance in a self bailing centerboard surfboard with a mast and gaff sail. The wind was howling at such a pitch that we could hardly hear our own voices. The boat with sail set and men laboring at the oars could barely make headway, and at times lost the distance it had gained. We were only about a mile from the station, and I watched them making slow progress. When they had gone about a half mile, the boat suddenly disappeared behind the seas, and we saw that it had cappized. Capt. Edward Pruden was on the job, and had his six men on the windward when the boat cappized. Soaked to the skin, stiff with cold and clumsy as they must have been those Negroes with their lives at stake managed to catch the right lines, threw the boat back on its bottom, and made away on another tack. "Late in the afternoon, Capt Pruden reached us, and as he rounded up, I asked how his biometer stood. He said 28.60, and the tide was rising all the while. "Soon afterwards, we were made comfortable in the station, while the Negroes tried to get the other two men out in the sound. Unable to do this with their small boat, Capt. Pruden and some of his men at 1:30 in the afternoon went to Oregon Inlet Station for help From Capt. Joe Emory, he got asistance in the way of two men (Mavin E Gray and J. F. Midget), and a boat with power enough to stem the tide and sea to the fish house seven miles south west of the station. No LIVES LOST "I took command of the station in the absence of Capt. Pruden and his men. They got back to the (Continued on Page Six) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR CAPT.

N. & I. l. will be represented. Blind Man Uses Whistle Stops Traffic Pine Bluff, Ark., Mar. 28 (P. N. S.)—W. G. Campbell, who has been blind for a number of years, a familiar character in this city and knows the streets of Pine Bluff much better than most of the old residents who have their eyesight, purchased a police officer's traffic whistle, and now when he wishes to cross a street on which the traffic is heavy, he sounds a shrill blast, steps boldly from the curb, holds up one hand majestically in the approved "cop" fashion and safely strides across the street. Campbell told officials that he had been wooying for some time about how to insure his safety since the ever increasing auto traffic has created a serious obstacle and lately has made his path exceedingly dangerous. Finally it occurred to Campbell that a police whistle would be just the thing he needed, and he accordingly went to city officials with his plan. The Associated Undertakers of New York recently voted to disguise their hearses as ordinary limousines. "Enough gloom prevails in the world without sombre hearses passing through the streets to remind the people of death," was the opinion expressed by their spokesman. 7.

Ricks The Cleaner Points Way To Push A Small Business A cleaning and pressing establishment approaching the best standards in equipment, methods and service is that of Ricks The Cleaner at 368 Queen street. Here Mr. Ricks has established a most attractive cleaning and pressing emporium which on his part evidences a genuine appreciation of the patronage he receives. He enjoys a splendid trade which demonstrates the truth that no business is too commonplace to be made attractive and profitable when the right person conducts it. His place occupies the entire first floor of quite a spacious building and is fitted up in a manner that convinces the customer that it is above the ordinary. A Ford touring which Mr. Ricks has converted into a delivery car skirts thru the city daily picking up and delivering clothes to and from his trade, and from the movements of this fliver it is evident that business is on the go with Ricks The Cleaner. His workmen are experienced and apparel for both men and women is cleaned, pressed, dyed, repaired or altered at his place. Mme. Florence-Cole Talbert Thrills Music Patrons A large and representative audience of music patrons had the pleasure of listening to what may be characterized without exaggeration a rare treat of music at the First Baptist Church Wednesday night when Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, talented Coloratura, soprano gave a most delightful recital, Mrs. Lone Monroe Trice, also a pinnist of unusual ability, accompanied Mrs. Talbert. The artist's program consisted of classical works of such authors as Bishop, Novello, Sibelius, Born Schubert, Eckert, Debussy, Palmere, Bemberg, Dunn, Farley, Burleigh, concluding with two spirituals, Are You Ready?, by Hilbert Stewart and "Heaven, Heaven." by Burleigh. Music critics of standard reputations rate Mrs. Talbert as being the equal of any soprano soloist before the public in these times, and those among the audience Wednesday night possessing the ability to criticize classical music were unanimous in their common that she confirmed the rating given her. A VOICE OF WIDE RANGE Possessing a voice of wide range which at times soared to thrilling heights and then descended to a gracious melody. Mrs. Talbort swayed her audience and elicited enchore after enchore to which she pleasantly responded. Her manner is appealing without apparent affectation, her expression a devout portrayal of depth of sentiment and enunciation quite distinct. With perfect ease her voice soars and descends, her contour never betraying the least effort, nor her melody faltering. Altho, evidently at her best in singing the classics, her reversion to spirituals is natural and her singing of them entrancing. Mrs. Ione Monroe Trice, has accompanied, also rendered two, delightful solos and responded to one enchore.

While the experience was dreadful and we suffered considerable hardship no one was lost and all are recovered. "I wish to thank Capt. Pruden and men for their brave work and for their kind treatment of the box and myself. They seemed to me like the old life savers of days long gone by. I say from all my experience, that Capt. Pruden and crew as Keeper and Surfmen deserve all credit. They are the right men in the right place." IN COAST GUARD NINE YEARS Capt. Pruden enlisted in the Coast Guard nine years ago. He made his way up rapidly in the station in 1981, when he was in charge. Since the suc- cessive retirement of several of his men, his station has never be- fully commissioned, but has been supplied with substitutes, perhaps because it is the only Negro station in America. Pruden himself altho in command has never re- ceived his warrant as a boatswain having been overlooked by the De- partment to date. His men are B. Wesley, M. H. Meekins, Noah P. Meekins, five years; Lonnie C. Gray, five years; Clarence Piford, temporary surf- man; and William Simmons and John Piford, substitutes.

WASHINGTON Inside Out A Weekly Panorama of Events In The National Capitol By PETER KEEGAN Special Correspondent to the Norfolk Journal and Guide HARDLY ANYONE is taking seriously the statements that certain Senators are in danger of being assassinated because of their attacks upon public officials. The charge was made openly by Senator Tom Hellin of Alabama, who intimated that the bishop was verbally hit. Greene, of Vermont, was very intently intended for him. Greene was supposed to have been shot during a pistol battle between bootleggers and federal agents. WILLIAM S. KENYON, former Senator and now a federal judge, refused to become secretary of the Navy in the Coolidge Cabinet because he is amining higher. Kenyon would like to be Attorney General, and he also has an eye on the Presidency. It is possible that Coolidge would offer him the Attorney-Generalship, but to that, there would be considerable opposition, as Kenyon would go into office with the idea of making the fur fly, and that might not be so pleasant to some of the gentlemen on the inside. THE OIL PROBE is about finished. Senator Walsh and those associated with him in the investigation concluded that they accomplished all that they can, in view of the suits in California and Wyoming to cancel the Sinclair and Doheny lenses, so they will retire to the background while the Daughtry and Mellon probes occupy the spotlight.

BURKE NORFOLK, VI Glimpsed Along the Way Glimpsed Along the Way WHO ARE THEY bike around the BUILT FOR? residence sections of the city and note the large number of new tenement houses that are being erected for colored tenants, some of the cause me to wonder if their builders have any sense of deceyness and comfort at all. Really I passed a whole row of new brick tenements this week whose front door knobs actually threatened to form obstructions to the sidewalk. A person living in one of these houses will find it impossible to put their head out of the first floor front window if a crowd should be passing, and to sit on the front steps will certainly be taking the risk of having his feet mashed by pedes- friends. A landlord who is too impurecious to place a 4 foot porch on a tenement house, when there is space to provide one, doesn't care a "snap," about the health and lives of his prospective tenants, and people who persist, in renting such houses as described. There, when they can do otherwise, don't care anymore for their health and the health of their children than does the landlord. HATS OFF TO Hats off, to the ATTACKS managers of the Attucks Theatre.

That Caroline Essex was the partner of George in his fight for success. That she was a glided jacket, with a jewel for a heart. That George and Carolin were the envy of the town until—until Carolin, the essence of goodness, failed to return home before George one morning; fall to return home and refused to tell where she had been, or who was the man who had returned with her and then had stolen away.

When I looked into the brown beauty of her face, that face which that kissed and caressed so often in misfuel moments, I knew I could not destroy her. Her spell—the unbreakable spell of brown skin witchery—was upon me. But hypnotized as I was, I could not rid myself of the maddening that that she had just left the presence of goodnight kiss was still fresh upon her lips. I so seized her in my arms, crushed her to me, and demanded to know where she had been. The words that she poured into my cars were unintelligible but I know that she was pleading to believe in her. Believe in her? After what I had seen I demanded to know where she had been. She would not tell me. Neither would she tell me that She would not answer a single question. She just begged, I made her admit that she had intended to arrive home ahead of me so that I would not know that she had been out; but, farther that that she would not go. For an hour I labored with her. I threatened; I cursed; I twisted her arms till the bones cracked; I ripped her clothing to shreds; I tore at her hair till it came down—long, black glossy hair that reached far below her waist; I shook her till her teeth rattled and her eyes rolled back in her head, but all she would do was to weep and plead for mercy. She would not tell anything about that man, or the place where she had been." I was too astounded for words All that I could do was to sit there and gape, open mouthed, at my friend. "You will probably hold me ir contempt for my rough treatment of her," he said, after a pause "but you have never faced a like situation. Harry. The world should not condemn me for what I did. The man does not live who can stand calmly aside and see the woman of his bosom drift away from him. Coming to the conclusion that she would rather die than reveal the identity of her lover. I madly decided to use rougher tactics. I gave her one more chance to make good, and when she refused in that crazy fashion of hers, I drove my right fist against her lips—lips that I had kissed so often. With a sort of sob she sank to the floor. But she did not lose consciousness. Still on the floor she clutched at my legs, crying in the most horrible fashion imaginable, and managed in some way to gain her feet, her hands never leaving my body. Once on her feet she elapsed her arms around my neck and kissed me,—the blood from her bruised lips smearing my face. I struck at her again blindly, and once more she fell, a broken sobbing thing at my feet. I do not know how the next half hour passed. I know, enough that she pleaded with me to believe in her. I know that she sobbed as --- during the past two weeks have given us the real thing. The appearance here of that Original Lafayette Players was a refreshing change from the films and "Liza" was a treat. The public will feel indebted to this playhouse for the high class entertainment it has given it the opportunity of enjoying. No doubt the players in "Liza" get a good impression of Norfolk patrons, as they certainly played to crowded houses. Keep it up Norfolk and we will be assured of drawing more Broadway lights to Church street. HELP COMES At last some one at LAST in Norfolk with a profound sense of right and Justice has organized a Married Men's Protective Association. No doubt this will grow to be one of the most popular fraternal organizations in existence, for if there is any class of people on earth that needs protection, it is the poor married men. From what I have been able to learn of the organization it bears all the earmarks of a very beneficial order. Substantial sick and death benefits are promised, and all the attention will be accorded members as given by the best fraternal societies. I also understand that the "goat" will be dispensed with during initiation. This is not authoritative yet I think it should be, since every married man has already had "goat" enough.

That George and Car- til—until Carolin', the essence of e before George one morning;; e tell where she had been, or who with her and then had stolen away. e to tell a two-hundred pound s he had kissed so often, and then never a woman sobbed before. I know that she got down on her knees and swore that she loved me better than life, that she would lie down and let me tample on her; that I could beat her at my pleasure, but I was insane and would not listen. Had she told me the name of that man all would have been well, but she would not tell me, nor would she explain why she was with him at 3 o'clock in the morning." "And did you--you beat her as she gave you permission to do?" I asked, unable to keep the horror out of my voice, not knowing what else to say. "No. I did a much better thing, I quit. I packed a few things in a suitcase and beat it. I had to struggle with her to get out of the house, but she was too weak to stop me. She even followed me into the street. That is when the neighbors interfered. They had her in charge the last time I saw her." "You mean that you have quit Carolin," I almost howled. I did not want to believe he had deserted her but he protested he had. I did not want to believe that the charge was true, for I loved her as a fellow would love a very dear sister *" but I had George's own word for it, and a fellow of George's type would not tell a deliberate lie on his own wife. I tried to believe that she still loved George, that the demonstrations that morning had been true and sincere, but the galling fact remained that she had accepted his blows and curses in an attempt to shield her lover from her husband's wrath. Women are naturally sacsificial. A few blows is a small matter when something they hold loor and near is at stake. However, I did not feel that it was doing her justice to pass judgment upon her too quickly. Every criminal is entitled to a fair trial. Perhaps she did have a motive for being out that night—a legitimate motive, I suggested that to George but he reproved me angrily. No woman, said he, had a right to keep a thing from her husband that might in time come between them and destroy their happiness. If this lover had been something to her in the past, and had reappeared on the scene after her marriage to bother her, and she had met him for the purpose of pleading with him to go away and leave her what little happiness she had, and he had detained her on one pretext or another until 3 o'clock, (the idea I was trying to force upon him) why didn't she confide in her husband in the beginning of their romance, thus erecting a bulwark of defense that could not be easily demolished? But no, she didn't do that, providing that this was the case. She had tried to keep it a secret and secrets do not keep—escape secrets. especially love scarcely But George was not inclined to accept the "old lover" theory. If that was the case she surely would have confessed rather than accept the mistreatment she had undergone that morning. A woman may accept punishment bravely for the thing she adores but she will not accept punishment for the thing Norfolk Journal and Guide ed the organization are young men, which shows that the younger generation, if weaker, is a whole lots wiser. TELEPHONE I have heard LIZARD much about the lounge lizard, yet not enough to be able to give a good definition of that animal. I supposed he's the chap who spends more of his time lounging than working. But there is another species of the lizard which I am entirely familiar with. That is the telephone lizard. The young man or woman who gets on a business telephone and carries on a long social chat. This animal is usually very active from 12 to 2 o'clock during the day, lunch periods, and business over the wires must slow up to give him a chance. The telephone lizard is as much a pest as the lounge lizard and has cost many a business house considerable money. DID THEY LEARN ANYTHING? as the sage of Shangville, still better known as Shangboard was at his best at Grieg's Barber Shop Saturday afternoon. Shangboard was expositating in the language best understood by himself on the recent trip of barber Grice to New York to witness, as he called it the tossing of the pigskin. He spoke on the subject for fully ten minutes and concluded leaving his hearers not a. wit the wiser than they were before he began. that threatens her happiness. She knew that when she faced her husband, after he had seen her leave a taxi in which there was a male companion, that her domestic happiness, her honer, everything that a woman holds dear, was at stake. She had knowledge enough of peoples and things to fully understand and appreciate to what desperate lengths a man will go when he discovers that his woman is false to him. But instead of giving him some little satisfaction that might heal the breach, she had made the fatal feminine mistake of shielding the lover. She was loyal to the one whom she adored the most. Had she been loyal to her husband, had she loved him and the home he had provided for her, had she held her own honor sacred, she would have made up some sort of tale—would have offered an alibi of some nature—would have confessed in part—to hold this home and husband. But she had remained silent—had refused to divulge the name of the pirate even at the risk of receiving terrible punishment. —probably death— and this action on her part was evidence enough to my friend to convince him of her falsity. Folks who have never smiled the rudest odors of battle can well sit back and mouth over the glories of war. Those who have never possessed teeth in need of acute dentistry, can faugh and saer and make mock of their unfortunate brothers who are forced to undergo that torture. He who has never seen wounded can well mock at scars. By the same token, the man who has never come face to face with the most trying thing that can confront a human of the male specie—an untrue helpmate—is not qualified to censor the person who has experienced that misery. I admit that it is cowardly to strike a woman under any prosecution. In $n$ the same breath I admit that it is equally cowardly and inhuman to strike a cripple, a blind man, or a consumptive. But the world isn't so far advanced in civilization as lofty thinkers would have you believe. When men lose their tempers and see red, when they realize that all that they hold dear in life is turning to mud and muck at their feet, when they come face to face with the maddening thought that they have been living in a fool's paradise with a Delilah instead of a Ruth, reason, culture, learning, philosophy, and tolerance are as if they had never existed. George maltreated Carolin' not because he was a brute of a throwback, not because he was strong and she was weak, not because she accepted the punishment as a child would, but because he was too human to succumb to the theory that another man could take that woman away from him no matter how hard he would struggle to retain possession of her. Had the man been with her at that moment, had it been possible for George to get in reach of him at that time, he would have spared the woman and wreaked his vengeance on the pirate, as it is written that the devoted husband never turns on the wife, although she be guilty; but the illicit suitor was well out of the way, safely hidden in a distant part of the city, and there was nothing else on which the outraged husband could vent his spleen but the silly woman. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1924 the thing out. We tried to dissect the soul of woman. We tried to understand ourselves. We tried to find some decent way out. Long before we ad journed George confessed that he regretted that he struck her. You may not believe it, but he shed tears. The thought that his huge list—canable of felling two-hundred pound piano movers—had brutally lacered the tender lips of the woman whom he loved above the world was a bitterer thought to him than the thought that another man was stealing her away—had stolen her away.

REVIEW and COMMENT D. C. DEANS State Agent. 502 N. Third Street Richmond, Va. By William Britton The Washington Tribune is persistent in its declaration that the race should be independent in its voting and cites the case of Walter Cohen in the Senate in support of its views. Commenting on the recent ac- SEMINARY TO LOCATE IN DOUGLASS PARK Baptist of District of Columbia Select Site In New Subdivision For Institution. Washington, D. C., March 21—What is said to be to the tract of 116 acres of high and a dry land on an elevation of nearly 200 feet above the White House and overlooking Washington City and the Valley of Virginia has been platted by the Washington Development Company and is being sold in home sites for desirable colored families. The tract has been named Douglas Park and is within a few minutes ride of the Nation's capital by automobile or street car. The General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia has selected a site in the center of Douglass Park for the establishment of The Washington Baptist Seminary, and it is the purpose of the convention to make the Seminary modern in every respect. Plans and specifications are now being prepared for the first building, which will cost approximately $100,000. Douglas Park was chosen it is stated on account of its proximity to the Nation's Capital, its height above the sea level making it dry and healthful, as well as the fact that the seminary will influence the class of people who will be permitted to purchase property surrounding it. This school will occupy several acres, for which a fee simply deed has been passed to the General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia by the Washington Development Corporation, owners of Douglass Park. In addition the Corporation promises to donate a sum not to exceed $50,000.00 to be used in the erection of Seminary buildings. Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials tion of the Senate in confirming Mr. Cohen the Tribune says in part: The confirmation of Mr. Cohen by the Senate, this week after he had been rejected twice before, brings out the potent fact that the Negro should be independent in his voting. Mr. Cohen was confirmed by the assistance of the Democrats and Independents, Senator Shipstead of Minnesota in particular being active in Cohen's behalf. Had it not been for this Farmer-Laborite senator, with the assistance of Northern and Western Democrats, a reconsideration of the case may not have come up. Mr. Cohen is cognizant of this fact. "There is a growing sentiment for a third party in the coming election this fall. The Negroes of the voting states will do well to consider their power, their opportunity and their duty to their fellowmen of the non-voting states, and throw their strength to the party that will give it consideration. "It is a known fact that we can not place all of our trust in the Republicans any longer. They have lied to us for the past sixty years. It is also know $n$ that the Northern Democrats are in a receptive mood and are really seeking the Negro vote. We realize that we can get little if anything from Southern Democrats, but by courting the good will of the Northern Democrats and thru them working on the Southern wing of that party, we will accomplish far more. "However, if a third party comes into prominence with the promise of wielding political power and influence, the Negro will have the opportunity of dividing up his vote and thereby be able to command more respect and obtain better recognition. "The Republican party is hopeless. The Northern wing of the Democratic party offers hope, and the coming of a third party may offer a big opportunity for the Negro in politics." The majority of the younger element of Negro voters readily agree that independent voting should mark the race's political activities, but they are skeptical a na Mutual Company RICK, Founder n, N.

Probably if it were possible to divorce the Northern wing from the Southern wing of the party independent voting by colored electors would be an easy matter. This truth of this assertion is illustrated in state and city politics, but on a national scope Democrats are Democrats, and the Negro is not yet ready to help place in power men of the type of Hefflin, Byrnes and Simmons. It is a fact that there are Northern Democratic congressmen who entertain more liberal views towards the race than some men in the Republican party, but when their party is in control of the government they are lost in the shuffle of Southern ideas, policies and traditions which work to the detriment of the Colored brethren. The Virgin Islands Commission has flud with President Coolidge a comprehensive report on conditions as it found them on the islands. The President and Secretary of Labor Davis have expressed satisfaction over the work of the commissioners and sincerely thanked them for their thoroughness in handling the duties entrusted to them. These men left these shores in a quiet and dignified manner; no parade or brass band met them on their return, and indeed the race press has been singularly free of grandstand talk relative to them or their work. From the personnel of the commission, it does not appear that the race political saterites around Washington were consulted on the selection. President Coolidge and Secretary Davis know more prominent Negroes than they were given credit to know, and the choice of this Commission and its work have served to dissillusion some folks of their own greatness. Altho Dean Kelly Miller has borne the brunt of the Howani University appropriation controversy he stands in no danger of losing the popularity in which he is held by the masses of his race. The dean has been on the firing line fighting for racial justice too long to lose caste with his people upon an incident which appraised at its worst was nothing more than regrettable. Howard appropriations have been the target for Congressional controversy engineered by Southern Congressmen for years, and it is foolish to hold Kelly Miller responsible for any injury the school has suffered in this respect. al Life ny the World ON DOLLARS ett Building ```markdown ``` GIRL STUDENTS VISIT NEGRO BUSINESSES Inspect Office of Southern Aid Society, Commercial Bank and Trust Company and Standard Life Branch. Richmond, Va., March 25.—On invitation of Mr. J. O. West, Supt. of Richmond District, Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., the Senior Class of the Academy of Hartshorn Memorial College, numbering more than forty fine young women of the race, led by Miss Maudestine M. Dangerfield, member of the Faculty of the College, spent a most pleasant hour inspecting the offices and departments of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., the Commercial Bank and Trust Company, the Standard Life Insurance Company's District Office, and the modernly equipped dental parlor of Drs. J. M. G. Ramsey, S. D. Calloway, and R. B. Taylor, Jr.; and then assembled with the Home and District Office groups of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc. the District staff of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the official staff of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company in the Home Office of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., where light refreshments were served and greetings and welcomes exchanged. QUITE A REVELATION Miss Dangerfield, the accomplished and highly esteemed instructor, expressed in a most pleasing speech the appreciation of herself and class for the opportunity to see the inside workings of the various colored enterprises and assured the officers and personnel of these institutions that the school and class would ever remember their kindness and interest for the opportunity given them. The young ladies enjoyed the inspection tour and exercises and gave with precision and eclat their college choirs and songs. Their demeanor and interest showed that they appreciated the affair, and that they were a highly trained and an exceptionally refined group of young women. During the exercise someone remarked that the grand-daughter of Dr. Talmadge was right when she said, "God is doing better work now." Mr. Thomas A. Foy, Assst. Supt., exported and presented the young ladies to the business groups. On account of important engagements elsewhere, the President, Mr. J. T Carter, and Secty-Mgr., Mr. B. L. Jordan, were unable to greet the visitors. Therefore this pleasant duty was undertaken by the Assst. Secty-Mgr., Mr. W. A. Jordan, Mr. J. O. West, Supt. of Richmond District, Mr. W. M. Morgan, Assst. Supt. and Mr. C. S. Elder of the Standard Life, made appropriate address after which the teacher and class returned to the college. The success of this affair, in giving the educated youth of the race a chance to see Negro business in action, will most likely start a general program to have students from all schools and colleges to send squads or groups to inspect and work with the personnel of Negro enterprises in this and other cities.

Raspberry, president of Kinston College at Kinston, has for some time had a cast selected from the senior students of his school preparing that most excellent play, "Everywoman," and is now ready to place it on the stage. The first appearance will be in the splendid new school auditorium at Goldsboro, N. C. on Friday night, April 4, and thereafter he intends to produce it in several towns; its presentation in Kinston itself is fixed for Easter Monday night. "Everywoman" is an allegory in the shape of a stage play, and is sufficiently dramatic in its story and action to form an attractive entertainment, while it presents some clean and wholesome moral lessons. An important feature of the play is its equipment with several numbers of music, dances, etc., calculated to afford pleasure and enjoyment to all classes of persons. Miss Martha Hampton, a teacher at the college, has been directress of the preparations.

Deplorable School Conditions In Edenton Edenton, N. C.—The school system of the colored people of Edenton is depolarable. (1) Too many so-called schools. Edenton is one of the historic towns on the Albemarle Sound. It has a population of four thousand; nearly half are Negroes. The schools for the colored children are divided into five different divisions; each division having its own government and teachers picked to suit their conditions. These schools are located as follows: One on West Church St., old church remodeled; one on East Church St., unext to a church; two on East Albermarle St., second floor of an old store, one old church remodelled; one four or five room building on West Freemason St. and county school within the corporate limits. All of these schools charge titration from 50 cents to $2.00 per month, with the exception of the graded school. It is not in the graded school district, but to the children of the district go to it. The other students even though they are in city limits must go to the county school or pay titration to go to one of these other schools. Health of the children cannot be properly cared for in these buildings. Furniture for the buildings is not what it should be; we do not see Old Glory hanging on its walls. Eidenton is the only town in Eastern, N. C. with such conditions prevailing and if these conditions continue, we cannot hope for our boys and girls to make, good citizens. Ignorance is a curse to any people. W. H. A.

His birthday was on Sunday this year, but the members of the faculty friends, and students body true to their custom celebrated their leader's birthday Monday evening March 23, 1924.

DuBois, who has just returned from extensive journeys in Africa, through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, gave out a statement summarizing his voyage. Dr. DuBois said: "I have just returned from a journey of 15,000 miles in the course of which I touched three continents and five European nations, and 5 African colonies, also 5 African Islands. I attended the inauguration of President-King of Liberia for his second term, as a spectator representing the President of the United States, with the rank of Enjoy Extraordinary and Minister Presidency. I saw two colored Concals at Dakkar and St. Etienne, in France. "I spent one month in Liberia, a week in Sierra Leone and ten days in Senegal. I visited Portugal and Moorish Spain and am tremendously impressed with the beauty of Africa and especially of Liberia and its future opportunities." EUROPE WATCHING AMERICAN NEXUS "Especially was the strength and importance of the rising black population of Portugal and her colonies shown. The interest of European countries, especially colonial powers, in the development of the American Negro is astonishing. The American Negro on the one hand stands for what the race may accomplish and on the other hand stands as a sort of warning to colonial powers as to what the race may demand. There is not a single colonial power with possessions in Africa that is not watering, through literature and personal representatives, every development of the Negro problem in America."

Zion, Baptist Church Holds Appropriate Services Marking Long Service of Pastor The large and loyal congregation of Zion and their friends turned out in great numbers on Sunday last, when under the auspices of Women's Lengue No. 1, exercises in honor of the 42nd anniversary of the pastorate of their pastor, Rev J. M. Armistead, D. D., was celebrated. The spirit of loyalty to the pastor and grateful appreciation for his services permeated all departments of the church and the Sunday school and E. Y. P. U. showed a very large attendance and held interesting and appropriate exercises. The crowning feature of the day came at the cloven o'clock hour when Rev. E. E. Smith, of Richmond, who has been called to Zion as assistant pastor to J. J. Armistead, predecessor to an aviation professor, Rev. Smith chose as his text, I Cor. 3:9, and his subject "Union with God." He prefaced his discourse by giving concrete examples of the meaning of the word union, using as illustrations the links of a chain to form one chain, the many separate states to form one great union of United States, and the myriad stars to form one celestial union. "But" said the speaker, "the mechanical union of the chain, the political union of the states, the celestial union of the states, the compared with the spiritual] union which exists between God and his followers." The speaker showed that the people are co-workers with God in service and have the resources of heaven at their command with which to work. Here he paused and paid a glowing tribute to Rev. Armistead and the congregation which for 42 years has supported him. He said that as we can not think of this great union of ours without thinking of Washington and Lincoln, or of Virginia and Baltimore, without thinking of the Savior, neither could we think of Zion without thinking of Dr. Armistead who has carried it on to victory for 42 years in spite of every opposition.

It will not be in a hurry. It will proceed leisurely, and it will chart the route as it goes. What a wonderful age we are living in. Who does not appreciate it? Who would have missed it? The third annual Food Show under the auspices of the Journal and Guide, scheduled for April 7-12, will appeal to all the people in Norfolk who love good eating. The success of the previous shows assures success for third. And they have a positive educative value which is very generally appreciated. That was a splendid act of heroism performed by Capt. Edward Pruden and men of the Pea Island Station, U. S. Coast Guard service, as told in the news story printed on the first page of this issue of the Journal and Guide. It is revealed that while this colored station does its work efficiently and patriotically its commander and men are denied the official recognition due them. This is a good time for citizens of that section of North Carolina to bring this injustice to the attention of the Administration with the view of having it corrected. No better proof of Capt. Pruden's efficiency and capability is needed than the performance on the part of himself and men, described in the news story as an act of "unflagging energy, dauntless heroism, and devotion to duty." The Price of Long Life We all appear to love life sufficiently not to want to die when the summons comes. When we get sick, or have an accident which bruises the flesh or breaks the bones, we make haste to summon the physician and the preacher, to brace us up physically and spiritually, and to drive away the angel of death, if possible. Dumb animals and birds and fish appear to have the like horror and fear of death as humans. It may be "the one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin." as showing that we are all in the condemnation without knowing just what the offense is that makes us so. In a recent address at New Haven Conn., Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University, said: "Health and education are the foundation stones upon which the Negro race must build. If the Negro will but look to the development of these two vital factors in race progress, all other things will be added unto him." There is much truth in this simple reduction of the matter. We believe that the truth of it is penetrating the consciousness of the race as never before, largely because it has penetrated the consciousness of our white fellow-citizens, who are studying and applying the rules and agencies of health in the most approved scientific ways and upon the most stupendous scale in all parts of the country. The price of long life is a proper knowledge and application of the rules of health. Our physicians, hospital service and clinics, and our newspapers, in the publication of health information by specialists, are all helping to educate the people in what is proper and how to apply it so that they may have the longest life expectation possible. It is a necessary work and we should all do our bit to make it effective. The Shake Up in the Moslem World The readers of the Journal and Guide are interested in the revolutionary shake up in the Moslem world because a large part of the 350,000,000 Mohammedans affected are of the African and Asiatic Editorial Page of races, which are very nearly allied in blood, especially the large Arabic portion of both countries. They differ greatly in their languages and customs but they have a common religious sentiment which holds them together against all other peoples and religions, with Allah as their God and Mohammed as their prophet and Mecca as their Holy City. Turkey has long been the head of the Moslem world, and as such has been a menace more or less threatening to Christianity and the Christians Nations, there being no points of contact and possible cooperation in the two religions. The Sultan and Caliphate of Turkey have always been associated together in the one person, and it is hardly possible for them to exist without such coordination, although the separation of Church and State, made possible by the Protestant Reformation of Martin Luther, has been steadily progressing, insofar that today there are few European States where the separation is not complete and all the stronger for it, as the dual regnancy under the Catholic kings prior to the Protestant Reformation and long after will show. The Young Turkish Nationalists, lead by Mustapha Kemal, who call themselves the Angora government, drove out the Sultan two years ago, and they have now driven out the Caliph, making the separation of Church and State complete, as far as the government of Turkey is concerned. The Christian Powers are anxiously awaiting the action of the responsible Moslems of the world as to what they will do. The British and French, which have many Mohammedan subjects, are both striving to so shape matters as to control the man who shall rule the Moslem world as Sultan and Caliph, but the Moslem leaders show a disposition to select their own head, and they should do it, as they have nothing to gain by having a Christian head or a Moslem head dominated by any Christian Power. But it does not appear that the Mohammedan religion has any future; it rather appears that is has served its purpose, and must give place to some better system of belief and government. Lessons From the Cohen Drag, Hang Up and Show Down Our race group used to be up high in politics. It was not so long ago that that was true. Sixteen years ago it held many Presidential offices, offices whose appointments are within the gift of the President, at home and abroad. But, with the passing of President Roosevelt and the coming of President Taft, a change set in, small in the beginning but steadily growing and culminating in the Administration of President Harding, when he fell down so low in the official rating as to be entirely negligible. We have always had the glad hand and frozen heart when there is an Ohio man in the White House. Hayes, Garfield. Taft Harding.—may we have no more in the White House the likes of them. President Coolidge has shown a commendable disposition to give the race a square deal as partisans and as citizens. He recognizes that we are members of the Republican party as well as citizens of the United States, and that is great gain. If he keeps on in the way he has been going, and if he shall be continued as President in the voting next November, we may recover under him much that we lost under the four we have named. Let us hope so. The fact that the Federal Senate has reversed itself and confirmed the nomination of Walter L. Cohen to be Controller of Customs at New Orleans, by a vote of 39 against 38, is a victory for President Coolidge, who defied the Senate and reappointed Mr. Cohen after the Senate by a narrow vote had refused to confirm his nomination. The motion to reconsider the adverse vote was made by Senator Shipstead, Farm-Laborite of Minnesota, who switched his vote to confirmation, as did also Senator McNary of Oregon and Senator Walsh, (Democrat) of Massachusetts. Now Senatorial courtesy, when based on the color line, has been stabbed in the stomach and should bleed to death. It has no place in American politics, and the politician who insists upon it is not a good American by 99 per cent, and should be kept at home by his constituents. The lessons we learn from the Cohen drag, hang up and show down are Norfolk Journal and Guide --- simple, rudimentary, if you will. A united Negro press, fighting for a square deal, and a political contention for the same, with the proper sort of President in the White House, and we can get at least a part of what should come to us as partisans and citizens. Without organization, without an intelligent and persistent press, and without a solid front withal, we can hope to gain nothing but confusion and kicks and jeers, in citizenship, partisanship nor anything else. Are We Striving to Annex The British West Indies? Undercurrent rumors persist that American diplomacy has been working towards the annexation of the British West Indies, especially the Island of Jamaica, as an offset to the large British indebtedness to the United States on account of the World War loans. There has never been any definite information given the American people about it, which is of great importance, if there is any to give out. The rumors persist, however, and as there are so many people interested, much uncertainty exists in the minds of those concerned as to what to expect. A staff correspondent of the Boston Chronicle, writing from Kingston, says that the rumors of annexation "occur too often to be dismissed with the proverbial 'wave of the hand,'" and that there is a belief "in certain quarters that one morning Jamaica will wake up and find itself turned over bag and baggage to the United States of America." There is great economic distress in Jamaica, as in most of the West Indian Islands, which has caused large numbers of the natives to come to the United States and to go to other countries in the Occident, and they have bettered their lot by so doing, economically; but but there is great fear that annexation to the United States might hitch upon them such government as we have given Haiti and the Virgin Islands, and that it would not be to the advantage, all things considered, of the Negro people of the British West Indies to be annexed to the United States. The American and British people do not seem able to govern Negroes and off-color peoples because they proceed on the theory that those people are inherently inferior, are unable to take a reasonable part in the administration of their affairs, and are totally unfit to associate with socially. The Negro people are a vast majority of the population of the British West Indies, and they are a very intelligent and high strung people, to whom it would be very galling to have to submit to such administration of their affairs as we have given the Haitians and Virgin Islanders. The Southern idea of "keeping the Negro in his place," while his white fellow-citizen is left free to make his own place, is a very unjust and dangerous rule of civil administration, a natural breeder of discontent and strife. Spirit of the Press The Plea of the Virgin Islanders From Christian Science Monitor (Boston). One seeking to further the cause of the Virgin Islanders who are asking the Congress of the United States to confer upon their people the status of American citizenship, would find at hand many convincing arguments in support of such plea. First of all, it is shown that the people of the islands, since their renunciation of allegiance to Denmark, have been citizens of no country. It was their understanding, apparently, that with the confirmation of the sale of the islands to the United States in 1917 they would automatically become citizens of that Republic. But such privilege has not yet been accorded, despite the willingness of the natives to accept and of the people of the United States to grant it. A bill has recently been introduced in Congress at Washington providing for the establishment of civil government in the islands in place of the present administration by the Navy Department, and for the granting of citizenship rights to the native people. It is interesting to note the fact that the people of the islands are English-speaking and 99 per cent literate. Judged by any accepted standard, they must be regarded as entitled to all the rights of citizenship. Certainly they are entitled to that measure of autonomy which is asked in their behalf. It is indisputable that the industries of the islands are far from prosperous. Ways and means must be discovered by which agriculture can be aided and encouraged. By a peculiar combination of circumstances, shipping has been driven away from the islands during recent years. It is explained that while the native people are not opposed to prohibition, the enforcement of the rule forbidding shipcarrying liquor from entering any island port has practically isolated the Virgin Islands, despite the fact that they lie in the very pathway of ocean commerce.

Some of the disclosures in Congress tend to convey that efforts on the part of lawmakers are as dangerous as hawkbreaker's efforts. The only difference between living and existing nowadays is the upkeep of living produces grey hairs while the activity of existing keeps one young. Personally we are opposed to a controversy that tends to cover up the truth. But nothis can make the masses mudder than to see people so engaged merely to show off to each other how smart they are. Several Representatives in the lower house of Congress have expressed a desire to modify the dry laws. With a bootleg trade going ahead with sales full, it would seem that the bootleggers did that long ago. Speaking of politics, the recent confirmation of Bro. Cohen and the passing of a soldier bonus bill both tend to pay a debt of gratitude of long standing and are bits of cheerful news involving no hint of scandal worth considering. A dispatch from Fairfax, Oklahoma, says in a scholarship contest three girls with lengthy locks averaged five points higher than their bobbed sisters. A private view is entertained that such news is of informative value, if not of social pleasure. The world's richest man says love is the greatest thing in the world, but there are many people in this old world who would be willing to swap love for a big pile of dough. Nevertheless L-oove is the greatest thing in the world because it is easily required. THE BIRTH In horse and buggy forth they rolled With confidence and care.

Sir, I often read your editors in the Journal and Guide with much interest; they are usually epistles of much thought and wisdom; certainly the most of them give your readers food for thought. I have in mind one of your editors in the Journal and Guide issue of March 15th, which read in part: yes; we need more trained mechanics. The demand is great, but the supply is limited, among blacks and whites, because too many would rather earn sixteen dollars a week as clerks than sixteen dollars a day as mechanics." The foregoing statement is at least, partly true; we see examples of this kind most any day. However there must be an underlying cause for young men having, what the most of us consider a strange way of reasoning; I therefore feel that treating the effects will cause people to think, but to find a remedy we must first find the cause. I am of the opinion that there are several underlying causes for the condition mentioned. One of the reasons is: "The love for the sporting life which overshadows the average young man." They know full well that working at the mechanical trade will not permit them to have as much go-easy time for this indulgence as they desire. For this, we can suggest a remedy, but it is a question whether or not the patients will take it, we think not. Another reason is a most important one, viz: "Social customs which is as old as the "Hills," but which must eventually give way to better reasoning. Both state and society have been for thousands of years laboring under mis-apprehensions, as to the proper place in state and in society for persons in different professions and callings. For many years, caste has held such sway among the people of the earth, that man of ambition have struggled to make a place in the world for themselves and for their postity, that will admit them to places of honor. Until a few years ago, no man in any of the European countries could be elected nor appointed to any important position in state, unless he was seen of Aristocracy. But European countries have seen the errors of their ways and today, laborers are having something to say about the wherein an wherefores of the governments.

Prepositions usually show relation between two words, which they connect. A preposition is always followed by a substantive word, phrase, or clause, called its object. The Object may be. 1. A Noun,—A beggar stood "at" the "gate." 2. A Pronoun,—The word of the Lord came "unto me." 3. An Adverb,—"Till then". I would Thy love proclaim. 4. A Gerund,—I delight "in reading." 5. A Gerundial Phrase,—I delight "in reading choice stories." 6. A Clause,—Remembered "by what we have done." 7. A Prepositional Phrase consists of a preposition and its object. Prepositional Phrases may modify— 1. A Noun,—A "bird" in the hand. 2. A Pronoun,—"Which" of you can turn one hair white or black? 3. An Adjective,—"bright" with Thy praise. 4. A Verb,—"Yield" not to erasure oil, "and cleanse her self of that terrible disease "misapprehension," with which it has been long afflicted, if young ambition are expected to be induced to follow the pursuits that now brand them as being inferior to the white shirt originate. Under Society's present custom, a young man may finish High school and go to college and pursue a course for one of the professions or business; after he finishes and come out into the social world, as a professional man, or a clerk in a bank, or some such white shirt position. He may have dropped morally to that of agrifader, wife deserter or home disturber. Yet, because he is a professional man, or member of the clerical force of some institution, he is admitted to the best homes; or if he happens to have a wife, because she is the wife of a man or the aforementioned class, she is admitted to the very best circles of society (nothing wrong in that, if she is a good woman). To the opposite, if a young man finishes high school and pursues a trade, he may come out morally clean and may remain so, yet because he is a man of a trade, the elite social circles close their door in his face. Should he marry, the doors of the elite circle are closed so tight his wife cannot break through. This is the condition, even if the clerk or professional may be barely making a living and the trade man is living independently. Under these conditions, how can we expect an ambitious young man with the opportunity of entering one of the professions or securing a clerical position, where he is honored, to let this opportunity pass and take to a trade where he is branded as one of the lesser lights? I would be glad to see young men of ambition disregard these things, but I am afraid the average young man is not strong enough to do so. I rather think society should modify its customs enough at least, so as to keep an ambitions young man from feeling that to pursue a trade will brand him and his family as socially inferior (other things being equal) to a professional man or a man holding a clerical position. This epistle may not change the mind of society. I am not expecting it to do so, but I presume it will at least cause somebody to stop and think. O! consistency, where art thou? When clerical or professional soundbells are carried in the bosom of society, when lowest mechanics are soundbells? The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 107. Who is called 'The Apostle of Education?' Daniel A. Payne sometimes called 'the Apostles of Education' was born in Charleston, S. C. By trade he was a carpenter and taught school in his native city until forced to close by the slave holders; whereupon he left the city. In 1840 he joined the Philadelphia Conference of the A. M. E. Church as a local preacher, and after serving churches at Washington, Baltimore and other cities, he was elected a bishop. In 1863 he purchased for the A. M. E. Church, Wilberforce University in the State of Ohio, and the success that this school has attained is due largely to his efforts. He died in Wilberforce in 1893 being at the time president of the Payne Theological Seminary at that place. 108 Who was Phyllis Wheatley?

Hampton Students Give Greek Play Hampton, Va., Mar. 21-An audience of 2,000 persons recently witsentation in Odgen Hall, Hampton nessed with wrap attention a pre-Institute, of Gilbert Murray's ryming-verse translation of Sophocles' famous tragedy, Oedipus, King of Thebes, which reveals the power of drama in the lives of the Greek who lived in the fifth century before the birth of Christ. The tragedy was played by members of the Sophoclean Dramatic Club, a student organization, Students built and painted the stage setting which gave a fine representation of the King's palace, before which there gathered a crowd of suppliants—men, women, and children. Students also helped to make the costumes. The chorus of eleven male voices and a group of eight girls, "maidens of the palace," added to the effectiveness of the dramatic action. Two thralls—Maurice L. Adams, Covington, Va., and Janius T. Langston, Whaleville, Va., and two soldiers, David H. Jefferson, Bristol, Tenn, and C. Reynolds McNorton, Cambria, Va., gave vividness to the performance. The playing of John Knawles Paine's musical score, "Oedipus Tyrannus," on the Frissell Memorial Organ, by Ernest H. Hays of Hampton Institute, gave to the tragedy a deep spiritual quality. High Grade of Talent "Oodipus," supposed son of Polybus, king of Cornith, and elected king of Thebes, was played with deep insight and effectiveness by Andrew E.

The other principal characters were: "Creon," Solomon H. Thompson, Jr., Kansas City, Kas; "Tiresius" Olden L. Goode, Chattianum, Tenn.; "Priest of Zeus," "James D. Griffith, Uniontown, Pa.; "Stranger from Corinth," Henry L. Thurman, Cincinnati, O.; "Shepherd" Herbert Harwick, Savannah, Ga.; "Daughters of Oedipus" Hattie H. Winston, Hampton, Va., and Cornelia J.

The Auburn Shoe Company is said to have carried a full stock of high grade footwear all of which is being sold under the "hammer" at figures seldom heard of on the shoe market. Wishes To Be Remembered Here Prof. J. R. Work, President of Tarkio College, Tarkio, Mo., and for several years principal of Norfolk Mission College prior to the administration of Dr. Wm. Mekirahan, has recently read the article carried in an issue of the Journal and Guide of a few weeks ago, reciting a brief history of Norfolk Mission and wishes to inform his old friends here that the reading of it drew to his mind pleasant reminiscences. In a letter to Mr. H. W. Melvin, a former pupil of his, he states, "I entertain a vivid and grateful recollection of my friends in Norfolk, often think of them and always glad to hear of or from them." Old Norfolkians will recall that as principal of Norfolk Mission College, Dr. Work was a forceful exponent of higher education for Negroes at a time when it required extraordinary breadth of vision and a great deal of personal sacrifice, to preach such a gospel in the South. At one time during his stay here a local daily paper in an editorally took the position that higher education for Negroes was a waste of money and effort, asserting to the effect that colored people were by nature unfit for intellectual responsibilities. After reading this editorial Dr. Work had the students of Norfolk Mission to assemble in the auditorium, where he forcefully declared, "I Health,Sociology,Economics Broadcasted by the School of Health, Howar' University, Washington, C.-C.-Algernon B. Jackson M. D., Director. Smoke Worship I speak to you who daily unknowingly, to offer up a sword to Habit. Many of you who who free, bound by to visible clothes are shaves to smoke worship, smoke worship I mean the tary slavery to Lady Nicole's excessive indulgence in tobacco. No, I do not speak as an elast, seeking to do away with time hallowed tuxury; I do come as a reformer, hoping to flict odious reforms which and a mock at personal freedom, only wish to say a few words the tobacco habit when carried excess. All things to excess are harmless—even too much talking. The Greeks had a proverb—Nothing excess. As a race, we need adopt such a motto, and hang over our doors. We are prone to dress, eat talk, and smoke—match. The next time you go for a walk, count the cigar stores and other stores where tobacco products are sold. Almost every block in every city has its tobaccoist or cigar stores where cigars and cigarettes may be had. Count the number men you pass on the street, putting contentedly away at pipe or cigar. If you indulge, count the number of cigars and cigarettes which you smoke, and figure the cost per day, per month, per year for this luxury—for luxury surely is. Over two billion dollars annually is paid for tobacco, a staggering sum when considered. The next time you smoke consider young contributing to the vast pile of $1 billion dollars which is burned as usually as a sacrifice to nicotine as smoke worship. Cigarette Virulent I have a warning for you daily smoke six cigars or two three packages of cigarettes. We often term cigarettes "coffin nails" and when I see some of our hollow chested, american youths, literally smoke eaters, who fail to qualify physically. I think the term we applied. The effects of tobacco smoking on the human system have been studied, and of the trinity, the cigarette has more virulence that either pipe or cigar. Tests made by scientists to determine the tolerance of cigar, pipe and cigarette smoke on the part of healthy men prove that man is more quicker overcome by the smoke from cigar rettes which contains pyridine derivatives and carbon menisite. Since cigarette smoke is more for frequently inhaled, this may account for the deleterious effects when the cigarette habit is carried out excess. Cigars, of course, are more expensive, and to some people "stronger." Pipes are troublesome, requiring care and frequent filling and pipe smoking is to my mind the most economical and least habit-forming of the triple combination, although wives and sweethearts may disagree with me from an aesthetic viewpoint. The surreptitious indulgence is the "manly habit" on the part of the female of the species is opted for the most severe condemnation. Much of it goes on behind lowers curtains, a sorry inheritance of ultra modernism. I shall not discuss the physiological effect of the practice of young women, but it certainly lowers them in the eyes of men. If you are a smoke worshipped a cigarette fiend, make a resolution to curb the habit and bring it to normal, sane indulgence. Nothing to excess will know. Our good old fashion grand mothers are few. Their advice is good for us to remember. The used to define a cigar as "fire one end—fool on the other." want you young men and women to go out from this school and prove the falsity of that assertion." Dr. Work has lived to see his appeal fullfilled. Incidentally, Dr. J. B. Work is a first cousin of the Hon. Huber Work, Secretary of the Department of Interior, who has recently waged a persistent fight for an adequate appropriation for Howard University. It appears that the family of Works have devoted amiable efforts toward Negro Education. Program Begins Promptly at Eight O'clock The Public Is Accorded A Genuine Welcome MISS MILDRED DUDLEY.
