C., June 13—(P. N. S.)—Federal supervision of Howard University, through the Bureau of Education, is proposed in a bill introduced in the House last Tuesday by Representative Cranston, Republican, of Michigan. "The university is performing a very important and effective work of a truly national character," Mr. Cranston said. "The limited supervision by the Bureau of Education, which I propose, will be helpful." "The appointment of the trustees by the President is a deserved recognition of the institution and is further desirable because of the Federal contribution which the bill authorizes. That authorization is of real importance, the continued welfare of the institution being often menaced by points of order, the appropriations which have been made annually for forty years or more being without statutory authority." NORFOLK HEIRS WIN CLAIM TO SHARE ESTATE Newark Court Allows Validity of Heirship of Late Henry Guy, Who Left Considerable Valuable Property. LONG INVESTIGATION RESULTS FRUITFULLY Norfolk heirs of the late Henry Guy, who left this city a half century ago to make his home in the North and died May 1922 in Newark, N. J., where he had resided for a number of years, succeeded a few weeks ago in having their right to share in his estate established through the Jersey Prostate Court. The deceased is said to have amassed quite a comfortable estate during his life time. It died intestate, in that the beneficiary of his will proceeded him to the grave. At his death, it is said, a nephew residing in New York city, whom Mr. Guy had always recognized while he lived, claimed to be the legal heir to his property. Neighbors who had known the deceased intimately claimed that occasionally he was heard to mention the fact that he left near relatives in Norfolk many years ago, but did not know if any of them were living to the time just before his death. He told his friends that his recollections of his Norfolk people had grown vague and that he had not communicated with them for many years. In his will he made no mention of relatives, except the direct beneficiary, who died previously to his death: INDIRECTLY, his Norfolk relatives the nearest of whom was a niece, heard of his death. Investigation confirmed the reports and a further investigation disclosed the circumstances surrounding his property. A local attorney was retained and hurriedly left the city for Newark, where he enjoined disposition of the estate until his clients should have an opportunity to establish their heirship. This involved a tedious process covering many months. Vital statistics had to be traced as far back as 1850. Thru the long period, a number of years were included during which colored people's birth record was recorded only in the given name such as Jack, John or Tom (black), the slave of Mr. John Thomas, etc. The name Guy could be traced only thru white families, because colored people had no, birth names except those of their owners. However after much research and interviews with aged people of the city, blood connection between the Norfolk claimants and the deceased was established. The result of these investigations was prepared in the form of a chart and personally presented to the Newark court. The lawyers for the New York heir admitted the validity of the claim of the Norfolk heirs and the case was decided without further contest. It is said that the amount involved several thousand dollars and the claimants here have received unite a considerable portion of that amount. Attorney W. W. Foreman handled the case for the Norfolk heirs from start to finish, making several trips to Newark before final settlement was reached. His preparation of the case is said to have drawn favorable comment from the Jersey judge. FIREMAN KILLED WHEN ENGINE.EXPLODES Savannah, Ga., June 12—(P. N.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 Richmond Daily Starts Drive For Playground For Colored Children Richmond Daily Starts Drive For Playground For Colored Children Richmond, Va., June 11—The Richmond News Leader, an influential daily of this city, has inaugurated a movement which has for its purpose the providing the 40,000 colored children of the city with facilities for legitimate outdoor play. Former Norfolk Woman Shot Trailed by Insistent Lover to Pennsylvania City, Where He Shoots Her to Death. Carlisle, Pa., June 11—Mrs. Melceia Bolding, who formerly resided in Norfolk was shot to death by David Kendrick, also a former resident of that city, after having followed her over 500 miles. The dead woman's husband was a Petersburg man and they had separated, the former to Pennsylvania and the latter to New York. Kendrick, the murderer, had frequently prevailed with Mrs. Bolding to divorce her husband and marry him, but the woman would not listen to his pleas. She fled to Carlisle to avoid him, but Kendrick soon picked up the trail and found her. After going to her home he asked the woman outside of the door and fired four shots into her body. After failing to evade the police dragnet, Kendrick gave himself up and pleaded temporary insanity. PLAN TO ENTERTAIN NATIONAL DOCTORS PLAN TO ENTERTAIN NATIONAL DOCTORS Hampton, Va.—The physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the Tidewater section of Virginia have banded themselves together under the title of the "Cognate Professions of Tidewater," for the entertainment of the National Medical Association, which will hold its twenty-ninth annual session in Hampton, August 26-27-28-29, 1924. The organization is working under the direction of Dr. C. A. Eaton, Newport News, Va., as chairman; Dr. W. E. Bailey, Norfolk, as vice chairman and Dr. S. F. Coppage, Norfolk, as secretary. Complete plans have already been mapped out for the scientific sections and social features. The authorities of Hampton Institute are co-operating heartily with the local committee and will place at the committee's disposal the entire equipment and facilities of this famous institute. The sessions of the convention will be held in the institute buildings and ample space has been provided for exhibits, clinics and various committee meetings. The citizens of Norfolk, Hampton, Portsmouth, Newport News and other places in the Tidewater section are enthusiastic in their support of the local committee, and have banded themselves together as a "citizens committee" for extending to the visiting delegates and their friends the hospitality for which Virginia is so justly famous. The social features for the entertainment and recreation of the convention have been so arranged that they will not conflict with any of the meetings or clinics of the convention. The chairmen of the medical, surgical, dental and pharmaceutical sections have prepared interesting and elaborate programs for the various sections, and those who are present will be sure of a wealth of matter pertaining to all branches of medicines, dentistry and pharmacy. The appeal the News Leader sends out for funds to make possible this project is not only strikingly pathetic, but reveals a truth: the children in the fronts colored children in hundreds of southern communities. In its issue of June 7, the Leader published the following statement regarding its efforts to aid Richmond colored children: "To make outdoor play legitimate for colored children, to provide supervision for 40,000 underprivileged colored youngsters who otherwise must run wild through the city and find what amusement mischief the hands may desire, is the purpose of the colored playground fund appeal now being extended to the people of Richmond, white and colored, by The News Leader. "Contributors are asked to send checks or cash to the colored playground fund, care of The News Leader, as early as possible, so that the work may be started early. All contributions will be acknowledged promptly. A total of $3,000 is said by recreation officials to be necessary to supervise and furnish limited equipment to playgrounds in each of the colored districts. "The colored people of Richmond started their drive to swell the fund yesterday with contributions totaling nearly $700. A special executive committee on playgrounds and recreation, composed of colored patrons of social organizations is to meet again tonight at 7, at the headquarters of the council of colored women, Clay street, to discuss further plans." "Among the contributors listed today were the following: Southern Aid Life Insurance Company, $100 National Roy, $2; W. H. Davis Jr, $1; Rose Watson, $1; John Coles $1; cash $5; cash, $2; W. A. Randolph, $1; H. C. Mundin, $2; Bessie Thorps, $5, H. J. Johnston pledge, $2; cash, $1.

S.)—The House of Representatives last Monday approved a provision in the second deficiency appropriation bill which would make available $50,000 for a Negro bathing beach for Washington, D. C., It, however, refused by a vote of 39 to 15 to accept an amendment by Representative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, which would have prohibited the use of one-piece bathing suits on the proposed beach. SEGREGATION COVENANTS ARE DECLARED LEGAL District Appellate Court Validates Exclusion Agreements Entered Into By Landowners in City of Washington. WILL CARRY FIGHT TO SUPREME COURT Washington. D. C. June 11—(P. N. S.)—The "Color Line" may be drawn in restricting the sale of property here, according to an opinion handed down last Monday by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. White property owners in any neighborhood, who fear that an invasion of colored residents might take place unless they are bound in a solemn contract to exclude colored people, may get together and bind themselves not to sell, rent, give away, or in any manner transfer any property to colored persons, and the appellate court held such a document or covenant is binding and cannot be held for naught by one of the signers who takes a notion to disregard it. The decision arose in the case of John J. Buckley, who sued Freed Hand Corrigan, (white), to prevent the latter from selling a house in S street, northwest, between New Hampshire avenue and Eighteenth street, to Helen Curtis a colored woman. The lower court issued an injunction preventing the sale on the ground that it was a breach of the covenant signed by 30 owners of nearby property. Mrs Curtis appealed, but the appellate court now holds that the restriction against her is valid. The appellate court took notice of the fact that it was lawful for colored residents to exclude white people from their localities, their places of business and places of pleasure, and no one protested against the exclusion of white people. Therefore, the court stated, it was just as lawful for the white people to exclude colored people "Segregation does not imply inferiority," the Appellate Court stated. Segregation was the result of agitation by both white and colored persons, the court stated, and, therefore, one race has the right to exclude the other. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, treasurer of Howard University, Recorder of Deeds, Arthur G. Froe, and Perry W. Howard, it is said, have purchased properties close to the enjoined residence, and Washington folks are wondering whether the decision will be far-reaching in its effect. It is believed, however that attorneys for Mrs. Curtis will carry the matter to the U. S. Supreme Court and that, as a well known attorney said, "it is not probable that U. S. Supreme Court precedents will affirm the decision of the District of Columbia courts." Pastor's Bible Class Formed At First Calvary Church The Pastors' Bible Class, of the First Calvary Baptist Church was organized Sunday, June 8, with forty young men present. The lesson was outlined by the teacher Dr. O. J. Allen. It is expected that a great deal will be accomplished under the instructions of the pastor. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR A. B. Huntington High Issues Handsome Souvenir Booklet Newport News High School Senior Class Publishes Elaborate Memento. The most handsome class souvenir gotten up by a graduating class in Virginia, and beyond a doubt, by any school for colored students anywhere in the country, is the 1924 Huntingtonian issued by the senior class of Huntington high school, of Newport News. It is a 112-page book, bound in mahogany imitation leather with the name artistically worked in raised letters. The pages are heavy enameled paper, and from the frontispiece to the last one is profusely illustrated with expensive photo engravings of faculty and class members, also numerous witty etchings. From an editorial viewpoint it is a marvel for a high school and would do any college credit. The matter is well composed, the serious part of it being of literary excellence and the wit and humor is not only original but really clean and entertaining. Every member of the class has been epigramatically catalogued. The epigrams are brimming full of cleverness and entertainment. MECHANICALLY PERFECT Mechanically it is perfect, the engravings being brought out with a pleasing distinction. The arrangement of various type faces and spacing produced a work of real artistic merit. The product clearly evidences the great interest the principal and faculty have in Huntington, as there is no doubt that working with the students in editing this book proved a heavy tax upon their time and energies. But in publishing an annual edition of the Huntingtonian, Huntington high school is putting on record a history of its activities that shall inspire even the sons and daughters of each succeeding graduating class. The work was executed on the Guide presses, Norfolk. Prof. Luttrellie Fleming Palmer, A. B., principal of Huntington high school, Newport News, whose school is recognized as being in the front rank of Virginia's educational system. Prof. Palmer's administration at Huntington has been such to attract the attention of people throut the state and draw to the school students from several miles around. He is surrounded by an able faculty, whose work and zeal each year ad prestige to Huntington. Prof. Palmer's activities are not confined exclusively to the class rooms, he is an ardent advocate of civic progress. His influence is felt beyond the limits of Newport News.

WAS A NATIVE OF ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. Windsor, Va., June 11—J. H. Spraight, a carpenter of Elizabeth City, N. C., who had been working in this town accepted a drink of corn whiskey offered by a friend last week and dropped dead immediately after drinking it. Spraight is said to have restrained a lift from a friend driving an automobile, who willingly complied. On entering the car, it is said, the friend asked him if he would have a drink. Spraight accepted his offer. The dose was fatal, the inhibitor dying almost as soon as the spirits entered his system. Death is believed to have been due to heart affection superinduced by poisonous liquor. As it is claimed his friend had also partaken of the whiskey, it is not thought that the "stuff" was deadly poison. B.T. GRADUATES TOLD "SERVICE" IS GREAT NEED B.T. GRADUATES TOLD "SERVICE" IS GREAT NEED Bank Street Church was crowded to its utmost capacity, at the 11 o'clock service Sunday morning on the occasion of the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the Booker T. Washington high school, which was delivered by the pastor, Rev. C. M. Long. The services were unusually impressive, and the solemnity on the whole was calculated to inspire the members of the class, with high ideals and worthy ambition. Everything connected with the delivery of the sermon to those who were assembled to listen to words of encouragement and advice, was of a nature to heighten the effect of the services and to give greater force and a more vivid reality to the utterances of the speaker. Deacon Johnson, of the Bute St. Baptist Church offered prayer. The Bank St. Choir rendered appropriate selections with sympathetic sweetness. Young men and women, who for a term of four years, had pursued a course of fruitful and persistent study, sat with bright looks and happy faces, giving marked attention to the discourse that was being delivered in honor of the close of their high school careers. REV. LONG'S TALK "A Worthy Admonition," was the subject of Rev. Long's address, taken from Matthew 5:16: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Rev. Long said in part: "I am sure you recognize that you have wonderful opportunities, all that, live in this generation, especially one who lives at that period of his life in which you now find yourselves. Education is a big enterprise. The cry today is, for education, more education and a better use for education itself. You are to receive diplomas as evidence that you have satisfactorily completed a certain amount of work you were expected to accomplish. But mere diplomas in, themselves are not worth the paper on which they are written, unless they show as a result of your training, a character, a willingness, and an intelligence that will fit you as (Continued on Page Five) Society PERSONALS Mrs. C.

Y. P. U. representatives make up the enrollment of the 19th annual session of the Sunday School Congress which opened in this city Wednesday, June11. These messengers and religious workers were received by the Cincinnati populace with open arms. While many of them began to arrive as early as Monday afternoon, and continued to come in all day Tuesday, the major portion of the delegation and biggest special train did not reach this city until Wednesday morning. The Official Congress train coming from Nashville brought the Chairman and the Congress, Secretary and most of the Departmental Conductors. With them came representatives form southwest Texas, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and portions of Arkansas and Mississippi. When the train rolled in the Pennsylvania station, the Sunday School Congress Band began to play a Congress air. The local Congress chorus, in charge of Prof. H. B. Johnson, responded from the local platform with an old time Jubilee and the Congress Band from Nashville, with the local band of Cincinnati, staged their first demonstration and parade. They marched out Pearl street, street, a circuit around 5th St, up Johns street to 4th. From there to the Smory Auditorium around Fountain Square. Cincinnati gave a welcome that has not been equalled. Dr. J. P. Robinson in calling the Congress to order paid a glorious tribute to the Congress founder, the late Dr. R. H. Boyd; then came the solemn part; the great concourse stood with bowed heads in silent prayer, after which the curtain was raised and the 19th Annual Session was ushered in. Opening Session The Congress Secretary was then introduced and read the themes for the five days' work, 12 in number. The Congress chorus then sang "Hail, Hail, Hail the Baptist Congress." The entire week is to be spent here; six days are to be consumed in active Sunday School work; Building Front Line Sunday Schools is the one big theme. Every member out of every home in some Sunday School, is the everlasting motto. Modern Sunday School methods the perpetual aim. The following are some of the features of the week. There will be changes from day to day until every Sunday School worker becomes a part of the program of the present session.

"QUEEN ESTHER" GIVEN AT ATTUCKS Deep Religious Fervor and Self-Sacrificing Heroism Shown in Play. "Queen Esther," an ancient drama dealing with the Jews and the self-sacrificing love of one of their number, Esther, was presented at the Attucks Theatre on Monday night by a local cast under the direction of Miss Carrie E. Bellamy. The acting of Queen Esther (Mrs. Laura Bowman) was particularly excellent, rising at moments to real artistic heights. There were moments when the flame of essential drama and dramatic acting leaped forth and a nodding house was electrified. Much credit is due those who were instrumental in producing the play including Miss Bellamy, Prof. Wille Peacock, the musical director: Mrs. Nora E. Sykes, secretary; and Mr. F. E. Puryear, the mana- ORIGIN OF STORY The original story was written around 600 B. C. The story hinged around the affairs of Esther and her people, the Jews. Esther was left motherless and fatherless and was adopted by Mordecia (Mr. Weldon Bracy). Esther was charming and when the king was to pick a wife, she was urged to go by Mordecia and see what success she could have, saying that if she became queen she could help her people. She found favor in the sight of the king, and by hiding her racial identity, she was chosen for the king's wife. When Mordecia brought word of the decree that should mean the death of all Jews in ten days Queen Esther, ever thoughtful to the welfare of her people, sought some plan to save them from such a calamity. Mordecia tells her she can do so by going to the king, disclosing her identity, pleading, and depending on his love. She pledge herself to do so. During the intervening action, Haman (Mr. Charles Brooms) has been denounced for his evil influence over the king and Mordecia has been clothed in the king's robes for saving the king's life. Finally, the time comes when Queen Esther keeps her promises The king grants her request and orders Human executed. The play thus ends with the people all happy over the victory of God and the Jews. The play was not perfectly done of course, not drilled enough, and lacking knowledge of how the peo ple of that day carried through its various parts, through the recitation, dancing, choruses, and so on, the statement of the play. Buhind the makeshift and imperfections the old forms are shaded nevertheless; and what the ancient order thought and the ancient quality of beauty were it still to be discerned. Most of the time we felt religion, a sense of God, and infinite soft mist within like a faint music heard and lost at the same time. Appropriate and well-playe music was furnished by the widely known musician, Prof. Willie Pea cook.

Granby Theatre AS APPLIANCE STORE PAGE THREE MANUFACTURERS FOR 50 YEARS Suit Cases Pure Leather For Lady or Gent $9.00 up Hubbard's performance is especially noteworthy in this age of record-breaking and record-equalling track performances. For any runners, a 9-4-5 tipping for the hundred-yard dash is a great piece of grunting, and a speed that is seldom equalled. Hubbard's victory gave him the individual honors of the meet and a joint holding of the record of the big ten in the western schools. In a time of stupendous effort, such this year is in track because of the possibility of any athlete winning an Olympic berth Hubbard's consistency in winning two or more first places in a big meet places him at the very top for consistency and excellence in the field of endeavor. Now that he has won himself, he select class of the dashers by turning in a 9-4-5 second race in the century dash his value to the American Olympic team makes him a real fixture. There is one thing about the victory of Hubbard that clears up and helps to prove something about jumping—broad jumping in particular. There is an old axiom that says: "Speed plus height equals distance" in broad jumping. Hubbard's great speed as demonstrated in his winning the hundred-dash in such fast time shows that he possesses the ability to run in creditable race in the high hurdle any time and to win in the majority of cases is an indication that he possesses the second essential for a good jumper. Hubbard's wonderful knack to coordinate the two, in such a manner as he does shows how he gets his great distance—and it shows how he jumps so near twenty five feet every time he jumps. Besides that it shows how he is the greatest jumper in the game today. With Obscure Identity There is another great performer that says that he is not a Negro. He is Charles Brookins of Iowa, a low hurdler and the record holder. He took part in the same meet with Hubbard and broke his own record for the 220 yard low hurdles by running it in 23.5 seconds. There has been no heroism on the radial identity of Brookins, but the fact that he runs such a difficult race in time that is usually the time for the dash of the same distance should put aside all argument as to his race and let the fact that he is a great performer stand alone as a test. He is probably a race lad who is afraid that he will be miserable. In all the same he has grau a wonderful race and has been classed as a Negro until lately. Track Easles Big Track is the biggest national athletics at this time that has any special activities, and several other dutiful skin fellows have done some things that may land them an Olympic berth or at least a triathlon at Boston for the final test. Among those whose recent work has caused much comment are: Albert Washington of the University of Chicago, a dash man of real quality; David Johnson of real quality; the triathlete in most of the distances from three miles up to ten; Francis Hussey, New York schoolboy wonder, and a few others. Washington broke the record for the 100 meter by one fifth of a second, running it in 10 1-5 seconds. He is off for the finals in Boston and in all possibility will make the trip—though there is many, a slip between the cup and triathlon. Johnson is not an unknown buyer of any means, and his comeback as shown in his winning the 100 mile championship is indeed gratifying to his many backers. Opportunity Frank Hussey is the New York schoolboy wonder about whom this column said: "Hussey will either win, or the record will be broken." Hussey has been trained with great care, he has not been pushed too soon and still has a good chance to become a world record holder. However, he was only able to take the place, place the talk, take the talk, be remembered than the way running against some of the fastest, if not the fastest runners, in the world. As this column predicted, Hussey lost only after this conqueror had turned in a new record for the 100 meters. Wills did not win by a knockout. That fact may make his pathways for the ambition of his life a one of thorns. He won by a decisive decision, but nothing is as decisive as a knockout. It signifies one of two things—a powerful punch and a powerful kick. Wills could have a powerful punch and a rugged opponent—just rugged enough to avoid a knockout. Whitt the powers that he say now as to the real staging of a Wills-Dempsey bout is going to be of extreme interest. Wills should have had his chance long ago. Instead of that he has to go up against two rugged men with the chance of injury or even the possibility of defeat or too weak a victory. It is a funny world. HIGH SCHOOL SOUTHPAW SAID TO BE BIG FIND SAID TO BE BIG FINAL Pittsburgh, Pa., June 12—(P. N. S.)—The greatest southpaw find of many seasons is thought to have been uncovered. Greene the 20s to Pittsburgh with the Brooklyn Cuban Giants and remained to play with the Pittsburgh Giants. Greer went with the Giants to Akron, O., Sunday. In the first inning, poor umpiring and an errant coupled with his own wildness, put him in a hole, and three runs were tallied for the opponents. From then, on he had the dangerous Ohioans eating out of his hand. With wonderful control, a fast ball, a slow ball, and a curve and a drop that reminds one of "Loferty Williams, his action on the mound according to "Pep" Young, catcher and captain of the Giants, is a "thing of beauty and joy forever." Out of the 17 games in which he started Greer has won 15. Unassuming and with a bearing of the gentleman, Greer seems to have a wonderful future before, not only in baseball but in other activities of life. EARL JOHNSON FIRST IN CROSS COUNTRY New York, N. Y., June 10—R Earl Johnson, crack Negro distance runner of Pittsburg, present national ten mite champion and former champion in nearly every distance from three miles to ten took first place in the final Olympic tryout in the cross-country day, defeating a brilliant field of 25 of America's premier runners for the cross-country. His victory places him on the team for that distance which will compete for the United States at the Olympic Games at Paris this summer. Robert Legendre, of the Newark Athletic Club, former intercollegiate champion, captured the final Olympic pentathlon tryout from a crack field of all-round stars. Charles was two times the honor of the Olympic Games, was tied fourth place with A. B. Legendre of the United States Naval Academy with 22 points each. Legendre won with a minimum total of 16 points for his performances. The only other outstanding Negro to take part was Ned Gourdin. He and Brutus Hamilton had to withdraw when they pulled tendons in the broad jump, present holder of the broad jump record with a distance of 25 feet 3 inches. JOHNSON COMES BACK Johnson has been coming back into his great winning stride as shown by his winning the ten mile championship recently from a crack field. His time for the cross-country run was 20, 12 seconds, and the distance was 152 meters shorter miles. James Henigan, of Dorchester, Mass., finished second; John Gray, of New York, third, and A. A. Studenorth, of Philadelphia, fourth. Verne Booth, of John Hopkins University, intercollegiate champion, was withheld from the race by Coach Tom Keen. Booth will compete in the two-mile and 10,000 meter runs at Boston Saturday and he is understood that he will be named on the cross-country team. In the pentathlon, Legendre won the javelin, the discus, and the broad jump. Horton Kaer, University of Southern California, and Clifford Argue, Occidental College, Los Angeles, finished in a tie for second place with 20 points each while Charles West, Washington and Jefferson, present intercollegiate competition, and A. B. Leggett, United States Naval Academy, were tied for fourth place with 22 points each. The sixth and last entrant to figure in the final standing was Antoine Warwick who sprang a surprise by winning the 1,500 meter run. Bailey Park Has Gala Opening Bailey Park, Norfolk's popular inland amusement center was opened Sunday, June 8, with a band concert by the Excelsior Band. A large crowd was on hand at the initial openink and was immensely entertained.

Oldest Texas Woman Dies; Aged 115 Years Jacksonville, Tenn., June 12 (P. N. S.)—Mrs. Louisa Harris, said to have been the oldest woman in the home of her son, George Harris, of Cove Springs. YOU'RE A REPORTER AIN'T YOU? WELL IF YOU STEP OVER TO MY HOUSE, ILL SHOW YOU SOMETHING WORTH WRITIN' ABOUT DEHART HUBBARD WINS TWO FIRST IN BIG MEET Hubbard, Ill., June 7—DeHart Hubbard, sensational Negro athlete of the University of Michigan, was the high point winner in the annual Western Conference championship outdoor track and field meet held in this city. Although Hubbard's team did not win the point trophy, he won the high point honors by capping the hundred yard dash in 9.1-5 seconds. Like the western record he never captured a surprise as he has never been given as a great sprinter. Herefore he has been counted as a great jumper and a good hurdler. He won the running broad jump with a jump of 24 feet 10 and 3-4 inches, giving him the two first places and the individual honor: in a meet made impressive with record-equaling performances. His victory in the broad jump lifted him as the great athlete, making him a fixture as he is made the Olympic team is conferred. Scoring in 13 of the 16 events, the University of Illinois team won an impressive victory in the press with a total of 74 points, Iowa State with 38, and third with 31 1-2, and Ohio State fourth with 20 points. Although the weather was more suitable for football than track athletics a world's record was smashed and two conferences records, existing for 21 years, were equalled. Controlling wind swept the course of Brooklyn, of Iowa's world record hurdler, broke his own record for the 220 yard low hurdles around one turn, winning the event in the record-smashing time of 23 4-5 seconds, clipping 9-10 of a second of the mark he made for the event here a year ago. Hubbard equaled one other record and Evans of Illinois equalled another. Hubbard furnished the surprise of the meet when he came through with a teammate at the hundred yard dash. Evans tied the "big ten" record for the 220 yard dash established by Archie Hahn, of Michigan in 1923, when he sprinted to victory in 21 3-5 seconds. The meet was one of the best ever held, and was featured by the work of Brooklyn who is said to be a Negro, though he denies it. Evans and Hubbard KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- WILLS VS MADDEN It's my paneful, but pleasureful duty to give my unbiased dope or the Wills-Madden fight. I didn't want to go and do it, but I got to respond to the re- quests of my many friends in themous. Of course they did n't go an make no requests, but to save the time an trouble I'm going ahead an do what TOMMY I no they want me to go an do Alas! Wills and Madden tied up to settle they dispute. For four times the mess was scheduled, but it winkened out jess- fast as a billie goat can shake his tale. Now sum of these sport-riting guys puts up a howl that Wills messes up his chances of meeting Dempsey in the squirred circle, cause he didn't go ahead an flatten this Madden. They calls him all kinds o' names—everything, but this Madden aint no body's simp an ally. Because Cause Wills didn't put him to sleep aint saying that Wills aint yet i contender for the championship honors. Why me an Wills could put that baby Dempsey away in jiime an I dont mean maybe. dont mean reckon so, John Moore Sam Moore, Bill Moore, but dog gone katooting so, what I mean—chot Now take this Gibbons foistance, why all of the riting babies sx he was the old man's whiskers cause he staid the limit with the chamepen, an when he could not etherize this here Carpenter from across the pond, why they sez he can't fight. Then Carpenter soothed the nothing soft about this Mudder boy. He got an iron law, steel fists cobblestones feet an a midsection of concrete. Of course I no whats the truble. They-jess wants to get me an Wills out the running. I tole Harrie the other day, if he wants me to go an manage his HERE'S AN UMBRELLA THAT HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR NIGH ONTO THIRTY YEARS affairs, why I would go an drag this feller Dempsey in the ring and hole him till he christened the canvass with him. Wills beats his man, so what else do them wants. Everybody don't want to go an go to sleep in the ring every time sum bezo cracks them on the button. This Madden feller nint one of them sleeping kind. Dempsey wouldst be difficult in rocking that baby to the tune of jabs and books. Well all I gotta say is an Wills can beat this Dempsey any day in the week an Sunday for a rally. Why, we would knock 'flattern' a founder an put both of his eyes on both sides shoot, what I mean. One thing I notis, this, everybody nint raring to get a boute with an Harrie. All the fellers that wants to fight us got badges on they chest. Who is I gess you no what I mean. Who is I the logical contender—no I the logical? Dempsey nint Carpenter vin the knockout bout. Gibbons did not an beat beat Gibbons two, but it by the sleeping way. Wills best Madden more decisively than Dempsey beats Gibbons—now what? Let me tell you folks sum. Wills stands out as a contender above the others like a six foot over seer in a strawberry patch. Harrie is a flash on whels with a pair of fighting mitts. FLOWERS-ANDERSON BOUT ON JULY THIRD FLOWERS-ANDERSON BOUT ON JULY THIRD Atlanta, Ga., June 12—(P, N. S.)—The Atlanta June hearing commission Tuesday granted Walk Miller a license to promote a 12-round fight here between Lee Anderson, of New York and Tiger Anderson, the middleweight of the South. Action of the commission cleared up the situation recording a fight here July 3, as two other Atlanta promoters had been claiming rights to that date. The bout, according to Miller, will be held at the auditorium or some other suitable location. It will be the third clash between the two men, with each holding a win over the other. Anderson knocked Flowers out in the seventh round of their engagement, while in their recent New York battle the Tiger literally cut his foe to pieces and coped the decision. Miller announces that he will leave with Flowers for New York next week, where the Tigers makes his fifth appearance at the Commonwealth club in a fight with Joe Lehman, a well-known light heavy weight. Flowers has won all of his preceding engagements in New York. The trip to the big town will be made through the country, and Flowers may stop over at Wilmington, N. C., and one or two other places to engage in exhibition matches. St. Joseph's High School Presents Minstrel Show Friday night, June 20, St. Joseph's High School Society will present its initial performance, at the "Minstrels of 1924," with a cast of 40 boys and girls in St. St. Joseph's hall, East Queen street.

Robert Watts and Joseph Rowley will appear as endmen who have a laughable time with Cornelius Washington, the interment of all the endmen Miss Lacey Newby and Florence Love. Beautiful songs and halls will be heung while the twelve piece orchestra will render lively music. Three clever comedy skits comprise the second part, the first of which is entitled, "The Mysterious Suitcase," in which "Snowball," Clarence Howard, is featured carrying a mysterious suitcase for Harry, played by Cornelius Washington. A graveyard, a pawnshop and a Jewish pawnbroker come in this act and oodles of laughter are created. William Baye takes off the part of the pawnbroker, Joseph Rowley is Junius Solomon customer. Robert Winks and John Good come next in a black face suit entitled, "No Sense, No How." The third, a courtroom scene presents many ludicrous situations. Willie Newby, and Dominis Casey feature the characters. Giants Easy For The Sunbeans Suffolk, Va.—There was an interesting ball game played here on May 30, at East End Park, between the Portsmouth Giants and the Suffolk Sunbeams. Score, 11 to 1, in favor of the Sunbeams. The Sunbeams have gone together with nearly all of their old men and are playing ball like old times. The infield was as follows: Berry, first base; Green, second base; Riddick, shortstop; Jordan, third base; Bowser, pitching and Smith catching. LANGFORD HAPPY, SIGHT IS RESTORED LANGFORD HAPPY, SIGHT IS RESTORED New York, June 13—(P. N. S.) —Last Tuesday was a happy day for Sam Langford, one of the greatest fighters of all times, for he learned that the sight of one of his eyes will be restored. Langford came here recently from the Pacific Sonat. One eye completely gone and the other so bad that he had to be led about, he was taken to the doctor. Doctor James W. Smith operated on him. Tuesday the good doctor, who performed the operation gratis, informed Langford that one eye would soon be as good as ever. DEMPSEY NOT TO FIGHT NOW New York, June 12—(P. N. S..)—Jack Dempsey will not defend his heavyweight crown this year, if Tex Rickard goes through with his plans for a match between the titleholder's two outstanding rivals—Harry Wills and Luis Angel Firpo. This match was disclosed last week by the promoter, who explained that inability to sign Firpo for a match with Wills before August 20, precludes any possibility of arranging a championship contest for the winner with Dempsey. Rickard, however, asserted that he might abandon the Wills-Firpo contest for the long-waited title bout between Dempsey and as your attraction for the winner. The promoter asserted he had determined to stage only one major match, but as yet has not decided which to conduct. Rickard has Wills signed for battles with either Firpo or Dempsey. He also has come to terms with Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, for title fights with either Wills or Firpo. Firpo recently emerged from his retirement to announce that he had accepted Rickard's offer of $250,000 for a Wills' fight. COACH MARTIN GOES TO SHAW WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. H. II, for three years the versatile football mentor of the Union "Panthers" will be at the helm of the Garnet and White machine of Shaw next fall according to dope gathered from a semi-authoritative source. Union has always been in the running and able to produce a forerunner to aggregation, but when Martin began to direct the destinies of the squad, Union started a grand march for Intercollegiate honors and rode the crest majestically to that position last season. Coach Martin has been recorded the honor of being one of, if not the best football coach in the conference. He is not only a player of no small ability but also a team perform as well. He is from Northwestern University, where he started the gridiron. Shaw has been on the road to the cellar for quite a few years and has been unable to check her travels in that direction. Shaw was in a good way to retrieve when Hueles was there, but seemingly the fates decreed that she should lose him. A fast sensor of the ninarians affected of the worse seasons in their history of football commission. If Martin goes to Shaw, there is not the least doubt, that the school will not pull out of the rut and get into the running again. If it can be done, it is a consensus of whistling guesses that Martin can do it. Rumors of H. D. Martin going to Shaw come as a surprise to folklore of the "Pantheon" pigskin jugs. It was said that Lincoln was also bidding for his services, but the Bugs bent them to it. GEE THAT'S A LONG TIME. DON'T YOU THINK YOU OUGHT TO SOON RETURN IT??

WILLS MAULS BARTLEY MADDEN MERCILESSLY NEW YORK New York, June 6 - Harry Wills won a decisive judges' decision over Bartley Madden in a fifteen round match at the Queensboro, Stadium here tonight after pounding Madden mercilessly into a bloody, reeling mass. He had Madden on the verge of a knockout at least two times in the fight. Madden is noted for his ruggedness and ability to stand up under the hardest or punishment, and tonight he put forth his best efforts to stay the limit because of the prestige he would gain by doing so with such a great fighter. Wills won the judges' decision and gained it by a decisive margin, but Madden, fighting one of the most courageous battles seen in a metropolitan ring in years, stood up under the most terrific attacks of the "Brown Panther." Wills employed his great advantage in reach and 28 pounds in weight in effectively battering Madden all over the ring, opening masty cuts about his opponent's ears, mouth and eyes, but the hardest punches of Wills failed to put over the final sleep dose on the West Sider. Fighting the last four rounds with a stream of blood blinding his vision, Madden stood up under a terrific bombardment and times had held its feet off offensive, which did, however, little damage. MADDEN on VERGE OF KNOCKOUT Wills had, Madden on the verge of a knockout at least twice, once in the fifth round, when a showen of Mows to the head sent the Irishman reeling to a corner, and again in the twelfth, when it seemed Madden must go down under the withering attack that sent blood gushing from the cuts about his head. Madden fought, back, but the best he could do was to slow up the attack with the last three rounds willing to surrender the last three rounds Wills, sensing that his prestige was suffering a setback, grimly fought for an opening. He clubbed Madden viciously, but his hardest blow seemed to have no decisive effect on the chunky Irishman, except as stated elsewhere. Madden's awkward tactics, which seemed to puzzle Wills and force him into repeated missing, robbe the match of much possibility of spectacular features. The Irishman seemed more intent upon staying the limit and winning a reputation that would go with not being, knocked out by Wills, He did little effective battling for himself. Wills got the best of the fighting at close range. HAROLD CHINN SETS RECORD HAROLD CHINN SETS RECORD Pittsburg, Pa., June 13—(P. N.

Dr. Ross declares in court that they are. Promotion Contest Proves A Very Pleasing Affair A unique program was given as at the Attucks Theatre-Tuesday night by the teachers of John T. West school known as a closing promotion contest. About 500 children took part on the program and the affair was voted the best the school has ever given. The children played their parts remarkably well, in view of the fact that they had rehearsed only nine days. The concert was enjoyed from beginning to end, and it would be difficult to pick out special numbers for praise, but the Salmon Gorus, June 10, a dance "The Three Wishers" "Folk Dances?" Physical training exercise and the operetts deserve creditable mention. A large crowd witnessed the affair, which reflected considerable credit on the teachers of the school.

H. Hanayan, an adventurer of the "Degree of Agriculture," returned from Abyssinia with the announcement that Abyssinians "are not Negroes and have nothing in common with Negroes except color," the sociological "pros" and "cons" have been scratching their heads badly trying to advance news truths concerning the trend of descent of dark Ethiopia's stock. And now that Prince Ras Taffari, Regent of Abyssinia and descendents of King Solomon with his escort of Ethiopian aristoc crats, is doing a friendly marathon over France. Americans, both white and black, who are indulging in-health tours in that gallant country, have been in a quandary as to whether or not the Prince and his human accompaniments should be welcomed or scorned, as the case might be. The problem was so perplexing that some German scientists were consulted and the unanimously dressed of the Hmizo-Semitic people, who contained no Negro blood, whatever, and none of the Negro qualities, either, physical or mental. Furthermore, it was said, "over there," that, upon the ground that the are the Ethiopians, pure-blooded Abyssinians hotly, resent, being, considered Negroes. To app up the ground, when an Abysinian Emperor was asked to head a so-called Pan-African movement, for the benefit of the Negro race, he quickly said: "I am not a Negro; I am a Caucasian." Educational Hunger Prompts Thievery Pittsburg, Pa., June 14—William M. Ward's aid of seventeen had a thirsting hunger for an education which prompted him to steal some letters from the Eastern Branch Post Office where he was employed as a special delivery messenger after he had decided to quit the Peabody High School to go to attend a Virgina school. Only one of the letters contained money which aggregated $8.00. Ward's previous reputation was excellent and he was given until November to pay his fine of $50.00. SABBATH GLEE CLUB SWAYS AUDIENCE Singin the native spirituals of the race with an impressive and soul-feeling unequalled; handling the classics of other races in a manner that, showed admirable training the Sabbath Glee Club of Richmond sustained its reputation at St. John A. M. E. Church Friday night when it rendered a highly pleasing concert under auspices of the church choir and music committee. A representative audience interjected sparse white people among the famous club in which there were 27 singers, sing in an entrancing harmony. At times their voices modulated to an almost inaudible diminuendo and the harmonious humming, was really uncanny. The audience was helen in fast stillness by the grip of song. Out of this depth of harmony their voices arose to an appealing-crescendo, figuratively, lifting the audience with them. Then again, there would be beautiful perfect harmony; played untidily on the sentimentalism of the spectators. The Sabbath Glee Club was capturing new laurels, and there was no doubting that fact. Encores were numerous the audience virtually begging for more. GOOD IN CLASSICS In singing of the classics of the European masters, the club did admirably well, and this part of the program was entertaining; but it is no disparagement of their ability along that line to state that it is in the realm of spirituals the singers excel. Here they were entirely at ease; showed no strain of intense training in an effort at interpretation, because the circumstances out of which they were born, the circumstances which the ancestors of the singers were cradled. The times are a part of them and certainly interpretation is more natural. Likewise, the masses, as usually make up such audiences as Friday night, more easily catch the spirit of the classics of their own and the response is spooned. A "Roll, Jordan," a "A Mighty Day, Jordan," "Nobody Krows Da Trouble I See," and "Bye and Bye," have been head, maybe, thousands of times, by as many audiences, but it quite probable that they have never been as uniquely arranged as Mr. Joseph Matthews, leader of the club, and his associates, Mr. Worthington and Mr. Crump have arranged them; and certainly few, if any, Glee Clubs have sung them with an equal effect, as they Roll the Boll Mr. Matthew, from composition, the audience to an ecstatic stillness, that burst out in tremendous applause—the humming was so exactly like the tolling of a wonderful bell, ponderous bell. The duet by Messrs. Brown and Kelly and the solo by Mr. Walter White showed these gentlemen to possess an excellence in this art. The Sabbath Glee Club was generous with its talent. It responded to encore after encore, and at the reception in the lecture room of the church after the main performance several selections were volunteered. The audience caught the pleasing personality of the curved horn and the affection turned out to be housed delightful merry making: Mr. Charles S. Ferebe, chairman of the music committee, thrush efforts principally the services of the club were secured, briefly introduced it to the audience. No small amount of credit is due Mr. Ferebe, the public will agree, for his success in presenting the Sabbath Glee Club to Norfolk. Certainly there was not one who heard the singers, but what was thoroughly pleased. OFFICE SALES AND SERVICE CO., (Incorporated) Distinctive Office Equipment Typewriters 121 W.

"First the Bible then the home, or in other words, every member out of every home in some Sunday school, were two of the opening themes and biggest subjects of the 19th session of the Sunday School Congress advocated here in its opening session yesterday. With twenty-five hundred enrollment, representatives coming from 28 states, the curtain rolled up showing a well prepared stage and a big program of five days.

AN ANSWER MODERNIST PREACHERS IS JOSEPH THE FATHER OF JESUS? AN ANSWER TO MODERNIST PREACHERS By Columbus Maxwell the Christ and against Christianity. It may be argued that the Scriptural statement; "the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall over shadow thee," furnishes the foundation for the MERCILESS and HEARTLESS Criticisms of Mr. Paine, THINKABLE. I argue, this is not so; The statement asserts, what would be, and how, and out of the assertion two questions arise: 1, WHAT IS THE HOLY GHOST? and 2, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTIATION BEETWEEN "The Holy Ghost" and "The Power Of The Highest," IF THERE IS ANY? Then, until "What Is The Holy Ghost?" has been determined, and it has been discovered that there is, or that there is not, a differentiation between "THE HOLY GHOST" and the "POWER OF THE HIGHEST;" none could speak with AUTHORITY as to the MEANINGS of the Scriptural statement which we discuss in this connection: and therefore, the argument or the presumption or the assumption that, opportunity for Mr. Paine's INSINUATIONS is afforded by the Scriptural statement, or by the SCRIPTURES at all, is dismissed as being without merit, therefore. Void. On the other hand, the CREED says: "the Holy Ghost" is the Third PERSON in the "Godhead." THE CREED SAYS SO! Mark you! It is Not the Holy Scriptures Which SAY: "the Holy Ghost" is the Third PERSON in the Godhead." It now the CREED which SAYS SO. It is when we connect this "Third Person" of the CREED with the Blessed Virgin Mother as they stand related in this statement: according to the law of human manism, there is not a human being so chase of mentality, as to prevent these thoughts of Mr. Paine, from bolting into his head (In a different spirit from that of Mr. Paine's, perhaps, but the same thoughts, nevertheless).

Merchant Tailors QUEEN STREET At Corner of Lincoln (Continued from last week.) Continuing on page 17 (Age of Reason) Mr. Paine Says: "But the belief of a God is so weakened by being mixed with the strange fable of the Christian creed, and with the wild ventures related in the Bible, and the obscurity and, obscene nonesense of the Testament, that the mind of man is bewildered as in a fog. Viewing all these things in a confused mass, he confounds facts with fable; and as he cannot believe all, he feels a disposition to reject all: But the belief of a God is distinct from all other things, and ought not to be confounded with any. The notion of trinity of gods has enfeebled the belief of one God. A multiplication of beliefs acts as a division of belief; and in proportion as anything is divided it is weakened." On page, 175 (Age of Reason) Mr. Paine, Says: "But when, according to the Christian scheme, one part of God is represented by a dying man, and the other part called the Holy Ghost, by a flying pigeon, it is impossible that belief can attach itself to such wild conceits." Then in the foot note on page, 176 (Age of Reason), Mr. Paine adds: "The book called the book of Matthew says (iii, 16) that the Holy Ghost descended in the shape of a dove. It might as well have said a goose; the creatures are equally harmless, and the one is as much a nonsensical beast as the other. Acts 11, 2, 3, says that it descended in mighty rushing wind, in the shape of cloven tongues; perhaps it was cloven feet. Such absurd stuff is only fit for tales of witches and wizards." On page, 17 (Age of Reason) Mr. Paine, Says: "What is it that the Bible teaches us?—napine, cruelty and murder. What is it the Testament teaches us? to believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married; and the belief of this debauchery is called faith." I have quoted Mr. Paine to show what he thought of the "Third-person-Holy Ghost" and how this KIND of an HOLY GHOST has furnished a firm foundation for the vilest and most wretched blasphemies that have been hurled against Twenty-five Years of Satisfactory Service A.

PART TWO PAGES 7 TO 12 Uskegee Institute, A Citadel of Education Creat Center of Inspiration and Hepe—Forty-third Anniversary Portrays Noted Progress of School. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 11 I love to think of Tuskegee Institute as a builder of character, that is the impression that I gained since I have been visite here. Tuskegee is a wonder-enter of inspirations, its giving, the kind education that will make them of the world prepared to meet problems. I shall never forget the impress-ment that Tuskegee made upon me entered the beautiful campus, closely and attractive buildings; well laid off and carefully comed hawks; the fine hospitality the hopeful student body; and courteous faculty are some of things that you notice at once at once become in touch with the Tuskegee spirit. There is spirit anywhere in the world in spirit you will find After a few hours on the Tusgge campus you are made to feel home. The influence of the late tucker T. Washington still dominates the school. Wherever you will find students and teachersputting into practice the principles taught by Dr. Washington THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT The Washington monument is stands impressively west of the chapel is one of the most impressive things you see on the campus. It is a daily meeting place for students, where they meet to gather lives to hear teachings. At the chapel, Dr. Washington is confiling the veil of ignorance, for which he dedicated life. East of the chapel is tomb where rest the last reins of the famous educator Hermites are often made at the tomb where wreathes are often as a mark and token of affection and appreciation. Perhaps there is no life that has been school more relevant than of Dr. Washington. Far out from Tuscaloosa his influence felt. Dr. K. R. Moton the present principal is keeping alive the Tuxtla spirit. He emphasizes its addresses to the students that education is useless unless it does greatest service to the majority Moton has the confidence of the students, the faculty and trustees have had a good chance to see respect and esteem in which Moton is held since I have been at Tuskegee. The entire cool love him, and feel that they have a friend and adrien. Students get him when they are facing difficulties and more leave without feeling that they have in Dr. Moton a friend. Education at Tuskegee compilations service, and the very immense of the campus seems to suggest how can I be of greater service. The dignity of labor is strikingly observed. A student will walk with the campus, and Tuskegee walks with as much pride and confidence as the best assured student on the campus, the valedictorian address at the commencement was delivered to a young man, William C. Washington, from State Line, Alabama. This man was very striking, for it showed Tuskegee links up education with labor. IMPRESSED WITH EXERCISES I had the pleasure of visitinguskagee at one of the mostinspiring times of the year. It was during the commencement seasonthen the forty-third anniversaryof the institution was beingobtained. We were inspiredan impressive occasionthat I have ever witnessed. You had the opportunity of seeing olduskagee at its best. And yet allthat took place during anniversaryweek was the reaching of a climaxduring the year. Commencementweek gives the visitor a wonderfulquantity to see just the kindof experience that Tuskegee is giving its students. Some of the events of anniversary week were the awarding of special trade certificates; declaration contest of the literary society; a playlet by the Tuskegee University Club; the annual orator contest; a physical culture exercise by the girl students; composition drill by the military division; and graduation exercises of the Photos Hall Bible Training School and concert by the Tuskegee Band. Each day class exercises by the senior class. Thecalaureate address was delivered by Rev. Dr. J. W. Perry of Saville, Temu, a southern white town. He told of the place that Tuskegee has in the program for financial good-will. The crown-feature of the week was commencement day which took place day. May 22. The weather ideal. Hundreds of visitors came every day to the country. The most impressive feature which showed the wide influence of Tuskegee the large number of visitors in the rural sections. many of them successful farm who had graduated from the college; or had come under its influence; while others came to children graduate. Com- mencement began with the academ Norfolk Journal and Guide jie procession to the chapel led by the Tuskegee band under the direction of Captain F. L. Drye. Directly behind the band came the students; followed by Dr. Moton and F. B. Ransom, the faculty, the graduating class, and visitors. The service in the chapel began with the choir. The team addressed addresses of the Reilam Business" by Iva G. Hill, of Cincinnati; "Making Poultry Pay." by Carl Henry Clurk, of Aecera, Gold Coast, West Africa, and the valedictory by William C. Washington, of State Line, Miss.; "How the Water Supply is Obtained at Tuskegee." At the afternoon exercises one of the outstanding features was the industrial exhibition of the schools of the cities of the school. You saw students building a house, laying bricks, shearing a horse, doing domestic work, printing, farming, and other things which are included in the school program. The choir rendered effectively Negro spirituals. The address to the graduates was delivered by F. B. Ransom, of Indianapolis, one of the most prominent lawyers of the race. He told them the story of the men who were trained men and women. He warned them against the frivolous things of life, and to seek to be of the largest possible service. Dr. Moron's CHARGE Dr. Moton in his charge to the graduates told them to carry out into the world the Tuskegee spirit. He emphasized the dignity of labor and warned the graduates against the superficial things of life. There were 143 graduates coming from every section of the country and six foreign countries. The loyalty of the graduates was impressed by the class of 1914, which held its re-union this year. Trough their representative, Walter L. Hutchinson, of Wichita, Kansas, who delivered the alumni address, Dr. Moton was presented with a check for $1914 on behalf of the alumni of the class of 1914. The class numbered 23 and came from eleven different states. This year Moton started to organize a country-wide alumni association, and an effort will be made to reach every graduate and former student. Tuskegee is run on a regular schedule. Perhaps there is no place where time is more precious than here. From the time the first bell rings in the morning at 5:30 to last at ten at night at 10:30, Tuskegee is no place for the lagged or the weak character. The discipline of the school is maintained through the Military Department which is under the direction of Col. Benjamin O. Davis. This department is one of the best organized in the country, and is doing its job for the military. Its students in the military science. This department is so well organized, that five minutes after the last bell, has ringing the Commandant, William H. Walcott can account for every student. CM. Davis impressed and as being an experienced band of digity training and digity training for effective results, group women at Tuskegee are carefully trained under the supervision of well-trained and sympathetic matrons. I have been very much impressed with the womanly hearing of the girl students here at Tuskegee TUSKEGEE ON WHEELS In order to carry the influence of Tuskegee to the rural sections the school conducts an extension department which is under the direction of Prof. C. J. Calloway. Students and teachers visit the rural communities, and spread the gospel of right living and give sons in agriculture and cultivation. Through this mission and Tuskegee keeps in loss out with the actual conditions of the rural communities. Students have a fine opportunity of knowing social conditions and problems of the country. TUSKEGEE BAND The Tuskegee Band which is under the leaders of Captain F. L. Dyee, with Marco T. Williams as assistant, is one of the best organized student bands in the country. The band is giving a thorough preparation in band music and has been the means of giving opportunities to a great many students to work their way through the school. A part of its work is to travel, giving concerts for benefit of the school, and this connection the band won the praise of the leading critics of the country. In concert with the band is the orchestra and glee club Young men who are seeking training in band music would do well to attend Tuskegee. The band has a membership of forty-five I had the pleasure of hearing the band give one of its concerts, and the most difficult music was played with ease and comprehension. PROF. CARVER One of the most interesting features of the work at Tuskegee is research under the direction of George W. Carver, the most noted professor of the country, whose department carries on a most extensive research in Agricultural Chemistry under Prof. Carver, and it is one of the most noted scientific laboratories in the world for the pleasure work of Prof Carver the professor of Prof Carver laboratory, and he has explain some of the most scientific chemical processes. He has been able to get more products from the soil of the South than any other scientist, and his laboratory has become the source of information for every section of the world. Prof. Carver is a most remarkable character, and it is an inspiration to be in his presence. Many honors have come to him for his scientific discoveries and despite them he has been a great teacher. He told the writer that he had dedicated his scientific knowledge to the service of humanity. He recently made a tour of white colleges and universities in South Carolina and was highly praised by students, and the facilities for his scientific contribution. Visitors to Tuskegee should not leave without visiting the laboratory of Prof. Carver and to see the Negro race. More will be said about Prof. Carver. THE TUSKEGEE WOMEN The women at Tuskegee are among the most cultured and informed to be found anywhere in the country. The keep abreast of all movements relating to the progress of the world, and especially pertaining to colored women. One of the potent organizations here is the Tuskegee Woman's Club of which Mrs. Booker T. Washington is the founder and president of the club interesting discussions are being held on current and vital topics. I had the pleasure of being present at the annual reception of the club, and one of the features was the presentation of an interesting phylelet depicting the struggles of the darker women for self-expression. The phylelet was written by Mrs. W. T. B. Williams, and was well staged and acted. Mrs. Robert R. Moton is one of the women at Tuskegee. She takes an active part in all movements making for the betterment of the women at Tuskegee. Other active women at Tuskegee are Mesdames C. M. Battey, W. W. A. Johnson, J. B. Washington, C. J. Callaway, W. T. B. Williams, Julia Skinner, Warren Logan, Robert R. Taylor, Orelia Harlan, Addie Long, Mrs. Minis, Kelley Johnson, Cecelia Johnson, R. A. Banks, Margaret Carey, Nina V. Kfung, Manie G. Moore, Jessie Parkhurst, Pauline Young, and a Mary Williams. Mrs. Booker T. Washington is greatly loved and admired by the women of Tuskegee. Tuskegee has a Bureau of Research which is under the direction of Port, Monroe Work. This bureau keeps an accurate record and account of the progress that being made by the agency all lines of communication is send out each year an annual record of lynchings taking place in this country. This bureau under Prof. Work, has done a great service, and offers students of research a fine opportunity to get information about the Negro. Jean's Fund also has a bureau at Taskegee. This bureau is doing much for the development of the rural school. It is under the direction of Prof. W. T. B. Williams who is responsible with the problems confronting the rural school situation. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department which is INTER-RACIAL PLAN ENDORSED BY M. E. BISHOPS Says Ideas Being Worked Out in The South, "One of the Finest Expressions of Christainity." Springfield, Mass.-The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in their recent address to to the General Conference in session in Springfield, gave their warm endorsement to the movement recently developed in the South for the adjustment of race relations by the methods of conference and co-operation. This is significant as an indication of the growing understanding and sympathy which is binding the different sections of the country together. It is also a notable tribute to the effectiveness of the interracial plan which is now being widely worked out in the South. Statement referred to is as follows: "One of the finest expressions of our Christianity today is the effort of many groups and agencies in various sections of our country for the 'promotion of god will, mutual confidence and brotherly cooperation between the races. These movements to bridge the racial interracial misunderstanding and hate meet our healthy approval and are worthy of our sympathy and compassion. The work has been carried out for a word with much prayer and the leadership of Him whose great commandment is to love thy neighbor as thyself. Among the agencies which we should heartily support are the University Race Commission, composed of southern educators; the Commission on Interracial Co-operation composed of both races, men and women; the Commission on racial Relief for Federal Children and the Churches of Christ. We call our people to associate themselves actively with these agencies and other organizations for the promotion of peace and good that there shall be less friction and more co-operation, less suspicion will toward fen everywhere, section and more confidence, less hatred and more Christian love."

The students at Tuskegee are taught to revere and appreciate these songs and to know that they mean to the history of the Negro. One of the interesting sides of the life of Tuskegee is the time it is found for the study of music. The visitors will never forget attending a chapel service and hearing the large student body sing the Negro spirituals. John A. Kenny, resident physician; Chas. H. Gibson, chief accountant; T. M.

HOWARD HOLDS VERY BRILLIANT COMMENCEMENT Nation's Executive Delivers Address to Graduates; Cabinet Officers Extend Greetings—Degrees Conferred. Washington, D. C., June 11.

Pointing out that the special field of usefulness for educated colored men is among their own race, the President declared that "the Negro community of America has already so far progressed that its members can be assured that their future is in their own hands." "Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice are not to be eliminated immediately or easily," he added. "But they will be lessened as the colored people, by their own efforts, and under their own leaders, shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity." Praises War Service The President drew enthusiastic applause from the thousands of auditors when he paid tribute to the service which the colored race rendered in the war. The university's service flag, showing 1,263 service stars was suspended before the platform from which the President spoke.

He pointed out that there are students in the university from every state in the union and from twelve foreign countries.

Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials Points Out Facts That Face Race Baptists --- Declares Charter Wrecked The Convention; unBaptistic Effort to Make State Church Caused the Division Danville, Ky.—Declaring that the chartering of the National Baptist Convention was the rock on which the denomination's solidarity was wrecked, and that caused the separation and the breach that has not been healed, and that seems to be widening to the extent that it has become permanent, Dr. John Edmund Wood, the president of the National Baptist Convention, who was selected at Fort Worth, Texas last September, has issued an address to the Baptists of the United States, in which he deals with the facts that contient Negro Baptists. It is declared that the National Baptist Convention, which meets in Chicago, Illinois on Sept. 10-15 will put over the biggest program in the history of the denomination. He reviewed the fact that the $60,000 budget set aside at the Executive Board meeting in Nashville in February would be raised, the Seminary saved, owned and managed by Negroes, and that every plan now advanced would be calculated to move the Baptists onward and upward. He stated that the National Baptist Convention is not a state church, and that the spiritual side of the denomination is being fostered on the New Testament Church basis, and a voluntary association, a coming together of spiritual leaders and messengers, bearing messages from the congregations in the existing aim of the thousands who cling to the majority rule in Baptist church. Dr. Wood is of the opinion, his friends say, that nine percent of the Negroes of the United States are building upon a sure foundation, and that the Baptists are not in the rear of this progressive element. He said: "Our National Baptist Convention, has never been chartered, and when Can You Name "Ma" Rainey's Great, New "Mystery" "MA" Rainey, famous has sung her great her admirers to name offers members of the valuable prizes for the the "Mystery Record". 1st Prize—Consol Roman Design or walnut. 2nd Prize—Beauty inches high. 3rd Prize—Beauty inches high. 4th prize, any 50 Paran any 25 records; and 95 all given absolutely free the 100 best titles for the of contest are prominent Harry H.

The organization becomes a Body Politic, a person in law, its Dr. Wood's Address "We have consistently held to a proposition of brotherly love, fellowship and Bible teaching of unity among Baptists, since the division of our forces at Chicago, in 1915. But at no time, have we advocated a surrender of principle or a sacrifice of Negro manhood, or the things that the fathers have secured us through blood and tears. 1. We believe that Baptist ministers should deal with one another as brethren. The Baptist slander will present a brother because he does not belong to your Convention, is not only unscriptural, but ignorant. 2. We believe that the church is the highest administrative authority among Baptists, and it has the inherent right to say in what association or Convention it will do denominational work, without being read out of the denomination, or charged with being an orthodox. The strife and bitterness which have torn State Senate members and Association members, were born of the spirit of the wicked one, and all that we have written on union, means first that this unholy war among Baptists cease. Unite In Hope And Faith 3. We can see how men, though they differ as to methods and organization in kingdom building, may unite in the hope and the faith and the purpose of Africa's redemption and the building and strengthening of Baptist enterprises in the home field. White Baptists to whom some of our brethren look for succor and consolation, recognize these facts, and refuse to become amalgamated in one organization. Nor are the two conventions among white Baptists founded upon geographical lines, but upon policies of management and dealing with local Church organization and local conditions.

FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS LANDLORDS OF ARKANSAS ARE TOLD TOREFORM Induce Race Labor to Return to. the Farms of the Little Rock, Ark., June 13.—(P., N. S.): Arkansas landlords must change the present operating system or continue to lose the Negro tenant farmer and laborer, according to a report submitted to T. A. Wilson, commissioner, by a Negro farm agent, graduate of Tuskegee Institute, employed to influence Negroes to return to the farms. "Once the Negro has moved to the city, or gone north, there is little hope of having him return to the farm," the agent reported after several weeks' thorough investigation among those who have migrated to the city. The agent recommends substitution of cash for the present credit system; education to raise food and feed stuffs in addition to cotton; encouragement of home ownership; elimination of overcharging; good churches and schools; vigorous restrictions of crime and immorality, and better homes. The agent said, despite high wages received in Northern industrial centers, the Negro is dissatisfied with crowded conditions. The agent also stated that the Negro did not leave the farms of the South willingly. The Negro farmer is often overcharged for what he buys, and underpaid for what he sells. In his report to Mr. Wilson' the agent tells of numerous complaints. No Negro canvassed made complaint of assault or threats by white men, he said. Before the employment of the Negro agent, the Labor Department made an effort to persuade the surplus Negro labor in the larger cities to move to the farm. The idle Negroes gave little attention, according to Mr. Wilson, and the plan of having a Negro work among them was adopted. The unemployed were given the opportunity of visiting prospective farms without cost. More than 500 were interviewed, but only 47 indicated that they cared to return to the farms. Many families were induced to return to farming by private agents of the large planters. Frequently the families refused to return, though the men were persuaded, according to the agent. The Negro women received little or nothing for their hard work on the farm, while in the city they get pay for their labor and the children the opportunity of attending schools.

Smith, who had just returned from the convention of Northern Baptists (white) preached a wonderful sermon using as his text Isaiah 55: 7 and his subject"Come back to God. He said in part: "There are two steps which lead back to God; first let the wicked forsake his ways and second, let the unrighteous man forsake his thoughts. We have all sinned and have come short of the glory of God and we need to come back to God because the way of the transgressor is hard in life and harder in death. If we continue to go against our conscience and continue in sin, the conscience will become scarred and we will fine when it it is too late that we are lost. "If the wicked forsake his way will the Lord receive him? Nineveh is a witness because it was spared when it repented at the preaching of Jonah; Peter is a witness for altho he denied Christ he was made a witness of the apostolic band; the thief on the cross Mary Magdalene, man out of which the devils were cast and lashed but by no means least all of us who have been born of God are with witnesses. My plea today is, come back to God in the home, back to God in industrial and social life back to God in the philosophy of education, back to God in race consciousness and back to God in our church life." · Mr. Haggan of Richmond was present at the morning service and made a few remarks which were much enjoyed.

POINTS OUT FACTS TO RACE BAPTISTS POINTS OUT FACTS TO RACE BAPTISTS (Continued from Page Seven) the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta, May 13-19, that organization of Baptist let it be known that it would go certain religious work separate and independent of the northern organizations and to remain as they exist today. yet we do not believe that, but the most amiable relations and cordial feelings exist between Baptists in the Southern Baptist Convention. We want that same brotherly love, unity of purpose and good fellowship to obtain and be lived out among all Negro Baptists. As To Physical Unification As to the uniting of the two National Conventions, this is quite and other problem and can be considered only in the light of the things which caused the separation. 1. The chartering of the convention was the rock on which the denomination wrecked, and will be a barrier to their reuniting until Baptists have a clearer exposition of that act than has ever been given. A corporation is an association of a number of persons under a charter to carry on a business and when they have so associated themselves they become one person and may treat and to work with as such. A corporation form such a corporation far do they go toward a centralized power and how far do they bind themselves to become responsible for the acts of the corporation and amendable to its manifestes? But if you say it is not a corporation of churches, but a corporation of individual Baptists (this is my view of incorporation of an association of a convention), then, we have only a board of more or less proportions, regardless of the name by which it is called. And, the members of a corporation should be bound by certain laws and regulations to work the corporation, and be responsible for their obligations. There would be arrangements by which a person would have voting strength according to his investments in the business. Other Causes 2. Another cause of the separation, was the promiscuous and unreliable membership which reduced the convention to an incontrollable mob and permitted many persons who never qualified as members of the convention to control, in a large measure, its proceedings. 3. Again unparliamentary, unChristian and intolerant methods of procedure made it impossible for the Baptists of the country, when they came together, to hold an elderly, religious meeting."

The curtain is lowered twice during the progress of the play—the first interval indicating the lapse of forty five minutes, the second denoting the passing of three hours. The place of action is a Shrogg shack on the outskirts of Big Spring, as small town in Southern Texas. At the time when the curtain first rises, it is late twilight of a summer day. Before the curtain rises the au-t want him home all the time, but dience becomes aware that a cheap phonograph is playing an air. She leans over and touches th- dience becomes aware that a cheap phonograph is playing an air that is vaguely familiar. Evidently the record is badly scratched and the needle worm smooth by constant use. The curtain lifts slowly and the time develops as the final note of the American National Anthem. At the moment of the rise the machine is pouring forth the strains of a brass band at that point where the words run $ ^a $ $ ^b $ The land of the free and the home of the brave. The interior disclosed by the rise of the curtain is neither revolting nor is it attractive. The place is quite clean; it is also quite plain. The floor is uncovered. The walls must have been papered by unskilled hands, for the papering, now old, has cracked and in places is peeling from the walls. Once is peeling the yellow ground has faded a dirty white and the roses that were red are now the ugly brown of dried blood. Back center there is a window before which hangs thin print curtains slightly drawn aside. The green shade is drawn half way up. Things seen through the window are necessarily dim, as it is late in the evening. In the back wall, the back covering of which is an old fashioned crazy-quilt, somewhat tattered. The head of the bed is against the right wall, and it runs along the back wall. In the right wall, halfway between the back wall and the proscenium is a door, evidently leading into an inner room. Halfway between this door and the fireplace, Below this fireplace sits a straight, ugly chair. In the corner, back left, running along the back wall and the proscenium is a door. Back left, the proscenium is a door, the ancient easy-chair, and next to the right arm of the chair a small table holding the cheap phonograph which is playing as the curtain rises. 'Ole man' is seated in the easy chair with his eyed closed and his wizened torso swaying to the thiny rhythm. It is to be observed that he moves only above the waist-line. Gradually one becomes aware that the entire lower part of his body is paralyzed. His age is undeterminate, but he himself, but he is probably about sixty, though he appears much older. He is dressed in dark, shiny trousers and a course shirt unbuttoned at the throat and showing his servery neck. Ole Man' remains in his chair throughout the play. He lives in the past, and only realities for him are the anthem, the flag he wore, which he holds in his hands, and the medal which he wears on a cord about his neck. He is also conscious of the entrances and exits of people, and always asks them where they are going or from where they have come, but their answers mean nothing to him. From the first rise to the final curtain he is perplexed, hiding his presence, and the confusion of calling the flag. He cheeks to himself at unexpected moments. is probably the appears used in dark course shirt and show. Old Man throughout the ARROWAY As the phone comes to "come the door left opens quickly and Pansy enters. She is young, yellow and almost pretty, dressed in a faded calf; her shoes are black and her stockings are of white cotton. She carries in her arms several paper sacks such as graccers use. She quickly leeks the door and going to the window looks out left, pulls the sash down and fastens the catch. Observing that, the record has run out, she comes to the table and lifts the needle. This senses the Ole Man. Ole Man—"Where you come from?" Pansy—"I been up town gettin, something' for us to eat tomorrow. It's Sunday, you to eat." It is near that Ole Man doesn't know. He has back to fondling his bug again, but Pansy keeps talking to him as if from force of habit. "I ought to had Freeman git these things. I hate to go up town Sattuday. I don't like this town anyhow. If it wasn't for you, Ole Man, I wouldn't never stay here. The people here is strange—sort uh like they're seraway an hard in their souls like they is in their ladies. Mostly they're po' trash sense. Cp! Dunphew's went East. I had it run away from it. Of the younguns Unight. Come 'im up I'm at a dark carrier, he likl. (She goes to the window, locks out, puts paper sacks on the bed and returns to the chair.) I wish Freeman was here. That no' boy works himself most to death tryin' to make money to go back to school. I ought not --- --- "Ole Man, I wish you was strong an' leave like you was when you rode up against them guns an' got 'go' medal. You must have been a fine login sergeant. Then Cave Lawd all jill have. Then Lawd Lawd, that cannon-shot done took yo' mind away an' left you plum helpless with nothin' but a lil pension. Well, I better get you some snumer. (Pansy moves to the bed, picks up the paper sacks and disappears through the door, right, closing it behind her. Ole Man chuckles softly to himself. Suddenly the door-knob in the left wall is turned and releases the door softly twice. Ole Man continues to enjoy his joke. Suddenly a face is dimly seen at the window the face of a weak young man. Two hands attempt to force the window up but are foiled by the catch. After a long survey of the room the face moves right wall opens and Pansy appears with a plate of soup in one hand and a lighted candle in the other. She closes the door with her body (it opens in towards the stage), places both soup plate and candle on the little table and goes to another candle and leaves it. She then returns to the table and picks up the plate of soup.) Pansy—We don't need to use no lamp except when Freeman has to study. Ole Man, here's yo' supper. (Ole Man chuckles and raises his head. Though the door right, Sam Greene noiselessly. His body ill-formed altogether in keeping with his face. He leans over and blows out the candle on the mantel. Pansy starts, turns and drops the plate of soup with a crush. Pansy—"Oh my Gawd!" Ole Man—"Where you come from?" Sam—"Shut up, you old fool!" Pansy (Greene-Don't talk to him like that. Mister Greene. He don't mean nothin'." Sam—"Well, tell him to keep his mouth shut." Pansy "Can I do something' fo you, Mister Greene?" (Sam makes no answer, but stares at her wetly.)

Important suggestions for protecting one's self against the malady are emphasized in the health department monthly report for April. These are: "He must soel that his own milk and food supply in his home is protected from flies and contamination. He must protect himself as an individual to the full extent of his ability. He must avoid exposing himself to contagion as far as possible. He must keep himself in good physical condition as far as he is able to do so. He must use the means that science has given him to prevent disease—one of the most important of which is typhoid vaccine." An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It is better to be vaccinated and be safe, than to go unvaccinated and be constantly exposed to the ravages of a fatal specie, but fail to create those prime essentials of employment, business expansion and economic independence. Race business enterprises need the expert knowledge and sound judgment such as the finance corporation proposes to give. A lively functioning of that organization will not only minimize business failures but will be of tremendous good in lightening the masses of the ambitious undertakings the race is projecting into the trade fields. Moreover, the new corporation holds the possibilities of releasing feasible and workable business plans and ideas that have long been circumscripted by financial limitations. The personnel of the finance corporation brings to the service of the grace money, brains, experience and wide business connections. Granting that the concern measures up to one-half of its great possibilities, it will serve a most pressing need.

"The bishops have enough to hear without bringing upon them the enmity of the hobbed hair girls," says our contemporary. ```markdown ``` If the Democratic party were not just as leaderless and issueless as the Republican party the talk of Senator LaFollette and a Third party would not sound so big and go so far. ```markdown ``` There is general questioning all along the line among us as to the wisdom of the old slogan, "You may take all the world but give me Jesus." There's a reason. The Pittsburg Corner says: "If our present impoverished conditions of life reveal anything at all, it is the necessity of our acquiring some of this world's goods in the life we are now living. We cannot wait until we get "up yonder" to receive all of our reward." The opinion of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is on this wise: Think it over. Vaccinate Against Typhoid That with the advent of hot weather we may expect typhoid, unless every care is taken to prevent the disease, is the warning being issued by the city health department. It is a timely warning, medical experts agree. And it is a warning not directed particularly at one's neighbor, but one's self. The mortality rate from the dread disease is high, and the possibility of contagion is great. In recent summers the keen activities of the health bureau have greatly minimized the spread of the malady in the city; and the bureau may be relied on at the present time to conduct a vigorous campaign against typhoid by carrying out such safety measures as protecting the food, water and milk supply and by the proper and swift disposal of sewerage. But it is best that the individual safe-guard his health against the dread disease by taking advantage of preventive measures at hand. Dr. Schenck, City Health Commissioner, has made typhoid vaccine available to every man, woman and child regardless of race. Important suggestions for protecting one's self against the malady are emphasized in the health department monthly report for April. These are: "We must seqt that his own milk and food supply in his home is protected from flies and contamination. He must protect himself as an individual to the full extent of his ability. He must avoid exposing himself to contagion as far as possible. He must keep himself in good physical condition as far as he is able to do so. He must use the means that science has given him to prevent disease—one of the most important of which is typhoid vaccine." Editorial Page of The Making of Races Cannot Be Regulated by Law The action of the Congress in shutting out the Japanese entirely, as being "undesinables" and "unassimilables," in the new immigration law, and the signing of the bill carrying the exclusion by the President, and the bad feeling created between the United States and Japan as predicted by Ambassador Hanihara, about which we may be long in hearing the last and the claims of certain alleged 100-per cent Americans of "Noradic purity of blood and supremacy in the conduct of the affairs of the world," all make for interest in the discussion of the origin of races and how races are made and what really constitutes a race. In the American Mercury for June there are two articles discussing the race problem which are timely and informing. In "The English of the Negro," Proof, George Philip Krap of Columbia University, finds that "in one very important respect the Negro is not a foreigner and an outcast; his language is finally and completely English." Very good. Given the language, the habit and the religion, which the Negro undoubtedly has in the United States, and we have the three elements which go to the making of a homogeneous race, according to a great Italian publicist, and which is borne out and sustained by a common sense view of the matter. The Negro lives and thinks and talks in the English language, and he has the religion, a heap of it, of the time and place; all this makes him as much an American as the purist Nordic a hundred years away from Scandinavia, from which millions of Americans never came and know nothing about. Prof. Melville J. Herskovits, in the same issue of the Mercury, writing on "What is a Race," admits that the question has not been definitely settled, and doubts if it can be settled, definitely. How can it be, when the infinite crossings of the races have left something of each with each race and group as it has evolved through the ages and come to type? Prof. Herskovits reaches the following conclusion: "In returning to the question of the long-headed Nordic, whose purity and special fitness for the culture of the United States are so freely assumed, and to such practical problems as those of immigration and racial discrimination, we may well ask ourselves how all the current assumptions can be made in the face of this anthropological, bewilderment. How, indeed, can we speak so confidently of psychological differences between the Nordic and the Mediterranean when even the physical differences between the two have not been established? How can we talk about the superior blondness of the Nordic when the amount of black pigmentation in many whites is known to be greater than that in many Negroes? How can we speak of a "pure" strain when even the most arbitrary classification according to selected traits does not show purity anywhere?" And Prof. Herzkovits has reduced the whole question to an absurdity: that is, it can proceed no further and has no chart to follow race evolution and induration back to their origin, because the race crosses have been so many as to destroy the main line. The crossing of the White, Red and Black races in the United States, which has already taken place and is following the usual process in amalgamation, the way races have always been made it will be seen, we already have the ground work of a new race in the United States, and we have. That's all. A Far Reaching Business Venture The finance corporation just organized at Durham enters a field ripe for the utilization of the facilities and purposes of just such an organization. It aims to stabilize worthy and legitimate business concerns of the race by establishing connections capable of providing ample credit where required, and safer outlet for investment funds where such funds are available. While failures are fewer among our group than among the whites in proportion to the number of business concerns, the race failures are more conspicuous and more disastrous in their effect. The number of deserving and enterprising race concerns which, after almost superhuman effort to make headway, have foundered and gone to wreck upon financial of such cases a proper connection at the proper time, thru ample credit facilities, with available monetary resources would have saved the business and afforded safe investment for funds seeking an attractive outlet. Many individual members of the race have money and the incentive to make investments. But heretofore there has not existed adequate machinery for creating contacts between the prospective investors and the worthy and promising business enterprises. Consequently, a large portion of race investments are directed into avenues which may return interest in specie, but fail to create those prime essentials of employment, business expansion and economic independence. Norfolk Journal and Guide Parks and Playgrounds The city authorities have demonstrated keen interest in all measures intended to improve or maintain the public health. The commission of public welfare has proved over and over that one does not have to show him the desirability of maintaining a high standard of public health as a valuable asset to the city. It is with the idea of furthering public health and contentment that there has been much agitation of late for the establishment of additional municipal golf links. Afro-Americans in Norfolk are confronted with a most serious and health promoting shortage of breathing spaces and recreational centers, especially for the growing children—boys and girls. On account of peculiar local conditions—which need not be argued for the purposes of this appeal the municipal golf links, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, atretra, are not available to the colored citizens. For the benefit of our race population, exceeding fifty thousand, we have only two playgrounds of restricted size. A piece of ground large enough to accommodate a baseball diamond, a tennis court or so and some swings and benches could be equipped at comparatively small cost to the taxpayers and would pay large returns in health insurance. Besides, it is possible that such a project could be made self-supporting, just as is true of the municipal golf links. Spirit of the Press The Northwestern Appeal. One of the hardest jobs known is having to edit a newspaper serving a disgruntled clientele. The average newspaper has at least 4,000 persons to please every week. Pleasing that many is physically impossible, no matter how hard the effort may be. Naturally, every article is not going to suit the fancy of each reader; it is not expected to. Therefore, with a multiplicity of opinions to satisfy every week, the editor must rack his brains to find a variety of news matter to appease the largest number of his clientele. Some just love scandal. Others like for you to say nice, pretty things about every one. If their friends are sent to jail for thirty days they desire the editor to say he has gone to the country on a vacation. A different party is chiefly interested in theatrical items, another, sport. The debutant snappy love stories. The small boy, blood and thunder in the Wild West. Some want lots of club news, others, church activities. Then there is the political aspirant who seeks party information while another wants just a bit of fun. There are numerous different kinds of desires to be met by the editor; these are only a few. The most inconsistent of this varied group is the one who wants his kind of news to be in dominant position or else to him the paper does not contain any news and he voices his sentiment by telling all his friends about the faults of the paper he takes and what he would do if he owned the paper. Strange, but true, those least qualified to function in any capacity to an advantageous degree, are always ready to censure what the other fellow does. No matter what is accomplished, "it's all wrong" to many of us. If an article is sent to the editor and it doesn't happen to get in that week's issue there are injured feelings. No matter how limited the space may be, there are some who wonder why Mr. Brown gets his article in and they don't. The truth may be that Mr. Brown sent his article on Tuesday when their arrive on Thursday, too late for publication. Again we would like to remind some of our severe cities that there is but one front page to a newspaper and when it is lifted the rest of the front page news must go elsewhere. It is very hard to explain why some articles are paid matter when the subscriber is unwilling to understand. It costs a great deal to print a paper and when an article is beneficial to an individual it should be worth something to him; yet knowing these facts, the articles according to the opinions of some, should be treated as "News." News is of common interest to all people from a standpoint of information. Articles that reward the sender in either dollars and cents or other tangible benefits are of a publicity nature. The fellow that contributes the beast to the newspaper is the most stalwart kicker and a chronic fault-tender. Imagine yourself in the editor's position with a multiplicity of minds and ideas to suit, when some are thoughtless enough to criticise without cause or investigation and brand your medium as everything but a newspaper, when you work almost day and night to contribute something worthwhile, then you will think twice before you are so drastic in your criticism. --- True Leadership Demonstrated The Washington Eagle. The tests of leadership is in the capacity to turn defeat into victory, when the odds and the interests are against you and your followers. The test applied to the contest of the National Republican Committee from Georgia, Henry Lincoln Johnson, in his recent contest for his place as a member of the National Committee in session in Cleveland, Ohio, has been fairly met. Few men make good counsel and fewer still make winning counsel for their own cases. Not only did Mr. Johnson win his contest for his place on the National Republican Committee, but he represented himself and did it in a fashion that is beyond equal. No man before the bar today has such a gift of language, running from the classics to paths and from humor to biting and withering sarcasm. Mr. Johnson appeared before the committee as the lone representative of the race in his capacity. He appeared against the protest of those in his state who had been able to get other colored people to stand with them to make it appear that the race had been represented. He appeared against those who controlled some patronage within the state. He appeared as his own counsel. Despite those conditions, he won, and did it by the power of his persuasive personality; by his control of the dramatics of the situation, a control which few men of today even understand, to say nothing of using it; by the weight of his logic which was so convincing and so supported by facts beyond dispute, that the silent voice and stilled pen of the late President Harding were revived to add their evidence in his favor. Beyond all the arts is the art of oratory, and it should be a matter of pride to every lover of men and women of our blood and tradition to know that we have an advocate among us, who is matchless. There are those who have scoffed at the leadership of Mr. Johnson, but the victory won at. Cleveland makes of that scoffing but childish booing at the moon, for it proves beyond denial that. Mr. Johnson possesses within himself by training, birth and experience all the qualities of a genuine leader of a group living as we do in a political system based upon representation.

That is its openness. The governor's position on the two major issues affecting the republican form of government of our country, prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan, is clear. There is no vagueness or ambiguity to it. Whether one agrees with his views or not is, of course, a different matter. But he certainly has expressed views that enable the public to determine whether it does agree with them or not. On these issues Mr. McAdoo has practiced a studied reticence. Even President Coolidge has not been as unequivocally clear on these matters as the New York governor, Democrats and Republicans alike are compelled to admire a man who has convictions and the courage to express them, even in the face of antagonizing a large element of voters. Former Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, has declined to allow his name to be considered as President Coolidge's running mate in the republican presidential race. That was to be expected. Very probably it was the keen appreciation of the efforts of his friends in his behalf that prevented the former governor from checkmating his vice-presidential boom in its making. Frank Lowden has led an active Life and is still doing so. No doubt he considers the vice presidency entirely too tame to afford a proper medium for him to carry on the active career; for which he is fitted and inclined. Thru hard fought battles Negro political leaders have just about prevented the Republican party from wearing the white robe designed for it during the Tait and Harding administrations. There have been several attempts made to put this garment on the G. O. P. each of which has come a couple. Thanks to the fighting qualities of such men as Line Johnson, Perry Howard and their like.

There is no question that if Line had been be white he would have made fortune out of his political rever. He is passing over the change of life and is doubtful if he make a break with his wonderful political talent. But he has pleasure of knowing that has fought a good fight, no man has ever been able make him "make water" when he felt that he was right, but fed scorn politicians his cultic hardiness and Washington constantly doing the party leaders for the rights of the race would more effective for good one venture to guess.
