TID BITS There are seven moving-picture theatres in Philadelphia which cater to colored trade in order to keep open.

The term "carat" to denote the weight of a precious stone or the quality of gold was originally the name given to the seeds of the Abyssinia coral flower or coral tree. These seeds, sa. nall and equal in size, were used in the African mines in weighing gold and precious stones until their names came to be regarded as a. united of weight. The seeds of the coral tree have also said to be the original carat weights of jewels. From these were fixed the denite units of weight universally used to weigh and value previous stones and to determine the value of gold, the latter being according to a unit divided into twenty four parts, each called a carat, to show the proportion of pure gold contained in any alloy of gold with another metal. The origin which is 14 carats fine has fourteen parts of gold and ten parts of alloy.

An explorer stated recently that he had found natives in Borneo who have stumps of tails. Occasionally, children with these vestiges of tails are born among the tribes. It is believed that they are the result of intermarriage, long ago, with a completely tailed race. The explorer believes that this completely tailed race still exists somewhere in the wilds of New Guinea, and he intends to organize an expedition for its discovery. According to the natives; these queer people live in the remotest part of the jungle. They are able to weave and make pottery, and concoct a deadly poison with which they tip their weapons. Although quite human, their bodies are covered with long silky hair, and their tails measure from a foot to 18 inches. A trader in Borneo has actually seen a race of tailed natives. He says that these appendages are about four inches long, and are so stiff that their owners have to use seats with holes bored in them to accommodate their tails. St. Joseph's Band At Bailey's Sunday Bailey Park has opened in full swing for the season and all booths are full of good things for the visitors. The park is the center of attraction for amusement seekers. It's popularity is due to its convenient location and an abundance of interesting diversions. The band concerts held on Sundays are the weekly feature attraction. The St. Joseph High School Band is booked to appear on the bill this Sunday, June 29. Bedtime Stories The Lincoln News Service THE EXPLOITER I felt somewhat ill at ease as I entered the smoker, which seemed to be filled with a de luxe group of travelers rather than the human mixture of diversified personalities which is usually found on the road. At my left, there sat a gent, who looked as though he might be a wealthy banker or railroad president; and in the corner next to him there was reclining a traveler resplendent in full dress. Standing near the wash basin was a gentleman of foreign-looking appearance, who might have been a diplomat or a minister of state. He was faultlessly attired in frock coat and other aristocratic habiliments, and stroked a beautifully barbered goattee as though it was made of flesh and blood. "Here," thought I, "is where I am indeed wrong, so far as companionship is concerned; and if I want to get my mind off dull care for a while, I'll do far better to seek the humble atmosphere of the day coach smoker." So, I lighted my pipe and prepared to make my exit. As I glanced up, on my way toward the entrance to the smoker, I observed an unmistakable sign of my secret order, flashed at me by the purest purest English, "but you're like one of my secret order, flashed at me by the foreigner, which I could not well ignore. "Pardon me, sir," he said, in the purest English, "but you like one who has a splendid knowledge of human elements. Won't you have a cigar, and tarry awhile with me?" "Guess you're wrong," I sputtered at him, conscious of clumsy speech and a moment of perplexity. "I'm just a plain American, and don't know much about other people," I added, in a trembling voice. "That's just it," the foreigner continued pleasantly. "My friend, here," he said, pointing to the ostensible banker and the gent in full dress, "have just entertained me extensively, but all has been far different from what I have always expected of Americans, of whom I had always thought they were a free, careless people, void of social differences, and hearty associates in all things," he concluded in a voice of the clearest musical tone, while the banker and his companion looked up, uneasily, but said, nothing. "My friends," said the foreigner, "have been most hospitable, but their hospitality has been so different from that described by my old English tutor in dear old Mexico. So, I told them I was going to hail the first person whom I saw wearing the emblem of our order. And they agreed to remain silent while I conversed with him—and you are he," the foreigner added with a laugh. "Charity, Truth, Brotherhood!" he exclaimed, "You know what they mean—" "But what can I do for you, my brother??" I interrupted. "Tell me," he said, "Were you born in America?" "Right in Virginia." "Ah, then, you are a real American—much more so than those who come here from afar?" "I guess' I am," I replied. "M mother and father were slaves," added, with a bit of feeling; by then, of course, that's a thing "the past in America, now." "That's what my old tutor to me," replied the foreigner, conti- ting, "But I was in Chicago yes- tterday, and was disturbed to see so many Americans without work — I meet dark-skinned Americans like you," he went on to say, "And then, I know that secretly my own people have been called here under contracts to work, at low wages — and I knew that these honorable gentlemen here," he emphasized sarcastically, "had me to come to show me how to make a fortune as they said, by furnishing labor from my own country." I can now see that that wouldn't be right any more than it would be for me to disfavor my own people for the use of a foreign land. But tell me, please, in the name of our order, if I am not right, in order that I may act accordingly." And, as I remembered how my brother Jim had come back from the War, only to lay around all winter, cuff of work, out of funds, and without necessities, all because he had been laid off for cheaper foreign labor, I could but answer: "In the name of our order, yes." And the foreigner turned to his handsomely-attired companions and said: "Gentlemen, I thank you for your courtesies, but our association ends here. I will not be a proposed; for, in turn, you would party to any plan such as, you have do my people worse than you have done your own." Turning to me, he said: "Good night, my brother; I trust we may meet again. And before I could thank him, he had gone. HEARD 'ROUND TOWN By A. WITT Howy Friends.

BOA Having just read of a man who paid $1,000 for a bird dog, Bob Stith says as long as deals like that can happen, this country is not safe for democracy.

Astronomy is one science we never cared to investigate, seeing that it is so far over our heads. Fashion Hints Reports from Leavenworth state that stripes will probably be worn a great deal. Lamb's wool will be much in evidence on Wall street. Black and Blue will be the colors worn by Wills' ring acquaintances. The optimist cheers, but Walter Smith says the pessimist saves his breath for the purpose of letting out a calamity howl later on. Clarence Carrington thinks there is a great deal of difference between a legal holiday and a real one. A Norfolk man went to a dentist and asked him to take a look at his teeth. The dentist did so and seemed full of admiration. "What do you think of them? asked the patient." "Magnificent! Magnificent! was all the dentist said." "Then you don't find anything to do them?" "To do to them? Why, there are four to be pulled, six to be filled and a bridge to make," said the dentist. "Well, as the sun said at dawn "you get a rise out of me." Correct this sentence: Please light it, said she, as she noted the outline of a ring in his waistcoat pocket; I really like the smell of a pipe."

My big brother's so rough he cleans his teeth with a steel brush an' cuts his fingernails with an axe. Calls dat rough, does you? Why, man, dat ain't nothin'. My brother's so rough he shaves off his whiskers twice a week with a blow torch. A Norfolk man says he has had eighty-six jobs in two years. He must have disguised himself as a hired girl. Every kid knows that about half the licking he gets are just to relieve his parents' overwrought nerves and not for anything especially bad he had done. Some men can sure deliver the goods, after their wives wash them. She knew that I knew her father was dead. She knew that I knew what a life he had lead.

Presenting the initial showing of its minstrel, "The Minstrels of 1924," St. Joseph's High School Society drew roars of laughter and elicited repeated encores from an appreciative audience in the high school auditorium, Friday night. There may have been those who felt the night was too hot to permit the enjoyment of an indoor entertainment of any kind, but they certainly missed their guess, and missed a lot of genuine fun, too, if they failed to witness the "The Minstrels of 1924." Electric fans and abundant ventilation keep the hall at a comfortable temperature, and a bunch of frolicking girls and snappy young men made the audience forget the weather. STUDENTS UNASSISTED The effort was made entirely by the students themselves without the aid of a director other than one of their own number. The costumes, of course, were not gorgeous, and they were not expected to be, but they were dandy and reflected any amount of credit upon high school students' efforts. The fun started with the rise of the curtain. The ensemble chorus struck off a captivating song for the first number. Robert Watts and Joseph Rowley as endmen, together with Misses Lucile Newby and Florence Lowe, as endwomen; Mr. Cornelius Washington as interlocutor, from then until the end of the minstrel part of the show, brought tears of laughter to the eyes of the audience. And the endwomen did some "hang-up" dancing. The endmen moved their feet as if they had BUY NOW Your Home In New High School Section Before Prices Advance C. E. Morrisette 303 Law Bldg.

In this part of the performance all the fun as presented in the first part was carried over. Dayes as the Yidish pawnbroker played well his part and tickled the audience immensely. Joseph Rowley was no less a star here too, Clarence Howard by his good acting added to the merriment. Cornelius Washington, who had the heaviest role deserves a deal of credit for handling it as well as he did. The courtroom scene provoked a riot of fun. Nobody has ever seen such a rowdy courtroom and Dennis Casey, the judge, wore a guard designed for a dog catcher. It was really funny, all of it, and well worth the price. No need to mention each character. It is sufficient to say St. Joseph's minstrels have the talent for the real thing. The only use some people have for their heads is to keep their ears apart.

FORD Harrodsburg, Ky., June 24.—The Harrodsburg Historical Society has received a letter from Henry Ford stating that he would like to place a substantial protecting fense about the old log cabin on Fort Harrod Hill in which Lincoln's parents were married, June 12, 1806, by the Rev. Jesse Head, a Methodist circuit rider and magistrate of Harrodsburg. This cabin is owned by the society, which had it removed here from its original site near Beechland, Washington County. The owner of the farm, in a comparatively remote section, gave the cabin to the historical society to preserve. The old building has been considerably marred by sight seers cutting into the logs for souvenirs. ‘pics rs e SATURDAY, JUNP 09 «.4 oem ileetLsss: palssseses, OS sail ii “iil ils cpalestae alee ee cee Sse: oo em loeemees emesis OS ead fsciece s:ossiss: a] i: caghans tScississ:, ean Clit tat spalssseses lj ih a cpaisosssse cralisssse tSilsetasee Oo OS cralisssse st oislaciese: eee ———__ sail ii a Basketball - Tennis R Track- Field Sho riboard4\ eflections : FOOTBALL - BASEBALL - BOXING - WRESTLING AGE FOUR “By P.

P.): “Runnin’ Wild,” the Mil- 4@ and Lyles show which had just egmpleted a long run in this city forced to return for a week's engagement, entertaining _dele- ites to the Demoeratie National ‘Gntion, ie Drew first came into the lime- ight in the 1922, Hampton Insti- tute Track and Field meet. He took first. place in the high jump lund sct the interscholastic record for that event at Hampton. He fils excelled in. the. broad jump und other field events, but, did not ‘zo in for the hurdles.” It is there- fore evident that his college coach ‘saw that he could be made a hutd- fier and made hin one, But with more experience Drew will be heard from, He was also a foot- ull star. An Illustration And that reminds us of a ceran hurdler's experience. In a certain well-known school there is held anmually an inter- class track and field mect which serves a three-fold purpose-—to de- cide the class champions, to pick ‘material for the” intercollegiate ‘meets, and to put the lads through eal competition, One of the elas- ses—the smallest on the gvounds— was expecially weak in the hurdlés. Bo one, athicte who hid ntaral Tikinge for timber topping tl sone equally natural form, decided to enter that event. With a week anda half for actual, training and that time was mixed with rainy days, this lad. went out and trained spasmodically until four days before the meet. Then he ‘got down to real work. The day before the meet he got’a pair ef spiked shots—-and thereby hangs the sad tale. Never before in his life had he run a race in a pair of spikes. So the next, day, after ‘doing so well in a practice run with the shoes, he toed the mark ‘as culm and confident as a veteran, Tn the drawings he was lucky ‘enouch to get a choice of position, but unlucky enough to get the fast- jest man in school tn his heat. Bul Fescerdiess of this he toed the mark with the reckless abandon of the inexperienced, hopetul track a&- pirant. At the report of the start- er's gun he was off like « flash, He took the fist hurdie with 1 ood ead, and could hear others taking the first while he was on his way Jover the sceond barrier. At. the third hurdle someone began to gain on, him and he increased his speed. ‘That is where the trouble began. In going over the hurdles at top speed landing, the spikes had a ten- dency to throw him. At the sev- enth burdle—it was a 220 yard race—together with his waning Tirengthennd Frennerionce with the spikes he was. thrown but that id not stop him, He got_up to place, but not well enough to put him in the finals. All of which go to show that hurdling is not the easiest thing om the track and the mastery of track work is not com- plete with the mere getting of speed or form. Experience and Uaining ave necessary for the fin- lished athlete. OF WH EIS OF WHAT RACE I CHAS. BROOKINGS? | — s | New York, June 27—(P.

With the sluse of the commencement season in American schools and colleses am ambitfous compiler might with ease collec material for many vole ames of addresses to graduates.

They wwe seldom highly inspirational, in- frequently particularly instructive, and usually tedious and uninteres- ting. Por the most part they serve ts vehicles for the expression of the personal opinions or theories of the selected speakers. ‘These, except in rare instances, are not ‘valuable, Rov oceasionally a bright and il- tumvinating light is veyeated at Suck tines. ‘The vision of a commence- day orator aecasionally is cleared hy the opportunity presented or by the conditions which have com- hined to bring into contact those yeady to listen appreciatively and ane prepared to talk wisely and sensibly, The graduate from schoo! ur university gains a distorted eon- cept of his awn relation to society if he is told and made to believe tht he has received a patent which Fassures him success in whatever undertaking he chooses to enter.

Two full days were consumed in preparation for the work to be fully consummated at the coming National Convention to be held in Chicago, Illinois, September 10th to 15th, and Dr. Wood, when seen here this week was enthusiastic over the prospects for attendance and the great meeting. the report of the field work was made by Dr. David E. Over, of Colo, who had traversed the United States going from his Denver home as far West as the Pacific Coast, traversing the Pacific Coast from Sacramento down to San Diego, thence into Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois and into Ohio to attend the Board meeting. His report of the conditions and prospects for those to attend the Chicago Convention was one of the big features of the program and meeting. Dr. Wood's emphasis of the budget that has been carefully outlined consumed much of the first day, but the final work of big achievement was made up of the program and the selective service therefor for the five days they will be in session in the Chicago meeting.

Solve Problem By Having Common Cause.—Pickens Toronto, Canada, June 25—(A. N. P.; Speaking before the delegates of the National Conference of Social Work here Thursday, William Pickens, field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, declared that the way of the South in dealing with the Negro problem was the method of segregation and that instead of being a cure, it was a system for the development of the Negro," Mr. Pickens urged. "We must substitute for this system community interests" for the Negro," Mr. Pickens urged. "We must cease the abortive effort to enceph him; we cannot successfully enceph him; we must assimilate him. Blood assimilation is not necessary—not an end to be purposeed at any rate. But there must be full assimilation in civil society, in business, in industry, in economics, in education in politics. The field secretary was firm in his conviction that most of the attempts to solve the Negro problem had been successes in so far as they had shown us what we must not do, rather than what we must. He urged especial caution against the attempt to drive Americans, of whatever race or color, apart, claiming that it was only as the various groups should recognize their dependency, the one on interest and their reliance in advancing the welfare of the nation, that a proper form of respect and co-operation might be developed. He pointed out that those people who preach against intermixture of any sort are flying in the face of economic, industrial and social co-operation which has been going on for ages and has brought the human race where it is today, and plead that deaf ears be turned to the hummingbird so they can mollify its many talents in the effort to keep aloof and above separate races and nationalities. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE REV. DR. JOHNSON PREACHES SERMON ON DIVINE HEALING REV. DR. JOHNSON PREACHES SERMON ON DIVINE HEALING At The Mt. Olive Baptist Church last Sunday, Rev. Harvey N. Johnson preached from the much discussed subject of Divine healing. Using as his text John 4:52, "They said therefore unto him, yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." He discussed the healing miracle of the nobleman's son and substantiated the fact, from both ecclesiastical and secular records, that Christ was recognized and accredited with having supernatural healing power. He said in part: "You will find that in almost every case He added to the inherent impulse to recovery the power of His own personality; He went further than that, He aimed to secure the expectant hope and confidence of the patient himself. He next worked his 'signs' in an atmosphere of trust and upon of heroic faith. He never worked his cures for pay, but rather used them to gain the attention of His hearers as will be noticed from the fact that He used them more profusely at the beginning of his ministry than at the close. Jesus next avoided all display. He did not 'play to the grandstand'. He did not use his marvellous power solely to convince men that He was the greatest physician, but rather used each case as a symbol of the great spiritual transformation of which He was the fulfillment." Rev. Johnson continued, "The same power is in deep recesses of the soul of every energy constantly available for individual needs. It is the same energy that hung in the morning star and holds in its power all the cosmic interests of today, it has its source in God and its revelation in Jesus Christ, and is available to those who reach out in expectant faith; therefore many ills, simply of mental and nervous origin, are eliminated by a new exercise of the will intensified under the stimulus of religious appeal." He further stated, "Where faith healing has value it ought not to displace other agencies that serve to heal." Tribute To Science He then paid a glowing tribute to the medical profession and enumerated epoch-making achievements in that branch of science; the introduction of anesthetics, whereby operations are made less painful; antiseptic methods of application, obliterating the danger of infection; X-Ray, blood tests, etc., wherein the cause and source of diseases can be readily detected; serums, vaccines, etc., thereby controlling epidemics and contagion; all of which he stated, were good gifts from above and are handed down by the Father of Life. He further "that physical health was not the supreme good to be sought, and that there are some who God wills never to be healed by any methad known to man in order that 'strength might be made perfect through weakness.' And I warn you not to dictate to God how he shall heal you; whether earthly doctors or faith builders or Christian Science or Coeurism or what not. Remember that He has many ways of working out His own loving purpose. The gift to heal, however special, is the privilege of living within the province of the Holy Spirit, for if you will only read I Oral C. 12:28 you will find that it is delegated to the fifth position; therefore do not be swept off your feet in your zeal and quest for physical perfection, but rather pay more attention to the soul which will live 'when the worms will have destroyed this body.' State Federation Of Women's Clubs In Session Here (Continued from Page One) Rev. Young expressed regret that the inclement weather prevented a larger audience. WEDNESDAY MORNING SESSION Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock the Executive Board held its meeting. At 10:30 the opening exerci- ses of the United Methodist Christian Church after the rote- business and a number of musical selections, the heads of various departments reported. Mrs. P.

M. B. Hodge, of Danville); Mrs. Cora Wild White of Sulpher Spring, Mrs. Mary Burke of Richmond, also gave an interesting short speeches. PRESIDENT BARRETT'S ADDRESS Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, the president of the Federation, gave her annual address at the night session held at Queen Street Baptist Church on Wednesday night. During her address she pointed out the difficulties attached to the founding of the organization. She said that the work was done so quietly that many thought nothing was being done. "But now," she said, "we realize the value of publicity." She then outlined the reasons why the Federation was organized and the subsequent founding of the Girls' Industrial School, saying that the school was founded for the girls who had got out of step with society. She then touched on the way in which the people had rallied to the help of the school. As an example of how well the citizens realized the value of the Peake School, she quoted a well-known social worker who had said that the school was the best result of social work in America. In her address she urged better race relations, a more united use of the ballot by the women, a continuation of the help already nobly begun for the Girls' school, and more cooperation among the women of the race in general and among the members of the State Federation in particular. Thursday morning sessions were held at the United Presbyterian church, and at 8:15 the Federation met at Bank Street Baptist Church. Friday sessions were held at the United Presbyterian Church. At this meeting the new officers were elected and vital reports were read. Musical selections were rendered by local talent. Among those who gave the various addresses and talks were Archedeacon Russell, Dr. Piay, Dr. Trigg, Mrs. Estelle Morton, Mrs. Gandy, Mrs. L. F. Titus, Miss Viola Chaplin, Mrs. K. T. Page, Dr. Byrd, Dr. Sara Brown, Mrs. H. L. Schmeltz and others. —P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR Faith Healer Gets Praise and Abuse (Continued from Page One) peals and proceeded to continue her services. SOME DOUBT HER A large number of the invalids who have presented themselves to her for healing have admitted that the healing has not yet materialized, yet there are a few who profusely praise what they claim the good she has done for them. None of the blind people of the city, who have been to her, however, have regained their sight, so far as has been learned. Another well-known man in the city who has been rolling himself about in a wheel chair for years, as though he was blind, in spite of Sister Harroll's healing power, which she tried on him. There are others who when asked if Sister Harrel has done them good merely stated that they believe so, and still others who plainly dissuade her as a fake and a "money changer in the temple." Several people in the city who have been in other cities where she held meetings called for, for Folk or other reasons in her will open their eyes when she has gone, which they claim she always does secretly and suddenly. BIG CROWD SUNDAY Sunday morning the crowd packed the tent before 9 o'clock, and many on coming away were heard praising what they claimed the wonderful healing Sister Harrell had done. But the middle of this week a rapidly spread thr certain sections of the city that Detective Nowitzky had become paralyzed and had been removed to a hospital. It was he who twice led the police on Sister Harrell's tent and credulous opinion was that some supernatural power had struck him down with affliction as punishment for his interference with the 'healers' of the city, as is hate and healthy as ever and has added several more arrests to his record since escorting Sister Harrell before the bar. No Renters, All Owners In City Of 3000 Folks (Continued from Page One) BETWEEN THREE AND FIVE THOUSAND NEGROES "There are perhaps between three and five thousand Negroes in this town; but you could never guess where they lived by the appearance of their homes or the section of the city in which they live. For they live in no particular section. There is no Negro section to this town. They live anywhere their homes are located. And their homes are well kept as any of their neighbors; they are just as orderly, genteel, refined and cultured so far as their public demeanor is concerned. If you visit their churches you find them to be intelligent worshippers as any other group of people in the town. "The schools are mixed so far as the races are concerned, and this doubtless accounts for the common character, taste and culture of the people. The spirit of mutual cooperation between races and mutual good esteem with which they regard each other. POLICY IS TO RENT NO HOMES "I was curious to know how this state of affairs came about. So one day while one of the business men was driving me over the city showing me the interesting points I remarked to him that I saw no slums and no houses for rent. He DURING JULY AND AUGUST THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE OFFICE WILL CLOSE SATURDAYS AT 2:30 P.M. ALL OTHER DAYS AT 5:30 P.M. told me in explanation that it was the policy of the leaders of the city to rent no houses. Everybody who desires to live here must buy his home and become a citizen. The result of this wise policy has been a blessing to the Negroes of that town. The result of this wise policy is wide-awake, interested in everything, community betterment, fearlessly assume their share of community burdens. They are interested in politics not for themselves alone, but for the best interest of the community, State and Nation. For example, in the coming election, it is likely that the Republican party will lose the vote of the Indiana Negroes because of their support by the Ku Klux Klan. And this loss to the Republicans most likely will mean that Indiana will be found in the Democratic column. The Sunday Schools Will Parade Sunday (Continued from Page One).

Says Courage Springs From Sound Health (Continued from Page One) dizzy, vicious age, which masquerades too frequently as civilization, we as a race are prostituting the health of our bodies, our minds and our souls in search of pleasure which only beguiles and stupifies to a sense of inertia that no race or people can possible endure." HEALTH STANDARDS MUST BE RAISED "Health of body is not enough, but we must add to that health of mind and health of soul, for of this combination and of this alone are courage and manhood born. No people handicapped by a high sick and death rate can ever hope to compete with a people whose health is better and whose life is longer. Living side by side of the white man as we are, unless we are going to be satisfied with always being underings, we must build our health sturdily a level with his.

Courage never finds a resting place in the bristles of physical weaklings. Our cause may be just and right, but righteousness without strength to prossequence the cause makes us prosequence doublet both ourselves and world. Back of the whole process of the race building we must put health and long life, firmly linked with that determination which alone can spring from a virile, active mind and soul housed in a body vigorous and dynamic.

P.)—The Darby School Board, and pot Hilda Bolden, daughter of Edd Bolden, Manager of the famous Hildale Ball Team, appointed as valedictorian, is the object of the threatened "strike" by more than half the members of the Darby High School graduating class. Seniors admit that Hilda Bolden attained the highest scholastic standing but charged the board failed to take the students into their confidence in changing the standard on which appointment of a valedictorian is based. Hereofore, according to the insurgent group, the board took into consideration the activity of the eligible students along extra-curriculum lines, in addition to scholastic attainment. Early during the school year now coding, it is said, the board voted to name as valedictorian of the class, the student who had attained the highest grades. This action was not made known to the students until a month ago, and was followed shortly by announcement that Hilda Bolden would be valedictorian of the class. The dissatisfied element of the senior class and student body claims the honor should have gone to Polly Bacchi, a white girl, who, in addition to earning high marks in her studies, was for three years a member, and this year, captain, of the hockey team, secretary of student government, secretary of the Athletic Association, editor of the White Bulletin, the student publication, and president of the Art Club. Polly, who was named salutarian, said today she herself expects to attend the commencement exercises, and chained the attitude of many of her supporters is indicative of "poor sportsmanship." I do not," she says, "and am sure most of the others who are protesting do not, begrudge Hilda Bolden the honor, because her grades were really highest. "This is a school which all races are free to attend and where they should receive equal treatment. To embarrass Hilda Bolden is poor sportsmanship." Hilda doesn't blame Polly for the split in the ranks of the graduating class. "It is a most unfortunate occurrence," she said, "but I hope that by the time commencement is held the class will be reunited in spirit. The board found, after fierring it out, that I had the highest number of credits and received 'E's' all through the four years in all except three subjects. Eighty credits are needed for graduation, and I received 117." Walter R. Douthett, superintendent of the Darby schools, said so far as he knows, the board will stand by its ruling and the matter is a "closed incident." "I announced the change in the board's rule for choice of a valedictorian," said Conrad T. Wadio, principal of the high school today, "and that rule apparently stands." Columbia, N. C.—Rev. F. B. Ferebee, pastor of A. M. E. Zion Church preached at 11 o'clock last Sunday. At 2 o'clock a program was rendered at 'Salem Baptist. The program was conducted by Mrs. L. W. Hassel.

McCauley, in riding. Dr. C. A. Shore of the State Laboratory of Hygiene read the initial paper on the subject, "Inanitity."

Phillips, D. D. S., of Wilton, after which the annual address was delivered by Roy, D. O. Walker, pastor of St. Paul Church. Dr. Walker took occasion to pay a glowing tribute to the prevailing high standard of the medical profession and called attention to the esteem in which the public desires to hold its medical men. Among other things he said the medical men stand between the sick and eternity, that they hold the most important thing entrusted to mortals, and therefore their character should be of the most exalted kind; they should be esteemed in the highest by their fellows, because the health of the people must be either advanced or retarded by the knowledge which they acquire and cultivate.

N. P.) - Marcus Garvey had better not foot in Africa if the officers of those prominent in the affairs of the West African Republic are to be given any weight. The warming is sounded in communications received from Major Abraham H. Butler, commanding the first regiment of the Liberian National Guard, chief of the Liberian detective service and editor in chief of the "Liberian Press" at Monarch Major Butler writes; "If Marcus Garvey thinks, and his followers are fool enough to believe that he can force a settlement in Liberia next October, against the Liberian government, because the Liberians are poorly armed, let them come. Liberians are prepared to the last drop of blood to offer armed resistance to any Garvey invasion of Liberia and if their strength killed them are prepared to call on England and France to help Garvey is a fool, why does he not know that he is so fool. Why does he not go to where he belongs." The delegates of Marcus Garvey were not officially received by the President of Liberia on their visit here nor has there been any official assurance given them of allowing them any space in Liberia. Liberia is in reality a home for Free Negroes, but having already two millions of undeveloped and unduced population, there is no cry to the American Negroes to come here to build up Liberia—what we require in this country is financial assistance and mission to extend their operations to Liberia in such a way as to educate the two million people in Liberia. We do say that we are in need of wealthy Negroes of the Faulkner type who are money and can carry on independent operations of their own, but to say that Liberia holds out a helping hand and are asking that American Negroes come her to develop the country—is only one of the many lies of Marcus Garvey. Liberia does not welcome Garvey nor his followers—not a sensible Liberian has anything to do with the Garvey affair. As a matter of fact there is not a C. N. L.A. branch in the whole of Liberia and all the nonsense in the papers speaking about the Montreal Division is only a Garvey scheme is shown in the fact that G. M. Johnson, the First Patentate, resigned his office and took employment in the Liberian government as Consul General because as a Liberian, he found out the Garvey schemes were all a failure as far as Liberia was concerned—no matter in what a form presented.

"Whose candidacy, from the viewpoint of Colored Americans, do you favor for the Republican nomination for President?" 4. "Whose candidacy, from the viewpoint of a Colored Americans, do you favor for the Democratic nomination." "In view of the fact that President Coolidge is certain to receive the Republican nomination, your third question is academic. Your fourth question presents a matter which I shall discuss in confidence only with the leaders of the Democratic party. My answer to your first question is that, within the State of New York, I shall loyalty support the nominee of the Democratic Party for President, whoever he may be. The nomination of President Coolidge by the Republican party will leave colored democrats no alternative. There never was a President—and I do not except a Taft and Wilson—who gave himself less concern than Coolidge over the matter of the enforcement of the constitutional rights of the Colored People. If the Republican party, however, should nominate a man whose candidacy outfield some substantial hope to us, I should deem it my duty, to my race and my country, to do my humble part toward bringing about his election. "There is, however, a reason even stronger why I shall, within the State of New York, support the Democratic nominee for President, in the event of the nomination of President Coolidge. Tammany Hall will support the democratic nominee, and will expect our aid. Tammany Hall richly deserves any aid which we can give. That organization, under the leadership of the late Charles P. Murphy, has in this State complete political equality. By so doing Tammany Hall has demonstrated that the Negro question, so-called, is, in the main, only a moral question—whether the nation shall do right by the colored citizens. The nation is strong enough to do so if only it wills to do so. The elevation of the Negro in New York to a plane of political and civic equality was made possible chiefly thru the moral courage of Charles F. Murphy. In that lies a valuable object lesson for us. We must put our faith in men, and not in parties. Let us hope that soon the opportunity will be presented to us to aid in the election of a president, who possesses honesty and courage. We will time comes, whatever the man's party may be, let all of us who love our race and our country support him. Belittles Parties "We shall never make effective use of our suffrage until we learn that, so far as our constitutional rights are concerned, parties mean nothing. Nationally we owe allegiance to neither party. Whichever party controls in national government, we are lynched, disfranchised, Jim-crowed, put in pennance, and the fruits of our honest toll filched from us. The National Democratic party is openly contemptuous of our rights; and the Republican party, with a hypocrisy as vile as that of Uriah Heep, pretends friendship for us, so that our vote may keep it—the party which now disgraces the memory of Abraham Lincoln—in corrupt control of the national government. "While it is true that nationally we owe allegiance to neither party, we should, of course, be in a much better position if our vote were divided between them. I think it the duty of the younger NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE voters of our race, for the sole purpose of dividing our vote, to give their suffrage to the Democratic party. "At the coming election, we can give victory to either party. I hope that at its convention my party will prove that it is worthy of victory. It can do so by courageously reaffirming the principles upon which this republic was founded, and upon which alone it can endure, and by nominating the party's standard bearer on honest courageous man who has proved himself true to America's finest ideals. If the Democratic party does that, then the doom of racial and religious hatred, bigotry and intolerance is scaled; and the party and the nation alike will achieve the greatest triumph since the election of Abraham Lincoln." NATIONAL CONGRESS ANNUAL Convened in Union Church; Promine High in Education Appeared on Pro Philadelphia, Pa., S, N, P—The Twenty-Convention of the N Republicans Revert To Old Time Form (Continued from Page Seven) lines straight, he went to war last spring, the final battle was staged at Cleveland week before the last, and Perry W. Howard was seated National Committeeman for Mississippi. Thus the race has two representatives on the Republican National Committee and the race has good cause for rejoicing. SILENT BOB CHURCH The Hon. Robert R. Church quiet and silent a man as is President Coolidge was a delegate at large from Tennessee. He said but little, he smiled and looked and read a lot, but made no noise. Bob Church is a man of great heart and a fine mind. The world will hear from Robert R. Church of Memphis. NO HIT OR MISS GAME National politics is no hit or miss game. In this strictly American institution, nothing accidently happens; every thing must be brought about. And here we have cause to speak of our great good fortune in the white friends who have stood back of us. For be it remembered, had not this Daniel come to judgment in the person of the Hon. Wm. M. Butler; and had not that giant statesman Hon. Charles D. Hilles of New York, that Demoshenes, Senator George Wharton Pepper, that Richard Hill, that other matchless friend Ambassador Charles B. Warren of Michigan, had not these rallied around us, we might have a different story to relate. WM, M. BUTLER SUPREME We say things must be brought about in politics. For months and months Mr. Butter has been shaping things for the Cleveland convention advised by our great President; counselled by our great good friend Hon. C. Bascom Slemp who long ago cashiered the whole lily white outfit. THE MEN PLACED IN CHANGE Hon. Frank W. Mondell, former leader in the House of Representatives who put the anti-lynching bill thus successfully, chairman of the convention; chairman of the Resolution committee, proven friend of the race who stood back of Link Johnson in 1920; the Hon. William B. McKinley, United States Senator from Illinois, who did more than any other one member of the Senate to get Hon. Walter L. Cohen confirmed for the Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, was chairman of committee on credentials; floor leader of the Republican National committee, Hon. Charles D. Hiles of New York, always a friend of our race and never ashamed to own it and always brave enough to fight for us, Hon. George Wharton Pepper, always brave enough to fight for Sylvania, always brave and ready to fight for us and that quiet to fight for Boston business man, Illen. Frank W. Stears, chief of Counsel to the President, and Mr. Duther, friends of all of them and true friends. Mr. SLEMP PERFORMS SUPER ACT Hon. C. Busem Slemp, Secretary to the President, and the ablest man who has presided at the Secretary's Desk in the White House for many years, crowned his many acts of friendship towards us by producing a letter which was written to him by the late President Harding in which Mr. Harding advised Mr. Slemp that the filly-white thing he wrote and cared for (Harding) had mislake in recognizing it; he advised Mr. Slemp that it was his intention to make amends to the colored Republicans and advised Mr. Slemp to let go the filly-white gung, etc. This letter from the grave proved to be the body blow to the Phillips crowd at Cleveland and opened the way for the smoothing out the lily-white snarl, which was already headed for tobogganville. This letter sent on by Mr. Slemp by one who presided over a call to the president, was called for and finally demanded by Mr. Hilies and the doom of lily-whiteism was written, at least for four years and let us hope for all time. Mr. Slemp surely would not have sent this letter to Cleveland but he not desired to aid his colored friends in the contests and we should be everlastingly grateful for the service which this personal letter written to Mr. Slemp by the late President Harding did us. While on this point, it is pertinent to say, Mr. Slemp has done many acts of service and performed many kindnesses for colored callers at the White House since he has been there, always courteous and thoughtful he has put many a colored brother in the way of getting things done and in every way, proved himself our constant friend.

Philadelphia, Pa., June 25—(A. N. P.)—The Twenty-sixth Annual Convention of the Negro National Educational Congress opened in the Union Baptist Church, this week. Sessions were held daily, morning and evening, and the official and educational life of the nation appeared before the convention. One of the features of the opening session was the reading of a letter of felicitation from Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, New York City. In his letter Dr. Butler said: "Those persons, fairly numerous among us, who persist in manifesting intolerance and prejudice and woman of a race, a color or creed, in which they, themselves, do not believe, are essentially uncivilized." "Civilized human beings," says Dr. Butler, "can live together in orderly society, and permit the honest and sincere manifestations of opinion and of Faith. Those who would advance civilization must labor in society and out of season to resist and check out of season of harborman, which manifests itself now in lynching, in prohibition, and now in cowardly and unpatriotic activities of the Ku Klux Klan. "Every liberal will wage war on this spirit of persecution until a sound and truly democratic education drives it from the human ears," J. Silas Harris presided at the conference, and emphasized the importance to promote a better understanding between the races. Many interesting addresses have been delivered by prominent citizens well known on the lecture platform, and every subject affecting the interests of the Negro in this country has been treated, chief among which may be the migration of large numbers of us to a northern industrial center; equal opportunities for solved people the field of industry; opportunities for effects criminality of the Negro; justification of the fight against residential segregation, and the ownership of homes as a means to an anchorage. Mrs. Mary E. Buford, of Pulaski, Vn., in her address to the convention said that the source of help for the Negro is within himself. She pointed out the great need for tact in the contact of the races, to which, Prof Harris agrees, adding, but the white man's assistance is necessary." E. Washington Rhodes, of the Philadelphia Tribune, in his address on "Work of the Negro National Press Association" said that the race needs a fearless press, a moulder of sentiment and thought; that the Negro papers of the country had if gigantic work to perform. It now seeks to make a racial consensual New York City that he said Mr. Rhodes, grown by leeps and bounds, but it must go further. Its new scope of activity must be to make the race see that unless its supports its chiefest and most potent organ, the Negro Press, it must and will pay the penalty. The delegates to the Congress number about 500, and there are thirty-eight states represented. Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, Kansas City, Kansas, is secretary; Miss Amnet D. Davis, Washington D.C., corresponding secretary, and Prof. J. A. Lankford, Washington, D. C., is secretary and treasurer of the Congress.

"Now we know that we can work out these conditions in our laboratories much the same as typhoid fever, diphtheria, and other diseases are determined and treated, and only those who generate cases is there loss of hope." The doctor stated that persons who are worried, restless, sleepless and generally run down, are fit subjects for the psychchiristist. Continuing, the speaker exclaimed: "Many men are chronically sick who could have been saved. Lawyers, doctors, clergymen and teachers as well as students are affected along with others." "I am continually astonished at the mental break down of men of our age, studied psychology in schools and colleges and universities, who make the same mistakes as the ignorant. "We want to save our civilization—we want to say its no disgrace to be sick, but we want them to have our sympathy and co-operation, for the mentally sick should be treated just as necessary as you treat your medical and surgical cases." Daily clinics were held at both local hospitals. Social courtesies were liberally extended by the citizens of the city to the visiting guests.

Address is Honored With Birthday Party Threescore and Ten The home of Mrs. Rachel Webb was the scene of much merriment on the evening of June 29th, when her children informed a few of her friends and the Priscilla Art Club that she had attained the age of 70 years. While she attended the Washington recital the friends gathered with the children and family and prepared to stage a delightful surprise. On her return she entered the parors to find them filled with a gay party to make happy her gifts with beautiful flowers, gifts and a huge cake decorated with 70 tiny pink candles embedded in roses. Everything had been done so secretly that Mrs. Webb was truly surprised and rather than be rendered dumb with amazement she became most talkative and entertaining, citing poetical verses and proving herself the center of much witticism. When the cake was presented, she lit a taper and passed it to each of the friends, who in turn lit the candles each one extending best wishes and good health for years to come to her who had served her friends and the community with each other in making the occasion one long to be remembered. During the evening instrumental music was rendered by Miss Emma Rodgers, solos by Mrs. Annie Baker Fisher and Miss Fannie Mine Coldling, a humorous reading by Mrs. Georgia Paigy and to the delight of all Mrs. Webb sang a solo in her clear, sweet voice which has never failed to captivate her hearsers. The program ended with the choruses of "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and "Auld Lang Syne". The guest of honor and others were served delicieous refreshments and cocktails by Meshames Nancie P. Jackson and Madeline S. Norenco which had been previously presented by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Paige, Mr. Wm. T. Coldling, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Coldling and Miss Fannie Mine Coldling. As the hour of midnight drew near the guest lathfully departed leaving behind them their best wishes for many happy returns of the day for Mrs. Rachel E. Webb.

At a few years ago there was a demand for two or three types of nurses. Today nurses are taking larger places in the life of social nursing activities. In three great movements the nurse today plays an important part—public health hospital social service, and household nursing. The public health movement did not occur.

P)—A quantity of ore found three feet down by a worker at Riverwood resort, recently opened by a group of Chicago leading Negro business men, has been found by chemists of the Illinois Steel company to contain 49 per cent of iron, and 40 acres, is 58 miles from Chicago, on the Kankakee river, and has already become popular as an amusement center for the city folks on holidays. Practically all the lots into which the forty acres were subdivided have been sold, the purchasers living at the resort over the week-ends, specially for the Chicago editor of the Chicago Defender, is one of the most enthusiastic buckers of the holiday "nook." work—nursing the sick and teaching personal hygiene and sanitation.

The Guide Publishing Co. Intercorporated. 711 Highland Ave. Phone 23100 According to the estimates of officials of organized labor, there, in the United States, approximately 165 local unions, representing 6,000 Negro workmen, which are directly a-liated with the American Federation of Labor. These figures do not include musicians, stage hands, and other organized theatrical workers, who are largely employed in the theaters which cater, principally, to Negro patronage. A glimpse of the thirteen of these 165 local unions is enlightening, geographical location shows that there is a dual work to be done in the office of organizing Negro labor. Transportation hands, of varied descriptions, such as coach and car cleaners, freight handlers, shipyard workers, train porters, mechanics' helpers, station porters, platform men, and mail and baggage handlers, comprise the bulk of the 6,000 organized laborers. Winston-Salem, N. C., beaks of a hair-dressers' union, in good and active standing with the A. F. and L. The unions are located, principally, in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, S. Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. In some cases, only seven members comprise the total membership of a local; the coach cleaners of St. Louis, Mo., and the baggage handlers of Philadelphia, Pa., and Washington, D. C., with a total membership, each of 250, bear off the palms for numerical strength. In the onward march of organized labor, the time is over-rive for real live representation in the parent-body. Where are the iron and steel workers, the automobile hands, the building construction men, etc.? Is hair-dressing more important, and the artisans of real labor to play second fiddle to domestic workers and designers of "blues" melodies? We, this ought not to be. We advocate organization regardless of union doors—and its windows, too—and let there be union, first, and petty personalities or prejudice and jealousy last, if at all. Where Negro labor cannot gain ready admission to the local union, let it create another local, clothed with all the official authority of any union in the land, and recognizable, both in council and out of council. That's real organization we think. While dissecting the aftermath of the Cleveland Convention, and wondering whether the Democratic Convention will be equipped with balloon tires and four-wheel brakes, the office door was gently opened and two clean-cut Japanese gentlemen, after making a dignified bow, sauntered over to the old rallied-top desk. "We seek information on the Negro problem," the spokesman said, quietly, with a scarcely perceptible smile, and in a stumbling flow of speech. "That's easy," we thought, as we shot a five-minute lecture at the Oriental who listened attentively, and nodded their heads in an obscure way. "But, please tell us," the spokesman said: "Do Negroes speak a separate language? What is be- Lessons taught—Diplomas Electric Massaging, Hair Doing, Special scalp treatment. All modern improvements.

Do they vote in this country? Are they well organized Are there many interracial movements, looking to their welfare? What do Negroes think of the immigration act excluding Japanese? Is there any anti-American movement among Negroes?" Please notice the sequential trend in the queries of the Japanese interrogators, who, the conversation developed, are students at one of America's largest universities, from which, by the way, Negroes are positively excluded. We stopped clicking the camera in genuine amazement at the questions of the clever Japanese. Here were two human examples of the little yellow men across the sea, who, after an almost ludicrous question, as starter, considering the intelligence with which they were possessed closed with it thoughts which but few Americans have given any consideration. And Japan wants to know what American Negroes are thinking about. We assured the clever students that there was no American movement among the Negroes (we omitted formerly the K. K. K), that of us here are Americans used and true; that interracial committees. North and South, are doing intelligently and effectively with interracial difficulties; and that Negro education is making wonderful grids. Hanging our heads, we had to admit that the voting Negro population could be considerably swelled, especially where "grandfather" clauses are popular; and that there could be much improvement in interracial relation in America. And when we had finished answering the questions in good, true American style, and had proudly stuck our thumbs in our vest pockets, the clever Japanese asked whether the Negro birth-rate exceeded the Negro death rate. We asked them to call again, when we were not so busy. Oh, the Japanese want to know what we are doing over here? Why? Why? WHY? Never before have so many factions invaded the political arena as appear to be in our midst this year. Political reconstruction is surely without our gates, and, according to each factional leader, we are dwelling in the tents of wickedness.

P); Dr. Cheates Clark, of 1338 Bainbridge street, was separated from $13.00 permanently and his Stutz touring car temporarily this morning by two youthful bandits who met him at Twentieth and Oregon avenue and went through his pockets. Dr. Clark was making a call in the neighborhood when the two white boys came around the corner and took his pocket book from him by telling him "he would get his block knocked off if he didn't come across." Reflectantly he handed over his waist and started to get in his car. The boys asked him if it was his car and when he replied in the affirmative, they told him to get out, as they wanted to, use it for a getaway. The doctor climbed down and watched the robbers start down Oregon avenue. He made a complaint to the police of the Forty-first district, who found the car four blocks from where it had been taken. Neither of the boys displayed a gun. Negro Policeman Attacked By Youths Washington, D. C., June 26.—(P. N. S.) Policeman C. F.

A arrest call was turned in by a man who witnessed the incident, and police reserves from the Eleventh Precinct station hurried to the scene. Licent J. L. Sprinkle arrested one of the youths. He gave his name as Leroy Richardson, of Seant Pleasant, Md. Acharge of assault was placed against him. On the other side of the District line, the police captured George Blair, also, of Seant Pleasant, and turned him over to Sheriff Fugitt. When the necessary arrangements have been made, he will be turned over to the local authorities. The injured officer was taken to Casualty hospital in the patrol and treated for a broken arm and sequestered incinerations on the head and body. Newark, N. J., June 26—(P. N. S); Charles Anthony and Mrs. Gussie Bland are in hospitals here as the result of a shooting affray Tuesday night. The shooting attracted a large crowd which threatened to mob Anthony if he did not stop shooting. Police reserves kept the crowd under control. Anthony's condition is reported as serious. Essen A. Greech was lodged in jail. He is said to have admitted to the police that he shot both Anthony and Mrs. Bland. According to the story Greech told the police, he and Anthony quarreled over the Bland woman. When the shooting began Mrs. Bland ran into the street and then into a nearby grocery store and crouched behind the counter. Greech said he followed the woman and fired three shots at her, for which he could give no reason, the police reserves from the Eleventh by persons attracted to the scene by the sound of the shooting.

He was wonderfully endowed Mentally and had he taken the pains to study the BIBLE with Patience and Meekness that he took to MALFORM and DISCREDIT It (the BIBLE), he would have KNOWN the TRUTH and the TRUTH would have made him FREE! But, say Mr. Pain: "Jesus afterwards married her (the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary) Cohabits with her as his wife, and in his (Josephs) Turn RIVALS the GHOST (meaning that Joseph begat more children by Mary than the "ghost," the Holy Ghost, and asserts the supposed virgin mother of Jesus, has several other children, sons, and daughters, and calls our attention to Matt. 13:55, 56 to have us know that the HOLY SCRIPTURES. Let us read these verses and see what they SAY, and afterwards, WHAT THEY MEAN. The verses READ. Is not this the carpenter's son and is not his mother called Mary? and his brother, James, and Jesus and Simon and Judas? and his sisters (Mary and Salome) not named in help Mr. Pain, because I know them and he does not) are they not all with us? whence then bath this man (Jesus) all these things? Mr. Paine cites this SCRIPTURE to PROVE his ASSESSION that, "the mother of Jesus had several other children, sons and daughters" in other words, that the mother of Jesus was also the mother of JAMES, JOSES, SIMON, and JUDAS (sons), and MARY and SALOME (daughters). Now he give you a key to the INTERPRETATION of this SCRIPTURAL Text cited by Mr. Paine. Here is the KEY as it is recorded in Gen. 13:8. "And Abraham, said unto LOT let there be no warriors, pray thee, because thou and thee, and between ye herdmen and thou and LOT let be (you and Abraham and LOT) be) BRETHREN. This statement on its face makes Abraham and Lot BROTHERS. But is it true that Abraham and I Lot are BROTHERS? I answer it is not TRUE: Abraham is the UNCLE of LOT and LOT is his "Abraham's" NEPHEW. The Proof for my statement that Abraham is the UNCLE of LOT is found in Gen. 11:27, and READS. "New that these are the generation of TERAH: TERAH begat Abram (Abraham), and NAIHOR and HARAN; and HARAN (Abraham's BROTHER) begat LOT. But Abramah said to LOT: WE (Abraham and Lot) BE KRIENMEN, RELATIVES. This MAN-ERISHIAM written from ABRAH has been perceptuated by the JEWISH PEOPLE until this PRESENT DAY. As we turn again to the Scripture cited by Mr. Paine, to cast aspersions and dishonor upon the Blessed Virgin Mother: We see that the Scripture is true; that the speakers are all JEWS and talking to JEWS about a JEW (Jesus), after the fashion of their MANNHEISM WHY NOT JOIN THE FLOWERS WHY NOT JOIN THE FLOWERS Receive a bunch each week.

Then says the sacred Account: "Ife (Jesus) went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them (his parents). With this incident, the Scriptures finish with Joseph and nothing further is recorded of him. How long he lived thereafter, whether he was living or dead at the time of the Crucifixion the Holy Record does not say. But this is what happened at the time of the Crucifixion: SAYS THE HOLY RECORD: "Now There stood By the Cross of Jesus His Mother And His Mothers Sister, MARY THE WIFE OF CLEOAS, And Mary Magdalene. When Jesus Therefore Saw His Mother And The Disciple (JOHN), BEHOLD THY MOTHER! And From That Hour That Disciple Took Her Into Home. Here Jesus expresses no Provision for him and no sons and daughters. In the of the opinion that Joseph was dead at this time. Had he been living there would have been no Orcasion for John to so RUTHLESSLY have taken for Joseph was a "JUST MAN". It is Comended by scholars and Commentators that Mary, lived and died at the home of the Apostle JOHN. No mention is made of "other children". Were there "Other children"? some mention would be made of them just as mention is made of the children of Illustrious men and women in our day; not only of their sons daughters but all of their RELATIONMENT.

NOTE: The Society Beauties and Stage Beauties of Our Race all use this Beautifier, Colleen Smith, John Edwards, Grace Gibson, Fernando Jiménez, Jean Hays, when they said: "and his brethren (kinsmen) James and Jones, and Simon and Judas." They only meant his (Jesus)' RELATIVES on his mother's side. This is also true of Mary and Salome his (Jesus) sisters (kinsmen). Now the truth of the matter is this: JAMES and JOSES, and SIMON and JUDAS and MARY and SALOME (their sisters) are the children of MARY, a SISTER of the virgin M A R Y whose HUSBAND was CLEOPAS. The RELATIONSHIP here involved is that these persons named here COUSINS of JESUS on His side. I said that the Blessed Virgin also had a SISTER custom named Mary—another custom with the JEWISH people to have two children in opp family of the same name. I bear out my statement by quoting John 19:25: "Now, there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas. And Matt. 27:55, 56, says: "And many women were there holding after off; which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him among which was, Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Jones, and the mother of Zebedee's children. Mark that one of these texts says that Mary is the WIFE of Cleopas, and another says, that Mary (wife of Cleopas) is the mother of 'James and Jones' and you have my case which is that, Mary (sister to the Virgin) and Cleopas are the parents of James and Jones, and Simeon and Judas and Mary and Salome. Now, DID JOSEPH RIVAL THE GHOST? A reflection more and I close this paragraph. The Scriptures mention little information about Joseph. After his return from Egypt, after the death of Herod, no mention of any kind is made of Joseph for ten or eleven years; not until he and Mary went up to Jerusalem to keep the Paschal, at which time Jesus was 12 years old. Having fulfilled the Paschal days they returned, but Jesus carried behind in Jerusalem; "Joseph and his mother knew not of it", "supposing him, to have been in the company, went a day's journey, then they sought him among his kinfolk and acquaintance. After three days they him in the Temple as Joseph sitting in the middle of the doctors both before them and asking questions. Being informed by his mother that she and Joseph (his father) had sought for him deeply disreserved, furnished the occasion for him (Jesus) to declare indirectly that JOSEPH WAS NOT HIS FATHER. He replied: Why did YE seek me? DID YE NOT KNOW THAT I MUST BE IN THE Courts of MY FATHER? Joseph possessed no "Courts"; the In Your Hair and Skin End'D?

PAGE ELEVEN 117 GET DIVORCES IN SINGLE MONTH Philadelphia Court Sets High Mark for Untieing the Marriage Knot in Quaker City. Philadelphia, Pa., June 26.—(A. N. P.) Aside from the being month of brides, it appears from the court records that it is a month of divorces. One man claims as a ground for divorce that has wife just grants at him, when he speaks; another on the same day in the same court states that his wife talks too much. And so you have it. In a single day 117 decrees were signed. It happened this way. Captain 'Johnny' as he is called, because he has been for a number of years employed at Erechofer's Bakery, and has charged of a gang, carried his money home and trusted friend wife to bank his roll. It all went well. Captain 'Johnny' was known to brage at work about his home and all that goes to make it. Imagine his surprise when he reached home from work, weary and heavy laden, expected to be greeted by his dear one, when instead he found a note on the dining room table stating that she had got all she desired (8500 from the bank) and was gone. "You need another wife," she wrote, for "I'm gone." Did she strut? Well, she didn't do nothing else but.

When the Third party and LaFollette get here in July, will they change the political map so that all discontented partisans can find safe and satisfactory place on it? Japan, China, East India, and Russia are said to be drawing closer together to meet the "Nordic" policy of subordinating them in the administration of their own and the world affairs. The present tendency in world politics is distinctly volcanic and disquieting The efforts of Southern planters to get white alien labor to replace the migrant Negro labor which it has failed to appreciate are not meeting with any howling success. And nobody expects the Arkansas planters to change their operating system, as an expert has advised. They will prefer to continue to lose their Negro labor which, once it moves to the city, is said not to desire to move back to the farm. It stands to reason. More's the pity, that the white planter Ephriams of the South are joined so hopelessly to their idols of rule and rob. Perhaps if Harry Wills had knocked the light out of Bartley Madden instead of battering him into pulp the sports writers would have conceded his right to meet Jack Dempsey. The race and color bar is a nasty thing and should not be tolerated in the United States. The Jews have had to fight it for quite two thousand years and they are still fighting it not only in Europe but in the United States. It is a pity that we should have to fight it, but having to do it we should not flinch in so doing. Perhaps we may become a better and stronger people because of the necessity of having to fight for what we get. Particularly should Virginians be proud of Seminary. It is a home institution supported wholly by the race, and its influence is nationwide, extending even unto the foreign fields. There has been much comment recently on the lack of educated colored ministers in proportion to the population. The institution at Lynchburg is doing a praiseworthy work towards making up the need, and its usefulness can be increased manifold thru more interest and more effort by Virginians. The State Federation is calling for memberships. The numerous women's clubs in this city whose main purpose is social, will find a wonderful opportunity for useful work by joining the federation and contributing to the worthy projects it institutes from time to time. Especially is it needful that the Girl's Home at Peake be given larger support because it fills an indispensable place in the program of saving the girls. Norfolk Journal and Guide P. B. YOUNG.....President and Editor H. C. YOUNG.....Secretary and Asso. Editor CLIPTON L. WILLIAMS.....City Editor T. THOMAS FORTUNE.....Contributing Editor The segregation decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, affirming the legality of neighborhood agreements not to sell property to Negroes was promptly appealed to the Supreme Court. The segregation fever has broken out violently in California, with mob violence, bombing and confiscation of property of Negroes by councilmanic ordinance, and the end seems not yet. We have got to fight the fever to the finish wherever it appears. $50,000 For Virginia Seminary Virginia State Baptists are holding a Substantial Jubilee—seven year celebration—at the Seminary in Lynchburg this week. The financial plan calls for $50,000 for that institution. That the money will be raised, there is not much doubt. Few Baptists or non-Baptists, for that matter, would be ro recrent to the obligation that rests upon the race to educate its own as to refuse to contribute to the support of Virginia Theological Seminary and College. The Seminary has been peculiarly honored by those who have studied amidst its walls. By far the larger portion of its graduates have attained prominence in the denomination and the communities they have served. Every Baptist and non-Baptist should hope that the Sabbatical Jubilee will be crowned with unprecedented success. The State Federation of Women's Clubs The State Federation of Women's Clubs which is holding a most interesting annual session in this city this week is composed of a group of women who have banded themselves together to work for the uplift of their race. A concrete example of the result of their efforts is the Home for Colored Girls at Peake, Va. Slightly less important is the support they have given national movements of race interest, and the good they have done in fostering better race relations. Conspicuous examples of individual feminine heroism illumine the pages of history, but never was there a time when colored women banded themselves together with so earnest a purpose and took so considerable a part in the working out of the race's problems as now. And our group can point to no stronger augury for its future progress than the activities of these women. Riding Down The Old Guard Mr. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, the Secretary to the President, did not like the way Chairman Butler rode down and crushed out the Old Guard and the deadly Senatorial Dictatorship, in his management of the Cleveland Convention, because Mr. Slemp is a very shrewd politician and didn't believe Mr. Butler's methods good for the party. The President listened to Mr. Slemp, but has said nothing, while it was given out that Mr. Slemp was appeased and would be a member of the Advisory Committee which the President will appoint to manage the campaign, and that the Old Guard and the Senatorial Dictatorship will "receive consideration." We have a mind that Mr. Slemp and the President were in agreement with the smashing policy carried out with a high hand by Chairman Butler, and that all of the bother about it, with Mr. Slemp for buffer, has been indulged in to soften the knock down and out of the Old Guard and the Senatorial Dictatorship which turned down most of the administration measures of the President and not only strove, by discrediting these measures in the Congress to bring the President into disrepute with the people but to prevent, if possible, his nomination at Cleveland. Why should not the President's manager, at Cleveland, do unto the rebels as they had striven to do unto the President." As for the Afro-American Republicans, they are glad that the Old Guard and the Senatorial Dictatorship have been thrown into the junk heap, and they hope for a new leadership and a new policy towards them under the leadership of President Coolidge and the new men he will draw about him in the control and management of party affairs. We believe we had a gesture of it in the way things affecting us went at Cleveland and we hope a real sweep in the same direction as we go along. "The Voice of the People" is the New Despotism People who live in the vicinity of volcanoes never worry about the lurking dangers that always menace them. They live in fancied security, as the people of Noah's time are said to have done, while he built the Ark of Safety. It was only when the heavens were opened and the waters came down that they became alive to their danger; so it is when a slumbering volcano wakes up and gets busy. When the thunders of the American Revolution were still in abeyance, Patrick Henry declared that "it is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope." We all do that even now. We want that thing to be which we desire, and are hard to convince that it cannot so be. In taking a comprehensive survey of the discontent with political and economic conditions which prevail in all lands, and which are sapping the foundations of Christian civilization, and which he calls "The New Despotism," A. Washington Pezet, writing in the May number of The Forum, does not strike the disquieting notes of the alarmist; he rather strikes the note of the philosophic observer, and thus appeals to the spirit of inquiry rather than of alarm. He correctly says that the high state of civilization to which we have attained is due to scientific research, not by the average person but by a few men, who have moved us forward so far that the average person has been unable to follow and is stupified rather than enlightened by the new world into which science has plunged him. We see this to be true in the way people rush into the possession and enjoyment of every new creation of pleasure, amusement or service. Until some new thing is created they toy with the new thing as a child toys with fire, and are often badly injured by their ignorance and excesses. But while the scientists have opened new worlds to us and made our civilization one of the most resplendent in the history of mankind, the science of government has not advanced with equal celerity; it has rather remained stagnant; we have changed our cry of triumph from "Long live the King" to "Long live the people," and the people are little more capable of ruling than the kings were, selfishness and greed being the motivation of both sorts. "What such persons see," says Mr. Pezet, "is a mirage. Our democracy is a delusion." "The voice of the people" is really the voice of the politicians who forget nothing and learn but little of the science of government. The new despotism is the rule of public opinion, directed largely by the politicians, who have a selfish purpose always to serve, and serve it. We call it "democracy." "the voice of the people," which the people speak through the politicians. It all amounts to ignorant masses dominated by politicians ignorant of the real science of government and in defiance of the abounding civilization which the scientists have created for us, which the politicians do not understand and are placing in imminent peril by their ignorance and selfishness. Nobody knows better than Afro-Americans the horrors of the rule of vicious public opinion which makes and fouls law and legal process. A Legislative Boomerang Legislation designed to benefit special classes invariably proves a boomerang and the tendency in legislative bodies is decidedly against this sort of lawmaking. But it frequently occurs that in the zeal to appease certain elements a flagrant disregard of the inalienable rights of others is noted and ludicrious class legislation becomes a fact. Such is the McCotter law imposing a license tax of $5,000 on labor agents soliciting employees for work outside of the state. Designed specifically to check the migration of colored laborers from Virginia and aid the farmers, without regard to the rights of labor to move freely from place to place without the interference of indirectly imposed legal inhibitions, it now threatens to place a stranglehold on the shipping interests of the Port of Hampton Roads. If the courts should hold to the literal interpretation of this law, signing marine labor at this port will be out of the question, unless the shipping interests elect Norfolk Journal and Guide to pay a $5,000 license fee in each and every case. But the shipping interests will not be the only group to suffer. The law will react to the injury of the farmers themselves, because it contains a provision which makes it a misdemeanor for a farm laborer to fail to work out the terms of his bargain with the farmer after accepting a consideration of value. One or two jail sentences under this provision will make bargaining to labor on Virginia farms too risky a venture to attract field workers. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE pointed out at the time this law was enacted that it came perilously close to conflicting with the Federal Constitution. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot in an editorial under the caption, "A Sump-tuary Labor Law," reprinted in another column on this page seems inclined to that view. The Unloaded Pistol Death is but death, and when it garners one to his eternal abode the physical void left on earth is the same regardless of the caste or position held in life by the departed, or the medium thru which the leave taking was effected. But human nature is so constituted that our sympathies are deeply touched when the reaper, working thru what it appears could have been an entirely avoidable tragedy, takes off a youthful and seemingly promising life. The killing of young Bogan, of Hamlet, N. C., a graduate flush from college, by a bullet accidentally discharged from a pistol in the hands of his devoted father, forms one of those tragedies that arouse wide-spread sympathies. It were better for the grieved family and friends if future mention of the sad accident was never made. But in order that what appears as needless waste of life may be guarded against, and to save other parents from similar mental agony, attention cannot be too strongly called to the danger of handling supposedly unloaded weapons. Stories of "unloaded" pistol tragedies have been repeated ever since the invention of fire arms, still these "harmless" guns continue to add to the tombstones. A pistol in the home should be there for only one purpose—family protection. The practice of demonstrating, examining and otherwise fooling with them has reaped a heavy death toll. As play toys in the hands of curious children they have recorded a long casualty list. Will people ever learn that pistols are not to be fooled with, and the supposedly unloaded one is never unloaded until its every chamber is counted empty a dozen times, if need be? Spirit of the Press The Virginia General Assembly ventured upon dangerous ground when it passed the McCotter bill imposing a tax of 55,000 on labor agents soliciting employees for work outside the State. The law was clearly directed at those representatives of outside industries whose activities had encouraged the migration of colored workers from Virginia farms during the spring and summer of 1923, and was intended to help solve the farm labor problem. But such a measure is more likely to injure agriculture than to help it. Farm work requires satisfied and contented laborers as much as factory work, and no labor will be satisfied and contented when it knows that the door of opportunity has been closed in its face by the imposition of artificial restrictions. In spirit and in fact the McCotter bill represents an unwarranted interference with inalienable personal rights appertaining to every worker. An agricultural labor supply maintained on such a basis is a labor supply of doubtful value and of doubtful duration. But the damaging effect of the McCotter law on this score remains for a longer experience to demonstrate. Its damaging effect on another score, in which Norfolk is particularly interested, has already become apparent. The framers of the law, in their zeal to keep all workers in Virginia free from the toils of the labor agents, failed to exclude shipping masters from the operation of the statute. As a result shipping masters of Norfolk and Newport News are faced with the prospect of paying a $5,000 fee or having to go out of business. Anxious to prevent such an unfortunate occurrence, shipping interests have united with the Maritime Exchange to convince the Attorney General that a proper interpretation of the law does not require its application to the recruiting of crews for merchant vessels. But the Attorney General's ruling has been against this view and unless his opinion can be reversed when a test case is brought in the courts, shipping masters are in danger of having to suspend until the legislature meets again and amends the law. Perseverance Life is one great adventure. It is full of thrills from the cradle to the grave. The innocent babe, in its eagerness to gain some coveted prize, reaches out and up for it, misses and falls. He cries a little, perhaps, if he is hurt as well as disappointed, but his tears are soon dried, and the chubby手 essaying its infant adventure once more, wins and gurgles its baby joy. In youth and manhood we win and lose; we rise and fall; we laugh and cry. When maturity comes, if we retain the optimism and the grit of the baby in the cradle we try again, and if our arms are not too short, our strength too weak, our spirits unimpaired, we make one desperate final dash for our goal, and our fellows admiring the virtue of tenacity and perseverance, clear the track and let us sweep by and on to the objective for which they feel we have special aptitude. "No rock is so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years." Something to Ponder Over "The greatest thing in life is one's attitude towards it." These words once uttered by former Dean L. H. Bailey, of the College of Agriculture, Cornell University, are fraught with the deepest significance. They should be memorialized and frequently thought over by every man, woman and child. Another way of saying the same thing is that what really counts is how we look at life, how we act in our present position be it humble or exalted. To learn to make the best of untoward circumstances, to accept disappointments in a spirit of "I will try again" is an attitude towards life that it will pay anyone to cultivate. A man's life in its broadest aspects, cannot be judged by the number of honors he wins nor the degree of prominence he attains in this world. Some obscure individual may be exerting such a great influence for good upon his neighbors that his life is of far more importance than that of his well-known brother. "I remember reading some time ago a statement made by Prof. Commons of the University of Wisconsin to the effect that the Teutonic race, until 500 years after Christ, were exceedingly primitive in their civilization, yet had mental qualities which made it possible for them to absorb the highest Roman civilization. And I was particularly impressed with the assertion that, 'Could their babies have been taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes and schools of modern Americi, they would have covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries.' "Blooah, a native African, as black as midnight, has actually done what Prof. Commons conjured the natives of the Teutonic race might have done had they been taken out of the forests 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the the home and schools of modern America. He has actually covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries. "How impatient we are with the Negro. Only sixty years out of slavery; yet we expect him to measure up to the very highest standards of white world culture. And because he sometimes fails to do this, we jump to the conclusion that he is inherently, and there fore permanently, inferior being who may be tolerated only if he 'Keens His Place.'

The Largest Negro Life Insurance Company in the World C. C. SPAULDING, Pres. J. M. AVERY, Secretary Durham. N. C. E. M. MITCHELL District Manager REVIEW And COMMENT REVIEW And COMMENT It would be irritating, if it weren't funny, to hear the Southern white man, whether he be priest, prophet or layman, continuously attempting to serve notice on the rest of the world that it is he and those of his section who alone hold the nostrum for dosing the so-called race problem in this country. It is peculiarly true that Southern white have arrogated unto themselves all of the knowledge about the colored man and the capacity to direct his destinies for his own benefit. This column has held all along that the race question still holds the Northern and Southern Methodist churches apart, just as sure as it brought about the separation eighty years ago. If anyone had become ready to accept the idea that Christianity, working thru three-quarters of a century, had removed the edge from the knife that effected a cleavage in these two bodies, they have but to read the statement of five bishops of the M. E. Church, South, to experience a change of mind. Hear Bishops Warren A. Candler, Collins Denny, U. V. W. Darlington, W. N. Ainsworth and James F. Dickey: "Moreover the plan proposes a relation to the Negro not best for him and not possible for us. It calls for the acceptance by our people of two Negro bishops." Ah, there is the ruh. If every single objection to unification except that one were removed, the two churches would still remain apart, unless the Northern church acceded to the Southern idea on the point raised in the statement accredited to the Big Eve. But the bishops' objection of two Negro bishops in their connection does not concern us as much as the assertion, "not best for himself." There is the point. We wonder when these five ecclesiastics were called to the ministry if God endowed them with special gifts of knowing what is best for the Negro. Did he tell them that to recognize Negro bishops in the same relation as themselves would profane His name? I suppose that the five bishops of the M. E. Church, Saturday, June 28, 1924 South, are convinced that there'll be no Negro-angel bishops flying around their dioceses in Heaven. "The Negro's Place" BY REV. ERNEST FREEMONT TITLE In. The Indianapolis, Sunday Star "Well, you say, that may have been possible in the case of the Teutonic race, but it is by no means possible in the case of the Negro race. You might say that if you did not know Blooah. "Glancing through a pamphlet published by Garrett Biblical Institute, I read with great surprise that the father of one of its students had been a 'village warrior'. I learned later that this student was a young African named Blooah; and that he had a perfectly fascinating lecture entitled 'From Cocoonat Tree to College; and that this lecture was the perfectly true story of his own life. For he was, quite literally, up in a cocoonat tree when he caught sight of the first white man whom either he or any member of his tribe had ever seen; and today he is doing post-graduate work in an American theological school. What is the Negro's 'place "The youngest student ever to receive the degree of Ph.D. D. from the University of Pennsylvania, was Harris F. Blackstone, a Negro. "In 1922, second on the list of 200 young medical students examined for internships at Cook County Hospital was Dr. Walter S. Grant, a Negro. "What then is the Negro's place? "We men and women of the white race have treated the Negro badly enough, God knows. We have laid violent hands upon him and taken him from his home in Africa to serve us here as a heaver of wood and a drawer of water in America. We have debaunched his women folks and then branded him as unmoral. We have in many instances, kept him in ignorance and then pronounced him hopelessly stupid. President Moton of Tuskegee is authority for the statement that for 2,000,000 Negro children in the United States, there are, even yet, no educational facilities provided. We have treated the Negro badly enough. Has not the time now come for us to give him a fair chance? "In his eloquent volume, 'The Souls of Black Folk,' Burghardt Dubois says that 'through all the sorrow of the Negro's songs there breathes hope, a faith in the ultimate justice of things. Some times it is a faith of life. Sometimes a faith of death. Some times an assurance of boundless justice in some fair world beyond. But whatever it is, the meaning is always clear—that some time it some where, men will judge men by their souls and not by their skins." "Has not the time come for us to judge the Negro by his soul—his demonstrated capacity for cultural achievements—and give him a chance to reveal what his true 'Place' is in the future of civilization."
