ANNUAL SALE OF CHRISTMAS SEALS BEGINS NOV.28 The Seal This Year Is Unusually Artistic and Attractive "Health" Indicates Enlargement of the T. B. Movement The Annual Sale of Christmas Seals will open November 28th. and the posters and seals for the 1924 sale have just been received by Dr. Chas. R. Grandy, Chairman for Norfolk. This seal is the most artistic ever produced in all the 17 years during the annual seal sale has become a recognized and popular institution. It is done in beautiful shades of red, blue and gold. It is printed on better paper, than ever before. The adhesive material on the back is more efficient and the seals are guaranteed to stick. The color process is a perfect lithographing job. The seals are so artistic as to be the equal of any commercial seals ever put on the market and advertising experts declare they should sell readily merely for their decorative value. The design contains the words "Health, Christmas, 1924." The red doubled-barred cross on a white shield, bordered in red symbolizes the world-wide movement for the prevention of tuberculosis in which are enrolled the International Union against Tuberculosis, the National Tuberculosis Association, 48 State associations and about 2,000 local associations. This campaign has resulted in a saving of millions of lives throughout the world and in the United States alone has effected a reduction in the death rate in the past 15 years from 202 per hundred thousand to 97. This is the greatest life saving work in which the local association is a participant. At the left of the seal there is a women's figure clad in gold drapery, holding aloft a torch which symbolizes the hope that has been brought to mankind through the successful efforts of the public health Movement—a message to the ill that tuberculosis can be cured and to the well that it can be prevented. The word "Health" on the seal indicates the enlargement of the tuberculosis movement into a general work for the betterment of public health in all directions. The health program is based on the theory that any educational effort or sanitary measure that tends to improve general health conditions or to prevent any form of disease leads to the eradication of tuberculosis. The seal was designed by a celebrated artist, George W. Curtis, of New York. Milbourne Admits Slaying of Ching Leonardtown, Md., Nov. 26—(P. N. S.)—John L.

A You have shown wisdom by saving a little each week for that Christmas saving check—now what better way can you invest it than putting into a lot at Lincoln Park or Oakwood Terrace? This section has been set apart for the better class of Colored people. Lots are three to four times the size of ordinary city lots and yet they don't cost nearly as much, although you can have city water, electric lights and concrete sidewalks. All are high and dry and some of them are selling as low as $375 and on easy terms. Remember as long as you pay rent you are buying a home for some one else—why not for yourself? Rent is one bill, no matter how much you pay, it doesn't stay paid. The surest way to get rid of it is to start buying your home-site. This will be laying the cornerstone for your future home. The time to start is right now. Call at 16 Arcade Building or phone 27934 and ask for Mr. Bartlett or Mr. Sullivan. They will be glad to call on you, show you this section and talk the matter over with you. They have started lots of people on the road to success and happiness. EMANCIPATION ASSO.

In Memoriam Mrs. Lassie Riley Nov. 26, 1922 THE SCRAPPING BOOKERS STILL ON THEIR RAMPAGE Annexes Two Games In Less Than Two Weeks; Downs Norcom In a Lazy Grid Melee. The scrapping Bookers struck their regular stride Tuesday at League Park when they downed Elizabeth City State Normal eleven to the discordant notes of 20-0 on a slippery field that made running somewhat difficult. The Washington squad showing a marked improvement since the lop-sided game with Norcom across the "Lizzy," hit on all eleven and came very near making the Carolina aggregation look silly. However, State Normal hit repeatedly for short gains, but not enough to register more than three first downs, while the locals ripped and tore holes in the former's wall of defense. Nearly every scrub on the bench got a chance to get a taste of the gore and State Normal found the same difficulty in penetrating the Booker's line tellingly. All the first string men fought hard to prevent the visitors from Childless Marriages Explained Every married woman should write for Free Book written by Dr. Burroughs, a graduate Physician. Dr. Burroughs has spent forty years treating women, for diseases peculiar to their sex and in his book tells why so many married women have been denied the blessing of children—why they are broken down physically in early life. This book is written in plain language and tells how pain and suffering, so common with women, may be overcome, and the blessing of becoming, a mother be granted by the use of a simple home treatment. Dr Burroughs wants every married woman to have a copy of his book, so if you will send your name and address it will be mailed to you in plain wrapper absolutely Free, with postage paid. Every woman owes it to herself and family to have good health, and this book may be the guide to show you how. Write today for your copy—it's free and places you under no obligations.

Johnson, Tynes, Coble, and Lloyd Williams bearing the brunt of the offensive in good style in the backfield. State Normal's luminaries were found in, Stith Wodhouse and Tayton who did what shining there was to be done by the losing squad. Stith proved to be hard to stop, when once started. He tore off seven and eight yards upon several occasions before being downed. The game was rather slow due to the fact that State had to hold a pow-wow preceding every signal and this had a tendency to knock a good bit of the polish off the game. Booker Washington received the kickoff on the 1-yard line and Johnson scooted for 20 yards and was overhauled. Lloyd Williams trimmed the end for fourteen and State Normal intercepted Washington's pass. Bookers held for downs and State kicked. Tynes grabbed the oval and knocked off 9 yards down the side line. The game seesawed a bit with the locals interpersing their attack with an occasional pass and the Carolina backs knock-them down pronto. Bookers Draw Blood Bookers Draw Blood The first,score came after Washington had been held for downs and kicked. State fumbled but readily recovered and booted the ball upfield on the first down. Tynes started off the attack with a little over 4 yards. Johnson followed with no gain. Washington found nothing stewing and kicked. State Normal knocked off 8-yards and followed that with a punt out, Tynes receiving the oval was nailed in his tracks. Johnson touched off the bomb and started the machine with an 8-yard gain: Ross hit and made it first down, with Cobble supplementing this with 19-yards placing ball just a fraction from the opponent's goal. Captain Cobble smashed through to draw blood but Johnson failed to make extra point. The second score followed shortly on the heels of the first, after most of the second string men were sent into the game. State fumbled on receiving a punt and the ball jumped behind her goal, and Boye proved to be a good jumper also and swooped down on the pigskin scoring the second tally. Johnson dropped kicked for extra point. The second half found State Normal entering the game very fresh and began an attack that netted two first downs, immediately before Washington tightened the second half, the Carolinians fought hard to score and to stop the rampaging Bookers who were slowly, but surely lambasting the life out of them. State completed a pass for 35 yards and pushed her way down into the locals territory, on the 12-yard line but here Washington's wall stiffened and Normal was held for downs. The ball was given to Booker Washington on its 20-yard line as the result of State's incomplete pass behind the goal. The Bookers kicked on the first down, State fumbled and Lloyd Williams recovered and started the offensive again, with 14 yards, backed up by Coble taking a pass for 20 yards and Tynes for six on a line thrust. Johnson placed the ball within easy striking distance and on the next play carried it over for the third count. The extra point was made by Coble passing to Tynes. State Normal received the kickoff, but didn't. The ball struck the opposing center and bounded back into the waiting arms of Johnson who was charging and he carried it 31 yards. Coble attempted pass, but before the ball could leave his hand his feet left him and did a flop with State's backs checking his attempt ere he gained the perpendicular. Both squads resorted to an aerial attack unavailingly and the game seesawed again. Time came in for its share and the game soon ended. B. T. W.—20 State Normal— Williams L. E. Royal Faison L. T.

BOOKERS SHOWED POOR FORM IN NORCOM GAME The scrapping Bookers were sadly off color when they downed the Norcom eleven 6-0 in a loosely played encounter at the Portsmouth League Park Thursday of last week. The Norfolk squad was unable to hit its regular stride and was miserably outplayed in nearly every department of the game. The tally was only the result of the usual breaks that come in football games and it was not really earned by the local squad. The rushing and charging a tack launched by Norcom seemed to be too much for the Bookers to stem. The Portsmouth backs repeatedly hit for good yardage with little or no difficulty, taking the ball, one time on the 20-yard line and pushing it to midfield without being stopped. Booker Washington's backs were into their own. In spite of that into the ir own. In spite of that rally, the forwards were weak in forming interference as well as unable to check the onslaught of Norcom backs. The Norcom backfield proved itself efficient ir bringing up punts and Booker Washington could not bring the runners down until they had made good advance. Late in the final quarter, Norcom threatened seriously to score and catch the lead established early in the first period by Lloyd Williams of Washington. This came when, after Norcom completed a pass for 25 yards and Washington received a 15-yard penalty placing the ball on its 21-yard line, the former completing another pass for 10 yards pushing the ball on Bookers 11-yard line. Norcom hits for 3 yards and immediately followed with three more, rushing nearer gradually, but here Washington held and kicked out of danger on the first down. Norcom started an aerial attack unavailably trying to tally before darkness ended the fray. Lloyd Williams intercepted one of these passes and the scrapping Bookers seemingly found pep somewhere and started a rush that also looked serious again for Norcom, but time stepped in for its part and the jamboree ended with Washington far down in Norcom's territory.

The Family F WINS; UNION PANTHER CLAN IN A CLO ONLY ABLE TO UNION PANTHERS CLAW TIGER CLAN IN A CLOSE STRUGGLE; ONLY ABLE TO MAKE ONE TALLY Thrilling Game Played On a Soggy Field, Break in Final Stanza Proved Undoing of St. Paul. By J. L. WHITEHEAD Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va. Nov. 22—Captain Burrell's coherent machine sprang a big surprise today by holding Union University to a 6-3 score in a brilliant and fast game that was anybody's from the initial to the final gong. St. Paul scored from a placement kick in the third period, while Union registered the touchdown midway of the final act. A downpour of rain Friday night left a muddy and slow field, so that neither the Panthers nor the Tigers reached their stride in speed, precision and relentless power. Union banked her hopes on Shields, Gross and Boffman, and although this fleety and clusive trio performed in tip-top form, they could not evade the hands of Byrd, Pierce and J. L. Williams, who penetrated the Union line at will and whose work defensively and offensively was marvelous. Not in the history of St. Paul's football have a left end, tackle and guard stopped so consistently a backfield of the calibre such as that of which Union can rightly and proudly boast. The mighty Union offense and defense was baffled and bewildered and almost collapsed, but after all was said and done the visitors found solace in the verdict that St. Paul was not outplayed but outscored. Tobin, Union's center, was the visitors' star. His work was singular. He put up a clean, hard and effective fight and carried out his assignment in every play. He is certain to land All-American center on the 1924 mythical eleven. Captain Corrothers, Barksdale, Pitts, Merritt and Anderson share the honors of the game. Byrd, St. Paul's greatest end, performed feats today that surpassed the most wierd imagination. He was down under punts, and on three occasions downed the receiver in his tracks. Cutting him down meant nothing, for four times he dumped the man with the ball after he himself was spilled. Today Jesse Byrd reigned supreme. Pierce, J. L. Williams and Tyler were in the laurel group of the classic. Tyler's punting and line plunges were excellent. J. L. Williams and Pierce shone brilliantly. The second period was a sleek royal between the stalwart linesmen of the rugged eleven, and it also exhibited a measuring of wits by the backfield men. An exchange of punts, desperate end runs and treacherous line plunges, which failed to net either team a first down, placed the ball on Union's 40-yard line in her possession. On a beautiful end run, behind perfect interference from the backfield' Boffore tote around right end for 13 yards. This was the last outstanding play and first down in the first half. The ball was in midfield in St. Paul's position when the half ended. session which St. Paul received the kick-off and was downed on her 18-yard line. An exange of punts placed the ball in St. Paul's possession in midfield. The Tiger line opened up and the interference went through and Tyler, St. Paul's sterling fullback, made 27 yards on three perfect delayed bucks. Lee added 3 yards. Walker, who retired early in the game, returned in the third period. On the first play, Walker dropped a beautiful goal from the 30-yard line from a placement kick. Union Comes From Behind In the fourth period, when it looked like St. Paul would be the victor in spite of the reliable dope to the contrary, the break came, and Union took advantage of the opportunity that each team had been waitinw for. Failing to make headway through the line or around the ends, Union kicked to St. Paul on the latter's 5 yard line. St. Paul fumbled but recovered on her 4-yard line. St. Paul failed to gain on two downs and kicked, the ball was blocked and recovered by Union just outside the 5-yard line. Shields hit for 2 yards, Boffman added 1 yard, and Allen Jackson, on a mass play through tackle, went over the final chalk line for --- PAGE FIVE G. ENGEL AND BRO. the touchdown. Union missed the extra point. Neither Union's nor St. Paul's forward pass game was spectacular. A swift wind and a slippery ball was probably the cause of mediocre work in this department. In a determined effort to score again and with an indomitable will that refused to acknowledge even the possibility of a defeat, St. Paul pinned her fate on the aerial attack. With the uncanny Walker on the throwing end and Scri伯, Jackson, Coleman, Byrd and Tyler on the receiving end, the Tigers unorked a furious forward pass assault which momentarily swept the Unionites off their feet, and simultaneously raised the hopes of the "wonder team." This spurt was short lived, for after completing two short ones, a 22 yard pass was called back and a 5 yard penalty inflicted on St. Paul with one minute to play. St. Paul punted deep into Union's territory. Two snappy plays and an attempted forward pass and the game ended with the ball in Union's possession where it will ever remain.

The Sunrise prayer meeting served as a mighty dynamo for all the services of the day. At the morning service Rev. R. H. Bowling delivered a soul-stirring sermon to a large congregation from the subject: "Gent angry at God's Mercy." Jonah 4:4. At 8 p. m., a big mass meeting was held in observance of Educational Week. Prof. Wm. W. Sanders, State Supervisor of Negro Education of West Virginia was the principal speaker. He certainly delivered a fine address, one that met the hearty approbation of all present. West Virginia is a ahead of Virginia in that respect, for we have no such official in Virginia. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended organizations conducted their respected services enthusiastically and efficiently. The Sunday school is having a popularity contest with another local-Sunday school and both schools are very keen as to who will prove to be the most popular young lady. Supt. Watkins says that First Baptist has the victorious lady while Supt. Madison, of Second Calvary, declares that his school has the very one. The great women's organization, the Tents, was out for its annual sermon, as usual- Rev. Bowling measured up to the occasion and preached an able sermon subject: "A Great Woman," II Kings 4:8. This message struck home to every heart and that multitude of women went away conscious of the elements that make a great woman. BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH What proved to be a very warming up sermon that kept his hearers wide-awake with interest was delivered before a large congregation at the Bank Street Church, Sunday morning. The pastor's subject, "The Church's Mission to Persuade Men to Christ," II Cor 5:11, was treated in a way that proved it to be an unanswerable argument against backsliders, hypocrites and lukewarm followers of Christ. Rev. Long dealt powerfully with prayer as a means of persuading men to Christ, aided by Christian song and the preaching of the Gospel. The speaker referred feelingly in his sermon to an interview with "Dixie Slater" recently convicted of murder and sentenced to die in the electric chiar. He spoke of Slater as a man industrially trained to render useful service to his race and to the community, but who was brought to the sad fate confronting him all because he had started out wrong and had turned a deaf ear to the voice of righteousness which alone is able to restrain from a tendency toward wickedness and crime to which the sinful are prone. Rev. Long declared that card table, the dance hall and the corn liquor habits are among the ingenious and deft devices of the devil to drag men downward into the cesspool, of utter damnation. A noticeable feature of the program was the fine spirited singing by the regular Bank Street choir. DAVID KING BIBLE CLASS DAVID KING BIBLE CLASS The special committee under the leadership of Mr. Preston Churchill is appealing to all the former members of the class to return and take an active part in the Sunday school. This class takes a very active part in all the works of the S. S. and is one of the largest and best classes. It is composed of some of the best men of the church and community in general. It does not only confine its members to the Baptist Church but to men of all denominations who desire to connect themselves with the Sunday school. A hearty welcome is extended to you to join the Sunday school and a special invitation to join the David King Bible class. This Sunday a picture will be taken of the class and the president has urged all members and those that have been former members to GRACE P. E.

The entertainment committee has secured the services of a converted Jew to speak in a big mass meeting under the auspices of the David King Bible Class for the latter part of December, and to make this meeting a success we are asking the hearty co-operation of all members of the class. The business meetings are held every 2nd and fourth Tuesday night at the Community Center at 8 o'clock. Interesting lessons are being taught every Sunday in this class by Mr. M. E. Diggs. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH Services last Sunday were full of inspiration and helpfulness. It was indeed a busy day. At 11 a.m., the pastor delivered a souls stirring sermon on "The Cross," Gal. 6:14. At 2 p. m., the funeral of two aged members of the church was followed by the S. S. Bible Band and at 7:30 p. m., the Phyllis Wheatley Circle and Sons of Norfolk Thanksgiving service and sermon. The three Leagues held most interesting meetings. The Juniors presented a program. Mrs. Edith Martin, of Portsmouth led the Seniors. Her presentation of the topic: "Stewardship: Our Time and Service" was unique and a large number took part. Mrs. Johnnie Churchill, the sweet singer charmed those present with her very fine rendition of Kipling's Recessional. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The church is progressing nicely along all lines and enthusiasm prevails in every department. The pastor, Rev. Johnson, is preaching splendid sermons, he being greeted at every service by an appreciative audience. The Family Four Quartet worshipped with us last Sunday and rendered very beautiful selections. The Shiloh and Mt. Olive congregations will hold union services here on Thanksgiving Day. Rev. Johnson will preach the sermon and the Shiloh male choir will furnish the music. The Missionary Circle met at the Church Wednesday night and after routine business was dispensed with entered into the discussion of "The Duty of Mothers To Their Children." All present enjoyed the meeting. The Willing Workers met at the residence of Mrs. Mayo, Avenue C, where an excellent meeting had and needle work was engaged in. Refreshments were served at the close of the session. The Ladies' Aid Society met with Mrs. Hawkins, Hale street, where arrangement were perfected for a needle work exhibit. The hostess served a delicious repast to all present. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH We had a large audience present at all the services of the Metropolitan Church during last Sunday. The Sunday school was very interesting with a program from the Primary Department. At 11 o'clock the pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon from the text, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." At 7:30 o'clock, Rev. A. F. Lightfoot, of Pittsburgh, Pa., delivered an excellent sermon, to a large audience. MT. LEBANON-BAPTIST CHURCH The early morning prayer meeting was full of spiritual fervor. The Sunday school went over the top with the pastor's class holding the banner. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor gave us a message long to be remembered from the text, "Hallowed be Thy Name." The B. Y. P. U. is marching on to the front. At night the pastor delivered a special sermon to the married men and they were present in large numbers. He took his text from Eph. 5:25. The church is progressing in every way. Next Sunday being the fifth Sunday the Missionary Circle will be in charge all day. Rev. Askew Still A Baptist Rev. J. R. Askew, who during the past year or so has been affiliating with the Methodists, announces that he has now returned to the Baptists. Rev. Askew was licensed to preach in the Baptist Church but was later induced to serve the Methodists. His return to the denomination of his first faith, he says, was occasioned by his increasing belief in the Baptist doctrines and principles. REV. HARRIS SPOKE ON MORAL PROBLEMS AT SUNDAY'S SERVICE Also Stressed How People Could Live Better; Used Times of New Testament As An Illustration. Speaking to a good congregation last Sunday morning at Grace P. E. Church, Rev. Harris used as his text Galatians 2:20, making a strong plea for the spirit of Christ as a true solution to moral problems. He began by showing that in the New Testament times obedience to the letter of the law instead of the Scripture was a great weakness. He spoke of the Sabbath and how its observance was hedged in by all kinds of petty laws. They didn't even want Christ to heal on the Sabbath. Righteousness was made to consist in obeying certain laws of tithing, fasting, etc. Christ in his emphasis upon the spirit said: "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." Paul said, "The letter killeth but the spirit makes alive." Today we are not in danger of too much emphasis upon the letter at the expense of the spirit but in danger of not having the spirit of Christ at all." What do we go to church for? To live better. How can we live better then? Let us see what kind of a life a man would live without any uplifting influence—that is a life of the flesh. Paul tells us, "the works of the flesh are manifest which are these, formation, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enimities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factious, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness." That is the kind of life we would live if the flesh ruled. We don't want to live that kind of a life and the very fact that we go to church implies that we need help to live a better life. What we need is a new principle of life, a change of form within out and not without in. We need the spirit of Christ. Take the whiskey evil, you can't make moral changes in men by legislation. As long as the desire for whiskey remains in the man he will find a means to satisfy the desire. Take lawlessness such as murder, robbery, stealing, etc.—as long as men have these things in their hearts they are going to commit these crimes even though you take all the guns and pistols away. Here the words of Christ were quoted, "Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man, but that which proceedeth out of the mouth this defileth the man, for out of the heart cometh evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornifications, thefts." You see we need the spirit of Christ in the hearts of men. "If there is any place on earth where we would expect to see the spirit of Christ manifested it is in the church. We must start with ourselves. Too often the church is the place where we fail to see the spirit of Christ." Here the recent controversy of the modernist and the fundamentalist was cited: "A Christian can't carry envy, malice, murder in his heart because it is contrary to the spirit of Christ which is in him." The sermon closed with the plea that Christ live in you. LEADING WOMEN WILL ADDRESS URBAN LEAGUE Jane Addams and Mary McLeod Bethune To Appear Together At Conference To Be Held at Cleveland.

CHURCH "Things Every Woman Should Know," is the subject announced for a special address to women only at the First Baptist Church for this Sunday afternoon. Rev. Richard H. Bowling, who has been pastoring for more than ten years, says that this is the first time he has attempted to speak to women only, but that he is certain that he has a worthwhile message for Norfolk's womanhood. It will be remembered that a few months ago he announced a some what similar meeting for men. At that time the interest among the men became so great that delegations were present from Portsmouth, Barkley, Norfolk County and Suffolk. Ever since that time there have been repeated requests for a similar meeting for women. The service this Sunday afternoon at three o'clock is in response to these persistent requests. Music will be furnished by a large women's chorus. Women ushers will handle the crowds. No women under eighteen years of age will be allowed. The only man present will be the speaker. Numbers of lodges, missionary societies, and clubs, composed exclusively of women, will be present in a body or represented by large delegations. 20 Years In Prison For Pistol Toter the former. Grace attempted to pull his keys out of his pocket and they became entangled with the pistol he was carrying. This necessitated the pulling of the gun also, whereupon Hughes attempted to take it away from its owner, stating why did he, Grace, always pull out that gun. Grace tried to prevent Hughes from taking the gun away from him which precipitated the tussle that proved fatal for Hughes. In the so-called friendly melee, Hughes' chest was punctured with a 38 caliber bullet fired from the gun in the hands of Grace, who said the affair was purely accidental.

This opposition can be removed through intelligent operation of intelligent employment bureau, whose object is adjustment, not mere shifting of men, and whose tendency is to place workers as near home as possible. Referring to migratory labor in general, without special reference to the colored race, the report says: "The transfer from one section of the country to another of workers in increasing numbers is an uprocting of home and community relationships that must be looked upon with concern. In the past we in the United States have talked very loosely about shipping men from one part of the country to another, as though the desirability of shipment from an industrial and social point of view were unquestioned." Employer and Workmen Should Be Suited To Each Other That race prejudice has handicapped the colored worker by limiting his choice of occupation is recognized by the Foundation's investigators. "The first step in reducing this race prejudice," says the report, "is a knowledge of the facts regarding the requirements of particular jobs and the ability of individual workers. When the specific qualifications of a worker are known—what he can do and how well he can do it—it is possible for an employment office to recommend him for a particular job. What is needed is intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as to the suitability of colored workers for sertain kinds of work—many more kinds than have heretofore been acknowledged—and their capacity for discharging new responsibilities not only to the advantage of employee; and workmen but also to the advantage of the community as a whole and of our developing industrial life." Copies of the report, a volume of some 600 pages, may be secured at the headquarters of the Russell Sage Foundation, 130 22nd St. New York City. The Lowdown On A Columnist WILLEY 4. JOHNSON, JR. thorny as a briar patch and nobody knows how that is, but a jackrabbit. A columnist's life is as hard as the life of a convict who has to make big rocks little all day long for the rest of his rock breaking life, and that isn't any jazz party either. What I mean, it's the strain of the pace that has the telling effect and this is occasioned by the same thing that's covering me now, incompetency—if you know what I mean. It's a happy and fascinating life for those who like it and when it runs smooth. That's about as long as a second hand fliver. Usually what the writers write is, just the opposite of what most people think about the topic in question. One bimbo of a columnist had a guy to ask him, if he were a writer by profession, calling or what not. This columnist replied that he was neither a writer by profession, or calling. This guy wanted to know then, how did he get them ways. The columnist stated that he was a writer through necessity and when he failed to produce, he could no longer stare ham and eggs in the face mornings. The time comes when most columnists are completely exhausted and have not the slightest concep- --- New York City, Nov. 27.—A report which points the way to greater employment opportunities for colored people, which throws light on their difficulties in securing jobs, and which suggests possible means of lessening these difficulties has just been issued by the Russell Sage Foundation under the title "Public Employment Offices—Their Purpose, Structure, and Methods." While the study on which this report is based was not confined to the employment problems of any one race, there is much of interest to students of race relations in the findings and recommendations of the Foundation with respect to employment problems affecting the country generally, and an entire chapter in the report is given over to the problems of colored workers. Free Public Employment Office Vital Problem The report recommends the establishment of a nation-wide system of free public employment offices, to be operated jointly by the federal, state, and local governments, with the state government as the chief unit of administration. In the section discussing the management of local employment offices, the point is made that placement work for colored people can be done best by members of their own race. The Foundation's investigators studied employment conditions in the north and in the south, in large cities and in agricultural sections throughout the country. They find that race prejudice is limiting very much of the occupations open to colored people; until comparatively recently almost the only lines of work to which they were admitted have been farm and plantation labor, personal service, and common labor. This range of employment should and can be greatly increased through intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as to the suitability of colored workers for certain other kinds of work, together with discriminating placement. Equal Opportunity for Equal Ability Urged "If a colored man with good training and ability is held down to a common laborer's job because of prejudice, he, industry, and the community all suffer an economic loss," says the report. The report declares that southern states, in an effort to restricte the emigration of colored labor to From out of the blight that Covers me As painful as winter is cold, I thank whatever Fates there may be For making me so bodily, bold.

It matters not how crooked the path, How charged with current the electric wire, The columnist always get the worst of it. And his stuff is cast into the mire. And the above is no cross-eyed joke. There's a lot of people who're wondering how a columnist become—why and what for, but he just happens that way and there's no remedy. The funny part about it all is some seem to think that his life is easy as pie, but it's just the opposite. A columnist's life is as Norfolk Journal and Guide tion of where the next idea is coming from. This is the time when he begins to froth at the mouth. Most editors are as consciousness as a snake is hipless and when you can't column your columns anymore you take a tumble down the thermometer. It's not the fall, but the stop. The trouble is, you don't have time to recuperate. When you start skidding, you may eventually find yourself on the bricks and I'll tell the long nosed congregation, that doesn't give your spinal cord and ticklish tickles.

Y., Nov. 22.—(N. A. A. C. P.)—Funds of the Republic of Haiti are being squandered by American officials and officers of the Occupation according to a statement given to-day at the N. A. A. C. P. by Pierre Hudicourt, of Port au Prince. Mr. Hudicourt is a member of the American Institute of International Law and a delegate to the Conference to be held in Lima, Peru. He is a Senator of Haiti, and was Haiti's delegate to the Second Peace Conference at the Hague in Belgium. dependence even before the United States was a world power. Haiti wants to resume that tradition of independence and of the self-government. We want the United States Marines withdrawn at once and we want opportunity to elect our own representatives, maintain our own government and vote and dispose of our taxes." Mr. Hudicourt charges against the American Occupation of Haiti: 1. That the gourde, once equivalent to the American dollar, has been depreciated so that it now is worth only 20 cents and Haitian laborers must support themselves and their families on a monthly salary of about $5.20. 2. That heavy taxes are crushing the people of Haiti, and that the national funds so raised are going into the pockets of American office holders. 3. That the Haitian people themselves have no voice in their government or in their taxation, but are ruled by an American military dictator. Said Mr. Hudicourt: 'With the alleged purpose of stimulating Haitian agriculture and of guaranteeing the interest and amortisation of the recent Haitian loan of $40,000,000, the American Occupation established an agricultural school in Port au Prince. The American director of this school receives $15,000 a year. He has imported American 'professors' who receive $500 to $600 per month but are unable to speak French and have to have interpreters to transmit their remarks to their students. So that this Agricultural School, conducted at enormous expense, is of no use to Haitians. "The ease of this school resembles that of the military training school, loudly advertised in the United States as existing for the purpose of training Haitian officers to replace the Americans. That military training no longer exists. "Upon the much advertised roads built by the American Occupation of Haiti, there have been spent $8,000,000. The heavy rains of last season virtually obliterated these carelessly constructed affairs and there are at present some 40 or 50 automobiles abandoned on them." Mr. Hudicourt further said that the present President of Haiti, Mr. Louis Borno, was a puppet in the hands of the American Occupation. He said there was a persistent rumor in Port au Prince, that in violation of the convention of 1915 and the Constitution of 1918, the Occupation had demanded of Haiti a law ceding the Island of Gonaves as a military and naval base to the United States. "For more than 100 years," Mr. Hudicourt concluded, "Haiti governed itself, maintaining its inde- stores and soft drink places seldom were robbed before prohibition.

S.)—The spirit of the great chief White Cloud, long ago gathered to his fathers in the Happy Hunting Grounds, knows every detective in Baltimore, according to Madame Patsy Taylor, spiritualist and chairvoyant, who has been holding nightly seances at 1822 Madison avenue. Unfortunately, White Cloud was not acquainted with Mrs. Mary Bruff and Mrs. Maldred Campbell, policewomen, as a result of which Madame Taylor was held for the Grand Jury on three charges by Magistrate Johannsen in Northwestern Police Court Thursday. Has No Fear of Police Madame Taylor told audiences of whites and blacks that filled her basement room, where the seances were held, that there need be no fear of police intrigue, because her "familiar spirit" the dead chief White Cloud, could spot a Baltimore detective at 50 paces. According to the two policewomen, after the silver collection had been made the lights lowered and the spirit of White Cloud coaxed to talk, a voice in broken English told Mrs. Campbell all about her dead sister. This was extremely interesting to Mrs. Campbell, as it was first intimation she had ever had a sister. New Wife Sooils It A well-dressed white man, the policewoman said, attended every seance and begged tearfully to be allowed to talk to his dead wife. Finally White Cloud promised to produce the dead wife at the next seance. The man was delighted, and when he appeared at the next meeting he had his second wife with him. The dead wife failed to respond to White Cloud's calls, and it was suggested the man should have left his second wife at home. The policemen and Patrolman William Dohler, who attended some of the seances in plain clothes, testified that Madame Taylor had been the sensation of Baltimore for weeks. Fully one-third her audiences, it was testified, were white persons. CHURCHLAND Services Sunday was well attended. Rev. Givens pastor of First Baptist Church, West Norfolk was present at Sunday school, and made a few remarks on the lesson. Rev. Givens has just returned from an extended northern trip.

Seeby's Quinade will help to beautify and improve the hair. It will soften harsh; kinky hair, making it easier to put up in any style its length will permit. Quinade is a medicated pomade containing ingredients which are calculated to stimulate the scalp and the roots of the hair, thereby encouraging its growth. To get best results from the use of Quinade, cleanse the scalp regularly with Seeby's Quinasoap, the ideal shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap. If unable to obtain at your druggist's, mail us the price. Quinade 35c; Quinasoap, 25c, and we will send them to you. Seeby Drug Co., Rawson St., and Queens Bldd., Long Island City, N.

We pass this way but once, therefore one should not neglect the opportunities so often presented of helping to make the world better for having passed. The Raleigh Times quite agrees with the Durham Herald that "the sentiment has been gradually growing in educational circles that there is a pressing need for a State institution for providing higher education for the colored people." They think North Carolina should have a State College of Liberal Arts for Negroes. There is no such college in the State now, the Herald says, and Negroes who want to prepare for work in the higher education have to go to private institutions or institutions outside the State. The thought is that North Carolina should provide the necessary higher education for her Afro-American people. It is highly probable that the State authorities will meet the demand, as they have shown a splendid and liberal interest in Afro-American education.

Self-Determination There is more than a bid for support in the campaign which Colored United Charities, Incorporated, is launching next Monday. There is what is just as important; an appeal for the right of self-determination. If a welfare organization cannot determine its course of action without external compulsion its identity is ultimately absorbed by or lost in the external forces behind the compulsion. If it has no opportunity to enjoy the privilege of self-determination it will not long enjoy opportunity for existence. Colored United Charities is an organization chartered under the laws of Virginia. Its affairs are managed and directed by a corps of officers and a board representing every creed Protestant and Catholic. It is as unsectarian as it is possible to make it. Its books and operations are open to public inspection and it has made a splendid record with the limited funds it has had in hand. The organization comes now to the public in an independent campaign for funds to carry out its 1925 program of ministering to the poor and needy. It asks that the public be liberal in order that its work may be carried on without interruption or reduction in scope and character by reason of having been omitted from the Community Fund drive just ended. That there is a broad and beckoning field for the operation of Colored United Charities, Incorporated, is apparent to all. That it has a right to life and self-determination Colored United Charities, Incorporated, asks the citizens of Norfolk to decide and rests its case upon its past record.

A State Housing Law Every citizen and agency interested in the improvement of the public health will lend their cooperation heartily to the efforts of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the State Interracial Committee to have the next general assembly enact an effective State housing law.

The improvement of housing conditions is a problem that has held the attention of medical authorities, civic and social welfare organizations for years and the experience of those who have followed the subject is that constructive and lasting results are best achieved through municipal and state legislation. The old type of tenant house, built in compact rows and bearing the rather appropriate title of "flats," has contributed much to the annual high death rates from such diseases as consumption, pneumonia, and influenza. Any law enacted in the light of present expert authority upon the relation of housing conditions to public health would have the effect of reducing the death and disability rates and increasing the working efficiency and earning power of the people affected. Editorial Page of South Carolina Leads the Country and the Country Leads the World in Crime It is creditable to The State published at Columbia, which is easily one of the most influential newspapers in the South, to discuss temporarily the statement made by Rev. G. Croft Williams, in his pulpit at Shandon, that "we lead the civilized world in crime. Be sure of it—such a state of affairs is no accident; it has come from steadily working forces that are resident among us." The State says in extenuation that the United States is not yet a true Nation, being yet in the developing stage; "we are still a frontier, a world camp, a borderland in which are still forming the elements of the Nation yet to be." It is much to have the State admit that much, the general disposition being among our statesmen and literary people of light and leading to regard the people of the United States as among the most intelligent and law-abiding, and the Nation as among the greatest and most progressive of all times. The fact is we are still a people in the formative stage and a Nation whose racial type and morals and culture have yet to be worked out to the finished consummation. The State says: "We have been told continuously for years that the crimes are committed mostly by the aliens. This is not true. It is the native, the American element, that is most criminal. It is the American native that kills and maims and burns. And we used to suppose that the whites were highly moral and law-abiding. In 1900 there were 240 prisoners in the State penitentiary, 32 white, 214 colored. In 1920 the proportion changed; of 122 offenders, 63 were white and 59 colored. In 1923 there were 628 prisoners of whom 346 were white. The State sums up the argument as follows: "Mr. Williams says there must be a better understanding and a better attitude toward crime. He quotes Judge Tally of New York—whom The State also quoted a little while back—to show that we are "the most lawless nation on earth"—and thinks that South Carolina stands at the top of that record of lawlessness. America is more immoral—at least more lawless—than Canada, England, Wales, Ireland, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands (Holland), Spain, South Africa. "America's ratio of homicide was 7.2 to the 100,000. The percentage in London is only two to the million! Switzerland has a percentage of two-tenths of a homicide to every 100,000 persons. "In South Carolina the average of homicides is 214 a year, or 168 to the million. In Chicago the ratio is 68 to the million; in New York city, 46. "Is it a question of HEALTH—bodily and mental? We are not healthy physically, since we have about the highest infant mortality in the country. We are not healthy mentally, since we about lead all the States in illiteracy. "It is time to act. Taking a new attitude is, as Mr. Williams says, the first step; but action should follow at once. "How long is it morally possible for South Carolina to hold this bad eminence—in unhealthy, illiteracy and crime?" The State makes a plain blunt statement of the actual condition; it faces the facts without flinching, figuring it out that crime is not a sectional or racial question but a question affecting the mixed citizenship and all sections of the country. When there is a general disposition to accept the facts with like candor we shall be in position to make a united effort for a healthier and better condition of State and National health and morals. As a matter of fact only persons discussed in mind or body commit crimes against life and property and make for a low standard of morals.

Radical Reorganization of the Republican Party Seen The sweeping victory which President Coolidge achieved in the recent elections amounted to an endorsement of him as a man and of his consistent course in carrying out the policies of the late President Harding, and it left him free to inaugurate his own policies and to select the cabinet and other officials upon whom he must depend to carry out his policies. It gives the President freedom he has not heretofore enjoyed. The country voted overwhelmingly to give him a free hand, and it gave him a Congress which should back him and his The sweeping victory which President Coolidge achieved in the recent elections amounted to an endorsement of him as a man and of his consistent course in carrying out the policies of the late President Harding, and it left him free to inaugurate his own policies and to select the cabinet and other officials upon whom he must depend to carry out his policies. It gives the President freedom he has not heretofore enjoyed. The country voted overwhelmingly to give him a free hand, and it gave him a Congress which should back him and his policies, and which in the former sessions prior to the elections took malicious pleasure in hectoring and thwarting the policies of the President. They acted as if they were willing to wreck the party if by so doing they could discredit President Coolidge in so far as to make his nomination at Cleveland impossible and the nomination of some one more to their liking possible. It was a very desperate gamble. The Old Guard leaders went down at Cleveland, with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts the greatest sacrifice, and President Coolidge took the leadership by the will of the Convention which the Senatorial bosses had contested with the utmost vindictiveness. THE QUESTION The death of Senator Lodge and the appointment of Mr. William H. Butler to succeed him, with the announcement by Mr. Butler, that he would not only serve as Senator but continue to function as chairman of the Republican National Committee, and that, consequently, he would have the ear of the President and be the logical master spirit in the shaping of policies and the dispensation of Federal patronage, create a live political sensation among Republican members of the Congress. They will have to fall in with the President's policies and Senator Butler's dictation or cool their heels in the corridors of expectation, and their constituents do not expect them to do that, but rather to be in touch with the President and the good things he has to hand out that partisans hanker after and hustle for. It looks as if the President has got the uppish Republican members of the Congress where they will do the right thing or be called to account by their constituents. It is rumored that Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes will leave the cabinet and go into law practice again with a retainer of $200,000 per annum. As Governor of New York and as Presidential candidate and cabinet officer, Secretary Hughes has never shown any warm enthusiasm for the Afro-American people. As Secretary of State he has signed the appointment of only one member of our group in the diplomatic and none in the consular service, as far as we remember. It will be of general interest to the Republicans of Virginia to learn that it is stated on good authority that Mr. C. Bascom Slemp is slated to succeed Hon. Harry S. New of Indiana as Postmaster General. If this appointment should be made it will create general surprise. According to the program outlined by Mr. William Clarence Matthews, on retiring from the management of our end of the campaign, Afro-Americans expect a great deal of President Coolidge, as much and a little more than our editors stated as their desires before the election, in a conference called to get their views and endorsement of Coolidge and Dawes. We shall see. We have been disappointed so often in the past that we deem it the part of discretion to wait and see what it is done before expecting that anything will be done.

Chicago And New York Blacks Contrasted From the Houston Informer.

This particular congressional district embraces Harlem, with its large colored colony, in which 25,000 or more qualified colored voters of all political faiths and persuasions reside. Despite the fact that Dr. Roberts had the endorsement of the regular republican organization and his candidacy was openly espoused by leading white Republicans, including former Congressman Ansorge and Theodore Roosevelt, he only polled 7,000 votes in the entire congressional district as against 11,000 by his successful white opponent, Weller. Contrast the political apathy, indifference, prejudice and treachery of the Harlem blacks with the activity, alertness, solidarity and cooperation of forces on the part of the colored voters of Chicago, who marched to the polle en masse and elected one municipal judge, one state senator and four members to the state legislature. THE QUESTION OF RACIAL PURITY From Information Service, Federal Council of Churches prepared by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations. Professor Franz Boaz, the distinguished anthropologist of Columbia University, in a discussion of racial purity in the American Mercury for October, declares the main question is: "Do races possess hereditary mental characteristics that influence their cultural achievements?" He believes that "only if it is proven that the family lines constituting two races are throughout distinct, can we speak of racial characteristics." And in Europe types vary so greatly that no such proof is possible. Individuals are able to adjust themselves to a wide variety of conditions in spite of anatomical differences. While they will not all function alike yet they will all meet the requirements of the situation. Mental activities vary in the same way. Environment and use may also change anatomical forms. "* * * A determination of the adjustability of the individual to different demands, and of the adaptability of different individuals to the same demands" is a necessary part of the study. The psychological tests now in vogue do not meet this requirement. Anthropologists are inclined to believe that "extreme forms represent pure races." In the case of the three European types, Northwest European, Central European and Mediterranean, there is no proof that the individuals showing the extreme types represent pure races or that the regions where these extreme types are most common are "the homes of our only pure races." Moreover "a general review of cultural forms the world over does not indicate that there is any correlation between the achievement of races and their supposed racial purity." In conclusion, Professor Boaz says: "Our knowledge of the reactions of men living in diverse cultural forms and the study of the cultural forms themselves lead us to infer that heredity characteristics are irrelevant as compared to social conditions and that anatomical form does not determine the cultural history of a people. * * The scientific approach to a solution must be through an investigation of three problems; first, the degree of variability found in the heredity strains that compose races; second, the extent to which varying anatomical forms can perform the same function; and third, the adaptability of the organism to varying demands." DR. FRANK CRANE ON THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER The Birmingham Reporter. Many thousands of people,—great number of intelligent ones,—fail to understand the mission and purpose of newspapers and magazines. But for these institutions our country would be backward and without information, and unserrupulous people would run roughshod over the less fortunate and unwise ones. The newspaper, aside from being a forum for news and opinions, is guard and protector of the public interest. No man, no institution, cares to be adversely criticised and exposed. Every man desires nice things said of him. The true newspaper would rather be complimentary to all men and institutions; but its duty is not to compliment only, if it would serve well its mission it must at times condemn, offer remedies and construct better programs. It is the newspaper that is keeping alive and forward the activities, of mankind, and it is the newspaper that keeps society in a safe and sound condition. Dr. Frank Crane, writing in The Birmingham Age-Herald a few days ago, discussed most convincingly and interestingly THE REPORTER. He explained the mission of the reporter and the duty of a well established and regulated publican. Here is what he says: "The history of secrecy makes a long, black smudge down the page of time. "Nothing is truer that the saying that "the wicked love darkness rather than light." and this proverbs has a bearing we do not usually suspect. "We assume it to have reference to robbers, footpads, sneak thieves, mutinous scamen, and home-breakers. It does. It also refers, however, to any other group of people who work in the shade. "You can set it down in your books that any business for which the claim is made that it is better to transact it under cover, that it is unwise to have it investigated, and that the public has no right to meddle in it, is crooked. Of course, I do not include the affairs of a purely personal nature, but only such matters as have to do with the public. "The whole history of government before the day of newspapers is a record of tyranny and unjust privilege. So long as the common herd was ruled by a select few, who presumed to do better by the people than the people could do for themselves, the result invariably was luxury and fine feathers for the elect and starvation and rags for the many. "Vested rights thrive in darkness. It is only in the light of publicity that Human Rights grow. "The story of the Old World, of China, ancient Japan, Egypt, Greece, and Rome is the story of secrecy and outrage. "The story of Liberty and the New World is the story of the uncensored press. Saturday, November 29, 1924 "Whenever you find secret councils of kings, diplomats whispering behind their hands, senators gum-shoeing around, and trust magnates mumbling in a back room, you may be sure that the public is about to be looted. "The petty criminal is afraid of the policeman. The big criminal is afraid of the reporter. "The man who cracks the belated citizen over the head with a lead pipe fears the law. The man who sandbags the whole community and steals twenty million dollars by manipulating a railway system of the packing industry does not fear the law. He hires the law. The thing he fears is the light, public opinion; and the man who works the spotlight is the newspaper reporter. "Naturally, publicity is often overdone. Newspapers now and then descend to the level of vicious gossips, but not often enough to offset the immense ad vantage of their open utterances. "There never was a bribe-taking judge ousted from the bench, or a corrupt politician retired to private life, a governor or mayor who sold out to corporations and was exposed, that did not hate newspaper reporters above rattlesmakes. "This is not a government by law; law does not govern, it is merely the rear guard of government. It is a GOVERNMENT BY PUBLICITY. It is newspapers and magazines, the publishing of facts, that govern. "The hopeful element in this case is that any attempt on the part of secret cabals to own the press defeats itself. The public is sure to find it out, and down goes the circulation. Many a speak lightly, side-stepping publication has been supported by criminal capital, but never with conspicuous success. "Absolute independence, truth-telling, and honesty are the foundation stones of a successful publication of any kind. Even party organs and publications backed by a sect or union are discounted. "We could manage to rub along without the distinguished gentlemen who run our finances, make our laws, and regulate our morals, perhaps, but suppress the newspaper reporter and we should be tempted to say: "Then hear me from the harbor's "Then bear me from the harbor's mouth, wild wave; I'll seek another shore." "Be kind, then, to the reporter. Take him in and tell him the truth. And if you feel you must lie, be careful to make a mighty job of it." Accouding to Dr. Crane, the newspaper is a wonderfully important institution and has served civilization as no other institution has. It is an important factor in society and is the balance wheel and director of human activity. It is both feared and respected. When properly directed it is the most vital force as a corrective agency and inspirational power. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY By GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere. If of general interest and not much to long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When young will not permit or the subject Dear Sir, I have a matter which I wish you would give your prompt attention and one which has caused quite a stir. In the October issue of my periodical, I published a release from your press concerning the questions and answers in Negro history. In the release the question was asked, "Was Hiram King of Tyre a Negro?" The answer was in the affirmative and several of my friends in this community are challenging this statement, and have asked from where you get your authority. C. O. Wilson, Editor, Finger Lake Monitor. Your letter relative to my statement concerning Hiram, King of Tyre, having been a Negro, has been handed to me. I am not surprised that it has caused something of a stir among certain of your friends—probably Masons—and I am pleased with the fate. That it should cause a stir merely goes to prove that we, Americans are ill acquainted with classical and archeological study. We accept without question the statement of historians who know little about origins and care less. Hiram, King of Tyre, called himself king of the Sidonians. Tyre and Sidon were two cities of a group of independent cities which grouped racially by the Greeks under the term Phoenecia. The Old Testament writers group them under the term Canaan, affirming this country to have been founded by Canaan, son of Ham. The classical writers give these Phoenecians the same Negro, or African, origin. According to classical writers, the founder of Phoenecia was Agenor, who was the son of Neptune and Libya. Libya was the daughter of Epaphos, the black torch-son of Zeus and Io (Aechylus Supplians and Prome- "The Gift of Black Folks" By DR. W. K. BURGHARDT DuBOIS Published by The Stratford Company. 234 Bolyston St., Boston. 8. Mass. Price $2.00. By mail. $2.15. This volume is published by the Knights of Columbus in its Racial Contribution Series. Its preface is by Dr. Edward F. McSweeny, and contains a short historical sketch of the early settlements in this country and the diverse nations and religions that came here. He deplores the effort today to set up caste control in the United States. Then comes Dr. DuBOis' story of the Negro and his contribution to this conglomerate nation. Dr. DuBois in his prescript opens with one of his superb paragraphs. "We who know," he says, "may not forget but must forever spread the splendid, sordid truth that out of the most lowly and persecuted of men, man made America. And that what a man has here begun with all its want and imperfection, with all its magnificent promise and grotesque failure, will some day blossom in the souls of the lowly." Then he leaves this height and proceeds to tell us in 300 well massed pages of what the Negro has contributed to the civilization of America. He shows the value of the slaves dull labor, how it made possible the development of the South. And then he shows us what the free men and women have done in industry, in the army, in art, literature, music, and last in religion. It is a clearly told, and to many will be a new story. How many people for instance know that DeBore, a West Indian Negro, reared in Louisiana, discovered the process of sugar granulation, or that the Negro Rillieux invented a vacuum pan that revolutionized the method of refining sugar? Matzeliger, a New England Negro though born in Dutch Guiana, laid the foundation for the success of the United Shoe Machinery Company by inventing a machine for lasting shoes. But most important of all to the Americans of (Copyright 1924 by A. N.

(See also Appolod. 2, 1: 3, 0; and Pausan, 1, 44.) Among the ancients these origins were sufficient to make it understood that the Phoenicians were a black race. From the fact that nearly all of the great nations of that time were either African or of African decent, distinctive nations were classified according to founders, all having been descended from the common stem. But your modern historians say that the Phoenicians were Semetic. They say the same thing of the Egyptians and of the Ethiopians, and I repeat again that there is no accuracy in such assertions. Archeologists know they are false, but how few study archeology? Fortunately, discoveries have been made in Phoenicia that give the lie to all historians and pseudo-scientists. The archeologist Eiselman, made extensive discoveries and explorations on the sites of ancient Tyre and Sidon, and from the remains discovered he allows them to speak for themselves as to the racial relations of these maritime people. Permit me to quote the following from his book, SIDON. "On the 10th of January last (1855), some men were digging for more hidden treasures in the ancient cemetery on the plain of Sidon, called Mughorat Tublon, when at the depth of about 12 feet below the surface, they uncovered a sarcophagus, upon the lid of which was a Phoenecian inscription. The features are Egyptian, with full almond shaped eyes, the nose flattened and the lips remarkably thick and somewhat after the Negro mold. The whole countenance is smiling and agreeable and expressive beyond anything. I have ever seen in the disinterred monuments of Egypt of Nineveh. At one time it contained the body of Esmunazar II, King of Sidon, the son of Tabnit, and grandson of Esmunazar I, King of Sidon." By MARY WHITE OVINGTON (For N. A. A. C. P.) today, old and young, was the Negro caterer, who invented ice cream. Dr. DuBois does not give us the man's name, but he assures us that the colored caterers, along with chicken a la Maryland and Philadelphia terrapin, put this dish upon the tables of the New World. The book is full of material of use in the many controversies that arise when two people talk the race problem. We congratulate the Knights of Columbus on their Series, and only hope that we may learn of the other elements in the country in as clear and concise and interesting a volume as this one on the Black Folk.
