BATTLE PROVES FATAL FOR PARTICIPANTS (Special to The Journal and Guide.) Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 11. Workmen clearing the site for the new Southern Power Company's dam in Lower Steel Creek, became involved in a somewhat general quarrel on December 2, and as a result two were killed with axes. The dead are Tobe Smith, about 40, and Toy Woods, 25 or 26 Woods is alligned to have killed Smith after the latter had fired several shots at him and Woods in turn killed, according to eye witnesses, by James Smith, son of the man Woods had slain. Woods was a one-armed man and killed Tobe Smith with an axe after Smith had fired several shots, two of which took effect in Woods' breast. Theounds, however, had continued to advance on Smith until he came within striking distance. Then he landed, a force blow with an axon on Smith's head. While Woods continued to hack the prostrated form of Smith, Jar Smith, son of Tobe, ran up behind Woods and practically beheaded the slayer of his father. James Smith is about 20 years old and was brought to the Mecklenburg county jail early the same night by Chief of Rural Police Y.

As if awakening from unpleasant dreams, with frowns disturbing the countenance that was unruffled by he reposed nonchalantly upon his spectral bed in the Elmwood Cemetery, John Harris found himself starling in to the face of a police detective after he had drilled with a buckler of water. A call had been sent in at Police headquarters that a dead man was out in the cemetery which is pothole to lose any sleep over and where dead people are supposed to be, but evidently the caller insisted that there was something queer about the odd circumstances of this particular dead man, who being under him was on top and being under his eyes was sent to investigate the case. Sure enough he found the man lying as cool as a cucumber stretched out on his back with his head resting on the grave mound for a pillar. The officer is allege to have remarked to the man who lead him to John Harris's place that it was a cuss for the undertaker and where could he get to telephone these remarks must have reached the realm where the sandman reigns supreme, because Harris began to wriggle and squirm. The officer sent for a bucket of water and let go broad side. The supposed dead man put up a prodigious yawn and a muttered protest. The grave yawn slumberer was yanked to after he had shown signs of being very much alive and taken into very much alive and was taken by the murder and was taken with being drunk, in in Police Court Monday-morning failed to put in his appearance, however a woman appeared and stated that Harris was sick, it was said. It was also said that the woman first stated, that Harris was accustomed to carrying flowers to the grave when he was found alive, that he had been, overcome with grief and fell down upon the grave. It is alleged that the grave upon which Harris was found was in the white section of the cemetery and that he had been drinking. His fine was fixed at $5. --- CHAS. C. SPAULDING COOLIDGE'S PLEA FOR FAIRPLAYHAS THEM GUESSING COOLIDGE'S PLEA FOR FAIRPLAYHAS THEM GUESSING Many Interpretations Placed On President's Statement In Message On According Afro-Americans Full Rights SOME PRETEND TO SEE HINT OF FORCE BILL Washington, D. C., Dec. 11—(P. N. S.)—Southern Senators and Representatives are becoming more and more irate over the interpretation they read into President Coolidge's references to the Negro in his message to Congress. Hints have come from Administration sources that the President meant to indicate his support of the famous Force Bill that the late Senator Lodge of dasselbush championed during days. It is his bill, calling for Federal his bill, calling for the polls that so inflamed many Southerners that they never forgave Lodge. Lodge's first big fight in Congress was made on this measure, which went down finally with the bitterest kind of assault. But whether Mr. Coolidge really intended to revive this issue or whether he knew why African-North American forces that aided him the election are questions nobody is able to answer finally. The President said: The Negro "These developments have brought about a very remarkable improvement in the condition of the Negro race, gradually, but surely, with the almost universal sympathy of those among whom they live, the colored people are working out their own destiny, while belief should for all purposes that they should be cheerfully accorded their full constitutional rights, that they should be protected from all of those impositions to which, from their position, they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime of lynching, and that they should receive every encouragement to become full partakers in all the blessings of our common American citizenship." Based on Lynchning Protest It was this phase that was taken to mean indorsement of the Force bill although the prevalent opinion Hampton And Tuskegee Get Million Each Rochester, N.

INSURANCE ON UPWARD TREND; DEATHS LOWER North Carolina Mutual Had Income This Year of Two Million Dollars, Reflecting Economic Growth of Race. LEARNING TO RECOGNIZE VALUE OF INSURANCE (Special to the SAN and USA) Durham, N. C., Dec. 11—Marked economic advancement as well as improvement in the mortality rate of Southern Negroes is just issued by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. The statement, given out by President C. C. Spnulding, is as follows: "The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has attained a national reputation. Its income this year will approach two million dollars. With the growth of the Company has come a sense of the ever increasing responsibility resting upon the management. The Company is under the field of finance and must of necessity blaze the trail since nobody has come to point the way. A Service Institution "The North Carolina Mutual is a service institution. It is undertaking to make a very definite contribution to Negro life. It is recording its experiences with a view to having them serve as a basis for the operation of institutions which are generally referred to now as a broadcasting station because of its activity in disseminating information. Its Life Extension Department has a very extensive program for the coming year. It is making a scientific approach to the subject of mortality among Negroes and hopes to render a valuable service to the community that comes from training an experience table of Negro mortality. Run On Budget Plan "Experience has convinced the North Carolina Mutual that operation on the basis of the American Experience Table of Mortality is really unscientific for a company insuring colored risks only. The sooner they are, the earlier the better. The better. Scientific management in every phase of the Company's work is a feature of the Durham program. The Company is operated on the budget plan and the expectancy under ordinary conditions is difficult. External equipment is required to operate within its allowance and expenditures are proportioned scientifically. Has Won Confidence "The North Carolina Mutual has enjoyed the confidence of the people for a long time. For twenty-five years it has handled the people's money honestly and conservatively. The Company is very jealous of its reputation and the management is ever mindful of the very great responsibility that rests upon it. Paid Over Half Million "The North Carolina Mutual n death claims have averaged seven a day during this year for a total of $115,000 while $197,500 have been in sick claims. Twenty year endowments are beginning to mature, and the state insurance in force now is over four million dollars. The value of insurance to a person can hardly be overestimated. The payment of the first premium creates an estate of real money which continues in force so long as the premiums are paid promptly. No greater safeguard exists all the time. The person without insurance is really unwise. That's the note the North Carolina Mutual is broadcasting. Its big-mission is to forever and eternally carry that message to the people." Arrest Kissers; Reduced Paris, France, Dec. 11—(A. P.)-Informing him that France is not a country for prohibition, the Judge of the superior court here reduced in rank M. Carbonnell, a married engaged couple who were kissing in a public restaurant. He was charged with abuse of authority. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924 MAN NORFOLK NIMROD HANGS UP A NEW RECORD Man Who Killed Two Birds With One Stone Has Nothing On J. T. Tanner. To his long established record of being a good real estate man J. T. Tanner is entitled to add the distinction of being also some expert with dogs from Florida several days ago Mr. Tanner has been spending considerable time in the wide open spaces testing the accuracy of his sharp shooting eye on rabbits and birds. He spent last Tuesday in the forest and fields and had a rare day, according to the account of his friend, who re-lated him to a reporter for his paper Tuesday night. He left town with his three hound dogs and twenty-four shells. He returned with fifteen (15) rabbits, twelve (12) birds and seven (7) shells. This record was made without the assistance of a bird dog, and the rabbit hounds were not present when the birds were killed. He set that Mr. Tanner back back seven shells out of twenty-four may be explained by the fact that he killed ten of the birds with one shot. MRS.

(Continued on Page Six) CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUBS POINT WAY TO PEACE AND PLENTY City Banks Now Forming Christmas Savings Clubs. Members Will Be Prepared For Good Times In 1925. A Christmas Savings Club started NOW is the best insurance possible against unpreparedness next Christmas. The Christmas Savings Clubs which banks all over the country have been operating for incomparable years have been of incomparable value to those who have taken advantage of their convenience. The Citizens Bank, Merchants and Planters Bank, Norfolk National Bank, Seaboard National Bank, (Main office and Berkley Branch) Trust Company of Norfolk (Lambert's Point and Ocean View Branches only), Virginia National Bank (Main Office and North Street Branch) are announcing another space Christmas Savings Clubs to those who would benefit by systematic savings. These clubs vary in size and there is one to fit any nurse. Operating fifty weeks, 50c weekly pays $25 and interest; $1 weekly, pays $50 and interest; $2 weekly, pays $100 and interest and $5 weekly, pays $250 and interest. By paying one weeks dues, one may become a member and after the start is made it is easy to form the habit of making the regular weekly payments. Taxes fall due in November and many people use this easy method of saving to be ready to pay their taxes, while many others invest the money saved in Building and Loan Association, and regular savings accounts. Some of course spend therets for Christmas and this too helps, for in turning the money for the merchants, it finds its way back, to be used and they in turn, are prepared to receive financial conditions. The banks are our friends and offer us every inducement to help ourselves. Let us take advantage of the opportunity offered and prepare for a Christmas of peace and cheer in 1925.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924 HAMPTON QUINT BEGINS GRIND HAMPTON QUINT BEGINS GRIND By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Hampton, Va., Dec. 11-Thirty-five aspiring and willing basketball candidates answered the call of Coach Charles H. Williams for players who wish to try for positions on the basketball team to represent Hampton Institute in the coming season. These men will enter the competition this year with the definite aim of recapturing basketball honors for a second year. Included in this number are the members of last year's quintet. Around this group the coaches are centering their activities in building up another team which can ride successfully at the end of the season on the crest of a championship wave. With a 'week of indoor practice already behind it, the squad of ball tossers is being put through spirited sprint images. From now on intensive practice on teamwork formations and skillful handling of the ball will be emphasized. Duration will first be the examination of dribbling, pivoting, shooting and handling of the ball were gone through. In addition to this, lectures on the technicalities which abound in the rules of basketball were given. The first game will probably come off on December 26. The coaches will work the teams at top speed from new on. Then will come an exceptionally hard schedule running through the season. Certain players are pending. This fact presents a complete schedule from being ready for publication. The principal loss the team will feel will be that of David L. Gane's sensational running guard or last year, in the Colored interleagiate Athletic Association games for he gave his farewell talk to the team last year, having played four seasons. This is the limit for participation in Association games. His services will be available, however in non-Associated contests. At present his activities are being centered in coaching Coaches Williams and Smith Capt. A. Rochelle, N. X. former All-Associate for the forward position, and one of the best defenders for to play at Hampton for a good many years, has switched his position and is playing great With former Captain Lennon is a running mate, Jones is expected to smother all attempts of opponents to run on his scores. Edward Harrington, that year's best scorer, reported a few days late due to injuries received in football. He is expected to return into condition rapidly and will the same accurate scorer which earned him the second place in America's Class 10. Threatened to groined to fill in at center if the necessity arises. There are several other capable candidates who can be counted upon to fill in when necessary. For the forward position, Alfred McNichols and William Lawbright the diminutive, but sonorous forward, will be the candidate most dependable players. There promise, however, to be positioned battle for these positions as well as the guard and center positions. As basketball approaches its opening games the prospects for a formidable five at Hampton are exceedingly promising. The members of the team and the coaching staff are expecting a still competition for the honors in the league, while the floor in the opening game will, barring unforeseen accidents, end the season successfully. The game would have been triggering, stumbling and side-sided with everything that made stepping for 55 yards where he had good encounters, but the rough was finally brought down with a house mouse employed by the rough in third by Thornton that caused him a spout from Hampton slightly before oracle the pigskin and White married the mule and resulted in first sweeped down on it so apparently for the visitors, but bawk on a chicken and then on a chicken on the first few rushes, time to move to ride the edge and crayed the fray. push off a score with Gay, Gordon and Whitcher carrying out the offensive assignment for the "Ten Clubs" and Hickman and Smith doing the dirty work for Merriam. Time and again Hickman and Smith were real menaces, but were usually stopped. Norfolk resorted to an aerial attack the end of the first half only to have it broken up when Smith of the Merriam seven intercepted one down on his 6-yard line where the half ended. The second half found both devices handling in assaulting attack fighting hard for a break. Smith received the kick and in a few minutes one somewhat frequent three bucks made first down.

MERRIM AC BESTED BY IRON CLADS IN FINAL FRAME WILLEY A JOHNSON, JR. Patton K. M.乔登格 fight a short while after the game was under way, surging back and forth down the field near the end of the final frame, the "Iron Chuds," Norfolk A. C. came to the fore to match a 6-0 victory from the throes of an apparent no score deadlock with about three minutes to play i a badly contested sesame-seven in strong Merriam eleven of Hampton last Monday at League Park. Norfolk A. C. began the game slowly as is the usual custom this season and the visiting team run wild, making two immediate first downs on the hop, but the locals settled down to serious business shortly after this wild outburst of speed, the lined braid and Merriam was held on even teams for a while after Hickman ripped cepted by one of the Iron Clads and in three concentrated line thrusts made the stick. Smith followed with 12 yards and Gay elected to carry the pigskin on the next down, was roughed. The penalty gave Norfolk the ball on Merrimac's 36-yard line, but Norfolk soon kicked. Norfolk threatened to tally after Gay had intercepted a pass and carried the ball for 10 yards before being brought down. The fans then put up an unceasing chant of, "Give Pat the ball." Thornton was called off and took the ball 11 times, so took for 6 more after Wheeler had hit for four. Gay attempted at a field goal failing Merrimac the ball on its 20-yard line. The visitors kicked after two downs and Norfolk launched another air attack with Gay passing to Thornton for 15 yards, but this attack was also broken up. Merrimac intercepting again. The Hampton team punted up the field and Whitburn who had been displaying a bit of broken field running brought the ball up for good distance. Another pass was intercepted by Merrimac and after getting a 15-yard penalty, elected to kick, blocked and recovered by Norfolk and approached and the steady mist occasioned by the encircling gloom had cast an almost impenetrable ball over the gridiron. Each player was nearly silhouetted against the deep gray background with about three minutes to play with the ball on Merrimac's 10-yard line after Thornton had hit for five. Gay negotiated the other ten yards through humanity and eased over the winning tally. The attempt at the extra point flanked. The shortness of time did not prevent Merrima from throwing a scare into the from Clad camp. The visitors received the kickoff and the runner was nailed in the back. The assault was instituted by the Hampton aggregation with Dickman taking one on the run NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE SHAW DOWNED ST. AUG. 13-0 The St. Augustine light eleven surprised the Raleigh fans by a Turkey Day fight that limited the Sawyer scores to 13 and stopped the Raleigh from winning the first period. The showing made St. Augustine against other C.I.A. A. teams compared to Shaw's record indicated that Shaw would swamp St. Augustine by some three-score ties but the dops was wrong. The game was played in St. Aug.'s territory from the penalty only one first down was recorded to St. Aug.'s credit. Shaw began by kicking off to St. Aug. throwing them for losses of 4 yards in 4 downs and receiving the punt that resulted on her 35 yard line. Shaw ran wild off end and tackle and lost an early touchdown due to fumble. St. Aug. kicked to midfield and Shaw returned the ball to within striking distance where she was held again for downs. St. Aug. kicked again and this time Shaw drove off tackle and end for a touchdown by repeated dashes in which Miellich and Doles were featured as consistent gainers. St. Aug. then put up a dooged defensive that kept the game in midfield until the end of the first half. The third period featured by long with Mitchell or Williams with Doles bucking on a line off for short gains. But so determined was St. Aug.'s defensive tactics that the Shaw gains were only spasmodic and never consistent. St. Aug would kick suffer the disaster of a long gain on a single rush by Mitchell or Williams and then hold the Bears for downs until the comedy was repeated. The play went deeper into St. Aug.'s territory in the final period shortly after the beginning by a forward pass of 25 yards from Chambers to Mitchell. A Store For Everybody H.

H. CROCKIN FURNITURE COMPANY 541-549 CHURCH STREET $1.98 CROCKIN'S TOY WORLD Shaw's Prospects With the aid of Coach H. D. Martin, Shaw staged a worthy of comment con破 from the slump that blighted her in the season of 1923. The squad has been dubbed the "Bear Brigade" and the games put up the past season made that name a well fitting non-de-plume. From every indication Martin will turn out or remain in the playoffs, but he will make a strong bid for C. I. I. A. a honors. Only one varsity man will be lost thru graduation this spring and the remaining players expressed their intentions of returning to school in the fall. This will give the coach a good nucleus from which to build his 1925 eleven around. Hampton "Booz" Gill was unanimously elected leader of the coming season's team. His tenacious bullfighting tactics earned him a berth in the playoffs, and if he plays his game next season he will be of All-American limber. Out of seven encounters, the Bear Brigade wore three, lost two and battled to deadlocks in two. The two games loss were to lain calm, this year's champions of the C. J. A. A, and Union.

Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va. Dec. 6—In a tense and thrilling game which was the last C. I. A. A. tilt of the 1924 football season, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School and Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute fought desperately, valiantly and ardently, only to find themselves in a 0-0 deadlock at the final gong which proclaimed an end to the gigantic struggle on which many anxious eyes were concentrated and on which the interest of thousands was centered. The Tigers held their own in the first act, and had a slight edge on their opponents in the final frame. The Hilltopters' preponderance of weight, mature experience and ingenious tactics were a menace to the Tigers' offense and defense in the second and third stanza. But by timely and superior strategy, together with intuition when in the throes of defeat, the "wonder team" turned back the furious onslaught, penetrated the formidable defense, and emerged from the chectic battle on even terms with ancient and worthy rival. a Colorful crowd representing all walks of life witnessed "the Virginia Football Classic" which was one of the greatest games ever played in Lawrenceville from the standpoint of ability, mental and physical alertness, rhythm, variety, intrinsic sportsmanship and stellar officiating. While there were listless moments in the gorilla-like pigskin war, due to the fact that the rugged, experienced and tenacious machines were at their wits ends and on par at many stages of the fray, the many spectators looked on with unusually keen interest and cheered the mighty and brave gridiron warriors until the former's vocal cords reached a state of inertia. Virginia Normal threatened to score a touchdown twice. With "Bull" Turner and Epps on the throwin' end and Ross and Baker on the receiving end, the scintillating aerial attack of the Hilloppers was particularly dangerous. With four minutes to play in the first half, the Hilloppers knocked a forward pass offense that swept the Tigers off their feet. Two passes, 16 and 17 yards respectively, placed Virginia Norman on St. Paul's 7-yard line, first and ten. The third pass was knocked down by Smith, St. Paul's promising back, behind his goal and the half ended. In the third period, via a forward pass and a series of plays, with Sayers sensational gain through the line featuring, Virginia Normal, again advanced the ball to St. Paul's 7-yard line. They got 3 yards on the next play; but fumulted on St. Paul's 2 in line on the second down, St. Paul recovering the owl on her own 2 inch line. Tyler standing on his end zone line, confident that his towering forwards would hold, punted to midfield. Thus Virginia Normal's fond hopes and magnanimous bid for victory went to naught, for never again did the Orange and Blue come within the shadow of the final chalk mark. To designate certain players as stars in today's encounter would be a fallacy, because every youngster who entered the classic battle played a jammed up game and carried out his assignment to the very best of his ability. Some players shone brilliantly, but those who made it possible for the backs to gain, for the aerial game to be effective, and for the ends to get down under punts share equally the honors of the game. Coolidge's Plea For Fair Play Has Them Guessing (Continued from Page One) is that Mr. Coolidge's purpose was political rather than serious effort to sponsor such legislation. The storm of debate on this issue has raged through the halls of Congress for generations, with violent threats of a new secession and civil war if the South ever should be subjected to Federal regulation of the polls. Conversation now among the Southerners is in the same tenor. The most recent battle approaching the question was over the Lodge-sponsored Anti-Lynching Bill. Underwoo, Dem. from Alabama led a filibuster against the measure, which was attacked on the ground of constitutionality and invasion of States rights. The weak fear, however, was that it would be the forerunner of the Force bill or allied legislation. Mr. Coolidge's message was taken to indorse the Anti-Lynching Bill as well as the more drastic legislation. That his purpose, however, was to appease the Negroes without really intending to act is deduced from the fact that no legislation is in view to realize the resignations the President expressed. Also administration Senators admit no such legislation will be attempted seriously. None could possibly get into the hopper this session without blockading the supply bills. It man be tried later before the bi-elections, but only as constitutional gesture. The point on which Southern Democratic hostility rises to its greatest height is the charge that Mr. Coolidge played with the Ku Klux Klan all the way before election and harbored no such kindly sentiments for the Negro until election day had passed and it became politically safe to do so. *Feel True.

LIBERAL CREDIT TO ONE AND ALL! Wanderer of the Wasteland, New Paramount Picture, Due Here Soon. The first motion picture to be done entirely in natural colors is the Zane Grey Paramount production, "Wanderer of the Wasteland," which was produced in the original locale described in the book, the deserts of Arizona, by Irvin Willat. Jack Holt, Kathlyn Williams, Noah Berry and Billy Dove are featured in the principal roles. According to Jesse L. Lasky, first vice president in charge of production of Paramount, "Wanderer of the Wasteland" is Jane Grey's favorite story and the most popular of all the books he has given to the American public. "In this picture we have used the famous Technicolor process—the same process which proved such a sensational success in the Biblical sensational successw. o in the Biblical prologue of Cecil B. Demille's super-production, "The Ten Commandments." To achieve the best results we went to considerable expense and trouble so that the coloring of the picture might be as near perfection as it is possible to attain. A special camera staff organized by the Technicolor Company was sent from Boston. This staff took with it into the desert all of the intricate paraphernalia necessary for the photography of color pictures, the entire production company spending several weeks in camp, as practically all of the picture was photographed in the desert because of the color photography but also because of the dramatic story, which Zane Grey has written, we expect "Wanderer of the Wasteland" to prove one of the outstanding pictures of the year." "Wanderer of the Wasteland," which will be shown next week, Monday and Tuesday at the Attucks Theatre, is a story of the great American Sahara, when men braved unbelievable hardships in their hunt for gold—a hunt, which brought thousands into the desert—a hunt, from which more handful returned successful; many never did return at all. The more fact that this Zane Gray Novel soid over a million copies, is evidence enough of the popularity of the story. But when you see the picture, done entirely in natural colors at that, you'll say you never saw anything like it before in your life and be telling the truth.

You never saw so many and such beautiful creations in your life as are shown by Agnes Ayres in her role of a captivating designer of women's frocks, dinner gowns and what-not in her new Paramount picture, "Bluff," a Sam Wood production in which she is featured with Antonio Moreno which will be the attraction at the Attucks Theatre Wednesday and Thursday of next week. It's a veritable fashion drama against a background of New York, its most fascinating side—the luxurious Fifth Ave, gown palaces and artists' studios. There's a pleasing love theme running all through, of course, and there a bright comedy, a bit of gripping pathos and a dash of old-time gripping melodrama, too, with Miss Ayres and Tony doing more finished work than in either "The Heart Raider" or "The Spanish Dancer." Moreno has the role of an attorney commissioned to put Miss Ayres in jail. Instead he puts an engagement ring on her finger. "Bluff" has something for everyone, with a special appeal for young girls who are continually asking themselves, "If I went to New York could I win game, fortune and a handsome husband on my nerve and looks alone?" And how many of them haven't? There's a supporting cast that makes Sam Wool productions the big box-office attractions that they are.

Hampton, Va., Dec. 12—Following the well-won and thrilling triumph over Union University on Thanksgiving Day, the 19 sturdy knights of Hampton's football squad who won their cherished "H" met and re-elected Oscar A. Pindle of South Boston, Va., as the leader, of the 1925 football team of Hampton Institute. As far as it can be ascertained, such a signal honor as the election of a player to serve as captain for two consecutive years on one team has been awarded only twice before in Hampton's history. Pindle's work has made him a marked man on every gridiron; his powers of leadership have made him an asset to the eleven which he has been chosen to lead thru another season; his keen football intuition and sterling playing have been evident in many crises. These same traits will certainly be in evidence in the next football campaign. The confidence thus displayed in Pindle as a leader seems to be well placed. To be respected by his fellow-players and to be re-elected over other players whose work was equally outstanding speaks well for this smiling pivotman who leads the "team by the sea." Hampton Loses Two Players Two of Hampton's mainstays, David Gunn and "Jimmie Jones" played their last football game for Hampton on Thanksgiving Day, having played out their four years under the Blue and White. Both are now specializing in physical education and coaching at Hampton Institute. Gunn, who has also played his four years out in Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association basketball, is assisting with the coaching of the basketball squad. Hampton is fortunate in not losing more than two players. This year only six letter men returned to school. Next year Coaches C. H. Williams and Gideon E. Smith will have seventeen letter men of this year's team with which to open the season. In addition several letter men of former years will return.

Wilson's scrapping Bookers took the full measure of Novcom last week and lambasted the squad from across the "lizzy" to the tune of 14-7. The melee was hotly contested from gong to gong with Booker Washington clearly having the edge throughout, with the exception of, when Osborne intercepted a pass and raced 60-yards for Novcom's only tally. The local Hi eleven had the same advantage over the Portsmouth clan that it had over Washington when the squads met in November, only the Bookers had the steam to push the pigskin over when within striking distance of the goal. The scrapping Bookers' variegated attack buncoed Norcom and they made consistent gains and the visiting aggregation was unable to stem the tide. The first score came near the end of the first frame, when Norcom had been forced to punt out of danger and the locals started ripping off short telling gains with Johnson, Coble, Ross and L. Williams working in order. Then, Williams was thrown for a loss and a pass from Williams to Smith for 15-yards began the attack again that Norcom could not stop. This was followed with another pass, Williams to Johnson for 16 yards and Coble added 11 yards in two line thrusts and then he passed to J. Williams for 15 yards who negotiated the necessary distance to score. Johnson made the extra point with a drop kick. Norcom received the kickoff and was held for downs by Washington's impregnable defense. She kicked to the 50-yard line. Five minutes after the whistle sounded beginning the second period, Johnson eased over for Bookers next tally, after Tynes, substituting Ross hit for 12 yards followed by L. Williams for 13 more. Johnson added six and Coble backed up the gaining with 7 yards and on the next play, Johnson slipped through. The extra point was made by a pass, Johnson to Boyd. The game then sagged up and down the field Concert and Debate A Deacons' Concert and Debate will be held at the First Baptist Church Monday, December 15. All participants on the program are deacons of the First Baptist Church.

It's a Farmamount picture, which will be shown for the first time at the Attucks Theatre Friday and Saturday next week Lois Wilson is the girl and George Fawcett, Cyril Ring and Charles Stevenson are in the east.

Mr. Meighan had a good taste of the sea in "Homeward Bound" and has tried his luck at it again. Come again, Tom, we can't get too much of this. Musical Concert Great Success The annual musical concert under the auspices of the Sons of Norfolk second Calvary Church, Rev. Madison, Pastor, from every angle. Four choirs representing St. John's, Second Calvary, First Baptist and Bank Street Church rendered three selections each which reflected careful training and rare musical ability. Rev. Long, of the Church, made a sound, timely and interesting sound, guiding the work being done by Sons of Norfolk for the widows and orphans of the city. In his discourse he touched topics and used ancient illustrations to add emphasis to his talk. NOTICE This is to advise that Mr. H. C.

In the second half, Norcom's defense stiffened and the Bookers were not able to score again, but hit repeatedly for first downs when in midfield. Norcom then, resorted to an unavailing air attack and did not have a possible chance of chalking up a tally. The Portsmouth clan was unable to make a first down from scrimmage. The only first down for the visitors came as the result of a penalty and the score as the result of an intercepted pass. Practically the entire second string squad was sent into the fray and Norcom found the same difficulty here, she found with the first string men. Tolliver a sub quarter played well and showed the prospect of being a promising comer. He is a diminutive back, but was able to slip through for gains. Booker Washington's entire squad played good ball and it is hard to pick stars. In event there is an All-Tidewater selection made, Johnson, Boyd, Smith, Coble, Tynes, J. Williams, Diggs, Hart, Wilson and L. Williams are worthy of honorable mention. For Norcom, Adams was the bright light.

It was a season featured and punctuated with thrills, spills and everything else that goes in the making of an honest-to-goodness season of football. A space of rest has, now dawned for the many stalwarts who donned the molekskins to do battle for "Dear Old" whatha-may-call-em, but for the sport scribe who worked actually as hard as any man on the gridiron, braving the blast of piercing winds, unprotected rain-drenched press boxes and trod the soggy and muddy sidelines of the college fields, he has to carry on for a few more weeks exposing himself to severe criticisms and hurting-to-the-marrow sarcastic remarks, while going through the process of giving team averages, summing up records, picking individuals for the season's honors and the rest of it. --- From the vast multitude of football players who are above the average, the job of selecting specific individuals is a risk of life, limbs, peace of mind and future happiness. Further still, it is one of, if not the most daring and delicate situations to deal with. The green turfed, white chalk line fields abound in brilliant performers and those who have been branded as the luminaries are not a few in number, but unfortunately, incidentally or accidentally there are only eleven positions to be filled on a team and the wise one who first started this honor system business confined his selections to the number proscribed by the Official Rules Book. It is far from us who have wandered down the times following in the footsteps of that predecessor, to alter or change to suit our own fancies and whims, therefore we also must conform to the rule. The selection involves the comparing of record, skill with skill and may be a lot of other things that we know and others do not. Even after the most painstaking diligence and careful carefulness have been indulged in; there are those who will disagree, just because Bill Jones, was given the advantage over Sam Brown and Hezekiah the edge over Ramrod, etc. There will be an inevitable hullabaloo set up and the echo of the ringing disapprovals will haunt you until the dawn of another season, and then you are only forgot, because the din of the merry making reigns supreme. Some will no doubt challenge you to a duel, a fight or numerous other things that will not add to your health, while others may recommend an observation in a psychopathic ward under the hardened scrutiny of veteran aleinists. All right professor, play it soft this time and let us go on with the act. In spite of all the above, which is sometimes necessary as a prelude to a venture of this kind, some of us must take the chance of taking a "whack" at this business. Readers, fans and the rest --- Opp. Church St. Bank who may be listening at this, must realize the fact that a sport writer is only one person and it is a physical impossibility to cover more than one event at a time. In this attempt at picking individuals for the season's sectional honors necessitated a good bit of interviewing, argument and whatnot before conclusions could be reached, but as it is now it's a consensus of punctured opinions and we shall continue with the story. In a number of cases I witnessed the players perform in one or more of their big games and came under by observation, whereas in other cases, records have been obtained from releases which came under my immediate attention and the interviewing of such experts as coaches, officials and other persons who are not actively engaged in the pigskin industry, but none the less fully competent in telling who's who and why. Two selections are made, one is the first Virginia All-State Eleven and probably the first All-Eastern Eleven. In the Eastern selection, North Carolina was taken in and the area covered takes in every Association eleven. The State selection is confined strictly to Virginia and only two teams are selected. No argument as to why the players mentioned are named for these honors as this would involve and consumed too much useful space, but even if the teams as picked are not the cream of the sections represented, they are teams that any coach would be proud of and teams that will border on anything an All-State or Eastern Elevens can offer in the line of brilliant, seintilating, scientific and all around team play.

PAGE FIVE SOUTHERN COLLEGES STAGE POST SEASON GRIDIRON BOUTS Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 6—Seventy-five hundred people swarmed into Ponce De Leon Park here today to witness the post-season clash between Morehouse College and Atlanta University. It was a motley crowd. There were the two huge student bodies of each institutions garbed and arrayed in all the splendor of the Crimson and Gray of Atlanta and the Maroon and White of Morehouse. There were the two alumni; there were members of the Caucasian race and they composed nearly fifty per cent of the attendance; there were those bent on seeing the game, despite the fact that they lacked the necessary funds. And all of this interest was centered about the fact that two ancient rivals were meeting once more on the gridiron after a period of cessation of athletic activity which began in 1921. One of these rivals had been victorious in the past 13 games between them on the gridiron and held the crown of Atlanta colleges and oftimes of the South.

J.R. CUSTIS Giving Up Principalship Of Lott Carey School Where He Has Served 12 Years To Preach In The North. Fitting, tributes were paid Prof. J. R. Custis, principal of the Lott Carey School Wednesday night at a farewell reception ten- dered him by his co-workers and the Patrons League which he or: ganized, near the eve of his. re- signing from the post of princi- paiship and departure from. this city to enter a new field of endeav- or in New Jersey where he has been called to preach, Prof. Cus. tis has been principal of Lott Ca- rey, School for twelve years. he program consisted of vocal and instrumental renditions, pa- jpers and impromptu addresses by some of his co-workers, friends and leading citizens of ‘the com: munity. The sentiments expres sed by some whom were among the principal speakers may be summed up as follows: Rev. C. M. Long, “He has not built up = mon ument of stone or bronze that will corrode and fail in the passing year, but has built a more worthy monument in the hearts of men.” Prof. D. G. Jacox, “Out of the tw boys who left Norfolk to fit them- selves to do the work of this city, Prof. Custis is one of them, The need of the churches, schools anc the community is, men who ar’ true and honest.” Prof. Dungee “There are three phases of edu cational activities in which 1 have heen associated with Prof, Custis and have found him to be the same in all. There are two’ who occupy school rooms, a teacher and a keep- er and Prof. Custis is of the form: er, a man who carries with him always his work.” Prof. Hill, “We shall never, never appreciate the sterling qualities of Prof. Cus. tis, until he is separated from us.’ Prof, Southall, “We should be glad’ that Norfolk ean contribut a capable leader to a new field and be happy that he is Jeaving.” All the remarks rendered by the va. rious speakers were tinged with deep regret of the loss of Prof Custis to this community. The profound appreciations of the no- ‘ble qualities and the worthwhile ‘and unselfish services rendered by him were further expressed in the presentations of material tokens ‘of high esteem to him and his wife | given by the teachers and members of the Patrons’ League. : In the course of Prof. Custis response, he thanked his many friends, co-laborers and parents who assisted him in making the Patrons’ League a success. He stated that he was sent to Lot! Carey School twelve years ago and had 12 teachers and 600 pupils and in later years this number was in- creased to 87 teachers and 130( pupils. He also said, when he wa: first sent to the school by the School Board a man was on the grounds to ascertain whether 07 not he was honest and true, bu that he did not learn that unti later years. In closing his re marks, he said that he would ear ry with him the beautiful memory of his many co-laborers and friends that would never be forgot. ee MISS THE MAIN POINTS IN LIFE, SAYS “a IN SERMON Rev. Bowling Said, “Ease Is Often Rated Above The Spiritual Development That Comes Through Hardships” “And they reasoned one with another saying, It iv Uecause we have no bread.’ ‘The reaction of the diveiples here is, to say tho least disappointing,” declared Rev. Richard H, Bowling in his sermon at. the First Baptist. Church ‘last Sunday night. “They misread the Mnster’s meaning and pluced the emphasis on bread instead of on the spiritual truth he is seeking. to convey. It is the case of rating bread too high. ‘Their thoughts rested on bread when they should have sonred into x consideration of things spiritual, In their eaxe, what was mere bread to ‘be eerious about? They had but recently witnessed the feoding of ‘the four thousand. ‘They had missed the point, that was all. Jesus was not warn- ing against buying bread from Pharisce merchants, but of accepting from the Pharisee their peculiar un-Christinn bias. Matthew brings out the meaning by add- ing to the xtory of this incident, “Then understood they that he bade them not heware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees.’ Missing The Point “T fear many of us'still miss the polnt. Some things are of far more value than mere bread, Success _and pleasure acem so frequently to rate higher in our thought than the spiritual acomplishments of Ib- crality and service ‘There is a haste to be wellstowto, but no thought of helping a8 we 40, lifting as we climb. Our names appear often in the paper ns hostesses at swell parties but almost never us humble servants of the needy and lowly. Some of us spend from twenty-five to two hun- drew dollars a season dressing: for, travel- inge to, and witnessing the games, But we feel imposed upon when asked to give mere pittanees of these amounts in Church rally or for running the ehnrituble institutions of the town. “And then east is £0 often rated above the spiritual development that comes thru enduring hardness. ‘Think of the heir who sits around waiting for death to bring him a start, He docs not consider that the, start you give yourself thea hard work aiid frugality will do you far more ood than any mere legacy. Or take the tase of the Negro satisfied to remain a ward of the white man, so that he ean lake it easy.

Jones, director-general of the United States employment service, who addressed the seventh annual conference of the National Urban League here Tuesday. Mr. Jones took the place on the program of James J. Davis, secretary of labor, who is in South America at the present time. America is a/Christian community in which the interest of each citizen is respected and safeguarded by the others and in which the government seeks to play its rule of aiding all the citizens who are integral parts of the state. Our government is no longer an experiment, as whom dissatisfied people in the words of Dr. Jones, "it is a living force which has brought us to the forefront among the great nations of the world." "Your watchword of 'Opportunity rather than alms' is indeed symbolic of the American way," he declared, for where there's a will, there's an opportunity. A way, there's an opportunity. Social welfare, as I see it, is merely a refining process which we have applied to our civilization. Our civilization and our reverence for the Christian principle of loving our neighbors as ourselves have taught us to become our brother's keeper. American Labor Best In World That nearly all American employers are realizing that American labor, regardless of color, is the best labor in the world, is a cause for thanksgiving, is the belief of Mr. Jones. "American immigration restrictions, the speaker pointed out, safeguard the country from outside undesirables and watchfulness, such as the Urban League is exercising safeguards for within the general appreciation of the many opportunities which Americans enjoy. Government Service at League Disposal The delegates to the conference were reminded that their work, ludable as it is, is but the work of the government, and that whether the need be in New York, Atlantic Cleveland, or elsewhere, the government's services were at their command. "You will find competent Negro commissioners of conciliation at Washington and at Chicago, whose advices and cooperative services are at your disposal," he explained, "and I urge you to present requests frankly and freely, for we at Washington are but representatives of all the aims and sincerely interested toward your work. To this nation pledges the competence of its government and its protection. From you it asks for nothing more than the loyalty, and allegiance which you have given to it in the last generation."

Rockville, Md., Dec. 11—A. N. P.)—Theresa Freeman and Annie Timberlake, daughters of John Green, well-known colored farmer near Chevy Shase, have been held for his murder after an investigation held here. George was shot twice Saturday last during quarrel with the women at his home. The quarrel is said to have started over the disposition of some household furniture. Mrs. Green recently died and the daughters are alleged to have been attempting to remove cloth which they said the mother had given them, when their father objected. It is said that the father armed himself and threatened to kill Theresa if the furniture was removed. Mrs. Timberlake is said to have come from Washington, armed. After Mr. Green had been shot and covered with burp, he was dragged into the basement of his home. Friends of the women informed the Montgomery county officials who went to the house and discovered the body. Mrs. Theresa Freeman was first charged with the murder. Mary Wrack, a cousin of the women, was held as material witness, but was dismissed because of an infant baby of hers' needing attention at home. HEARD 'ROUND TOWN By A.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924 Head of Negro Organization Society [Picture of a man in a military uniform]. Encouraging Progress Reported By Negro Organization Society Annual Session Recently Held at Stauntonsburg, Va., Featured By Excellent Addresses of Speakers. Farmers Greatly Benefited (Special to The Journal and Guide.) Hampton, Va.—The Negro Organization Society has just closed a very successful meeting which was held in Fredericksburg. The people of Fredericksburg and surrounding county gave their hearty co-operation and the meetings were enthusiastic and well attended, especially the night sessions. The splendid feeling existing between the races was shown by the coidal welcome extended by the mayor and the kindly write-up given in the daily papers. Fredericksburg is a very interesting and historic town, located on the direct route over the tidewater trail from Norfolk to Washington. Situated at the head of navigation on the Rappahannock River, it is the main outlet through all of the Northern Neck of Virginia. It was settled by a fine group of people and the spirit of Friendship and cooperation still exists. It was held in the three Baptist Churches, this enabling almost the entire colored population of the workings of the Society which has for its motto: "Better schools, better health, better homes, better farms." Field Secretary makes report At the opening meeting, Mr. Lorenzo C. White, Field Secretary, gave a report highlighting rapport to what the group has accomplished during the year. Mr. White referred to the organization of school leagues, visits to leagues already organized, addresses given at religious conventions mothers' clubs, farmers conventions and other associations. Mr. White, under the auspices of the Society, gives his entire time traveling through the State, trying to simulate the lives of the people in the subjects above mentioned. Prof. Connor, of Virginia Union University, opened the session devoted to the discussion of education, by outlining very clearly the educational needs of Virginia and how to help meet these needs. Prof. Connor was followed by Mr. Gresham superintendent of education, and Dr. King, who represented the Virginia Baptist State Convention. These addresses were very inspiring, and the Society was eager to continue its great work among the people in the State. A very interesting health meeting was held in which Dr. Fred D. Morton, Clinician of the State Board of Health, told of the dental clinic in rural Virginia. He emphasized the necessity of caring for children's teeth, and expressed his willingness to go into any county in the State and continue doing the matter was taken up with the superintendent of the county and application made to the State Board of Health, Richmond, Va. Director of Tuberculosis Education You can make good money representing day, don't wait. We will show you how. AGENT DEPARTMENT, NO. 15 3235 INDIAN AVENUE Speaks All were much pleased with Miss Randolph, Director of Tuberculosis Education in Virginia, who spoke on the prevention and the cure of tuberculosis. Miss Randolph told of the excellent service which Virginia is rendering its consumptives and urged that every citizen be aware of the State Board of Health in order that treatment could be given at the Piedmont Sanitarium in Burkesville. This is the finest sanitarium of its kind, and indeed the only in the south for colored people. Dr. Gandy and Archdeacon Russel Talk on Work One of the most important addresses was given by Dr. J.ohn Gandy, on the aims and purposes of the organization. Archdeacon Russell, principal of St. Paul N. & I. School, in his usual happy vein, spoke beautifully of educational institutions and rural contact. Dr. Russell made special mention of what St. Paul had done in Brunswick county, in stimulating the people to accumulate property, build homes and educate them. Mr. W. T. Sanger, secretary of the State Board of Education, called attention to the efforts which Virginia is exerting in the improvement of her citizens, and the importance of having the children attend school regularly. Mr. Thomas J. Edwards, Principal of the Boys' Manual Labor School, and Mrs. Janie Barrett, Supt. of the Girls' Industrial School, made reports of what the State is doing towards reclaiming delinquent children. Those two schools are doing splendid work for children who have been deprived of proper home training and who have been convicted by the police. The state will have intelligence supervision. The state is fortunate in having institutions where these children may come in contact with these two strong Christian characters. Mrs. L. B. Forbes, the only police woman we have in the State, gave many interesting examples to illustrate what she had been able to do to make life better in Petersburg. The organization endorses the appeal that other cities in Virginia be provided with police women to look after delinquents, especially among colored women. Farm improvement is Noted. The subject of farming was widely discussed by Mr. John Bentley, district administrator of boys' clubs; Mr. G. W. Owen, N. I. L. I; and Mr. T. E. Patterson, district farm demonstration agent among farmers. Farm conditions show great improvement and much noise is due these gentlemen for the untiring effort which they are exerting. Mr. T. C. Walker was present and spoke in his usual interesting manner of social betterment in the State. Having been in this work for years, Mr. Walker can speak authoritatively and no one more thoroughly enjoys the (Continued on Page Eleven) See Our Exceptional Values—You'll Be Surprised at the Low Prices. FOUR HOUSTON RIOTERS FREED FROM PRISON Four Former Soldiers Convicted For Participation In Houston Riot Get Their Freedom On Parole. Leavenworth, Kan., Dec. 11—(P. N. S.)—Four former soldiers, convicted for participation in the Houston, (Tex.) riot of 1917, were arrested on federal prison Wednesday night on parole. Their names were among nine for whom certificates of parole were received by Warden Biddle on the eve of Thanksgiving Day. Those freed were: John Geter, John H. Gould, Edward Porter and James Mitchell. Their Life sentences had been committed to 20 years, by a special War Department board which held hearing at the prison last spring. It is said, Mitchell, especially had reasons to be thankful, he told Warden Biddle, when notified of the paroleer. Once he heard carpenters erecting the scaffold at Fort Sam Houston from which he was to be hanged. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by President Wilson. Mitchell has been leader of the prison orchestra. The destinations of the men were kept secret when they left the prison. All have been provided with employment, it was stated by Warden Biddle. Only 31 of the 67 Houston riots brought here in prison. KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- All work an no play Makes lotta Dumbells Prematurely gray. Well.

S—"I think, to say the least, it is an outrage for a Negro policeman to be sent by the city government of Washington to preserve order among a group of Southern men, who think it is so many white policemen in the District of Columbia. Will you please tell me who was responsible for this and why it was done? As a Southern man and member of Congress on the District Committee, I resent this action of the Police Department and respectfully demand an explanation. You should appear before that body and explain this action or apologize for it."

Others spoke of how diplomatic he was in leaving immediately when he found that his appearance had restored order, saying, "He would remain on the sidewalk for a time in case he was needed."

FOUNDER'S DAY OBSERVED AT SHAW UNIVERSITY Fifty-ninth Anniversary of Founding of Shaw University By Dr. Henry Martin Tupper Observed. The fifty-ninth anniversary of Founder's Day was observed by students and faculty Monday, December 1. Dr. N. F. Roberts, a Shaw graduate, who has been in the services of the University for fifty years, delivered the principal address. His address was a eulogy of the founder and first president, Dr. Henry Martin Tupper. Dr. Tupper, when a young man, fought in the Union army to free men's bodies; and after the war of the Rebellion, established Shaw to free men's minds from the fetters of ignorance. Fired with a firm resolve and a passionate belief in the high-principles of Jesus Christ, Tupper almost single handedly, accomplished this task. President emeritus Meserve spoke on the beautiful and serviceable life of Mrs. Tupper, who was a constant source of inspiration to Dr. Tupper. The dean of women, Miss Charlotte Murray, spoke also of her acquaintance with this splendid Christian woman. The members of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, the only recognized Greek letter fraternity at Shaw, attended the services in a body wearing the fraternity flower, beautiful white carnation. After the services in the chapel the audience went to the grave of Dr. Tupper upon the Campus where a brief service was held and a large floral design placed on his grave. After the services at the grave the audience went to the new science building, which is now under construction, where the president of Shaw, Dr. J. L. Peacock laid the cornerstone with appropriate ceremony. Washington, N. C. ROPER Roper, N. C.—The Union Meeting convened with the E.M. Brewre Church Sunday and was largely attended.

STATE NORMAL STUDENTS PRESENT "QUEEN ESTHER" STATE NORMAL STUDENTS PRESENT "QUEEN ESTHER" Appreciative Audience Witness Presentation of Biblical Drama In Song By Well Balanced Cast. Elizabeth City, Dec. 11—The cantata Queen Ester presented by the State Normal School students of Elizabeth City, N. C., was a decided success. On Thanksgiving night, November 27, 1924, an enthusiastic and appreciative audience practically filled the school auditorium to see Ester, the Biblical dramatic cantata repeated. This cantata was given in five nets with several scenes. Act 1 opened with the chorus singing praises to Human, which was not only impressive but very colorful. The chorus of Persians clad in their bright oriental colors, sashes, and turbans of red, blue and yellow made a striking contrast to the chorus of Jews clad in white robes, black sashes and mourning head-dress. In Act 2 Mordeeni plended with Esther to petition the king in behalf of her people. The dramatic ability of Prof. L. L. Henderson, who took part of Mordeini, the Jew, clearly manifested itself in this scene. Act 3 opened with Queen Ester entering the court of the King. Esther unbiddable and扮着 far her people. Act 4 unbiddable and the downfall of Hmanan and Act 5 closed with the banquet at which Mordeeni was exalted, the enemy whom Hmanan was forced to honour. Miss Rebecca Mayo, as Queen Esther, and Mr. Edward Mohane, as king Ahauserus, came from their respective schools to repeat their parts which they played and kingly in their royal robes, erminely and kingly in their royal robes, erminium-trimmed and bedecked with jewels of oriental coloring and splendor. The king and queen in act 5 seated on the lofty throne, attended by stern guards clin in scarlet with silver shields and spears, the small pans with cage costumes of the emperor and scarlet, the small pans with maidens and maidens in white mantles, the warm bright colors of the Persians in contrast with the darker mantles, the warm bright colors of the Persians in contrast with the darker bases of the court attendants, truly gave one a delightful glimpse of the regal splender of Biblical times and the triumph of Mordecai was lived anew.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1924 With A Policy of Service and Progress SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924 Special Edition in Celebration Of Fortieth Anniversary Shows Remarkable Progress And Vision WAS FOUNDED BY CHRISTOPHER J. PERRY Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 4—(A. N. P.)—Forty years ago there appeared in the city of Brotherly Love a four-page paper. Its aim was to bring before the colored element in the city a record of the happenings that would seem to interest them. Prior to that time there had appeared in this city no journal that sought to bring to the attention of this group anything having an immediate bearing upon their lives and their activities. Men of vision, like the founder of this paper, the late Christopher J Perry, builted wiser than they knew. Every worthy enterprise destined to live throughout the ages must pass through the "fire." This the Philadelphia Tribune has done it came on the field during the great Reconstruction Period; if fought its own battles; it's friends battles, and engaged oftinces in losing fights for the cause of the Negro, which it vouchsafed to champion. For a long time in the East, it was in a field by itself in speaking out boldly for the good of all. It worked for men and women who did not even give the Tribune financial support. It was tried; it proved true. "The old order changen," and the Philadelphia Tribune, keeping pace with the times goes on to larger service. From a mere sheet in its infancy, to an eight-page weekly during its adolescent stage, on to a twelve-page paper at its full maturity, to a sixteen-page weekly, published regularly and going into every state in the Union, marks the progress of this newspaper. I tstands for the best and cleanest journalism. It goes on to good in its chosen field, believing that the press comes next to the public school in its importance. Its advertisers have been added to from year to year. With the passing of its founder those of his own household caught the spirit and the business continues. New wine is seldom put in old bottles unless the bottles be sound. New life was put into the Philadelphia Tribune when the young daughters of the founder assumed charge, and called to the editor's chair, E. Washington Rhodes, a young man of training, of keen intellect, who immediately set about his work of achievement. Is a thing true? is it news? Is it worth while? Is it instructive or informing? These questions must be decided in serving the growing number of readers. It aims to present vital truths; it pictures American life. In its onward march the staff of the Philadelphia Tribune is conscious of the things of the spirit—peace, joy, contentment—and goes on and on to higher functioning. In the Fortieth Anniversary edition of the paper, a photogravure section was printed which bore all appearances of being correct style and newspaper design, and placed before the vast number of readers of the journal in pictures, important events of Afro-Americans. Among the number of pictures were found, the editor, the staff reporter and feature writer, the writer of Sunday school news and one of the latest model automobile delivery wagon which speeds up the local distribution of the paper; the last year's Howard-Lincoln game and the work being done by the local clinic for the care of the unfortunate kiddies.

Hampton And Tuskegee Get $250,000 Gifts Banker Who Desires Name Withheld Makes Large Gift To Schools, Denoting Interest Increasing in Education New York, N. Y., Dec. 11—[A. N. P.—] Announcement has just been made by Clarence H. Kelsey, an official of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund committee, of a gift of $250,000 to the fund for the two schools by a New York banker who asked that his name be withheld. Kelly is sympathetic of the increasing interest of large affairs are taking in Negro education. Bankers, business and professional men and other leaders in public and industrial life have come to a realization that the Negro community be treated like Inequality, he said. The type of education fostered by Hampton and Tuskegee makes a special appeal to these men. The two schools train Negro young men and women to be real producers and leaders of their race. The General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation recently pledged $1,000,000 to Hampton and Tuskegee University two institutions raise an equal amount.

New York --- Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my shallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

Mrs. Maggie L, Walker of Richmond is due the congratulations of her fellow-citizens in having completed most successfully twen- ty-five years of public service. As bank president and organizer of women and men she occupies a unique position of rare use- fulness and helpfulness in her community and in the State and Nation, Here’s hop- ing that she will live to celebrate many more anniversaries in robust health and vigor. England's high hand in Europe is finding rebuke not in the State Departments and the Chaneelleries of the Nations, but among the thinking people of the Nations who discriminate between right and wrong, and England will suffer. Does she care? Austria, which once ruled the Christian world did not care; Spain, which once ruled the Christian world, did not care. Now they are as so many ciphers of influence in the Nations: We have to have regard for the éternal verities, or pay for disregard of them. Mark that. , It,has been interesting to note the re- actions to President Coolidge’s recommen- dation to Congress on the race question, Brief as it was some Southern congressmen pretend to see in it a hint of the so called force bill, which Senator Lodge sponsored unsuccessfully in the early days of his career and others see in it an attempt to “further invade” States rights. As a matter of fact it would be very difficult for some congress- men to see anything good in any recommen- dation that Afro-Americans be relieved of such oppressions as lynching and given their full constitutional rights. The enjoyment of full constitutional rights by all Ameri- can citizens would, not be compatible with their political opinions and traditions. The Journal and Guide Rated . Editorially the Best The ambition of those who make the JOURNAL AND GuIDE has always been to make it the best newspaper ever, strong and judicious in its treatment of men and measures, Those in the main offices of tho newspaper and those on the big field, work with one purpose, and our host of readers have shown their appreciation by the steady inerease in the number of our patrons. The success of the paper in these directions has invited the confidence and patronage of ad- vertisers, Working force readers and ad- vertisers make a newspaper what it should be, It is only of recent years, within the life of the Journat, anv Guine, that Afro-Amer- ican newspapers had much working force, yeaders or advertisers. They did not live; they simply existed. ~ Tt is not so now. Our newspapers like every thing we have had to build from the bottom are beginning to show great strength and influence, mostly for good. Mr, Eugene F. Gordon has been collecting ‘Afro-American newspapers for more than a year, some two hundred of which we now have, not all of them strong, most of them weak and struggling to live. He selected from the 200, twelve of the best for the pur- pose of finding which of them excels in the vital matters of news, editorials, features and make-up. He finds that the Chicago Defender has the lead on the four counts, “with 91 per cent, while the Baltimore Afro- _Aimerican come second with 83 per cent, ~ahd the JOURNAL AND Gute. third with 76.5 per’ cent.

The |' [g@y TH se “y + Rae eae ee ae zg ES Gf | President Coolidge is the prophet of big business and economy in the expenditure of | public moneys. In season and out he has stuck to this program. He went to the "American people on it and they gave him | such an overwhelming endorsement as to surprise the country and demoralize all of the opposing parties and factions. If the country had any fault to find with Presi- dent Coolidge and his economic policy and budget system they did not show it in their voting. This must be supremely gratifying to the President. It gives him a free hand, and if he can get the Congress to support him and his most accomplished Secretary of the Treasury, the prosperity of the country should be great during the next four years, as he has the well nigh solid support of big business and the wage-earners, in spite of the influence of Mr. Samuel Gompers, the most powerful labor leader in the world, to divert organized labor support from him. White folks have a peculiar knack of voting the way their bread and butter lies and of looking after the pennies and giving the dollars a chance to take care of them- selves. ‘They seldom make a mistake in this matter. We are beginning to regard the matter from the same viewpoint; that is, to vote for men-and measures that conserve most nearly and surely our best interests. We have not always been wise to do it. Mere’s the pity. In his Message to Congress, President Coolidge dealt with the budget. He dealt with the year 1926, He estimated the sur- plus for that year at probably $373,743,714, and for the current fiscal year, ending June 30, 1928, at $67,884,489. The fiscal year closed with a surplue of $505,366,000, which was $$175,727,000 more that he predicted in his budget message of December, 1923. He thinks there may be room for large re- duction in taxation if we do not embark upon new and expensive projects. “The President estimated the total re- ceipts for the fiscal year 1925 at $3,601,- 968,207 and the total expenditures, includ- ing public debt reduction, at $3,534,083,808. These are comparable with actual receipts for the last fiscal year, ended June 30, 1924, of $4,012,044,701.65 and actual expenditures of $3,506,077,716.34. “Rstimated expenditures for this year consequently exceed actual expenditures for last year by $27,106,093. There is, how- ever, a sum of approximately $100,000,000 due on the bonus January 1, 1925, which is contained in the second deficiency appro- priation bill and $14,000,000 additional bonus expenses which must be figured into the cost of the current year.” Some idea of the vast wealth of the Na- tion ean be imagined by its Federal taxation, which is only a part of the taxable values, and does not include the values of the States and their counties and cities, Earnings of the wage-earners and the profits of business are s0 great as to stagger the imagination. We lead the world in industry and thrift and in the volume of our wealth. It is the proud consciousness of the Afro- ‘American people that they have helped in every direction to produce the vast wealth of the Nation. They are doing it more s0 today than in former years. They have caught the economic and financial stride and are producing and consuming more than ever before, and they are doing it more intelligently. They should keep on doing it, building for the future material strength and standing of the race. Faith in Ourselves Absolutely Essential The fact that fifty leading men of the race in various departments of business gathered at Durham, N. C., recently upon the launching of the new million dollar National Negro Finance Corporation, of which Dr, Robert R, Moton is president, is ‘one of the most gratifying things growing out of the twenty-four years of agitation and building of business, with the National Negro Business League as the soul of the movement. Those who founded the League at Boston, in 1900, had dreams and saw visions of the future business growth of the race, and those who sucvive of the first organizers are not surprised at any growth in business that we have developed, because it was for that, that they planned and worked and hoped. Faith in ourselves, in our capacity and intrinsic values of all sorts that make for wealth and standing among men, has been: largely a growth of the life of Business League, almost a quarter of a century ago, It has been « slow growth, because there was so little to build upon in 1900; a founda- tion in faith, in cooperation, had to be made, It is not too much to say that the foundation has becn made, and that it is a good one, It is easy to go on with the building when the foundation has been made. ‘The development of the race in its busi- ness and financial interest during the next quarter of century should be enormous, and we believe that it will, We have learned to trust each other and to pull together, and that is the most important thing in coopera- tive effort; given that and success should be reasonably certain when we consider the steady increase in race numbers, In race education, in higher moral living, in wage- earning and saving, in home building, it is easy to see that the race has a great future before it, building upon the splendid founda- tion it has made during the past quarter of a century, The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is enthusiastic over the prospect, which is nl- luring from every viewpoint, and it takes, some pride in having helped build the foun- dation and building somewhat upon it. So cari our workers, our subscribers, our ad- vertisers, take pride in it. We have the even step; let us keep it. Spirit of the Press Le An Honor Actually Earned Front tae te What is or should be of particular in- terest to newspaper publishers, editors, re- porters and printers, as well as educators among our group, is an article in the De- cember issue of the Opportunity magazine on the twelve leading Negro newspapers in the country. The writer, an experienced white newspaper man of Boston, has made a careful analysis of all these papers for twelve months, for excellence on newspaper reporting, editorials and make-up. For ex- cellence on general appearance and editor- ials, our esteemed state contemporary, the JourNa, ano Guive, of Norfolk, “carries home the bacon.” It is a considerable honor actually earned, Our congratulation! Racial Integrity and Propinquity From the Virginian-Pilot, | A State forbidding the marriage of white | persons with colored persons offers its citi- ene better insurance against such mar- riages heing legalized than a State imposing no such prohibition, The assertion can go no further. No miscegenation law at pres- ent conceivable can prevent marriage be- “tween a white person and a person who, though suspected or believed not to be ai- together white, cannot be proved—in the legal sense—to be in some degree colored. ‘That was the diffieulty in the Rockbridge case recently dveided by Judge Holt. ‘That will always be the diffieulty. And the dif- ficulty is not made easier by the Virginia scheme of registering the popullution as to race, and constituting the registration cer- tiflcate competent evidence of racial iden- tity in the issuing of marriage licenses. On the contrary, we suspect that this system will in the end defeat its object. Unless we breed an exceptional race of local registrars, we may look for a thriving business of reg- istering persons of unproved ancestry as pure Caucasian, It is precisely those who feel themselves to be most in need of this documentary protection that will be most active in acquiring it. Having provided themselves, at the small cost of 25 cents, With a coat of official whitewash, they will forever afterwards be immune from mar- riage license bureau suspicion. The difficulty of the adult registration law is that it comes upon the scene many decades too late, The time to begin regis- tering was when the white masters of An- drew Jackson's period and earlier became the fathers of a mixed race. A useful pur- pose can be served by the mandatory ra- cial rogistration of the new-born even today, but even in this enterprise racial registra- tion runs squarely into the “whitewashing” danger already alluded to. The best that can be done today, it would scem, is to lay down an absolute prohibition against racial intermarriage, to document the new-borh where the racial origin is not in doubt, and to avoid the racial documentation of any- body whose racial origin is uncertain. If the foregoing seems to fall far short of providing adequate safeguards against miscegenation, the answer ix that there are no such thing as complete safeguards against the fusion of races dwelling in con- tact with cach other. It is not the legally contracted marriage between white and col- ored people that has been the chief source of our hybrids, but the union sanctioned neither by law nor by society. Against this type of “marriage” there is no conceivable protection. It is the product of propinquity and elemental human instincts and nothing in the shape of statute law is likely to stop it. Given one setting and it produces a sensa- tional liason between a lowly English Nor- die and the brown-skinned heir to an In- dian throne. Given another setting and it weds a scion of the Knickerbockers to the tinted daughter of a drayman, Given still another and continental setting, and it pro- duces the great race problem’ of the South- ern States. Whoever knows how to curb human love and how to extirpate human lust, has the key to racial integrity.

The Negro should learn that he is a Negro and not try to be anything else, never mind how bright his complexion may be. In the future it will be known, ‘The Anglo-Saxon race is true to the Negro so long as the Negro is true to himself. There are better chances that await the colored man so soon as it is found out that he is worthy of them. The Negro is human, that I do know, but he must exercise ood judgment before it can be developed into manhood. The Negro must be educated by all hazards; that is the only redemption for the Ne- gro race. He must have a mor- al character with high principles. First he should learn to respeet his colored ladies, also he must protect them when it is proper to do so. All other races do, We are going to do better for the advancement of the Negro race of which we are all one. James HuGues Norfolk, Va. Merited Reccgnition | Editor Journal and Guide, | Sir:—I was greatly pleased to note that Mr. Eugene F. Gor- don, a member of the staff of the Boston Daily Post, accords the Jourwar, ann Guine first place for editorial value in his analytical evaluation of tho twelve most outstanding Negro newspapers, published in the De- cember number of Opportomity magazine; (New York.) — ‘That Mr. Gordon also accords the JOURNAL AND GuIDE first place for “excellence of make-up and sgeneral appearance” is not sur- prising to those who have fol- lowed with interest and appre- ciation the marked development of your excellent paper along mechanical as well as editorial lines. In according the JOURNAL AND Gute first place for editorial value, Mr, Gordon, whose criti- cisms are entitled to the weight of authority, is no doubt sus- tained by 9 great majority of those who-read the hest of our race papers. It has been my pleasure to observe that the JoURNAL AND CUtoE is more fre- quently quoted by papers of the opposite race, especially the Lit- cvary Digest, than any of the publications of our group. ‘The survey by Mr. Gordon, which takes all of the newspa- pers of every seetion of the coun- try and accords the JouRNaL ANnD GuIDE first rank for edi- torial and mechanical exeellence brings to mind the high standing your paper enjoys at home, which was so appropriately ex- pressed more than a year ago by the Virginian-Pilot an excellent morning paper, which said edi- torially in referring to the Jour- NAL ax Guive: “In make-up, presentation of news, and above all in its carefully considered opinions on the many-sided race question it represents the hest that Southern journalism has produced.” Mr. Gordon, by applying standards universally recognized as the plumb-line for correct newspaper making now arises to make the home endorsement national and unanimous, and I fam sure that I voice the senti- ‘ments of your neighbors and the great majority of yolr large circle of readers when I exten you most hearty congratulations upon receiving this merited ree- ognition.
