XXIV No. 51 MOB BOYS DORMITORY IS DESTROYED BY FIRE AT SEDALIA Valiant Work Saved Adjoining Brick Building Only Recently Completed At Palmer Memorial Institute. LOSS ESTIMATED AT ABOUT $10,000 (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 18—New Hall, the dormitory for boys at Palmer Memorial Institute at Salida, school for youths of our group, was burned to the ground, Friday night, December 12, and considerable damage was done to the Alice Palmer Freeman building an adjoining brick structure which has just been completed. The estimated loss was about $10,000 in buildings, about $3,000 of which was covered by insurance. The clothing and personal effects of the 40 boys who roamed in the frame building were practically destroyed. The flames started from a defective flue in the lower part of the building about 8:30 o'clock at night according to the report of the student janitor, Robert Partice. All the students had gone to a lecture in the chapel and no one was near the building which burned save the janitor and two sick boys on the second floor. The latter were removed without injury. The only injuries sustained were cuts and bruises which some of the students sustained, breaking the floor from main building. Heroic efforts were made to save the main building. Provision Made For Care of Boys Some of the boys were without hats when they took stock after the fire. The principal said that some immediate provision would be made for a place for the boys to stay. The institution is in oblast of a campaign price $150 for a building and buildings. A Mr. Steele, member of the Burlington Fire Department, happened to be passing and stopped to assist in fighting the flames. He took charge of the fighters and it was partly due to his efforts that the main building was saved. Little Water Available Fight Flames The only water which was available on the campus was from the school system which could not throw the stream high enough to do any good. It had to be placed in buckets and carried to the walls. This is the fifth building which has burned on the campus in last few years. The building which burned December 12, 1923 was erected 455 at about 5,500, at which price it could not be replaced now. Damaged estimated at about $1,300 was done to the main building. LIBERIANS WOULD DEPORT SYRIANS Monrovia, Liberia, Dec. 18—(A. M. P.)—A movement of much significance is now on here, combining the efforts of several Liberian organizations to have the proper officials in charge as president in this country and deported on the ground that they are undesirable aliens There has been growing repugnance among the Liberians to the presence of the foreigners, finally culminated in representations being made to the president of the Republic. The particular charges made against the Syrians are that they are cunning and unfair in business and make competition too tough for the Liberians. It is explained that when the Syrians first came to the country there were a number of Negroes in business, but that of the former merchants only one remains. They were "run out of gas" by the Syrians. It is also said that the Syrians dirty and have very low standards of living, and the government is reminded that is should take similar steps to those taken by the British when the Syrians were driven out of Sierre Leone. In 1914 there were 12 Syrians in Liberia. Now there are more than eighty. There is great fear that the number may soon exceed a hundred unless an exclusion policy is adopted.

RACIAL GROUP TO GET BETTER THAN AN EVEN BREAK The Grind of A Closing Administration Will Soon Give Away To The Blossoming Of A New One. Washington, D. C., Dec. 18—(A. N. P.) The eyes of America are turned to Washington. The grind of a closing administration will soon give way to the blossoming of a new one. The change will be spectacular. President Coolidge has yielded to public sentiment—meaning the business interests of Washington—and, with the cordial suggestion of Senator W. M. Butler, Republican National chairman, there will be mammoth doings in the capital next March fourth. Hotels Plan For Mar. 4 Hosts So far as "we and us" are concerned the inaugural hordes, coming from all compass points, will make the Howard-Lincoln football crowds, which almost overflowed into the Potomac, look like a more advance guard. Already numerous hotels reservations have been made at the chief hotel, with the hope that the service, which has gone "backward oh, backward," because of financial difficulties and retarded management, will rise to the occasion. Officials of the hotel have made this promise. Citizens of Washington, who are endeavoring a friendly of public spirit, are giving assurance that Washington will "measure up to requirements," whatever that may mean to an amble but earnest public. Department Segregation Doomed In the meantime, politics is ticking, ticking. In the meantime, the old times, cynics, skeptics, renegades and band-wanglers all have their ears glued to the listening post and their eyes stretching out of their sockets, in a merry effort to wise up on the trend of events—or find something to kick about. As fate would have it, they are finding little to kick about, and much to commend. It seems to be written in the stars that the Honorable Calvin Coolidge, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts—state history history, Court of Attacks in the State of California—determined to be a sure-enough President of all the people. Every development points just that way. Unfriendly sleuths, thus far, are finding it impossible to discover any low down or petty policies; while on the other hand, more instances than ever are being recorded in the public prints, are being uncarted where the silent executive from Northampton, has been brave and on the level. Segregation and discrimination, as a policy of Federal Government affinity, do a change in sinuous death it should have, and when a morning. Colored America must recognize this new advent of a larger justice, in order to properly measure the distance in the march of progress. Expect Justice From New Administration The Associated Negro Press correspondent can state on the highest authority that there is a comprehensive and well planned purpose on the part of the Coolidge administration to give this racial group better than an even break. This word has started from the questioned "top" and is trickling the "ear" of the humble most official. It is in the most thoughtful, it is cautious. The feelings of some very sensitive folks, from the sunny sections of America may be hurt for the time; there will be some who will lose their official heads, and there may be some ugly remarks from the never-die lips, but the "die is cast" and "Sun-Kissed America" is in for an open session for new open interviews in the group of later stories; will be later giving a number of specific incidents, and to call some very interesting names. In the meantime, "Peace on earth and good will toward men"—may his tribe increase! STATE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL RECOVERS Orangeburg, S. C., Dec. 18—(A. N. P.)—President R. S. Wilkerson of State A. and M.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 Indians Consent To Live On Reservation Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—(A. N. P.)

S.)—Trustees of Howard University adopted resolutions Tuesday refuting what they described as anonymous statements reflecting on the University's administration and deploring the attempt of certain group to represent the institution's attitude regarding the Crampton bill in Congress.

He said that the things he asked of the people present, he has done, is doing and intends to continue to do so. He said, "If you do not possess the fundamentals of citizenship, every elective citizen of the district is against the this individual business wont go across. The real advance is in the real recognition of the group. Right in your hands, you have the possibility of doing something here in Norfolk." Dr. Pickens asserted that the association has been fighting sixteen years for colored people, without an apology to anybody. He further stated that, "There can be no such thing as segregated equality. The association takes as its platform, equal citizenship for everybody on the American soil. The N. A. A. C. P. has more facts about colored people than any other organization."

NO DAMAGES FOR THE HOST WHEN HIS GUEST DIES ON VISIT Judge Rules Against Woman Who Sued Estate For Expenses Incidental To Death of Guest In Her Home.

Only about a third of the solicitors reported at the meeting and the amount raised by them during the past week was $1056.07 which brings the total to $2121.07. Those who have been working have done well and it is expected that the drive will go over the top, and is also believed that the success of the drive will have a ten-dency to draw money from other sources.

Anderson, S. C., Daily P. Horrible Details Woman by a White HOME INVADED, WIFE MURDERED, CHILD INJURED Anderson, S. C., Daily Mail Gives N. A. A. C. P. Horrible Details of Murder of Colored Woman by a White Man By N. A. A. C. P. Anderson, S. C., Dec. 18—The home of a colored man was invaded by a white man. Joe Wright who shot and killed the man's wife and accidentally wounded one of their children. The story of the crime was made with the N. A. C. P. from the Anderson, S. C., Daily Mail dated December 8. Wright had been charged by the colored husband about a year ago, of a crime against his wife. The colored man had Wright indicted on charges of such a crime and the case had been twice postponed. It was due to be heard before the court of general sessions at Abbeville, in January. On December 5, Wright, who was motoring with a few friends, all of them having gotten whiskey, stopped before the colored man's home. Wright said, according to the Anderson Daily Mail: "I generally drive my own car, but I was a little too full, and I got one of the boys to drive for me. I was riding and telling him which way to go. I had the car stopped and they thought, I guess, that I had gone in there for some time. "I went in and did what I intended to do and came back out, and got in the car and told them to drive on. I told 'em that I had killed a dam nigger woman." The colored man, his wife and their children were seated at dinner when the white man burst into the room, and with the question: "Where's Rebecca," opened fire and continued shooting while the woman jumped up and ran out the door. Wright went to the door and continued firing, hacking out then and rejoining his companions. The Anderson Daily Mail, commenting upon the crime, asks for justice against the murderer, and says: "It is useless for us to tell of what would have happened had the positions been reversed—had it been a Negro man who entered the home of a white man and committed such knows what would have happened. We do not want with maudlin sentiment, to attempt to prejudice the case against the prisoner; nor do we want to array class and color in such a manner as to argue for his acquittal. We do, though, want to remind those from whom there has been such a book, how the observer is now, that here is an opportunity to prove sincerity." --- (By N. A. A. C. P.)

He was told, grand lodge, the Grand Exalted Finley Wilson was invited to he was formed to elect officers, were gone through. Some one, not understanding what it was all about, upon learning that the grand lodge had been formed, shouted, "This is no grand lodge, this is the Manhattan Lodge. We pay rent here." The Exalted Ruler, then went over, shut the Bible and ordered all present to go home, it is alleged. The squire ordered the lodge to the wall when somebody stuck a pistol under his nose and ordered him to leave it alone, and here is where the scrimmage started, in which Wilson was struck and had to be escorted from the room. Deputies N. B. Sterrett and Samuel B. Mitchell, Grand Tiler Blondie Brown and Bucky Terry were among those who escaped with him. The altar and expensive chairs were smashed in the flasco, while John Lovett had to be carried from the room. Dition was expressed as grave. He received, both external and internal injuries and a nervous shock. The Other Story The affair has two stories to it and the following is the other: It was said that a group composed Lovett, D. F. Sterrett, Harvey Hainch, Chas. D. F. John Ponsen and Chas. T.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 WASHINGTON TO HAVENEWBEACH WASHINGTON TO HAVENEWBEACH Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—(P. N. S.)—Work on the proposed bathing beath on the north side of the Tidal Basin for the use of colored bathers will be pushed promptly with the iden of having it completed as early as possible, Lieut. Col. Sherrill, in charge of public buildings and grounds said Thursday. The deficiency appropriation act carried an appropriation of $72,000 for this purpose. Plans for the bathhouse have been prepared and the contract for its construction will be let within the next thirty days. The building will be of concrete, and will be of the same size as the present one on which the south side of the Tidal Basin, used by the white bathers. The structure will cost $55,000. Ready by the End of July It is expected it will be completed and the beach will be ready for the bathers by the end of July. With the facilities to be provided it is estimated that it will accommodate between 5,000 and 6,000 bathers a day. The bath house will accommodate 2,000 bathers at one time. In addition to the construction of the bathhouse it will be necessary to haul tons of sand to give the proper slope to the beach for the bathers.

The pieces of leaf are masticated and then placed in small heaps which result under certain conditions in the growth of an edible fungus. While this foodstuff is in course of growth the ants are content to eat orange and banana pitch. These ants, unlike the usual specimens, are not impeded by water. In the most ingenious way they can take the pieces of rose leaf from their heads and form a little bridge of cut leaves, permitting the construction of a temporary bridge.

Students Act As Pallbearers For Millionaire St. Augustine, Fla., Dec. 18. Andrew Anderson, millionaire resident of St. Augustine, Florida and intimate friend of the late Henry M. Flagler, founder and builder of the Florida East Railway, was buried recently at St. Augustine, Florida. D. Anderson was beloved of both races in the South. The funeral services were held in the Flagler Memorial Church. This great edifice was filled to overflowing with sorrowing friends of the deceased. Nearly one-half of the Church was occupied by Colored people. By request, the active pallbearers were eight young men, students of the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, St. Augustine, Florida, a Colored institution of which Dr. N. W. Collier, is principal. The honorary pallbearers were some of the most prominent citizens of this section of Amerien.

It was clearly demonstrated how the Liberians for the last one hundred years have had to fight hordes of savage natives, and how wonderfully they had stood, with practically nothing to hold on.

Dr. Charles S. Morris, D. D., an eminent divine, one of the most eloquent Baptist ministers, moved the audience to its feet at the afternoon session on Monday, when he spoke on "Some Needs in the Redemption of Africa." He appealed to the sacred honor of every Negro in the United States, saying that God had given the American Negro this freedom in order to make it possible for the larger freedom of the world—Africa in particular. Dr. Morris mentioned the needs of a hospital to conserve the splendid heroic pioneers who leave America and must be nursed until they are acclimated and also to nurse missionaries when they are sick. He also mentioned as one of the great needs an African Tuskegee where the natives of Liberia could be taught up-to-date farming and the industries.

Finley Wilson Taken From Meeting Under Police Protection (Continued from Page 1.1) invited to be present in order that he might control the meeting. Steele had been using Czar-like methods, it was stated, however most of the members were in favor of having Steele serve his seventh term and objected to the interference in their ledge by outside lodges. Thomas Brown, Exalted Ruler of the Imperial Lodge stepped into the meeting hall, only to find staring him smack between the opties a pair of shining, dangerous looking fire arms. He immediately turned upon his heels and made it for the safeness of the wide open spaces of the outside. In no time, he found himself in the further safeness of his home, where he called over the telephone to ascertain how things were going on. It is said, that bad feeling existed between J. Finley Wilson and Dalmus Steele and it took active shape some time ago, when Steele insulted Wilson at a banquet. Order was finally restored and the ledge went through with the election of officers. CITIZENS HONOR NOTED SCHOLAR (Continued from Page 1.1) Teacher's College and Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, sent letters praising Dr. Scarborough for his service in the field of scholarship.

Miss Ernestine Rose made an address of behalf of the library and said that she was glad to open the doors of the library to such a scholar as Dr. Scarborough. Walter Stevens spoke on behalf of the citizens, and said that the colored citizens of New York were proud to honor him a public wan. George A. Fleming spoke on behalf of the Association of Trade and Commerce, and said that the association was glad to number Dr. Scarborough among its members. Dr. Gustavus Henderson one of the prominent colored physicians of New York told of the inspiration he received from Dr. Scarborough when he visited Howard University when he was a student. J. Eghert Allen spoke on behalf of the Johnson C. Smith University Club, and said that the young college men of the country reverenced the name of Scarborough. Rev. John R. White told of meeting Dr. Scarborough at Wilberforce. Richard B. Harrison the noted dramatic reader gave several selections from Dunbar. Musical numbers were given by Nelson B. Scott and Miss A. C. Weston, pianist. Others who praised the noted Negro educator were Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, and Mrs. Josephine Frazier. Dr. Scarborough in his response said that he was glad to meet the citizens of New York. In the course of his address he said: "The Negro needs a historian to he able to place the Negro where he belongs."

Colored people own millions of dollars worth of property, because of the defense put up by the N. A. A. C. P. "Business needs social and moral support." He also stated that, out of every dollar spent by the association in the defense of colored people, ninety-seven cents of it is paid by them. He asserted that, "The man who pays the fiddler, not only tells him when to change the tune, but when to stop fiddling alto- We have greatly reduced every pair of shoes in our store. $6.00 and $7.00 shoes, $4.95; $8.00 and $9.00 shoes, $5.95.

Association Stands Firm on Policy to Maintain Ideals of True Sportsmanship. Expresses Good-Will Toward Howard. Trusts Howard Will Reconsider Withdrawal Hampton, Va., Dec. 18-For the past three years or more, members of Howard University faculty and board of athletic control have from time to time expressed the opinion that unless some changes were made in the C. I. A. A. rules with reference to eligibility, which would give Howard greater freedom in playing athletes who might enter the university from the members of the C. I. A. A., she would withdraw from the Association. At the thirteenth annual meeting of the Association, which was held at Lynchburg, Va., on March 4, 1924, Howard's representative served notice on the Association that Howard would withdraw, unless she was granted the privilege of playing men who had been members of Association teams not of collegiate grade; that is members of C. T. A. A. teams who had played two or three years against Howard in athletic competition, would be allowed to have four years more competition, should they enter Howard. The Association would not agree to this proposition, but sent a committee, Dr. W. G. Alexander, Messrs. W. A. Rogers and C. H. Williams, to confer with the athletic authorities of Howard in Washington on May 10, 1924. At this meeting a change was made in the rules, which Howard interpreted granted her permission to play C. I. A. A. athletes on their entrance into Roward. All other members of the Association, including the committee which met with Howard interpreted the rules just opposite to the interpretation of Howard. Sub-sections III and IV under Eligibility, about which the question of interpretation arose, read as follows: "No student who has been a member of a varsity team of an institution in the Association shall become a member of a varsity team in another institution in the Association until one year shall have elapsed since his connection with the former institution. "No student shall be allowed to represent his institution or take part in an intercollegiate contest who has conditions in more than one course. A preparatory student who plays one year on a C. I. A. A. team, will not have that year counted against him in case he should enter the collegiate department of any other institution in the Association. Should he play more than one year, each year from the first shall be subtracted from his four years of participation." This ruling on Eligibility is to be interpreted as follows: "No man who has represented any institution in the C. I. A. A. as a varsity player can represent any other institution in the Association to which he may transfer until one year has clapsed." The question of interpretation of the rules was brought to the forefront this season by Howard playing Mr. Robert D. Miller. Mr. Miller played at Union last season and was picked as all-C. I. A. A. guard. He entered Howard at the beginning of this school term. Howard played Miller against non-association teams which they had a right to do, if they so de- The Southern Oligharchy BY WILLIAM H. SKAGGS. Published by The Devin-Adair Company, 437 Pifft Avenue, New York City, Price, $5.00 By mail, $1.15. The Southern Oligharcy, to this Southern writer, is the Southern government from the days when slavery fastened itself, as "the peculiar institution," upon the Southern states. Today it is a government by the democratic party, in slavery times it was whig as well as democratic, but the point that Mr. Skaggs proves conclusively in his 450 pages is that it was and is an Oligharcy, that democracy has never had a chance to function in the Southern states. "The present Oligharcy that rules the South is almost a complete replica of the radical and reactionary leaders of the slave Oligharcy before the Civil War. The leaders of the present Oligharcy habitually affect a supercilious air of provincial and a bnormal sensitiveness which has been easily and conveniently used in support of the spoils, system and in perpetuating their rule over the great mass of white and colored people in the South." Like Helper of North Carolina in 1857, Mr. Skaggs of Alabama, pours out an indictment against the pernicious, narrow, partisan rule of the Southern states. It is a terrible picture of a backward corrupt cruel land. The book deals with present conditions, illiteracy, health, the courts, lynching, the chain game, convict labor and peonage. sired. Their first Association game was with Petersburg on November 8. Petersburg protested Miller, but Howard played him under protest, claiming it was their right to do so. They did the same in the Hampton game. Conferences were held regarding Miller's case. Howard authorities refused to withdraw him, stating it was simply a question of their interpretation, against that of the other members of the Association. After the Hampton game telegrams were sent to all members of the Association asking for an opinion on the Miller case. There was an unanimous vote as to Miller's ineligibility. It was at this time that Lincoln sent Howard a telegram, stating that, unless Miller was withdrawn, she would not play Howard on Thanksgiving Day. Howard withdrew Miller from the Howard-Lincoln game on Thanksgiving Day, but contended that the position was justified and that she did it because she was unwilling to accept the responsibility of disappointing the thousands of persons who had arranged at great expense to attend the game. On November 28, Howard wrote the Association, reminding it that at the thirteenth annual meeting Howard was at the point of withdrawing, but deferred action pending a conference. Since the results of the conference did not suit the Howard authorities, their Board of Athletic Control on December 12 sent the following telegram to the Association at its fourteenth annual meeting: "Mr. Charles H. Williams—Howard announces its withdrawal from the C. I. A. A. We regret that we are forced to this step by the impossibility of reconciling collegiate and high school standards in the Association, and hope that our pleasant relations with the member institutions may continue." This was signed by Edward P. Davis, president, Board of Athletic Control of Howard University. C. I. A. A. Letter To Howard From Lawrenceville, Va., on December 13, 1924 the C. I. A. A. through its Secretary-Treasurer, sent the following letter to Mr. Edward P. Davis: "The C. I. A. A., in meeting assembled, regret deeply that Howard University has found it necessary to withdraw from our Association. "The Association, after careful deliberation, accepts your withdrawal. We feel that our stand on the question involved is correct, and that we will have public support just as we are sustained by the members of our Association. "The Association feels that it is incumbent upon it to say to Howard that it has but done its duty in attempting to carry on the spirit and letter of our Association, and, in futherance of that policy, cannot in justice to our ideals of true sportsmanship, a range athletic contests under conditions which destroy the integrity of the Association. "With good-will toward Howard the Association trusts she will reconsider her withdrawal out of her desire to serve the best interests of our youth in the educational institutions." By MARY WHITE OVINGTON (For N. A. A. C. P.) It cites case after case and opinion after opinion. Even to one innured to those terrible tales it brings fresh evidence of the iniquity of Southern conditions. "The most appalling record of crimes in the world," is the title of one chapter. And this crime and the backward condition of the mass of the Southern people, white and black, Mr. Skaggs believes is "largely the result of the policies and practices of corrupt politicians and pettifogers." The Oligharck makes money out of the fee system and the chain gang; it does not care how cruel convict labor may be so long as it reaps a substantial profit; it desires illiteracy since only the ignorant can be continually exploited. The author admits the existence of corruption and extortion in many parts of the country, but wishes his readers to realize that whereas in the North and West one may agitate and uproot evils, in the South the individual is helpless. There is no popular government, no agency through which to function. You cannot put one party out and another in. The growth of Populism, the South's one democratic movement, is dwelt on, and the enormous frauds noted that threw out the populist vote. Then, when a fair count was demanded, the Oligarchy entrenched themselves the more with new state constitutions and registrars appointed by the dem- A fresh contribution in this important book is the story of "Son of Satan" Passes Board of Censors WILL APPEAR AT ATTUCKS XMAS DAY WILL APPEAR AT ATTUCKS XMAS DAY Andrew Bishop and Miss Ida Anderson, Famous Negro Drama Stars Head The Greatest "All-Race Picture Yet Screened.

Patrons of the Attucks for three days will have the opportunity of seeing the first and possibly the only showing of the most talked of Colored picture that has ever been screened in the State. Owing to the fact that the showing of this picture in the entire State depends on the management wish to come soon to the crowds which will throng the theatre. "THE SON OF SATAN" starring Mr. Andrew Bishop, who is known to all the theatre-going public by his presentation of "Within The Law," in which he portrayed the part of the inspector; "To a Spider," "Over the Hills," "The Unborn Child," etc. Supporting this popular dramatic star is a powerful colored cast including Miss Ida Anderson, who now plays the villain, Players, who created such a sensation here in "Branded" and other standard dramatic plays. Mr. Lawrence Chenault, proclaimed as the meantest villian appearing in Colored pictures; Edna Morton and Shinzie Howard, have also been seen here in various screen plays. The comedy of this picture is handled by Emmett Anthony, who you will never forget after witnessing him as "Gang" in the Broadway Rustus, Mr. Anthony is ably assisted by E. G.

Mr. Monte Hawley and Mary Dove, of the Unloved Wife company; Marvaret Brown, the musical comedian; Walter Robinson, the father in the Girl who Came Back: Milwaukee Smallwood, the dainty toe dancer, in My Friend From Kentucky, all have wonderful parts in this production. Appering in the ball room scenes of this picture is the chorus of the original Shuffle Alley, covering all of the scenes of Paris gowns which are sure to please the ladies.

We had thought there were giants then, but apparently they were only feathering their own giant nests. The ruling class wasted the state's money, controlled the banks, and raised for themselves many questionable loans. Mississippi began her career of repudiating her state dept in the forties. More than a million dollars of school funds were wasted in the good old days in Mississippi alone. The "sixteenth section school funds" might have made the Southern states as well educated as any Northern commonwealth but they were squandered before the Civil War. One feels that reconstruction had little new in it in the way of corruption. Mr. Skaggs, believes that the Negro has been used by the Oligarcy as a scapegoat. By preaching fear of the black vote and race hatred the politician has continued to exploit the common man. The black man throut it all has often behaved with grave dignity. He has suffered Special Attraction At The Attucks Theatre Monday and Tuesday Only THE FILM Handsome Antonio Moreno and charming Helen Chadwick, in a romantic scene from the Paramount picture of Zane Grey's latest novel "THE BORDER LEGION."

B.)—Film producers are at last learning what stage producers learned long ago, that the true Negro type whether for pictures or stage cannot be reproduced thru black-face impersonators. Even the greatest stage Negro-impersonator, Al Jolson, so seriously doubted his ability to register as well upon the screen as upon the stage that he revoked his contract with D. W. Griffith in the comedy "Be Yourself" later released under the same of "His Darker Self" featuring another black-face impersonator, Lloyd Hamilton. In comedies, the Hal Roach, Larry Semon and Educational Film studios have 7 Negro comedy actors under straight contract and use many others as "extras." In the dramatic productions the colored actors had one of the best years on record, with not a single day is 1921 in which some colored actor was not at work. a stain on Negro fame, blood, or live, or die the same, heart's, the clasp of Negro hands? and shame him as he stands. bed within its own proud light, hen has fashioned deed or might; so Europe's thunder tone, unrivaled and alone. he has watered hill and plain crush or freeman's rights to gain; ear, has held it tamely by, do and noble death to die! t!

"A large majority of the people of the South are neither more dishonorable nor more dishonest, nor are they less patriotic than the citizens of other sections of the United States. It is in their political affairs that they have permitted an oligarchy to debauch their institutions, retard their industrial progress, hinder their educational advancement, and bring their social system under severe but just criticism. And this intolerant political party punishes all criticisms of its policies and methods." One feels quite sure that Mr. Skaggs no longer lives in Alabama. Will his book be known? I can think of no better propaganda than to see that it at least reaches the chief libraries of the lands. It has not the verve of Helper's impending crisis, but it has far more valuable material and should be of incalculable value to the student of Southern conditions. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The colored film employment agency in the country exclusively engaged in supplying studios with Negro actors, reports 500 calls in 1924 from the different studios. TID BITS It is known that the temperature within the earth increases at a fairly regular rate as the interior is penetrated. At the depth of a mile it is, too hot for a man to work in most regions, and in some places the temperature at a much smaller depth increases to a heat unbearable to human beings. Added to the increasing heat is the increasing pressure that the overlying rocks create. It is believed therefore, that no account of boring skill will enable man to visit the earth's interior. The use of monkeys in warfare by the Chinese dates back to the time when the Mongolians captured Pekin. The monkeys used are the "Wah-Wah," called after the peculiar call they make when angry. They are tailless, always walk upright, and when fully grown are about 4 feet in height. The monkeys are captured when quite young and are kept in a small but situated on a lonely plain.

The sessions were enthusiastic, interesting, and profitable. Everything that would tend to enhance the inner and outer workings of the Association was discussed with the hope of reaching that ideal in athletics towards which the C. I. A. A. is striving. There was not a single violation, complaint, suspension passed over, but everything was well aired and amicable adjustments obtained. Matters of great and immediate import were brought to the attention of the organization, and each proposition, suggestion, and report was given careful and proper consideration. The body judiciously and expeditiously handled the many problems which appeared on the 1924 calendar, and used wisdom and discretion in its actions. The decisions reached and the rules made will be far reaching. The splendid results attained, and the renewed determination of the member schools to uphold the integrity of the C. I. A. A. will have a dynamic and dynamic athletic and physical education in the Association schools and on athletics and physical education generally. Dr. W. G. Alexander, graduate manager of athletics of Lincoln University, was elected president of the C. I. A. A. for 1925. Dr. Alexander is a man of national reputation, and is known for his magnanimous achievements, and demonstrated ability. He is election to the highest office in the gift of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association bids fair to continued progress in the growing and prominent athletic association. Howittus withdrawal Howard University's withdrawal of her membership in the C. I. A. A. was among the outstanding things that occurred in the meeting. The members of the Association, being fully cognizant of the reason for Howard's radical step, promptly accepted the latter's withdrawal and outlined a policy to pursue that is in full accord with public opinion. As long as Howard remains outside of the Association, no school in the C. I. A. A. will participate in any branch of athletics with Howard University. The A. A. and T. College of Greensboro, N. C., was unanimously admitted to membership in the C. A. A. A. A. and College is a pioneer in Negro education in North Carolina with facilities, resources, and questioned ability to complete successfully with schools in the association justify the decision of the C. I. A. A. A. The Association sanctioned the tennis tournament for 1925 to be held at Shaw University. The Virginia Track and Field Meet, which will be probably held at Virginia Union University, was also sanctioned. The Virginia meet will be staged two weeks prior to the Hampton National Meet. The list of officials was revised and augmented.

HOWARD MAKES BOOKERS DROP PLANS FOR FINAL GAMEFOR '25 SQUAD STATE HONORS or contest depends largely on competent and impartial officiating The Association feels that the officials for 1925 are men of commendable calibre. The Howard-Virginia Normal and the Howard-Hampton games were played under protest. The ruling of the C. I. A. A. forfeited these games to Virginia Normal and Hampton, respectively, due to the participation of an ineligible player. The fifteenth annual meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held at Hampton Institute. Washington, D. C., Dec. 18—Plans for building up a great Varsity football machine to represent University for the 1925 season were begun by the Board of Athletic Control of the University at a meeting held December 11, when it was unanimously voted to select Louis L. Watson as coach. Mr. Watson is already connected with the University as Head of the Department of Physical Education. He is a graduate in Physical Education from the Springfield (Mass.) College Education and also graduate of the College Department of Howard University. His success as a coach of football was evidenced by the splendid eleven which he built up at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, Virginia, from which institution he was called to take the place as head of the Department of Physical Education of Howard University. He also was successful as coach of football at Howard University in 1923 by putting on the field an eleven which went through the season of 1923 without a single defeat. Watson To Be Assisted By Stef. of Exports The selection of Mr. Watson as coach for the 1925 season is an indication of the intention of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University to keep step with the larger institutions of the country in the matter of placing collegiate athletics on a high ethical plane, by getting rid of what is termed the "seasonal coach system" of a person directly connected with the institution as a member of its faculty. Mr. Watson will be assisted in the work of developing a representative eleven for the season 1925 by some of the best trained men in this sport, including such men as Charles West, the All-America national Washington and Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, for the past three years, and who is now connected with the Department of Physical Education of Howard University. Mr. West will be only one of the highly trained staff to which Mr. Watson will look for assistance in developing a team which alumni, students, and friends of Howard will be able to support in the coming season. Careful Study Given To Athletes at Howard That the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University is definitely interested in securing the very best results in the 1925 season was shown by the unselfish expenditure of time and the intense study given the matter of the selection of a coach. The Board went into session at 7:30 p.m., m., and adjutant till 9:30 p.m. Every phase of athletics at Howard was considered in its minuteest detail. The first action of the Board was the unanimous decision to accept the principle laid down by the American Athletic Association, which principle has recently been adopted by the Harvard University Athletic Association and other institutions of similar standing, that a coach should be a member of the University Faculty. After this decision was reached there was considerable discussion about the need to offer the place to Mr. Louis L. Watson, head of the Department of Physical Education of the University and a member of the University Faculty, thus putting participation in the sport of football at Howard University on a high ethical plane, Representative Team Assured The Board of Athletic Control of which Dr. E. P. Davis is chairman, promises to present for the 1925 season to alumni, students and friends a most representative varsity eleven. Other members of the Board are: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, business manager; Professor St. Elmo Brady, secretary; Dean D. O. W. Holmes, representatives of the university; Mr. Edgar Westmorland, and Dr. Fred F. Durrah, representatives of the alumni; Mr. Luther S. Bylor, T. J. Anderson and Raymond Dokes, representatives of the students and Mr. Louis L. Watson, Director of the Department of Physical Education. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Deaf Boy A New Fritz Pollard Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 18, -(A. N. P.)—Johnny Sheppard, the brilliant race fullback on the Pennsylvania Institute for the Deaf, has caused a sensation among the schoolboy football team. He was called as second "Ferris" Pollar. The Mute team has just completed the season undefeated, and in the game with the crack Ridley pard took the ball on his own 15-battled to a 3-3 tie. The game was played in four inches of mud and the brilliant Sheppard brought the ball down by his broken field running and his defense, playing. Last Saturday the Mutes made their last game with Temple University and as usual Sheppard was the outstanding star of the game. The Mutes won 31 to 0 and the colored Mute made two of the four touchdowns. On one occasion Sheppard took the pall on his own 15-yard line and placed it on Temple's 15-yard line. A few seconds later he carried it over. His forward pass perfect and resulted in many gains for his team. Sheppard has been placed on the All Philadelphia schoolboy eleven and the All-Suburban schoolboy eleven. BOOKERS DROP FINAL GAMEFOR STATE HONORS Hampton, Va., Dec. 12—After being hold scoreless for three and a half periods the Union high school football eleven musterzeen enough reserve strength to push steadily down the field with line plunges and end runs and cross their opponents goal line for the only touchdown of the game, defeating the strong Booker T. Washington high school squad of Norfolk by a 0-0 count and incidentally coping the colored high school championship of the state in a hard played game on Armstrong Field at the Normal school yesterday afternoon. The Union players showed their ability to keep their slate clean for the season, when they defeated much of the high school team. Although the contest was unusually close, the teams being well matched, the Hampton team deserved their victory, clearly outplaying their opponents on the offensive and defensive. Minkins, the flushy fullback on the Union eleven, accounted for the lone tally when he crashed through the line for the score after he and the other Union backs had worked the ball steadily down the field. The score came when the final quarter was about half gone. The local eleven barely missed pushing the ball across their opponents line in the initial period, when n Diggs, the fast-stepping quarterback for the Union team, raced around right end and missed scoring the touchdown only by inches, as he went outside. The backs missed and tuck afar from the start, and up until the time that the touchdown was scored, neither eleven showed the necessary punch to push over a tally, although the backs on each eleven pulled off a number of sensational runs in their own territory and midfield. Borden, who did the kicking for the Union eleven, outdistanced Coble, his opponents, by a wide margin, on punts throughout the game, while Cook and Owens played good defensive bull against the visitors. Robinson and Diggs clipped on gain after gain thru the line and around the ends for the Johnson, right halfback for the Booker T. Washington eleven, was the principal ground gainer for the visitors. Once he broke through the Union first defense and was on a fair way for a touchdown, until Diggs pulled him down after a 25 yard gain, Boyd, the Norfolk right, played a good defensive game for his team. A large sized crowd witnessed the contest, while the student bodies of the two schools were on hand to furnish the necessary local port which they did with win. The Hampton colored band were the music makers for the after- The Union school has gone undeafed this season and their victory over the Booker T. Washington eleven gives them the undisputed colored high school championship of the state, which needless to state, provided a source for much rejoicing among their followers here last night.

B.)—Before 47,500 enthusiastic cheering fans, Syracuse University representatives of the East, went down to a 16 to 0 defeat, their less than adversaries, the University of Southern California, in the big intersectional grid classic held in the Exposition Park Stadium last week. Syracuse Outplayed In every department of the game save kicking, Syracuse was outplayed. Next to the spectacular playing of Hobbs Adams, demon end of California whose two blocked punts and long pass put Syracuse deep in the hole early in the game; the brilliant and clever work of the great Negro guard, Brice Taylor was one o the greatest exhibitions of defensive playing the Pacific Coast can ever hope to Taylor Saved The Day Taylor Saved The Day in the Writing in the Los Angeles "Exminer" Tom Thorp, noted football experiment and official says, "Taylor, the Negro guard, is a defensive player of sterling quality. Few-men back up a line in a more substantial way than this sturdy star. He comes up to meet an in- coming back with the speed and power of a locomotive. His fine playing did much to stop Syracuse's attack. Once when Mr. Bride, Syracuse star back shook himself loose and was on his way for a town to U. S. C. by getting the Syracuse star from the year. This play, to our way of thinking, was one of the bright features of U. S. C.'s playing." Taylor, deprived of a left hand by Mother Nature, came to Seattle, Washington, where he was the sensation of the Northwest in High School athletics. Besides a star football player Taylor is a track star of promising ability. Albion Academy Grid Season Closes Football in Albion is just two years old but Coach A. J. Taylor has developed an invincible gang. Albion gained her place in the N. C. I. A. C., by losing just one conference game during the past season. At a recent banquet Mr. Walter Greene of Sanford was elected captain to lead the Tigers in 1925. Mr. Nathaniel Martin, the captain of 1924, gave the squad to his successor; and expressed his regret in 1925. The 1925 squad will lose only, Mr. Martin, the captain of 1924. NORCUM DOWNS TUSKEGEE HUNTINGTON; CELEBRATES SCORE 7-0 Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Dec. 19 --- Newport News, Va., Dec. 16—With chilly winds hovering over a hand full of fans who stood under lowering clouds, the Norcom High School eleven dumped a surprise into the camp of the Huntington aggregation, when the former squad got away with a 7-victory in a post-season benefit fry. Stronger on the offense than the local had expected and with an almost impregnable defense Norcom proved to be the party to one of the season's upsets. Adams was a real menace to the Newport News team with his sensational broken field running. The entire first half was featured by Norcom outplaying Huntington and the visiting team was able to keep things even in the second stanza with Adams returning punts and d ploughing holes through the line in grand style. Soddy Daisy played for the Newport News squad. He played a steady and consistent game at fullback. The first and only tally of the game came after a short punt by Huntington giving the Portsmouth school, the ball on the 40-yard line Off tackle plays and forward pass sees from kick kick formations paved the way for the lone score in the game. The easy striking distance was plunged over and the extra point was registered. Huntington started on two advances in the third and fourth periods respectively that seemed destined to net a touchdown. In the third quarter Williams intercepted a Norcom forward pass under his goal and ran it to midfield. An exchange of short punts gave a Huntington that will guard within sight of the goal posts. However, intercepted forward pass threw cold water on the attempted drive. In the fourth quarter a Norcom back kicked high in the air and the ball belonged to Huntington on the visiting team's 40-yard line. A 33-yard pass, Sedgwick to Williams put the ball on the Portsmouth team's 7-yard line. Two plays were tried that brought them nearer, goal but the final whistle put an end to a Huntington rally.

Much credit is due Coach Young, his assistants, and the squad of "Lincoln Lions" for the high, clean brand of football displayed during the entire season. Lincoln's record of this season is really very impressive. Of the six Association games played Lincoln turned in decisive victories in five and a hard fought 0-0 tie game with Virginia Union.

CHAMPIONSHIP COMMITTEE: H. D. Martin, chairman; J. L. Purwear and J. L. Whitehead. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Dec. 19 —The Crimson and Gold of the Tuskegee Institute Tigers' standard prevailed and an atmosphere reckoning of football permeated the spacious dining room of "the Oaks" Wednesday evening, December 10 when Mrs. Booker T. Washington, widow of the Founder of the Tuskegee Institute, was hostess to a dinner in honor of Coach Cleve L. Abbott and his staff. The exploits of the Tigers were recounted; the deeds of the four burgemen related; the effective work of the coaches lauded and many anxious moments spent on the bench of "the Board of Strategy" disclosed in the conversation about the festive board. The story of the Tigers' gridiron prowess was, however, more vividly depicted by the eight footballs, symbols of victory, scattered about trophies, each labelled with the score of the particular game in which it saw service, every time it had played and 243 points while their opponents had scored only 25. A ninth ball was suspended from the ceiling, crossing the improvised uprights that had been erected over the center of the table. This was inscribed: "Champions of the S. E. I. A. A. 1924.

If plans of local athletic organizations are carried thru, they bid fair to plenty of honest-to-goodness actions this winter. The Norfolk Athletic Club has thrown its hat into the ring as a basketball contender. In the last meeting held by the club, a caging quint was formed with Willey A. Johnson, Jr., formerly of Shaw University named as head coach. Preparations are being made for a strenuous season as a number of games are expected to be scheduled. With the Norfolk Athletic Club, the Community Center and Booker Washington High school on the local courts, there will not be many inactive nights. These baskettles will furnish enough athletic amusement to keep interest in fever heat at all times. From indications, the trio of basketball squads that will represent Norfolk this winter will be of high merit. Booker Washington put out its first quint last season and the boys acquitted themselves well which holds all ear marks of a better team. The team that the Community Center team will have a number of college representatives in the lineup who are out to down all teams encountered. The Norfolk Athletic Club bounds in basketball material that only needs developing and Coach Johnson is expected to do this phase of the work.

Prof. Wilson Heads Bible Class Professor Owen Wilson was elected president of the David King Bible Class of the First Baptist Sunday school at their meeting held at the Community Center on Tuesday night, succeeding James H. Ferebee, who has held the position for the past year. The members of the class have noted with alarm the large number of men in Norfolk who attend no Sunday School and they believe that under the proper stimulus these men can be brought into the Sunday school before they turn on the down-word path. With Owen Wilson as their leader and Melvin E. Diggs, as their teacher they believe they will be able to put their program over in a manner indicative of the value of effort well planned and wisely executed. The other officers are: Vice President James Coleman; recording secretary, Mosse Jacos; financial secretary, Roland兰坦; taurenner, Rufus French; chapin Milton Lasister; scegant-at-arms, Giffor Taylor, Mr. T. C. Mulligan; the men were Mesk Maceo Chughill, Ernell Jackson and Harrison Marrow.

Stewart, of Chicago was presented and delivered, in his own characteristic way, a message long to be remembered by all who were fortunate in hearing him. In the afternoon, Mrs. Grace P. Bowling, was presented to a representative audience which she thrilled with her eloquence and wholesome words of wisdom in her plan for "Christian Ideals." This meeting was under the auspices of the Women's Missionary Society which has a big program for the Master's Kingdom. Mrs. M. E. Gordon is the efficient president. The Sunday school and B. Y. P.

Long preached a sermon that was stirring, long of the spirit, and convincing to the Bank Street Congregation Sunday morning. The subject dealt with, "The Testimony of The Sinner," from John 9:28, was treated pointedly by many striking illustrations were used by the speaker in conveying the thought as to the effect of God's grace and pardon upon the sinner. "One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see, is the appropriate song of rejoicing in the month of all the redeemed of God. Next Sunday at the morning service, Rev. Long will preach a special sermon on "Christmas." Grand Chancellor Wins Injunction Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 18.—(A. N. P.)—W. S. Willis, grand chancellor of the K. of P's, of Texas, won out in the injunction case which was filed against him and 96th district Court, June 2. Judge other grand lodge officers in the Lattimore in dismissing the case said that his court was without jurisdiction and also said further that the injunction was full of holes and leaky. This was a great victory for the official staff of the Grand Lodge officers of the K. of P's of Texas, in that it practically put an end to the legal battle that has been staged between the members of he Order and the Grand Officers. "Modern Knowledge Makes Certain Old Views Of The Second Coming Absolutely Untenable." "Touching the doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ, the average Christian is likely to be unsettled and holds the whole matter in abeyance." This was the opinion expressed in his sermon last Sunday night at the First Baptist Church by the pastor Rev. Richard H. Bowling. Continuing he said, "But sooner or later our own minds must be satisfied. We will want to reach settled conviction on the matter. It was vital to the early church, to the apostles; and, if we are to accept the sayings attributed to Jesus as genuine, it was vital to the Master. It stands to reason, therefore, that must be恭敬 up in the expression of this belief upon vital element for our religious life." At this point the spenser gave out dozens of Scripture references from Jesus and the New Testament writers which were found and read by some of those who had brought their Bibles with them. These resections all proved, he said, that the promise of a return of Jesus to the earth was undeniable. Evident Discrepances "But there are evident disperpencies of view as to the fulfillment of this promise. And you do not wonder, when you consider the many possible interpretations and mis-interpretations of the event. For example, the promise was for early fulfillment. Note the words of Jesus, the New Testament church, and the Revelation 'Kingdom is at hand' . . . Someone here, who shall be wise to taste death here, shall be the Son of man coming in his kingdom. . . . Immediately' 'I come quickly' . . . . 'The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness' . etc., etc. These words are, to say the least, disappointing if meant to be taken literally. For nearly 2,000 years have rolled by in material fulfillment, if the event be made materialistic views on the Second Coming have met with disappointment during all ages. Untenable Views "Modern knowledge makes certain old views of the Second Coming absolutely untenable. A physical return as described in Revelation is against our present scientific knowledge of the universe. The earth for us is no longer flat and peopled only on one side. God would anticipate, that God would right things for Israel politically by catastrophic incidences, is the expense of the rest of mankind, is of out harmony with our Christ-given ideals of democracy and individualism. . . . Precennialism as based on Revelation is contrary to the simple spiritual message of Jesus. Solution For Difficulties "The solution for our difficulties is found in noting that Jesus spoke of different 'comings'. And then there is the analogy of the First Coming to serve as a guide for the fulfillment of the Second Coming. Who could have accurately pictured the historic Messiah out of the words of the Old Testament prophets?" That is one reason Jesus was so constant in misapprehended by even his closest follower. The language present in the first coming was largely figurative, picturing the event more general outlines. Also, it is perpetual fulfillment in every life, in every age, and in the great crises of history. His words have biblical value. "Therefore he ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh." COMING EVENTS Edited in the interest of patrons of the Printing Department of the Guide Publishing Co.

LINIMENT ODOR (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Washington, D. C., Dec. 17—The Trustees of the National Training School for Women and Girls held the largest meeting in the history of the institution, at the school, December 11. Men and women came from every section of the country. Plans making for the permanency and development of the work were discussed. It was a most harmonious session, and the trustees declared that Miss Burroughs had, in the development of the work on Lincoln Heights, performed a miracle such as only Hannie Burroughs can perform. It was an unusually fine session, with a vote of appreciation and confidence by the Board of Trustees. They declared that the unbroken success of the school for fifteen years must not be disturbed. Miss Burroughs has so conducted herself and the affairs of the institution as to commend the work not a small group of people but to every class in every section of the country without regard to race or nomination. The trustees declared that this ideal has sound business as well as spiritual and moral value that must not be deprived nor sacrificed. In upkeep, standards, and wise use of money, the school has been conducted in such a way as to commend itself to investigators, donors and students. Even in the great upheaval of the National Baptist Convention. The school has gone on gloriously and successfully on with its work and duty to see that it is safeguarded from upheaval, bias and financial intanglements. Speaking of the mid-winter meeting, one of the trustees, said: "We have on Lincoln Heights the greatest opportunity for nationwide and unselfish service in the field of education, and I feel that the trustees have caught a new vision of their obligation and their opportunity." The plan is to enlarge the institution and to support Miss Burroughs unqualifiedly. HEARD 'ROUND TOWN By A. WITT C. G. Owens: Why does a stork stand on one foot? Mrs. Owens: I'll bite, why does he?

A Norfolk farmer entered a Norfolk hardware store an exhibited an enormous egg; about six inches long, which he declared had been laid by one of his own hens.

SERVICE NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 The Father of the Christmas Seal The Father of the Christmas Seal Little Patients Taking the Sun-Cure for Tuberculosis at an American Sanatorium. Twenty years ago a young mail clerk in a small postoffice in Denmark was working far into the night on Christmas Eve distributing holiday greeting cards and letters. He saw that as a rule they would go to comfortable homes, housing happy, vigorous families. But he knew, too, that where kind Christmas wishes and good Christmas deeds were most needed, there likely would not come even a brief word of greeting. An inspiration seized him. Why not spend this money to alleviate the condition of the unfortunate? Perhaps by a tax on greeting cards this could be accomplished. His fertile imagination soon pictured a device to encourage the practise and put a voluntary tax on it too—and thus in Denmark was born the idea of the Christmas Scal, in 1903. Now let us permit this erstwhile postal clerk, the father of the seal, Einar Hollohell, to tell the story of the evolution of his dream into reality. "The people of Denmark regard Christmas as the greatest holiday of the year," stated Mr. Hollohell, who is now postmaster at Charltenbund, on a recent visit to New York. "Everybody observes it, and all hearts and hands are open at this season. letters, work, but the purpose of help of the Miner at postoffice fund to erotic culous child the idea of tuberculosis sold in 1904.

"A committee of men of distinction was formed, and through the influence, I obtained the permission of the Ministry to sell the stamp at post offices for the benefit of fund to erect a hospital for tuberculous children. So a year after the idea came to me, the tuberculosis Christmas stamps we sold in 1904. "The return far exceeded our expectations, totalling 70,000 Dutch crowns, or about $10,000. Yet year the income has increased last year it was 217,000 crowns and during the twenty years the have been sold, a total sum of 700,000 crowns has been realized. "Our committee has erected hospital accommodating 165 tuberculous children, and since it was opened, a total of 3,000 little girls and boys have gone to the institution at Kolding Fjord and been sealed. We now have three home for weak and undernourished children, and besides have contributed generously to societies which are to help sick and poor children various ways."

Now let us permit this erstwhile postal clerk, the father of the seal Einar Holboell, to tell the story of the evolution of his dream into reality. "The people of Denmark regard Christmas as the greatest holiday of the year," stated Mr. Holboell, who is now postmaster at Charleston. The first sale in the United States in 1903, when Miss Christine has carried the Christmas seal has carried the farthermost parts of America the news that people need not die from tuberculosis. During the period the seal has been in existence, the death rate in this country from the disease has fallen from 198 per hundred thousand population to 95, a saving of over 90,000 lives this year. for wile fowls, so he cut loose with his one shell at the birdies in the air, not knowing how he was going: get the other things that was hanging roun him.

The average length of life in the United States has increased 15 years since 1870, Surgeon General Cummings, of the Public Health Service, said Thursday in his annual report to Congress. Fifty-six years is now the average span of life in America, the Surgeon-General said. This contrasts with the sixteenth century, when human life averaged between 18 and 20 years, increasing to about 25 years in the eighteenth century and to between 45 and 48 years as late as 1900. And just think, urges Dr. Wells, with maddening glee, it will soon be just one bucket of ashes after another. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17.—A comprehensive survey of what interracial committees throughout the South are doing to promote better relations between the races is embodied in the annual report just issued for general distribution by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, with headquarters in this city. Entitled: "Progress in Race Relations," the report is a twenty-page pamphlet packed with stories of concrete achievements in better educational facilities, health campaigns, anti-lynching crusade, legal aid, adjustment of differences, provision of public utilities, the study of race relations in church and college groups, the work of women's organizations in the field; and the co-operation of the press. All the southern states except Arkansas and Florida are covered by the survey and results are cited reaching down into a great number of local communities. According to the report, the provision of better Negro schools has been a major objective everywhere; followed closely by efforts for better sanitation, hospital accommodations, street improvements, library and playground facilities, justice in the courts, agricultural training, the care of delinquents, improved conditions of travel, and other advantages essential to the development of the colored race in character and efficiency. The report points with special gratification to the reduction of seventy-five per cent in lynchings in the last two years, from 58 in 1922 to 28 in 1923, and fourteen in the current year. No small measure of credit for this result, says the report, is due to the newspapers for the "great volume of editorial comment that has helped to make sentiment against this crime." The general attitude of the papers, continues the report, has been sympathetic and helpful. Most encouraging, says the report, is the great change in public sentiment relative to this whole question that has come about in recent years, resulting in better conditions along all lines. As a notable illustration the fact is cited that in all southern states the per capita expenditures for Negro education are now two, three and in one case five times as much as ten years ago. The Commission on Interracial Co-operation was organized by a group of southern leaders shortly after the World War, in the effort to stem the tide of race conflict which threatened the country at that time. The crises having been met, it turned its attention to the permanent improvement of conditions and attitudes. Its membership now numbers seventy-five representative men and women. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, is chairman of the Commission and Dr. W. W. Alexander has general charge of the work. A directory of the Commission and of the executive staff is embodied in the report, copies of which are available to all persons interested. ASKS $25,000 DAMAGES FROM SOUTHERN R. R.

C., Dec. 18.—(A. N. P. I.)—According to Mr. Alex Hardick, an historian of the Smithsonian institution, it is impossible to draw an exact line between the Negro and the white race on a basis of color and curialness of hair.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN SUPERSTITION Every since the beginning of civilization, superstition has to some degree gripped the people. Whether there's anything in it or not remains yet to be borne out definitely pro or con. There are numerous people who believe in signs, omens, sayings and whatnots. And seemingly it is beyond them to shake the thing off. Or course, there are some who admit that they're not superstitious and don't believe in any sign at all. There have also been others who don't believe in them, but yet they've seen things occur that would have a tendency to remove anyone beyond all possible doubt and still they are confirm in their beliefs. There is a missionary who is now in Africa and has been several times. He was addressing the student body of his alma mater and in one stage of his discourse he cited an incident in which superstitions played an important role. He is also a firm disbeliever in any such thing as superstitions. He had been told by the natives, in journeying from one settlement to another, if a monkey were seen on the left bank of the river, rain would sure soon follow. He merely took that as some more of the fancies and fickle whims of the African natives. But sure enough he saw a monkey on the left bank of the river while he was making his trip. Then, he did not alarmed and paid no particular attention to the little monkey, thinking that he was about his own business as well as the missionary band. The missionary said that, before the trip was ended, he witnessed one of the most terrific rain storms in his lifetime. He also added that he is still a firm disbeliever.

Advertise In Guide And Get Results Territ a pin with the point to them, that it was a sure sign of sharp luck. He had never discovered a pin lying in that direction. But he decided that he would be on the lookout for such. Finally one day to his delight, he stumbled upon a pin with the point lying towards him. He stooped to pick it up but the luck wasn't sharp as he had expected. His hat fell off in the mud, his glasses dropped to the ground and broke and his suspenders tore aloose from the trousers buttons that were holding them. He threw the pin away in disgust. Another bozo who believed if a black cat cropped your path that it mount ill-luck was in store for you. He was going down a road one night in his car and one of the blackest of the feline species crossed him several paces up the road. He immediately stopped his car, turned around and proceeded to take another road to his destination. After about two miles he had to make a detour. As we all know, detour roads are the worst pieces of traveling thoroughfares known to humanity. Well, this guy got in a hole on the detour road and there he had to park for the night. Probably the black cat was on his way to see a young lady black cat and had got thought to the autobiography, but this guy didn't think that way and got in dutch by turning back. There are number of people who are given to braggadocio, commonly known as bragging, but if they knock on wood when boasting it prevents dire results, it is said. There was a guy that boasted that he was boss of his home and no woman could get away with telling him what to do. One of his friends told him that he had better knock on wood. He did it with no thought of what the result would be. He had also boasted that he could stay out as long as he wanted to. When he went home that night in the wee small hours bordering on morning, a rolling pin promptly collided with his head. His friend asked him the next day, how did he come out last night. He told him that he came out on stretches and that the idea of knocking on wood was all wrong. Well, that was simply a case of wood meeting wood when he got hit with the rolling pin. But some have found it to the contrary, that knocking on wood really prevents dire results. Some of us cannot say, it also remains to be borne out. Dr. W. E.

His funeral NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Christmas And Its Intricacies Whoever you are thinking of giving a gift to, if they throw a hint as to what they want you'll know how to guage yourself. If it's expensive you'll know how to save. There was a bozo who had the nerve to take his sweetie down town during the Christmas season of the year, he'd make her drape these store windows that specialize in gis. They stopped and he lapped because she said, "wouldn't that be a cute little present to give a girl?" He flopped because he knew what that meant and he wasn't making money like a bootlegger either. They've been married a long while since then and both together haven't finished paying off the installments on "that cute little gift." A dame and her mother went out Christmas shopping and they wanted to get a present for the bread winner of the house. The daughter went into one of the stores and picked out a gift for her father. Her mother replied that she would like to get it for dad, but it cost more than she had to pay for it. The dame said that was all right, father wouldn't get his bills until the first of February. $1 To Join 10c Per Month Receive a bunch each week.

WRITE TODAY House of PORO Lending School December 25th, is just around the corner. It's the day that's nationally known as Christmas, but it ought to be named something else. It's one of the most complicated seasons of the year and how people can even put the front that the like it, is very hard to understand. After all, may be it's the element of folks who don't have the cares and worries of this day. As soon as the word Christmas is suggested, you can see the change in expressions on people's faces. They may have been gay, and cheerful but it always changes from that to something more serious. This season of the year is one that is full or hubbub and bustle and people big to get to be busy like cats, who are collecting their winter's supply of bread crumbs from the window sills and other places that these tid bits may be found. Wives, husbands, friends, sweet-hearts, pals and may be someone else and more are now on the jump preparing gift lists and such other silly stuff. One thing it's the season of the year that is also give and receive and most times it's give. It should be named exchange day instead of Christmas. It wouldn't be a bad idea, if husbands, when they're taking their wives downtown during the Christmas season of the year to avoid the main streets and keep to the back streets, lanes and alley. The backs of the buildings don't abound in scintillating display of Xmas gifts. By this means, he will be able to save a man's money. There was one guy, if he took his wife out to the movies, during this season of the year, he'd make her drape down in a veil. One night the veil fell off and he grabbed her by the hand and run all the way home with her.If she happened to see anything, she wanted, she was too much out of breath when she got home to ask for it. Then, when it comes down to Christmas presents and gifts, this is where most folks get up in the air. Some scratch their heads bald trying to figure out what to give this person, that person, etc. And another thing that worries them more, is knowing what that someone is going to give them. Some even go so far as to rumminate. I would give him or her that, or this, but I don't think they'll give me so-and-so. Of course, some people are so bold that they express their wants in words that are sure enough understandable and the prospective giver can't help from knowing what they want. Where this may not be alo- timate, it is worthless. It nevertheless it has its good points. Hold National Baby Contest New York, N. Y., Dec. 18—(A. N. P.)

At the evening sermon the pastor was followed by the sermon from the subject: "Followed Jesus." This was Dr. Spaulding's farewell sermon as pastor of St. Luke. He has been transferred to the Blue Ridge Conference and stationed at Rutherfordton, N.C. He has been ever that conference. The members of St. Luke hate to give Dr. Spaulding up; in fact all the members and friends of the town hate for Rev. Spaulding to go, because he has done a splendid work since he has been here. He pastored at Rutherfordton and has made rapid progress. He is principal of the city graded school of Rutherfordton, N. C. After all Christmas seasons are all-right when their cares and worries are done with and it's not the gift but the spirit of the occasion and a manifestation of good will towards all humanity.

The Christmas Spirit BY MARY S. FLINT The true Christmas spirit is the spirit of giving in return for the best gift ever sent to men, even Jesus the Christ. He came to earth as a little child to teach men that he was obedient to the Father in all things. His coming was heralded by the heavenly host, who praised God and sang: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." The babe born in that manger in Bethlehem, when grown to manhood, was called of God to preach, teach, and heal; to open blind eyes and to make the lame to walk. So at this Christmas season we again thank God for this best gift the world has ever received, even Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Of course everybody is going to give something to the Colored United Charities drive to raise funds to meet its budget. This is the time of year when it is a pleasure to give that others who cannot afford it may enjoy something of the good things of the season.

We shall have fewer office-seekers as we develop more business enterprises. That is the great need of the race, the tradesman's habit, and we are getting it gradually. There is plenty of room for expansion in business and very little if any in politics as an occupation. Rev. R. H. Bowling had a packed church of women to hear him lecture on "Things Every Woman Should Know." That showed that our women are interested to know things, and that is a good sign. He told the women that "mentally you are different from the male, being naturally shy, retreating, modest, quick to fly off, easy to cry, inclined to become hysterical by reason of a highly nervous organism. But your very difference in temperment helps to make you attractive to the opposite sex. Physically you are likewise different from men." Rev. Bowling appears from the handling of the subject to have given womanology very close study. Office seekers have a long, long wait before them, and then they may not get anything.

We may say, however, that there is never going to be any rush of Afro-Americans into the Democratic party in the Southern States until the white primary has been done away with.

We can vote as we will in the Northern and Western States and we are beginning to do it, and very greatly to our advantage. Mr. Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta is fortunate in many ways. He is said to control insurance and other values of some $13,000,000, to personally own $8,000,-000, and to have his precious life insured for a cool $1,000,000, and he is young yet. He fell into the hands of money lenders, the bad break not long ago in transferring the Mississippi Insurance Company to a white group, being a phase of it, and he was saved by the loan through the Title Guarantee and Trust Company of New York, with Dr. Robert R. Moton, Mr. Julius Rosenwald, and Mr. Clarence H. Kelsey pulling the strings. It is the first time, we believe, when white persons have stepped in to save a colored concern to the extent of half million dollars. We are coming gradually. Editorial Page of Child Prodigies From India comes the story of a boy five years old who discourses on Buddhism and metaphysics like a ripe scholar. Doubtless his family is very proud of him and his neighbors are thanking God he is not the child. By the divine law of compensation he pay a price for everything, and no one says a heavier price than the child prodigy. Some years ago, Willie Sidis, a boy of twelve and the son of a Harvard professor, unfounded the savants by his lectures on stupef mathematics, including the fourth dimension. The whole country marvelled they were so busy admiring the child intellect that they never thought what was happening to the other part of him. Willie Sidis is now twenty-six years old. He is a clerk and nothing more, for he said did not want a job that required thinking not long ago his father died, and the man who brought the news found him in a daring equalid hall bedroom. Upon receiving the tidings did young Sidis break down and cry? No, he shrugged his shoulders in patiently and said, "Why on earth do you come here to bother me with matters that are of no concern to me?"

England Flouts the League of Nations Recently we paid tribute to the late Henry Cabot Lodge and his statesmanship. We now see how farsighted he was in keeping this country out of the League of Nations. If we were in the League what could we do in the face of England's action toward Egypt? The League, according to its proponents, was designed to prevent just such things. In 1914 a Serbian fanatic killed the hero to the Austrian throne. Austria at one point an unreasonable ultimatum to Serbia and before the thing was over the world war, President Wilson and others, especially England, determined that this should not happen again, that the small nations should be protected from the unjust exactions of the larger nations. The instrument for such protection was to be called the League of Nations. Now an Egyptian kills a British general, England refer the case to the League not at all. She sends troops to Egypt, dances $2,500,000 indemnity and order Egyptian troops to evacuate the Sudan which belongs to Egypt. This is a direct defence of the League. Now, if we were in the League we should have to do one two things, compel England to reverse his action and pay a penalty for violating the League, which would mean a new war; we should have to stand silent and look like tools. Egypt would have appealed to America a right away, and so would Greece who usually bombarded her islands and made her pay for the murder of Italian officers. Thus, therefore, membership in the League would have meant war or meant nothing in either case, as Colonel George Harvey bluntly said, "we are damned well out of it."

If we were in the League what could we do in the face of England's action toward Egypt? The League, according to its proponents, was designed to prevent just such things. In 1914 a Serbian fanatic killed the heir to the Austrian throne. Austria at once sent an unreasonable ultimatum to Serbia and before the thing was over the world was at war.

Munificent Gifts for Education No other people on earth, we believe have taken a more personal interest in the education of all of the people than those in the United States. It follows naturally that people should be more munificent in giving liberally for higher education. Beginning with the Peabody Fund, when African Americans first began to share in such charitable gifts, there has been a steady enlargement of the gifts for education, all of the colleges in the country sharing in some wi No other people on earth, we believe, have taken a more personal interest in the education of all of the people than those in the United States. It follows naturally that no people should be more munificent in giving liberally for higher education. Beginning with the Peabody Fund, when Afro-Americans first began to share in such charitable gifts, there has been a steady enlargement of the gifts for education, all of the colleges in the country sharing in some wise in the benefactions. The money which has poured into the South for Afro-American education by philanthropists of the North and West is one of the most remarkable facts in the history of mankind. The munificence followed close upon emancipation of the slaves, and consisted not only in money but in service, the white flower of the manhood and womanhood of the North and West volunteering for the Southern missionary work. On the same day last week the daily newspapers announced two gifts for education that were startling in magnitude. Mr. George Eastman, "the kodak man," of Rochester, New York, gave $15,000,000 for education, Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes to benefit by a million dollars each, the bulk of the money going to the University of Rochester, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Eastman says: "I am now upwards of seventy years old and feel that I would like to see results from this money within my remaining years." That is a wise way of looking at it. Mr. Eastman has heretofore given large sums for education and the results from it must have encouraged him to give more. The second gift is contained in a trust found approximately of $40,000,000, made by:Mr. James B. Duke of Charlotte, North Carolina, primarily for the establishment of Duke University. If Trinity College at Durham should elect to change its name to Duke University the benefaction will go to it. The Johnson C. Smith University and orphanages and asylums of the race are also to benefit in a measure by the trust. North Carolina now leads the South in appropriations for public education, in which Afro-Americans are benefiting in a splendid way, and besides having several small colleges already Mr. Duke's university will give it one of the best endowed of its kind in the country and it is bound to become a great and useful institution. WHAT THEY SAY THE JOURNAL Lofty In Conception Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:—The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is indeed a great paper. It is lofty in conception. It is cogent in its editorials, vigorous in thought and racy in style. It shows fairness and loyalty to the truth. It is permeated with clear thinking. It gives me great The Afro-American people can well congratulate themselves upon the interest which white philanthropists have taken in their better and higher education. There has been no lacking of this interest since the work of education was begun among the freed slaves after the civil war, and there seems to be greater interest, if possible, at this time than ever before. And we believe the public schools in the South for our group are growing better and should continue to do so, with an awakening public sentiment in the development of which North Carolina is showing the way.

At thirty he was in Congress, at thirty-six he was his party's candidate for the Presidency. It does not follow, however, that Mr. Bryan's book will be as colorful as his career.

In like vein are his arguments against extended preparation for war; he says that we can prepare an army of a million men overnight. Likewise he scoffs at Darwin and all the scientific discoveries of the last seventy years. As Secretary of State he showed a profound ignorance of international affairs, and ordinary diplomatic etiquette; in an invitation to the navies of the world he included the Swiss navy. He did not even know that Switzerland, an inland country, has no navy. Thus Bryan is a phrase-maker, a mob-catcher. He is no thinker.

Spirit of the Press Government Economy From the Chicago Defender. President Coolidge seems to be getting still closer to the hearts of the people by his constant appeal for economy in every branch of our government. According to present estimates, about $68,000,000 will be saved to the taxpayers during the year 1925. The cost of running the federal government, according to the budget sent to congress by the President, is $3,729,519,846.48. These figures almost stagger one, and yet when the budget is itemized it shows deep cuts all along the line.

JOHNSON New York City In The Front Class Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:—Geographically, the NorFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE is in the first class among Race papers according to our careful Tro Negro World The Rare World. Carnegie Hall is a large place, but it was none too large for the multitude that gathered Friday night, November 28, to hear Roland Hayes sing. In all that vast auditorium we saw just two vacant seats, whose destined occupants were probably too sick to get to the hall. The parquet floor was filled, the three balconies were filled and the stage itself was so crowded that there was hardly room for the singer and the piano. We took our seats some time before the program began, thus we had a good look at the audience. We saw them filing in, people from all the higher walks of life, people with every racial strain in this cosmopolitan city. Editors, critics, artists, bakers, brokers, society leaders, all were coming to sit for two hours and hear a young black man sing. Our minds flew back over the years. Two decades ago such an audience could not have been collected to see a Negro attempt serious art: For clog dancing, banjo playing, or blackface comedy, yes; but not to hear classical music from a black mouth. In that day a Roland Hayes would have had to waste his sweetness on the desert air. In spite of discouragements here and there, the public attitude toward the Negro has changed decidedly. These well-bred whispering thousands—would to God that John Brown and Garrison had lived to see them! Suddenly the whispering was drowned in a wave of applause. Roland Hayes appeared on the stage, graceful and springy and too healthily black to be called anything but a Negro. He began with a Bach song and followed it with Beethoven, Handel, Brahms and Schubert, all great names in German music. He was applauded again and again, and he deserved it. The German language is very difficult for a non-German to sing. Its chief sounds are rough consonants which can hardly be made to sound musical, and its dipthongs are difficult to pronounce and more difficult to sing. Roland Hayes with his soft, rich voice, took the harshness out of the consonants better than anyone we had ever heard. Even he, however, had a little trouble with the "ch," which we defy any singer, even a German to make musical. Words like "doch, auch and nich" are not meant for singing. Long before the late war when there was no violent anti-German feeling, one of our professors at college said, "When you seek clarity, talk French; in singing, use Italian; woo your sweetheart in Spanish; when you shout at your horse or dog, speak German." All the more honor to Roland Hayes, that he can sing sweetly in such a language. The next part of the program brought even more applause than the first. Two songs made from Shakespeare's lyrics, one of them the famous "Blow, Blow, Thou Wintry Wind," were very well received, and so was a fine bit by Rachmaninoff. But the great hit was an extract from Omar Khayyam set to music by an Italian, Santoliquido. There may have been some virtue in the composer's name, which 1029 1 2 CHURCH ST.

Gordon in the December number of Opportunity. W. B. Ziiff Co Per E. C. Aulc Chicago, Ill. "Doggone" Good Paper Editor Journal and Guide, Sir.-I have always had a high regard for the editorials in your paper. They are high-class and always seek to elevate and cultivate better relationships between groups and races. In fact, The Journal AND GUIDE is a "doggone" good paper and I approve of its general make-up. C. C. SPAULDING Durham, N. C. means "holy water." At any rate Hayes sang it wonderfully, Italian is the singing language, and as Hayes sang we had visions of the Metropolitan Opera House. No Italian could have sung it better. The audience applauded so joyously that he had to repeat it. In the midst of our capture one comical thought kept recurring to our minds: "What a triangle! A Persian poem sung in Italian by an American Negro." Surely "the world do move." We must pause here to say a word for William Lawrence, who accompanied Hayes on the piano. Any singer will tell you that a good accompanist is hard to find. Too often he tries to show the audience how well he can play, and thus takes their attention from the singer. We have heard performances, especially in opera, in which the accompanists, almost or quite drowned the singer's voice. But William Lawrence is perfect. He never obtrudes upon the singer; he seconds him ably and intelligently. For the last division of the program Hayes turned to Negro spirituals. He was in his native idiom there and he scored heavily. He sang five of them, then the audience drew a rapturous breath as he said he would sing "Deep River," the greatest of them all. As Lawrence struck the first chords we closed our eyes. Out of the darkness floated that golden voice, now brooding, now rising and wailing, poignant with the yearning and tragedy of twelve million souls. We felt their anguish, we heard their heartbeats, we saw their toil-scarred hands outstretched to God. And in this young man, voicing their plea and sorrow to thousands of Americans, we saw their dreams beginning to come true. As he had sung in one of the German songs, "Suffering is the lover's part," so suffering is his race's part; but out of that suffering something will come to enrich his country and humanity forever.

When space will not permit or the subject We wish to inform our readers that the questions to be asked are questions on history. Many persons send in questions on subjects that have no bearing whatever upon Negro history, some not even touching upon the race in any way. While Mr. Parker is not averse to answering such questions, questions on subjects other than race history require too much time and research to answer. Readers will therefore, confine themselves to questions purely historical. Q. Were the Babylonians a black race? F. G., Frankfort, Ky. A. The original inhabitants and builders of Babylon were black. Later other tribes poured in upon these inhabitants and hence the later Babylonians were a mixed race, and it is preferable to call them a Negro race rather than a black race, because the term black presupposes exceedingly dark. Q. Has King Tut's tomb been re-opened? S. W. Boston, Mass. A. Not yet. The latest dispatches inform us that Mr. Carter has made some sort of arrangement with Lady Carnarvon whereby operations will be resumed next year. Q. The Field Museum announces the arrival of many relics from the city of Kish. Have those any bearing upon Negro history? P. U., Chicago, Ill. A. They most certainly have. Kish is the name of the city supposed to have been built by Cush, the son of Ham. The inhabitants were known as Cushites and were black and closely akin to the Ethiopians. Q. Where can I secure the history of the life of Hannibal? F. D. Los Angeles, Calif. A. Data is scarce. However, inquire at your public library for Charles Arnold's Life of Hannibal. Also consult Livy's History of Rome wherein he treats of Hannibal as a soldier and strategist. Q. Who is William Stanley Braithwaite? W. K. J., Omaha, Nebr. A. He is the literary critic for the Boston Transcript and an author of a number of books. He also contributes to numerous magazines. He is a Negro. Q. Is the Negro the oldest of races? R. T. W., Sedalia, Mo. A. As far as we are able to determine the Negro is the oldest race. So many discoveries of prehistoric man have been made, however, that we cannot contend that this is a certainty. Better to claim that the Negro is the oldest of civilized races. (Copyright 1024 by A. N.
