The last master and the slave will have been called to the final account, and we shall have neither Pharosh nor Joseph knew each other. The bondage of our Ithers will graduate of our Ithers its thrills and will in the exacting demand of a new day and new responsibilities. "Physical slavery will never exist in this country, but left us a heritage of delicate wives which we must face badly and work out courageously. We would keep step with the aid of events now coming to us in the progress of the world." "Physical was Double One." "That the 'peculiar institution' had double curse, most mighly constitutively affirm. One of the greatest evils was the effect upon the master class in its attitude, respecting labor. Man a conscientious white man was taken in his conviction that it was divinely ordained that instructors and their descendants to the end of time, were to be trained in the lower and drawers of water. Common labor and Negro slavery were not only inseparably linked in South, but both were badges of inferiority. While the very life of this portion of our country depended in large measure upon manual labor, yet, because most of it was performed by the slaves, the most natural man had the widest arsenal to it. Thus strife arose only because it was difficult or the other sections of the country where slavery did not exist to contain with the South where free labor was to be had in abundance but the paid laborer of the North and West deeply resented the growing, displeasing and down upon the man labored with his hands. But slavery was gradually after the white laborer in his societies with the rest of the community. A peculiar thing happened. he hite aborer in all parts of the country, except in the Soah.

From the standpoint of volume, the feature has been quite a success, it has stated, but the growing disposition of the children to withdraw the funds periodically made the cost of conducting the department prohibitive. The following statement concerning the suspension of the department is made by Dr. A. J. A. vice president and treasurer of the bank: "The object of school savings, as I understand it is to teach the fundamentals of thrift. Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company undertook to extend its services assisting the school in the management of savings and thrift and our efforts seemed to have gone well until the Christmas holidays of 1923, when the school children apparently forgot that their savings were intended to be a definite part of their prescribed course, instead of an accumulation of money for Santa Claus and Christmas presents. In fact the savings accounts became to active that it incurred much extra labor and expense for the bank, and as a result we found it necessary to ask the school board to emphasize through the principals and teachers that the school savings were not intended to be a periodical disbursement to teach and rather to teach them to save and grow just as they are to read and write, and grow intellectually. "In spite of much perspension we have been unable in the majority of cases, to set forth the fundamental object of the school savings, and regret that owing to the constant activity of the accounts we are compelled to discontinue this department after December 31, 1924, but we are inviting all who wish to learn to save fundamentally to transfer their school accounts to our regular savings department, where they will be afforded every facility for the cultivation of the savings habit and the practice of thrift."

An appeal finally made to the department was met with immediate response. Under the direction of the Biological Survey, about 500 baits of of various sorts, poisoned with barium carbonate, were set out on September 4. The first night about 250 of the baits were taken and the second night about 50 more. After the second night no more baits were disturbed and they were gathered up. The commissary officer has written to the Biological Survey that the results were most gratifying and the campaign considered a complete success. As a rule, only a very small proportion of the rats killed by poisoning with barium carbonate die outside of their holes where they may be found. In this case, about 35 dead and dying rats were found, and since putting out the poison not a live rat has been seen. Merchants who advertise in this newspaper know what to expect—profitable results, and they are never disappointed. TONY STARTS A REAL EVENT THE FIRST SALE IN HIS CAREER!

J.P. P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. The hall of the deserted battlefield linger over sports during and immediately after celebration of the Christmas season. Traactivity holds, spay and college, high school, and independent athletic teams forget the various sports which began clamoring for the limelight as soon as the final gun broke the tense quiet of the air on Thanksgiving, or perhaps vied with shrieking souls during the moments of a redeeming-last quarter rally. With a few exceptions, including past seasons, football struggles and holiday basketball teams, the cohorts of the various coaches have sped homeward with some such parting message ringing in their ears: "Don't break training; keep off, of sweets, late hours, liquors and tobacco. Have a fine time, enjoy yourselves, forget basketball for the vacation period, but come back ready to prepare for our stiff schedule." In addition, a hearty wish for a stereotyped yet sincere, "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" was exchanged by coach and team. The air of mutual understanding and respect which usually pervades the sanctum of a team floated over the locker room as joyful and happy had pictured the good times and thoughtful housing of the birthday of the Savior, for certainly both sides are important. The good dinners and all that goes with a good dinner loomed up invitingly to the fellows. But invitingly only. Training Must Be Kept The vision of a "turkey and trimmings too" surely was inviting, but to many it was merely a fine vision, something to be conjured with but not touched. Only such foods as conformed to training regulations could be touched. Otherwise the work of the several week training undergone would go to taught. Superfluous weight and insect stomachs are nothing to carry with one into an athletic competition. Consequently, care has to be exercised in eating and like by members of teams during the holidays. The Quiet Before The Storm: But this lull is only the quiet before the storm. In a few days the schools and independent squads of the nation will be fighting fiercely for top honors in the great indoor game—Basketball. Even now some contests have been decided, while in a day or two many others will be history. The first C. I. A. A. game between Hampton and S. Paul ended in Hampton's favor, giving her a lead in the race for championship honors, which she is out to recapture again this year. Union University and Lincoln both have played two games, but with teams out of the association. With every school in the association boasting a quintet lively competition is indicated in the coming race. HEARD 'ROUND TOWN By A. WITT It has been said that the nearest thing to perpetual motion is a Jew chasing a Scotchman for a debt. 804 People say that there were no such things as the good old day:—but just think, fifty years ago: There was no prohibition. Nobody ever heard Central say "Lines busy." "Nobody evercussed Henry Ford. Carefares weren't raised every once in a while. LaFollette wasn't running for president. They didn't charge $6.60 for the peanut gallery at the Follies. No punk movies were produced. The neighbors didn't keep every one else awake playing their phon- "Yes, my friends," said the theological lecturer, "some admire Moses, who instituted the old law," some, Paul, who spread the new. But after all, which character in the Bible has had the largest following? As he paused, a voice from the back porch shouted: "Ananias" That beautiful and heartrending ditty sung so much not long ago entitled, "Yes, We Have No Bananas", has evidently been sent to the cannery, opines L. A. Howell. The biggest compliment a hostess can get: "Won't you give my wife your recipe for this?" The only man who can do nothing and do it well never gets a chance. How is your set working these days? Great! Last night one fellow was singing and another was playing his accompaniment on the piano from WEAF and I turned out the piano and listened to the singer. Shoe Salesman—I don't know, but banana skins make the best slippers. Wife: George, I want you to whip that man. Hubby: How come? Wife: He called me a sentimental fool. Hnbby: Whatdayamean, you big stiff, by saying my wife sentimental? A barber reported to work two hours late. "What's the big idea?" demanded the boss. "I'm sorry," replied the barber, "but while I was shaving I talked myself into a shampoo haircut and massage." But she's merely discussing some half hose. RALEIGH PROMINENT PHYSICIAN 145070 PROFILM PASSES AWAY Dr. J. H. Montgomery, a successful physician and one of Howard University's professional graduates, died in Washington, D. C., on Friday morning, December 26. For a number of years he resided with Mrs. R. A. Burrell, widow of the late E. P. Burrell, a prominent old family here. Dr. Montgomery was a highly respected citizen who enjoyed a distinguished career as a physician and he occupied a unique place in the making of civic improvements in the district of Columbia. He was a faithful and honest physician, the very unassuming and he believed in a great future for his people. Not only the capital city, but we at large have lost a citizen who had the courage of his convictions—a man who consecrated and dedicated himself to a great cause—humanity.

S.)—An annual football dinner given in honor of the 1924 football squad, Mike Wooldridge regular end, was elected captain for the 1925 season. The honour could not have fallen upon a better man than Wooldridge, for during the entire football season, Wooldridge showed what kind of a player he was, in that not a gain was made around his end. The various coaches in making their all elevens, seem to ignore Wooldridge in this respect and there is no doubt but what he would make the first eleven. Those present at the dinner were; President G. H. Jones, Secretary J. D. M. Russell, J. L. Simms, secretary to the President; Milton S. Wright, editor of the Wilberforce Mirror; members of the Athletic Council; student members of the council; Harry C. Graves, the Coach; L. Hale, 1924 football manager and J. Q. Clark, 1925 football manager. Aside from the football team, Prof. Geo. F. David, member of the council.

PAUL'S '25 ROLL HEAVY Lawrenceville, Va., Dec. 31—St. Paul School, through her graduate manager of athletics, J. L. Whitehead, '14 announces her 1928 gridiron schedule which is as follows: Oct. 10, Shaw University at Lawrenceville; Oct. 17, Hampton Institute at Norfolk; Oct. 24, Union University at Richmond; Oct. 31, Virginia Seminary at Lawrenceville; Nov. 7, Lincoln University at Norfolk; Nov. 21, St. Augustine's School at Lawrenceville; Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving), Virginia Normal at Lawrenceville. With the exception of St. Augustine's School of Raleigh, N. C. St. Paul's sister school, this schedule includes C. I. A. A. schools only. A. & T. College, the 1924 addition to the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, may land November 14, on the Tiger grid card. Several schools have requested a place on St. Paul's next year's schedule, but Mr. Whitechard has not made known his choice for October 3. A North Carolina school may get the honor. St. Paul's 1924 football record is below par from the standpoint of victories and from the angle of big scores by her C. I. A. A. conquerors. The cause of this is attributed to the loss of eight 1923 varsity men by graduation. Despite predictions to the contrary, Doughlass opened the season with practically a green backfield and with a preponderance of inexperienced and immature material in the line. The "wonder team," however, improved as the season progressed and finished strong. Much credit is due mentors Douglas and Taylor who had "diamonds in the rough" from which to produce a team of the C. I. A. A. calibre. St. Paul should reach her former status in 1925, because graduation will not deplete her football ranks again until three years hence. It is the consensus of opinion that the Tigers will make a strong bid for the 1925 C. I. A. A. football championship. St. Paul's 1924 Record St. Paul, 39, N. C.

Maybe he made it—maybe he did n't— And pushing each other off the stand. Here's where the game may hang on an inch fluttering heart-drums beat; The choice of any particular play May mean victory or defeat. The local football season which has just recently closed was one of the best Norfolk fans have witnessed in years. Probably it was the best ever recorded here, especially since the game has made such rapid strides up the hill to that state of perfection and so many of the minor squads of no significance which claimed to represent this city were cast into oblivion. Norfolk had two representative teams on the field the past season and both acquitted themselves well. They made a record that all fans are proud of and they have risen to the ranks where both eleven are well thought of and were depended upon to bring home the bacon, skin and the grease. These aggregations were none other than the Booker Washington high school eleven, under Coach Owen A. Wilson and the Norfolk Athletic Club, under the guidance of Coach Reynold Gay. For the past three years, the high school team has been making advances in the pigskin industry, but this year capped the climax and the squad went through the season like a flash, only dropping two encounters out of the eight on the season's crad. Booker Washington got off a bad start in the opening game of the season with the Royal S. C., but in the third stanza the squad struck its regular stride and the opposing eleven could not prevent a defeat. High school took the mule with a 12-6 score. In this meteor with a 12-8 score game, the coach was able to get a line on his material which showed up well in that game. The class of play, put up during the entire season earned the name of Fighting and Scrapping Bookers for the aggregation. The players always showed a willingness to mix it and fight until the whistle ended the final fray. Next to do battle with the Scrapping Bookers was the moat tout Harrison high school eleven of Bonneck, which was said GELFANDS COMPANY RED SHY to be one of the strongest scholastic teams in the city, but the Bookers proved that they were still on the rampage and took the measure of Harrison to the tune of 27.0. Harrison was entirely outclassed and showed no signs of having a chance to tally. Other Games Other Games By the time the third game was played the Fighting Bookers were getting into the game putting up a good brand of football. The squad, during the season, showed a weakness of being scored upon by intercepted passes. The first game lost by the clan was to Armstrong Tech, of Washington, when Captain Coble made a lateral pass and failed to cover in time to take the opposing player who intercepted the pass and ran for a tally, tying the score at 6-6 and the attempt at extra point was successful which caused Booker Washington to lose the game by one point. Huntington of Newport News also scored a touchdown on the local eleven when another lateral pass by Coble was made which he failed to cover in time to take the man who intercepted and ran 87 yards down a clear field to score. But in this game Booker Washington would not be denied a victory and shortly after this flashy run by the newport News man, Lloyd Williams got away with one of the prettiest runs of the season, when he outran, outsquirmed, outtwisted and finally eased over completing his 42-yard run to break the 7-7 tie. Norcom came around and intercepted a pass and prevented the team from across the pond from being blank. The Bookers took two games from Norcom to settle its superiority over the eleven which has the town across the "Lazy Lizzy" as its home. The Scrapping Bookers fell before the strong Union St. clan in an attempt to cop the Tidewater gonfalon. It was the last game of the season and the local Hi eleven wound up the season with a defeat of 7-0. The stellar players for Booker Washington were many in numbers and they were responsible for many wins. From out of the large squand stepped, Lloyd Williams, John Williams, Johnson, Coble, Boyd, Smith, Wilson, Poison Diggs, Hart "Pap" Tynus and Smith. There were also a number of lesser lights who did not shine so brilliantly, but showed prospects of playing a good brand of football the next time. These men were also instrumental in the Fighting Bookers winding up the season with one of the best records in the history of the school. N. A. C. Record The Norfolk Athletic Club, Norfolk's crack premier independent eleven came to the fore this season to wipe out all past black marks registered against the team a trio of years ago. This aggregation also wound up the season with a record well worth the time spent in obtaining it. The eleven was shot to pieces upon numerous occasions, but the players came thru with what was expected of them and a little bit more. All of the games participated in by the squad were characterized with slow starts and finishes that bordered on the scintillating. Out of six games for the season, Norfolk Athletic Club turned in three wins, battled two to deadlocks and dropped one mule in Richmond to the Adelphia Club. HAVE YOU TRIED The first encounter of the scout was with the Newport News Y. M. C. A. which the local team had little in anexing. The next fray was with the Portsmouth Y. and this game was also easily coped. Of course, this battle found the Norfolk A. C. off color and the Portsmouth clan came very near pushing over a tally after launching anerial attack. The Richmond club, then came in for a whack at the local squad and with all the bricks with it, Norfolk was able to hold the visitors to even terms and the score resulted in a no score tie. Ward A. C. from Annapolis, Md., heralded as one of the strongest independent organizations in the country was held in the local games of the year. In this jamboree, the Norfolk team outclassed in the first half, but in the half following, the squad unleashed an attack and a brand of football that was nothing short of the glorious. Getting the ball on the kickoff and bringing it up to the forty-yard line at which point the above referred to attack was launched netting six consecutive first downs and very soon after a tally that locked the score. The only game dropped was to Adelphia in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to thrust the pigskin over when in striking distance, the Richmond club finally resorted to the drop kick with about two minutes to play and taking the game at 3-0. The next game on tap was with the Merritt Athletic Club. This wild mite resulted in a hot struggle in which the Norfolk clan emerged HALE'S available at Wholesale Rate where.

At 7:30 p. m., the Sunday school presented a cantata, "The True Christmas." A large audience witnessed this wonderful play and enjoyed the renditions. ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH The Sunday school scholars were back in Sunday school after a Merry Christmas. The Christmas entertainment was a rare success. Santa Claus remembered us in a wonderful way on Friday night, December, 26th After the morning service our pastor, Rev. D. A. Blake, preached to us from Judea v24, subject "Checking Up." We as a church are going to put many of his words into practice. A very impressive sermon was preached at the evening hour, subject: "No Room For Jesus." Communion will be given at the morning hour Sunday. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST Last Sunday was indeed a high day in our church. The Lord was in our midst and all felt the love of God. The Sunrise prayer meeting was wonderful. Our Sunday school is marching onward and upward.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH As Sunday was the last Sabbath of the year large numbers were out to take part in the sunrise prayer meeting. Everybody expressed themselves as being grateful for the wonderful way God has led them during the year. At the regular hour for preaching, Prof. Harrison with his chorus of well-trained voices rendered several choice selections to the delight of all. The Rev. R. H. Bowling arose and delivered a wonderful sermon from the text: "Remembering the Way." Deut. 8:2 Reasons were advanced as to why we should recall the past; the valuable lessons taught by the past; and the glorious way God has manifested himself during the way. Our hearts were set on halo lowed fire as it were, while Dr Bowling delivered his closing sermon of the year. In the afternoon, the David King Bible Class presented Rev. Ralph Shoane, a converted Jew, to an appreciative audience. He lectured on "Christian eal." This lectured on "Christmas Zeal." This formation and inspiration and everybody went away rejoicing over the privilege of hearing Mr. Shoane. Mr. M. E. Diggs is the efficient teacher of this enterprising class. At night, Rev. F. W. Jacobs, the associate pastor, brought us the closing message of the day from Psa. 65:11: "Thou hast crowned the year with thy goodness." This was very instructive and appropriate. He cited facts which proved conclusively that the year has been crowned with the goodness of God to all, as individuals, as a church and as a nation. The Sunday school elected officers for the new year and Mr. C. J. Watkins, who has led the school successfully for the past 19 years was unanimously chosen to lead as superintendent for another year The B. Y. P. U. also elected officers and Deacon G. W. Giddings was elected to serve another year All officers were pleased at the confidence their respective followers have placed in them and pledged to prove that this confidence will not be betrayed. WILLING WORKERS BOARD The Willing Workers Board of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church held its last regular meeting with Mr. H. E. Johnson, of Cecilia avenue. The meeting was opened with devotionals. Mrs. Cassinda Holley was on the sick list. The main feature of the meeting was the completing of the plans for the surprise parties for the unfortunates for Christmas which was successfully carried out Christmas morning. Mrs. Mary Young, of Goff street, and Mrs. Lula Scott, of Chinchona street, were the happy recipients.

Atlanta School Head Indicted For Cruetly (Continued from Page One) of the inspection by the state department of welfare was eighteen about half of whom were boarding pumps. The state department recommends in its report that Stinson be compelled to stop spending money for property while the institution suffers; that the students be taught personal hygiene and that the sanitary conditions at the school be immediately improved. Newsome Points Way To Success In Able Address (Continued from Page One) learned to hate, not only slavery, but to despise the slave. Strange as it may seem, it is neverless true that the antipathy of the laboring white man towards the Negro laborer, even to this day, is greater by far in the North, East and West than in the South. This feeling and the problems which it produces, make up one of the legacies bequeathed to us at the death of slavery. Only Half Politically Free "In the status as a citizen, the Negro finds himself possessed of another legacy, which is a liability in certain localities rather than an asset. Theoretically, he is a citizen entitled to all the rights, immunities and privileges of every other citizen. In actuality, he is about half politically free. That is his present status. But it will not forever remain so. It cannot. Fight Inferiority Complex "Big as was the legacy which was bequeathed to it in the ignorance which enshrouded the race at the time that freedom came to it, it was as nothing as compared to the conviction held by practically all our own people as well as by our friends of the other race that we were inherently and eternally inferior to the people along side of whom we were to live and labor. This state of mind had a depressing effect upon our people in their aims, aspirations and ambitions. With the impatient of the race it provoked a fruitless protestation against the assumption, while it gave the demagogues of the other race an opportunity to vociferate vehemently that nothing good or great could come from this backward, proscribed, and lowly people. Remedy Lies In Hard Work The remedy lies not in words but in deeds. It is for us to show by our works not only the faith that is in us, but our capacity to do. "Things actually accomplished cannot be guisaid. Therefore let us resolve, every man and every woman of us, every boy and every girl of us, to consecrate ourselves to the work at hand, whether it be the guiding of a plow, or casting our nets for a draft, or preaching a sermon or writing a book, or presenting the case of the race at the bar of public opinion, or teaching the young idea to shoot.—let us, I entreat you, do the thing with such thoroughness and devotion, with such absolute loyalty and attention to the minutest detail, that whether we be regarded as great or small, superior or of little worth, we shall have the compensation of the abiding knowledge that we put in the work the best that was in us to do, for 'We know how rough the road will be, How heavy the load will be, We know about the barricades that wait along the track: But we have set our soul ahead, Upon a certain goal ahead, And nothing left from hell to sky Shall ever turn us back." 10 Years, $4,000 Fine For Drug Peddling Washington, D. C. Dec. 31—(P. N. S.)—Charles Williams, alias Sonny Williams, described by the court as a criminal whose offences are "worse than murder," was sentenced to serve ten years in prison and fined a total of $4,000 Wednesday by Chief Justice McCoy, in criminal court No. 2, on a charge of violating the Harrison anti-narcotic laws. The court took notice of the fact that Williams accumulated money and rode in an expensive automobile, while his victims, the helpless and sometimes hopeless drug addicts, became paupers and worse. A sentence of five years was imposed on Williams some time ago for drug peddling, but that sentence runs concurrently with two five year sentences imposed Wednesday. The court expressed its regret that it was unable to impose a life sentence. An appeal was noted. Mme. Walker Co. Prize Winners Leave In June Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 31—January 7, Revs. M. J. Key, of Washington, D. C., K. H. Burruss, Atlanta, Ga.; S. J. Jones, Muskegue, Okla, and J. O. Haithecq, Cincinnati, O., capital prize winners in the Madame C. J. Walker's recent Holy Land Contest will sail from New York for England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt and Palestine for an eight weeks trip at the expense of the company. MAN KJILLED; REFUSED TO PAY Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 31—(P. N. S.)—Because Alonzo Green remonstrated with a grocery and declared the bill was "pudded," he was shot and killed by Joseph Rusk, the grocer. It is said that on Tuesday afternoon Green went to Rusk's store in Houston street to pay a grocery bill he owed Rusk, and when he asked for an itemized statement an argument arose and Green accused Rusk of "pudding" the bill, Rusk drew a pistol and killed Green. Police say Rusk told them that Green appeared in the store to settle a bill, but that upon being presented with the bill became angry and began an argument, during which, Rusk said, Green drew an ice pick from his pocket and attempted to stab him. Mrs. Rusk hearing the argument entered the store and attempted to shield him, Rusk said, but was knocked down by Green. Rusk said he then got a pistol and shot Green. Rusk was taken to the police station pending an investigation. Dr. Shipley Dies In Auto Mishap Washington, D. C., Jan. 1—(P. N. S.)—Dr. R. H. Shipley famely of the Douglass Hall pharmacy Anacostia, died Wednesday afternoon in Emergency hospital, Annapolis; Md., following an automobile accident near the old Tea house, twelve miles north of that city. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE White Women Oppose Bathing Beach Washington, D. C. Jan. 1—(P. N. S.)—Possibly no single movement in Negro life in America has received more varied protests than the tentative plans for the establishment of a bathing beach for Negroes at the Tidal Basin, a short distance from the new Lincoln Memorial. At first the Negroes from all parts of the country raised a loud protest against the plan terming it a "Jim Crow" movement; then various white organizations complained about the nearness of the beach to a similar one for whites; and now the matter has been taken up by the various clubs of idle-rich women (white) in Washington. Mrs. John B. Sherman, president of the Federation og Wemen's Clubs, has written to Secretary Weeks denouncing the plan in seaching terms. She says in part: "I want to protest against such a procedure. This is not a question of race, but a question of keeping the beautiful for Washington, the city of the whole people of the United States." COLLEGE REGEIVES FRATERNITY MEN COLLEGE REGEIVES FRATERNITY MEN Washington, D. C., Jan. 1—(P. N. S.) The Omega Psi Phi fraternity established eleven years ago at Howard University, which met here in annual conclave December 27-31, was received by the President on Monday, December 28. It was the first time a President has greeted a body of colored University men. Arlington cemetery was visited by the delegates after a visit to the White House. Wreaths were placed on the tomb of the unknown soldier, and on the grave of Col. Charles Denton Young, a member of the Omega Psi Phi, who reached the highest rank in the United States army ever attained by a colored man. The convention adopted a national program to bring about a sane and an intelligent racial leadership of the colored people of America through the organization of its college-trained men and women. Siki Ousted From Tenn. Restaurant Memphis, Teen, Dec. 31—(P. N. S.)—Battling Siki, Senegalese pugilist, was fined $50 in police court Tuesday as a sequel to his appearance last Monday night at a restaurant which caters to an exclusive white patronage and his alleged insistence upon service. Charges against Siki's wife and her brother, Beverly Werne, of Memphis, who also were taken into custody, were dismissed. Siki, in broken English insisted on obtaining food, according to statements of the restuarant owner. Service refused, a porter was called to eject Siki and the police summoned. Police reached the scene just after the porter had accomplished his task. Jack Rabbit THE GREATEST $5.00 Men's Shoes In The World 26 STYLES All Leather Constructed For Sale Only By M.J.

C., Jan. 1—(P. N. S.)—Clifford O. Smith, 21, of Hartford, Conn., was stabbed in the lung Friday night in a freshman-sophomore melee following an interclass debate at Howard University, last Thursday night was said to be in a critical condition in Freedman's hospital. The outer covering of his lung was punctured. Smith was a graduate of Hampton in the class of 1923. He was a prominent candidate for quarterback for next season's team at Howard. Walter Miles, sophomore in the college department, is being held at the Eighth precinct station. He is said to be responsible for Smith's condition. According to custom, a rush is in order after the annual freshman sophomore debate. The debate, to decide the resolution, "That the Negro Should Form an Independent Political Organization," led to a warmer clash than usual between the sophomore adherents of the "regulars" and the freshmen, who would imitate the "renegades." The freshmen, having won the debate, the sophomores' attempted to settle the question by a demonstration of physical superiority resulted in the stabbing. Demand For Workers In Pittsburgh Great Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 1—(P. N. S.)—According to recent reports in connection with proposed industrial activities in the Pittsburgh district there has been a growing demand for common laborers in mills and mines for several weeks, and with the beginning of the year the outlook is for an increased demand for men. Men are being transported from the West Virginia mining districts into the Pennsylvania districts to produce more coal needed by the steel mills, most of which are running at 75 per cent capacity. It is expected that many of the mills will go on full time capacity in the next few weeks. Many coke ovens will be lighted and numerous blast furnaces are to be blown in early January. It is expected that industries in this section will reach "war time" capacity by the middle of March. Thwarts Holdup Man's Attempt Columbus, O., Dec. 31—(P. N. S.)—A. Greeder, an engineer at the local interurban station, prevented a highwayman from robbing the cashier. It is said that the robber on a previous occasion held up Greeder and tried to persuade him to assist in robbing the station. Greeder reported the affair to the police who arrested the would-be robber. HOLD DOCTOR FOR DRIVING WHILE DRUNK Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 1—I. (A. N. P.)—Dr. J. A.

OLNEY ROAD GOVERNOR TAKES PARDON PETITIONS UNDER ADVISEMENT GOVERNOR TAKES PARDON PETITIONS UNDER ADVISEMENT Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 31—(P. N. S.)—After a hearing in the Governor's office Wednesday afternoon, Governor McRae took under advisement the petition asking pardon for the six remaining Elaine Negro rioters confined at the Cummins state convict farm. They are under 12-year sentences. They are Frank Moore, Edward Hicks, J. T. Knox, Frank Hicks, Paul Hall, and Edward Coleman. They were originally sentenced to death, but their sentences were commuted to imprisonment by the governor last Christmas. It is said that Governor McRae will act upon the petitions after his return from Presscott, where he went to spend the holidays. The cases of these men will recall that in 1918 considerable trouble was experienced in Elaine during the serious race clashes there when the Negroes refused to accept the usual intimidation by whites who seek to terrorize any Negro community. Negroes in all parts of the country felt considerable admiration for these men who were brave enough to fight back when attacked by the white mobbists. It is claimed that these Negroes even went further than defending themselves, but transgressed into the aggressors in the general melee in the community and even aped their white brethren which resulted in being lodged in prison as rioters.

The first output of the college, naturally enough, was baptized with the spirit of racial service and zeal. The good missionaries who came down from the North brought the Bible in their right hand and the secular textbook in the left. One can only impart that which he has. There souls were full to overflowing with love for God and service to man. The zeal of the missionary was upon them. They believed in the Negro and he believed in them. Grimke, Crogman, Simmons, George W. Moore, DuBois and Jas. Weldon Johnson are sample fruits of their labors. But in these late days a new element, if not a new spirit has crept into our education. The mercenary motive has all but supplanted missionary zeal as the aim and objective of the higher education of the Negro. We may naturally expect this spirit to be reflected in the new college issue. Educational equipment and facilities have greatly increased since he earlier days. The work of the college has been multiplied in efficiency. We laugh today at the faculty and facilities of thirty years ago. And yet the truism is as true to day as when it first fell from the mouth of Paul: "The letter killeth, the spirit maketh alive." The educator of Negro youth years for the return of that social spirit which actuated the youth a generation ago. Then every student was preparing to reclaim and uplift his race; now the burden of his ambition is to achieve a distinguish career. Then the objective of his ambition was social now it is essentially selfish. I do not enter into wholesale condemnation of the younger college men. They are just as worthy and of just as noble nature as their elder brothers who have gone before them. But the times have changed. The whole end and aim of college culture is being transformed by the allurements of the times. The most helpful indication of the younger college men is seen in the organization of fraternities and sororities. They are anxious to harness their energies to some noble social cause. The Negro Sanhedrin engages to show them the more excellent way. In my mind two college men stand out most conspicuously for vicious devotion to the welfare of the race. One represents the older generation from the Northern college, and the other the younger breed of the Negro college. William Monroe Trotter is the pioneer Negro collegian who threw himself and all there was in him into the scale of race service and devotion. He has lost all and gained nothing by way of personal recompense. Others have become thrifty on comfortable incomes by reason of racial advocacy and zeal. Frederick Douglass was made all that he was or could have hoped to be by espousing the cause of the freedom of his race. Trotter, alone among Negro collegians of his day, had a choice of ways, but like Moses, the Hebrew collegian in the days of Pharoah, preferred to cast in his lot with his afflicted race rather than enjoy the ways of prosperity for a season. I cannot espouse many of Mr. Trotter's policies and methods. I find myself at vital variance with him in most of his modes of procedure. But I know that it was none other than he who held aloft the light of racial rights when all insides were wavering. He is shot through with a zeal that will not let him go. He will die in the faith which he espoused in his youth. But the main purpose of this article is to set forth the altruistic service and devotion of a younger college man who is in closer touch with the present college generation. Neval H. Thomas was graduated from Howard University in 1901. His spirit and metal showed themselves in his college days. He was always ardently devoted to reform. Immediately upon graduation he entered upon teaching in the Washington High School where he has been engaged since. But no pentup Utica contracts his powers. He completed a course in law, not so much with the expectation of practicing that profession, but in order that he might all the more intelligently serve the cause to which he had consecrated his chief energies. Nor was his light long hid under a bushel. Only a few years after graduation, do we find him advocating equal and exact justice for the colored race in the organization of reorganizing the public schools of the District of Columbia. He was the only colored teacher of the entire corps that had the tenacity to appear before the committees of Congress in this behalf. He insisted in and out of season that the colored schools should share and share alike with the whites in school appropriation, appliances and facilities. His insistence often proved embarrassing to his more moderate and restrained colored superiors. But he insisted all the more. The reformer must always take liberties with the established properties. Single handed and alone, Neval Thomas compelled the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to remove restrictions against colored citizens in the restaurant under the court's control. The colored lawyers who were chiefly concerned were in the mean time indifferent or apologetic of existing discrimination. He bought a great department store with large colored patronage and compelled it to remove discrimination at its lunch counter against colored patrons. He also fought segregation in the restaurants of the House and Senate in the United States Capitol. Mr. Thomas has vaged ceaseless war upon the City library for refusing to give colored girls the same opportunity for library training as is accorded to the whites. He has well earned the sorriquet: "The John Brown of the District of Columbia." More concrete advantages have come to the colored citizens of the District of Columbia through the temeritous advocacy of this college reformer than through all other agencies combined. Washington is heavy adened with college men from the North and from the South, as well as from the East and from the West, but Neval Thomas in the field of reform has wrought more valiantly than they all. He has created the growth on which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People drives in this jurisdiction. But or him, it would in all probability have thriven here but feebly like a tender plant out of dry ground, but mainly through his courageous initiative, the local chapter is the largest in the country. Mr. Thomas is a member of the National Board of Directors of the V. A. A. C. P. and is rapidly extending the radius and range of his potent influence. The test of sinity and genuineness of character is determined by the response of the common people. The common people will always hear gladly anyone who speaks from the heart. As in the water, face aneweth to face, so the heart of man to the heart of man. Mr. Thomas is the idol of the masses. He speaks their language better than they can speak for themselves. but they know a true note when they hear it. They cannot be cooled by a hollow or artificial voice, however learned or appealing it may appear. Audiences all over the country hang spellbound in his words. Thomas Wentworth Ligginson used to say: "If you want to become an orator, join a form." Mr. Thomas has the oratory of the reformer. He has no new doctrine to proclaim, but recents the philosophy of Charles Sumner: "Equality of rights with the "i" dotted and the "t" crossed." like William Lloyd Garrison, he will not equivocate nor recede one inch. He has the courage of his cause and cares nothing of the effects upon his personal welfare. He has never received one cent or his racial service, but gives freely of his own means. As in the case of Mr. Trotter, do not follow Mr. Thomas in all of his moods and methods, but he commands an unlimited measure of my respect and admiration. Many men of many minds. We do not desire that all college men should be like Neval H. Thomas in all of the idiosyncrasies and peculiarities of his mind. But if all possessed the full measure of his sacrifice and devotion our cause would be well on the way of solution. Fifty well-trained, well-oised, consecrated college men turned out yearly from our colleges well distributed among the callings and professions throughout the mass of the race would put a new edge on the problem in the next half generation. But its things are now trending in the direction of narrow efficiency and selfishness the immediate outlook from the college group fills us with a mixed feeling of hopes and fears. I would place Neval H. Thomas on a pedestal and invite young college men and women to look upon his like, and imitate his courage his consecration and his zeal for his race. Judge George, new member of the Chicago Municipal Court, handles the gaval with the finesse and wisdom of an experienced Justice. Bannas are consumed in great quantities by the people of the United States, the annual imports amounting to approximately 45,000,000 bunches. The distribution of this fruit from the ports of entry to all parts of the country is a highly organized service. The product is very susceptible to weather damage, especially by cold, and protective measures must be employed. Shipments are made in ventilator cars which in some cases are accompanied by attendants or else they are looked after by messengers at designated points on route who adjust the ventilators according to weather conditions expected before the next mesesnerger station is reached. Appeal was made to the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture for assistance, and arrangements for providing special services were made. The company furnished a chart showing the various shipping routes and the location and names of their agents. The entire area was divided into zones and the duty of rendering service in designated zones was assigned to the officials in charge of Weather Bureau offices best suited to render prompt and efficient service. Wherever a drop or below freezing temperature is executed within the ensuing 24 to 36 hours a telegraph is sent at the expense of the Company to the fruit company messengers in the area affected. This service was inaugurated in the late fall of 1923 and the results during the past winter were highly beneficial. October Record Month For Tuberculosis Eradication More cattle were tuberculin tested during the month of October, 1924, in the nation-wide campaign to eradicate bovine tuberculosis than were ever tested in any previous month, according to a summary of the work just compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture. A total of 642,602 cattle were given the tuberculinest during that month by the force of veterinarians engaged by the Government and those cooperating in stamping out this costly battle plague. This exceeds by more than sixteen thousand the previous record number of cattle tested in one month. In May, 1924, there were tested 626,257 cattle, which was the highest number until the recent month of October. The total number of cattle now under supervision for the eradication of tuberculosis is 9,198,975. That the work of tuberculosis eradication is popularly supported is shown by the fact that there as a waiting list of more than two' and one-half million cattle whose owners desire to have them tested as soon as practicable. Of the 624,602 cattle tested in October there were 24,440 which reacted to the test, indicating that they were tuberculous.

We face the issue as it is, without fear or favor, firm in the conviction that right must prevail. Everywhere we see the results of this profound conviction. We march on, sail on, fly on, dig on, anyway, "anywhere, providing it be forward." Falter not, be not dismayed, LOOK AHEAD! The dark hordes of the orient are grinding in their growth of grudges against the occident. A white member of Congress from the Middle West appeals in a resolution for the "white nations" to get their heads together and catch the vision of the "rising tide of color." His diplomacy is questioned, but his wisdom is keen. It is not of our making; we ask for peace, but others ask for war. We look for justice, but some are so feeble in granting it. Look Ahead.

OlneyRoad, Norfolk, Virginia News of the City of Portsmouth and Suburban Territory RENEW FIGHT TO PASS DYER ANTILYNCHING BILL Congressman Dyer Renews A Subscription To N. A. A. C. P. And Writes Letter Telling of Prospects Of Bill. New York, Jan. 1.—(N. A. A. C. P.)—Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, sponsor of the Anti-lynching bill bearing his name has renewed his annual subscription of $50 to the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and has written the following letter, in which he touches on the prospects of the Anti-lynching bill: I want to do the same as I did last year. Hence, I am enclosing a check for $50. The splendid results that you are obtaining should secure for you the help of all good citizens. The Anti-lynching bill should become a law without delay. The House of Representatives is for it and will pass it any time there is any assurance at all that the Senate will do likewise. President Coolidge is for it and will sign the Bill if Congress passes it. Hence, our only difficulty is with the Senate. I think, through your organization, these facts should be given wide publicity, so that the people generally can see for themselves that the failure in this respect is due entirely and absolutely to the United States Senate. The best way is for the Senate to take this matter up themselves, through one of their members introducing an Antilynching bill. When they have passed it, the House will do likewise again, without any delay. The President will then sign it. Wishing you and all your associates a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I am, (Signed) "L. C. Dyer." The N. A. A. C. P. is already taking steps to procure the introduction in the Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, as recommended in Mr. Dyer's letter. Mr. Dyer is one of the staunch friends of the N. A. A. C. P., publicly calling attention to its achievements, and giving of his own time and money to further its work. States' Approval of Federal Road System Epochal Event The final designation and ap proval of the Federal-aid highway system in all the States is an even that will be recognized as time goes on as one of the milestones of progress in the improvement of the highways of the country, according to the annual report of the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture The map of the system present: a definite plan for the improvement of the main highways of the Nation—a plan that it is possible to carry out in a period of not more than 10 years, and which, in that limited period, will result in a connected system of arterial highway that will permit unobstructed high way transportation between all cities of 5,000 population or larger. The duty of constructing the connecting reads which are needed to give access to the main system rests with the States and counties. The roads: on the system have been and are being improved by the States with the assistance of the Federal Government, which pays up to 50 per cent of the cost. During the last fiscal year 8,620 miles were completed in this way, bringing the total completed since 1910 to 35,157 miles. The advent of radio telegraphy has had the effect of materially modifying and developing the ocean meteorological work of the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture. In the days when reports of observations made at sea could be transmitted only by mail their use was restricted to such purposes as the determination of average, or normal, weather conditions over the oceans and the general study of atmospheric phenomena. With the development of radio telegraphy the collection of such reports for forecasting purposes was made possible and has become of primary importance. This is a distinct branch of ocean meteorology and is attached to the forecast work. MERB. EDITH E. MARTIN 1243.

Increase In Receiving Sets Extends Value Of Forecasts The time may come when radio broadcasting will excel all other methods in the dissemination of weather information. The effectiveness of this means of reaching the farmer promptly with forecasts and warnings does not depend on having more broadcasting stations or on their power and range, but on the installation of receiving sets by those who need this information. The most effective method of furnishing farmers with weather forecasts and warnings at the present is by means of rural telephone systems, but this bids fair to be excelled in a short time by radiophone broadcasting. Developments in the latter since January, 1921, when the first regular radiophone broadcasts were begun from the plant operated by the University of Wisconsin at Madison, have been rapid. There are now about 120 broadcasting stations cooperating with the Weather Bureau and nearly all parts of the United States are within their range. The forecasts radiocast from each station are those appropriate to the section in which it is located; that is the forecast for its own State and in some instances those for several surrounding States in addition. The splendid entertainment features provided by broadcasting stations prehaps is doing more to encourage increased installations than the utilitarian portions of the programs, but, whatever the inducement may be, thousands of receiving sets are being added monthly and in the course of time farmers and business men in every remote section will be on equal terms with city residents, in obtaining promptly and directly weather forecasts and warnings, which, if used advantageously, will add largely to national economics.

CHRISTMASPLAY PRESENTED BY SCHOOL PUPILS A special Christmas play "Sing A Song of Sleepyhead," was presented at the close of the school day, Friday, December 19, by members of the Seventh Grade Literary Society of Booker T. Washington school in a very creditable manner. Christmas carols were effectively sung and the program was concluded with a visit from Santa Claus. Besides the usual presents distributed from the Christmas tree, Misses Catherine Daniels and Mildred Parker, representing the 7A and 7B Grades respectively, presented the teacher, Miss M. C. Cohoon with substantial remembrances, much to her surprise and delight. Dainty refreshments were served to all and words of commendation expressed by teachers and pupils of other grades.

Increased Importation Of Foreign Birds And Mammals The importation of foreign wild birds and mammals into this country is supervised by the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, to insure the exclusion of species which may prove injurious. While showing a considerable increase during 1924 over the importations of previous years, the maximum attained in 1913, prior to the World War, has not yet been reached. Seven hundred and forty-one permits were issued during the year. The total number of birds imported was 400.810. The mammals included 4,871 foxes from Canada, a considerable increase over the number authorized to enter during any of the three previous years. These were practically all for fur-farming purposes, and indicate the growth of this new industry in the United States. The most notable mammal entering the country during the year was a gorilla, which arrived at New York in April, the third ever brought alive to America. It was exhibited in the spring in a large cirus. A number of other rare mammals were received. Importations of game birds included 28.388 Mexican quail and 1.196 Hungarian partridges, but otherwise were small and comparatively unimportant. The shipments of Hungarian partridges represented only about 11 per cent of the number brought in during 1914 when interest in these birds was at its height. This year's importations of Hungarian partridges went to Connecticut, New Jersey, Colorado, Montana, and Nevada. It is noticeable that none of these states received any considerable number of quail, while those which were most anxious to obtain quail were apparently not interested in restocking with Hungarian partridges. Ball Lightning is Known ---- To Meteorological Science What is known as "ball lightning" is described by the meteorologists of the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture. Although science is not yet able to explain ball lightning, and all attempts to reproduce it in the laboratory have thus failed, its existence is generally admitted by scientific men, and quite a large fund of knowledge has been gathered concerning its characteristics. There are apparently two distinct types of ball lightning. One type floats freely through the air, while the other moves along terrestrial objects as if attached to them. Ball lightning occurs during thunderstorms, and in some cases its appearance is preceded by an ordinary flash of lightning. Ball lightning is generally only a few inches in diameter, and in the majority of cases remains visible only a few seconds, though it has been known to last for several minutes. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 30—(A. N. P.) —Led by Alderman Louis B. Anderson, a delegation of property owners appeared before one of the park commissions of the city and protested against the creation of a park within the district because it would cause a great many persons to lose their homes and, due to the difficulty Negroes have in getting decent residences, make it almost impossible for them to replace what they would lose.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother and grand mother, Cherry Boyd, who died December 24, 1923. Gone but not forgotten. Daughter and grandaughter, Mrs. Gertrude W. Gaskin. Mrs. Antionetto N. Singleton NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES 1. Samuel Gompers and Negro Labor. 2. Immigrant Labor — "Then" and "Now" 3. Women's Delimma. 4. Notes of the Notables. Every since public insult was tendered to Frank J. Farrell, Negro delegate to the October, 1880 Convention of the Knights of Labor, held in Richmond, Va., a labor organization which formed a portion of the parental stock of the American Federation of Labor, caught but antipathies blossomed in the breasts of Negro workmen in their attitude toward organized white labor, until the advent of Samuel J. Gompers, late President of the American Federation of Labor, in whose passing Negro labor has suffered a distinct loss, notwithstanding the industrial differences which still prevail as between the two racial labor groups. It must be admitted that during his reign, Samuel J. Gompers did sound the call of "Peace" to the black labor forces of America. The doughty Jewish labor leader could not, of course, control all his subordinate officials; nor could he erase the country-wide prejudice of the white man, which, too, found its way into the organization of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers did, however, do much to encourage Negro labor to organize; and he was vhement in his protests to local branches of the A. F. and L., which persisted in dealing unjustly with Negro workmen. His sentiments have been put upon record in numerous conferences which issued an invitation to membership by Negro workers. And his "fair-play" attitude has been repeatedly in evidence in conferences at which Negro labor leaders have frankly asked for full recognition for their group by the A. F. of L. At the present time, there are approximately 165 local Negro unions comprising 6,500 members. At best, this is a poor representation, so far as organized labor is concerned. Negroes comprise one-sixth of America's working masses, and should be given the full privilege of presenting their quota to the A. F. of L. Furthermore, the white members of that organization should bottle up their prejudices and realize that the labor interests of one are the labor interests of all. Samuel J. Compers, in his heart recognized this truth. He practiced it during his long incumbency, and it is to be hoped that his successor in office will carry the program forward, flinging wide the gates and protecting the virtues of all labor, whether it be white or black. African (black) aliens, contained in the immigrant labor group seeking employment in this country, has increased during the period 1920 to 1924 to over one per cent, as compared with one-half of one per cent during the five years prior to the World War. These percentages are plainly indicated by figures which show that during 1920-24, 578,158 immigrant aliens, a yearly average of 115,632, sought the fields and factories of American production. Of these numbers, there was a total inclusion of 6,622 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,321 or about one per cent. During 1910-14, the total number of immigrant aliens admitted was 2,210,481, a yearly average of 422,096. Of these numbers there was a total inclusion of 9,893 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,979, or about one-half of one per cent. Seeking significant conclusions, we face the following indisputable facts: The total incoming immigrant alien labor group suffered the tremendous drop from 2,210,481, during 1910-14, to 578,158, during 1920-24; but the Negro content, during that comparative period, only fell from 9,893 to 6,622, and while it fell in quantity, its percentage jumped from one-half of one per cent to one per cent in the ration of inclusion. The Cape Verde Islands, a Portuguese possession off the West Coast of Africa, furnished the largest number of admissions. A continuation of this trend reveals significant probabilities. With restricted immigration in force, and American labor holding its own, it is apparent that the rise of native Negro labor may continue its onward march to permanency and advancement. A reduction in the inflow of foreign labor, with a larger percentage of Negro aliens, means a reduced competition with foreign labor, which is of a lower standard and lesser efficiency than American labor. The many useful programs, which are now being put into effect by American institutions which realize that Negro labor needs ample protection and assistance, are slowly building up a lasting foundation, the purpose of which is to place Negro labor in this country upon the same footing that all other labor has so long enjoyed. This is truly constructive and should stimulate the Negroes of the country to put their shoulder to the industrial wheel in such a way as to make the task one far-reaching effect and full of permanent benefits to all concerned. A little bird told us that the female contingent of the campaign forces which put over the Republican ticket, last November, are in a delimma. In fact, it is being whispered 'round that their delimma may take some of the "move" out of "movement," so forgas as "aspirations for service" are concerned. This situation is said to be due to the fact that the group has not made a careful study of what may be available at the pie counter; and that such few "possibilities" as have been uncarved up to this time have instantly become the target of a bevy of female aspirants, without counsel, without plan, and without organization. Added to this melting-pot of aspirant activities, the old sectional questions have developed, causing a warmth of feeling here and there but not of the kind that produces coalition and unity of action. The campaign female folks did excellent work, from Miss Hallie Q. Brown and Mrs. M. C. Lawton on down to the humble distributors of "flivers" and "squilis," and those who were not amply rewarded in long green and yellow are not to be blamed for seeking fireside seats in the contemplated distribution of "plums." Before this event can be staged, however, the legend of Rodyard Kipling as to the "Female Species" must be pigeon-holed and a healthy spirit of cooperation under a well-defined agreement must be put into play. Surely, there's lots of work for the efficient women to seek. For instance, there's educational work relating to the advancement of Negro youth, male and female. There is industrial work of fifty-seven varieties. There's health work, under Federal and State posts. There is executive work of varied descriptions. There's miscellaneous field work of many different types. Or, if there's any delimma besetting the faithful women, it ought not to be based upon wonderment as to where to go. Rather, it might be well expended upon the question of how to go. And even this problem could be instantly swept aside by honest- to goodness union and progress. Ladies, our Mme.

It is said that the Russian and Japanese governments have reached an understanding by which they will cooperate, coercing China to act with them, and that to offset this dangerous alliance Great Britian and the United States must make an alliance to protect "white supremacy" in the Pacific.

It is said that the kick of the Democratic Senators against allowing Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro National Committeeman for Georgia, to control the Federal patronage of his State, has been settled by giving the patronage to the white Republican chairman of the State who must have the consent of Mr. Johnson to any selection he may make, and when they fail the appointment will be made independently of them. Why should interference of Southern Democrats in Federal appointments in their States be tolerated at all? When the Democrats are in power they do not allow Republicans to dictate to them about any thing of party management or patronage.

Of course, no one would expect the bank to continue its efforts to cooperate with the schools in the teaching of thrift, at a distinct loss to the bank. If the school authorities cannot surround the "course" with such strict rules as will insure the bank against loss it cannot be successfully carried out by the latter institution. To apply strict rules regarding withdrawals to such savings accounts would in all probability restrict the number taking advantage of the plan, but this would be better than not to afford opportunity to those who wish to save systematically to do Editorial Page of President Coolidge Polled More Votes Than Both Opponents It is an interesting fact that President Coolidge polled more votes in the late elections than both of his opponents. He got 718,789 votes; Davis got 8,378,962; La Follette got 4,822,319. La Follette received more votes than Theodore Roosevelt did in 1912, running as a Progressive, but the vote were so scattered as to be of no value in the contest. President Coolidge received 334,949 votes than Harding received four years ago, and Davis received a smaller vote of 763,391 than James M. Cox. There was a big falling off in the totals of the Southern States, showing the white voters of those States did not care for the Davis stamp of statesmanship, which is a distinct discouragement for the future. The South was isolated entirely, Kentucky breaking away from its solidarity, all of the other States voted away from the South and its oligarchical make-up and product. The National Democratic party was fired off the map in the late election. The nothing left of it but a gesture. The condition of narrowness and intolerance drawn by the solid Southern delegates in the National Convention, in New York, showed that the Southern wing is narrow and proceeded and persistent in opposition to the grog, the Jew, the Catholic and the foreign, and until it changes front in these matters the Southern influence will amount to the affairs of the Nation, and the National Democratic party will remain deadless if shakes off the Southern winds there are no indications that this will happen. More's the pity. The best interests of the South are satisfied by the office-holding oligarchy with un-American policies, and the refusal to catch the even step of the Nation in what is good and tolerant and progressive American life. Unless the business men and the editors and preachers and uplifters of the white South see the new and better way and fight for it there is little hope that the South will regain the position it once held in the councils of the nation, and which it has held without conscious statesmanship, with rare exceptions, since the civil war. Can the white South afford to go cash politically because of stubborn denial of civil and political justice to the Negro people? We think not. But that is what has been doing.

He says it is a mystery to him that the prize fighting game can develop only one heavyweight star at a time in a period of many years while baseball, football, track, golf and tennis have stars by the hundred. We do not see why it should be a mystery. The other sports he here mentioned are followed by a higher class of men. Most of them are in the colleges, and the others feel themselves above such work, and prizefighting is left to men with a superabundance of physical power and very little of anything else. Keen intelligence disqualifies a man for prizefighting because a highly developed brain is accompanied by a sensitive nervous organization. Brute insensibility to pain is one of the pugilist's first requisites. Prize fighting is thrilling enough to look at, but as a vocation the intelligent man views it with disgust. We know of but two pugilists who could have won fame in a higher vocation—Peter Jackson and James J. Corbett. Then, again, the fight sport is far from what it used to be. It has become refindedly scientific and speculative. The rough and tumble stuff, when the contestants fought from five to a hundred rounds, has passed away and the best seldom go to twenty rounds. The old masters of the game used to hold themselves ready to fight all comers any old time, and the color line was a very indistinct thing; now, champions draw the color line, demand anywhere from ten to five hundred thousand dollars to fight at all, and stay out of the ring as long as they can in order to commercialize their positions as champions, making princely incomes as stars in vaudeville and in the movies. The fight game has become a bit more refined, it is true, getting a better grade of fighter, but it has also been commercialized and become more of a gamble than in the old days. The fight game will never be an intellectual one nor attain to respectability, because it will always remain a bruisers' game, and it is not possible to make bruisers of gentlemen. And we think it will always remain a discredited game, even for bruisers, until the color line has been wiped out. The public will so estimate and rate it. Norfolk Journal and Guide Alien African Labor in the United States It is not generally known among Afro-Americans that Africans are the only non-European people who are admitted to the United States under our immigration laws. Asiatics are barred out, but not Africans. This is a significant provision and was made we are sure in deference to the Afro-American citizenship of the country. With what has become known as "The Rising Tide of Color," "the Nordic tide," as it were, which would ostracise as less than 100 per cent American citizenship the Jew, the Catholic the Negro and the foreign born, and the emphasis which the English-speaking people and European people generally are placing upon the question of "white supremacy," will be well for Afro-Americans to keep sharp eye on the provisions in the immigration law which give admittance to Africans on terms of equality with European aliens and to the exclusion of Asiatics. How many African aliens are there in the United States? That is an interesting question. As to the laborers we are indebted to the Cameraman for the following figures: African (black) aliens, contained in the immigrant labor group seeking employment in this country, has increased during the period 1920 to 1924 to over one per cent, as compared with one-half of one percent during the five years prior to the World War. These percentages are plainly indicated by figures which show that during 1920-1924, 578,158 immigrant aliens, a yearly average of 115,623, sought the fields and factories of American production. Of these numbers there was a total inclusion of 6,622 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,324., or about one per cent. During 1910-1914, the total number of immigrant aliens admitted was 2,210,481 a yearly average of 442,096. Of these numbers there was a total inclusion of 9,899 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,979 or about one-half of one per cent. Seeking significant conclusions, we face the following indisputable facts: The total incoming immigrant alien labor group suffered the tremendous drop from 2,210,481 during 1910-1914, to 578,158, during 1920-1924; but the Negro content, during that comparative period, only fell from 9893 to 6,622, and while it fell in quantity, its percentage jumped from one-half of one percent to one per cent in the ratio of inclusion. The Cape Verde Islands, a Portuguese possession off the West Coast of Africa, furnished the largest number of admissions. It is a matter of information that the British Government has adopted a rule that West Indians shall not leave the islands and that West Indians and American Negroes shall not have free entry into Africa. This principle is so far enforced that American and West Indian Negroes are not allowed to disembark at British ports in Africa. A bishop of the African Methodist Church was arrested in a South African port and paraded through the streets, it is said, until he proved that his mission was pacific, that he was not an advocate of strife, that he would preach the gospel of peace as the British enforced it, and not stir up strife against the civil authority of tyranny and oppression. It is understood that the American State Department has endorsed the British principle in this matter. It would be interesting to find out how far the State Department is committed to it. The effort to make the world safe for "white supremacy" is going to fail. It is going to fail because the world belongs to all of the people in their lands, in their families, in their tongues, which have become languages. We have an illustration of this in our constitutional pronouncement that "all persons born or naturalized are citizens of the United States and of the States in which they reside." That applies to all "strangers within the gates," whether they be Nordics or differentiates.

Spirit of the Press Spirit of the Press The Decline In The South's Vote From the Virginian Pilot. This general decline is in large part due to the operation of the one-party system in the South. It would also seem to be explainable in some degree on the ground that Southern women are not inclined to exercise their new rights of suffrage, and also on the ground that the ballot is so hedged about by restrictions in the South as to dampen the ardor of all voters. The conservative attitude of Southern women with respect to the ballot is well known. In some of the States in the black belt, notably in Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi, there was scarcely any increase in the vote between 1916 and 1920, despite the fact that the suffrage was awarded to women between the two elections. The effect of voting restrictions on the number of participants in elections in the South is also frequently remarked.

It has changed somewhat, from its earlier significance. Originally Bachelor of Arts was not a degree conferred by the university, but merely a recognition of a student's ability to proceed with higher studies. During the fifteenth century, it was known as a minor degree awarded at the close of the first stage in a liberal education. From the viewpoint, of course, of the college graduate going forward to the higher degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy that is what it is today. The term "Bachelor of Arts" is a survival of the original meaning of the word "bachelor," which was a young man in the probationary period of knighthood, the priesthood, of learning, or any other calling. On the Paclencia Plain, in Chile, extraordinary mirage and other weird effects, are produced. Many travelers, through following a vision of water, a city, and sometimes a solitary horseman, known as the "White Rider of Paclencia" have lost their way and died from thirst. This particular phantom of horse and rider, all white, appears to be due to the gruesome stories in shack and camp, the length and breadth of Atucama. NEGRO PRESS DEVELOPMEN Within the past decade no factor of Negro growth has marked a greater stride forward than has the Negro press. The journalistic infant of yesterday is nearly full grown today, and the reading public is being served weekly and in fact, daily, by Negro newspapers, magazines and bulletins financed by Negro capital, made-up and set-up by Negro printers and linotypers, and put on the streets and into the mails from Negro publishing houses, manned with up-to-date equipment and supplied with material gathered by skilled Negro reporters. In fact, the 81 printers' and bookbinders' apprentices; 78 electrotypes, streettypers and lithographers; 1,244 printing and publishing laborers; 1,595 semi-skilled printing and publishing operatives, and the 101 pressmen and plate printers, to say nothing of the linotypers, make-up and lay-out men, working 'upon Negro presses, and the many feature story writers, reporters and operatives working upon some of America's most famous white presses prove that the Negro journalist venture has taken a broad leap within the past few years.

QUESTIONS AND IN NEGRO H By GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When On the west coast of Africa stand today ruins of hugh rock towers, very much like lighthouses, that date back to unknown ages. They seem to indicate that the inhabitants of the coast were in the habit of communicating with some other men for out in the ocean. One of the most valuable creatures of the frozen North is the leopard seal, so called because of its spots. The Eskimos use the blown-up skins as fender on the prows of the boats of hunters for protection to the sides against jogged ice flows and rocks. On portages and going over rocks they act as rollers. The skins are used, also, to store away the family supply of blubber oil. Because of their light weight, they are desirable as containers for freight carried by dogs and reindeer teams. Six hundred years ago in France, it was considered a lucky thing to win the bride's garter and everyone rushed for it at the conclusion of the ceremony. Brides wisely left one garter dangling where it could be easily reached, but nevertheless they were often in the scuffle. So some wise bride conceived the idea of throwing her bridal bouquet. MARKS RAPID T OF THE RACE found in the new habits of Negro readers. This class of reading clientele has learned to put dependence upon the Negro press. Strange though it may seem, Negro people are now looking to their own papers for the truth—the whole truth—about Negro events. These readers know that the white press aims, first to tell a story which is most pleasing to its hosts of white readers. When features too favorable to Negro narrative subjects are germane to a story, Negro readers have learned that their white contemporaries will "cut" the story to suit themselves. Hence the former, lean heavily upon its own press for the last word. The Negro press is performing a wholesome service, which has only begun to be felt. It has caused its readers to think as never before. They are weighing all things well. They are not easily influenced by propaganda. They knew that their own papers will fight their cause, first, last and always. They know that the destinies of their sons and daughters are bound up in the whole; rather than the part. For the final truth as to the whole they look to the Negro press, which has at last come into its own. May it long live and prosper.

Spain in releasing her Moroccan protectorate under defeat by the natives. These people are African by race and Mohammedan by faith. If they were to establish an independent government, Europe fears that the fact of a black race whipping a white race and establishing independence will have a bad effect upon the controlled peoples of Asia and Africa, Therefore, France, England, Germany and Italy are anxious to fall heir to the Spanish protectorate over these people. Q. Who was Queen Nefertiti? D. S. O. Dayton, Ohio. A. Nerfertiti was queen of Egypt, wife of the Pharoah Akhrion and mother-in-law of Tut-ankh-amen. Present arch-colleologists consider her one of the most beautiful women of antiquity. She was of mixed blood and if we accept her color as that used upon her bust, she was of a light reddish brown. She was a very refined woman and practically ruled Egypt along with her husband. Q. Sometime ago you mentioned the founding of the Indian dynasty of Delhi by Negro soldiers. Who was the first ruler?

The keepers who desire the service register their requests at the Weather Bureau office from which the weather forecast for their particular State are issued and the telegrams are sent at the expense of the recipient. The plan will be continued the coming winter and it is probable that eventually it will be nearly nation-wide in its scope. In New York a service af a similar character is conducted in cooperation with the State College of Agriculture at Cornell University. The weather forcasts are supplied the officials of the college in charge of agriculture and they telegraph the advices to key men who distribute them to beekeepers in their communities. Springtime service is also included as a guide in removing the bees from cellars under favorable condition. Montana Farm Housewives Compete For Best Kitchen When county-wide contests in kitchen improvement were instituted in Yellowstone and Richland Counties, Mont., by extension workers of the State Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agriculture, a number of women wanted to compete for prizes. They came to the series of four meetings conducted in each community by the county home demonstration agents, the home economics specialist and the State college engineering specialists, and listened to talks on water systems, waste disposal, arrangements of equipment, refinishing of walls, wookwork and floors, and the making of a time schedule. Many men were just as interested as their wives. The extension agents scored the conditions found before beginning improvements, to be compared with the changes made in the allotted three months. In nearly every one of the 140 kitchens entered in the two counties light and ventilation were improved, either through added windows, fixing windows to open at the top, or putting in better artificial light.

Was there such a thing as African Masonry? P. K. J. Chicago, III. A. I presume you mean to ask if there was such a thing as a secret order corresponding with modern masonry. Yes. Masonry, operative as well as speculative, had its beginning in Egypt. Today there are secret societies throughout Africa and the remarkable thing about them is that no white man has ever been able to learn one single thing of their secrets. The subject of Ancient African Masonry is too vast a matter to be handled in a few words. It would require a volume. Q. Who was the first Negro elected to Congress? D. H. T. Washington, D. C. A. The first Negro elected to Congress was J. Willis Menard of the Second District of Louisiana. He was elected to fill the vacancy and was duly accredited by the governor. But when he appeared before the House, the members threw a fit. They allowed him to present his case, but turned him down on technicality. To prove its insincerity, it later allowed Menard the salary. The House at that time was Republican by a large majority. Q. What is the value of insurance policies held by Negro companies in the United States? U. N. M. Nashville, Tenn. A. The amount is estimated at one hundred million dollars. could be routed effectively. Better sanitary conditions were provided by the introduction of drainage into cecpsools or septic tanks, by the installation of improved garbage pails, and by discontinuing the use of the kitchen sink as a lavatory. A great deal of kitchen furniture was refinished, as well as walls, ceilings and floors. Sometimes so simple an improvement as reversing the window shade or putting casters on the woodbox made a big difference in the appearance and comfort of the room. The value of many changes made could not be measured except in its effect on the time and energy expenditure of the housewife, and the stimulus given to the entire home by having one room in it made fresh, comfortable, and convenient.
