XXV No. 3 SLATE Race I DENIED WRIT OF ERROR IN MURDER CASE Executive Clemency Remaining Hope of Man Who Murdered His Sweetheart "Because He Loved Her." COUNSEL FIGHTS TO SAVE HIS LIFE The hope of spending the remainder of his life behind the walls of the State penientiary at Richmond went alimmering for Dixie Slater convicted murderer, when the Supreme Court of Appeals denied a writ of error in his case Tuesday and confirmed the action of the lower court. This means, barring executive demercy, Slater must die in the electric chair January 30, for the murder of Mamie Powell, wife of mother man, whom he shot seven times in the White House Bakery, Starch street near Brambleton avenue. September 22 last. September 22, 1992 Slater is alleged to have followed the woman into the bakery red on her and continued shooting into her body as it writhed in the death of on the pavement. His act, it was revealed in the testimony given at his trial, was the elimination of a "split" between the two. The condemned man himself attributed the slaying to his passionate love for the woman and her attempt to be rid of him following his arrest he was said to have stated he wanted to die, but once that time has evidently undergone a change of heart, inasmuch as a vigorous defense has been made in his behalf. The commonwealth, thus attorney Wilcox, assisted by Lawyer Jorge Diggs, has demanded Slater's life from the start, contend not only that death in the electric chair should be the only course but justice should take, but instigating also that to be denied in his case would serve to further encourage future would-be murderers. Unless Governor Trinkle intervenes and unstacks the cards, fate as prepared to play against Dixie later within the next fortnight, his dapper young man will pay he extreme penalty for an all too ardent love.

No casualties are reported. DEMOCRACY AT WASHINGTON TO FACE NEW ISSUES Senator Bruce Starts Lively Discussion When He Accuses Members of Crawling In Congress On Race Question INTEREST CENTERS ON INAUGURAL PLANS Washington, D. C., Jan. 15—(A. N. P.—There are some very significant political happenings in Washington, and they are not Republican. The Democrats are knitting up the "donkey's tail" in such a way that it seems next to impossible for it to be untied in time for a united party in the elections of 1926. In fact, there are members of the House and Senate who have informed the Associated Negro Press that, in their opinion, the tail will be cut off before it is relieved of knottiness, and hence forth, the Democratic donkey will be a bob-tail animal. In other words, that element of Democrats from the South, and that is practically all of them, who have built up and maintained their prestige—or is it noticier—on the Negro question, will either have to get another kind of animal to carry them to the nation's capital, or "fold their tents like the Arabs, and silently steal away." Senator Bruce of Miryland Democrat, was the first to twist another knot in the little animal's tail. He dared to rise on the floor of the United States Senate and with his brawny arm of independence, make a twist that made Senator Pat Harrison come to the rescue of the donkey. Senator Bruce declared, in substance, that the only reason that a lot of the fellows now in Congress are there is because they crawled in on the race problem and disfranchisement. This from a Democrat was indeed, "hot stuff" Harrison said that it was unbecoming talk for a Democrat, and in fact, Bruce is no Democrat. What did he say that? Senator Bruce declared that he would not permit a young stripling like Senator Pat Harrison to question his lifelong Democracy, and, as a matter of fact, he was a Democrat before Pat was born. Then comes Senator Dial, of South Carolina, Democrat, who says that President Coolidge is a better Democrat than most of them. That not being enough, Senator Royal S. Copeland, of New York State, Democrat, comes forth to attack the mighty Al Smith of New York. The only salvation for the Democratic party is the elimination of sectionalism, reprisals for past performances, failures forgotten, racial and religious distinctions wiped out, and party political preferment on merit alone. Now, the amusing side of a good portion of this is that the Democrats are actually sealing Republicans own thunder. They are using unusual tactics, and are putting the Republicans on their metal, if not on the defensive. In other words, Colored Americans are saying: "Well, what are we going to say about this; certainly we cannot speak against it, for the very things we believe in are being said by Democrats." But, the hole it is putting the Democrats of the South is in so deep that it makes one dizzy to look down in it. Republicans are saying: "We're not going to be the goat, or be left out. We've said this all along, and we are in for a new day and a fair show for all." All Absard For Coolidge's Inauguration All is not now quiet on the Potomac. The old town is fluttering with anticipation about the approaching inauguration of the Honorable Calvin Coolidge, for the Fourth Day of March, coming at a fine time of the week, Wednesday. The President has named the chairman of the local committee of arrangements, and has given his consent for the lid to be taken off every thing except the traditional inaugural ball. And to this he says, the people may have the ball, if they don't expect him. Washingtonians are saying that would be like "Hamlet without Hamlet." But it's going to be a round occasion, and there will be an old time inaugural parade. Not since the Honorable William Howard Taft was inaugurated, and the people stood in slush several inches deep, have the good old Republicans been permitted to march down the famous Pennsylvania av NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1925 DEATH PENALTY, SAYS COURT DR. C. R. S. COLLINS DR. COLLINS GETS APPOINTMENT AS HEALTH PHYSICIAN Colored Free Clinic Will Be Operated at 805 Henry St. Group of Physicians Will Assist In Work. Dr. C. R. S. Collins has recently been appointed by the Board of Health to have charge of the Free Colored Clinic to be operated at 805 Henry Street, next door to the First Calvary Baptist Church. For a long time the colored physicians of the city have felt that some one of their group should be appointed by the city to assist in caring for the health situation among the colored and provide medical treatment for those who are unable to pay. The clinic will be open every day except Saturday and Sunday from the hours of one to three, p.m. Any person who is positively unable to pay for the services of a physician, will receive attention free. It is expected that the proper medical attention given to the large class of poor unable to pay for it, will help materially to reduce the mortality rate. Babies and young children particularly need to have proper medical care given them and all who need attention will receive it. A group of the colored physicians of the city will assist Dr Collins in the work. It is said that a Maternity Home will be operated on the second floor of the building. This work will be under the care of Nurse Pauline Evans. WORKMAN MAKES A VALUABLE FIND Four $50 Compound Interest Notes Payable In December 1864 Are Now Worth $238. (Special to the Journal and Guide) Wilmington, N. C., Jan. 15—The four $50 compound interest green-banks found here recently by a race workman for U. A. Underwood, while working on the construction of the new plant of the American Molasses Company, have been valued at $238 for the four according to a letter received January 7, by Warren Johnson of the Murchinson National Bank, from the treasury department at Washington. They were marked as due three years after date. According to legal authorities the money would seem to be due to the finder. A hunt for the man is now in progress. Bordentown, N. J., Jan 15—(A. N. P.)—Mr. W. Marshall Morrell of this city has been appointed Justice of the Peace. This is the first time such an honor has been conferred upon a member of the race here. Mr. Morrell is a well known and substantial citizen of Bordentown. MME. WALKER CO. GOLD MEDAL WON BY ARK.

DRIVE TO SUPPORT DOUGLAS HOME IS TO BE LAUNCHED Detroit, Mich., Jan 15—(A, N. P.)—Claiming that the homestead of Frederick Douglass, purchased two years ago by the National Association of Colored Women, is deteriorating for want of proper care Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart has seen in motion the wheels of a campaign that will assume active shape February 15, of this year and continue for one year in the hope of raising a Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund for the support of the Douglas Home. The fund has been named after the late Mrs. Talbert because in her last written letter she expressed the hope that the women and general public of America would cooperate to see that the shrine at Anacostia be preserved in a manner befitting to its significance to the Negroes of America. February 15, has been designated as Douglass Memorial day at which time the Mary B. Talbert clubs in various sections of the country will hold the initial meetings of the one-year drive with a goal of $10,000 to be presented to the parent organization in California at the biennial meeting in 1926. The property at Anacostia consists of fourteen acres of woodland and the building. The former efforts of the women redeemed the property and repaired. The need of repair and upkeep is constant. The clearing away and beautifying of only a small portion of the landscape have been attempted. No provision has yet been made for actual work of a caretaker. Sweeney says of Douglass: "For nearly sixty years, Frederick Douglass stood between his people and the fierce hatred and oppression of ignorance and fanaticism but never once did he lose his bearing nor was he untrue to his unquenchable mission, a watchman on the wall, thereby serving his race and beyond it his country. 1924 PROVED A BANNER YEAR FOR N. C. MUTUAL DESPITE HIGH MORTALITY Annual Report to Directors Shows Company To Be In Healthy Financial Condition. Paid $460,000 In Death Claims Durham, N. C.—At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company held at the Home Office in Durham. January 12, a preliminary report taken from the books as of December 31, 1924, was considered in detail. Two items stand out prominently in the report. The assets went beyond two million dollars while over two million dollars were collected in income during the year. MAN WHO MARRIED WITHOUT A DIVORGE IS NOT A BIGAMIST Magistrate Says Second Marriage Legal When Man Has Not Heard From First Wife In Eight Years. (Special to The Journal and Guide.) Charlotte, N. C., Jan, 16—Caesar McLean, Lemley township man, who thought the statute of limitation had operated to free him from a former marriage and married again, found that Magistrate W. S. Huggins agreed with him in the trial Thursday morning. The case was dismissed and Caesar returned to his present wife. The defendant declared that his first wife disappeared seven years ago and ten months before he married again, that he had not heard from her in that period. No evidence was introduced to the contrary and the judge said the second marriage was legal. The arrest was made by M. M. Grey, superintendent of public welfare. EDITOR OF HAITIAN PAPER ARRESTED; NO TRIAL GIVEN EDITOR OF HAITIAN PAPER ARRESTED; NO TRIAL GIVEN New York—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today announced receipt from Port au Prince, Haiti, of a protest against acts of the American Occupation, published by Haitian laborers, and news that Edouard Pouget, editor of "La Poste" a newspaper of Port au Prince had been arrested on the night of December 26, and, without trial, had been placed in solitary confinement. Among the signers of the laborers' protest are Perceval Thoby former attache of the Haitian Ministry in Washington, George J. Petit, Flavius Leon and Audre Zamor. The laborers protest against the arbitrary parity of 20 cents for the Haitian gourde. They charged that railway ties were recently imported from the United States depriving Haitian lumber workers of opportunity to labor; that English is being substituted for French, the national tongue, by the American administration; that a prison and school labor is used to supply resident Americans with cheap commodities; that hard woods are bought by the government at prices arbitrarily fixed to the prejudice of Haitians; and that American industrial companies, under the present administration, are acquiring rights denied them heretofore in Haiti. Arrest of Pouget As to Mr. Pouget, it is reported that he was arrested at night, placed in solitary confinement without trial and held without legal proceedings, on the status of a common criminal, for having written an editorial displeasing to the administration. Mr. Pouget has been Haitian Minister to Germany, Secretary of State, of the Treasury, and a Senator. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Two And A Quarter Million Assets The assets exceed two and a quarter million dollars including over $300,000 in real estate, over $900,000 in first mortgages on real estate conservatively appraised, over $200,000 in policy loans, the policies themselves being security, over $350,000 in approved stocks and bonds and over $83,000 cash in bank. The Company has done remarkably well in spite of one of the heaviest mortality years in its history. Over $460,000 were paid in death claims and over $214,000 in sick claims. The directors pledged themselves to maintain their policy of safe and sane management. The officers were again reminded of the grave responsibility resting upon them in the handling and safeguarding of the trust funds under their control. The Company enjoys the confidence of the public and is determined to conduct its affairs in such a manner as to continually warrant such esteem. C. C. Spaulding, the president of the Company is nationally known because of his close association with the successful operation of the Company and because of his general interest in the progress of the Negro. The following officers were elected at the annual meeting: C. C. Spaulding, president; J. M. Avery, vice president and secretary; E. R. Merrick, treasurer; R. L. McDougall, second vice president; W. J. Kennedy, Jr., assistant secretary. Dr. Clyde Donnell, medical director. Their gentlemen together with J. L. Wheeler of Atlanta, Ga., and A. J. Clement of Charleston, S. C. all of whom were present, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company. The reputation of the Company is further strengthened by the findings of the examiners of the Insurance Departments of three states—North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. This examination was made last year in order that an official report could be made to the Committees on Examinations of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners. Among the features in their report appear the following: "the Company is the only mutual life organization in North Carolina of any size, which is owned and managed exclusively for its policyholders;" the examiners found the "books and records accurately kept." As to stock and bonds the report says "these were verified by actual inspection of the bonds and stocks in the possession of the Company and by certificates from the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Departments and found to consist of Government, State and Municipal bonds and Bank and Utilities stocks. There are no bonds in default and interest is collected promptly." In reference to mortgage loans the examiners say, "This item was verified by actual inspection of the loan notes and found to be as reported. All papers in connection with these loans were inspected and it was found that this item represents first mortgage loans on real estate." As further evidence of the Company's growth and service it points to the payment of its first twenty year endowment policy last year. That means that a policyholder was insured twenty years ago with the promise that, at this time the Company would pay the face value of his policy to him in cash if he were alive and had kept the terms of the contract. This the Company did. It is prepared to pay six more that will become due this year. One of the officers remarked that on the strength of this over whelming evidence, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company certainly merits the fullest financial and moral support of the public. 7 CENTS At All News' Stands and By Carriers TION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR COURT business GRAND JURY IS TO INVESTIGATE VETERAN'S DEATH Claim Disabled Veteran Of United States Marine Service Dies Unattended At Alpine Sanitarium. GOVERNMENT PATIENTS LEAVE THE HOSPITAL Alpine, Calif., Jan 15—(P. N. S.)—As Edward Smith, disabled veteran of the U. S. Merchant Marine Service in the World War, gasped his last breath in violent convulsions, in the throes of a hemorrhage and died, recently at the Alpine Sanitarium, delayed investigators from the San Diego county grand jury walked into the room. War Hero Died Unattended Smith died unattended according to the reports of the remaining 22 former Merchant Marine tubercular patients, who claimed that Dr. Hyman Lischner, owner of the Sanitarium, had withdrawn all the nurses who have been caring for the veterans and assigned them exclusively to private patients at the hospital. To Make Sweeping Investigations Col. George B. Berry, head of Public Health Service in the district; Dr. Alex Lessem, county health officer; Maj. B. J. Spier, representing disabled veterans of the World War, and the Club Women of San Diego have joined hands in demanding a sweeping investigation by the county board of supervisors of the charges brought by the patients against the management of the institution. At the time 22 men, formerly in the Merchant Marine Service, were undergoing treatment at the Abpine and the Government was paying $4.00 a day for each man. Poor sanitation and housing, and the quality and quantity of food are protected by the men. Federal Aid Requested Quitting the sanitarium in protest to the unsatisfactory condition the Government patients have refused to return to the Alpine Sanitarium and are being cared for temporarily at the San Diego Tuberculosis Society headquarters. Public Health Service officers are endeavoring to find hospitalization elsewhere in the Southern California section, pending an appeal by Dr. E. H. Crabtrete, police surgeon of San Diego, to Congressmar Philip D. Swing at Washington, for proper Federal aid in behalf of the disabled soldiers. PRISON TERM FOR ENTIRE FAMILY Mother And Two Children Convicted On Charge Of Larceny, And Get Three Year Terms. (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Charlotte, N. C., Jan 15—A whole family was sent to the State penitentiary Wednesday, January 6, by Judge A. M. Stack, of Monroe, when Ezell Henderson, race woman, and her two children, John and Laura Lockhart were given sentences of from one to three years in the penitentiary upon charges of larceny. Mrs. Henderson testified that her children are aged fourteen and twelve respectively. She has no husband. She explained that she works at hairdressing for a living. The family was convicted of taking a quantity of furniture, including a piano, bookcases and chairs from an unoccupied house on West Trade street. The mother claimed that the boy had the furniture sent home and that she knew nothing about it, and the children claimed that the mother had them to hire a drayman to bring it. Judge Stack in commenting upon the case, declared that since the State did not maintain any institution in which to confine delinquent Negro children, he would send them along with the mother. HOWARD ITEM WITHDRAW BY SENATOR SMOOT Proposal To Appropriate $185,000 To Start Construction Of Medical Department Building Meets Opposition. $221,000 OF $406,000 Washington, D. C., Jan 15- (P. N. S.)—The proverbial evil of the bourbon South toward higher education for Negroes constantly manifests itself and lamentably so in Congress. Even though Howard University lost $185,000 of the proposed appropriation carried in the Department of Interior Bill, the institution is to receive a total of $221,000. At its first meeting of the session, the Senate last Tuesday night, after two hours consideration passed and sent to conference the Interior Department bill carry ing approximately $239,700,000 is the first of the annual supply bills to go to conference. Howard University Suffers In approving the Interior Bill the Senate adopted all amendments submitted by the appropriations committee, except that relating to a proposal to appropriate $185,000 toward beginning construction of $870,000 medical department build- ing for Howard University. Senator Smoot Withdraws Item Senator Smoot, of Utah, in charge of the bill, withdrew that item when he learned that Senator Overman of North Carolina, would submit a point of order against it. Senator Smoot conceded the point would be well taken because the item had not been submitted by the bureau of the budget. Although the building project was lost, the Senate, did, however, restore $221,000 of Howard University's $406,000 appropriation which was eliminated on points of order by Southern Congressmen in the House of Representatives. There is no way now for the building item to be put into the bill, as the conferences will have no power to deal with it. The amendment relating to appropriation for Howard University which was agreed to in the Senate follows: "For maintenance, to be used in payment of part of the salaries of the officers, professors, teachers, and other regular employees of the university, ice, and stationery, the balance of which shall be paid from donations and other sources, of which sum not less than $2,200 shall be used for normal instruction, $125,000; "For tools, material, salaries of instructors, and other necessary expenses of the department of manual arts, of which amount not to exceed $21,800 may be expended for personal services in the District of Columbia, $34,000; "Medical department: For part cost needed equipment, laboratory supplies, apparatus, and repair of laboratories and buildings, $9,000; "For material and apparatus for chemical, physical, biological, and natural history studies and use in laboratories of the science hall, including cases and the shelves, $8,000; "For books, shelving, furniture, and fixtures for the libraries, $3,000; "For improvement of grounds and repair of buildings, $30,000; "Fuel and light; For part payment for fuel and light, Freedmen's Hospital and Howard University, $15,000; Total, Howard University, $221,000." The bill as passed by the Senate carries the usual appropriations for St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Freedman's Hospital and the Columbia Institution for the Deaf. THE TIDEWATER PRINCIPALS' ASSN This organization held its last meeting of the old year at the John T. West School on the second Saturday in December.

The Old Reliab WOMAN VICTIM OF A TERRIFIC AUTO SMASH Caught Up On Bumper Of Ambulance And Rammed Into Brick Wall Of Monticello Avenue Dwelling. FALLEN BRICKS Mrs. Mary M. Washington, age 36, of 110 Alexander St., wife of Walter Washington and mother of four girls, ages 13, 7, 5 and 2 years, was instantly killed, when rammed into the brick wall of a building at the southwest corner of Monticello Ave. and Olney Road. Wednesday morning about one o'clock. The fatal accident was occasioned by the collision of an Essex coach, driven by P. C. Green (white) of Portsmouth and a U. S. Public Service Hospital ambulance, which also resulted in the serious injury of the driver of the ambulance and another attache of the government hospital. The woman, on the verge of crossing the street paused to allow the oncoming vehicles to pass, was caught up on the bumper of the ambulance after it had crashed with the smaller car and was rammed against a wall of the two story dwelling at 797 Monticello avenue. The force of the blow brought a downpour of bricks, which almost completely buried the unfortunate victim, only her feet protruded from the fallen mass, when the rescue party arrived. It was several minutes before it could be ascertained whether the victim was white or colored. The terrific impact against the house shook the entire building and Joe Harris, who was asleep upstairs was hurried from his bed and suffered injuries to his neck. It was leamed that Mrs. Washington had left home to attend a passion play at the Queen Street Baptist Church and on leaving back, signified her intention of seeing a Mrs. Barber, an old friend. She said that she had to see Mrs. Barber if it took all eight because they both worked and there was no other chance during the day to see each other. Her mother, Mrs. Caroline Welch, who lived in the same house with her daughter, tried to persuade Mrs. Washington not to stay out late trying to see her friend but the latter did not take heed. The family had not heard anything of the accident, in spite of the nearness of their home to the scene of the tragedy. Wednesday after the oldest girl had come home from the Catholic school where she attended, she went to the home of a Mrs. Turner on East 52th street where her mother was employed and where she, the daughter often worked with her. The girl was told that her mother had not been seen at all that day and when she arrived at home she told her father and grandmother. Upon looking over the evening paper, Mr. Washington saw an account of the accident and said to his children that it must have been your mother that was killed. He went to Hale's undertaking establishment, where the body of the victim lay unidentified until late Wednesday night and recognized her as his wife. Mrs. Washington is survived by a husband, mother, four children, and a brother.

Bob --- NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE NORDIC SUPERIORITY DOES NOT GO IN THE HAWAIIIN ISLANDS Most of School Honors To Children of Oriental Parent And Those of Mixed Strains. Chicago, 'Ill., Jan. 15.(A. N. P.) "The myth of Nordic superiority cannot survive in Hawaii," said a white man who has but recently returned to America after years spent in the American island possessions of the Pacific. "I have seen my children, of purest Nordic strain, in competition with the orientals and mixed bloods of Hawaii, and lest I be thought-prejudiced concerning the capacities of my own progeny, I have seen hundreds of other children of like strain in similar competition, and I assure you the non-Nordic youngsters kept them bumping. In the school my children attended, there were 600 students, and the oriental enrollment was restricted to 10 per cent; yet it was quiet the usual thing to see the places of leadership, the honors and prizes going in numbers out of all proportion to children of Chinese and Japanese parentage, or of the mixed parents of island natives and orientals. "Residence in Hawaii is an education in international-mindedness. It induces respect for the peoples of other races and colors. When I come back to America and find people talking about Nordic superiority, and filled with prejudice against this and that racial strain, I wish they might all have the opportunity which has come to me." In commenting on this statement the Chicago Evening Post says editorially: "The Nordic myth is a fad of superficial intellectualism which a thousand facts explode. It is losing ground, but the tribal prejudices to which it gave a pseudoscientific color unhappily remain. They are difficult to eradicate; but the world grows smaller, and we shall learn, however slowly, that in order to live in it we must respect the human values under whatever tint of skin they are to be found, or with whatever language of voice and custom they express themselves." Morehouse Opens The Season With A Rush Morehouse having played and won her first four straight games of the season has little to fear from any Southern team. Each year the cage game in the Southeast draws more interest and most of it is centered around the Morehouse quintette, which has lost to only one college team in eight years of playing. Each year the Morehouse five takes an extended trip through the East and Middle West playing the leading basketball teams of these sections. Coach Harvey this year has turned out an unusually good team. He lost one of the greatest basketball players who ever came South when he lost Caesar Gayles of the last season. Sykes, last season's guard has been performing creditably as forward and Archer, a range fighting lad, has been placed in guard. With this acceptance the team is the same as it was last season. Clarke playing forward, Captain Trayler jumping center and Bailey in guard. The Maroon Tiger already has four scalps dangling from his belt having defeated Clarke University, 25-22; Morris Brown, 42-25; Atlanta University, 36-9; and Talladega College, 39 to 20.

BERNARD YOUNG JR. In strict accordance with the modern tendency to afford an opportunity to as many students in a school as possible for participation in athletic activities as the inter-class system of athletics at Hampton Institute. A frequent complaint of Intercollegiate athletics is that only players of the first magnitude receive an opportunity to develop themselves by means of athletic activity. This complaint is met with unusual success at Hampton, for her system of intercollegiate athletics, and especially her system of inter-class competition in body and mind-building sports, reaches the masses of her students and diverts their minds for a while each day by exercise and play in class games and practices. accordance with the modern tendency to as many students in a school as in athletic activities as the inter-class Hampton Institute. A frequent mistake athletics is that only players of the have an opportunity to develop themselves activity. This complaint is met with Hampton, for her system of intercollegially her system of inter-class competitive sports, reaches the masses of their minds for a while each day by games and practices.

The idea of athletics for the many is not a new idea by any means at Hampton. Years ago the beginning of the present system was made. In the march of years such, sports as football, baseball, basketball, tennis, track, rowing, soccer, hockey, volley ball, and similar forms of games have enjoyed their seasons of popularity. Only one of the above branches is not actively engaged in at the present moment, and that is rowing. Plans are on foot, however, for a revival of the once popular sport at Hampton. The use of the shell type of racing boat has not been used at Hampton because the water is too dangerous for such model. A type of rowboat was used when rowing held sway during its season. About 1905 the idea of athletics for the many embodied itself in contests between various dorsetites at the school and many exciting games in the various sports took place. Another step toward the present system was taken about 1907 when various departments of the school battled for athletic supremacy. As the years passed this system became more proficient and helpful, and around 1909 such departments as the Agricultural Bricklaying, Ironworking, and so forth competed against each other. Then came contests between Day and Night School classes. Finally, the present system of classes against classes, that is, seniors against sophomores and freshmen against inners and so forth came into being. The benefits derived from the participation in, and officiating of class games are infinite in value. Besides this training in schedule making and many other such things connected with the handling of this complex system there is the utilization of time in activities helpful to students who spend most of their time in vigorous study. But before going into the intricate, ye simple workings of such a system and the obvious benefits to be derived, we wish to digress; if it may be called a digression, into the results of an interview with those closely connected with the workings of the system of athletics for the many. Students Like Games deafless trees just outside of the window, lie in the rising wind. Soon pellets of sleek rain and entirely dim outlook indicated inside the room were a number of students of the two contests scheduled for the rest pervaded the room because of the prosy.

In his quietly noxious way, "the Coach thoughts." The leafless trees just outside of the window began to sway more and more in the rising wind. Soon pellets of sleet began falling, mixed with rain and entirely climb outlook indicated continued bad weather. Inside the room were a number of students who were to play in one of the two contest's scheduled for the morrow. Keen disappointment pervaded the room because of the prospect of a postponed game. Just how popular the class competitions are and how much they mean to the student (and this included the writer) impressed us, so we poured upon the opportunity to convert the story and benefits of inter-class athletics into an article. Immediately upon deciding to write upon inter-class sports we looked up Hampton's two coaches, Massus, Chas. H. Williams and G. E. Smith, who have general supervision of the system, though not engaged in coaching any of the teams, except in physical education classes. Just at this hour we were sure to find them engaged in tutoring the basketball candidates for the varsity; therefore, we directed our feet to the Gymnasium. In this historic building we were rather prone to reflect upon the many memorial sculptures which have taken place within its walls. However hardship called; we continued on our way. Inside the "gym", in a little box of an office, partitioned off from the trophy and lecker rooms, we discussed the question of inter-class sports with those instrumental in its progress here. Many interesting points were brought out during the discussion. Mr. Smith fingered a whirl after Mr. Williams had come to work with the basketball players, promising, however, to discuss the matter just after practice. Speaking of inter-class contests as a whole, Coach Smith remarked: "There are many benefits that may be derived from inter-class contests that are beneficial to the participants and he school community. If proper organization and super vision can be obtained, every school should adopt inter-class competition." Continuing in his quietly noirous way, "the Coach" expressed some striking thoughts. Come At Time Of Inactivity Bapton," he said, "the inter-class games co-collegiate season. This is a time at which we reached its highest point, and naturally men or relaxation. The class activities be between the inti-collegiate sports. The signal of the playing of the members of the community to try out some of their theory. If they are successful in their codecoder to try out for teams the coming year, and more intelligent in their criticism of men the success of the school team." He added our silent men, and straightened "At Hampton," he said, "the inter-class games come at the end of the intercollegiate season. This is a time at which the school excitement has reached its highest point, and naturally there is likely to be let down or relaxation. The class activities bridge over the gaps that come between the intl. collegiate sports. The students who have been critical of the playing of the members of the varsity teams have an opportunity to try out one of their theoretical strategy and game technique. If they are successful in their endeavors it will give them courage to try out for teams the coming year, and if they fail it will make them more intelligent in their criticism of men who have done their best for the success of the school team." To this we added our silent men, and straightened up a little in our chair. He continued: "They will learn that a hard game on the playing field is different from the one viewed from the sidelines. These games are staged on days on which there is no class or school work. The students who do not have anything in particular to do congregate on the sidelines and watch their "All-American" sideline stars in action. This gives their restless minds something to do, and they are able to compare the technic of the actual player with that of the former sideline hero. The contests fill up the idle hours, give recreation, and make discipline better." We craned our neck a little and saw through the window that little hope of a good field for the next day's game could be held. Meditatively, Mr. Smith continued: "Class competition allows a greater number of students to take part in the major sports. Each class has enough men out for practice to make up two teams. In the case of football this would make twenty-two students. With seven groups competing this will give 154 in this particular sport; this brings the total up to 175. For the other sports would be as follows: for basketball, ninety; for track, about seventy-five; for baseball, about eighty; for tennis about fifty. Thru this means of competition the majority of make students engage in some form of the major sports." Speaking of another important side of the games, for the training of letter men, who will be capable to work in intercollegiate games as officials is important, he said: "All of our games here are handled by student officials. This develops in the students respect for authority. Practically all of the students study the rules or laws of the game. Decisions rendered by the different officials are respected and the games move off without any friction. When this system was first instituted there was reluctance on the part of the different teams in playing under their schoolmates as officials, but now there is hardly any objection raised. The teams abide willingly by the decisions rendered by their fellow students." Just about this time his duties as assistant coach for the basketball team called him and he concluded the discussion by saying: "The AGGRAVATING PAPA THAT YOUNG ONE IS FOREVER BANGIN' ON THAT MUSIC BOX--IF I HAD MY WAY WITH IT, I'D TAKE IT TO THE WOOD PILE How Rickard Ranks 1924 Scrappers RICKARD STARTS SOMETHING NEW IN BOXING GAME Race Scrappers Get Good Rating In 1924 Ranking Of Worlds Best Fighters. Something out of the ordinary has happened in the realm of coulfflower cars with the coming in of 1925. An honor system for boxers is the new fail and Tex Rickard, the veteran promoter has the distinction and credit of being the first to pick ranking fighters for the year and list them according to their merits. The ranking of the fighters is not confined to American scrappers, alone, but to leather brandishers of other countries as well. The 1924 ranking list of Rickard was compiled for the "Ring," a magazine devoted to the fight game and will be an annual feature, just like the picking of All-American football teams, only it is not mythical like the letter. It can be noted in the accompanying box, that recognized champions heads the selections in all of the nine divisions with the exception of the light heavyweight in which the recognized champion is rated fourth. The list is interpersed here and there with colored fighters, a few given prominent and among them are, All Brown, third in the flyweight class, Tiger Flowers, second to Harry Grech, champion in the middleweight class, Harry Wills running a close second to Jack Dempsey, supposed king of the heavies, and Kid Norfolk, third in the light heavyweight division. Some of the others are Joe Lomhardie, of Panama, featherweight, and Goodfrey, the Joplin Ghost, in the heavyweight class. The most outstanding feature on the list is Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Tornado, who is played next to Grech, due to his sensational rise in a very short span of time. The Deacon's date list has been very heavy, but he has been emerging from the playing fields are laboratories for the development of followers and leaders. No leader no matter how efficient can accomplish anything unless he has loyal followers. The coaching of the different teams is done, with few exceptions, by the students. The best teams are those that have confidence in their leaders. In general I would say that the chief benefit is derived from inter-class games. Utilization of the spare time, a larger number of students in athletics, development of respect for authority, and of reliance in fellow students." Such is the way in which inter-class competition is looked upon by Hampton's physical director. Hampton's physical director is a busy man during every season of the year, but he found time to relate some of the history of the evolution of the inter-class system, and to comment upon the benefits and workings of the same. Among other things, Mr. Williams said: "This form of competition not only offers young men an opportunity to train for varsity teams, but affords a healthy and wholesome form of recreation for the majority of the student body." In addition to this he stated that one of Hampton's contributions to the promotion of physical education among Negro schools is her well perfected system of inter-class sports. These contests are carried on among the girls also, but with a few modifications. The teams among the girls which survive the elimination play for the various championships on holidays. A system of points is used and girls winning a specified number win a letter. Mr. Williams declared that Hampton has taken the lead in demonstrating that athletics and physical training rightly conducted and supervised can become forces for good instead of deteriorating agencies in school life." He said further: "Hampton's record for NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE PAPA THAT MY WAY TO THE. HAR! HAR! SHE'S ING-A SUFFRAGET HOW!

Once in the lead there was seldom any danger of Shaw's regaining it under the shower of points which the "Y" five rained down upon the fighting Garnet and White team from Raleigh. Robinson whose name was unfortunately released as simply King in the report of the "Y's" last game, was the offensive star throughout the game, while the steadying influence of the old master, Gunn, was noticeable in the pinches. Shaw Begins Scoring Wade took the tap on the first jump of the game, and immediately passed to Lytle, who scored a field goal to send Shaw into an early lead. Gunn followed with a free throw to cut the lead to one point. Fauklin, captain and guard of the Shaw squad, followed with a field goal to send the score 4-1. Just at this time Gunn pulled off some of the best guarding seen this season to nip a Shaw rally. Then came one of Robinson's shots to climb to within one point of trying the score, but this was too close for comfort for the Shaw Five, so Yergen looped in a free throw to send the score to 5-3.

A noted educator, in speaking of a Hampton victory some time ago, said that it was a clean triumph of clean athletics." He intimated that the training got by players in class competition helped create such sportsmanship, and concluded by saying: "Other schools, seeing the possibilities of class competition and physical education as worked out at Hampton for her student body, are beginning to provide equipment and facilities for conducting similar work." It can be seen, then, that among the many benefits to be derived from inter-class athletics properly run the least are not the training for work as officials, as leaders, as confident followers, and as more proficient players. Too, there is the building up of the body, the utilization of spare time, the benefits of athletics for the many, the development of respect for authority, and of reliance in fellow students. To this can be added numerous others, all of which will be realized upon conferring the system as run at if apton. NEW PORT NEWS "Y" TAKES GAME FROM SHAW FIVE By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR.

This lead was never overtaken by Shaw, despite some fine rallying by them. Other shots by Robinson, Brown, and Gunn for the "Y", and by Yergen and Armstrong, for Shaw brought the total to 15 to 9 at half time. Y. M. C. A Beats Shaw Shaw got only one field goal in the last half, despite the fact that the "Y's" star guard, Gunn, was forced out on fouls. Mitchell, substituting for Lytle, who was forced out on fouls also, made two free throws; Armstrong garnered two free throws, and Wade a field goal and one free throw. This was offset by the brilliant scoring of Robinson for the "Y". He scored six points alone in the second half to shake of Shaw's rally. At the final whistle Shaw was beaten, trailing the "Y" by five points to the count of 21 to 16. Robinson High Scorer Robinson was high scorer of the night, collecting 12 points as his share. Armstrong of the Shaw five came second with 5. Shaw played Hampton the following night and is scheduled to meet Union University on the 17 of the month. Y. M. C. A. plays Union High of Hampton on the 17, Union University on the 24, and Virginia Seminary the 2nd of February. Both teams played hard throut the game and promise to offer spirited opposition to remaining opponents. THE LINEUP Y. M. C.

RAMPAGING SEASIDERS LAMBAST BEAR BRIGADE Defeat Shaw University in a Thrilling Game Featured by the Brilliant Play of Both Fives—Final Score 35 to 12 Hampton, Va., Jan 10—Again the Scissors of the Hampton Insti- tute rest contentedly in their seas- ide home. The thirst for the blood of fallen basketball foes was satisfied in the Scissors' parched throats by a nourishing feast of Bear meat, served in the Hampton Institute Gymnasium when Shaw University suffered the fate of the other teams which have entered the sanctum of last year's champion- ship five. St. Paul defeated by a 38 to 12 score, Newport Newy- "v" by 39 to 11; and Shaw fell, crashed by Hampton's teamwork, by a 25 to 12 count. and ex-Captain Langston. Hampton scored first on a long shot by Hargrove, who was forced out of the game before the end of the first half because of a twisted ankle. Wade, center for Shaw, tied the score with a difficult shot, but two free-throws by McNichols and a field goal by Hargrove, made another attempted free-throw, sent the score rapidly to 6-2 favor- ing Hampton. Just at this point Lambricht made the most brilliant shot of the shot, with a Wade dribbling in for a Shaw, who ground swept by and took the ball only to "Shout!" It must be said to Shaw's everlasting credit that she fought every inch of the way. The shaking, running attack that has ripped open the defense of two teams all at once, has been a huge step for Hampton a lead in the intercollegiate championship race, was not only fierce in its intensity tonight, but it was devastating. Despite the superb guarding and bewildering passing of the Shaw Rears, their attack was not only halted, but rolled back and completely wrecked, hundreds of sneakers, a dozen of hats, 12, on a deaf and rainy night, and under overhang January skies as dark and somber as the warning hopes of the visitors. Shaw's Passing Bewildering Shaw's passing ability was unanimely difficult to break up; once she got possession of the ball she could work it down the floor, only to lose it in a fine line, or miss the attempt at field goal under the pressure of the guarding offered by Captain Jones MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Carrie Ettis announces the marriage of her daughter, Beulah Bitts, to Mr. Henry Muttie, of Emporia, Va.

Hampton scored first on a lpg shot out of the game before the end of the first half because of a twisted ankle. Wade, center for Shaw, tied the score with a difficult shot, two foul shots by McNichols and a field goal by McNichols on another attempted free-throw, sent the score rapidly to 6-2 favoring Hampton. Just at this point Lambright made the most brilliant shot of the night. While dribbling in for a shot, a Shaw guard swept by and took the ball, only to have "Shorty" follow him with bulldog tenacity until he recovered the ball. Getting it near the sideline, Lambright jumped above the taller players and looped in the ball with one score to 8 to 2. Wade was getting the ball in the majority of cases, but Shaw seemed unable to make the ball do more than strike the rim of the basket. Playing Brilliant Despite the one-sided score the game was interesting and exciting from the first whistle to the final gun. Never was there a let-up in the persistent attack of Shaw, or in the machine-like precision which marked the playing of Hampton. Though Shaw was held to a lone field goal and two free-throws in the last period; there were many tense moments due to the continued plugging away at the basket by the Bears. Once Coach Martin's protégés find ranges for accurate shooting and stop fouling there is going to be trouble for some team. Another field goal by Hargrove; two field goals and two free-throws by McNichols; one field goal by Jones, and I field goal and one free-throw by LaMabry for 8 for the final goals by Wade, and I by Mitchell for Shaw ended the scoring for the first half, making the total for half time 21 to 8. Substitutes Good The substitutes on both sides were excellent players. While Hampton's substitutes were not quite up to the standard set in previous games, their work was promising. For Shaw, Mitchell was the best substitute, while Jenkins and Diamond did good work. The right substitutes which Coach L. I. Wright fray, only a few stayed in long enough to get an accurate line on their ability. Roland L. Wiggins, with 1 field goal; Eugene E. Brown, with 2 free-throws; and Mark F. Thorne with his ability to hold Wade, his opposing center scoreless in the last half, were the outfielder of course did good work in the game, but their period of playing was short.

C., Jan 15—About twenty of the larger Jumbo Colleged schools were represented in the meeting of the North Carolina Athletic Conference held at Livingstone College, Salisbury, Saturday, January 10, where the many participants sportsmanlike conduct of interschool athletic contests were considered and serious efforts made to solve them. In the period of about a dozen years that the Association has been functioning the situations surrounding the Jumbo colleges, more and more complex and difficult to handle. The imperative need is for enough flexibility in the regulations of the Conference to accommodate it to the needs, both of the larger schools that are outgrowing their sister institutions in strength and prominence, especially in football, and also of the new public high schools that are beginning to ask admission to them, a temporary division of the schools for 1925 was made at this meeting. So far availability is the only criterion determining the part of the school from which players are selected. Even the colleges draws their teams from the high school classes as well as from the college classes and the high schools, so they cannot be allowed to lower the high school, if there are available men below the high school classes. No regulations have been made so far to provide that the personnel of teams shall come from definite departments of the school and so guarantee that only parallel organizations shall standoff against each other. This same requirement for the first school break that has come this year in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The sport that most emphasizes the inequality in the strength of the contesting schools is football. For that reason the schools in the league were arbitrarily divided into two groups for football competition, and are to be awarded each group. The division is based somewhat upon the strength of the football team produced by the school last season. Group A, includes, Shaw University, Durham State Normal, A. & T. College, Johnson C. Smith University, Livingstone College and Bennett College. All other schools of group B. In the meantime a group I. In the meantime a com- Most of the ills of the Association are traceable to this need of proper grouping and to the ethical weakness of some of the schools who place the winning of games above true sportsmanship. It was apparent that the school had to clean and fairly contested games among the schools. Until, however, the individual schools of the State led by the principals put aside their fear of losing games and enact scholarship rules with teeth in them governing the personnel of teams and athletes as a factor in scholarships rules with teeth in ment of the Conference will be ineffective to cure he ill at present so apparent in inter-school contests.

Local Officials Association A good number of difficulties have been brought about here in the major phase of athletic activities for quite a few years, and the most of them have been those arising from inefficient officiating in games, football in particular, especially since this sport leads the jamboree. Some of the followers of the sport fault the officials, when really they are not always to blame. Then, on the other hand, some of the difficulties and disagreements arising from officiating is due, in most cases to the gross ignorance of the rules, manifested frequently by the many onlookers. Whereas, again some, and a comparative few of the difficulties come about by officials not being well up on the rules and the changes due to the fact that they are not able to give but so much time to the study which brings about efficiency and this may be attributed to small sums paid in training. The small professions or vocation to diligently make an extensive study of rules. Efficiency in officiating requires painstaking study and application which consumes considerable time.

Such an association should conduct regular meeting or round table talks or discussions to brush up on the various rules, exchange ideas on interpretations and take up all other meet questions concerning the games. When games are played, the athletic organization should be required to apply for such officials as are offered by the application for such officials as are offered by the association to work in the events. By this method, none other than competent men will be detailed to officiate in games. Every member of the association should be detailed to work in the capacity, in which he is best suited, that is, every member being listed on the officials associations roster as: John Jones, referee, umpire, head linesman or what other position that that man could fill best. A good nucleus to form such an association around would be, in football: Dr. S. P. Coppage, referee and umpire; Owen A. Wilsen, umpire and head linesman; George R. Reynolds and head linesman; Jos. F. Williams, George R. Reynolds and head linesman; R. E. Williams, head linesman and may be there are others who come to the form if plans are perfected. There should be some prerequisites for those who wished to become a member of the officials association. More and better ideas may be obtained by the calling together of the above mentioned men to discuss the situation and to seek the organization which will provide for improvement in this area.

It does not seem as if this should cause those in charge of the school's athletes to give up without any fight at all. We believe that some amicable agreements can be reached if the right method is used. The attitude assumed in face of the little trouble is a deviation from the characteristic display during the football season which earned for the athletes of the school and those in charge, "Fighting Bookers." They are Fighting Bookers no more if they are willing to give up so soon. THE POLICES OF C.I.A.A. MEAN PROGRESS IN ATHLETICS BY GIDEON E. SMITH Football Coach, Institute Hampton, Jan. 15—In looking through the Spalding "Athletic Guides" one sees all forms of associations and conferences. Each conference or association has its rules and regulations peculiar to its geographical location. The rules of the different associations may differ, but the aim in all is to make athletic competition clean and keen. Within the last fifteen years associations and conferences have sprung up in colored schools and colleges. There are at present four associations among our colored schools of higher education, each working toward an ideal. Each year some rules are discussed or passed that will cause schools to raise their collegiate standing, to eliminate their trump athletes and coaches, to curb their proselytizing, and to rid them of their professional players. The C. I. A. A. had its birth in 1912, when four members had collegiate departments and when all had preparatory departments or "academies." In 1914, all members had collegiate departments and just two members were without preparatory departments or academies (Howard and Lincoln). Some of the schools have set a definite time to remove their academic departments. It will not be very long before there will be more colleges without academies in the C. I. A. A. It takes time to build up an organization, but with the full cooperation of the loyal members, the C. I. A. A. will be on a plane with the best associations in the country in a very few years. Present Ruler, Director The rules of the C. I. A. A. are few in number and are not irksome. They are made to protect and prohibit each member of the Association. When a member tries to override the rules, then it seems as if those particular rules were put in the constitution to work a hardship on the offended member. The C. I. A. A. has not tried to force the three-year or freshman rule on any member in the Association. It does try to stop proselytizing by prohibiting a member of the varsity team of another school in the Association from joining a varsity team of another school in the Association during the following year. After one year has have been brought about here in the for quite a few years, and the most since inefficient officiating in games it since this sport leads the jamboree it fault the officials, when really they on the other hand, some of the officiating from officiating is due, in most rules, manifested in a comparative few of the one being well up on the rules and they are not able to give but so much out efficiency and this part of it can them for such service. The small taking but so much time from them make an extensive study of rules, painstaking study and application better relation between local officials, an officials' association should be by this phase if the sport. be this did no doubt be boosted one hundred possessed of men capable of covering all, namely, football, baseball, basketball gain in popularity, men with the such.

It is true that the public supports the athletic contests and the schools could not get along without financial aid. We want this support, but we want the public to 'support standards of scholarship and intercollegiate ethics, too. A student is in school to finish courses leading to some definite goal. He should be required to keep up his scholarship as well as his athletic endeavors. The tramp athlete can not do this. The C. I. A. A. has rules to cover his case. Without such rules an athlete could play this year at school A. fail in his studies, transfer to school B, the next year, and play on B's team; and, upon being of age, play at school C. The third decide to play at school C, the third year. The C. I. A. A. has rid itself of this type of tramp athlete. Another writer has favored the breaking up of the C. I. A. A. and forming new associations. This is the radical or believable idea here he would tear down an association that has had twelve years of prosperous growth and not hold them one football season. If schools get in the habit of drawing out of an association and forming new associations when rules pinch them a little, it will be impossible to form strong and lasting organizations. A third writer has stated that college men should compete against college men. In this case, only two Negro colleges in the United States could play each other. Howard and Lincoln. I wonder whether this writer would favor a game between Haskell Institute and any one of the colleges just named. Need of Association Need of Association This year the C. I. A. A. is facing a great crisis. Other associations are watching to see what the outcome will be. They are anxious to find (1) whether the members of the C. I. A. A. will put a greater premium on the financial success of athletics than or the athletes; (2) whether greater stress will be put on them in opposing high standards of scholarship and sportsmanship; and (3) whether the clock of athletics in our schools will be turned back to pre-association days. The absence of an association will mean the absence of definite laws. There are some rules or laws in the C. I. A. A. that are not perfect; this is true of the best organizations; but, in time and by the united work and vigilance of the loyal members of the Association, I believe it will be as strong as good as good in organization. For the benefit of our young athletes, it is hoped that the broad-minded and right-thinking people will stand back of the C. I. A. A. in its effort to maintain high degrees of scholarship and collaborate ebites. UNION STEAM ROLLS ST.

Here's Wm. M. Hubbard, lino-typist. This guy is the Guide's official tight wad; he thinks it's extravagance to spend too much energy in breathing, therefore he has cultivated the art of breathing very short. Yes, he's bald headed, not from old age, but trying to figure how to buy a quarters worth of something for a dime. He would have you believe that he is somewhat bashful and timid, but here's the real low-down on this bozo: He smokes four for a dime cigars, his reason is because they make just as much smoke as the ten cent or higher priced ones. He likes a big time and is plumb full of jazz and won't spend a blooming thing but the evening. The only thing he puts out is the light before retiring—he wouldn't even put it out if it didn't disturb his slumber. He thinks he can swim, therefore, he's planning an early plunge in the sea of matrimony. the floor within striking distance. Gardiner was doing the bulk of the scoring for Union, eaging six field goals in the first half and three in the last. This elongated star, new on the quintet, played brilliantly, scoring 22 points. The guarding of J. Brown was outstanding, "Chink" Smith was second tight point scorer, making four goals from field, three of which were sequential. Amis and Faulk were St. Paul's leading cagers, with Larry's guarding prominent. St. Paul battled hard for the lead in the early stages of the game, but the combination of "tink" Smith, W. Jackson, Gardner was batting on all five and they started to roll up the score on the visitors. The half ceded 23 to 10, with Union's supporters mingling their favorites on to make forty before the game was over. II. Palmer caused two thrillers in the second stagger, as Union ran PAGE FIVE RELIGIOUS NEWS and Church Activites METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH A large audience was present at this church on last Sunday. The S. S. was inspiring with a number of visitors present. Among whom were: Mrs. S. J. Cornellly, of Camden, N. J., Prof. Chesson, Warren Pope, Dr. Sapp and Mrs. Otelia Williams. Next Sunday is the beginning of the Sunday school week. At 11:30 a wonderful sermon was delivered by the pastor, subject: "Divine Beauty." His discourse was helpful to all present. At 7:30, we again listened to the beginning of a series of sermons that will be delivered by the pastor from Revelations on Sunday night. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH At the regular preaching hour a very representative gathering assembled to worship. Rev. R. H Bowling delivered a very interesting and thoughtful sermon from the text Is. 8:13, subject: "Keeping God Central in our Thinking. The speaker asserted that this was a characteristic of Isaiah in his personal devotions, social activities, political affiliations and spiritual dealings and as a result Isaiah had a most successful career. The funeral of Brother Lazarus Brown was held immediately following the morning service. Bro Brown was for many years a faithful and consistent member of our church. He held membership in many fraternal organizations also. Because of his wide acquaintances the funeral was largely attended. Rev. Bowling spoke very-consoling to those whose hearts were torn from the subject: "Nothing separating the Christian from Christ." At night Rev. Bowling spoke briefly from the text Acts 10:33, subject, "Well Done." Those who enjoyed the privilege of hearing this discourse went away feeling constrained to discharge every duty in such away this year, so at the close, it may be said of them, "Well Done." The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are driving in high gear during these days as both of the State bodies will meet here this summer. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Many braved the weather to be present at the Sunday school, and a hearty discussion of the lesson was enjoyed. The morning service was the scene of a great spiritual feast. Rev. Johnson preached the most powerful sermon ever delivered from this rostrum, and so filled the hearts of his hearer until there was a spontaneous outburst of spiritual enthusiasm. The B. Y. P. U. convened at 6 p. m., and presented its regular weekly program which was splendidly rendered and greatly enjoyed. The Lord's Supper was administered at night and closed a day of great rejoicing in 'Zion'. Three were added to the church. The winter revival campaign begins this week and the services will be conducted by Rev. Alex Hudgins, the singing evangelist. The Willing Workers met at the residence of Mrs. Sarah Harris, Courtney Ave. A large number was present to hear the program outlined for 1925. The report for 1924 showed excellent work done. The hostess served her guests at the close of the business session. The Ladies' Aid Society met at the residence of Mrs. Ella Faulkner, Barre street. The secretary's report showed wonderful progress since organization, and each mempled to attain greater heights in 1925. One new member was added to the membership. The society was served by Mrs. Faulkner. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Attendance at all services was good. The Sunday school was very interesting. The Young Men's Class is still holding the CHURCH DIRECTORY banner. The school is in a prosperous condition. At 11:30 Rev. Clandi, the missionary from the Eastern District Convention, preached a powerful sermon. At 3:00 o'clock, Rev. Jones delivered a glorious sermon and also administered Communion. At night, Rev. Jones delivered another soul-stirring sermon from JOCK-31 the subject: "Oh, wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this dead?" BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Quite a number of members attended the services throughout the day. Rev. W. Scott Miles, the pastor, preached two instructive sermons. At 11 a. m., his subject was: "Why didn't the Hebrew children burn in the fiery furnish?" At 7:30 p. m., the usual Covenant Meeting was held and the spirit was evident. When the evening service began, the members were in condition to not only hear, but heed the word. At 8 p. m., the subject was, "Are you a sheep or goat?" The pastor showed that the sheep were the righteous at the call of Christ and that they would be gladly admitted to the kingdom of God; that the wicked were goats and that they would be excluded from Communion and fellowship with Christ, the great King, when they appear before Him. At 6:30 p. m., the Christian Endeavor was held and was well attended. The topic was intelligently discussed by Prof. J. Riley Dungee. Selection were rendered by the Boys' Quartet, and papers were read by the Misses Brown and Dungee to the delight of all present. Miss Carlect Brown led the meeting. Universal Prayer Week was observed and much interest was shown in the topics for discussion each night. Our new pastor was formerly, pastor of Lincoln-Academy (Congregational, Kings Mountain, N.C.) Come and hear him sing and preach. He will please you. WILLING WORKERS BOARD The Willing Workers Board of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church held its last regular meeting with Mrs. Evelyn Williams, of Anne street. The meeting was opened with devotionals. Mrs. L. Moody, of Bute street, was on the sick list. We had two distinguished visitors with us in the persons of Dr. M. D. Smith and Mr. A. Terry. They were introduced to the Board by the president. They gave us some very wholesome and inspiring remarks which were ably responded to by Mr. Gallup. During the roll call for the first of the year each member responded with a verse of scripture after which a delicious repast was served by the hostess. The entire meetig was an enjoyable affair. The next meeting will be held January 18th with Mrs. Goldie Wilkins, 1020 Anderson street. JOHN WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Rev. A. S. Mecovan conducted the services using as his subject: "Open Doors," Rev. 3:8. He stressed our success as a race, nation, family or individual depends not so much on financial gain but on character building. And the door of opportunity is now open for hope and salvation. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH In spite of bad weather services were well attended. Sunday school at 10 o'clock and preaching at 11:30. The congregation received a burning message from 21:4 Rev. Rev.

It promises to be a_wonderful time. Justice Taft and McKenna Close A Door Close A Door It may be well to make this statement here. Perhaps there was something prophetically significant in that Taft inaugural. It was the Chief Segregation in partitions of Washington. It is believed that the inaugural of President Coolidge will be the death of it. This happened recently, as told to the Associated Negro Press by a member of Congress,—one belonging to the new day of fair play. One of the justices of the United States Supreme Court had an opening for private secretary. He had in his employ a very efficient colored man, who held the title of messenger. He was practically functioning as secretary, but without the title he could not get the salary. This justice desired to make this colored man his secretary. There were two objections, according to the inquisition, to Justice Taft and Justice McKenna, respectively. They objected to the precedent, it is stated, and feared that other racial citizens would seek to become secretary to Supreme Court justices. But, getting back to the inauguration, it looks as though Colored America will have the largest representation ever present at such a time. Not only are they more prosperous than ever before, with enough automobiles to reach from here to Chicago if put in a straight line, but they are to be accorded their fair share of citizenship consideration according to the people in the know, and they are coming to the nation's capital to rejoice and lay plans. Munich—German. artists, thru a central organization, are to loan their pictures, at a small fee, to individuals and societies. Thus a collector is given a chance to see how a painting will look in his house, and go with his family. before making the prchase, and schools and clubs can give art exhibitions at moderate expense. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Pastor of First Baptist Church Says God Tells Us Something About Every Condition That Occasions Thot. "We must keep God central in our thinking." This, said Rev Richard H. Bowling in his sermon last Sunday morning, is the one outstanding lesson to be learned from the prophet Isaiah. Continuing he said, "Our text, Isaiah 8:13, contains the secret of his stand on every great issue of the troubled times in which he lived. He looked at every question in the light of God. And religious duty bulked larger in his estimation than anything else one could think of. In addition, to his way of thinking God had something to say about every condition that occasioned thought, e. g., the sins of graft, bribery, drinking, legal injustice, luxury and display, monopoly of natural resources, war. "Isaiah was a social reformer, but not for the mere thrill of it or because he had reasoned that social abuses ought to be ended. Isaiah was a reformer because he saw God fighting eternally on the side of right and justice, a just King on the throne of the universe. God And War "Watch this God-conscious man in his re-actions in some specific instances. Take international relationships. Read chapters seven, eight and ten. King Ahaz and all Judah are full of fear because of besieging nations. Isaiah remembers God as superior to any earthly combine. The signs he gives are a testimony to and a result of his faith in the over-ruling God. Conspiring nations are girding for war, to force their will over on Judah. Isaiah remembers God and predicts failure. He sees no ultimate victory to even unbeatable military combines that attempt to thwart the will of God. If they make war unrightfully, God will eventually bring them to the dust. Coolidge A. Prophet Coulidge A Prophet "How such men as Isaiah are needed in the councils of the nations today! Thank God for such a man at the head of our Government in the personal of President Coolidge. His recent stand against violating the spirit of the 5-5-3 naval treaty was a modern duplicate of the stand of Isaiah. He has called the nation to put its trust in God, i.e., to put goodwill and justice over against mere material armaments. And let it be remembered, it was this same man, God-conscious and putting his trust in moral imperatives, who urged that Congress protect American iterests but not in such a way as to unlovingly embarrass Japan. May American public opinion back him up. For today as in ancient Judah, it is our righteousness and justice, our mercy and goodwill, not our secret treaties and military and naval preparedness, that will preserve us as a nation. Wilful Looseness Wilful Looseness "Take the sins that affect society. Read 3:16f; 5:11f. Here are the prophets pictures of ancient high-fliers who socialized to such an extent they had no time left for considering God and his will for mankind. He declares God sees it all and will not allow such conditions to continue. Captivity and want will be the inevitable end for such unsocial and un-Godly living. "Do you suppose that God is any the less interested in such things today? Put more time and money on self than on service to mankind in the name of God, if you will, and explain it as you may. But God sees and he will repay. To be concrete, flout the prohibition laws, if you will, and give your young business and social associates strong drink. But God sees. Your wilful moral looseness in one respect will bear bitter fruit. If you, a community leader, can break one law of the land and of God's word, and get by; why cannot they break some other law passed for the good of society, and get away with it? If you, Christian parents, can tell your children to pay no attention to what the preacher says about liquor-drinking, why cannot they take it for granted they need pay no serious attention to what he says against adultery and embezzlement? Remember God! Broken-up homes, wrecked health, and lost fortunes today, tell us of the judgement of God as well as did the desolation of war in Judah." PECAN GARDENS IN THE SOUTH Growing pecans in the South has proved to be one of the most fascinating, sensible, profitable and permanent horticultural pursuit to be found and from a financial standpoint they bring higher prices than any other nuts on the world's market. There is no comparison in the element of safety and certainty of the results in raising pecans as compared to other fruits and they are one of the safest investments. Climatic conditions have no horrors for the pecan orchard of the fruit fruits that are lost each year by blight and other diseases of the fruit kingdom. Pecans may be grown leisurely and may be kept fresh for months. They are much unlike cotton, corn and other things that must be planted every season. One planting of pecans lasts a lifetime, all the while proving a wonderful source of pleasure, enjoyment, and above all revenue. Pecans are the highest price nuts in the world and the richest in nutritious food value. Pecans are also the best in quality, flavor or price and the demand is steadily increasing. The demand now is even greater than the supply, thus making the field of pecan industry very much unerowed like other fields of business endeavor. Clear Large Profits Pecans clear such large profits that it may be well worth while to give a good bit of real consideration to the raising of the pecan trees. There are thousands of these trees now clearing on an average of over $50.00 per tree annually. One successful tree, last year produced 267 pounds of 40 cents per pound or $160.20. One tree produced 76 pounds the ninth year set out. Other Values Other values of pecan trees can be found in the wonderful amount of shade afforded. All wise landscape gardeners rank pecan as among the choicest, shade tree for its straight, upright vigorous growing tree and its foliage is remarkably rich and beautiful. Wise Investment Wise investment It is a wise investment for those who own land that is available to the growth of pecan trees. It is an investment that will never be regretted. It is not necessary to have other nut trees in the vicinity of pecans. They will grow and produce profusely many miles away from any nut tree. N. A. A. C. P.

BISHOP PARKS GOES TO OAKLAND Oakland, Calif., Jan. 15—Bishop H. Blanton Pars, Senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Church who has made his residence in Chicago since he was elected Bishop in 1908, has moved to Oakland. As Bishop Parks was the owner of one of the most beautiful homes in Chicago, No. 3212 Calumet Avenue, he now becomes the owner of one of the most beautiful homes owned by any of our people in Oakland. He has purchased No. 1847 East 25th Street, a picturesque estate with flowers, shrubbery, and nearly all kinds of fruit trees, the lot covering about half a city block. The house will be built and with all modern conveniences. Bishop Parks, Mrs. Parks and Miss Naomi Parks arrived here the week before Christmas and are rapidly getting things in order. Thus Bishop Parks becomes the first Negro Bishop to live on the Pacific Coast. For nearly ten years he presided over the A. M. E. Conferencees of this sect on, and with great success. Last May he was again selected by the General Conference to preside over California, and so great has been the growth of the church in this section that he decided that the work needed his closer supervision, and hence he has moved here. All Oakland welcomes him. Bishop Parks was elected Bishop in 1908, and became Senior Bishop last May when Bishop B. F. Lee retired. RECEIVES $ 300 GIFT OF UNKNOWN SOLDIER Unidentified Soldier Who Was Befriended, Returns Payment To Benefactor. Indiana, Pa., Jan. 15—(A. N. P.)—Fifteen new $20 bills were the belated Christmas gift of an unidentified soldier to A. R. Palmer, a business man of Heshhon, near here. The money, attached to a note reading, "From your soldier bum who made good," was received by Palmer. The postmark was unreadable. Palmer befriended the soldier three years ago when he appealed for something to eat at the Palmer house in a heavy snowstorm one night. He was clad in a tattered uniform. Palmer fed and cared for the odored him for the night and then paid him $1.00. The soldier told of his experience in France and of his return to the States, only to find that his father, mother and two sisters and a brother, his entire family, were victims of the influenza epidemic. As the stranger departed the next day he said: "You'll hear from me again." And he made good. GOVERNOR SAVES CONDEMNED YOUTH GOVERNOR SAVES CONDEMNED YOUTH Executive Clemency Removes Gerson Cotton, 18-Year-Old Murderer From Shadow Of Death $ ^{1} $ Chair. (Special to Norfolk Journal and Golden Raleigh, N. C., Jen 16—Judicial clementy removed Gerson Cotton, 18-year-old Negro boy, from the shadow of death Saturday and cas before him the prospect of the remainder of his natural life within the walls of the State Prison. The commutation was granted by Governor Morrison on account of circumstances surrounding the crime, Cotton was scheduled to die Monday morning at 10:30. Sharp conflict arose during the trial as to motive, it being shown that the young Negro evidently was intent upon shooting up the family and did not see the girl that was his victim, and had no quarrel with her. Solicitor R. Hunt Parker, who tried the case in Halifax county, opposed the commutation, while Judge Bond left the issue squarely up to the Governor. The reasons assigned by the governor in the Cotton case follow: "The prisoner in this case, Gerson Cotton, was convicted at the August term, 1924, of Halifax county, of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to death by electrocution September 17, 1924. I reprived the prisoner on several occasions, the last reprieve extending to January 12. "Believing that the prisoner was in such a state of mental confusion and excitement as to make impossible that deliberation which would warrant his paying the extreme penalty for his crime, I hereby commute the sentence to that of 'Mice' imprisonment."

E. CHURCH Sunday, January 18, 1925 100 A. Journalist Decorated New York, N. Y., Jan. 15—(A. N. P.)—On October 20, J. A. Jackson, editor of a department in the Billboard, the big white theatrical publication, and a contributing member of the staff of the Associated Negro Press, was elevated to the 33rd and last degree of Masonry by the supreme council of the Southern Jurisdiction of the U. S. A. Mr. Jackson's activities in the interests of the theatrical profession that resulted in the organization of the National Deacons Club, a special unit of the craft devoted to the showfolks is largely responsible for his elevation to this honor. Another consideration was the fact that for several years he has donated his services as editor to a fraternal publication of the Shriners, The Caravan. The Deacons have just expressed their appreciation of the work of Mr. Jackson by quietly making a nation-wide collection of funds under the guidance of their president, Billy King, himself a 33rd degree Mason, and surprising the journalist with a beautiful watered-silk Baldric emblazoned with bejeweled decorations emblematic of the high degree. Contributions came from almost every state and from Deacons high both in professional and fraternal life. MISSIONARY TO AFRICA, DEAD MISSIONARY TO AFRICA, DEAD South African Daily Paper Pays High Tribute to Former Wilberforce Student Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 5.—The following clipping from the Capetown, South Africa, Daily News regarding Mist Katherine Blackburn, a former student of Wilberforce University, who under the inspiration of training received there gave her life as a missionary to her people in South Africa. "Capetown, South Africa—There passed away on November 14 a very remarkable personality in Miss Katherine Blackburn ("Sister Katherine"), the general secretary of the Colored Branch of the W. Y. C. A., Cape Town. An American by birth and education, she came to this country first as a missionary, an dafferward was deacons in the Dutch Wesleyan Church, Buitenkant St., Cape Town, under the Rev. George Robson. But it was as the head and leader of the Colored Y. W. C. A. that some knew her best. There here influence was quite unique, and the secret of this was first, her devotion to Christ, and, second her devotion and self-sacrifice to the people, for whom she poured out all her energies and gifts. "Quit and retiring in appearance and manner, this little woman in gray wielded an influence that was remarkable, and many today bless God for Sister Katherine She organized the work of her branch in an extraordinary way, Refused New Trial On Charge Of Murder; Date Of Execution Not Set Philadelphia, Pa.

In order to share in this large financial responsibility, which has been placed upon the principals and trustees, the two alumni associations have inaugurated a campaign to raise $200,000 from the graduates and former students of Hampton and Tuskegee. "The plan, as adopted by the committee, is to have joint meetings by the two associations in towns and cities where a considerable number of graduates and former students reside. These meetings will be followed up by personal visits by accredited representatives of the two associations until the goal is reached. "The committee adopted its quota on the basis that the large majority of the graduates and ex-students of both institutions give $100. The plan of payment will make it possible for the average graduate and former student of these schools to pay the amount recommended without working under hardships. While special effort is made to have all the pledges in by April 1, 1925, the individual will have three years in which to complete payment, if he or she so desires, on the following installment plans: namely, one-third of the amount each year. "Some of the motivating influences that actuated the conduct of the alumni associations in making their contributions toward the five million dollar fund may be summarized as follows: "The fund will enable the two institutions to develop their advanced courses of collegiate grade. "The success of the campaign will reduce the financial burden of the principals and enable them to give more of their time and energy to the actual development of the two institutions. "The combined effort to raise the fund will make for closer and a more effectual co-operation of the two institutions." "The committees adjourned feeling confident that each Hampontian and Tuskegian would enthusiastically do his or her ful share in helping to provide greater or educational opportunities for Negro youth."

CRIES OF PREACHER'S WIFE ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF POLICE Philadelphia, Pa., Jan 8—(A, N. P.)—Becoming enraged at his wife with whom he is alleged to have been quarrelling, the Rev. G. J. Jones, so called, of 297 South Fifth street, fired at a policeman who came in response to Mrs. Jones' cries for help. It has not been learned how the quarrel started. However, it was brought out that the Rev. Jones was givink his wife a terrible chastisement. Her cries for "Help! Police! Murder!" attracted the attention of Patrolman Benbow. The preacher started to beat a hasty retreat and was followed by the officer. Jonas fired twice at the approaching officer, the shots lodging in the officer's clothing, but not penetrating his skin. It was necessary for the officer to wound the preacher in the arm and leg in order to bring him to cover. The wounded preacher was sent to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he refused to tell the cause of the quarrel. He will be given a hearing on a charge of aggravated assault and battery and attempt to kill. The Rev. Jones has no church. New York, N.

Jones, President of Oklahoma State Baptist Convention, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, Muskogee, Okla.; Rev. J. O. Haithecox, Finance Committeeman of the A. M. E. Church, pastor Allen Temple, A. M. E. Church, Cincinnati, Ohio. It is singularly significant that these men are making so extensive a trip in such luxurious manner without expense to themselves. It is to be recalled that they earned the trips they have begun by successfully competing against three hundred and fifty other entrants in the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company Grand Trip to the Holy Land Contest which closed last July. Their departure marked the beginning of a two months trip to the above named countries with every item of necessary expense being paid by the Walker Company. This contest represented the first and largest of its kind ever attempted by Negro business and the departure of the winners is but the successful fulfillment of every obligation incident thereto. To Visit Battlefields To Visit Battlefields With clear weather and a good voyage forecast these ministers should reach Harve, France, Sunday and will proceed to Paris where they will be guided to Versailles, the battlefields, Rheims, the Luxembourg Gardens, the Montmartre, Bois, Eifel Tower other famous parts of that magic city. From Paris, they will see Switzerland, Geneva, the Alps, Simplon Pass, and all. And then to Italy, sunny, and intensely picturesque. From Trieste the party will cross the Mediterranean Sea to Alexandria, Egypt, where their minds will doubtless begin to drift back through all history to the dim, previous ages of legend and tradition. Arriving in Cairo by train from Alexandria, the party will visit the Pyramids, Sphinx, Mameluke Tombs, the Nile, Bazaars, Museums, Gardens, etc. They will view here that city's medley of races, hear the bable of tongues and learn of the striking comingling of the Oriental and Occidental, the ancient and the modern, in architecture, art, races, customs, costumes and street sights and sounds. Tour Holy Land And then, on to Palestine, a land held in reverence and veneration by the entire Christian world. The party will have headquarters in Jerusalem, the "Holy City", with its narrow, crooked streets, but every foot of which is replete with Bible lore. A complete program of sight-seeing awaits them. Trips will be made to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mount of Olives, the site of Calvary, the Pool of Silom, the Garden of Nazareth, Bethlehem, Tiberias, and countless other spots hallowed to all civilized men. They will spend two full weeks in Palestine, deepening their knowledge of the Holy Book and seeing at first hand what they have read about for years. Bedouins, venders of relics, money-changers, letter-writers, veiled women, strange traders, handicraftmen, and beggars galore form the crowd they will view, and among which pass a seemingly unending chain of laden camels and asses. Leaving Jerusalem they will proceed to Haifa, Port Said and sail for Marseilles. After a sight seeing tour of this wicked port-of-all-men they will proceed by train through incomparable vineyards and flower-fields of France, arriving again in Paris. Then on to Calais, across the English Channel to Dover and thence to London. In London, city of a thousand sights, they will visit Windsor and Hampton Court, the National Gallery, British Museum, the parks, monuments, ancient buildings, historic sights and see many of the momentos of that country's great men. From there they go by train to Southampton, where they will sail for the homeland. Without a doubt it is a marvelous trip these pilgrims are making, filled with romance, adventure and education. Our race as a whole should be proud they are making so fine a trip, and fine, intelligent men as they are will bring back messages to our group that will prove educational, inspiring, and highly entertaining. Notebooks and cameras are among the effects of these men and our group may expect to be helped by the wonders they will see on the lectures they are preparing and will give on their return. They were buoyant with hopes, keen with anxiety, and filled with anticipation of the new experiences ahead, the new joys they will have and the great knowledge they will receive and be able to share with those they serve. Bon voyage parties honoring these men were numerous. Among them was a reception given Monday evening, January 5th by the New York Walker Agents Union at which a large part of its three thousand membership was present. A brilliant dinner was given by Madam A'Lelia Walker at Villa Lewaro, her mansion at Irvington-on-the-Hudson. At both of these affairs many New York and out-of-town celebrities were present to meet the pilgrims and to wish them a pleasant trip. A host fadmiring,cheering friends waved bon-voyage as the palatial Paris is steamed away toward Europe and radiograms followed the pilgrims way out to sea. FARMERS ARE ATWARTOHOLD THEIR TENANTS Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 14.—(A. N. P.)—A war between white farmers, covering several states, is now being waged, with Negro tenant farmers as the cause. The migration of Negroes to the North has so seriously affected farm labor that it has placed the large farm owners in the position of fighting to get and fighting to hold their "hands." During the week there have been two death, both caused by one white farmer enticing away the help of another. The first death occurred at North Carrollton, Miss, when Stanley Brady was shot and killed by Melvin Chambley. Brady had accused Chambley of taking his men over a long period. Chambley admitted shooting Brady but claimed he did it in self-defense. Much excitement has prevailed around Birmingham, Ala., following the slaying of Eaton Haynes, a white farmer who was called from his home in the night and shot from ambuscade. The Haynes family and the Rives family, both white, have carried on a feud for more than a year, the first death occurring last year when Hugh Rives was slain. One of Haynes men, Russel, was tried and discharged. Ill-feeling, however, has continued. The Rives were charged with taking a colored worker, James Duncan from the Haynes. Duncan was arrested soon after the shooting and is being held as star witness for the State.

P.)—Springfield, the city of Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator and capital of the State of Illinois is seething with excitement as the Illinois Senate and Legislature convenes for the 54th General Assembly. There seems to be a concerted opinion among the solos that Governor Len Small will be able to organize both branches with little opposition. Representatives Scholes of Peora, who was Governor Small's floor leader in the last Legislature was unanimously elected speaker of the House, and Senator Richard Barn of Joliet was chosen president pro tem of the Senate. There was no actual business transacted with the exception of the organization of the two Houses. The outstanding feature, however, was the swearing in of Senator Adelbert H. Roberts, who has the honor and the distinction of being the first colored person to arise to the magnificent honor in any State during the last decade. Senator Roberts is a brilliant scholar; refined and cultured and an orator without a peer, and without doubt he will make an enviable record and be an outstanding character in the upper branch of the Legislature. Also in the House of Representatives the race had the distinction of having four members to take the oath of office: Representative S. B. Turner, who is serving his fifth term, a man of great force and broad acquaintance. He is considered the Dean of the House of Representatives. Representative Warren B. Douglas who resumes his seat for the Third Term a lawyer of rare distinction and an able orator. Representative William E. King also a lawyer, who has a splendid record as Assistant State's Attorney in the City of Chicago and also the writer. All of those had the pleasure of receiving beautiful floral contributions placed on their desks by admiring friends, and the race is to be congratulated that nothing was lacking in the ceremony to make them outstanding features during the inauguration. Officials Given Reception Many receptions were given by the citizens of Springfield in honor of the elected officials; the most outstanding was the reception given in honor of Senator Roberts and his wife by Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Ware at their beautiful and palatial residence. A stream of beautiful and gorgeously gowned ladies and prominent citizens attended. In the receiving line were Sen. and Mrs. Roberts, Dr. and Mrs. Ware, Otis B. Duncan, Essie Arnold, Mrs. William B. King, Rep. Warren B. Douglas, and S. B. Turner; Misses Ruth McCoo and Essie Arnold, Mrs. Anna Malone, Hon. Howard H. Wright, Industrial Commissiones and myself. This beautiful affair was a fitting climax to the history making opening of the 54th General Assembly. The Representatives in company with the Hen. Edward H. Wright, visited Governor Len Small at his beautiful mansion, and were very cordially received by him. He expressed great gratification at their presence and congratulated them on their achievements and assured them that he was at all time at their services as Governor of the State and a hope for the continued progress of the Race. His policy for the next four years will be to lighten the burden of taxation, strict economy in office and a square deal for every citizen regardless of race, creed, or condition. He thanked us for our interview and we returned appropriate felicitations to him. The great old State of Illinois is making wonderful progress and has set a high standard for the sister states to emulate. ENTERS INTO FULL CHARGE OF LAW OFFICE herbert U. White, Graduate of Howard Law School And Former Norfolk Lad Assumes Huge Responsibilities Washington, D. C., Jan. 15—The following article was carried in the Hill-Top, a publication of the Howard University students, October 31, 1924: "Nothing succeeds like success," yet we must admit that success is a relative term as applied to our graduates as well as to any other group. Throughout the country, we have found Howard men and women who have attained unusual degrees of success in their various professions. The most outstanding graduates, by virtue of their youth and accomplishments are Herbert U. White, '18 L., of Detroit, Mich., and Ralph Young, '16, '19, of Baltimore, Md. White entered the office of Lawyer Samuel G. Thompson, '99L, at the meagre salary of ten dollars a week. Lawyer Thompson, who had the distinction of being counsel for the Michigan Central Railroad and many other great corporations, suffered an illness for the duration of more than a year prior to his death. During this period "Herb" White shouldered the responsibility of Mr. Thompson's office, handling his cases in court alone with but one exception when Mr. Thompson, sat with him at the trial table. Upon Lawyer Thompson's death February, White entered into full charge of his office, taking over almost the entire list of pending cases involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. That he is meeting with success may be seen in his ability to enjoy a comportable income from his practice over and above an overhead expense of more that five hundred dollars a month.

JOHNSON, 3R, | There’s a city in this country that has come to the rescue of the hashful ladies of its vicinity. It hes placed in public libraries a bronze tablet with the names of the town’s bachelors and youns unmarried. . | The bronze tablet only contains the names of bachelors and young men who would no doubt prove likable finds fer the yearning miss. The poor bachelor or young man has a slim chance of getting in on the tablet. Any dame who has had a bit of difficulty in finding a life mate can go down to the library and ick out several on the list whom she thinks would make suitable bread winners, then start working n the prospect, OF course, Leap Year is over. but just the same, this doesn’ mean that the yirls should diseon- tinue to hunt husbends. This. is the only means by which some of them will ever get™one. ‘This isn’t any reflection at all'on the modern girls, but men are be- grinning to grow somewhat scepti- eal now ancl you can't blame them for that, ‘There is a saying, don't let the same dog bite you twice.” Last year, in which the women were supposed to make all of the advances, they didn't seem to work so fast, thus making it necessary for thats town in question to do something for them. The means it adopted, ives the dames a peried of grace and they pe have a chance to recuperate and stage a rally. They will have to work fast just the same, be- cause nobody knows how long the prospects will remain prospects. Some seem to think this method will create a lot of enemies, be- cause it is beyond a shadow of doubt that some of the girls will beat others to it, but this will be the unfcrtunate ones, hot puppy. Maybe, when that tablet was placed in, a lot of the bachelors left town, If so, the girls are ou: of luck just the same. On the other-hand, some of them may be posing as married now, with their wives in Plorida somewhere. Even with this system used, some of the women will not consid- ‘ya bachelor. They claim that they get too much enjsyment out of jife—and they do. ‘Some have said that being a bachelor is unpatriotic, but you Know what ‘Sherman said about war, Everyman has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. Well, it’s left to the girls now, if they want husbands, they can go down to the public library’ and look in the tablet for a suitable life-mate. oe Indians Protect Selves Against Posse Lumberton, N. C., Jan, 15—(A. N. P.)—When Sheriff B. F.

At midnight, Holy Communion was celebrated with a number of faithful worshippers of all denominations in the city. It was with no exception the greatest service we ever witnessed. On the 28th, Sunday after Christmas the Rt. Rev. D. D. Tucker, Bishop of Southern Va., visited us and confirmed a nice size class. Again the church was crowded. Watch-meeting found a number of the faithful few gathered around God's altar making their New Year's Communion. The first Sunday in the year, brought out almost the entire membership. After the regular service the congregation was asked to remain for a family conference. The treasurer, Mr. W. W. Wallace, gave a report of the year's work from the financial angle which showed accomplishments: almost unbelievable for such a small congregation. It was most gratifying to the congregation to learn that the work had taken such a great step forward. The report from the rector also showed that in no period of the church's history had the spiritual results been so satisfactory. In deed and in truth it was God's family meeting to review the past and to receive orders to move forward like a mighty army into the future, in the spirit of sympathetic cooperation and thankfulness. On the first Monday night the Vestry which had previously been elected met to take up routine business and to organize for the coming year. The members are, Mr. W. E. Carrington, Sr. Warden; Mr. R.

HANDS A GERM MENAGERIE SAYS DR. D. BECKER HANDS A GERM MENAGERIE SAYS DR. D. BECKER Many Varieties Of Micro- Organisms Will Be Found Among Numerous Other Breeders Of Disease. Chicago, Ill., Jan. 15.—(A. N. P).—Few people fully appreciate the value of one washing his hands and often. It is not generally known that dirty hands cause more diseases than many other things. But they do, according to Dr. Dorothy Becker, who says on the subject: "If a Health Officer should pick a hundred people off the street at random, take them into laboratory and examine the dirt from their hands, he undoubtedly would find a regular germ managerie. "Germs of pneumonia, diptheria and tuberculosis would be among the ones present. Colon bacilli, streptococci and staphylocci would be represented. So would many other varieties of micro-organisms. "Dozens of times a day every active human being picks up germs on his hands or passes germs from his own hands along to some one else. Fortunately most of these germs are killed quickly by contact with light and air and heart, but there is no question that many illnesses are due to carelessness. "Surgeons, knowing the danger of infection, take every possible precaution against picking up germs. Occasionally even surgeons get careless and have to serve time in a hospital bed as penalty. "Hand-to-mouth Habits Epidemics are believed to have much of their inception in the hand-to-mouth habits of the human animal. Towels, drinking cups, cigarettes and handshaking all play their parts in spreading infections. Yet public towels and drinking cups will be used, cigarettes will be passed wrong-end to and handshaking will flourish despite reformers and warnings and sanitary education. You can't entirely protect yourself; not if you expect to roll along with the world as it's run. As a matter of fact almost any form of infection is better now and then than a chronic case of "microphobia", fear of germs. The worried, fussy, fearful person is more of a nuisance than the colon and other bacilli. "Soap and water should be applied to the hands frequently during the day. Washing the hands is a habit that can be easily cultivated. If you will wash them, whenever convenient, for a few days, you'll feel uncomfortable if they aren't clean all the time; and if you'll keep up the practice of handwashing you possibly save yourself a number of unexplainable illnesses during the course of a year.

The presumption is that the Solid South has been broken. Only a part of the Southern electorate is allowed to vote, and those who are allowed to vote, often neglect to do so, as they are sure the Democrats will win in the State and local elections, about which they are mostly concerned anyhow. And the Southern Democrats did not take to so 100 per cent an American candidate for President as John W. Davis.

A very unjust cartoon appeared on the editorial page of the New York American recently. It consisted of two pictures. One entitled, "1914-1918," representing France on her knees with Germany pointing a bayonet at her back, and France is praying to Uncle Sam for the loan which he is about to hand her. In the second picture, en A very unjust cartoon appeared on the editorial page of the New York American recently. It consisted of two pictures. One entitled, "1914-1918," representing France on her knees with Germany pointing a bayonet at her back, and France is praying to Uncle Sam for the loan which he is about to hand her. In the second picture, entitled "1925," France is shown with a gun on her shoulder, arrogantly snapping her fingers at Uncle Sam as he presents a request for the payment of the loan. That is about as unfair a thing as one can imagine. France has never refused to pay the loan. She has been dunned for it ever since the war, not officially, but by certain elements of public opinion. Certain sections of the American press raise a scream every time France builds an airplane for self-defense or a new road for interior improvement. People know or should know that France simply cannot pay that debt for a long time to come. For some years it will take all the money she can raise to rebuild her devastated areas. She cannot think of paying us until she is on her feet again, and she refuses to make any foolish promises that she cannot keep. Because she refuses to make them some people accuse her of repudiating her debt. It is significant that many of the people who are now trying to discredit France are the very ones who were pro-German in the great war, the very ones who complained most when France seized the Ruhr Valley upon Germany's defaulting of the first reparation payment. They cried, "Give Germany a breathing spell!" To that extent they encouraged Germany's default and made it harder for France to collect. Now they do not wish to give France a breathing spell. The world knows that France cannot pay us until Germany pays France. The French debt to us reaches the overwhelming amount of $4,000,000,000, upon which the annual interest is $180,000,000. Even that interest is too much for France to pay just now, unless Germany first pays it to her. The best step yet made in this reparation business is the scheme worked out by General Dawes, fixing a reasonable schedule of German payments to France. It is unreasonable for us to expect the French to exceed that schedule in their payments to us. At best it is a terrible task for France to pay that debt. Constant dunning, misrepresentation and the consequent injury to France's financial credit may make payment impossible. Editorial Page of The World Wants Truth, Unless It Hurts The meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science has attracted considerable attention in the newspapers. It is encouraging to know that a large body of the American people care for something besides jazz, hooch and cross-word puzzles. We fear, however that President Coolidge's enthusiasm carried him too far when he said in his address to the Association: "We know we need truth, and we turn to men of science and of faith eager to give you all encouragement in your quest for it. Neither government nor society fears the results of science's search for truth." That depends on what kind of truth it is. The real thinkers may not fear a newly discovered truth, but the masses of humanity do. Galileo was forced to renounce his scientific discoveries or be put to death. Columbus was called crack-brained because he said the world was round. Colonel Van Dierblit ordered his attendants to eject from his office a young man named George Westinghouse who had a plan for stopping trains with air-brakes. Darius Greene with his flying machine was the joke of our fathers and so were Langley and the Wright brothers. Robert Fulton was the laughing stock of New York because of his steam boat. Dr. Fenner's idea of vaccination for smallpox met the same fate, and Dr. Morton's experiments in anesthesia encountered violent opposition in the medical profession. Nowadays there is a more liberal attitude toward new scientific discoveries because we have seen many fantastic dreams come true. But this applies only to mechanistic discoveries. A discovery in the science of anthropology that ran counter to women's prejudice would set the world by the years again. Even new Darwin's discoveries, made sixty years ago, are anathematized in our Southern states, and bills are brought up in legislatures to prohibit the teaching of Darwinism. Suppose some biologist should definitely prove, for instance, that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, or the Saviour, had Negro blood in their veins. Suppose an archaeologist should announce that "the Sermon on the Mount" was written by a Negro, or that the ancient Greeks who have so inspired civilization were a cross between the Phoenicians and the Negroes. Suppose it were definitely established that the Irish were the descendants of a Jewish tribe, or that the Nordics originally came from Africa and were descended straight from the gorilla. The whole world would be up in arms. The modern world calls itself advanced, but bottom it is much like the ancient world. It wants the truth as long as the truth is painless.

Trehy In the death of James V. Trechy, twenty-five years in the public service of the city, Norfolk has lost one of its most distinguished, beloved and faithful public servants. As clerk of the Corporation Court he was in constant contact with all classes of citizens whom he served so courageously and faithfully, without any discrimination, that everyone who came in contact with him learned to have great admiration and respect for him. Although a professional politician, he was not of the cheap variety, who would stoop to undignified acts in carrying out his plans, which in a measure accounts for his host of friends among those who opposed him politically. He was big-hearted and broad-minded, ever ready to do a kind or charitable act without making a loud noise or big display. He is departed but his works will ever be remembered. In the appointment of Mr. W. L. Priur, Mr. as Mr. Trechy's successor, Judge Sarteant made the very best selection that could have been made. Mr. Priur has been chief deputy clerk in Mr. Trechy's office a number of years and is very largely responsible for the remarkable efficiency with which the office has been conducted and his promotion is certainly an assurance that this efficiency will not be impaired and that the public will receive the same uniform courtesy and satisfactory service from the clerk's office in the future as in the past.

Discrimination in the Civil Service Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University was done a very serviceable job in focussing the attention of Mr. William Dudley Foulke, president of the National Civil Service Reform League, the Civil Service Commission, and others, upon the discrimination against Afro-Americans which has grown up in the administration of the Civil Service law. It appears that there has been a gradual weed-out of Afro-Americans from the civil service, not because there have not been as many competitors as in other years when the service was young and merit, not color, was the test. Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University has done a very serviceable job in focussing the attention of Mr. William Dudley Foulke, President of the National Civil Service Reform League, the Civil Service Commission, and others, upon the discrimination against Afro-Americans which has grown up in the administration of the Civil Service law. It appears that there has been a gradual weeding out of Afro-Americans from the civil service, not because there have not been as many competitors as in other years when the service was young and merit, not color, was the test. It appears that for purposes of identifi- cation, it is alleged, and to prevent fraud in awarding positions, a rule was made that each applicant must file a photograph of himself. As the selection of the successful person has been left to the discretion of the chief of the department, systematic discrimination against our group has been practiced by these chiefs, so that in the departments at Washington the number remaining in the service has grown almost to the vanishing point. WHAT THEY SAY THE JOURNAL Waits Patiently For Each Issue Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:—I wait patiently for each issue of your paper, which I enjoy reading so much. I feel It detracts nothing from the efforts of Dean Miller that Mr. Foulke concealed his view of the question by failing to answer the letter addressed to him at all, the usual refuge of hypocrites and sneaks, and that the reply of the Civil Service Commission is evasive, to say the least. We might style as maliciously false and misleading the statement of the Commission that "The actions of appointing officers in the past have not been such as to indicate that they have made selection for other considerations than merit and fitness, the controlling factors under the civil service rules." It looks to the JOURNAL AND GUIDE as if the Commission was too cowardly to acknowledge and face the truth. The doing away with the spoils system and the institution of the Civil Service Commission was one of the greatest reforms ever brought about in the Federal administration of affairs. It worked smoothly enough until the Nordic color line began to be drawn in the Administration of President McKinley, who was much of a Lilywhite, as most Ohio politicians are and have been, and it has been growing steadily worse every since. It will continue to do so until we bring enough influence to bear to do away with the photograph business and place the appointment of successful competitors in the hands of the Commission and not in the hands of the heads of departments. We have thousands of Afro-Americans in the civil service. They have made good. Most of them at this time are in the postal service, although organization among white railway postal clerks has been strong enough to drive us almost entirely from that branch of the service. It would be a great calamity to the race to have it excluded from civil employment by the government and that is being brought about in the way indicated. The only way to prevent it is to make a determined stand against it. We should all of us get behind Dean Miller and help kill the purpose to drive us out of the civil service. It is a good and necessary warfare. Spirit of the Press Favors Negro State College From the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News. Such economies as the incoming general assembly hopes to institute should not be made to deny the Negroes of North Carolina their long needed A grade college. The Daily News does not think they will but it is not altogether fortunate that a program of threatened stagnation is offered at a time when the needs of the Negroes are greatest. The State has been dealing intelligently and liberally with the race: at no time have the white people been in more thoughtful or generous mind toward the black man. But if any schools are made to suffer they should not be the institutions now engaged in training the leadership of North Carolina Negroes. The need of a Grade A. college is seen by every thoughtful man and woman of both races. There is none in the State which is controlled by the commonwealth and such a condition should not exist a day longer than it will take enlightened self-interest in North Carolina to build one. Before the promoters of panic and reaction advanced upon Raleigh it was assumed that the legislature would authorize such a college for its black population; but students of past legislatures are prone to see "economy" end with a gesture and a delay in constructing more schools for Negroes. Having passed the augmentative stage the proposal comes up to the assembly purely as a business investment. It is no longer a sentimental question. Of course Negroes who lead North Carolina Negroes should be educated in North Carolina. The simplest sort of common sense demands that. But the issue will probably not be so simple as that. Deficits and high taxes will be flaunted before an assembly asked aforetime to be "conservative," an admonition designed to leave the impression that it should be stingy. There is no saving in a policy which sends from North Carolina the leadership of a race to be educated in institutions outside of North Carolina. The college should be built and it should be situated where the atmosphere is best. Of course the Daily News thinks Greensboro an ideal place for such an institution but so is Durham. A Negro college built about the Durham Normal, successor to the National Training School, would be planted in as friendly soil as there is in the United States. On the one side would be the great Duke University, on the other the great state university, to say nothing of the hospital for the race and the wonderful settlement in the southern section of Durham. The worth of the trained, educated and independent Negro is beyond the realm of debate there.

CHAS. H. BOYER St. Augustine's School, Rakeigh, N. C. BY HORTENSE THOMPSON AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? By Rhea E. McCullough for the National Conference on The Christian Way of Life. Published by The Inquiry, 129 East 22nd St, New York. Distributed by the Association Press, 345 Madison Ave. New York. Price, in cloth $1.00. "And Who Is My Neighbor," is a very interesting outline for the study of race relations in America. When we think of race relations, our minds usually settle at once on the relations of the black and white race. While this is a very big problem, it is only a part of the bigger problem of the relation of the many races which go to make up the population of America. Class distinctions abound everywhere, the differences being not only between white and black, but between Jew and Gentile, Irish and Italian and the various other racial stocks from which we come. The book is arranged for a very comprehensive study of civic, economic, educational and Social handicaps of the various under groups. No attempt is made to solve any of the problems presented but in the concluding chapter, there are two significant sentences. "There will always be misunderstandings and prejudices, human nature being what it is," and then the admonition of the master, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." "THE PROCESS OF EDUCATION" By Miles Washington Cornor, A. M. Copies which he obtained from the author at 75c This nicely bound and printed educational treatise is divided into two parts. The first part consists of four chapters concerning the four great elements that enter into the process of education, viz., the curriculum, the pupil, the teacher and the school. The second part more definitely concerns method. The author has been training young men and women how to teach for the past ten years, and he gives a very careful account based on his experiences. While he makes no attempt to cover the whole field, one is given enough insight into the problems presented, to urge one to further study. There is an illuminating introduction by Dr. John Gandy, President of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, which helps to make "The Process of Education," a worthwhile addition to one's library. Bursting Bonds By ZONA GALE Every public library should include a copy of "Bursting Bonds," the enlarged edition of the "The Iteir of Slaves," which is the story of William Pickens. First, because every student of whatever age will be stimulated by this recital of a boy's struggle, told in this straight-forward and compact fashion—for we are still sufficiently a primitive people, we in the world, so that the story of the conquest of a start has the still greater drama of the struggle as carried on by a Negro, in a land where reference to the social stigma of outgrown slavery is regarded as race prejudice. In the first part of the book, "The Heir of Slaves," there is the immemorial and basic moment of the awakening of a mind within a body which is shackled But that is an incident. The State of North Carolina owes to its Negro citizenship—it has owed long—such a college. It is inconceivable that there should be any further delay in establishing it.

NORTON Baltimore, Md. by adverse conditions of poverty plus this social color line. The march of the little boy through the Southern schools, his arrival at a preparatory school with his seventy-five dollars and his otherwise empty hands, on no more than a half line written to him months before—"You can have hope;" his ultimate graduation from Yale University, with his Phi Beta Kappa key; his election as dean of one college and then as its vice president; and his career as a lecturer in the interests of his people—all this is the stuff of life of whatever race. The simple fact that we are all more alike than we are different was never more strikingly symbolized than in histories like this taken from any race or nationality of the world. And in the majority of them too, will stand, shadow, some figure who knew and who cared and encouraged such a figure as this author lightly sketches in the person of his mother, Fannie Porter Pickens. The second part of the book is a grim commentary on the first, though the commentary lies between the lines. For having followed this lad through all his courageous and triumphant years, as he was equipping himself to take his part in the world, we have next his playing that part against a prejudice not only cruel but provincial. We have the picture of William Pickens, Yale graduate, dean and vice president of a college, with honorary degrees from Fisk Tennessee, Alabama and Texas universities, a college teacher of Latin, Greek, German and Sociology, an author of half a dozen important studies of his race, and above all as chief figure in his own astonishing story, and we see him put to indignity and discomfiture in traveling on trains from one lecture engagement to another. The book is a valuable record, an important contribution to the story of contemporary times, for the future to wonder at and for the present to weigh. Also it is absorbing reading. TID BITS By LEONARD MASSENBURG (By Associated Negro Press) It is reported that when the raisers of silkworms go up to Weisun, the sacred mountain, here, for the feast of pure brightness season, they put the eggs into their clothing so that the worms may take the assent with them. Silkworm raisers are very superstitious in this part of the country and this is done to bring good luck to the cocoons. Strangers going through the country where the mulberry trees grow are asked to refrain from conversation because the silkworms might be excited or agitated by the sound of foreigners at hand. The worms are carefully guarded against all noise, some keepers being so careful and also so superstitious as to announce the arrival of travelers to the silk worms. If this custom is not observed and anybody comes to the town making any noise, or is not announced, the raisers of the silkworms become very angry. The travelers receive scent courtesy and are driven out of the town with curses. In 1895 the Negro population QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY By GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. Of what nationality was Abashag, mother of King Solomon, and the apostle, St. Peter? C. W. T. Tarboro, N. C. A. The Hebrews were a people considerably mixed. Their color ranges all the way from fair to jet black and wooly hair. In the Old Testament current among the Jews of Palestine, the illustrations show the kings and prophets to have been colored. Black Jews were common. In the Songs of Solomon, which has been attributed to that ruler, he calls himself black. We know of no description of Peter, the Apostle; but so many of the early Christians and church fathers were black that it would not be surprising if Peter were so. Q. Where was Sheba, the country from which came the queen who visited Solomon? H. G., Oberlin, Ohio. A. Sheba was located in Arabia and was a nation of blacks akin to the Ethiopian. Q. Did Lincoln and Harding have Negro blood? W. L. H., Keokuk, Iowa. A. Rumors to that effect that both Lincoln and Harding had colored blood have been current. During the war a German was arrested for publishing a book in which he claimed Lincoln was a Negro. We all recollect the whispering galleries said of Harding. Exact data is difficult to obtain, but from the excitement which such claims have caused, one may retain their own opinion. Q. I am writing a story laid in Africa, but do not know much about the country and the people. Would you kindly give me some information? E. M. B. Omaba, Nebr. A. Africa is one of the largest continents and contains many tribes and nations. Your re- of Rochester, N. Y., was 900, and only six men and women could not read and write. In the late 90's a colored man in the person of Rev. John Albert Williams was nominated for the school board in Omaha. In the Far East, and especially in Manchuria and in China, bordering on Mongolia, thousands of factories are dedicated exclusively to dog breeding. When the animals are seven months old they are killed by strangulation so as not to ruin their skins. These skins, with very thick hair, because of the cold in these regions, provide winter coats for the inhabitants of the Chinese empire, now the Chinese republic. The first female student in the world who received a diploma in law was Miss C. B. Ray, a young colored lady of New York city. She graduated from Howard University. The first colored school south of the Mason and Dixon's line was organized May 20, 1865, in Lexington, Ky. It was established in the same building over which Capt. John Morgan hoisted the first Confederate flag in Kentucky. Frederick Douglas, the famous orator and philanthropist, was often called "Black Douglass" so as to distinguish him from Stephen A. Douglass. India Exports Monkeys New York, N. Y., Jan. 15.—(A. N. P.)—According to a traveler just returned from Bombay, India, the export of monkeys is becoming a feature of Fast Indian commerce.

Dunhar was born at Dayton, Ohio, June 27, 1922, and died there February 19, 1966. Q. Where and who was the temple of Philae? Charlesson, W. Va. A. The Temple of Philae is considered the most beautiful of all Egyptian temples. It is quite small in comparison to others, but really a work of art. It was located on an island of the Nile in Upper Egypt. Q. What oracle of ancient times was it that a Negro woman was said to have founded? R. L. J. Troy, N. Y. A. The great oracle of Greece known as the Oracle of Delphi Herodotus mentions the legend and says that the woman was an Ethiopian. Q. What language do the natives of Africa speak? R. F. L. Duluth, Minn. A. It is to be regretted that the American Negro knows so little of Africa. Among the English speaking Africans there are scores of scholars who have been educated in France and in England and who are more highly educated than many of our own race here in America. Many of them speak from three to ten different languages and are conversant with all phases of learning. Get hold of some of the newspapers from West Africa in the United States and read them. Some years ago an African as thor had published a number of short stories that were better than anything our own has done. He wrote under the pen name of "Creole." Say "Tut" Is Joseph Of The Bible London, Eng., Jan. 15—(11 P.)—A merry war is raging and Biblical scholars of varying religious persuasions in England over an attempt to identify Tut-Ankh-Amen, the ancient Egyptian monarch whose extinction two years ago set the scientific world agge, with the Bible Joseph, the gentleman of the art of man colors." The Jewish World recently published the article dealing with the identity of "Tut" quoted a noted Egyptologist, who in the New York Jewish Force argued in favor of this theory. If the professor's surmise is correct, says the Jewish World, it follows that when the sarcophagus of Tut-Ankh-Amen is opened will be found to be empty because when the children of Israel were up out of Egypt they took with them the bones of Joseph.
