C.,—Isaac Mckinne of Elizabeth City, N. C., which candidate for governorship on the Carolina on the Republican ticket, running against the present incumbent, governor McLean, and who will be membered by Afro-Americans of a State for his vile epithets and expectations thrown at the race running his campaign speeches, was born in as a Federal judge of the eastern North Carolina District week by Chief Justice Taff, after administering the oath, graduated him and expressed personal pleasure in having gone to the judge's court. Judge Meekins was appointed by President Coolidge over number of applicants who had displayed such rank race prejudice during their career. Afro-Americans are now wondering at chance they will have of led before the bar of Judge keings' court. Norfolk Journal and Guide According to the spokesman for the two groups, President Will G. Harris of the Southern and President Hennan F. Perry of Standard the two companies will operate for the present as separate entities, with the possibility that later they will be consolidated into a single organization which will be known as the Southern and Standard Life Insurance Company. Officials and directors of both will be on the board of the new combination. Mr. Harris pointed out that more than one million assets of over five million dollars and said that there was outstanding business of nearly $75,004,000 covering some three hundred thousand and policy holders. He further stated that the move made doubled the protection behind Standard Life policies, and gave birth to an inter-credit control and cooperative before attenuated. Officers and directors of Stand and were reelected with three exceptions: Bishop R. E. Jones, his brother David Jones, Secretary of the company, and J. R. Pinkett director of agencies. Their withdrawals were voluntary; they remain as stockholders and are safe to be in accord with the merger plan. They also problem facing the company. The merger took place after the stockholders and directors had met in their 12th annual meeting and cannounced the critical situation brought about by the failure of Mr. Perry and his associates to raise sufficient money to discharge the $400,000 obligation owed by the Service Company, an organization which held the majority of the business of the Life Insurance of stock and which had bynature donated them to the Southern Trust Company of this city as security for loans. Premature reports given to the racial and daily press of the country several weeks ago had heralded the fact that white Northern capitalists and philanthropists had agreed to advance the money needed after herculean efforts made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Business League. Later disclosures are said to reveal that this effort failed, contributory causes being first that a greater amount of money was required than originally was stipulated; second, that affairs of the Service Company due to the demands for Equifax found were insurance commission were more indictable than thirdly, a disinclination on the part of officers of the Standard and Service Companies to resign from what they considered their life's work. Mr. Rosenwald and the eastern group are said to have withdrawn their offer. Career of Standard Life The ups and downs of Standard have held the attention of the entire race. Probably no business venture has so stirred the financial ambitions and dreams of the Negro nor given him more confidence in his ability to handle big business affairs. He made the direction of Homan E. Perry, its founder (Continued p. 666, Six). Beats Tanner's Marksmanship A few week's ago, J. T. Tanner, Norfolk sharpshooter, announced that on a hunting trip he had killed twelve birds at one shot. Now comes John H. Collins, of Chester, Md., with the announcement that while gunning last week he killed twenty-seven wild ducks with a single shot, and wounded more than a dozen, which, although crippled, got away. Mr. Tanner will have to fare forth again with his mighty gun if he has any ambition to recover his lost prestige. MALONE SLATED FOR REGISTER OF THE TREASURY St. Louis Business Man And Financier Has Strong Backing For The Important Post. HAS CLEAR RECORD OF SERVICE TO RACE Washington, D.C.—It is natural for men to aspire to vote, and, be voted for, to desire official patronage. Our group has been frozen out of most of the Presidential appointments during the past three Administrations, if not four, and there is a general feeling that it should make a concerted effort to recover the lost ground, more for the race prestige than for the money values involved, hence some of our strongest men are going to secure a fair share of representation in Presidential appointments from the Coolidge Administration, and it is hoped succeeding. Aurin E. Malone, president of Poro College at St. Louis, one of the outstanding business and political influences of the race, has been in the city during the past week and has had important conferences with Senator Spencer, T. M. Clark, private secretary to the President, Congressman L. C. Dyer, and other dissident congressmen. Mr. Dyer is the position of Register in the Treasury, his name was mentioned in connection with this position during the administration of President Harding, which position has in other administrations been held by distinguished men of our group, a straw vote taken by the St. Louis Argus, 1920, showed that Malone was the choice for the position of the National Negro Press Association. Like poll now shows a like preference, why? Because Malone was a clear record of race service in business and politics and would be a credit to the race as Register as well as a distinct asset to the Republican party. Just take a little peep into the record of service Malone has made. He was a delegate to the Convention at Cleveland, in June, representing the 11th congressional District of Missouri, which includes St. Louis with Poro College and the 12th district. Scott was an original Dawson man for Vice President to the extent that he voted for Dawson on every ballot. Scott was also the first college man to be elected ward committeeman of St. Louis. The Missouri delegation unanimously elected Malone as their representative on the Coolidge Notification Committee; he also attended and the only one to vote in our race group for the pollination lunch given by President Coolidge at the (Continued on Page 13) JANITORS PRESENT RETIRING OFFICER HANDSOME CHAIR Mitchell L.

Disagreement With Butler Causes Slemp To Quit Job (Special to the Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C.—C. Bassom Slemp, one time lone Republican Congressman from Virginia, now secretary and personal advisor to the President has handed in his resignation to go into effect as soon as his successor, Representative Everett Sanders, of Indiana can qualify for his position. Mr. Slemp has been the close ally of the President in all political matters, particularly in securing for him the votes of the Solid Southern Delegation of the National Republican Convention at which time Mr. Coolidge was nominated. It is also a well known fact that Mr. Slemp has been a very close advisor of the President in the matter of patronage dispensing and President Harris and very high regard for all of his Mr. Slemp's views is shown in the matter of the appointment of Isaac M. Meckins, of North Carolina, one of the most bitter opponents of political equality for the Negro in America, to a Federal judgship. Butler His Nemesis When he became Secretary to the President everything we t swimming until William M. Butler of Boston, appeared on the scene. Mr. Slemp organized the Goodidge pre-convention campaign and hoped to be named chairman of the Republican National Committee. Losing this was his first disappointment. At the convention, Mr. Slemp and Mr. Butler were not in harmony and never have harmonized since. Throughout their disagreements the President did not lose confidence in his ability, and regret to see him post. The disagreements between Slemp and Butler, however, made it impossible for the President to promote the former to a Cabinet position. Being independently rich as well as ambitious, the only thing for Mr. Slemp to do was to retire and he has now made his decision. Bratton First Race C.P.A.In Louisiana New Orleans, La., Jan 22—M. B.

Allen Starts Movement To Place Famous Negro Statesman In Hall of Fame at New York Univ. NATION WIDE SUPPORT NEEDED FOR CANDIDACY (Special to the Journal and Guide.) New York, Jan. 17—Cleveland G. Allen, a newspaper man of this city, and on the staff of the Home News, and Musical America, has resumed his fight to place Frederick Douglass, the famous Negro statesman in The Hall of Fame at New York Univ. The new names that will be chosen for the Hall of Fame will take place this year, and Allen will wage a vigorous campaign to bring city, and on the staff of the Home News and Music New America resumed his fight to place Frederick Douglass, the famous Negro statesman in The Hall of Fame at New York University. The new names that will be chosen for the Hall of Fame will take place this year, and an Allen will wage a vigorous campaign to bring Cleveland G. Allen Frederick Douglass prominently before the nation with a view of having him elected Mr. Allen nominated Douglass in 1920 when he was attending New York University, and the naming of Douglass attracted wide attention and comment throughout the country. It was the first time that a Negro had been named for the Hall of Fame, and one of the leading newspapers of the country to endorse his candidacy was the New York World, which said "That he is as a famous American and not as a Negro he deserves his place in the Hall of Fame." Some of the most prominent men and women of the country of both races endorse the candidacy of Douglass, an important of the electors voted for him. Owing to the fact that there were several candidates ahead of Douglass he was not elected in 1920. His name is still before the electors, and Allen has received a letter from Hon. Robert Underwood Johnson director of the Hall of Fame statink and the name of Douglass will come up again this year. The candidates of that number of time are chosen by 100 electors who prominent statesmen, college professors, and leading men and women in all walks of life. There are 100 electors, then three-fifths of that number is required for the election of a candidate. In 1920 Mr. Allen received a letter from Mrs. Grace D. Vanamee who was the acting director of the Hall of Fame stating that Douglass had been placed on the preliminary ballot and would go to the electors under the class of high public officials. The announcement that Douglass would be brought up again this year has brought forth a positive comment, and the young college men and women are taking a keen interest in the matter. Two young college college fraternities and sororites have ordered his candidacy. The Omega Psi Phi fraternity in its annual session in Washington went on record as being in favor of the movement after a resolution had been read by Frederick Johnson of New York a student of Columbia University. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority one of the largest Greek letter societies among colored women passed a resolution in its session held at the Y. W. C. A. in New York in which they pledged to support an effort to place Frederick Douglass in the Hall of Fame. The resolution was read by Miss Enid (Continued on page 6.) 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers STATE MAY TAKE OVERDELINQUENT GIRLS' SCHOOL Alexander Bill, Presented By Only Woman In N. C. General Assembly Will Provide For Colored Girls. WOMEN'S CLUBS NOW FINANCING SCHOOL (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 22—Miss Julia Alexander, of Charlotte, the only woman in the general assembly, on January 17, introduced the first bill which the legislative council of North Carolina women offered, a bill to take over the industrial school for delinquent colored girls now privately conducted near Efland in Orange county. The bill carries an appropriation of $25,000 if pased. School is Essential The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs has for the past six years been raising the money to buy land and build a college for such a school. They bought 142 acres at Efland and built a 10 room cottage on the site, and now they offer the plant to the State for a training school similar to Samarsand for white girls. Only Samarsand for white girls can be taken, according to the bill, and the women of the State feel that both for the protection of the communities and for the welfare of colored girls the school is essential. The board of public welfare expresses keen desire that the bill pass. Virginia has a school which was launched in exactly this way and it is one girl from North Carolina is there now, because there was no place in North Carolina for her, and out of courtesy Virginia helped with the problem.

Finger, leading club woman who conducts a department in the Charlotte Sunday Observer paid the following compliment to Johnson C. Smith University in a recent article entitled "Keeping Standards: In the general folliculations over the announcement of Mr. J. B. Duke, the unpublished generosity to education, the question was asked, 'Why does Johnson C. Smith, the colored man's university share in the proposed fund?' "The answer is a simple one: the school came to live as a pioneer of its kind in a land which at the time of its establishment offered difficulties to its success and permanency. A high standard of merit and of conduct was established and has been almost marvelously maintained by student body and by faculty and not many young men's schools or colleges anywhere bear so faultless a record of even petty misemenagers among close neighbors and in the county located. "Simple, simple, unostentatious, deeply appreciative and glad to be of service, is its local record. "As an example of the spirit of the university: "Dr. Long is head of the music department and an excellent vocal instructor at Johnson C. Smith (Biddle) University. He is giving certain of his free hours to the training of the colored children in the public schools free of charge." Dr. John H. Byrd Buried Friday Dr. John H.

New York, Jan. 22—(P. N. S.) Carelessness, superinduced by what critics believe to be too regular fighting, caused the downfall of Tiger Flowers in Madison Square Garden Friday night in one of the most spectacular and sensational endings to one of the most sentimental "built-up" fight in the history of fistism. Flowers lost to Delaney via the K. O. route in exactly 43 seconds after the opening of the second round. Flowers, up to that time, a veritable fury of unleashed ferocity and vengeance, fighting for a chance to get into big money circles and meet Grech, whom he knows he can lick, dropped his guard temporarily for a moment during the second round. He had been piling up points galore, and the huge stadium crowded to its full capacity of 14,000 spectators, had been fairly rocking with the cheers which accompanied his wonderful exhibition. But then came the end. Delaney, who shattered the hopes of Paul Berkenbach with one well-timed punch, evidently knew that he had no chance to cope with Flowers' speed and aggressiveness. He knew that sooner or later, the Tiger, becoming overconfident, would lower his guard. Rushed to the ropes as the second round ended, this is just what happened. Then, like a bolt from the clear, sounded "Tiger's" death knell. A sudden shifting of position, a right, swung with that peculiar motion which relays his best effort, Delaney stepped in. Flowers sensed the coming of the punch, but too late for even his amazing speed to carry him out of danger. Flush on the button, that terrific right landed. Down to the floor wort Flowers. The huge stadium was silent, stunned with the sudden reversal of form the fight had taken. Courageous even in his pitiful position, with nothing between him and oblivion but his gameness. Flowers tried hard to rise. But it was of no use. Delaney's hope-destroying right had landed solidly, and when it landed had paralyzed Flowers. Flowers was still trying to rise, when the fatal count of ten ended the fight and sent him back to the ranks of the miners, there to again start on his long, hard and devious journey towards fame and fortune. Up to the time of the first bell Flowers, victor over Johnny Wilson, Dan Dowd, Joe Lohman and Billy Britton, was a prohibitive favorite. Few figured that Delaney had the punching power to stop his opponent. And up until the time that the fight ended tragically for the Atlanta "Deacon" bets at 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 were going begging. In the semi-final, Larry Estridge somehow took off a wee bit of the sting of Harlen's misery and disappointment, when he stopped Charley Nashert of Newark. Nashert went down from a left and settled on one knee, where he was counted out. In the other fight, Bob Lawson defeated Roscoe Hall of Jersey City in the third stanza. SCRAPPING BOOKERS RECEIVE AWARDS With a colorful and fitting program which marked the culmination of a popularity contest conducted by Washington High School to determine the most popular member of the 1921 football squad. Anderson Coble, versatile and heady leader of the Serrapping Bookers emerged the victor with 600 votes and was awarded a gold football, which was a token of esteem given by the school. Other entrants in the contest were, Smith with 357 votes, Johnson, 482; and Williams, 500. The votes sold for five cents each and all the workers in the contest worked hard for their favorite. The sum of $99.15 was raised, which will be used in helping to issue the first class annual ever attempted by Washington. Letter Awards Members of the 1924 squad to receive letters were, Faison, Poole, Johnson, Lloyd Williams, Leroy Williams, John Williams, Ross, Tynes and Hart. Old letters to repeat were, Boyd, Diggs, Nottingham and G. Tynes. The following men were awarded sweaters, Coble, Smith, Leroy Williams, I. Wilson and manager Bush. Spirit ran high throughout the entire program and it was manifested profusely when the whole "Teddy" Boyd, the "Old Reliable" who lay ill at his home. Boyd's feats on the gridiron the past season won for him numerous laurels and he performed brilliantly. The program was capably rendered and much credit is deserved by the committee in charge of the arranging. The program committee consisted of: W. C. Fulford, V. S. France and O. A. Wilson. Eugene Manning was master of ceremonies. Numbers on the program, prayer, Rev. V. C. Hodges; soprano solo, Mrs. Pearl Brown; piano solo, Mrs. Jasie Bell Jackson; address, Attorney D. H. Edwards; violin solo, Wm. Kemp; piano solo, Miss Mayne Coble; presenting of awards, Dr. G. Hamilton Francis. Remarks were made by John Busr, manager of the 1924 team, Anderson Coble, captain of the 1924 team, John Williams, captain elect and Dr. S. F. Coppage. CHARLES MAJOR IS POPULAR ATHLETE Boston, Mass., Jan. 22—Charles Major, formerly of the DeWitt Binton High School of New York City, is setting all kinds of records in Maine. He is at the Colourne Classical Institute, and his prowess in jumping and running have won or him an enviable record. Just at the present, plans are being formulated to interest his school in sending him to the Boston A. A. Games, which come off con, for the "purpose of creating more interest and raising a higher standard in interscholastic athletics." He has jumped 6 feet 2 and a fraction inches, and this is remarkable for a scholastic student. Won National Title This lanky athlete, decked in the silken Black and Red of his New York High School, broke the national indoor interscholastic high jump record in 1922 with a great cap of 5 feet 9% inches. This record was made at the Princeton 'bub games in March of 1922 at he' 22nd Regiment Armory in New York City. Since then he has continued to improve. His records now are over six feet, which is good for any jumper. In his running he is characterized by his tremendous stride and seeming tirelessness. His success in New England indicates that he is one of the coming athletes from which to expect records. This is recognized by those in his section of the country. For this reason he is being secured for the B. A. A. games to raise the standards of competition." Malone Slated For Register of Treasury (Continued from Page One) White House during the notification ceremonies, Malone was chairman of the Missouri Speakers' Bureau of work among our group in the last presidential campaign, and was aly assisted in this work by Prof. Charles C. Williams. He is proud of Missouri's 70,000 majority for Coolidge and Dawes; he not only rendered his service, gratis, but contributed $2500 to meet the deficit left over from the 1920 campaign. For the past three years, Malone managed Congressman Dyer's campaigns. For the past four years he has been a member of the Missouri State Executive Committee, Mr. and Mrs. Malone are the largest philanthropists of our group, among their latest donations are gifts of $25,000 to the Y. M. C. A., and $10,000 to the Howard University Medical School. Malone is well qualified for the position of Register of the Treasury because of his financial standing and his contact with moneyed interests, having paid $28,000 income tax during the past year. He is of genial disposition always giving the appearance of having just emerged from the latest haberdashery, and is easily approached. Yes, there are others, but Aaron E. Malone of Missouri well deserves to receive the appointment to the Register of the Federal Treasury, and has the full endorsement of Senator Spencer, the Missouri Congressman, and the press. Holy Cross A. A. C. Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan 22--(P. N. S.)--The Holy Cross A. A. C., at its regular meeting elected to the executive body the following officers: Forrest Townes, president; John Berry vice president; William Fisher, secretary-treasurer, Gadson Creed, retired president, was placed on the list of honorary members. According to announcement of the newly elected officers on ambitions and aggressive athletic year is in prospect. Many things are proposed for the improvement of the club and the development of the membership. For Indianapolis Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 22—(P. N. S.)—The baseball situation, so seems to have marrowed down considerably in the past few weeks, as was brought out at the meeting here last week, composed of members of the combination of local men who posted a $1,000 forfeit at the recent league meeting held in Chicago. Warner Jewell presided at the meeting and told of his aims and plans for putting this city back in the league and back on the baseball map. He proposes to have a strong club for the season. Leondi Victor Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 22-(P. N. S.)—Playing with a pop and dash which will carry them on another championship, the famed Leoni quintet decisively defeated the St. Matthews Lyceum Club at Labor Temple, Friday evening, the final score being 55-35. From the first tap of the ball, the combination, Posey-to-Motonto Hampton swung into action, and with the lads rapidly piling up points, soon had an advantage which could not be overcome. W. P. Young, captain and guard of the team, is still confined to his home on account of illness, and it is believed will hardly be able to play for sometime. ARMSTRONG SCALPED BY HUNTINGTON HI Newport News, Va., Jan 19—Huntington High School of this city, last year's Virginia State basketball champions, opened their delayed season to day with an easy victory over the Armstrong high school five of Richmond by 43 to 11 score. This is the other team which is being coached by the Hampton Institute all around state, David Tunn. He has developed a strong quint with his material at the local Y, M, C, A, and now his younger practices have coped their initial game in their race to recapture State honors. His "Y" once taken the measure of two intercollegiate teams and one high school team so far this season. They lost only to Hampton. This is an enviable record for the young coach who is specializing in physical education and coaching at Hampton Institute. BERKLEY WARD Trinity A. M. E. Church held all of its regular services on last Sunday. The attendance was not up to the standard. At the morning hour of worship the pastor, Dr. A. J. Nottingham preached an inspiring sermon from St. Luke 9:57-16. At the evening hour of service he again delivered a great message from Job. 22:21, subject, "Getting Acquainted with God." The Sunday school, the Senior A. C. E. L. and the Junior league held their services. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH There was a vivid visitation of the Holy Ghost as Rev. J. C. Diamond, so forcefully expounded the gospel. The Missionary Circle of the Church is doing wonderful work. They go to many homes each week seeking sinners. They have been rewarded with several conversions. There is still another missionary band led by Mrs. Burton which visits the homes of the shut-ins and carries the gospel to them in prayer and song. They visit two homes each Sunday. The Bible Class which meets every Wednesday night is making wonderful progress. They have had only five lessons and have grown from 15 to 51. Come out, join and learn more of the Bible. For a long while Rev. Diamond and a few followers have visited Bam's Box Factory on Wednesday at noon to pray and talk with the hundreds of colored men who work there. This work has not been in vain for it has caused many to visit church and live better lives who would not have thought of themselves if they had been allowed to go on undisturbed. This work is under the auspices of the white Y. M. C. A. and the First Baptist is the only Colored church helping to carry on the much needed work. The cantata given by the choir was a very creditable affair. The solists were at their best. Mr. and Mrs. William James have moved into their beautiful new bungalow on Chapel street. Mr. and Mrs. C.

BROWN Baltimore, Md.—There is a great deal being said about Howard University's withdrawal from the Colored Inter-legible Athletic Association. Every week since Howard's withdrawal the Negro Press has carried articles by persons who seek to condemn Howard and to exalt the Honorable Judges of the C. I. A. A. in taking the position that Howard has not the right or is incompetent to decide Howard's own course and policy of athletic operation. This aftermath of Howard's decision has brought clamours and howls from many C. I. A. A. supporter, none of whom seemed to see or care to discuss the issues involved. To get down to the basis of things as they now stand, let us assume that the C. I. A. A. acted perfectly within its rights and jurisdiction to forfeit certain games that were played by Howard with a man or men who were barred by the association. Yes, we will say that the association had the right to forfeit these games but, what else? In the mean time was Howard deprived of the right to come out of the association and occupy the same position that any other school occupies that is not a member of the association? This is the question that has been lost sight of and this is the question that the C. I. A. A. must answer satisfactorily if its decision is to be upheld by the final tribunal of public opinion. Howard felt that its membership in the association should be terminated. Howardites and the many Howard sympathizers feel that, under the conditions, the only honorable thing for Howard to do was to withdraw as was its right to do. Howard did not and should not have tried to break up the association or try to shape the association rules to fit Howard's in- dividual, and entirely different, position. Upon this decision by Howard the C. I. A. A. has taken the very unreasonable and unjustifiable position of trying to humiliate, punish or boycott Howard. Such unwarranted act has been done to the extent that members of the C. I. A. A. have cancelled all proposed games with Howard in all phases of athletics. This revengeful spirit on the part of the association is resented by Howardites as well as by its many followers and the neutral public, will in the end repudiate such a narrow and retaliatory attitude. By what authority does the association attempt to revive to punitive measures against Howard? How long will Howard thus be considered undesirable and unworthy to play these association teams? Howard had the right to withdraw from the "intercollegiate" association and upon withdrawing Howard was entitled to the same position, with reference to the association, that is occupied by Harvard or Tuskegee of Notre Dame or Willerford, Howard was simply not a member and that was all there was to it. The C. I. A. A. teams have always played teams TAKES KINK OUT IN 3 TO 6 DAYS They are going simply wild over Weeck's Famous Kink Straightener; Acts like music. Its different.

Such games were not recognized by the association, and all of the association teams should have been left free to play Howard under the same conditions. Princeton plays Chicago; Georgia plays Yale; Notre Dame plays LeLand Stanford. They are not in the same conference or association; yet they are some of the best games played. The best interest of our athletics would have been served if the association had taken this position. Howard's decision is made; it will stand and, in the end the "buyout" of the C. I. A.

Alleged unreasonable charges for a suitable court in which to play have dampened the ardor of those promoting basketball in the seaside city. Once the game is put on a firm footing, once it has created such interest as will draw crowds large enough to make lawn basketball fees possible to pay, then those who possess the facilities for basketball can set their price to an extent, within reasonable bounds.

January 22—T-race for championship honors in basketball continues merrily on with Union, Lincoln, St. Patrish Shaw, A. and T., Van. Normal Institute, Virginia Seminary, and Hampton exerting effort to produce consistently winning teams. Charles H. Williams, assisted by Gideon E. Smith, has apparently turned out another crack court team here at the seaside seat of basketball. Ever since the Seasiders entered basketball competition in 1912, the Blue and White has had nothing short of phenomenal success on the court. This year's team, from all indications, is another success. Four starts to date have resulted in four victories. St. Paul, Newport News "Y", Shaw, and Lincoln have all made vain attempts to halt the charge of the lightning-like five representing Hampton. Thirteen is the highest number of pointy any team has earned on Hampton. St. Paul got 12; Newport News "Y" 11; Shaw got 12; and Lincoln scored 13. Hampton's scores have ranged from 35 to 40, and in no game has the first five played the entire time. Depend On Teamwork Depend On Teamwork A star guard, Gunn, has been lost to the team in association games because he has played four years. Ernest Simmons, another guard, is the only other letter man missing. He did not return to school. The first team is made up of experienced players, each an individual star. But it does not depend upon brilliant individualism for victory. In fact, individualism is frowned upon.

ITS RELY ON K FOR VICTORIES sized at Hampton. Dribbling is used only to advance the ball, or to bewilder the opposing team while the local team settles back into its stride in a tight moment. The team lines up at present with Alfred McNichols and William Lambright in forward; ex Captain Junius Langston and Captain Chester Jones in guard, and Edward Hargrove in center. Supporting this five are some of the most promising second string men a coach could want. The subs are of the fast, aggressive kind and are rapidly developing into finished players. Home Stretch Hardest The hardest stretch of the Seasiders' path lies ahead. The remaining games will be with teams which cannot be taken lightly. The critical stage in Hampton's campaign was reached in the game on the 16th, with Lincoln in Philadelphia. Since 1912 Hampton has won six intercollegiate titles and one national title in basketball. If she can stand the hard grind and does not become overconfident she has most excellent prospects of finishing the season without defeat. Following is the remainder of Hampton's schedule: Union at Hampton, Jan. 24; Va. Seminary at Hampton, Jan. 31; Hampton at Union, Feb. 13; Hampton at Shaw, Feb. 14; Va. Normal at Hampton, Feb. 21; Lincoln at Hampton, Feb. 23; Morehouse probably at Hampton, Feb. 28. Other games with A. and T. and Va. Seminary are pending.

BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON Portsmouth, Va., Jan 16—A mother leather pushing fiasco that fell flatter than a pancake was held under the auspices of the American Legion at Capitol Theater, where a good size crowd punctured here and there with a sprinkling of the fairer sex who had also put up their ducts to see and urge on to victory their favorite "ham" fighters. The fight was staged in connection with a special motion picture secured for that night. The picture was good. Enough for that because this was intended to deal with the tame mcee that was in evidence throughout the four bouts not even barring the feature fight of the evening which proved to be more of a fizzle than these that mainly preceded. The first scrap, which was not scheduled on the program, was a little set-to-between Rufus and "Peg." two men minus part of one of the walking utensils provided by nature. Of course, this proved no more than fans expected. They gave as good as one-legged men could give and what they did give was almost as good as what the others rendered. This bout was about even, with both men hitting the floor every time there was a misconnection of blows. First Rufus would go down, then "Peg" would do a loop to the convase. And when all was said and donors were about evenly divided, the first mess of the evening, which was one of the scheduled prilims was between Tommy Butler, of Norfolk, 145 pounds and Snowden, of Portsmouth tipping the beams at the same poundage. These scrapers started out rather tame, feeling out each other, with Butler missing his first swing. Not only did he miss his first swing, but missed a number of others. He missed more than he landed. Butler and Snowden mixed it up a little with the former swinging like an old dilapidated Dutch windmill. In the second furious mix-up, Butler wilted under a shower of haymaking slams delivered through the courtesy of Snowden and wended his way to the rises, where he took his time to slide to the floor and waited the fatal ten and his seconds yanked him out of the arena. The second spasm was a little longer lived than the first and it was scheduled to go six rounds, but it did not get that far on account of Johnnie Lambert, of Norfolk failed to leave his corner to face Fred Porter, of Portsmouth and resume hostilities. This affair was also harmless. Both me seemed to be in love. The way they bugged, and embraced, could Rudolph Valentino have seen it, he would have turned green with envy to know that someone else could love like him. As it was, Porter had the best of the milling and was declared the winner when his opponent refused to respond to the gong that announced the opening of the fifth stanza. In the semi-final wind-up, Kid Wilson of Norfolk, the big brute in the amateur realm was matched to do his stuff against Kid Weldon who also boasts of Norfolk as his permanent address. This bout had just a little more pep than the rest and much slurging was on display to the delight of the wild-c eyed gathering that did not seem to mind paving fifty cents to see a two-for-a-nickle-fight. Wilson registered 176 pounds to Weldon's 168. The first round opened up tame like the opening of the fights that came on before, but, they very soon mixed it. Wilson began to stall and Weldon carried him the fight, which he took NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE AS ONE WRITER. HAS SAID:—JOY AND SORROW ARE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOURS K.N.F.SERVICE, N.Y. SAID DELANEY'S GLOVES DID NOT FULFILL FIGHTING CODE with a smile. Wilson was showered around the kindies, with undamaging punches. The second was like the first and the third was the culminating point. Fans had begun to clamor for action and hang —Wilson opened up like a hurricane and assumed the responsibility of furnishing that part of the entertainment. Weldon was unable to stand the gaff. He rocked, reeled and stumbled. Wilson jammed him against the ropes and knocked the day lights out of him. Weldon sank to the floor, but soon found his bearing, only in time to be etherized near the center of the ring. He could not gain the perpendicular eye the referee finished the doleful ten and out. The feature bout of the night was between Mickey, middleweight champion of some navy ship and Westmoreland Louie, of Portsmouth and the punkiest boxer that ever insulted a boxing glove. He could not hit hard enough to break a mosquito's back and giving him gloves was like giving sleeve supporters to an armless man. From all indications he did not have the slightest conception of what they tied these things on his fists for and Mickey showed him up before the bout could get underway. Mickey's class bewildered Louis and he asked the referee to stop the fight and they say he got paid for doing that stuff, yet people say a good job is hard to find. Go in for prize fighting fellows. EXT SAID DELANEY'S NOT FULFIL New York, N. Y., Jan. 22—Walk Miller, manager of Tiger Flowers, the Deacon-Serrapper, is expected to go before the New York State Boxing Commission to request an investigation of the knockout of Flowers recently at the hands of Jack Delaney, of Bridgeport. It is said that Miller charges that he suspected that Delaney's gloves did not fulfill the requirements of the fight code. January 21, was regular squawk day at the meeting of the commission and it was at that time Miller was expected to file his protest. Paddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, leading contender for the crown that adorns the head of Jack Dempsey has also announced his intention of entering a protest. He declared that he will request the commission that, in event Dempsey is persuaded to re-consider his announced retirement, the champion be forced to meet Wills before taking on Tom Gibbons. Roland Hayes Pleases Canadians (Br. Associated Negra Press) Toronto, Can, Jan. 22.—The press of this city has been a unit in praise of the work of Roland Hayes, who appeared in recital at Massey Hall this week. Critics argue that he possesses one of the most perfect lyric tenor voices among living artists and that his art is as great as his voice. They have also expressed a fine appreciation of the work performed by Mr. Hayes' accompanist, William Lawrence. One critic writes: "In his own sphere as a vocalist, Mr. Hayes is as perfect as an artist can be. He has a lyric tenor voice almost flawless beauty, the tone limpid and clear and filled with vitality. One cannot remember ever having heard another tenor whose soft notes combine color and transparency in such a remarkable manner. He sings without tricks and with direct sincerity, interpreting perfectly the mood of each song." Mr. Claud Rice left Wednesday morning for Palm Beach, Florida, where he will be for several weeks.

Dean Johnson's letter in part, "As to whether the contract for the football game between Lincoln and Howard next Thanksgiving Day is to stand, I would reply that to the best of my knowledge it will stand, since it is not our policy to repudiate contracts once made and considered valid."

GLOVES DID L FIGHTING CODE THE GEORGIA SMART SET AT PORTSMOUTH COLONIAL THEATRE A really first-class colored minstrel show, adorned with every conceivable modernity in the way of dressing and coupled with a lively high-class vaudeville entertainment which Georgia Smart Set Minstrels will offer to the patrons of the Colonial Theatre, Portsmouth for three days, starting Monday, January 26. Georgia Smart Set Minstrels is a high spirited frolic of syncopated song and dance, it is also a "plantation" and "creole" pastime, a musical comedy, and vaudeville revue, and gives a copious exhibition of the range of talents which find colored entertainers in their happiest manner. The entertainment planned and produced by Smart Set Minstrels is packed with original music, and popular vaudeville artists, consequently there is something exhilarating about the performance, something which grips and thrills and starts memories not hidden by the cleverness of the entertainers; but something novel. The Colonial has been entirely renovated and is under new management. COLONIAL 3 shows daily: 3, 7:45 and 9:15 P. M.

New York, Jan. 22—In spite of the costly K. O. Tiger Flowers received at the hands of Jack Delaney at Madison Square Garden, Tex Rickard, the veteran promoter has not lost faith in him and has declared his willingness to stage more fights involving the Georgia Deacon. There is a probability of a match being arranged between Flowers and Paul Berlenbach and possibly a return engagement with Delaney. Of course, being etherized and especially early in a bout hurts anybody who is on the receiving end. The Tiger earned $12,000 as his share of the $50,000 gate, but what is this amount. This will not fully compensate him for the abrupt reverse he suffered on account of being unable to pull his ANNOUNCEMENT The manless wedding of the Calvinite Quick Steps and the Ladies Usher Board of Jerusalem Baptist Church will be held January 26 instead of January 29.

The last of the fight with Delaney has caused Flowers to lose a number of other fights that were already scheduled. Promoters canceled these engagements, because they think the Georgian's drawing powers have been diminished. Signs To Fight Tiger Flowers signed a contract for a 12-round go with Paul Berlionbach, the slugging New Yorker who was also made to taste the sleep producer by Delaney. The fight is scheduled to get underway February 26, at Madison Square Garden. Flowers had been dated up with Johnny Wilson in a return bout on the same date, but this match was postponed by arrangement with the Boston promoters and probably will be held March 20. SEASIDERS CRUSH LIONS Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22—Despite the bad weather, 1300 people packed into Musical Fund Hall and saw Hampton Institute win a great victory over the Lincoln Lions at basketball by a 40 to 13 score. It was estimated that this was one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a game here.

He insisted that the spectators refrain from jeering the players or the officials. Both teams seemed to be in perfect physical condition and bubbling over with enthusiasm. Lincoln, however, was off in shooting. The teams played for about three minutes before any score was made. This was due to the wonderful guarding of both teams. Nothing could secure a score until Hargrove sank a field goal from mid court. This is the third game in which he has drawn first blood this season. Lambright followed with a foul-shot to put the score 3-0 in Hampton's favor. The game was now in full swing. Even ex-Captain Langston surprised the Lincoln five by ringing in a field goal. He also scored a free throw. Lincoln Uses New Play The Lincoln quint used something new in trying to get thru Hampton's five-man defense. It worked a few times. In Byrd, Lincoln has a flashy player who is fast and who still uses his football technique on the basketball court in cluding players. Once he broke through for a basket. Lincoln's Massie Woods and Day were well guarded and held almost scoreless. FROM THE WILLEY A. JO THE PRESS WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR.

Sixteen staged. Tex Richard, the granddaddy of promoters is showing blase "Lil Old New York" that most everybody still like mixed bouts and he is staging these affairs quite frequently and without a bowl at his spacious Madison Square Garden where so many hopes have been fulfilled and so many more blasted. Evidently the color line has been done away with in important bouts in the metropolis and all that counts is the merits of the contestants and not who or what they are—or even why. These mixed scraps staged recently have proved extremely popular, judging from the crowds that are packed in the house on the nights of the events. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,200 spectators have been taken care of and this number is no mere handful, furthermore it proves that the bulk of the followers of the game approve these fights, in which the principals are, by some means different in hue. And speaking about riots, there has not been the least outward indication that anyone is even thinking of such a thing. The crowds that witnessed the Wills-Firpo, Gilhous-Nortolk and Estridge-Berlbach encounters were just as orderly as orderly could. Richard deserves all the credit and if he continues his series of mixed bouts that are growing in popularity, he will eventually pave the way to something that will lead the way to a Dempsey-Wills scrap. When Rickard pulled off the light between Tom Gibbons and Kid Norfolk for the New York Christmas Fund, it was the first mixed bout held in Madison Square Garden in years. Since that light, other mixed melees have been staged.

The mess plainly showed that the contestants knew as much about the game as a bullfrog knows about Sunday and a lack of training was also in evidence. When an athlete fails to train in order that he may give the public the best that is in him, he is cheating and robbing. This is exactly what happened at the fight under the auspices of the American Legion. Every fight, save one fell very short of expectations. The scrap in reference was the one between Kid Wilson and James Weldon. This was the only fight that had any action at all and too much cannot be said about that. It will not take many more fights like that one to give the game a black gye here. Fights are rare things here and when one is staged, every detail should be gone into to make it a howling success.

This midget-like player from Kansas City won his way to the hearts of the Quaker City folks. Hargrove, a New York City boy, was second highest scorer with 11 points. He was slowed up by an injury received in the Shaw game. MeNichols was a close third with 10 points. He is also a New York City lad.

By Johnson THE LINEUP UNION HIGH LOSES TO NEWPORT NEWS "Y" Inability To Register Field Goal Montreal Undoing Of Hampton High School Shooters. By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Newport News, Va., Jan 16—In a rough and loosely played game here tonight, the Newport News Y. M. C. A. easily defeated the Union Street High School five of Hampton by a score of 25 to 9. At no time did the Union team seriously threaten the strong "Y" machine. The close guarding kept the sharpshooters of the Union team constantly under cover, with the result that only one field goal was chalked up against the local quint. The other seven points were garnered by way of free throws allowed on personal fouls. Y. M. C. A. Scores First Coleman drew first blood for the "Y" when he sank a free throw after about five minutes of play. From here the score slowly mounted to 9 for the "Y" and to 5 for Union Hi at half time. W. Robinson, the tall and rangy center of the Union five, scored his teams five points in this half single handed almost, for his one field goal and three free throws in this half were the only ones made for his team. Other members of his team failed to find the range at all. A last half rush brought a shower of points and by the time of the final whistle the "Y" five had increased its total to 25 points. At the same time Union High had added four free throws to its total. Brown Flashes Form Brown at forward for the "Y" was the best shot of the night, and by his accurate and oftimes brilliant shooting he earned high point honors with 7 points—one field goal and five free throws. Robinson of the Union quintet won third place honors with 6 points. Pinner, Cooke, and Coleman also did good work for the "Y," as did the substitutes, Diggs, Fields, and Owens were the other most outstanding Union hucketters. Y. M. C. A. plays Union University on January 23, at the "Y" gym at 8:00. Guide "Quality Printing" Always Satisfies "I'm Not Drunk, I'm Hungry."

All present enjoyed the animating sermon, and went from the service moved by the powerful appeal of the pastor to accept salvation not at some distant uncertain period of their lives, but at this present time. Standard Life Merged With Southern Insur. (Continued from Page 102) and guiding genius. Its early success had served as an inspiration for many of the enterprises started during the past decade. Beginning a dozen years ago, Mr. Perry with fifteen years of experience as an insurance salesman behind him had been able to sell the vision of an old line insurance company to a group of stockholders scattered in various sections of the country. $100,000 was deposited with the State of Georgia to meet the legal requirements, and Standard was launched. From its inception, business rolled in until ten years later officials reported 25,000 policyholders whose policies amounted to $25,000,000. five hundred agents, five hundred medical examiners, three hundred inspectors, home and branch office employees. Trained salesmen and executives were employed, big calibre men entered the insurance game, and Standard was pointed to as an inspiration, an example of Negro achievement. Service Company Formed An immense income, was developed, deposited for the most part in white banks. President Perry began to cast about for means to use this capital so that it might bring greater returns to the stockholders and be of greater benefit to the race. It was at this time that he began the series of projects which turned the spotlight upon his ability as an organizer. Forming the Citizens' Trust Company, a bank capitalized at $500,000, which acted as chief depository for Standard, then the Service Realty Company, which served as an outlet through which the funds might be put to work, he rapidly plunged into a chain of corporations organizing the Service Pharmacy Company, operating three drug stores, the Service Printing Company, the Service Engineering and Construction Company, the Service Foundation, the Service Farm Bureau, the National Fuel Corporation, the Pioneer Merchantile Company, and the Penny Savings Bank. His critics point to this rapid expansion as unsound and unwise and predicate the subsequent difficulties met upon this pyramiding of values and the trickling of Standard money through The Service Company into these various enterprises. Even so, they do not accuse Mr. Perry of dishonesty, but agree that he had a dream and a vision which had he been successful in carrying through would have stamped him as a miracle man. They assert that despite statements published in a New York magazine a year ago that he was worth $8,000,000 that actually he is a poor man and that he had not profited personally by his stupendous endeavors. Many claim he was endeavoring to build up a monument for the race and that lack of experienced help to run the various enterprises, a closing of credit in downtown banks and the frozen assets which formed many of the Service Company notes held by the Citizens' Trust Company are pointed to as contributory causes.

Text: Jno. 1:14; subject, "The Triumph of Truth. A brief introduction gripped the audience from the start. The speaker advanced the idea that creation was the result of a desire on the part of the Creator for self-expression, and the great truth (which finally triumphs) is that our God not only wished to express his glory in the creation but that in response to the urge of his great heart of love he crowned creation with a man and a woman to be the progenitors of a race to inhabit and rule over creation and gave them special, God-breathed, spiritual natures with the express purpose of 'dwelling with them and being their God and re- joicing in them as being his children. The fall of man disarranged the plan of God and divine love immediately engaged itself with a scheme of redemption that his purpose might obtain. To this end animal sacrifice and priestly activity tended. Judges, prophets and kings were also but preparatory institutions. In the fullness of time the Word became Flesh and dwelt among men and thus truth triumphed over the deceitfulness of the Devil and God came down to tabernacle on the earth. The problem of this age as the speaker saw it, is that the people of this age must so adjust their lives that individually they may come to know the joy and the inspiration of the indwelling presence of God in their everyday lives. This is the kingdom of heaven whose coming we so earnestly desire and so fervently pray for. This is that "far-off divine event" toward which creation has always moved. The speaker urged his hearers to help forward the kingdom by giving the King the uppermost place in their hearts. One person united with the church. The church has for its motto for this year, "Somebody Saved at Every Service." So far it has been able to live up to its motto. In addition to the regular auxiliaries of the Baptist Church the following were noted: The Pastor's Bible Class which meets Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9 o'clock with an attendance of 51; The Praying Band which holds cottage Player Meetings once or twice a week in the home of some unsaved person. Very often conversions result; The Girls' Club, which meets weekly and is in charge of the pastor's wife and has for its object the general welfare of the girls of the community; and last but not least, The Sunshine Band which goes into the homes of the aged and the shut-ins each Sunday afternoon to carry the gospel message of faith and cheer. made an investigation, it demanded that the Standard make its assets liquid and that the Service Company produce the cash for the loans it had absorbed. Part of the money had gone for the purchase of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company. This they were not permitted to hold, and it subsequently passed to the Southern Life Insurance Company, the same organization which now is merged with Standard Life. In the meantime, many of the stockholders in Standard Life had exchanged their stock for stock in CENTRALIZATION OF POWER IN FEDERAL GOV'T IS NEEDED "For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself." These were the words of the text used by Rev. Richard H. Bowling last Sunday night in a sermon on The Interdependence of Life. He declared that our reader means of communication and our analytical methods of approach to our problems bring us additional proof of these words almost daily. "We are finding out anew that society is actually interdependent. We read in the newspapers one week that the western farmer's wheat has advanced to two dollars a bushel. The next week the news is confirmed by the advance in flour to the eastern housewife. We begin bobbing our hair in America and in less than six months our American fad almost puts out of commission the hair-net industry in China. The increased profit of the Norfolk barber spells meaner living conditions and less to eat for the Chinese worker. Social Responsibility Social Responsibility "But the text is no more scientific observation. The Apostle is writing to fix a responsibility. And so today, modern society must not only admit its interdependence. It must seek to organize its life on the basis of its mutuality in spite of and across all lines of class, racial or national cleavage. But note how this would affect life in America. It would mean a centralization of power in the Federal Government looking to needed legislation. Child labor laws, compulsory education laws, and the provision of funds to make them equally effective in all parts of America are actually needed to make us really one nation. Only Federal control in the interest of social legislation can result thus. For example, the Federal Government spends in the sparsely-settled and relatively poor State of Nevada a little more than a dollar and sixteen cents for every dollar it collects in taxes, while in the populous and wealthy State of New York it spend just a little more than half a penny for every dollar. Unfair (?) Taxation "Let no one say that this is a reason for keeping power in the hands of the individual State and out of the hands of the Federal Government. This condition is not as unfair as it looks. It is not a question of the balancing of ledgers and matching dollars and cents. It is a question of making Americans, of recognizing every American as having a right to America's democracy of opportunity. Though not wealthy enough to provide schools and colleges and other means of helpfulness for themselves, dwellers in Nevada are nevertheless Americans. All admit the truth of Lincoln's words that the nation cannot exist half slave and half free. No more can the nation exist half educated and half illiterate, half strong and half weak by reason of child labor, lack of proper medical and prenatal care. What the gospel has been actually carrying out in individual missionary activity, the strong and enlightened vicariously offering help to the weak and needy—must be educated into our thinking and legislated into our practice throughout the nation and the world. "Not A Free Lance" NOT A FREE LANCE "The words of the text have more than social significance. They have spiritual import. A Christian is a man under limitations. You are no longer a free lance in things with moral implications. You are Christ's and as such responsible to him for the effect of your life on others in his kingdom. 'For none liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. Let no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.' the Service Company, so that the Service Company actually held a controlling majority in Standard stock. A hurried effort was made to liquidate Service holdings. Prodigious sacrifices were made, and in the end, 1251 shares of Standard stock, a majority, was put up with the Southeastern Trust of Atlanta as security for enough money to satisfy the insurance department of the State. Heavy commissions and subsequent loans ran this up to $400,000. Service was unable to raise the money. Therefore, the majority stockholders represented now by the Southeastern Trust voted the merger. Those who have studied the situation carefully insist that the stockholders who will get stock in the new company will have their investments protected. Of course, the policyholders are carefully protected. Full details of the manner in which the program will be worked out are expected to be detailed.

Twelve Had Been Condemned to Death New York, N. Y., Jan. 23.—The A. A. C. P., today announced receipt of a telegram from Scipio Jones, of Little Rock, stating that the last of the prisoners jailed in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919, had been released. This marks the end of a six year light brought to a successful conclusion by the N. A. A. C. P., in the course of which twelve colored farmers of Arkansas were saved from the death penalty and sixty-seven prisoners, who had been sentenced to life and long-term imprisonment have been freed. The famous "Arkansas Case" was undertaken by the N. A. A. P. in October, 1919, immediately upon receipt of news in New York that a riot was in progress While the riot was still going on Walter White, Assistant Secretary if the N. A. A. C. P., arrived on the scene and gathered facts showing the condition of peonage prevailing in Arkansas, out of which the trouble sprang. The N. A. C. P. published Mr. White's findings to the country, meeting the propaganda put forth by Arkansas whites about a plot by Neces to "massacre whites." Mr. White reported that Negroes were being hunted and 250 shot own like wild beasts, in the Arkansas cane brakes, because they had organized to employ a lawyer an endeavor to obtain settlement and statements of accounts from their landlords under the rare-cropping system. Twelve Sentence To Death In farcical and summary trials, ring which torture was employed, to make colored men testify against each other, twelve colored armers were sentenced to death and sixty-seven to life and long- arms in jail.

FIND JAR OF GOLD IN DEAD MAN'S CELLAR FIND JAR OF GOLD IN DEAD MAN'S CELLAR Man Who Had An Aversion To Banks Leaves $4,000 In Gold Hidden Away In Cellar Of Sister's Home. Brownsville, Pa., Jan. 23.—(A. V. P.)—Directed to the cellar of the home of his sister, Mrs. Gray, by a note left when he died by Oliver L. Weston, appraisers of his estate found a jar of gold. The money was hidden away beneath the floor of the cellar and was easily found by the searchers. In 15 and $10 pieces the gold totaled a little more than $4000. Many of the coins were more than fifty years old. It was found that Weston had an version to banks and had stored his surplus fund away. At the time of his death the man was 65 years old. In addition to the jar of gold and silver another jar of gold and silver was found in the Weston home. This amounted to $124.50. The personal property totaled $20,257.64. JOHN H. HARRIS Norfolk Journal and Guide ASPECTS AND TENDENCIES OF RACE PROBLEM 1912-24 Editor's Note—The American Sociological Society which includes most of the leading sociologist in the chief universities of the country, wrote its members some months ago asking what projects they wished to suggest for presentation at their annual meeting. Two hundred replied and out of the two hundred subjects offered ten were selected. One "The Aspects and Tendencies of The Race Problem" was offered by Prof. Monroe N. Work of the research department of Tuskegee Institute and Editor of the Neyro Year Book. It was among the ten selected and is reproduced below. In the limited space at my disposal, I can give only some of the more important results of the study of "Aspects and Tendencies of the Race Problem" in the past thirteen years, I present first what I call, for the want of a better term, some secondary aspects of the problem. There is (1) the economic progress of the group. In the past ten years, Negroes have entered industry in a large way. The 1920 census reports 332,249 Negroes engaged in skilled and semi-skilled work. The wealth of the group at present is around $2,000,000,000, which is one and one-half times more wealth than it had accumulated up to 1912. There is (2) the educational progress of the group. The total amount expended in 1912 for all phases of Negro education was $13,576,561; the amount expended this year for Negro education is $40,000,000. The past thirteen years have witnessed an ever increasing demand in all lines of work for the educated Negro. The improvement in education is reflected in the increase in the number of students in elementary, secondary, and higher courses. The FULL TRAINING EVERYWHERE IS URGED BY DAVIS Labor Secretary Expressed Hope That Ample Funds For Education May Soon Be Available. Washington, D. C., Jan. 22. Honorable James J. Davis, Secretary of the United States Department of Labor, in discussing some of the effects of Negro migration with Karl F. Phillips, Commissioner of Conciliation in the Secretary's office, expressed the sincere hope that ample funds for education and training, without exception as to race or locality, may soon be available in every state in the Union, in order that contentment and adequate preparedness may fully pervade the citizenship of all Americans, thus encouraging everyone to contribute a full share to the advancement of America, the greatest and fairest nation in the whole world. The Secretary of Labor said: "We do not live in this country as a white race or as a black race, but, rather, as full-fledged Americans, all under the same flag and the same government. Hence all must be prepared to carry the burdens of our country, that all may share fully in its joys and its progress. The Negro migration of the past eight years has taught us the lesson of the double cost of educational neglect. The migrants, to whom a large measure of training in the industrial and educational standards of America had not been previously available, though they rapidly adapted themselves to the new conditions of the industrial and community life to which they migrated, have themselves felt the effect of insufficient training; the sections to which they came have been severely taxed, not only in dollars and cents, but in the extra strain upon their welfare forces and educational institutions; and the sections from which the migrants departed have felt the (Continued on Page Eight) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925 (By Monroe N. Work, For Associated Negro Press) improvement is especially reflected in the increase in the number completing college courses. Up to 1912 about 5,000 Negroes completed college courses. In the period, 1912-1924 about 5,000 Negroes graduated from college. That is, in the past thirteen years as many Negroes graduated from college as in all the previous years. There is (3) the progress, which, in the past thirteen years, has been made in health improvement. The Negro now has a declining mortality rate, and an increasing life span. In 1912 the death rate per thousand was 22.9. In 1922, ten years later, the death rate was 15.7 per thousand; A decrease for the period of 31.5. A recent study of mortality among the 1,800,000 Negro policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company indicates that since 1912 there has been an increase of five years in the life expectancy of life for the Negro Metropolitan policy holders, male and female, of all ages from two years up, was; for males 41.32 years; for females, 41.30 years. In 1922 the expectancy of life was for males, 46.91 years; for females, 46.10 years. In 1910 the life span for the Negroes of the country as a whole was about 35 years. It is now about 40 years. That is, since 1912 the life span of the Negroes of the country has been increased five years. In 1912 the life span for the Negroes of the country as a whole was about 35 years. It is now about 40 years. That is, since 1912 the life span of the Negroes of the country has been increased five years. There is (4) the Negro in politics. The period under consideration witnessed an increased activity of the Negro in politics. Some striking features of this activity: 1. The tendency to develop independence in politics. By the Tower Man for A. N. P. Someone rises to exclaim: "If we can just locate some of that Prosperity outside of the newspapers, we'll be happy." The Aplate Division of the Supreme Court of New York State has declared that George W. Harris was entitled to be alderman, and may now sue for back salary.

Moton, eminent principal of Tuskegee Institute and President of the National Negro Business League, arose in Town Hall, New York, recently to declare that the South is making better headway with the problems of race adjustment, than the North in recent years. Wonder if the Doctor is another "cross word puzzle?" Heebie Jecbie," the new "sign of intelligence" magazine of Chicago, Percival Leroy Prattis, editor and Charles C.

The Chicago Defender has purchased the site adjoining its present publishing plant in Chicago, and will build this spring. The Defender already has a $250,000 plant. "We are crowded to the doors," says Phil Jones, General Manager. The racial printed word indoubtedly has run away with progress, and the game is young yet. The Honorable Charles Beecher Warren becomes Attorney General of the United States. Hailing from the State that gave birth to the Republican Party, General Warren is known to be a man of high character, fair and square on all human problems. He was fair in Japan, Mexico, and in the 1920 contest that made Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman. He will undoubtedly make an eminent Attorney General. The Honorable Perry W. Howard is continuing his official address at the Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. There are a number of business men in New York who have been coming upon the stage of action, the new developments of the new year of 1925. When they step on on the Stage of Action to do the "stunt." The G. P.-general public—will rise to exclaim: "When did they come from? Never head of them before." Fact is, the have all been in training, one war and another, sacrificing and peering for years, awaiting the day. "Watch." In the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea there is said to have been found a fish that spins silk, or thread similar to it. 2. There is an increasing number of Negroes voting the Democratic ticket. 3. Political parties are making efforts to get the Negro votes. In the presidential campaign which has just closed, special Negro campaign bureaus were maintained by the Republican, Democratic and Third Party National campaign committees. 4. There is an increase in the number of Negroes elected to office. In 1914 there were eight Negro members of City Councils. In 1921, these members numbered 21. There were in 1915, two Negro members of State Legislatures; in 1924 there were 11. It is also of importance to note that in 1915 I had a record of 14 cities with Negro policemen; in 1924 there are 70 cities which have Negro policemen. 5. A fifth feature of the Negro in politics is the entry and activity of Negro women. 6. A sixth feature is the gradual increase in the South of the number of Negroes qualified to vote. 7. A seventh feature is the increased efforts of Negroes to vote in and break down the "white primary" in the South. With the Negro dividing his vote, and an increasing number voting the Democratic ticket, the maintenance of the so-called white primary becomes a more difficult problem. Another of these secondary aspects is (5) the population shifts which have taken place in the past thirteen years. During this period there occurred the greatest migration of Negroes which has ever taken place in this country. In addition to the movement from the country to the cities and from the South to the North, 200,000 Negro soldiers were transported to Europe and back again. The net result of the migration is that there is now almost a mil- "raising the dickens" about Chicago, and several other cities giving the Big Town "cards and spades" on commercial progress, banks, hotels and the like. Now, there's hope for something doing in New York. Harlem has one branch bank in the racial section, with most of the business people banking there, and no Colored officials or clerks. Chicago has two racial banks, and with assets of nearly $1,000,000. One of the white banks has a Colored teller, who is cordially received by both races. That's Chicago. The United States Senate, as in the past, comes to the rescue of Howard University, restoring the $221,000 appropriation. That type of southern Congressmen, which has been thriving on race prejudice like vultures on a rotting carcass, will be swallowed up in their own swill after March 4th, and then human problems will be taken up on their real merit, "Thank God for a Garden." Roland Hayes and Marion Anderson are doing more to prove the lie of racial inferiority than a million Kluxers could stop in a dozen yeats. A lie is an awkward thing at best, but when it comes to be obvious, it makes the lie and the liar look more ridiculous than words can tell or artist can paint. All of this inferiority-complex stuff, the Nordic superiority bunk and supremacy hash are reaching such a state of degradation that white people themselves are coming out in self-defense. The time points to a number of new people, men and women, coming upon the stage of action in the new developments of the new year of 1925. When they step out on the Stage of Action to do their "stunt." The G. P.—general public—will rise to exclaim: "Where did they come from? Never heard of them before." Fact is, they have all been in training, one way and another, sacrificing and persevering for years, awaiting their day. "Watch." In the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea there is said to have been found a fish that spins silk, or thread similar to it. Looking On And Listening In --- lion more Negroes living in cities than there were thirteen years ago, and over half million more Negroes living in the North than there were in 1912. I pass now to the consideration of some primary aspects of the race problem. One of these is lynching. Beginning with 1912, there has been an increased publicity, in the press of the country as a whole with reference to lynching. There has been in recent years a striking growth of public opinion against lynching. In the period, 1912-1924, eight states passed laws designed to check lynching. A Federal bill against lynching is now pending in Congress. There has been in the past thirteen years a notable decrease in the number of lynchings. In the period, 1912-1924, there were 705 lynchings. This was 40 per cent less than the number of 1177 for the previous thirteen years, and 67 per cent less than the number 2137 for the thirteen years before that time. The second primary aspect of the problem is segregation. 1. The efforts to restrict by law the areas in which Negroes shall live began in 1911. From then to 1917 a number of cities in the border southern state passed segregation laws. 2. In 1917 the United States Supreme Court declared the segregation laws invalid. 3. Since 1917, two new devices have been evolved for the legalizing segregation: (a) By zoning ordinances. (b) By property owners contract. 4. The legality of these methods is now being tested in the courts. 5. In numerous instances bombing and other violent methods, have been used in attempting to intimidate and drive out Negroes. To be Continued OPPORTUNITY FOR RACE WILL SOLVE PROBLEM OPPORTUNITY FOR RACE WILL SOLVE PROBLEM --- Passions Engendered By World War Given As Blame For Much The Race Prejudice—Rabbi Wise. (Special to The Journal and Guide.) New York, N. Y., Jan. 23.—A organized effort to solve the Negro problem is under way in the leading cities of the country as a result of the symposium on "Better Race Relations," conducted at Town Hall a week ago today, Clarence H. Kelsey, chairman of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund and vice-president of the Hampton Institute, announced yesterday. The movement is based on two ideas, Mr. Kelsey said. One is to train selected Negro men and women to become leaders and teachers of their race. The other is to acquaint the country, by a campaign of education, with all phases of the problem and show that it really can be done by citing conditions in "the numerous communities in which whites and Negroes now live in harmony." Presents Grave Problem Mr. Kelsey refused to minimize the seriousness of the situation. He quoted the report of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations, that "the relation of whites and Negroes in the United States is our most grave and perplexing domestic problem." He cited a growing interest in the problem, however, as a sign that the public was eager to learn its real nature and so bring about a rational solution. At the Town Hall meeting last Sunday, Kelsey pointed out yesterday, the question was discussed thoroughly by several notable speakers. They were Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Dr. James E. Gregg and Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. "There is no way out of the problem except by a moral solution," Dr. Fosdick said. "Deportation is not the remedy. You cannot shove the Negro out of the U. Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials Newport News Citizens Organizing To Help HamptonandTuskegee Dr. Norman Lassiter and Other Professional and Business Men Pledge $1000 Towards Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund BY CHARLES H. WILLIAMS Hampton, Va., Jan. 22—After hearing the plans of the Hampton and Tuskegee alumni to raise $300,000 toward the $5,000,000 endowment which must be raised by December 31, 1925, in order to get the additional $2,000,000 promised by George Eastman, of Rochester, N. Y., Dr. Norman Lassiter, a public-spirited man on the peninsula, asked if the Newport News citizens would have an opportunity to help toward such a worthy movement for Negro education. On learning that he could share in the effort he called together in his office a number of successful and professional and business men and presented the proposition to them. There were nine men present who plaged $1000 toward the fund. They were: Dr. W. P. Dickinson, Dr. C. A. Eaton, Dr. E. E. Smith, J. H. Ridley, Col. M. N. Lewis, Col. R. T. Stewart, Lawyer, W. H. C. Brown, William Jordan, and Dr. Norman Lasstter. They also formed a special committee to work in the interest of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund among the Newport News citizens who have not been S., even if you want to. The Ku Klux Klan certainly is not the way out. The idea of citizens putting on nightshirts and solving a social problem is one of the most contemptible things in the history of the United States. There is no way out of this except on a moral basis, which brings us right up to the Christian solution: that you have to treat the Negroes like fellow human beings and consider them in terms of their possibilities. Can Set World Standard "I see no solution except along the lines being mapped out by Hampton and Tuskegee. They are taking the finest specimens of the Negro race and giving them a chance to come to their very best. It is only when we learn to respect one another at our best that we can come to a solution of the race problem. "The solution, therefore, is to have schools like Hampton and Tuskegee, that will have their eyes open for fine leadership of the Negro people. Give them their chance to be all they have in them to become, that they may lead their people on to all that God meant them to be." Rabbi Wise blamed passions engendered by the World War for much of the race prejudice. Dr Moton said that the way the problem was handled in America would set a standard by which the races of the entire world would adjust their relations. SUCCESS IS A STATE OF MIND SAYS EXPERT Joseph P. Day, Greatest Auctioneer Of His Time Tells In Detail The Secrets of Success New York, N. Y., Jan. 23.—(A. N. P.)—Everyone seeks success. Few be who have the secrets. Joseph P. Day, of this city, the greatest actioner of his time, a man who has sold more than $1,000,000,000 worth of real estate in his life time, tells the secrets of success. They are an inspiration to everyone, everywhere who reads them. Here is Mr. Day's story as given the Associated Negro Press: "Success is a state of mind. It is rarely the game for any two individuals. But regardless what success may be, is there for each and every individual. "Every man is born equal and every man is entitled to success; the great trouble *is* the average man will not go out and get what he is entitled to. Incidentally, that students at either Hampton or Tuskegee. They set as their objective the securing of $3000 in reliable pledges which will be presented as the Newport News contribution toward this fund. The officers of the committee are W. H. C. Brown, chairman; J. H. Ridley, secretary; Dr. Norman, Lassiter, treasurer. Newport News is the first city in Virginia where efforts have been made to interest the alumni of the two institutions and citizens in contribution to the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund. The interest and support given by the Negro citizens of Newport News is most significant and encouraging. The men who are leading the movement and are interesting the citizens to give to this fund have never enjoyed the great advantages of Hampton and Tuskegee. They are not obligated to the institutions to help, but they are doing so because they feel the movement for greater educational advantages for Negro youth is worth while and should have the encouragement and support of every thinking Negro citizen. is what makes him the average man. "There are certainly a number of simple rules of life, which in one follows them carefully, will contribute considerably towards success. Of these, I would suggest the following as being of prime importance: "First: Be honest in all things, in business and in personal matters. "Second: Work hard, physically and mentally. Make every task, no matter how great or how small, a personal test. "Third: Live cleanly and avoid illness. Remember that a healthy body is a great asset. Think wholesomely, for to the mind wholesome thoughts are what wholesome food is to the body. "Fourth: Take some recreation. Have a hobby, but do not let your recreation or your hobby interfere with your business, and don't make your recreation lopsided. The brain needs exercise and pleasure just as much as your body does. "Fifth: Use your imagination. The radio on which you are now listening in is the child of imagination. The man without an imagination can never succeed. "Sixth: Interest yourself in public affairs and do your part in both civic and charitable work. Charity is a great stimulus to both the heart and the head. "Seventh: Do not feel that you are over-educated. No matter what your education has been, don't stop studying. Read good literature. "Eighth: Never let success turn your head. Success is only relative. There is no human accomplishment that cannot be improved upon. "Ninth: Never stop smiling. The smile is a great maker of friends in lusiness. "Tenth: Never give up. The world is big but has no place for quitters. "By making every undertaking a test for yourself, you make of your work a game. You and your job are the friendly adversaries and you must constantly fight for the mastery." Harrellsville, N. C.—Miss L.

REID "Measles are raging from one end of the district to the other and the mortality is large," reports the Rev. William C. Terrill, from Johannesburg, Africa, to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, New York City. Mr. Terrill was formerly a resident of Chicago and graduated from Northwestern University. "The treatment given is almost the sure to cause death," he says. "When the little bodies are burning with fever they are plunged into a pot of cold water. Twigs of pithy trees are cut and the sap blown over the body and face of the patient; then, the twigs are placed in the pathway leading from the village. The passerby is supposed to take the disease along with him." Dr. Terrill says that filth and ignorance and superstition in this central African territory through which he passed is bringing on disease and much physical suffering. He found many cases of influenza and smallpox. When he spoke to some of the native leaders and suggested quarantine they laughed and replied: "You white folks are funny. We are not afraid of measles and smallpox like you are. You try to keep your folks from getting these diseases because you are afraid. But we are not afraid and we want our children to have these diseases. We expose them because it is soon over. If they die, they die." WILLIAMSTON Williamston, N.

Gastonia, N. C., Jan. 23.—(P. N. S.)—Pharisee Welchor, a well-known and hard-working farmer of the Landis section of Rowan county, who accidently formed an "acquaintance" with several strangers in Salisbury a few days ago was not treated by them in a manner befitting his first name, and not only that, he is wiser and is also power to the extent of $300 for having met these suave gentlemen of color, who at first showed great interest in him and pretended they wanted to help him. They told him that he should not wear out his life slaving at hard work, but should make his money work for him. He was told of all the great white millionaires who had gained their fortunes by making their money work. Then they finally resorted to the "old-game" the money-finding trick, which has recently been worked extensively in Danville Richmond, Winston-Salem and numerous other places throughout the Tide-Water section. Authorities believe this long string of fleecing unsuspecting Negroes is being done by the same gang and great care is being exercised by the officials to apprehend the tricksters. Washington, N. C.

Easy Way to Break Severest Cough Easy Way to Break Severest Cough No matter how long you have had a persistent, weakening cough—no matter how many remedies you have tried without success—you can usually get relief instantly, and often relieve the entire cough condition in 24 hours, by a very simple method. The method is based on a remarkable prescription known as the "breathe test," which uses a teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 29 seconds before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription has a double action, the first causes the cough, the second, it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the direct cause of the coughing. The prompt response with which the whole cough condition disappears is often simply amazing. There is nothing better for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, bronchialasthma, hoarseness, and almost every other symptom, in an economical too, as the door is only one teaspoonful.

S.)—Revocation of a license recently granted for the establishment of a Negro cemetery near the Atlanta Child's Home in Ornwood was asked of the Fulton county commissioners in resolutions adopted Monday afternoon by the Atlanta planning commission at its first session of 1925. More than seventy-five citizens living in the vicinity of the site of the proposed cemetery protested. Since it is not within the city limits, neither the planning commission nor city council has any power to act, further than to request the county commissioners to revoke the license. The commissioners told the delegation they would take the matter under advisement and let their decision be known later.

Former Fugitive Leaves Big Estate Middleton, Conn., Jan. 23.—Thos. E. Smith, an aged man born a slave in Virginia, who escaped to the Union lines and joined the Federal forces in the Civil War, died here Monday, the owner of a four-story brick block on Main street. His estate will total about $50,000. Mr. Smith opened a small antique and second-hand shop. He developed the business, became well to do and won the respect of the community. He was an active Prohibition worker and has been nominated for office on the State ticket. He was also an active worker in the Salvation Army, and attended the jubilee celebration of that organization in England several years ago serving as a delegate from this country. CAMILLUS D. RICKS RICKS, THE CLEANER RETURNS FROM TRIP RICKS, THE CLEANER RETURNS FROM TRIP Camillus D. Ricks Spends Three Weeks In North Studying New Methods For Improving His Work. Camillus D. Ricks, proprietor of the cleaning and dyeing establishment trading as Rick's, the Cleaner, 368 E. Brambleton avenue, one door from Bank street, Norfolk, Va., has just returned from a three weeks' business trip from New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N. J. He has been in the cleaning business fourteen years. Opened February 17, 1910, after being in business six years. In 1916 he received literature from the Cleaners and Dyers Association of Chicago, Ill, and began to read about large plants East and West. An idea came to him and he began to think. After taking this trip and seeing such an improvement, he wishes to announce to his many friends and patrons that he has just begun to think. He made a special engagement with Master Krugar of the LaVonde Cleaning and Dyeing Co., of New York, where he took special instructions three hours a day for 6 days on all kinds of silk and delicate garments which will be a great help in his business. He also visited the Hub Cleaners, Manhattan Cleaners and Dyers, National Cleaners, of New York; The Endicott Cleaners, of Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. Chester Williams, of Atlantic City, formerly of Norfolk, Va., has a small plant that is considered very good by the trade. In Philadelphia he had a card of introduction to Mr. N. M. Bell, manager of the West Park Cleaning and Dyeing Co., one of the largest wholesale plants in the city. It has twelve departments, capacity 1500 suits a day, has five cleaning machines, largest cleans 100 suits at a time, six machines for dyeing and eleven delivery automobiles. While in New York he purchased two pieces of machinery which will improve his business. The people have been taught by experience to wear good quality clothes in order to maintain their good appearance—You will have to consider some good cleaner that has his plant equipped to handle all class of work.

WHITE BIRTHS OUT OF WEDLOCK EXCEED NEGRO Claim of Dr. McDaniel, Richmond Minister, In Debate On Morals of Modern Youth Richmond, Va., Jan. 17. At the first open forum of the Richmond Education Association, fifteen hundred people crowded the John Marshall High School auditorium to hear assistant district attorney, Colton B. Jones, teamed with Miss Anne Gordon of Westhampton College, defend the morals of the youth of today against the older generation as championed by Dr. George W. McDaniel pastor of the George W. McBurney, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Although there were no judges to announce a decision, the honors of the evening went to the defenders of the younger generation. Mr. Jones went back to the older times and showed how vile and vicious were the morals of some of the foremost characters of their day. He was ably supported by Miss Gordon, who defended the dress and costume of the youth of today. Dr. Daniel in a scathing denunciation of the looseness of the present day morals told of the way the young people were found scantily clad when a dance hall was raided, and how the automobile has given their opportunity for evil. One of the most significant portions of his address was the following: The rate of illigitimate births among Negroes in Virginia is decreasing while the rate among whites is increasing, he said; Divorces are increasing, another sign of moral decline. And the birth-rate is declining. The most "shocking and startling" thing which has happened since Byrd founded Richmond, he said, was the finding of four unborn infants in a sewer in Fairmount. There were between four and five hundred Negro soldiers who were engaged in the battle of New Orleans. Among the twenty-three women arrested in 1924 for murder, two of them were colored. Both were convicted of first degree murder. The first ballot ever cast by a woman was that of Mrs. Lucy Tapley, a colored woman. In the olden days folks used to say, "I've a misery in my back!"

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. The Colored United Charities of Norfolk deserves the support it receives by the good it was able to do during the holidays. To make others happy, to provide for those who are needy, is among the highest and best work the fortunate and public spirited can engage in. The Senate has voted to sustain the President's veto of the postal worker's increase compensation bill, and there is gloom among the faithful postal workers. It is the business of Congress now to provide the revenue and authorize the increase. The best sentiment of the country is in favor of its so doing. Education is on the increase in the United States, we are told, there being some 40,000,000 young people in all of the schools. This should be very gratifying. It is claimed on the other hand, however, that crime is on the increase and that we are the most criminal of Nations. That is not encouraging at all, but perhaps it will grow better. Building school houses in the rural districts of the South, which Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has done so much to promote, has been steadily on the increase. During last year 560 such schools were built in Southern States for Negro pupils at a cost of $2,246,000, Mr. Rosenwald covering 20 per cent of the cost. The good accomplished in this way cannot be estimated Miss Julia Alexander, only woman member of the North Carolina general assembly signalized her legislative debut by the introduction of a bill appropriating $25,000 to enable the State to take over an industrial school for delinquent colored girls, there being no such state-maintained institution. Woman's entry in politics has in many instances stimulated and strengthened the social forces at work for the amelioration of human problems. Those who read in certain race papers some weeks ago of the christening and crowning of the new order of political leadership embracing Messrs. Mathews, Vann, Mitchell, and others, are now wondering what this impressive array of stalwart defenders was doing while the nomination of Isaac M. Meekins as federal district judge was awaiting confirmation by the Senate. If any of the new leaders offered any opposition to making a federal judge of this man who openly proclaims his opposition to and defiance of the constitutional amendments which gave the race civil status and political rights, it is not of record, or, it was carefully deleted by their industrious press agents in the interest of their own aspirations to political preferment. Success and Satiety Booth Tarkington, a leading American novelist, says he is sick of work, disgusted with writing novels. Writing, he says, is plain hard work and he regards it as some people do smallpox. If it were not for the need of money he would not write another line. We had always regarded Tarkington as one of Fate's favorites. Born well, educated at a great university, financially placed so that he could do the work he liked, he was luckier that most men. He never had to shatter his nerves all day making a living and then come home to write. Now, after twenty-five years of success, he says he is disgusted. Of course he is only expressing a mood. He has just done a year's work in two months and that is enough to make a man disgusted with every thing for a while. We hear the same thing from men in every business and profession. Overwork brings depletion; success brings satiety; satiety brings disgust. It is human nature to kick against one's profession. Editorial Page of The South and its Child Labor A New England man who was building a mill in the South was asked what he thought was child labor. He said, "It is a nasty business, but what can we do? The South is upon it because it is cheap labor and enables the Southern mills to undersell the mills in the North where adult labor is needed." So that is it! Often we have worried why the greatest opposition to the Child Labor Amendment came from the South, and why it was deemed necessary to take children develop the mines and run the factories. In the New Englander's answer lies the whole economic history of the South. The South has never depended on the business men and enterprise of its men but always on the cheapness of its labor. It began with slavery, the cheapest labor ever, because it cost nothing. After the slaves were freed the South tried peonage, which made the cost of labor next to nothing. The South resists Negro migration largely because it means a loss of cheap labor, the South knows that no other labor will work as cheaply or as submissive to the Negroes. For the same reason the South upholds the system of child labor, the moment the South is made to pay labor fairly it will lose its advantage in competition with Northern mills. Forced to compete on its merits, the South will no longer very long. Is such prosperity as the South enjoys really worth while? It is a kind sort of prosperity that depends first upon human slavery, then upon peonage and teaching, and now upon keeping the children out of school to squeeze dollars out of the thing little bodies.

Enforce the Big Ones Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation, comes forward every January with a bit of advice for the nation. This year he says that the nation great need is law enforcement. He believes that the crime wave is directly due to the well-to-do citizens who violate the prohibition law and others like it, thus encouraging the rest of the population to lawbreaking. He is right as far as he goes, and he would go much further and still be right in the law, in this country, is treated as a like; and why? Because in the first place there are too many laws. Recently the number of laws in operation in the United States was estimated at 1,250,000. No one can know all those laws, to say not all of obeying them. Such a multitude of laws make law ridiculous. Secondly, the few outstanding laws which everybody knows are not enforceable than's acquittal or conviction too often depends on the amount of money he can spend in his defense. How many rich men have been put to death for murder in this country, even when they have openly confessed their crime in court? How many women, the male murderers go to insane asylum from which they soon escape and the female murderers receive offers to go into vaucle. The big thieves go free and only the little thieves crowd the jails. Thirdly, the Constitution itself is open violated by certain states. The Southern doctrine of states rights is pushed to an extreme regardless of the supreme law of the land. President Butler of Columbia University seems to think the Fifteenth Amendment was a mistake because the South was not obey it. It does not occur to him that the great mistake lies in the South's unusual to obey it. That refusal is at the bottom of many crimes. Thus when the great, fundamental laws are defied with unpunishment, how can we expect the little ones to be obeyed? Perhaps if we enforce the big ones the little ones would take care themselves.

Old Men Rule The World A dinner was given at the Waldorf-Ambria this week in honor of George F. Baker the silent man of Wall Street." Mr. Baker America's leading banker; he is said to be north $500,000,000 and he is eighty-four years old. To us the most significant this day the dinner was Mr. Baker's age. Americans are fond of saying that this is a your man's country and a young man's century one of their favorite proverbs is: "You will be served." They laugh at Europe's country governed by greybeards. Such may seem progressive but it is behind times. One hundred years ago the eag A dinner was given at the Waldorf-Astoria this week in honor of George F. Baker, "the silent man of Wall Street." Mr. Baker is America's leading banker; he is said to be worth $500,000,000 and he is eighty-four years old. To us the most significant thing at the dinner was Mr. Baker's age. Americans are fond of saying that this is a young man's country and a young man's century. One of their favorite proverbs is: "Youth will be served." They laugh at Europe as a country governed by greybeards. Such talk may seem progressive but it is behind the times. One hundred years ago the eager praisers of youth would have right. Napoleon was only twenty-seven at Marengo and became emperor at thirty-four. The great leaders of the French Revolution had a habit of dying at thirty-three or thereabouts; the younger Pitt became Prime Minister at twenty-seven, Wolf was thirty-two at Quebec and Nelson won great victories before he was forty. Alexander Hamilton was just beyond thirty when he put the United States on its feet financially. Norfolk Journal and Guide Going far back into antiquity we find that Alexander the Great lived only thirty-two years. The Saviour was crucified at thirty-three. Most of the genius in the art a century ago was found in men under thirty. WHAT THEY THE JOURN That is not true of this century. Today the masters of the world are old men, in America and everywhere else. Marshals Foch, Petain and Joffre, the three greatest generals of the late war, are Frenchmen seventy years old or more, and Clemeneaeau, the statesman; is eighty-seven and still a terrible duellist. America had no young generals of distinction, and in England the only man with vision enough to foresee the great war was Field Marshal Roberts, aged ninety. In this young country the great business men, inventors, and educators are old men. Baker is eighty-five, Edison is nearing eighty, Eliot of Harvard is ninety. This is only natural. The world is bigger and more complex than it used to be and more time is required to master it. Mere youth and enthusiasm are no longer sufficient to make genius effective; experience is indispensible. As J. P. Morgan said at the Baker dinner, there are no safe short cuts in banking. In fact, there are no safe short cuts in anything. Birth Control and World Mastery Many arguments have been advanced for and against birth control, and now an Englishwoman, a lawyer, has brought forward a new one. She is Mrs. Helena Normanton, the first woman ever admitted to an English bar. Arriving in America last week she was interviewed by the reporters and gave her views on a number of things. She is opposed to birth control because she thinks it would mean the dying out of the white races and the dominance of the world by the dark-skinned human beings. This is a new count against birth control but there may be something in it. Of course the lady assumes that birth control would be practiced exclusively by the white race. In that we do not agree with her; the other races, especially our own, are only to quick to adopt the white man's habits and vices. As yet, however, birth control has been practiced chiefly by the white race, especially the Nordics. The Latins and Jews do not believe in it; the Anglo-Saxon almost make it a religion. The birth rate in the fashionable residential districts of our large cities is very low. The theory is that the few children there are the better they will be both in natural qualities and in opportunities for nurture and education. But Nature has a way of slapping social theories in the face. The "fewer and better theory" is refuted by the law of erages—the more children there are, the more chance there is of having a great one. No couple, however sophisticated, can predict the natural ability of a child limiting the number of his brothers and sisters. He may have a better chance to get an expensive education, but how much care education do without natural ability. Education is only a gun barrel; natural ability is the bullet. Many of the world's great men have come from large families. Napoleon's sisters and brothers were numerous. Benjamin Franklin was a seventh child. Caruso was the seventeenth of nineteen children. A look at genealogical statistics will reveal many more. How many of the great men of city have come from the residential section where birth control is practiced? Few none. Most of them have come from place like the New York East Side, where families try to see who can have the most children. Nature seems to have the idea that practice makes perfect. Birth control has good points, but they are not the ones generally advanced for it. If the Nordic rains world-mastery because its women are too lazy, cowardly or selfish to have children, it deserves to lose it. Many arguments have been advanced for and against birth control, and now an Englishwoman, a lawyer, has brought forward a new one. She is Mrs. Helena Normanton, the first woman ever admitted to an English bar. Arriving in America last week she was interviewed by the reporters and gave her views on a number of things.

As yet, however, birth control has been practiced chiefly by the white race, especially the Nordics. The Latins and Jews do not believe in it; the Anglo-Saxon almost makes it a religion. The birth rate in the fashionable residential districts of our large cities is very low. The theory is that the fewer children there are the better they will be, both in natural qualities and in opportunities for nurture and education. But Nature has a way of slapping social theories in the face. The "fewer and better theory" is refuted by the law of averages—the more children there are, the more chance there is of having a great one. No couple, however sophisticated, can predetermine the natural ability of a child by limiting the number of his brothers and sisters. He may have a better chance to get an expensive education, but how much can education do without natural ability. Education is only a gun barrel; natural ability is the bullet. Many of the world's great men have come from large families. Napoleon's sisters and brothers were numerous. Benjamin Franklin was a seventh child. Caruso was the seventeenth of nineteen children. A look at genealogical statistics will reveal many more. How many of the great men of our city have come from the residential sections where birth control is practiced? Few or none. Most of them have come from places like the New York East Side, where families try to see who can have the most children. Nature seems to have the idea that practice makes perfect. Birth control has its good points, but they are not the ones generally advanced for it. If the Nordic race loses world-mastery because its women are too lazy, cowardly or selfish to have children, it deserves to lose it. Spirit of the Press From the New Age Dispatch.

We like your paper. It gives satisfaction in every respect. BENJ. F. HESTER Raleigh, N. C. Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is the most widely read race paper in this section. We enjoy its general news and make-up and hope for it continued success. From the Southwestern Christian Adverse: Over six million persons are employed in producing, manufacturing, and distributing the world's supply of cotton from the raw staple to the the finished product. Ten billion dollars of factory equipment and as many billion dollars of land values are required to turn out this product amounting to $25,000,000,000 commercially. America, or the United States, has steadily led the world in cotton production, furnishing for 1922-23, 9,964,000 bales, or more than one-half of the total supply. This lead in production, which gives the United States dominance in the world's cotton market, is seriously threatened, according to latest reports of the United States Chamber of Commerce. That bureau reports a steady decline in the production of cotton by the United States, and a consequent rise in the price of the staple. These fluctuations have reflected themselves in increased effort on part of foreign governments to grow their own cotton supplies. Also there has been a slowing down in demand for our finished products. To counteract this threatened loss of dominance of the world's cotton situation, the Bureau of Agriculture calls attention to the causes underlying shortage in production and suggests methods of relief. Chief among those causes are adverse weather conditions, the boll-weevil, poor farming, and shortage of labor. During recent years weather conditions have been notably disastrous to large yields of cotton. And the estimated loss to this industry from the boll-weevil plague is $200,000,000 annually. The loss of labor from that section of the country where cotton is king is undoubtedly a primary cause for slump in production. For the years that cotton has been the South's chief staple, the main factor in its production has been Negro labor. Gradually this labor has been slipping away from the South. For the thirty-year period from 1850 to 1880 Negro population in the South increased 77.6 per cent, while it increased 115.5 per cent in the North. The period from 1880 to 1910 saw an increase of only 47.0 per cent in Negro population in the South and 67.1 per cent elsewhere. In the ten-year period from 1910 to 1920, there was in the South an increase of only 2.0 per cent in the Negro population, while that population increased in the North 47.3 per cent. Prominent as a factor in this decrease of percentage in Negro population in the South is, of course, the migratory movement of the group caused by the South's attitude of repression and violence toward the Negro. The old slavery psychology, persisting through these latter decades, is seeing its logical consequences in the reaction of the Negro against his oppressors. From 1889 to 1920, while the Negro was heaping up the fortunes of the white South tq mountain heights, this same white South was lynching more than 3,300 Negroes and demor- of ourselves by all the fuss over what is a natural sequence to racial aggressiveness.

If the South's labor has left, and is leaving, it is because the policy of the South, the mind of the South, the racial arrogance and brutality of the South, drunk with power it wrested by foul means, has driven that labor and continues to drive it away. King Cotton's dusky warriors have been driven across the Bridge of Sighs to such wholesale executions that others left behind have resolved to flee the realm of the king, to escape for sweet life. Alas, the South's inhumanity has largely depleted her ranks of labor. Now comes the Department of Agriculture with the suggestion that one of the remedies for maintaining the lead of the United States in the world's cotton industry is to stop the wholesale Negro migration from the South. But it is an interesting, far-reaching question: By whom and how is the migration of Negroes from the South to be stopped? Will the Federal Government itself undertake such a hold step? If so, by what method of approach? By intimidation, and force of arms, or of law? On what grounds? The Negro is an American citizen and cannot be isolated and legislated against as a class, nor can the powers of the Federal government be prostituted to the levels and base purposes of foreing one group of its citizens into subservience to another group. Moreover, should the Federal Government in a conciliatory and constructive way approach this suggested task, the Negro would demand that adequate Federal guarantees be given him of ample protection to him and his in their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, should they agree to remain in the South. Even these guarantees should have to be based on the Negro's relation to the Government as a man and citizen, and not as a class of lobsters. Should the South itself undertake to restrain migration of Negroes, it would be hazardous task, should she approach it with the spirit and methods which she tried in the initial stages of the migration and which failed so miserably. The most futile agencies for the South to bring to play upon the Negro to influence his conduct and attitudes are programs and policies and institutions and weapons calculated to inspire fear in the breast of the Negro. Under free skies these cannot avail. The Negro is not nearly so flexible as he once was. He can best be dealt with and influenced for productive activity in the same ethical way as all other people require. Millions of Negroes prefer to live in the South. To this end they are accessible for conference and program of action. The South can, may have ample black labor cohorts. But the condition on which this will be possible will be that this section treat the Negro as a man, a fellow citizen. He will labor here, but he will not consent to be dealt with and conceived on bloc as the South's laboring class. He will labor here as a free American citizen, electing to do so because he finds here the normal rewards of honest toil and civic production while he labors. He will require all of the safeguards and emolument accustomed to be given laborers in these days of improved and improving labor conditions. His labor must be dignified by the conviction that he is not related QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY By GEORGE WELLS PARKER (Copyright 1924 by A. N. P.) WHATNOT COLUMN BY ROBERT P.

Minneapolis, Minn. A. Marshall Bernadotte, who founded the present Swedish dynasty, had a Moorish mother, while Gustavus IV, the last sovereign but one of the great Vasa dynasty in Sweden, was called "The Moor," because of his very dark complexion. When he was born his grandmother, the old dowager Queen Louise of Sweden, sister of Frederick the Great of Prussia, openly proclaimed that he was the son of Baron Munck von Fulkila and her daughter, the young Danish queen. The Baron was of Moorish descent on his maternal side. The present Queen of Sweden and the reigning grand duke of Baden are great grand children of Gustavus IV., the Moor, and the now reigning king of Sweden's uncle, Prince Oscar, re- 155. What is inscribed on the tomb of David Livingstone,the great explorer? A. David Livingstone, the pioneer missionary and great explorer, who died in Africa in 1873 was thoroughly acquainted with the slave trade in all its horrors, and he was an ardent abolitionist. Today all that is mortal of him lies in the hallowed Westminster with Britian's glorious dead, and inscribed upon his tomb are these; his last words, "All I can add, in my solitude is: May Heaven's rich blessings come down on every one—American, English or Turk—who will help to heal this open sore of the world, the slave trade." 156. Who was Francis Burns? A. In 1858, Francis Burns the first Negro Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was elected and ordained bishop for Africa. He was born in Albany, New York in 1809, converted at 15, began to preach at 17, and previous to his election as bishop had spent 25 years in Africa as a missionary. By that manly bearing and exalted Christian character which ever distinguished him, he overcame many of the prejudices of his day and became the first Negro teacher of annixed school in his native state. 157. Who invented ice cream? A. There are 110,000 soda fountains in the United States, and they dispense 5,000,000,000 drinks and dishes each year. The soda fountain is only 50 years old, and all descend from the original one in Philadelphia which resulted from the accidental invention of ice cream by a Negro cook by the name of Sam Jackson.

If the Federal Government, or the South, or both together, are jealous of the dominance of the nation in the world's cotton industry, and will reflect on how utterly impossible this is without Negro labor, the best adapted for this purpose, they may be assured that the Negro is ready to make his valued contribution to this end. He asks only that he be approached as a rational being, whose contribution to the social order and progress is indispensable, and on that basis related to the social tasks of the modern day, on the basis of a selective division of labor rather than as the enforced and coerced tool of his neighbors.

Dr. L. H. B. Louisville, Ky. A. No. The Edwin Smith papyrus now in possession of the York Historical Society protects the Egyptians to have had a very good knowledge of anatomy and practice. This papyrus deals largely with osteology and the setting of fractures. It is the proves however, that the knowledge of the circulation of the blood was also well known to the Egyptians. Other papyrus have mentioned treatment of many diseases, especially diseases of the stomach and eyes. COLUMN P. EDWARDS N. P.)
