W. Pierce, M. D., Attacks Logic and Scientific Value of the Virginian's Pamphlet. Dr. J. W. Pierce, of Suffolk, after reading a copy of the address of Dr. W. A. Pleeker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics, delivered before the American Public Health Association in October 1924 on "Virginia's Attempt to Adjust the Color Problem," wrote the registrar a highly interesting letter in which he forcefully takes issue with him on statements set forth in the address. The Suffolk doctor informed the state official that he (Dr. Pierce) has been compelled to conclude that the whole arrangement of his (Dr. Plecker's) paper was "to belittle and disparage a race whose right to claim the possibilities of culture, refinement and initiative has been won." Dr. Pierce also refutes Dr. Plecker's assertion that his statements were based on scientific proof. Excerpts from the address delivered in Detroit were published in last week's issue of the Journal and Guide. Dr. Pierce in his letter questioning the logic and the scientific value of the whole paper, written under date of February 10, Birthday Of Frederick Douglass Is Observed My dear Dr. Plecker: I have in my possession a copy of your address delivered before the American Public Health Association at Detroit in October 1924. Viz: "Virginia's Attempt to Adjust the Color Problem." I have read carefully your paper, and have striven, during the perusal of your article, to adjust myself to your process of reasoning in your effort to verify the necessity of the law of "racial purity." I am compelled to conclude that the whole arrangement of your paper was to belittle and disparage a race whose right to claim the possibilities of culture, refinement and initiative have been, long ago, proved beyond any rational question. You further attempt to prove your position by establishing scientific Sunday night at St. John's A. M. E. Church the Sons of Norfolk Fraternal, Beneficial and Social Association and the Phyllis Wheatley Circle the ladies auxiliary of the association, inaugurated annual memorial observances of the birth of Frederick Douglass with a fitting program. Following organ voluntary, corporation and prayer, the master of ceremonies for the occasion, Mr. W. E. Carter, was introduced by Mr. John Smith. Interesting remarks on the life of the great patriot were delivered by Prof. C. J. Reynolds, who told of having enjoyed the personal acquaintance of Douglass. The Battle Hymn of the Republic was led by Mrs. Annie Harper Davis and Mr. Charles Joynes, followed with a solo. A poem was recited by Mrs. A. M. Ward. Attorney W. H. Land introduced the speaker of the day on request of the master of ceremonies, who stated that he felt his inability to do justice to the occasion. Atty. Land prefaced his talk with brief remarks on the life of the man whose works the event meant to commemorate. He too told of his first and subsequent meeting with Douglass and extolled the character of the man with striking eloquence. Mr. Land paid high tribute to Atty. D. H. Edwards in his introduction. Lawyer Edwards vividly relates the life of Douglass from his birth to his death, emphasizing those incidents and traits which have endeared his memory to 12 million of his race. The speech, though delivered with pleasing eloquence was marked for its striking revelation of Douglass as he was. data in the premise. You said your statement or statements were not an opinion based on sentiment or prejudice, but on scientific fact. I cannot accept any other than the former basis. The atmosphere of prejudice runs through the whole argument as it appears to me. "Note some of your statements: (1) 'It is equally obvious that these culturally destructive characters are hereditary, carried in the germ plasm, and hence cannot be influenced by environmental factors such as improved economic social and educational opportunities.' "This statement is without scientific proof in fact.

The church was well filled with men, women and children. The meeting was opened with the singing of "My Country 'Tis of Thee"; prayer by the Rev. P. D. White; opening remarks by the president of the City Federation, Miss Wanser Bagnall; selection by the choir of the church, Mrs. Mandonia Wright Jackson at the organ; "The Personal Life of Douglass," was ably brought out by Miss Berrie Whitehurst; solo, Miss Helen Lawrence, which captivated the audience; "Douglass as a Statesman," was discussed by Mrs. P. B. Young; Poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar on "Douglass"; by Miss Julia Dodson, solo by Miss Pearl Smith, of Second Calvary choir, announcements by Rev. C. P. Madison; "The Pilgrimage to the Home of Douglass"; by Miss Julia Dodson, solo by Miss Pearl Smith, of Second Calvary choir, announcements by Rev. C. P. Madison; "The Pilgrimage to the Home of Douglass"; was vividly portrayed by Mrs. L. E. Titus, who was present when the home was dedicated in 1923. Mrs. Titus told of the first meeting held in honor of Douglass by the Needle and Thimble Club and felt that they were the pioneers in the city to do him honor. The Y. W. C. A. Girl Reserves, under the direction of Miss Bessie Butler, Girl's work secretary, beautifully rendered, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Miss Bagnall explained the work of the Federation and urged all clubs doing uplift work to affiliate with the Federation. A collection was lifted by Rev. D. F. White and Mrs. Lila Reed, treasurer, amounting to $26.00. This money will go to the national fund for the upkeep of the Douglass Home at Anacostia. The meeting on a whole was inspirational and enjoyable. The woman all over the country celebrated Douglass Day last Sunday. Lizzie Lamb Tells Police Sho Stabbed Raymond Johnson Following His Attempt To Strike Her With a Bottle. INDIFFERENCE TO HER LOVE PROMPTS CRIME City detectives apprehended Mrs. Lizzie Lamb, a young woman of 24 years, married and the mother of one child, on Princess Anne road Thursday morning at 4 o'clock and lodged her in jail on a charge of murder in the first degree for slaying her swetheart, Raymond Johnson, a lad of 19 years, and unmarried, early Wednesday night. Somewhere the woman had hidden or wandered since her tragic deed. Young Johnson was the son of Mr. Robert Johnson, 250 Kent street, and lived across the street from that address with a married sister. Mrs. Lamb resided with an aunt, Mrs. Ely, on May avenue, having been for some time separated from her husband. Jealousy Cause of Tragedy Love running unrestrained to murderous jealousy is said to have prompted the killing. Raymond had been keeping company with the young woman for some time, it is stated, but of late had grown cold and indifferent towards her. Wednesday night, it is alleged, she told the folks at her home she was going for a walk. In company with Miss Mittec Wright, a friend, she went to Johnson's home. To see him, she is said to have broken open the door of his room, where she found him in company with another girl called Celestia. Johnson had just returned from work at the tobacco factory, where the Lamb woman also worked, and was in the act of straightening up his room, it is claimed, while Celestia was standing before the dresser, when Lizzie entered. Her entrance into the room was followed by angry words between herself and Johnson, and a fatal stab in his neck was the culmination of their differences. Dies Few Minutes Later The mortally wounded youth ran downstairs with a stream of blood gushing from the cut in his jugular vein. He hastened to a drug store on Monticello avenue, dying a few minutes later. When taken in custody Thursday morning the woman is said to have admitted to the police that she snatched a small knife from the dresser in Johnson's room and stabbed him once when he attempted to strike her with a bottle. Sunday at Queen Street Baptist Church an overflowing crowd packed the church to hear Rev. P. W. Williams, the pastor, say the last words over the remains of the slain youth. The minister used the occasion to admonish young men and women of the wages of sin. YOUNG MEN FORM NEW TRIFT CLUB Another organization having for its object the encouraging of thrift has been formulated by a group of local young men. It is known as the Paramount Thrift Club, and has Mr. James V. Moorman for its first president. In his initial address before the club Monday night the president delivered these inspiring remarks to the members: "Gentlemen, since you are men who love liberty and favor human progress, you have made one of the formidable steps towards financial progress in organizing this thrift club; but co-workers, I wish to state that we must be self reliant for self-reliance is one of our greatest assets; it is a tremendous force and dominates and defies difficulties. You cannot be denied success with this characteristic to fight your battles." The club is working out plans for making subsequent meetings of an educational value to its members. Attucks Leaflets For March 5th Boston, Mass., Feb. 19.—American Histories systematically omit mention of historic characters of the colored race. Very few state the race of Crispus Attucks, tell anything of his history or give due credit to the Boston Massacre where he gave his life blood as the first American martyr. Hence the National Equal Rights League offers free Crispus Attucks Leaflets in connection with its endeavor to have the race observe March 5th every where and annually as the races Citizenship Foundation Day. These may be secured from the Corresponding Secretary, Wm. Monroe Trotter, 103 Court street, Boston, Mass., by old and newly formed branches, Equal Rights Committees of any other bodies for March 5th observances. COLORED HEROES OF ALL THE WARS WOULD BE HONORED Senator Pepper Expected to Call Committee For Report On Measure For Congress During This Session. (Special to Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., Feb. 19—Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania is expected to call together the joint committee of the library this week for a report to this session on the memorial measure pending before Congress, having for its object the commemoration of the heroic deeds of Negro soldiers and sailors of all this country's wars. The National Memorial Association, which came into existence for the purpose of getting thru appropriate legislation for this suitable recognition to Americans in black, is actively engaged in an effort to expedite matters in this direction. Representative Will R. Wood, of Indiana, author of the bill, supported by Representative Luce, of Massachusetts, chairman of the House committee on the library, and by Senator Frank R. Willis, of Ohio, stated yesterday that a favorable report was desired at this session. Commissioners appointed by the governors of each State have reported that they find members of Congress from every section favorable to the measure. The association has requested Congress to enact a bill giving recognition to Crispus Attacks in the Boston massacre; to Dorothy Gannett, who served as a man with revolutionary troops in Massachusetts; to the Negroes who were with Jackson at New Orleans; to the 30,000 Negroes out of 300,000 in the ranks who died in the civil war; to the troops who conquered Geronimo in the West; to those who sealed San Juan hill with Roosevelt who were in the Philippines with Pershing, and who, after Carrizal, received special honors from the French nation as they passed through Brest. It is the sentiment of the members of the association, that if Senator Pepper brings the matter out of committee this week, they will be in a fair way to go before the country with an educational campaign, and that it will be in position to receive early consideration by the next Congress. Says Woman Bit All The Annie McPherson presented a badly swollen lower lip in Police Court Monday morning when she appeared to press a charge of assault against Helen Saunders, who she claimed disfigured her face by biting her. The Mcpherson woman told the court that the scar on her lip covered a wound cut all the way thru to her gums. Helen said she hit and bit Annie because Annie came to her home and called her names. She was fined $5.00 and costs. OYSTER SHUCKERS THE COSMOPOLITAN OF THIS PORT FREE CLOSED FOLLOWING FROM TYPHOIDGERM BROWN & STEVENS MONEY FOUND IN 18 DIFFERENT PLACES ON DEAD WOMAN Had $442 Concealed In Different Parts of Garment Which She Had Worn Night And Day For Years. DIES IN BED AT THE HOME OF EMPLOYER OYSTER SHUCKERS OF THIS PORT FREE FROM TYPHOIDGERM Examination of Considerable Number Fails to Reveal Trace of the Disease; No Danger of Contamination. Examination of a large number of the several hundred oyster shuckers of this port failed to reveal any trace of typhoid among them, according to reports made to the city health department by the examiners. Wholesale examination of oyster shuckers was occasioned by the recent scare of typhoid germs in Virginia oysters, following an announcement to that effect by Illinois health officials, who placed an embargo on the shellfish from this port. Recent examination of the bivalves by Federal health authorities, Chicago physicians and local health officials cooperating with Mr. MacDonald Lee, State Game and Fisheries Commissioner, proved the typhoid scare of Virginia oysters to be unfounded. As a further assurance, however, that the oysters were free of the germs the Illinois health department demanded an examination of the shuckers. The giving of these men a clean bill by the examiners is looked upon as a very creditable showing in the matter of health rating. They are all colored men. Imperial Singers To Appear At The 1st Baptist Church The Sunday school of the First Baptist Church will present the Imperial Singers Monday night, February 23, in a recital. Mr. Stephen Lamb, president and director of the singers, has spent five years in the schools of New York pursuing special courses in voice culture and vocal teaching. He possesses a wonderful dramatic tenor voice, ability and art, handling many numbers in languages other than his native. A large crowd is expected to avail itself of the opportunity to hear this pleasing local talent. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR St. Louis School Classes To Study Journal and Guide The Journal and Guide is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Robert P. Watts, Director of Public Speaking in the Summer High School, St. Louis, Mo., requesting copies of the paper to be used in the establishment of a pre-apprenticeship to Negro journalism in the school. This request is further indication of the constantly increasing popularity of the Journal and Guide and the high esteem in which it is held by its readers everywhere. Mr. Watt's letter reads in part: "My desire is to place before my pupils best examples of Negro journalism, hoping thereby to impire more of them to make scientific journalism a career. One of my former students is now in the College of Journalism at the University of Wisconsin, while another is in a similar college at New York University. "If it is possible for you to accede to my request, and, if you are inclined in this way to aid me in the establishment of a kind of pre-apprenticeship to Negro journalism, I shall be glad to place your paper before my people as one of the best examples of Negro newspapers. "I have no compensation to offer other than the gratitude of these young people, who possibly will find themselves sooner than they otherwise might because of the inspiration of the Journal and Guide." Of course, the Journal and Guide will go forth regularly to Sumner High School. THE COSMOPOLITAN CLOSED FOLLOWING BROWN & STEVENS State Bank Headed By E. C. Brown Collapses After Failure of Private Institution; Former Norfolkian Cashier. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 18—Affairs of the Cosmopolitan State Bank of Philadelphia have been taken over by the State Banking Department, Peter G. Cameron, secretary of banking, announced Friday, George W. Brown, senior bank examiner, has been placed in charge of the institution as receiver. The banking department's action was the result of an investigation of the establishment's affairs growing out of the financial difficulties of the private banking firm of Brown and Stevens. E. C. Brown, of Philadelphia, is president of the Cosmopolitan State Bank and a member of the firm of Brown and Stevens. Several days ago Secretary Cameron announced he had appointed William R. Smith, a special deputy of the banking department, to act as receiver for the private banking firm. Friday, Mr. Cameron said he notified the directors of the Cosmopolitan State Bank to straighten out the affairs of that institution but, he said, they failed to take action and as a result he placed Mr. Brown in charge of the institution. The bank was chartered on June 18, 1923, with a capital of $50,000 and surplus of $18,000. It now has $140,000 in deposits, according to the banking department. E. H. Vaughan, formerly of Norfolk, is cashier. Mexico. City, Mex., Feb. 12- According to reliable information given out here the interior department has rejected an application from an organization said to represent American colored men and women which wished to colonize 1,000 families in this country. President Calles, in his recent visit to the United States, declared that he hoped to go back home, and build a school like Tuskegee. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers PRESIDENT DURKEE EXPLAINS RULES FORBID ENTRANCE PRESIDENT DURKEE EXPLAINS RULES FORBID ENTRANCE Students Not In Good Standing At Another University Cannot Enroll at Howard, School Head States.

Williams Held In $350 Bond For Perjury Williams Held In $350 Bond For Perjury Ned William's of Lumbert's Point, who on recommendation of Commonwealth's attorney Wilcox was held on a charge of perjury on a bench warrant by Justice Spindle, at the conclusion of his testimony in the case of Tom Moss and officer Kilpatrick in Police Court Wednesday of last week, was sent on to Corporation Court under a $550 bond when given a hearing Thursday morning. The case was heard by Assistant Police Justice William H. Sands. Commonwealth attorney Wilcox conducted the case for the prosecution, while attorneys John G. Tilton and Walter H. Land represented the defendant. Ten witnesses were called by Mr. Wilcox and divided about evenly in their testimony favorable and unfavorable to Williams. The defendant denied having told anyone that the policemen struck Moss in his home. The commonwealth based its charge of perjury on the statement of several witnesses at Moss' trial that Ned William told them the officer beat Moss in his (Williams) house, which statements Williams denied when testifying for the commonwealth in that trial. Attorneys Land and Tilton hotly contested the case, the latter consuming about three-quarters of an hour in a forceful argument.

In set of the Race, as the National going to the National Benefit, Interviewed by a representative of the Journal and Guide, President R. H. Katherford of the National owned and Negro-operated institu tion. Asked his opinion on the Standard Life "merger," Mr. Rutherford did not wish to be understood as casting the slightest reflection on the present control of that company in saying that it appeared to him doubtful if the new combination can or will function on the dual basis proposed. He was convinced that its policies must take one side or the other. And it was only natural that its direction would lean toward the interests of the group in control. "No matter how fair this group of white men may be disposed to be," said Mr. Rutherford. "it is probable that Standard Life will occupy an increasingly subordinate position in the affairs of the combination. Negro business remaining in it, and new Negro business going in it, must go to swell the coffers of the dominant interest, which is not Negro but white. This will, of course, mean an economic loss to the Race." Regarding the eventful effect upon the commercial progress of the Race, Mr. Rutherford ventured the opinion that this seeming disaster can be turned to ultimate good. "The lesson, while costly, may be a salutary thing in the long run," declared Mr. Rutherford. "If it brings home the vital need for Race solidarity against outside invasion and possible exploitation, it will to worth its coat," he continued. "The transfer of the control of Standard Life is simply a further insertion of the thin edge of the wedge of white control of Negro companies. Standard Life follows Mississippi Life after having been, so far as we can judge, at least a passive instrument in the previous absorption by Southern Life of the Mississippi company. My own company and other large Negro-operated insurance companies to take over Mississippi Life in order to save it for the Race, but we were blocked in our efforts. Negro financial interests and Negro insurance interests were not placed in possession of the complete facts in the. Standard Life immortal until it was, apparently, too late to save the latter. Strenuous efforts were made to control, but in vain. The die had been cast. That the edge of the wedge will be moved further along, if possible, we can be very certain. Negro operated companies have money-makers. Therefore, they have become interesting to white capitalists. It is futile to resent this, and equally improbable to criticize our white children for seeking short cuts to large profits. But we can and ought to criticize ourselves if we permit anyone to stroll in and occasionally reap the benefit of our years of sacrifice and hard work." "Nevertheless," and Mr. Rutherford spoke with added emphasis, "community howlers are entirely out of order. No lasting setback is to be feared. There are other brilliant jewels in our commercial diadem. Indeed, its lustre is carefully dimmed. We possess Business Fairness Dependability is one strong characteristic of this establishment.

H. Katherford of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Washington, D. C., one of the largest Negro insurance companies announced that Mr. J. B. Pinkett and Mr. Charles A. Shaw, formally responsible executives of the Standard Life Insurance Company, Atlanta, Ga., are joining the executive staff of his company. He added that in all probability several of the branch managers of Standard Life, and a number of successful field men, would also join under the National Benefit亨誉. Mr. Pinkett, who was Agency Director for Standard Life and who resigned upon its absorption by the Southern Life Insurance Company, Nashville, Tenn., has a brilliant reputation as an insurance executive. He will take charge of the Ordinary Department for the National Benefit. This department, Mr. Rutherford said, was growing rapidly, having written over $2,000,000 in new business in 1924. Its proper direction from this point on requires high-powered executive ability. Mr. Pinkett acquisition assures this. Mr. Shaw becomes Superintendent of Home Office Personnel and Chief of the Claim Department of National Benefit. Mr. Shaw is also widely known in national insurance circles. Remarking that no one more than the officials of his company regretted the passing of Standard Life from the control of the Race, Mr. Rutherford agreed that his company had very exceptional consolation in having secured a number of the very able men who had helped place Standard Life in the considerable position it formerly occupied in the Negro business world. From the broader viewpoint of racial interest, Mr. Rutherford went on to say, this was likewise B.F.KING Funeral Director & Cembalist 1246 CHURCH ST. CORP OF GOFF ST. Phone-23116 other institutions which we can employ to further our progress toward commercial independence. These institutions are just as large, are equally progressive, and are possibly more conservatively progressive. They are therefore less liable to invasion and depreduction. Let our people "stick together" to maintain and develop these institutions. They are not the property of special groups but their ownership is vested in the thousands of Negro men and women of small and moderate means all over the country who have helped to make them by purchasing their stock. The profits of the operation of these companies are therefore distributed all along the line, and are a part of the fluid assets of the Race. They are not tied up in the funded deposits of a few wealthy men. So when our people do business with these institutions they are actually doing business with themselves. And this is what Race Solidarity means. It is a force which we have an inherent right to use. Furthermore, it is a force which will automatically dispose of outside invasion and exploitation. If we prefer to do business with the companies which are owned and operated by men and women of our heritage, companies whose profits are helping to raise our standards of life and occupation, companies which because they are owned and operated by Negroes offer the only outlets for our children and our children's children to escape from mental and underpaid occupations if as men and women of common sense we prefer to do this—who can blame or restrain us. Enlightened public opinion, without respect to race, will readily agree with us that economic freedom for the Negro is not only a good thing for him but a good thing for the country. A subject race is an anomaly in a republic. "We have no quarrel with our white competitors in business. We recognize that our business structure forms a part of the commercial structure of the nation. It does not stand alone. We are investors in sound securities. Our money is doing its share in the great industrial and civic enterprises of the land. We are part of the warp and woof of national business. But outside of the insurance field, as it happens, there are seriously any lines of business in which we are in competition with the dominant page. And in the insurance field itself, we are competition in the most limited sense. I will put it that white companies compete with us for Negro business. We do not compete with them to underwrite white risks. And If Negro business as a whole want to Negro-owned companies of responsible character, the white companies work in the long run be affected only locally, if at all. These companies have the fast field of their own race as an exclusive preserve. Why should the Negro through indifference or indirection, run counter to the claims of his racial interest by providing on additional hunting-ground for companies controlled by the dominant race? Those who are indifferent must be awakened, the indecisive stiffened in backbone. Every time a Negro takes out a policy in a good Negro company, he protects not only himself and his family, but advances the interests of his race. If our people will act upon this self-evident truth, Negro commercial progress is safe. Failures of individual institutions may be expected from time to time, just as they may be expected outside the confines of Negro business, but those failures will remain individual failures and the Race will continue to move onward and upward." The record of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company itself during 1924 bears eloquent witness to the business capacity of the Race. Incomplete returns show amazing progress. Compilation to date give the income of the company for the year as $1,600,000. Final figures for income will reach, it is estimated; $1,750,000 in round numbers. The increase in income is approximately sixty per cent over that of the preceding year. Insurance in force on December 31, 1924, a mounted to $31,652,730. Since then, it has risen to $38,000,000, approximately. The report of the company's Secretary-Treasurer shows an increase in the Reserve, Capital Stock, and Surplus amounting to $105,287.66. OAKWO The Mt. Gilead had a very good attack. The Sunday school, preached a very time being the third Sunday munion was served. —On Tuesday night contest giving at the Church between the Oratory and The territorial expansion of the company made enormous strides during 1924. The agency force was increased 300 per cent. Active operations were begun in twelve additional states. Thirty-five new branch offices were set up, fully equipped and staffed. The number of district offices in all rose to eighty-eight. This program of expansion is still in progress in 1925. Two more offices have been opened in South Carolina. Oklahoma has just been added to the fold. Georgia goes on the roster next month, with four new offices opening in the larger cities. Later in the year, Colorado and Nebraska will be added. And this unusual growth is thoroughly conservative. It is merely keeping pace with the company's increasing income and resources and the demand for increased range of service. As Mr. Rutherford observed, "The National Benefit Life covers by far the widest area of territory of any of our Negro insurance companies. We feel that this growth has been built on service to the race." The credit for the splendid showing made by the company in 1924, and continuing in 1925, is given by Mr. Rutherford first to the whole-hearted support by the Race generally, and then to the company's loyal and energetic force in office and field. Virginia made a wonderful record in 1924, Mr. Rutherford declared. He mentioned particularly a number of the members of the field force in the State, among them Mr. C. H. Liewellyn, Norfolk district manager, and his assistants, Messrs. W. C. Brown and R. H. Harris; Mr. W. J. Mill, Alexandrin, and his assistant, Mr. B. H. Hall; Mr. C. W. LeGrand, Richmond, and Mrs K. W. Allen, assistant; Mr. W. F. Roberts, Charlotteville, and Mr. S. H. White, assistant; Mr. W. J. Watts, Dancille, and Mr. W. O. Ferguson, assistant; Mr. Jackson Glaze, Farmville, and Mr. S. E. West, assistant; Mr. A. D. Wheeler, Lynchburg, and Mr. C. E. Johnson, Lynchburg; to these men and to their coadjudents the big accomplishments of the year in Virginia are largely due. After twenty-six years of consistent progress under its original management, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company stands as an enduring witness to Negro capacity and ideals. Suffolk Doctor Defends Race (Continued from Page One) the logical axiom that one exception destroys the argument. The germ plasm of the human organism possesses elementally all the potentialities of good and evil manifested in the full developed state, and when it is subjected to the proper environment during its transitional and developmental periods, the good absorbs the evil. This is true with any race. This fact is beyond refutation. "(2) 'The Mongrels are superior in mental power to the lower race.' I would refer you to an article in the February issue of "The Southern Workman" from Hampton Institute, page 70, this will help to clarify your views on this score. This is a presentation without bias. This statement does not hold fast in the light of free and open investigation. "(3) 'There is but one absolute solution* * * *gradual repatriation of the colored races.' This is neither feasible nor practicable in the light of the present status of relationship of races forming the American Society and the integral part all races possess in maintaining her present power and resourcefulness. This is a dreamer's guess under the influence of mental facies to afford a relaxation from the more serious problems of the nation. "Your fear and apprehension about the race of low ideals, as you choose to term it, to crowd out the higher race is puerile and unbound. The ratio of increase thus far affords you no just basis for your more or less sanguine expectation. Birth control is mischievous and demoralizing to say the beast, and any people, race or nation that would practice it generally, has a right to expect absolute extinction. It is indeed complimentary to a race of "low ideals" that it has not reached the point to practice such a biological cunning, and thwart the divinity that shapes the lives of humanity. "I feel, sir, that your address was made for the purpose of throwing other impediments in the pathway of the progress of the Negro, rather than a scientific exposition on the necessity of the law of racial integrity. "Such cautious and irritating public discussions do not help to engender and cement the inter-racial relations which all forward looking men both North and South are trying to bring about by the free exchange of views on racial ambition, yearnings and hopes and desires. It is unfortunate that there should be a general distribution of such an article among the unsophisticated and less discriminative. The solution to social problems cannot be facilitated by these vexing unknown factors in the equation."

He doesn’t have to be yellow, because he shoves that ham bone into somebody's “tummy” and moves out of the danger zone like a man on roller skates. Larry is letting his conscious be his guide, and his fect his defenders, which is not a bum idea after all.

DENISHAWN DANCERS BELIEVE GREAT ART NOT ALWAYS TRAGIC In their season at the Manhattan Opera House in New York, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, with their Denishawn Dancers, impressed every critic and no doubt every beholder in their capacity audiences, with a spirit of joy, of invincible and immortal youth running like a golden thread through all their works. The Denishawn Dancers will appear in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute on Saturday night, February 21, at 8 o'clock. Robert Gilbert Welch, in the New York "Telegram" expressed his reaction as follows: "Of the several groups of dancers who appear in New York from time to time the most vibrant and stimulating are Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, with the Denishawn Dancers. "Last night in the Manhattan Opera House, these lively young people offered a program that like Puck himself, girdled the earth. All this palpant journey was undertaken with an infectious spirit of youth, for the Denishawn Dancers express themselves with manifold delight in what they are doing." Burns Mantde, in the New York "News" felt that he had to be humorous—his readers expect it—but in his wit he reveals a great truth: "Mlle. St. Denis and Signor Shawn may excite a Slavic sniff or two in the breasts of the Russian exponents of their art, but they can boast of spreading greater hapboast of spreading the greater happiness and spreading it more widely. "They have, for instance, a Hopi Indian number in which a handsome young man eager to be beSt. Denis a seamal rising alluringly from the foam and drifting into his dreams. The Russians would have dragged him into the trothed to the daughter of a chief stakes his chances on the turn of a feather in an early morning breeze. Give this theme to the Russians and they would blow the feather in the lad's face and slaughter half the village as a finale. "Again there is a striking Spanish number 'Cuadro Flamenco' which offers a gay Spanish cafe scene, with Shawn as a handsome toreador and Miss Ruth St. Denis as the intriguing dancer. It has the Carmen touch and the Carmen story, but it is also lightly treaded. "The love of the dancer is here won by the generosity and taste of the toreador in selecting shawls for her. Everybody dances himself dizzy with joy. "The openeng number 'The Spirit of the Sea' reveals Mr. Shawn as a naked and shining fisher-boy lying on a rock and Miss sea and strangled him with seaweed." This spirit of looking upon the bright side of life is typically American, despite the gloom of our modern novelists. Hunting for the grief and dirt of life is essentially old-world and represents a decadent phase of civilization. The Denishawns give expression to the vitality of a young, radiant and glorious people, in joy and youth.

"It is a challenging thing to trust God," declared Rev. Richard H. Bowling last Sunday morning. "It frequently calls for defiance of all the dictates of worldly wisdom. Amaziah and his campaign against the Edomites is a case in point. He hired mercenaries to the number of 100,000 at a cost of nearly $200,000. Just at the point of entering upon the campaign, God's prophet came forth saying, 'O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel.' "Now think of what Amaziah's obedience here would involve.: Loss of friendship of former allies, loss of money, and risk of the issue of battle. It was no light thing Amaziah was asked to do. Faith and Adventure "But trust in God has not changed from that day to this. Practical faith is still an adventure. To put God at the center of one's life and then make every action square with his will, to acknowledge him as our Master and then to do all that he requires, is to give up the safeguards of expediency and to face difficulties and dangers—I had almost said to invite them—with only faith in God as explanation. Take the universal ambition to 'make good' in life. Here again is, that old involvement of being forced to sever friendships at the command of God. We all recognize the necessity of co-operation, if we would succeed, and therefore our need of friends. There is an instinct within us for gregariousness. We want to herd together. The lodge, the club, the frat, the sorority, even the church, are but manifestations of that inward urge of our natures. We feel that to 'make it' in life, we must strengthen ourselves with all the connections we can effect. God's Challenge "But sometimes God speaks to us in the midst of our efforts to succeed, saying, 'Let not the army of Israel go with thee. The very connections you think will help you, achieve success will be the means of your failure. Trust me and my will for you above every human help or you and your human props both go down'. . . . What has faith adequate for such a test? It comes sooner or later to every man who would succeed in a large way. Life and Death "In the summing up, let us note that ancient involvement, most critical then and most critical now, the risk of the issue of battle. What if it can be shown that God will give us new friends for old more money for that sacrificed for a principle, when there looms the possibility of losing the battle? Here for Amaziah was a matter of life and death, of the freedom or serfdom of a nation. It meant discounting the supposed Maker and Preserver of all and trusting to one's own wisdom and power or banking all on God. So today this affair of trusting God and making life square with his will is a matter of life and death. It strikes at the very roots of things. It is not merely the profit and loss on a particular transaction whose end we can see from the beginning. What will be the issue of my life? the anxious soul inquires. Frankly, no one can put it down for you in such a way as to enable you to add Q. E. D., as a student does when he has demonstrated a proposition in geometry. Risking All Or God "But I tell you what Amaziah did. He banked on God, obeyed his will, and won the Edomite war. Livingstone banked on God and, though he died in an African jungle, his immortal dust sleeps in Westminster Abbey and his faith is an inspiration to millions. Paul banked on God and, though he gave up family, friends, financial, social and religious preferment and ended up at a chopping block, he and God blessed two continents with the gospel. Jesus banked on God and, though he agonized in Gethsemane and suffered on a cross, from that cross he can lift you and me into the sunlight of God's love. "The curtain of your own future hangs dark and inpenetrable. But the voice of the Almighty calls from within the veil, 'Put your trust in me.'" Rev. Morris, Allen, A. C. E.

Long, the youngest and one of the most successful and respected pastors in the history of the famous Old Bank Street Baptist Church of Norfolk. On the night of January 26, in a regular business meeting, Rev. Long was unanimously called to the pastorate of the Great Calvary Baptist Church, East Orange, N. J. This church has had only two pastors during its whole history of nearly forty years. They are now anxiously awaiting the coming of their new choice. Rev. Long has the call under prayerful consideration. His many friends are seeking to persuade him to remain in Norfolk. ton N. C., where he attended the Bishops' Council of his church, which was in session last week. Rev. Morris is pleased with the progress of the work among the young people in his church and is now devoting much time to the observance this year of a "quartocentennial" celebration in honor of the adoption of Christian Endeavor in the A. M. E. Church. The Allen Life Guard, a movement similar to the Boy Scout Movement, is being vigorously pushed by Secretary Morris, who set up an organization of 38 boys in the city of Richmond this week. Dr. Morris has recently visited Asheville, N. C.; Danville, Roanoke and Richmond, Va., in interest of his work. He was scheduled to speak at Bolling Brook, this city, Wednesday evening. He left the city Thursday morning to fill engagements in Clarksburg, W. Va., and points in Kentucky before returning to his office in Nashville, Tenn. 'Ten Commandments', By Prof. Simmons At The Second Calvary At the Second Calvary Baptist Church Menday night, fifty leading soloists will sing under direction of Prof. Hiram Simmons the duplex composition of the Ter Commandments in six different forms. Each of the six different groups will be placed on the platform and will sing the composition all at the same time, yet producing harmony. They will be accompanied by a pipe organ and a piano. This composition which required several months in its perparation is regarded as one of the most difficult and intricate ever composed, and the perfect singing of it is said to produce one of the most wonderful choral effects. Prof. Simmons, who is the author of several religious compositions which have found increasing favor in local choirs, regards his Ten Commandments, as the crowning achievement of his musical career, and those who have heard it sung acclaim it a masterpiece. SILHOH RAPTIST CHURCH Sunday school was opened at 9:45, the attendance for the hour was good. Officers were installed by Rev. C. Hodges. At 11:30 a. m., Rev. A. C. Tillery, an able division of this city preached a wonderful sermon. His subject was, "Making the Right Choice." At 6 p. m. B. Y. P. U. conceived with the president, Miss E. E. Johnson in charge. Officers were installed by Rev. C. Hodges. At 9 p. m., Rev. Tillery preached to the Order of 400, women's auxiliary. Next Sunday, February 22 Rev. Thomas Wyatt, of New York City will preach the entire day. A hearty welcome to all. GRACE P. E. CHURCH The congregations at Grace are becoming larger and larger. Every Sunday morning the church is filled. Rev. Harris preached on the "Parable of the Sower," taking as his subject, "The Causes of Failure. Three causes were noted; lack of spiritual perception; "those falling by the wayside," lack of depth; "those falling on rocks," dissipating influences, those that "fell amidst thorns." To bring forth fruit two things were noted sincerity and endurance. At the evening service at 6 p. m. Rev. Harris preached on the 137th Psalm, subject, "How To Meet Reverses." ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday was quarterly meeting day and the services were full of inspiration and helpfulness. At the morning hour, Dr. C. R. Saunders, the presiding elder, delivered a masterly sermon on "Christ's Intercessory Prayer," Jno. 17:11. One infant was baptized. There was a fine attendance at the Love Feast which proved to be a spiritual feast enjoyed by all. Dr. R. J. Matthews led the Allen League meeting. Sunday school attendance was 550. The Sons of Norfolk held a Dauglass Memorial Service at the evening hour. The fourth quarterly conference was held last Friday night and much business was transacted. Reports from the various departments and auxiliaries showed the church to be in a healthy condition. The recommendation of the Board of Stewards that Bishop J. Albert Johnson be petitioned to return Dr. J. A. Young as pastor and Dr. C. R. Saunders as presiding elder for another year was unanimously approved by the quarterly conference. BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Services at 11 a. m., were well attended. The pastor, Rev. W Scott Miller, selected for his subject, "Do Weeds and Ivy Vines Clog Up Your Heart?" The Sunday school also was well attended. Superintendent Dungee rehearsed the music for the Lincoln's birthday celebration. Mrs. J. E. Moore and Miss C. V. Shepard, the committee on the piano, reported on the new piano. They selected a nice piano at a cost of $175.00 and it will be delivered at the latpart of the week. Miss Spence was present and took in charge her class of little ones. The collection was good. At 6:30 p. m., the C. E. met and was led by Miss Carolyn Dungee, who proved to be a good leader for a young Miss. Resitations were rendered by the Misses Mildred Brown and Mildred Council. The topic was discussed very well by Rev. Dr. Hoskins and Prof. Dungee. Miss Carlee Brown, the president will lead the meeting on this Sunday. A fine program is promised. At the close of the C. E., the Sunday school assembled to celebrate the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Special songs were sung and recitations were given by Mr. J. E. Moore, Miss Carlee Brown and Miss Carolyn Dungee. Remarks were made by Rev. Dr. Hoskins, Prof. Dungee and the pastor. The proceeds were for the Missionary Work among the Negroes in the South. On Thursday night the Mock Trial was fairly well attended. The participants acquitted themselves with glory. The pastor and members of the church thank them for their services. The Woman's Missionary Society of this church met at the residence of Mrs. Loretha Lomax, 822 Avenida C, February 12, 1925. The honor roll was called and everyone answered with a quotation. The regular business carried out, and every one took part. A delicious menu was served by the hostess, consisting of chicken salad, saltines and cheese, sandwiches and tea. Metropolitan S. S. Teachers Meet The Primary teachers of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church Sunday school met with Mrs. Nora Perkins, 408 Chapel street. After discussion of very important business concerning the children a very delicious repast was served by the hostess. MT. LEBANAN BAPTIST CHURCH Our early morning prayer meeting was spiritual. The Sunday school is marching on to success. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor gave us a rich message from Ps. 84:11. The B. Y. P. U. met at the regular hour and rendered a fine program. At night the pastor was at his post and delivered a great sermon from Matt. 25:14. There were two additions. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE FIRST U. P. CHURCH HEARS FINE SERMON BY REV. HOSKINS "Prevailing Prayer," Subject of Impressive Discourse by Retired Minister. Rev White Administers Communion. The morning services at the First United Presbyterian Church, were of a high spiritual order Sunday. Rev. D. F. White, the pastor after a fervent prayer, introduced to the congregation, Rev. M. G. Hoskins, a retired Presbyterian minister, who, although in his seventy-fourth year, and physically broken down from over-work, preached a sermon that commanded the rapt attention of his hearers. Taking as his text St. Luke 32:33-34. Rev. Hoskins used as his subject: "Prevailing Prayer." He told how every day he takes all his problems to God in prayer and how he prays not for himself alone but for the whole-wide world. The congregation was urged to believe more in prayer and to have more faith in God for the answering of real prayer. Rev. Hoskins has been in the ministry forty-nine years and 42 years of that time he was teaching as well as preaching. At the close of the sermon, Rev White opened the doors of the church and one young man, Mr Ernest Dixon joined the church on confession of faith. Holy Communion was then administered by Rev. White assisted by Rev. Hoskins. The choir sang very beautifully, several anthems which added greatly to the attractiveness of the services. DECLARES THAT THE SPIRITUAL CITY IS WITHOUT WALLS Three Strong Sermons Feature Services at Queen St. Baptist Church Last Sunday; Impressive Funeral. "God's city has no bounds, and He had Zachariah understand in a vision that His spiritual city was without walls in order that it might grow," Rev. F. W. Williams, the pastor, asserted in a strong sermon at the 11 o'clock service at the Queen Street Baptist Church Sunday. He said, "In every crisis God has a man to come forth and lead His people; expect great things and you will get them if you toil and faint not; God is always with those who exercise great faith in Him." The service began solently with an organ prelude by Mrs. S. W. Reynolds at the organ which prepared the congregation for the reception of the powerful spiritual message the pastor had for it. The close of this service was immediately followed by the funeral of Mr. Raymond Johnson, the youth who was unfortunately murdered by a young woman. Dr. Williams fully appreciated the sorrow the incident had occasioned and had prepared for the funeral sermon a powerful lesson for the living. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord," was the text from which he expounded many of life's truths to the crowd of young men and women, many of whom had assembled out of curiosity as well as to pay the last respects to the deceased. Continued Rev. Williams: "As a man liveth, so he dieth." Bearing fruit is important in the human life; church-going should not be neglected and repentance, regeneration and baptism are essential to eternal life." Dr. Williams stressed the importance of early seeking the Lord and made an urgent plea for a better citizenship, church membership and a greater obedience on the part of young people to their parents and the laws. At night the pastor again delivered a splendid sermon from Ez. 1:16, subject, "A wheel in a wheel, or the Wheel of Providence; a Vision of the Glory of God's Providence," it "was God's Providence," said he, "that brought us to this country and for 259 years kept us in training. It was his providence that gave us freedom and has led us so far to success in the various fields of human endeavor, and if we believe we are His we are the little wheel moving for Him; teaching men how to move for Him; crushing all His enimies and making the world safe to live in until His return to claim us into His eternal Kingdom. The Sunday school was featured by a large attendance. The lesson was interestingly reviewed by Rev. Spurgeon, of New York. Mrs. E. V. Kelley and daughter, Mrs. Buena Kelly Jackson, superintendent and secretary, respectively of the school, have just returned from Cuba and Panama where they have been for nearly two months. Both gave interesting talks regarding their trip. 100 per cent attendance is asked for the school next Sunday. The orchestra under Mr. C. P. Robinson is doing much toward increasing the attendance. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH At the early morning prayer meeting many rejoiced in the Lord. The B. Y. P. U. is making rapid progress these days. Our attendance last Sunday was o v e r 150. President Clemmons and the newly elected officers are certainly putting life in this service. The pastor, Rev. Johnson, was at his best on last Sunday when he electrified his audience from the subject, "The waters of Morah." He again occupied the rostrum at 7:30 and held the congregation spell-bound as he preached: "The Final Judgment." Only a man of God can preach with such power and people from all parts of the city attend services here regularly, being drawn, by the forceful messages that he delivers. To appreciate the Sunday school one must attend in person. The Men's League held a special service at 3:30, at which time a sermon was delivered by Rev. Hatchett. Many attended and the offering was large. The Willing Workers met on Wednesday night. Many of the ladies attended, this session and greatly enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Lee entertained her gusts in delux style. The Ladies' Aid Society met on Friday night at the residence of Mrs. Mabel Barco, Barre street. The meeting was characterized by the work and display of both plain and fancy needle work. Mrs. Barco served deliciously. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY OF GRACE CHURCH The regular meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of Grace P. E. Church was held at the Parish House on Monday evening, February 16th with a large number present. Mrs. Gertrude Foreman Carrington, the newly elected president presided. Many plans for work were mapped. Mission Study Classes will be held the first and fourth Monday evenings at the different homes of the members. The meeting for the first Monday night will be held with Mrs. Alma Givens, 1108 Church street, at seven o'clock, at which time a paper on the Church's Work in Virginia "will be read by Mrs. Adole W. Trigg. All friends are invited to join with them in these meetings. Mrs. E. T. Byrd, who was chairman of the Chicken Supper given on Monday night, February 9th, reported $12.00 on the Diocesan assessment raised from the supper. A committee headed by Mrs. Givens and Mrs. Lucy Burhanham served a chicken salad supper last Monday night, which proved most successful. This supper was given under the auspices of the Guild which hold its regular meeting on the third Monday night at the Parish House at 7:30 o'clock. BETHEL BAPSTIST CHURCH Sunday school exercises were good. At 11:30 the pastor, Rev. Odem, preached from the sixth chapter of Matthew "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread." At 5:30 the B. Y. P. U. had a delightful program. At 8:00 p. m., the pastor preached another splendid sermon. Many visitors were present among whom was Rev.

DRAWS NO LINES FIRST BAPTIST "A Church Where A Man's A Man" Evidence Fails To Connect Men With Lacal Robberies (Continued from Page One) against him. Under further gruelling cross examination by Mr. Harrison he made more conflicting statements. Justice Spindle ordered Brooks and Hall held in bonds of $3,000 each for Corporation Court and remanded the others to jail without bail on fugitive from justice warrants to await further information from the Washington authorities. Charges Quashed When the detectives from that city arrived and appeared in court Wednesday morning, the attorneys for the defense moved that the charges against Brooks and Hall for the alleged robbing of Pool and Jordan be quashed on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Commonwealth's attorney Wilcox who was present at the previous hearing, agreed to the motion in order that all the men might be turned over the Washington police. The men denied being in Norfolk on February 2nd and offered evidence that tended to prove alibis. No attempt was made by the defense to block their return and the men expressed a willingness to face the charges held against them in the capital city.

WALKER COLLEGEGRADUATES BEAUTYCULTURISTS (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 19.—Early in November, the Madam C. J. Walker Company opened on one of the most prominent business corners of this city, a branch college of Beauty Culture with all modern equipment and highly competent instructors. Announcements of the opening brought students from several different States. After completing an extensive course in the various arts of beauty culture, 12 weeks of daily practice and passing a severe final examination, graduating exercises for the first class were held here last week. A capacity crowd filled every available seat at Ebenezer Church where the twenty-five graduates received diplomas. It was a gratifying picture to see this large group of our women there scaled, dressed in white, their hair and complexion beaming with evidences of care unto themselves even as they are prepared to give unto others, attentively listening to the commencement address by Atty. F. B. Ransom, General Manager of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., who urged them to catch the vision of a larger, more useful life, and commended them for this, their step toward independent livelihoods. Invocation and remarks were offered by the pastor. Theses on beauty culture were read by the graduates, encouragements were offered by leading business men and musical numbers, appropriately sandwiched in by some of Kansas City's best talent completed the commencement exercises of this College's first class of '25.

JOHN'S Thursday, 20th June VETERANS PROTEST WARDEPARTMENT'S YIELD TO PREJUDICE Condemn Revoking of Order Stationing Twenty fifth Infantry at Fort Logan, Colorado, In Resolution. New York, N. Y., Feb. 18.—Lieutenant Earl W. Mann, colored, World War Veteran, and Commander of the Wallace Simpson Post No. 20, of the American Legion, located in Denver, Colorado, has sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a resolution passed by his post condemning the action of the War Department in bowing to race prejudice by revoking its order stationing the 25th U. S. Infantry at Fort Logan because of protests received from white residents. The War Department had ordered the 25th Infantry, a colored unit, transferred from field duty on the Mexican Border, to Fort Logan. Shortly afterward this order was revoked. "The only reason," says the colored veterans' resolution, "as set forth for the repeal of the said War Department Order, commanding the 25th Infantry, U. S. A., to Garrison duty at Fort Logan, Colorado, expressed and transmitted through the Englewood Chamber of Commerce." The resolution further states that "this complaint and objection to the garrisoning of the 25th Infantry, U. S. A., at Fort Logan, Colorado, is based solely upon the color of the troops." MANGLED BODY OF WOMAN FOUND ON RAILROAD TRACK Blood Stained Club And Pool of Blood Nearby Indicate Foul Play. Instead of Train Accident. (Special to the Journal and Guide) Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 19.—The mangled body of an unidentified colored woman with the head completely severed from the trunk was found Friday, February 13, about 8 o'clock p. m. by a Southern Railway conductor on the railroad tracks near the North Charlotte station. A blood stained club and a pool of blood were discovered about 30 feet from the spot where the body was found. The head, apparently severed from the body by a passing train, was lying along side the tracks. A. L. Harmon, railway claim agent, was notified and city police officers started an investigation. Coroner Frank Hovis was notified and the body was carried to the Robinson undertaking establishment. The body is described as being that of a woman who weighed about 180 pounds, 30 years old and of a dark brown color. There were no marks of identification on her clothing. The theory is being advanced that the woman was murdered and placed on the railroad tracks. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 WASHINGTON The Nation's Capital Dr. Carter G. Woodson Delivers Address At A. & T. College Journal and Guide Bureau, Chrispus Attucks Press Association, 1501 11th St., N. W. Washington, D. C. Divorced Mrs. H. P. Scot Washington, D. C., Feb. 18—Much interest attaches to the action for divorce brought by Mrs. Emmia A. Scott, against her husband, C. R. Scott who is charged with numerous acts of cruelty. The Scotts have had a tumultuous career covering a period of several years. He is a cafe promoter and proprietor, having at one time held the famous lunch room at Seventh and Tea streets near the old Howard theater. It was there that a scandal arose over the alleged maimed attention Mr. Scott showered upon a comedy waitress in his establishment. It led to a divorce from his then wife formerly Miss Hattie Picket, prominent in Richmond social and family life. In reply to the charges of cruelty and neglect, brought by wife number two, Scott charges that she is not his wife, because he was not legally divorced from Mrs. Hattie Pickett Scott, and that the marriage to Mrs. Emma Scott was performed before the period required by law. The up-to-date appliance and the prominent location of the Scott cafes, both the former one and the waffle shop, make the people involved very well known to Washington. Both places have been the favorite headquarters for Howard University boys when down town Mrs. Hattie Pickett Scott is a woman of poise and middle age along with Scott himself, while Mrs. Emma Scott, who sues for the present divorce is much younger. She resembles a Greek or Italian woman. Former Virginian Buried With Honors Few women of this day have identified themselves more actively with race organizations in the post of hard duty than did Julia Mason Layton, who was buried from Nineteenth Street Baptist Dr. Carter G. We Address At Speaks At Length On The Economic Developments of The Negro. (Special to The Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C., Feb. 19.— Friday evening, February 13, A. and T. College had its second program in commemoration of the achievement of the Negro, at which time Dr. Carter G. Woodson, editor of the Journal of Negro History, was the principal speaker. Dr. Woodson was introduced by President Dudley, who told of the beginning of Negro Week at the A. and T. College and the importance of setting aside a specified time for the observation of the commemorative deeds of the race. He said that next year he plans to make Negro Week a community affair instead of a college affair, because he feels that the Church, last Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Layton had been secretary for 100 organizations and the unique floral tribute, a huge pen was a fitting symbol of her service. Mrs. Layton was one of a remarkable family of Virginians who came to Washington and entered into its complex life and played a large part in shaping and guiding its development. She was the daughter of the late Henry A. and Julia D. Mason of Middleburg Va., and became the wife of Professor John T. Mason, famous basso profundo, and leader of the widely known Metropolitan A. M. E. choir, while she was a teacher in the public schools of the city. In these days of the ornamental flapper, the life of a woman like Mrs. Julia Mason Layton is a star of the first magnitude and lights the path unerringly for young women seeking a way to honor fame and virtue. Grace E. White, proprietor of a beauty parlor, has brought suit for damages to the amount of five thousand dollars against Richard C. Richardson, lecturer, barber and preacher, for unlawful ejection from his property at 1809—14th street, northwest. It is alleged that a Virginia school teacher was also contemplating suit against the gentleman for inviting her to a lonely house under the guise of entertainment during a visit to Washington, made at his request. Richardson is reputed to be wealthy and to boast of it among audiences to whom he speaks, lectures and preaches. Dr. O. J. Allen Released From Freedman's Hospital The citizens who met and tried to make easier the illness of Dr. O. J. Allen of the First Calvary Baptist Church of Norfolk, who was here for medical attention at Freedman's Hospital, were pleased (Continued on Page Twelve) subject is of such tremendous importance that the entire community should engage in its observance. Dr. Woodson dwelt first upon the various steps in the history of the United States which lead up to the abolition of slavery. He mentioned the principles which produced the conditions that brought about the abolition of slavery. Although Lincoln was called the great emancipator, Dr. Woodson said, Thomas Jefferson in 1784 originated the principles upon which the emancipation proclamation was founded. He said that "Until the Negro learns to co-operate and apply himself diligently, this so-called freedom given him in 1865 will never amount to anything and he will remain a hewer of wood and a drawer of water." The Philharmonic Glee Club, a recently organized group of male singers, will be presented in its initial recital at St. John's A. M. E. Church Thursday night, February 26, by the Chi Beta Chi Literary and Social Club. The club is directed by Mr. Walter C. Fulford, its organizer and is composed of twenty-four well known young men in this community, who have exceptional talent for singing. The Philharmonic Club is purely a civic organization and makes its appeal to music lovers of this section solely in interest of the art. Its purpose is to serve in the creating of greater public interest in music. The officers of the Glee Club are, Charles S. Ferebce, president; Dedum Alston, secretary; William Foster, treasurer, and V. R. Skeeter, business manager. COLORED BUSSMEN GIVE REASONS FOR OPPOSING V. R. P. Feels Granting of Permits to Railway Cobpany to the Exclusion of Present Owners Would Be Unfair. The Norfolk Bus Association, operators of the colored busses covering the 18th St. and Douglass Park routes, has made public reasons its feels why it would be grossly unjust for the city to grant the Virginia Railway and Power Co., permits to operate all busses of Norfolk to the exclusion of the present owners. The Bus Association sets forth its case in the following terms: We have given service for ten years. We have complied with every city regulation and requirement. We have continually applied for extension of our service where needed. We have been and are ready to furnish service to every part of the city. We are a home industry with all Norfolk capital. We have not and do not ask for any increases in fares. We spend about $500,000.00 yearly with Norfolk merchants. We invested $250,000.00 in equipment at the direction and demand of the city ordinance. We have discharged every obligation to the public, and there is not a single unpaid judgment against us for damage, claims, or otherwise. All our owners and drivers are citizens of Norfolk and most of them are men of families. We operate our buses for Public Service, and not as feeder lines. We want to increase this service, rather than reduce it. We do not expect the city to guarantee us "an inviting return on investment". We built up our business thru service at a loss at first, but took chances without guarantees of any kind. We feel that we should be permitted to continue to render such service as the public may require. If permits are granted to outside companies, most of their expenditures will be made "out of town" as is now the case with the electric railway, while the present bus owners, if permitted to continue, should with a natural growth spend $100,000,000 yearly in Norfolk, in a few years. New Tent Set Up At Gatesville Gatesville, N. C.—Mrs. Pennie Hoskins was quite successful in getting set up a new lodge of the order of Tents in Hunters Mill Township Friday, February 13. Mrs. E. E.

POVERTY A BREEDER OF CRIME, SAYS DR. ROBERT R. MOTON Speaking In New York In Interest of $5,000,000 Endowment Fund For Hampton And Tuskegee Institutions. (By N. A. A. C. P. Services) New York, N. Y., Feb. 18.—Dr Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, in an address in the interest of the $5,000,000 endowment fund for Hampton and Tuskegee institutes, at the First Presbyterian Church, asserted that crimes between the races in the south were most frequent during years of economic depression. "A casual study will show," Dr Moton explained, "that crimes involving race have for the last 25 years been notably more frequent in those years when poor crops and low prices have brought economic depression to the cotton sections of the South. The South is least conscious of race when economic conditions are most favorable. The working out of a more stable and equitable economic condition for the masses of the people will undoubtedly contribute greatly to racial adjustment."

C. Feb. 20.—President J. Stanley Durkee, of Howard University, in his semi-annual report to the trustees on Wednesday, emphasized the steady progress of the various schools in the collegiate world. An analysis of income and expenditures of the fiscal year was presented by Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer. The board visited the site of the new gymnasium, armory and athletic field, where work has been commenced, Dr. Francis J. Grimke Justice Stanton J. Peele and James C. Napier were appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Andrew F. Hillier. The financial report showed increased assets of $12,542.69 over last year, the endowment funds for the schools of medicine and religion increasing the total. Attention was called to the fact that the increased assets through endowment and other sources have greatly increased the university's needs for operating expenses. Registration figures showed an enrollment of 2,400 in the various departments of the university in the collegiate year. There were enrolled at the close of the autumn quarter in regular collegiate courses 1,148 academic students, 608 in professional courses, and 124 special students, a total og 1,880. The winter quarter enrollment has pased 2,000. NORFOLK S.P.C.A. DOES VAST AMOUNT OF HUMANE WORK Dumb And Suffering Animals Find Friends In Society's Officers, Who Strive To Alleviate Their Condition. The report of the Norfolk Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for the past year's work bristles with activities carried on in interest of the dumb beasts. Not only were three hundred definite cases wherein cruelty to animals was prevented, but the kindly admonition of the society's humane officers has inspired a more uplifted condition of thought among the drivers of some twelve hundred, or more horses in the city. The report, which speaks for itself, tells of blinders having been found flapping in the animals' eyes and need to be repaired or cut off entirely, which has often been done. Horses have been found pulling too heavy loads when they were lame from bad sheeing, or the neglect of being fully shod. The horse suffers form these cruelties not only while at work, but often by lack of good and sufficient quantity of food, and because of uncomfortable stables for shelter from the cold winter winds, they suffer during rest hours. Looking after the welfare of the horse is only a part of the work; lost, homeless, sick and injured dogs and cats also have a friend in this society, which finds them a home; nurses the sick and injured back to health, or humally destroys them. Most of the dogs that have been injured have been run over by automobiles, and nearly two hundred have been humanly destroyed by the society because of this kind of injury during the past year, and the sad part is, that in nearly all of these cases the driver of the automobile never even slacked his speed to help the injured animal off the street. It is the aim of the society that at the next meeting of the Virginia Legislature, an educational bill similar to laws in many other states of the Union will be proposed for enactment, requiring the subject of Kindness to animals, birds and all living creatures to be taught in the public schools. It is the hope of the society to some day have an animal shelter similar to those found under the supervision of humane societies in many other cities, but at present, however, the report states the outlook is not encouraging, as the humane officer will be unable to attend all the many calls that the society receives over the phone daily. Some of these may have to be neglected or referred to the Department of Public Welfare for its co-operation, on account of the meager funds available for the society's activities. Until last year the city appropriated $1,500 annually towards the work, however, the appropriation was cut $1,000, with the result that the society has not now available funds even for the upkeep of the soils Ford car, it used so effectively heretofore. The gathering of a part of the work the decreased appropriation will render impracticable. More than 1200 of these pests were put out of their suffering last year. The Officers state that it is not their desire to complain or criticize on account of the lack of funds to adequately care for this humane situation, however, they have no apology to offer inasmuch as they have often published in the press, reports and articles informing the public of their work and their needs have been before the city officials many times appealing for help. A desk and phone service is furnished by the officials themselves in order that there may be a place for the public to go to or phone, besides these officers pay membership dues and perform the necessary work required of them and ask no compensation whatever, only that they may serve the city in interest of this human work.

PAGE EIGHT N.C.MUTUALPLACES GROUP INSURANCE ON ITS EMPLOYEES Policies Range From One To Three Thousand Dollars And Carry Total Disability Features. Durham, N. C., Feb. 10.—At the annual conference of the State District Managers of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company held at the home office of the company here recently, announcement was made that the company has covered every one of the employees with life insurance on the group plan. The policies carry a disability feature which offers compensation for a stated period in the event of total disability.

It has a colored population of about six hundred in and about the immediate vicinity. These colored people, for the most part, own their homes and farms. This prosperous condition is due largely to the exceptionally friendliness of the white people of the surrounding community. The relationship of white and colored people, in a business way, is all that could be desired. No reasonable assistance is ever denied by business firms, stores or banks. The colored people have availed themselves of the privilege to borrow money at low rates from banks and therefore have been able to get forward in a very satisfactory manner. There is a splendid modern ten- room Rosenwald school here. It is the best equipped colored school in the county—excepting the graded school, Rocky Mt. and ranks high in the State. This splendid school, with its seven teachers and eight months' term was made possible only through the untiring efforts of the colored citizens of this and surrounding communities, coupled with the exceptional and whole-souled interest of the superintendent, Mr. M. C. McLean, and the city school board. Indeed, too much cannot be said for these excellent gentlemen, and especially the superintendent. Under his direction this board has done and is doing all it can do to carry forward the educational interest in this town as regards the colored people. My only fear is that the colored people will fail to inspire them further to progressive activity by failing to properly appreciate what has already been done. It was my good fortune to be appointed principal of this school for its opening session that was for term 1923-24. We began the work with five teachers, altogether. We have been able to increase that number to seven. My wife, Mrs. Ida M. Dawson, is one of the seven and is doing efficient work. She is aiding the community and me much by her presence and timely counsel. There is also a teacherage connected with this school. It is a handsome modern, nine-room house with water, lights and bath. This teacherage is also the product of whole-souled co-operation between the whites and the colored people of this and surrounding communities. Supt. McLean suggested it and the school board made large contributions in the way of materials, while other white friends, as wel as colored, donated liberally of both cash and materials. Mr. Buel, a big souled man, the owner and director of large mill interest in this section, has been the most liberal individual donor, having given about three hundred dollars. CONVICTS TESTIFY TO CRUELTY AND PRISON TORTURE Whipping, Starvation, Coldwater Showers Methods Used For Administering Cruel, Inhuman Punishment (By Associated Negro Press) Austin, Texas, Feb. 18.—Called before a special committee of the legislature which is investigating alleged brutal treatment to prisoners at the State penitentiary, Dr. E. H. Boaz, formerly of Memphis, Tenn., and Dr. J. H. Hartman, a graduate of John Hopkins University, both convicts who have finished their terms, testified to particular mistreatment which they had observed during their stay there, ranging all the way from whipping and starving of convicts to feeding of poison to others. Dr. Boaz told of a convict who was a confidence man. His name was Furey. Furey was placed in one of the cells for the insane, in charge of a man named Fowler, who fed him once a week. He was finally starved to death and Boaz swore that he saw Fowler throw a bucket of water on him just a few moments before he died. Boaz also told of the effort made to have him give a colored convict a concoction of bichloride of mercury. He refused. The steward in the hospital then gave the dose to the old man with the result that the convict died two days later. Nine hundred dollars was donated from the Rosenwald Fund. This home as well as the school is a source of just pride to the community. They both reflect great credit on our white friends, not only because of the liberality of their gifts, but also because of their very encouraging attitude toward the work. WINFALL Winfall, N.

WALKER PILGRIMS REPORT WONDERS OF THE HOLY LAND Gethsemane, Jordan, Jericho Among Places Visited; Members of the Party Well and Happy, Enjoying Sights (Special to The Journal and Guide) I. Giannapolis, Ind., Feb. 19. Word has been received from Reys. M. J. Keys, K. H. Burrus, S. S. Jones and J. O. Haithecox, now touring Palestine as guests of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., of this city. The party is all well and happy and enjoying the matchless sights of their extensive tour. Apparently nothing worthy of note is escaping their view. In the Holy Land many Biblical passages are being more indelibly impressed upon their minds by their sight of the things and places of another day which remains unchanged by the onrush of time. Their complete program of sightseeing in Palestine has taken them to many interesting and sacred places among them: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, covering the spot where Christ was crucified and buried. In this church is the Rock of Calvary, the stone which covered the mouth of the Sepulchre and a stone with two imprints said to be the foot prints of Christ; the Church of the Ascension, covering the spot from where Christ ascended into Heaven upon the third day; the Russian Excavation Church, which encloses the original gates of Jerusalem; the Garden of Gethsemane, situated on the read to the Mount of Olives, in a quiet secluded spot where Peter, James and John slept. Near this is the spot where Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Bethlehem, home of David and Christ has been visited, where was seen the Church of the Nativity erected over the birthplace of Christ. Bethany and Jericho have been visited; the Dead Sea where stands the traditional Pillar of Salt; the River of Jordan, by which is the Valley of Meab, overlooked by Mt. Nebo on which Moses is buried. Other places of Biblical importance too numerous to mention have been visited by these men, and their trip is proving all that imagination could make it. As one member of the party wrote: "The sight-seeing has brought more to me, already, than I had anticipated." STRANGE POWER!

"Seeking The Best" Subject Of Fine In Sunday school the attendance was large. Several new members were received and Messrs. Robert Sheppard and Vernon Creekmur of Deep Creek were welcome visitors. Mrs. Elnora Wright led B. Y. P. U. and Prof. Williams of Norfolk, gave a splendid address at this service. His subject was "Baptist Democracy." At the morning hour Rev. E. E. Smith preached from the text, Matt. 6-23, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God etc" and used as his subject "Seeking the Best." He said in part: "Jesus had given the injunction 'Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not corrupt and where thieves do not break thru and ideal. Some may ask what is the kingdom of heaven? Paul declared, 'The kingdom of heaven is not meat and drink, and Jesus declared, My kingdom is not of this world.' The kingdom of heaven is a spiritual kingdom, it is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. We must be born spiritually and get a spiritual vision before we can see it. In it people must think right, must act right. It is the kingdom of peace that cometh from above. Jesus came to bring that peace. It is a kingdom of joy in the Holy Ghost, 'joy that the forces of the world cannot destroy. It is independent of circumstances and Jesus said that we should seek these. Is it true that if we should seek these things that other blessings will be added to us? Let these witnesses answer. Our mothers and fathers and nothing when loosed from bonds of slavery, hadnowhere to lay their heads. They sought the kingdom of God and God gave them houses, cattle, land and children of whom they can be justly proud. I, as the son of a widowed mother, had dreams of becoming a great educator but as my father died when I was three years old, it seemed that they could not be realized. But I sought the kingdom of God first. Jesus brought me thru successfully and today I stand here an advocate between Him and a dying world. Jesus does not mean that we are not to seek material things but He does mean to seek first the kongdom of righteousness. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where they can't be lost. Let Jesus be the center of your life, your thoughts, seek Him first and all things will be added unto you." At the conclusion of the sermon six persons joined the church and there was one conversion. The officers of the Boys' Club were installed with impressive ceremonies. Music was rendered by the choir and was an enjoyable feature of the service. At night Rev. Smith preached another wonderful sermon from the subject "When I see the Blood" to a large congregation. Editor J. G. Robinson Of A. M. E.

Review, taking for his text: 17th Psalm and 15th verse, subject of his discourse, "Imperfection of Prophets or the prophecy of imperfection."

One day I heard of Exelena Quinine Ponchart for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a odorless sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Lemonade I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier.

Protestant Hospital Annex Quietly and with not much ado about it the Grandy family as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Grandy, Sr., have erected at a cost of approximately $35,000 an annex to the Norfolk Protestant Hospital for the accommodation of colored patients. So unostentatiously were the plans worked out and the structure completed that few people in the community knew anything about it until very recently. The modesty and reservedness the donors used in their splendid gift to humanity surrounds the project with an atmosphere of deep sincerity and nobleness of purpose. It is difficult to perceive how a more laudable memorial could have been erected in this city at this time when the facilities it offers the colored people are so sorely needed by them. Adequate and proper hospitalization for the colored sick in Southern communities is almost always a serious problem. In recent years enlightened public opinion has done much to relieve the situation. However, there is room a plenty for improvement, and the Grandy annex will go far toward helping the situation in Norfolk.

The Colored Bussmen Any plan looking towards the unification of transportation service in Norfolk which fails to consider the question of the colorbuses from an exceptional veiwpoint does not seem to exactly fit in the premises.

Assuming for the sake of argument that there is merit in the Virginia Railway and Power Company's proposal to give the city unified transportation service on a comprehensive scale thru buss operation co-related with street car service, the proviso being made that the city grant the Company exclusive permits to operate busses over the streets, it is still exceedingly difficult to comprehend the fairness to the colored jitneurs, or even the necessity for it, to allow the Virginia Railway and Power Company or any other transportation agency to displace them with the same kind of service they are rendering, when it is a glaring truth that no effort has ever been made by anyone except these busmen to provide any kind of service to the territory north of Calvert street and east of Church street. Not a single foot of rails adorns this extensive area thickly populated by colored people, and without the service the jitneys have been rendering, these people would be practically isolated from the business district. No one can justly say that the increase in building operations and property values in this section has in any way resulted from street car service, real or anticipated. These are in no sense feeder lines, but in so far as relates to the territory they serve, independent and the sole means of transportation. Neither are they in any real sense competitive with street car service, inasmuch as the lack of tracks in the section is prima facie evidence that there is not and has not been street car service in the section to be competed with. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE does not attempt to pass upon the equity of the situation, but it does seem that the colored bushmen have some claim to exceptional consideration in their case. They have been the means of developing property and have by so doing made their field attractive to others, who would now displace them. Again, there seems to be no complaint about their service. They are satisfied and their public is satisfied. Editorial Page of Driving Out the Flim Flammers According to recent reports filed with the police department victims of the pocket-book, an age-old flim flam game, have increased considerably in the past few months in this city. Operators of this, one of the meanest and lowest way of extracting money from the ignorant and guileless, emboldened by the success of their efforts, seem to be out to reap a harvest and are apparently doing so. It is quite certain that police reports do not reveal the whole length and breadth of the situation. There are "suckers" and many of them, who after discovering they have been duped, never put up a holler, simply taking their losses philosophically, going home much the wiser and poorer. The police department may do its best to clean out the flim flam gang, but it is realized that this is a difficult problem, because the victims contribute to their own downfall by agreeing to enter into a shady transaction with strangers. Then the question of identity is generally hard to establish because the dupes, excited by what appears to them to be a golden opportunity to secure something for nothing, seldom take more than a casual look at the flim flammers. It is only after the light shines on their brain they begin to wonder just what the "good-natured" stranger looked like. Moreover, it is not a function of the police department to put common sense into folks' heads, and the exercise of just ordinary common sense by people having money in their possession or easily accessible would soon put the flim flammers on a starvation diet. Here then is work for the preachers, teachers and the intelligent body of citizens of the community. A number of good lectures on this thing from the pulpit and in the homes by the more intelligent members of the family would do more toward putting these low down parasites out of business than all the policemen in the country, and in the meantime divert the dollars that feed and fatten them to more worthy uses. Unfortunately, the press can do but little in this situation. The victims are almost always people who never learn from the printed word. They are intellectually backward and read no newspapers. If they are to be warned, the warning must be shouted into their cars.

Trouble at Fisk University of the Growing Sort It begins to look is if President McKenzie of Fisk University at Nashville had reached a point where it would be nice on this part to step down and out to save his own dignity and for the welfare of the university. The showing made in the newspapers as to the disturbances at Fisk between the President and the students is of the character to hurt the good name and reputation of any school. A large part of the student body and of the graduates of the university are at loggerheads with President McKenzie, and the former have been airing their grievances in public meetings and some of the students have been arrested at the instance of the president, and "frame ups" have been alleged on both sides. Howard, Atlanta and Fisk are the outstanding universities that the race has. Each of them has a white president and never has had an Afro-American as such. We do not remember a time when there was not a movement of discontent on foot to have an Afro-American president of one or the other university, but it has all come to nothing, because the universities are dominated and supported in large measure by white persons who have not reached the point where they feel that the affairs of the universities could be handled by colored as well as white persons. This in itself has been a thorn in the side of students and graduates alike, who considered it a reflection upon the ability of the graduates, to pay the least. Then, again; the growing Southern prejudice against the co-education of the races has led gradually to strained relations between the white president and members of the faculty, and the student body and race members of the faculty, the whites feeling constrained to bow in some sort to the social laws of the time and place. And it has come to be not the proper thing for the sons and daughters of these presidents and members of the faculty to allow their sons and daughters to grow up and be educated in the schools in which their parents are ruling and assisting factors. The Afro-American students and graduates have to resent this phase of the matter and lean more and more to the principle that their universities should have race presidents and faculties. We think this natural, and we say so without disparaging in the least the magnificent service and sacrifice which white teachers in our universities and colleges have given the race in times past.

It is so now in schools of higher learning as in army service; the race is beginning to think that it should have its own presidents and faculties, its own commanders and the like, with no dead line in promotion which says, "Thus far shalt thou go and no further." We are sure the trouble at Fisk will be smoothed out, and it should be in a way satisfactory to all concerned as we need the utmost harmony and cooperation in the conduct of our colleges and universities to obtain the highest and best results in character and scholarship.

Each nomad tribe that spends most of the time moving from place to place seeking fresh pasture for its flocks and herds has its base on one of these oases. Here the tribe owns land, as shown by mud-walled houses and gardens, and here certain members stay throughout the year to keep guard over the property and to care for the date palms. There is always a certain amount of trading to be done, and for this purpose the Arab men drive their loaded camels and donkeys across the wastelands into the oases. Seldom does an Arab come into an oasis but that he pays a visit to the mosque. This crude whitewashed structure whose minaret rises among the green palm trees was probably erected in memory of some saint or holy man. Here a school for the boys is carried on, and they gather with wooden boards of the Koran in front of them, reciting in loud voices the words that mean little more to them than sounds.

He and his wife, Mrs. Anna Banks Hunter, are natives of Richmond, Ind. The father of Mrs. Hunter was in the grocery business in Richmond, half century ago, and was a close friend of the Tower man. The Hunter's live in a delightfully modern apartment, soft lights, radio, victrola, and piano, where permeates an atmosphere of Christian peace and good will, that lifts one out of the trying perplexities of a busy world, and renews his strength for the days to come.

Samu uel Coleridge Taylor. Book Review "THE EVERLASTING STAIN." By Kelly Miller. Published by the Asso cited Publishers, 1538 Ninth St., N. W. Washington, D. C. Price, $2.65. This compilation of essays takes its name from the title of the first chapter in the book which is a strong plea to the Negro to insist that his blood is as good as any which courses thru human veins. One is reminded how in the presidential campaign when Cox and Harding were candidates, crafty politicians seized upon the rumor that Harding was possessed of Negro blood, and hoped that the electorate would feel that the infamy of this taint was the most detestable charge that could be brought against him. But the charge was refuted as soon as it was made and Harding was swept into the White House, assured that his blood was as unblemished as his character was spotless. The author asks the question "Why should it be considered more beinous than any crime to possess a trace of Negro blood? He tells us that pigmentation affects the TID BITS An ant that travels with extraordinary swiftness and attacks living animals with great courage is found in Southern Rhodesia. This ant is small, perhaps less than one-quarter of an inch in length, and brown in color. A live animal that is attacked by this species in even quite small numbers soon gives up the struggle like a creature under an opiate. A mouse has been observed to become confused when running across the sidewalk and seems to lose its bearings and even roll over in a drunken manner, and upon examination a few of these small brown ants were found clinging like little bulldogs to the tail and other parts of the mouse's body, and others followed up the attack, darting in like little arrows and laying hold upon the first spot of gray mouse they could reach; entirely heedless of the presence of a mere human creature with an investigating sunshade. Thanks, thanks very much. The Tower has found its place in the sun. Radiograms are reaching Tower man from far and near. It's a grand and glorious feeling. * * * Saturday Evening Post carries a long story about Irving Berlin, whom George M. Cohan once introduced as a "Jew Boy named after an English actor and a German city." Berlin, a product of New York East side and Chinatown, has an amazing career, all the way from "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to "What'll I do?" He has a marvelous insight of popular taste. Berlin's greatest successes are built up around ragtime and jazz, products of Negro life, and yet his "story" not written by himself however, contains no racial reference. "Bah, bah, black sheep." * * * There is in Chicago, on a prominent thoroughfare, South, a twenty-four apartment building with practically half of the suites empty. The neighborhood is changing, but the landlord refuses to change with it, and rent to colored. He is paying for his prejudice at the rate of $1,000 a month. Hate comes high. In Columbus, Ohio, there was once a similar landlord. His building remained vacant three years. Finally, the authorities made, him fix up and rent. To whom did he rent? Colored. Lester A. Walton a staff correspondent of the New York World, has completed three years' service with that great molder of public opinion. Both the World and Mr. Walton are to be congratulated; the World for its vision, and Walton for his efficiency. There are many good reporters who never become staff writers, with the stories appearing beneath their cognomen. Walton is a ready and clever writer; he has that rare ability for comprehending the "eternal fitness of things." Many dailies have followed the World's examples. Colored America reads everything that's printed, from Yiddish to Hog-Latin. Harold Tyler, a native of Columbus, Ohio, now a practicing lawyer in Chicago, a son of the late Ralph W. Tyler, former Auditor of the Navy, is to marry Miss Clementine Yerby, accomplished and popular daughter of Consul and Mrs. W. J. Yerby. This combination of hearts unites two distinguished families. Tyler's paternal father, grandfather and great-grand father were born in Columbus. His mother comes from the famous Mason family of Southern Ohio. The Yerby family is noted for its cultural attainments. "And Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands." White capital has steadily, and persistently, shied from Colored American encouragement.

The founders of the Persian people were closely akin to the Ethiopians and both the persians and Medean nations, were founded by peoples of African descent, according to their own legends. Tithonus, king of Ethiopia, and his son, Memnon, were the builders of the first citadel. A line of Ethiopian kings were mentioned as having ruled in the Shah Nameh, the Persian epic. As late as the time of Xerxes, the Persians' monarch boasted of their descent from the golden line of Perseus, who was of African descent, and husband of Andromeda, an Ethiopian princess. Felix Luschan, noted ethnologist, claims he has never found the Nordic type among the true Persians. Q. Were any of the Biblical prophets Negroes? R. E. K., Memphis, Tenn. A.

The other essays in the volume are Dr. Miller's reflections on the World War and its aftermath. Included are the author's open letters to President Harding and President Wilson and an interpretation of the character of Booker Washington. For those who are interested in a serious study of the ever present race problem, the book is to be highly recommended. - HORTENSE THOMPSON Washington The Nation's Capital (Continued from Page Seven) to have him recover, but sorry to see him leave for his home. There were many mutual exchanges of happiness both by Dr. Allen for the frendship from acquaintances and local ministers, and from the people of the city. Dr. Allen was not sparing in his praise for Dr. Carson and the attendants of the hospital. Graded School Principal Claims Injurous Reprimand School circles are again agog, over the letter written by M. Grant Lucas to the Board of Education reciting his feelings of grievance of a reprimand recently made in the school headquarters. Mr. Lucas infers that he was so treated because he had criticized the policy of the assistant superintendent in appointing to higher places, people from out of town, over the heads of local people long in service. The assistant superintendent told Mr. Lucas that he would not be considered for the principalship of the new and larger building under course of construction adjacent to his present charge, unless he greatly improved as principal. On issues of this kind the city quickly divides and the air becomes thick with flying rumors and much needless time and effort are spent in speculation as to who will get the decision from the referees, the members or the Board. To date they have been non-committal, but a report is expected this week. Mr. Lucas has been teaching some 30 years. He is principal of the B. K.
