Pittsburgh Woman's Gifts To Race Education Richmond Man Gives Norfolk A Boost Richmond, Va.,—In a statement given to the press recently in the course of which he noted race progress in a number of American cities, Mr. B. L. Jordan, secretary-manager of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Inc., made the following complimentary reference to Norfolk: "Perhaps our readers will say that all of the above cities have a larger population than Richmond and the reference or comparison is unfair. For this reason reference will be made to Norfolk, Virginia, whose colored population is not much more than one half of Richmond, which is the home of the Journal and Guide. It has the largest and, perhaps, the best high school for Race people in the State, and a Race man is the principal, the city furnishes a clinic for colored people which is operated by Race physicians and nurses; the colored people own and operate a modern hospital in Norfolk; they own more property and pay more real estate taxes into the State Treasury than Race people in Richmond; they have hundreds of business enterprises, including the only Million-Dollar Race Bank in Virginia, the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company." LEGISLATOR SCORES COLOR PREJUDICE AMONG CHRISTIANS Asserts It Is Not Only Affecting International Affairs But Also The Status of Christianity Before World. New York, N. Y., Feb. 25—Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio legislature, and of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on February 19th and dressed the sociology department of Ohio State University, an urged the Negro's claims to recognition as a full participant in American life. Mr. Davis asserted that the question of race relationship was affecting not only international affairs but also the status of Christianity before the world. Mr. said in part: "Largely because of color prejudice the Christian missionary movement is at a standstill in India, China, Japan and Africa, the great 'pagan' reservoir for proselytes. Indeed, it appears that Africa is destined to become a great Mohammedan Empire. The darker races have reached a point where they will not kindly accept a gospel of love and brotherhood when the denial of their essential manhood by Christian people negatives the tenets which they are asked to accept." Pays Death Penalty For His Crime (Special to Journal and Guide) Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 25—Dave Jones, race man, paid the extreme penalty in the electric chair at the State prison on the morning of February 18, for the murder of Sam Small, white farmer of Chowan county.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1925 Trade Week To Be Held Here From Saturday, March 21st, Thru Saturday, March 28th Local Business Enterprises Will Make Strenuous Efforts To Acquaint Buying Public With Value of Wares and Service WASHINGTON The Nation's Capital During this week special efforts will be made to induce consumers and users of all kinds of service to make purchases from their neighborhood dealer. Extravagant and useless spending will not be encouraged, but the object of those fostering the movement is to conduct a sort of educative campaign that will serve to inform the public that much of the wares and service it purchases elsewhere can be obtained with equal satisfaction from their own local enterprises. It is planned to designate each day of Trade Week as a particular day for stimulating one of the various businesses cooperating in the movement and to better acquaint the public with the establishments where its needs can be satisfactorily supplied. For instance, Monday might be designated as Banking and Building and Loan Day, at which time every family will be asked to either begin a bank account, make a deposit or take out shares in a building and loan society. Tuesday might be assigned to insurance men. All families would be asked to look after their insurance needs on this day, and so on throughout the week.

Tells Reporter That Husband Had Made Several Threats To Take Her Life Before Sunday Night's Tragedy. WEEPS IN CELL AS SHE TELLS OF SHOOTING Weeping in a cell in the woman's section of the Norfolk County jail in Portsmouth, sits Mrs. Mary Copeland, age 20, a comely young widow, who is being held to await the action of the grand jury in connection with the murder of her husband, Leroy Copeland, 29, who was shot to death in their home Sunday night about 9 o'clock. Mrs. Copeland is charged by county officers with the killing. She was arrested by officers Grimes and Wood shortly after the shooting and lodged in the South Norfolk jail, later being transferred to the county lock-up. Mrs. Martha Simmons, a sister, is held in the same cell with her as material witness. Mrs. Simmons had not been able to arrange bail up until Tuesday night. Shot In Chest Copeland was shot once thru the chast and died about 15 minutes later. His wife is alleged to have told the officers when first arrested that she did not know who did the killing, stating that her husband ran in the kitchen and told her he had been shot by some one in a passing automobile. To a Guide reporter Tuesday evening Mrs. Copeland admitted the killing of her husband and in choking tears claimed she did it in self-defense, adding "I declare before God it is the truth." She said that in a scuffle with her husband who had a revolver in his hand and making an effort to shoot her, she secured the weapon, turned it on him and fired it. As far back as a month ago he had been telling her he would some day kill her, she said, and on the night prior to the killing did not come home. He returned the following evening, she stated and in an argument with her procured his pistol with the intention, she believed of killing her. Her sister who had walked home with her from a visit, witnessed the shooting. EFFORTS. TO BLOCK BATHING BEACH KILL WHITE BEACH ALSO (Christina Attacks Service) Washington, D. C., Feb. 26—Efforts made by the segregation section of the Congress to block the establishment of a bathing beach for colored people in a most favorable location near the beach for the whites and situated on the tidal basin in Potomac Park, a bill backed by Congressman Madison, and upon which there had been bitter fighting, was ended by eliminating the money from Congress for the white beach and for the new colored beach. Senator Lawrence Phipps, chairman of the appropriation committee for the District of Columbia, pointed out that "Full and equal rights for the colored people in Washington entitled them to use the existing beach," and thus scared one element so badly that they permitted the white beach to die for lack of money, for fear the colored people might either have their beach in plain sight or sue the white one as Senator Phipps had declared. The law never did contemplate any segregation in Washington. It got its start under the Wilson regime and was not prevented. Organizations and papers here fought and exposed it, but the victims of it in the several departments have put up with it for fear of persecution and discharge. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Total $300,000.00 SLATER TO DIE NEXT MONTH Unless Governor Trinkle commutes the sentence of Divie Slater to life imprisonment he will be executed at the State Prison the first week in next month.

(Special to Journal and Guide) Shelby, N. C., Feb. 25—Philip Roseboro has been recognized by the State of North Carolina. Four faithful years of service to his master in the cause of the South in the trying days of '61 will at last be rewarded. Back in the days of '61 there went away to war from South Carolina a young planter, who in the conflict by his deeds of bravery and fighting prowess won favor with his fellow soldiers and was commissioned—Captain John Roseboro. With the young captain was his body servant, Philip, who stuck through the entire four years with never a thought of forsaking his master, and at the end of the war trudged back southward to the home that had been, but was no more. Recently the pension board of Cleveland county, all Confederate veterans met and added to the pension list of veterans and widows 30 additional names, one of the names was Philip Roseboro. His application was approved and forwarded to the state board, where in all likelihood it will be favorably passed upon with the others for his service was the best he had to give, and he needs a reward, "Taps" for him will be sounded cre long, but perhaps at the end in his humble way many of his hardships will be forgotten in the pride that his loyal services were worth a reward.

Norfolk housewives are warned by the Director of Public Safety against a water filter peddler, who it is alleged informs his prospective customer that the city has ordered the use of filters on all ducts. Police are on the lookout for the salesman, whose sales skills, city officials believe questions the purity of Lake Prince water. The city has ordered no filters installed by anyone. The peddler, a white man, usually places the filters on the faucets himself or asks some member of the household to place them there, without even the formality of inquiring if the filters are wanted in that house. He then asks for fifty cents, or informs the family that he will call later for his money. If the money is not forthcoming on the second visit, the filters are taken off and put back into his pockets. "Manless Wedding", An Amusing Affair the Branches of the Vine Class St. John's A. M. E. Church prepared to a large and appreciative science Tuesday night an amus- enttainment called a "Man- a Wedding." No men were used, as the name magnifies, the parts that require the services of men in all actual beddings being performed by women costumed as men in full dress attire. And that's where the comedy came in; for certainly the very sight of women endeavoring to hold stern and set faces generally witnessed on bridegrooms and men attendants was laughable, the men-women had provided themselves with short-haired wigs and "Charlie Chaplin" mustache, except one, who paraded a French lip covering. The performance of the mock ceremony was occasion for more fun, the gray-fired, gray-beaded, long-coated man-woman minister using the words, "to love, to obey in hot and cold, wet and dry." Before the ceremony a delightful recitation was rendered by Miss Leonora Moore and little Miss Belatrice Goodman. Mrs. Griffin sang a solo and select reading was had by Mrs. J. Skinner. Mrs. Octavia C. Grir eatead was mistress of ceremonies. Queen Esther At St. John's A. M. E. The Great Biblical play, Queen Esther will be presented at St. John's A. M. E.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE NATIONAL ASS'N OF COLORED FAIRSHELD ANNUAL MEET HERE Visitors Hold Interesting Session in Bailey Park Annex; Problems of Out-door Amusement Discussed. The National Association of Colored Fairs met in its third annual session in the magnificent auditorium of Bailey Park Annex February 20-21, with Dr. J. H. Love, of Raleigh, N. C., president, presiding. A considerable number of member fairs and outdoor amusement enterprises were represented in person and by proxy. Dr. Love's address to the association touched almost exclusively upon the practical problems to be worked out for the betterment of the association and the conduct of out-door amusements. The educative value of fairs and their opportunity to aid immensely in the creation of better race relations were stressed by Dr. Love. More race concessions and exhibitors wherever such is feasible came in for strong recommendation from him. The presence of dice, cards, the greasy pig and all other forms of gambling at fairs and carnivals were strongly censured, and at the president's suggestion the association went on record as looking with disfavor upon any member fair permitting these practices to obtain at its shows. It was brought in in the general discussion that not only are these forms of gambling and fleeing damaging to morals, but affect the gate receipts of the enterprises. Too often, it was shown, first-day visitors fall victims to sharks and fakirs, and become separated from the funds they had set aside for attendance at the fair throughout the week and therefore are not seen on the grounds another day. The resignation of Mr. Cross the former secretary, was deplored and the splendid work carried or by his successor, Mr. Henry Hartman, was highly commended by Dr. Love. A lively and interesting roundtable discussion on the problems fair and carnival promoters among the race have experienced and the best way of meeting them ensued, much to the benefit of those present. Ideas were freely exchanged and Mr. Dan C. Michaels, of Michael Brothers Carnival, of New York, favorably impressed the fair men with the assurance that he is in a position to furnish a high class show in connection with their exhibitions. New York City was selected as the next place of meeting. February 22 is the date and the association voted to hold an annual ball following this meeting at same prominent hall. Renaissance Casino was tentatively selected. Mr. Michaels pledged the association an immense crowd at its New York meeting. He was chosen chairman of a committee on arrangements and Mr. J. A.

Gibbons manager, Eddie Kane breasted in from the West and dropped a bomb into the fighting realm, when he filed a challenge with the boxing commission for a match with Dempsey. With the challenge, he posted a certified check for $2,500. Gibbons challenge makes the second one filed within a week for a fight with Jack Dempsey, the other being filed by Paddy Mullins, Will's manager. Official announcement as to the action taken by the FROM THE WILLEY A. J THE PRESS WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. FROM THE PRESS BOX FROM THE PRESS BOX FIGHTING IT OUT The challenges of Harry Wills and Tom Gibbons, who are running neck and neck in the padded mitt race for a crack at Jack Dempsey's seldom defended heavyweight pugilistic crown went before the New York State Boxing Commission last Tuesday evening for consideration. Of course, the challenges were already before the commission, but now it seems to be a question of whose bid was filed first, or better still, whose challenge should be taken up first. It is generally known that Wills, the patient leather pushing stevedore has been a perennial contender for quite a while, but receiving not the slightest bit of attention. Now that Wills has repeated again and posted his forfeit money and Gibbons has also filed a challenge with the boxing heads, the commission has at last decided to take up the matter. It is the consensus of whistling opinions that the commissioner's decision will be that Wills and Gibbons must fight it out and the winner will take on Dempsey, the champion heavyweight and also champion fight dodger.

Now they want me to meet Gibbons in order to qualify for a match with Dempsey. If I have not qualified already, I'd like to know who has," he continued and we confirm that with compunction and some more. MONOSYLABLED PADDY MULLINS Paddy Mullins, the monosylabic manager of Wills' fistic affair is highly in accord with his breadwinner's sentiments. It has been said that Mullins does not have very much to say, but ever holds himself in readiness to post the checks when necessary. He ought to be arm weary by now from posting checks and taking them down, but he is just as patient as his Senegambian charge. Mullins, said, "Wills is the logical contender for Dempsey. He will not fight any contender until he gets a crack at the title." Whether Wills is gambling wisely or not remains to be borne out. HOKUM OR WHATNOT According to Jack Lawrence, Boxing Commission will lend help and Harry Wills match to be some time in June. It has come much credence in what the co-hokum thick and fast so much now goes in one ear and slid.

According to Jack Lawrence of the Herald-Tribune, the Boxing Commission will lend its support to a Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills match to be staged at the Yankee Stadium some time in June. It has come to pass that we do not put much credence in what the commission says. It has spread hokum thick and fast so much and often that what it says now goes in one ear and slides out of the other PRONTO! Then Gibson, who manages the affairs of Gene Tunney is yelping his head off because he believes a bout between Gibbons and Wills will materialize before he can get a chance to match his man with the St. Paul fighter. Lawrence says: "Gibson wants to know about this. He claims that the Boxing Commission, if it should take any such action, would be slighting Tunney, one of the best men in the light heavyweight division, to which Tom Gibbons rightfully belongs. Gibson isn't demanding an immediate match with either Dempsey or Wills, but he is prepared to insist that before Tom Gibbons takes on either of these two heavyweights he must box Tunney. Gibson believes that when the boxing commission takes up the heavyweight situation, Gene Tunney on his past performances, deserves as much consideration as Gibbons. "A match between Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills is little short of ridiculous. Gibbons ought to beat the best men in the light heavyweight class, which is his own division, before he mixes with the heavyweights," said Gibson. We would like to see inside of Mr. Gibson's head, after such remarks, "A match between Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills is little short of ridiculous." Gibbons has graduated from the light heavyweight class according to his statement some time ago. He is now confirming his activities and attentions to the top-shelf class. He asserted that his best fighting weight was 180 and more and that certainly isn't nice weight for a light heavy. Of course, Gibson's plans can be easily seen through. He's after the gate Gibbons will draw with Tunney. Tunney is the American light heavyweight champion you know. It seems and sounds funny that the manager of a champion should be crowing for a fight for his breadwinner. From all indications champions and their managers confine their time to dodging fights and fighters, especially if they have a "rep" like Gibbons. Gibson wasn't raring for a match with Tiger Flowers, whose manager was willing to let his Georgia Deacon fight either Tunney, the American champion or Mike McTigue, the celebrated world's champion in the light heavyweight class. You can't blame a man from trying to get all the money he can, but what's the use of trying to dodge the issue. Tunney and Flowers wouldn't be any suckers' fight and the gate wouldn't be anything to sneer at. Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 23—The Seminary Whirlwinds after winning five straight games, bowed to the Shaw Bear, 15-14, in a hard fought battle. The Whirlwinds took the lead when Patrick dribbed through Shaw's defense, scoring the initial basket. Armstrong tied the score, Wudbee gets one and Patrick another. From then Seminary kept the lead. With 15 seconds to play Armstrong broke thru the defense of the Seminarians and won the gme. At half time Shaw had the small end of a 10-4 score. The second half, Coach Martin's clash came back and out-fought and outplayed the preachers. Arm- commission was to be released at the regular session which was scheduled to convene Tuesday 24th. It was stated that the official announcement will be that Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills have agreed to meet in order to decide who will swap punches with the present champion for the title. The Wills-Gibbons affair if staged, will be the feature leather pushing stunt on the Milk Fund card, which is sponsored every year by some charitable organization in this city. A representative of the Milk Fund discussed the situation with Kane and Mullins and each manager agreed to go through with the contest.

He played the game as it should be played and with one minute to play, and four point behind, he was responsible for Shaw's victory. Incidentally, it was Armstrong who made the four points that tied the game and the one who broke the tie. To appreciate the thrills and intense moments you must use your imagination and see Shaw beginning the second half, six points behind, with Armstrong cutting down this lead gradually. The score announces the time—one minute to play. Score 15-11. Seminary attempts to "freeze" the ball. Armstrong breaks up the play and draws a foul shooting both baskets. Score 15-13. Armstrong draws another foul and shoots that. Seminary still clings to the lead by one point. The ball is tossed up at New Operator Of Attucks Theatre A. MR. JOHN T. WRIGHT ATTUCKS THEATRE UNDER CONTROL OFJOHN T. WRIGHT ATTUCKS THEATRE UNDER CONTROL OFJOHN T. WRIGHT BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON Mr. John T. Wright, of this city has taken over the Attucks Theatre, the "Show Palace of the South." Mr. Wright had been considering taking over the lease of this popular playhouse for quite a while, but plans did not take on definite form until the closing of the deal last Monday. The policy of the house will not undergo any fundamental change, elaboration on the old policy will soon be conspicuously noticed. Mr. Wright intends to push up the dates of the popular plays, which will make the pictures follow closely on the heels of their appearance down town. "Only pictures worthwhile will be shown on the screen of this theatre from now on," said Mr. Wright in talking to the press. There will be no change in admission. The best of shows will be played at the same popular price. Mr. Wright's first step towards obtaining better motion picture plays, upon assuming control of the Attucks was the booking of the spectacular cinema play, "The Sea Hawk," which played to a packed house an entire week at the Wells Theatre not long ago. This feature picture is booked for an early showing and the dates will be announced later. The first step also includes, the closing of a contract with Flourney Miller's new show, which is now successfully touring the South and at a meeting of the colored theatrical managers of New York City, he contemplates buying a franchise on the new colored circuit of which Flourney Miller, producer and foremost star of "Shuffle Along" is at the head. This means that Norfolk will be in line for a continuity of high class musical comedies. Steps in this direction have been taken before, but noting ever materialized on account, of the scarcity of good shows to supply the playhouses. The object of the new circuit is not only to supply plays for the members on the circuit, but to produce the shows in order to keep up with the demands. Mr. Wright is known to be a go getter and his immediate friends and others believe he will make a success in his new endeavor as he has made in others. From all indications, it will not be very long before the Attucks Theatre under the direction of Mr. Wright and his co-workers, will take its place along with the other show places of the country. Kelley House Manager Mr. J. E. Kelley, who has been with the Attucks fro mits beginning, is to remain as Mr. Wright's house manager. Mr. Kelley's long experience in the show business and familiarity with the likes and dislikes of the theater going public of Norfolk peculiarly fits him for the position in which he is retained. Orchestra A Big Feature Many good shows have been spoiled by poor music and many theatres have lost their patronage because of poor musical talent in the orchestra pit. It can be said of the present Attucks management that it has secured some of the best musicians the city affords, and who have had seasons of experience in showhouse playing, in the persons of Prof. Liggins, pianist; Ben Jones, saxophone and clarinet; Joe Jenkins, cornet; and Jesse Crowder, drummer. center. Armstrong gets the ball and from the center of the floor he sends the ball thru space. The whistle sounds—a "swish" is heard—Armstrong had won the game for Shaw. Watson was the outstanding defensive player of the game. His fast floor work kept the Shaw brigade's score down. Whedbee, like Armstrong, was Seminary's offensive demon, scoring 10 of Seminary's 14 points. Patrick scored the other points.

BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Newport News, Va., Feb. 24- The strong Newport News "Y five tonight pushed aside another college team when it came from behind to down the Agricultural and Technical college team of Greensboro by 21 to 17 in perhaps the best game seen on the loca- court this season. The well drilled "Y" team was entirely too strong and kept up a withering fire from the beginning to the completion of the team that sent the visiting team to defeat in its thirteenth game of the season. From the first minute to the last, however, the outcome was not absolutely certain, for at no time did the locals have too great a lead. In fact, A and T, once held a lead and seemed on the way to keep it. This game meant to the "Y" the making of one of the best records ever held by one of its teams. Tonight marked the eighth game point, and if won, the sixth consecutive victory for the season. The "Y" won, and won its hardest game, to make the record they so desired to make. Seven victories out of eight starts is that record. St. Paul went down to defeat in the first game played against the "Y". Then the locals lost their only game of the season against Hampton. Since then, Shaw, Union High, Union University, Va. Seminary and College, Va. Normal Institute and tonight A. and T. have been counted among the victims. SONS OF NORFOLK Friday night, February 15, the Phyllis Whectley Circle of the Sons of Norfolk held at get-to-goher with the Sons at which time the circle was hostess. A delegation consisting of officers of the Sons of Portsmouth was present to help enliven the occasion. Brief remarks on civic improvement were made by Rev. R. H. Bowling, Messrs. James E. Williams and president, William E. Carter of the Sons and Mrs. Annie H. Davis and others of the Circle. President Green of the Sons of Portsmouth, closed the remarks with greetings from his fellow townspeople, and a promise to co-operate with the Norfolkians in making the banks of the Elizabeth river a most fitting place to live in. After a session of good will and peace, the circle, friends and brothers were served an old-fashioned Norfolk supper. OBITUARY Mrs. Oliver Scott Fisher, formerly of Norfolk, but who for a number of years has made her home in New York, died there on February 18th. The remains accompanied by her sisters and aunt arrived in Norfolk Friday evening. The funeral services were held in New York at M. Calvary A. M. E. Church, of which she was chairman of the usher board. On Sunday at one o'clock services were held at the First Baptist Church, Rev. R. H. Bowling, officiating. There was a profusion of floral designs sent from friends in New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk. Rev. Bowling preached a wonderful sermon. The remains which reposed in a handsome oak casket were viewed by the large number present. Interment took place in Calvary Cemetery. Mrs. Fisher is survived by four brothers and three sisters: Mrs. Annie Jones, of New York; Mrs. Lenora Fisher, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Emma Scott Rowe, of Norfolk; Messrs.

It has been brought to the attention of the writer, the great possibilities of a semi-pro or amateur baseball league in this city and in going over the field, observing heed to there, an abundance of good material has been stumbling upon sufficient for a good nucleus to form an organization of this kind around. This has not been just recently noticed, everybody know of the possibility and feasibility of having a local league, but the least step has not been made in that direction and now the press is taking up the issue as it has done in other phases of local activities, athletic or otherwise.

HUNTINGTON HIGH ISSUES CALL FOR WINS FROM UNION F'TBALL TRYOUTS Coach Gunn's Newport News School Team Emerges Victorious Over Their Greatest Rival By 18-13. By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Newport News, Va., Feb. 20—For the second time in two years the Blue and White of Huntington high school flies in triumph over the scattered forces of Union high school of Hampton. These two teams, undefeated previously this season by any high school team, clashed in a brilliant battle before a large crowd of clamorous rooters at the local "Y" tonight, and Huntington flashed around and by the Orange and Blue of the visitors to an 18 to 18 victory. From the first tap off to the completion of the first period of play it was all Huntington. The last half found Union staging a rally that was at its height when the final whistle pierced the babble of the excited spectators. Union fought bravely all the way against a team just as determined, but Union fought in a lost cause as far as a victory is concerned. Sweet was the revenge that the Blue and White took on the Orange and Blue for the defeat handed it during the past football season. Even the dangerous rally of the visitors could not overtake the lead that Huntington had amassed during the first stanza and added to scantily in the final period. Huntington got 13 points in the first half to Union's 4; Union got 9 points in the last twenty minutes to Huntington's 5; but Huntington's 13 points made in that first half would have given her a tie score, so in no way could Union have except to have been on even terms at the end of the first half, or to have scored more goals in the last half. Union's second girls team defeated the Huntington girls by 17 to 11 in a good, hard game. Miss Lucy was again outstanding, making 9 of Huntington's 11 points. Miss Peedin and Miss Lockett were the best scorers for the winners. The entire lineup of both teams was good.

Somebody here is suffering with a complex, a wait-until-somebody else-does-it complex. As long as that exists, the city will be just as far behind as it was in the beginning. Norfolk is athletically retrogressing instead of progressing. The field is fertile, but no one seems to feel inclined to cultivate it and one good reason is, if those who promote sports do not reap a rich harvest in the first attempt they give it up as a bad job. The whole affair is a game and he who sticks to the helm and plays it wisely is crowned with success. It may seem along time coming, but it will eventually reach port none the worse after being buffeted and battered by the waves of chance.

C., Feb. 23—Coach Wattson issued the first call for spring football practice to begin Saturday, February 14. The first meeting was attended by some forty odd candidates for the 1925 eleven. At this time the Coach outlined the policy for spring football training and indicated something of the system to be put into effect in the fall. The players took kindly to this program and enthusiastically signed up for trial in positions of their choice. Most of the candidates indicated a desire to play in the backfield. Actual practice started Monday afternoon and has continued every day this week, being characterized by trials in the fundamentals of the game and some signal work. New applicants are turning up daily, which gives the coaches considerable satisfaction. Charlie West is giving the backfield as- Loof THE HAIR To keep the hair healthy, thoroughly cleanse it with Madam C. J. Walker's Shampoo Soap at least every two weeks.

With the passing of Priestly, star center of the past two seasons, the coaches are eager to develop several men for this position. It is gratifying to note the progress made by Kelly, Bartin and Hawes, all of whom have played line positions in former seasons. These men simply need the technique of handling the ball to make them good, aggressive centers. The coaches are emphasizing the need for hard work and consistent application to duty on the part of all players. There are those who come with reputations made, and others who come untutored. They are all considered on the same level and must show their worth before they are chosen for any position. Spring football practice will be continued for three weeks, during which time the coaches expect to have several scrimmages so that the men will have a chance to show their worth under actual playing conditions. The men who will play themselves in spring training will have quite an advantage over other candidates when the fall season rolls around, because most of the detailed individual instruction is given now, with the hope that the men will have sufficient basic knowledge to "cary on" with advanced football. The 1925 season's preliminary training will start September 14. This gives just two weeks in which to condition the men for the playing of the first game of the season to be played against Morgan College on October 3. Football Letter Men Receive Awards Washington, D. C., Feb. 25—The Board of Athletic Control through its President, Dr. E. P. Davis, presented the certificates and awards to the letter men of the football squad of 1924. There was an enthusiastic gathering in the Chapel on Thursday, February 12, 1925 to see the heroes of the gridiron receive their certificates of merit. The list follows: Theodore Blackman, Lester Braden, Albert Brooks, A. Brown, Louis F Campbell, Joseph N. Dodson, Raymond Makes, Letchen A. Hill, Edgar A. Long, M. Martin, George B. Miller, W.

LEGION TO STAGE ANOTHER BOUT There are rumors afloat that the American Legion Post with headquarters in Portsmouth is going to sponsor another leather pushing bout in the near future with an array of local pugilistic aspirants on the program. Here is hoping that the mess will not be like the one that was staged not long ago, when a bunch of unconditioned "hams" tried to give the public on exhibition of the fine art of self defense. Some of the fighters did not have to be hit. A passing blow would cause them to cave in like a paper house in a wind storm. BEST IN THE WORLD FOR SALE BY M. J. MADDEN & SON 571 CHURCH ST.

Williams, Points To Eternal Safety For Those Who Accept True Christian Faith. "God a sun and a shied," was the subject of an eloquent sermon delivered at the Queen Street Baptist Church by Rev. F. W. Williams at the 11 o'clock services last Sunday. The text was taken from Psalm 84:11. In the pastor's discourse he showed the congregation that as God's sun of nature warms the earth and gives its fulgent light to creation, and as the plants receive their light from the sun, and they with the animals must depend upon its rays for their existence so is man even more spiritually bound to look to God Jehovah for his eternal existence and happiness in the world above. "Not only is God our sun," said he, "but our shield. If we are God's, we need not fear, for He can and will protect David when Saul would have destroyed him; how Job was shielded from death; how God fought Paul's battles until Paul had finished his early work. The sum is the work of the whole system, and God the center of the moral universe. And as the sun withholds none of its heat and light from the planetary system, so our God keeps nothing from those who put their faith in Him." continued the speaker. An eager crowd gathered at night and was agreeably surprised to hear Rev. F. B. Mitchell, formerly of Pinner's Point, Va., now of Philadelphia, preach an uplifting sermon from Luke 12:20. Near the close of this service, Evangeline Dr. Charles W. Vilson, Bishop Delmar Md., several highly pleasing selections. A good Sunday school was held during the morning. The lesson was reviewed by the pastor. He emphasized the point that it is the duty of every citizen to obey the laws of the United States and asserted that the Eighteenth Amendment had been proved a success. B. Y. P. U. and Men's League were well attended. A Junior Men's League was organized and bids fair to make a stronger future citizenship. Members Highly Commend Work of Rev. H. Johnson Lost Sunday night the regular order of services at this church was pleasingly interrupted by members of the congregation who could not refrain from openly commending Rev. Johnson, the pastor for the excellent work he has done these twelve months he has posted this church. This discussion was led by Deacon Faulkner who informed the audience that new life had been brought into the church, nine new auxiliaries had been organized, 70 new members added, over $1500 paid on the debt and new improvements in and around the church, that all current expenses were paid up to date, that plans and specifications were being drawn for a larger and more commodo building, and that peace, harmony and fellowship charged over one of Johnson's jobs. Johnson had been leading the congregation. These statements were corroborated by other members, who are in a position to know. Following these encouraging remarks the pastor preached an impressive sermon from Ezekiel 34:17, at the conclusion of which two were added to the church. Wednesday night was regular missionary meeting, and a revival of interest in this branch of endeavor was very marked. circle is planning to make itself a powerhouse of good in the church community and state. The Willing Workers' met at the residence of Mrs. Candras Harris, Barre street, and discussed many new enterprises for the advancement of the church, a large membership was in evidence. All were deliciously served by the hostess. The Ladies' Aid Society met at the residence of Mrs. Bessie Perry, Middle street, at which time the members rejoiced over the tremendous success of the petitioned them $120, Mrs. Perry served a very delectable repast at the close of the meeting. Friday night services are being largely attended and good singing and preaching are in evidence. Twenty Quartettes Twenty colored quartettes of this city will sing Thursday night, March 12, at the City Armory for the benefit of St. Paul C. M. E. Church. These quartettes represent the best in Norfolk in talent particularly suited to the singing of spirituals and plantation melodies. The appearance of any one of them anywhere in the city presages an event of much entertainment. Undoubtedly, twenty such quartettes singing on a single night in a single building will afford a variety of pleasure for those who hear them. The entire first floor of the auditorium will be reserved for white people only. CHURCH ACTIVITIES METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Inspiring and uplifting services were held at this church Sunday. A large audience in the Sunday school listened attentively to Messrs. F. W. M. W. Bulet; of Elizabeth City, N. C., and Whittaker, of Portsmouth who gave very impressive remarks. At 11:30 the pastor preached an instructive sermon on the subject: "Leadership in a prosperous condition. The pastor again preached an eloquent sermon at the night service from Rev. 22:11 "Just as a man liveth, just as he dies." Rev. Manuel will reach here next Sunday at 11 o'clock. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Many visitors were present in the Sunday school here last Sunday. The pastor was out of the city and Rev. Love had charge of the Young Men's Class, which won the banner. Rev. Love preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock to the Home Mission Circle. Miss Mamie Diggs, principal of Douglass Park School was present and made very helpful remarks. At 3 o'clock the circle met again and enjoyed another sermon from Rev. Love. At night Rev. Harrison preached and was assisted in the conduct of the services by Rev. C. A. Harris, of the Christian Conference. JORN WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Several members who have been absent from the Sunday school for some time were present on last Sunday, and many visitors were noted. At 11 o'clock the pastor preached an inspiring sermon from the subject: "Take the whole dose of religion," recorded in Acts 20:26. ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH The Popularity Contest given at St. Paul C. M. E. Church Monday, February 23, 1925, was quite a success. Miss Augusta Tillery won the two dollar and half gold piece for selling the highest number of votes. BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH The large number of young people in attendance at Bank street were undivided in their attention in listening to a special sermon prepared for them by the pastor, Rev C. M. Long on the subject, Joseph In Bondage," at the morning service Sunday. Rev. Long's text was from Days 7:9-10. Taking Joseph as an example, the speaker strove to impress upon them how precious their souls were in the sight of God, and that he has special work for them to do in building up Christ's kingdom on earth. He emphasized the important fact that in their work they should enter upon the work before them in the spirit of holiness and truth, avoiding the Envy, Jealousy, and the conniving mind that represents so many things. "The childhood is sweet because it is unquestioning, because it is full of confidence and faith in itself and the world; when those of us who have grown up dare to question the eternity of God," said Rev. Love. Recounting the main events in the life of Joseph, he drew parallels, warning them if they would reach the noblest and highest type of manhood or womanhood, they would be called "the saint" and qualities of character exemplified in the life and conduct of Joseph. The pastor had them remember that the "sight of God was continually upon them in all that they do." The composed of young people for the occasion, rendered selections in a most creditable manner.

Zion Church or March 27, at 3:30 p.m. 1ST UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Friends Rally at the First United Presbyterian Church last Sabbath evening under the auspices of the Women's Circle, but not only a success financially, but was the occasion of a fine literary and musical treat for those who were fortunate enough to be present. The pastor, Rev. D. F. White, extended the welcome to the invited friends. Atty. V. C. Hodges, responded in a most happy vain. Miss Rebecca James recited very effectively. The Death Bed Scene of Benedict Arnold; Miss Mayme Copeland rendered in a very charm inb manner, two solos; Miss Bland Tyler and Prof. Twizeld enchanted with an instrumental duet. The audience rose and repeated the Twenty-third Psalm led by Miss Mabel A. Moseley. Attoney Foreman, most gracefully presid ced as master of ceremonies and Attorney Wilson proved himself at coaxing money from the pockets of cheerful givers. Rev. D. F. White pronounced the benediction. Thus came to a close a most delightful evening. Being the birthday of George Washington, the pastor at the morning service took occasion to deliver a discourse on "What Makes for Greatness in Merv." The subject was based upon H Sam. 12. 27. How the mighty fallen in the war perished. The choir was at its best and inspired all by the effective way in which it did its work. At the end of the service the pastor asked the congregation to stand as an appreciation for the splendid work of the choir. It was a most impressive tribute. WILLING WORKERS BOARD The Willing Workers Board of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church held its last meeting with Mrs. Louise Crawford, of Cumberland street. The meeting opened with oral remarks. After caring for the animals, and distressed, the outstanding feature of the meeting was the planning for a joint entertainment to be given by the Willing Workers Board and a Pig Feet Supper given by Mrs. Perkins. The regular routine of business being duly dispensed with, a delicious repast was served by the hostess, consisting of salads, ice cream, cake and punch. They will hold their next regular meeting March 1 with Mrs. Sarah Harley, 1020 Rugby street. BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH A good audience was present to hear the Rev. Joseph L. Hoggard, of Berkley, who preached a most wonderful sermon to the delight of all present. His subject was: "The True Vine and the Branches." At the close of the sermon, Mr. Sylvester Smith, of Austin, Texas, was the author of the Church. The Sunday school met at 1 p.m. and the attendance was twice as large as a year ago; the collection also was double. The Infant Class was so large that the superintendent, Prof. J. Riley Dungee, divided it into two parts. Miss Sheppard took charge of the boys while Miss Davis took charge of the girls. The new piano was a welcomed visitor. When the bell rang at the close of the program was under the care of Dr. S. J. Moone the school marched around the church, singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers." When the C. E. assembled at 6:45 p. m., a good audience was present. Miss Carlee Brown was in charge. The topic was "Friendliness and Industrial Missions". Prof. Dungee and Dr. Hoskins spoke in high tone of the topic by Principal Armstrong, of Hemington Institute. A nice paper was read and Mrs. Mary E. White made a splendid talk to the society. She is a new member and will lead next Sunday. Mrs. Loretta Lomax assigned the treasuryship and Miss Helma Dungee was elected to succeed her. Rev. W. Scott Miller, the pastor, began the evening service promptly at 8 p. m. You quite good subject: "Have You Bought Gold of God, Tried in the Fire?"

White and Mr. Whitted, were added to the church FIRST CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday in First Calvary, enthusiasm ran high. The Sunday school was largely attended. The well-trained orchestra added much to the singing. The slogan is, "1,000 Scholars by Easter." The officers and scholars have pledged to "Go get em." Promptly at 11:30 a. m., Miss C. L. Colden organist, began to play the keys of the organ, and it pledged forth enchanting music which called the saints to worship. After the opening, Dr. O. J. similar to the pastor, came in with the singing. It was a delight to see him still improving after having undergone an operation in the past few weeks at Dr. Carson's Private Hospital in Washington, D. C. He called the boys to come forward—and delivered his first message to them since his operation. More than 100 boys came from all parts of the church and stood with abashed breath to listen to Dr. Allen but pointed message. Dr. Allen Spoke the boys from the suburbs, the "Man with a Grouch." The boys seemingly enjoyed it very much. Dr. F. B. Mitchell, of Philadelphia, Ph.D., delivered a great message to the delight of the overflowing congregation. He was loud in his praise of the progress the church had made since the call of Dr. Allen, and spoke in glowing terms of what he saw, and heard Dr. Mitchell was the guest of Mr. Mary C. Steward, of 802 Avenue A, while in the city. At 3 p. m., Deacon Blow led the Covenant meeting; with his old time praises—made it heavenly to those who were present. At 7:30 p. m., the Communion Service was largely attended. Rev W. A. Baker was present and assisted the pastor most beautifully in the services. Calvary was lift up with his enthusiastic songs and remarks. The pastor on the job again the congregation hopes to push forward the well begun work with renewed interest. Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus Vn., will be with the pastor and deliver two burning messages next Sunday.

"Deficient leadership is always a curse to the people." . . Antishery men like Jackson and Lee or Virginia were dragged into the bad fate of the 'last cause' for lack of leadership. He was given a higher sense of human values in a majority of the men who guided the pre-War South." Thus began a sermon by Rev. Richard H. Bowling on the great theme of leadership and delivered to an overflowing congregation last Sunday morning. Using as a text Isaiah 3:12, he declared that the culprits of Isaiah's day were not men, but women, but men who were devoted to the qualities of leadership. Deficient Leaders "For lack of either efficiency or character, or both, in the leaders of great co-operative movements among us as a group, the Negroes of America have suffered repeated setbacks along every line of endeavor, political, financial, ecclesiastical, fraternal," said he. "If any nation or race or class can give the 'Amen' to Isaiah's declaration, surely it cannot do so with more justice than the colored American: Deficient leadership is a curse to the people! Words fail me to tell of our bank and stock corporation insolvencies, church ruptures, fraternal breaks, political disappointments, uplift and improvement organization failures. Not for that the masses failed in their almost blindly trusting people in the few leaders in the enterprises have not possessed all the requisites of leadership. Meeting the Need "Those who have a voice in the selection of leaders must see that character, that power to keep clean and straight and not to be swept by the temptations and clamors of the moment, shall rank as high in our estimate as technical ability. An educated whoremenger can work an adding machine! A college-bred gambler can write catchy ads to influence investors! A liquor-drinking professional school postgraduate can mobilize the people's hard earned thousands or draw a crowd with eloquent sermons or attract patients to an office! But who is going to safeguard the people's investments of money and confidence and goodwill? Who is going to protect the virtue of women and conserve the faith of youth in ideals? Placing Responsibility Facing responsibility "It is up to you members of boards of directors, you officers of churches, you delegates to grand lodges and supreme conventions is up to you to see that each by-night promoters get no chance to head or to contend to head our co-operation, whatever may be, financial, eclesiastical, political, fraternal. When you thus raise the standard, aspiring young men and women will come up to it. And even if they did not, it were better to be slaves in Babylon but learning the lessons of frugality and work and learning to put one's trust in God, than to be free men in Judah but sinking deeper and deeper in immorality, corruption and infidelity! Moral Judgments "Is there anything else? Yes. Let us remember God. For sins of evil leadership are not newly antisocial, they are against God. And remember, God's great laws of moral judgments are workable still just as his physical laws. Discoveries of the particular processes through which God works his will in nature do not stop the processes. No more do God's judgments cause fear upon the sinner because we are no longer so naive in our theological conceptions. Nations and races and groups and individuals go down today as of old. Bondage and death and poverty have not yet been banished from the earth. "And remember there are worse things than poverty and death. Cover up and conceal, so as to enjoy the unjust gains of crockedness, but conscience, my God' conscience! the finger of scorn, the shamefacedness of your children, the evil heritage handed down to generations after you are dead!" Making Progress In St. Paul $20,000 Drive During the past week, Walter Smith, who is soliciting for the $20,000 drive of St. Paul C. M. E. Church has received checks from friends as far as Georgia and Tennessee. His method of solicitation is by correspondence only. Rev. S. B. Clark, pastor of the church, talks so much about the $20,000 drive, it now seems as though his Gideon's Army of 143 members is making every effort to raise the amount. MT LEBANON BAPTIST M. LEBANON BAPTIS Services were good at this church throughout the day last Sunday. The early morning prayer妻 improves each week, and the Sunday school leads an auxiliary of the church in attendance and finance. At 11:30 a.m. Rev. Massenburg preached an uplifting attended this church in a body at 3 o'clock for its thirteenth anniversary exercise. The pastor delivered an eloquent and instructive sermon for the occasion. Presents Duplex Composition of Ten Commandments PROF. HUMAN SIMMONS Prof. Hiram Simmons, of Portsmouth composer of sacred music, presented his duplex composition of the Ten Commandments in oratorio at Second Calvary Baptist Church Monday night with fifty male and female voices. An audience of white and colored listened to the presentation, which was extremely unique and highly enjoyable. The feature of the affair was the singing of the Commandments by six separate groups in as many different forms and then the singing of it collectively, each group in its own form, with the company. Prof. Simmons has spent several months in the preparation of this composition, and there is not on record any attempt by any one before to perform this feat. The singers were tutored by him and having been well trained to handle their parts. Harmony entwitting from the 50 voices collectively was enchanting and unicobtly provided the audience with something in vocal music that it had not before heard to compare with it. Mrs. Mandonia Wright Jackson presided at the piano and took a leading part in directing the chorus. Prof. Simmons at the pipe organ brought from it music of rare appeal. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH The services on Sunday were interesting and helpful. Dr. J. A. Young, the pastor, filled the pulpit morning and evening. His subjects: Co-workers with God," and teachers with God, far much thought, both for the careless as well as those who desire to plumb the line. The Allen League meetings for Juniors, Intermediates and Seniors were well attended. Mrs. Bettie Cotton led the Seniors. Sunday school attendance was 553. Many of the classes held during morning or late work. The Norfolk County Sunday School Institute of the Norfolk District, composed of the offices and teachers of St. John's and Allen Chapel Sunday schools was held on Thursday evening and largely attended. It was conducted by Lt. James M. Collins. District Superintendent, assisted by Dr. J. A. Young Miss Mary L. Jones, Miss S. M. Hamlin, Mrs. Mabel B. Young and the Sunday school chair. Dr. C. R. Sanders, presiding elder and Rev. G. A. Mabel B. Young and the Sunday school made timely remarks. This is the fourth institute held in the Norfolk District during the conference year.

Those progressive land- lords are converting their old buildings into modern homes as rapidly as they become vacant. In over- instances the management the house is told to move out to give way for workmen who are ready to begin remodeling the in- progress for the past building. On the average, rent appears to be slightly higher in the colored than in the white settlements for houses of similar character. There are, however, numerous conspicuous instances, where owners of colored tenant property have considerably improved their houses or constructed new ones, raising the rent only slightly above the old rates. A casual observation in the upown section will convince anyone that rent signs are very few, but the more desirable property, but very numerous on the out-of-date houses. Street Paving Helps Another thing that has contributed to improvement in these sections has been the carrying out of a creditable street paving program on the part of the city. Within the past twelve months a number of short and cross streets that used to be veritable quagmire in the time of bad weather are THE NEGRO THE NEGRO In Art and Literature By T. Ferguson Inge and music. Henry O. Tanner, the son of Bishop Ben J. Tucker Tanner of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is our most distinguished painter. Tanner's art is religious and historical. His paintings are master-pieces of art. He is truly a master of his profession and is prominent among the most famous artists. His most famous works are his religious paintings. In 1906 Tanner received the N. W. Harris prize of five hundred dollars ($500) for the best painting at the nineteenth annual exhibition of American paintings. "The Baggie Lesson," "The Banjo Lesson," and "The Study of a Lion's Head" are of his noted paintings and may be seen in his institute library, works of this really great man can only be compared with those of a highly recognized genius. It might be he of interest for me to say here that as did our friend and founder of Hampton, General Armstrong, see, directly after the Civil War, something in the Negro that should be developed, and went to work on our Hampton Institute, so did John Wanamaker, a number of years later, see in this young Negro, Tanner, a future genius, and helped to pay for his study in Paris, where Tanner's success was first given important recognition. Dr. Frank Crane, one of America's foremost present-day essayists, says in his essay on "The Negro in Art." The authors in the forthputting of one's self. It means doing with that freedom and naturalism that comes only from genius and long practice, the thing I do better than anybody else. No artist has any other aim than to show his soul by his work. "There are certain qualities of spirit, certain shades of passion and conscience, which the Negro can 'portray better than any other race. There is a pathos, a tenderness, an edge of sympathy, a beauty of loyalty, and a genuineness of simplicity wherein the African excels. "A Negro, like anybody else, can be nothing so interesting, so great, so artistic, as himself." These ideas and facts which I have related should not convey the meaning that every Negro is an artist, but that the show plainly is the Negro has given, and is still giving contributions to the art and literature of the world. I shall conclude with a short poem by a Negro woman who was brought from Africa as a slave, and who was at the time of her death one of our leading poets, and whose poetry is very shortly after her arrival in this country. The name of the writer is Phyllis Wheatley. The poem is as follows: "Twas mercy brought me from my pagan land. "Twas land brought soul to under persistent demand of colli- tizens for better living con- dent and sanitary homes ed with modern conveniences marked the dawn of the un- sanitary tenement in Norfolk.

DANIEL LONG Local Tobacco Industry Gives Steady Employment To Hundreds of Race Women And Girls of This Vicinity Four Generations In a Single Family Represented Among Employees; Working Conditions Good and Sanitation At All Times Emphasized Between 500 and 800 colored women and girls, mothers, spinsters and maidens, the largest number of female workers gathered in any single industry in this section, find congenial and year-round employment at good wages in the branch plant of the American Cigar Company, located on Princess Anne路 at the intersection of Norfolk and Western railroad. The work of these women consists of stripping tobacco. That is, separating the leaf from the stem. The industry, which is one of the oldest and least talked of and heard of in this community, has an annual revenue of thousands dollars, 45 per cent of which is paid to colored women of Norfolk and vicinity. As a very large portion of the employees of the plant are wives and mothers, who are either the sole breadwinners of their families, or work to piece out the family income, it is safe to estimate that more than 2000 persons are afforded a livelihood thru its operations. Contented Workers Millions of tobacco users everywhere annually consume thousands of pounds of tobacco prepared by the hands of these women. But it is prepared amidst the most sanitary conditions that it is possible to have in an industry of this nature; and by hands that show even evidence of almost perfect contentment with their surroundings. The two floors of the building, the second and third, on which the stripping is done, present a most arresting spectacle. They spread over several hundred feet and their walls are virtually of solid glass. Sunlight makes one steady stream on the working floors and ventilation can be had in abundance, just as the weather may permit, or the circumstances inside may require. Work benches are arranged in cross rows from one end of building to the other, and divided into individual rooms. They are so arranged as to afford the worker the most convenient posture, and sufficient room is allowed each worker for free operation. Each girl or woman may stand and work as long as she desires and sit down when she feels like so doing, as at each work bench is an individual seat. Wide isles between the rows of benches provide plenty of room for moving back and forth through the building. The floors are very clean, even in the narrow places and corners. A number of workmen are employed whose duties consist solely of looking after the general cleanliness and sanitation of the building. In fact, cleanliness is in evidence throughout the structure. Begin Work With Prayer The women of the plant most of whom are settled and members of local churches, engage prayer each morning before the work begins on their. A real distance is lead by a number of the more devout workers. When the Guida reporter ascended the stairs, of the second floor, late in the afternoon, he was greeted by a sweet and touching strain from a religious melody. The voices of more than 300 women harmonized impressively in a grand old Gospel song. Deft fingers were working, with sensational speed on small piles of tobacco on their benches, but every face beamed joyful contentment. From observing these women and girls, their work, demeanor and their countenances no one would be attempted to say there was one discontented among them. Third Floor Takes Up Song As soon as the melody on this floor had died out, another Gospel song was heard to come softly and sweetly from the floor above. Ascending more stairs the reporter here found another floor identical with the second. The same sanitary conditions were found as well as another group of several hundred seemingly happy women and girls. On this floor, too, workers were continuously moving about their cleaning things. The toilets on all floors are in charge of care-women who keep them sanitary. They are large and afford use for several persons at a time. Large containers of drinking water are conveniently placed on each floor, and the reporter learned that hundreds of pounds of ice are required daily in the summer to provide the workers with cool water. Generations Represented In one or two instances four generations of a single family are represented in the plant. These comprise great grandmother, grandmother, mother and daughter. There are several women who have worked in the factory for 20 or 25 years and many more whose service periods cover from five to fifteen years. These women would scarcely consider overtures to work any where else. They have become fixtures at the plant, an absence on their part, a session for apprehension of the part of the foremen. They have so won the confidence of their employers through steadiness, loyalty and proficiency that they are practically assured of lifetime jobs. They cannot be persuaded to quit the factory and the superintendent gives every consideration to their welfare. Earnings Depend On Proficiency As the work is done on a piece basis, the amount of weekly earnings of each worker depends upon her proficiency. Beginners, of course, are not likely to earn much as experienced hands; neither will those less industrious earn as much as those more involved to pay them. However, the pay of all of them equals as much and considerable more in some instances as they could make in any other occupation in which they might fit. Contrary to expectations, no stifling tobacco fumes were present on the floors where the women work. Certainly there is the small of tobacco, which is but natural and but ventilation of the rooms and the washing of the tobacco leaf on the first floor before it is sent up for stripping, takes away 90 per cent of the odor. No heavy work is assigned to women. Men are always on hand to do the lifting and all other work requiring much strength. Most of the women take the munchies with them, it from vendors who especially prepare it for the factory trade. And from all indications there seemed to be no reason whatsoever that the moral tones of these girls should not be as good as may be found among their kind in such numbers. CALUMET BAKING POWDER BEST BY TEST SALES 2½ TIMES THOSE OF ANY OTHER BRAN The superintendent was prodigous in his praise of the women and girls. He declared that they are a fine set of workers, and believes that most of them represent a type of womanhood equal to the average. They all must be Christians, he said, because they so much enjoy singing religious songs. Of course, said the occasional them and information to the fact comes to his attention. Quickly, this sort of woman is gotten rid of, he stated. W A pound can of Calumet contains full 16 ounces. Soo baling powders come in 12 oz. cans instead of 16 ounce cans.

Over a third of a century has passed since that housewife experienced the perfect results that came from using Today millions upon millions have realized the same satisfaction that goes with using a perfect baking powder.

Y., Feb. 25.—Governor Phillip Williams of the Virgin Islands has been called on by the Colonial Council, the native legislature, to explain statements alleged to have been made by Police Chief M. J. Nolan of St. Thomas that "the niggers drown here don't want law and order." According to information received today by the American Civil Liberties Union, the popular demand for the removal of Nolan has been ignored by the naval administration. The Colonial Council has also passed a resolution demanding a thorough investigation of the St. Thomas police force and another calling for an examination of the franchise law. An amendment to the code of laws making jury trials mandatory instead of optional with The Commission on Interracial Co-operation, 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga., thru its Educational Director, Mr. R. B. Eleazer, announces its willingness and desire to put its annual report, "Progress in Race Relations," in the pages of reporters of the Journal and Guide who may be interested. In making the announcement, Mr. Eleazer includes this striking paragraph: "The effort to change fundamentally the prevalent psychology relative to race relations, replacing the unreasoning prejudice and suspicion with the Christian spirit of sympathy and helpfulness, is a staggering task and one fraught with peculiar difficulty. Nevertheless, if Christianity is to be vindicated, this treatment must be addressed. The responsibility rests on every leader of Christian thought." A letter or card requesting the report will bring it to interested Guide readers. the judge has been taken up for passage.

FEBRUARY 28, 1925 OST MINER FOUND FTER NINE DAYS IN EST VIRGINIA PIT Entered To Make Repairs On Pump And Was Made A Prisoner When Light Went Out. (By Prisoner News Service) Logan, W. Wig, Felipe—After wandering in the lower levels of the Lot Ain Mine at Crown W., John was here, for nine days, a race man, and miner, was rescued Fridays morning. When Robinson was caught to the top of the pit and received some nourishment he did his rescue after all Friday the day was not unlikely specially for him. He entered the mine, which has been shut down for some time to a pump. Robinson said his brief lamp fell into a pool of water, leaving him in abject darkness. Being unable to see his way became confused. He was in a room when found. He was taken to Logan hospital. It is believed that he had remained there much longer he would have been dead. He told officials of the mine that after he found he was lost he began to worry and hurry from one place to another and each effort he made to get out of the mine would result in finding himself in some entry. Robinson's unfamiliarity with the layout of the mine is believed responsible for his inability to find an exit. Friends of who are experience of Robinson's work familiar with the layout of his and its workings are said to have had trouble in locating him, when they learned that he was last seen entering the mine about nine days previous. It is said that when a number of his croonies met Friday morning query was made as to the whereabouts of Robinson. Some said they had heard that he had gone to Pennsylvania to work in the mines at Bendville, others said they had supposed he had quietly gone out of town for a few days. Thus it was learned that Robinson had been sent into the mine by officials, some time ago to fix the pump. In query was made at the mine office where Robinson had been sent into the mine gate and not reported on condition of the pump. A search party was quickly formed and in a few hours Robinson had been recaptured. Harrellsville, N. C. J. Harrelsville, N.

Use of short measures of round stave bushel baskets in the Eastern Shore districts of Maryland and Virginia has recently been brought to the attention of officials of the United States Department of Agriculture. "Use of short baskets in interstate shipments may get the grower or shipper into difficulty," the department says. "Many growers seem to think that if they use shipper manufactured goods, the grower or shipper is responsible. This isn't the case unless the grower or shipper can provide guaranty signed by the manufacturer or dealer. "Growers should require the person from whom they obtain baskets to guarantee that the containers are of proper capacity. The Net Weight Amendment to the Food and Drugs Act also holds the shipper responsible for marking the correct volume on the basket, and growers should assure themselves that the baskets are of such capacity that the marking on them is correct."

Mr. Marcus Garvey is a case in point. If he had been a little more guardful of the influence of his enemies, and given them less opening to do him, he might not now be serving time in Atlanta. We are bound to sympathize with him, personally in his misfortune. The New York authorities have begun war on filth shows in the drama and the movies, and they have public opinion with them. The play vendors like the old liquor vendors are hanging themselves and killing their business by catching to the lowest in stead of the highest and best in living. Public morals must be protected from the avarice of the managers of public amusements, who would commercialize the filth of the Nation to make a profit. Such a spirit is beastly.

The men and dogs that braved 30 degrees of cold and storm to carry antitoxin with which to fight diptheria to Nome, were heroes in the largest way: so were the people who risked their lives to rescue Floyd Collins where he had been entrapped in Sand Cave, Kentucky, which he was exploring, and where he died after thirteen days of agony. The efforts to save him were heroic. Men, horses and dogs—there are plenty of the elements of heroism left in the three of them. There is plenty of heroism left in the world.

It is being displaced by air service. Both for war and commerce it is predicted that air service is gaining the pre-eminence. All the Nations are recognizing this fact and strengthening their air service except the United States. Japan in particular is said to be going strong on airplane service. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE sympathizes with those in the Navy Department and the Congress who want to strengthen the air service as well as keep the navy fit, as against those who insist that the navy remains the main fighting arm of the Nation. It is our business to prepare for war along the lines pursued by other Nations with which we may have to measure strength. Is the public turning from Jazz to classic music, the old reliable productions of the old masters? Some would have us think that way, but the evidences all about us do not justify the conclusion. The snap and go in Jazz have gripped the people of two continents and we do not think that the hold can be easily loosened. London and Paris are both making war on Jazz and American artists can't do business unless they register, and they can't register if the man at the desk thinks they should not. John Holman, radio broadcaster for the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, says that there is less demand than formerly for Jazz selections and more demand for classic selections. Perhaps. But we think that Jazz has arrived to remain and to become an accepted part in the amalgamation of the old and new music.

Citizen Slackers Efforts of public-spirited citizens and organizations as recently evidenced thruout the country, to augment America's electorate stimulating the potential voter to perm his civic duty of exercising the right suffrage constitute laudable patriotic vice. In the choosing of public servants and the timing of public policies, it is essential to preservation of free governments that electorate representative of the whole people record its preference at the polls. Its privilege to exercise the right of suffrage is one of the cardinal accompanients of citizenship, and wherever it isured, it becomes a sacred and fundamen-civic obligation. If Afro-Americans are to attain to a-grown citizenship, it is imperative that they rid themselves of political slackerism, wherever possible, qualify themselves voters. The matter of parties is incital, but participation in the balloting is kept and binding obligation as well as the stated right of every American. Any person who has lived in this State years and in the city one year is quali- to vote by the payment of $1.50 poll and registration. The voter who has lived in Virginia only the necessary two years must qualify to register by paying year's' poll tax. The person just arriv- at the voting age is required to pay only year's' tax. The old resident whose poll has lapsed or have never been paid, but pay three years' back taxes, or $4.50 order to qualify. There are thousands here who can meet requirements of registration, and are invented from making the attempt thru- trip of political sluggishness and apathy, but surely this condition reacts to ward their civic progress. Efforts of public-spirited citizens and organizations as recently evidenced throut the country, to augment America's electorate by stimulating the potential voter to perform his civic duty of exercising the right of suffrage constitute laudable patriotic service. In the choosing of public servants and the defining of public policies, it is essential to the preservation of free governments that an electorate representative of the whole people record its preference at the polls. The privilege to exercise the right of suffrage is one of the cardinal accompaniments of citizenship, and wherever it is secured, it becomes a sacred and fundamental civic obligation. If Afro-Americans are to attain to a full-grown citizenship, it is imperative that they rid themselves of political slackerism, and wherever possible, qualify themselves as voters. The matter of parties is incidental, but participation in the balloting is a deep and binding obligation as well as the coveted right of every American. Any person who has lived in this State two years and in the city one year is qualified to vote by the payment of $1.50 poll tax and registration. The voter who has lived in Virginia only the necessary two years must qualify to register by paying two years' poll tax.

Slowly but surely this condition reacts to retard their civic progress. Officer Kilpatrick Police Chief Ironmonger is to be comed for his prompt suspension of off J. E. Kilpatrick, following his arrest a bench warrant issuing from Judge Idle's court, after the Judge had heard testimony of a defendant and severalesses accusing the policeman of making arrest and maltreating his prisoner withcause. The Court's action in promptly institut proceedings to bring to the bar the sed officer and to have the charges made Police Chief Ironmonger is to be commended for his prompt suspension of officer J. E. Kilpatrick, following his arrest on a bench warrant issuing from Judge Spindle's court, after the Judge had heard the testimony of a defendant and several witnesses accusing the policeman of making an arrest and maltreating his prisoner without cause. The Court's action in promptly instituting proceedings to bring to the bar the accused officer and to have the charges made against him thoroughly aired comes in for high praise. No less commendable was the part the Commonwealth's attorney took in this case to the ends that justice might be served. Certainly a wholesome respect for the law is inspired, and the problem of law enforcement half solved when the humblest citizen can feel that he too may have its protection. Regardless of the outcome of Mr. Kilpatrick's appeal from the sentence of a $50.00 fine imposed in Police Court, it seems pretty fairly established that he is not a fit person to be a member of Norfolk's police force. He was accused of unlawfully entering a man's home, enticing him outside, unmercifully beating him with fists and the butt end of his pistol and then throwing the man in the lock-up. The charges were sufficiently proved to convince the Court that one whose duty it is to preserve the law had grossly violated it, and the imposition of the fine followed. A jury of his peers may or may not find the officer guilty, but the jury of opinion from a public he is paid to serve feels quite certain, that he is guilty of well establishing his unfitness as a policeman. The charges on which officer Kilpatrick were convicted were as grave as those generally made against a blood thirsty mobbist. Certainly he has forfeited his right to continue to wear the uniform. The House We Live In BY THOMAS L. MATTHEWS When one views the numerous systems of treating diseases and their alleged cures and miserable failures, he is strangely reminded of the Six Blind Men and the elephant. These sightless gentlemen were at one time vociferously ventilating their opinions can, should, and must—if we would enjoy life—keep our houses clean. This can be done by drinking copious draughts of water, taking frequent baths (both internally and externally) and evacuating the bowels several times a day. Speaking of baths, it is not out of place to remind you of a good health habit. This habit is “to take an enema once or twice per month.” But more of this later. To sum up. Let us keep in QUESTIONS IN NEC By GEORGE WELLS PAY Author of the Children of the Questions pertaining to Negation anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be an aid by Mr. Parker in this column. Space will not permit or the Q. Was the wife of No. 2000 Boungarte a colored woman? Clean and honorable policemen compel the respect and cooperation of the best citizens, and when one becomes so involved in any sort of mess that affects public confidence in his integrity and uprightness, it were better for the department to be without him. --- Business As a Profession Professor Joseph Mayer of Tufts University made a remarkable speech. He has spent years in studying economic problems his word shows one weight. He said that the stress and the science of economics being placed upon an exact situation that some day business will need profession like law and medicine which the untrained man will regardless of whether such a skill be desirable, we do not think possible. In the first place economy become an exact science. The facts, such as mathematics, chemistry, are governed by unchanging; the experimenter knows the precise reaction of a chemical it cannot act in any other astronomer can time an eclipse, almost to the second, because the heavenly bodies do not courses. In short, every exact and upon a constant, as it is mathematics. There is no way of getting business down that fine. Hume even situations are too changeable. A man comes overnight in distant country an importer of goods from a city is ruined. Then there is Naidu with. An amusement park for a great season and along the coast of rain. The rice crop is real, and here comes a hurricane on a whole crop. No man, however, can foretell these visitations, yet the success of business depends on making business a learned acquiring a college degree, we the professor Mayer refers only to insurance, and the other high winds. We hope he does not mean a man who wishes to start a hairdryer first go to college. In fact, we think it advisable to require such even for the higher walks on. We talk about laws and constituting a country, but they do a really and politically. When you down to facts the thing that country together is that every man ought to go in business for himself. Professor Joseph Mayer of Tufts College recently made a remarkable speech. As one who has spent years in studying business and economic problems his word should carry some weight. He said that the art of business and the science of economics are finally being placed upon an exact scientific basis; that some day business will be a learned profession like law and medicine, from which the untrained man will be excluded. Regardless of whether such a state of things be desirable, we do not think it is realizable. In the first place economics cannot become an exact science. The exact sciences, such as mathematics, chemistry and physics, are governed by unchanging conditions; the experimenter knows in advance the precise reaction of a chemical. He knows it cannot act in any other way. The astronomer can time an eclipse to the minute, almost to the second, because he knows the heavenly bodies do not vary in their courses. In short, every exact science is based upon a constant, as it is called in mathematics. There is no way of getting business and economies down that fine. Humen events and institutions are too changeable. A revolution comes overnight in distant country and the American importer of goods from that country is ruined. Then there is Nature to contend with. An amusement park is all set for a great season and along comes a week of rain. The rice crop is ready for harvest, and here comes a hurricane, ruining the whole crop. No man, however scientific can foretell these visitations, yet upon them the success of business depends. As far making business a learned profession requiring a college degree, we assume that Professor Mayer refers only to banking, insurance, and the other high walks of business. We hope he does not mean that every man who wishes to start a hat store must first go to college. In fact, we should not think it advisable to require such preparation even for the higher walks of business. We talk about laws and constitutions upholding a country, but they do so only officially and politically. When you get right down to facts the thing that holds this country together is that every man has the right to go in business for himself. Slavery in South Africa but the Lord Mansfield wield in the High Court of Great Britain slave can breathe the free and remain a slave," Chicheney of the United States St. was declaring that "it is held in law and opinion that a black man that white man is bound About the time Lord Mansfield was declaring in the High Court of Great Britian that "no slave can breathe the free air of England and remain a slave," Chief Justice Taney of the United States Supreme Court was declaring that "it is held to be good law and opinion that a black man has no rights that white man is bound to respect." Those decisions were reached long years ago, when slavery was a fact and the best sentiment of mankind was in a death grieve with the monstrous system. Every now and again it crops out that a form of slavery exists in our Southern States, masquerading under many disguises but accomplishing its slave purpose of getting the labor of the victim at the least cost and without his consent and over his protest and often by administering punishment of the most inhuman sort. The Williams' farms in Georgia and the convict camps in Florida furnished during the past three years the sort of slavery we have in mind here. There are 7,000,000 Natives of the Union of South Africa, one of the constituents of the British Commonwealth of Nations. They have no considerable part in the government of which they are a part. They are regarded as aliens and separate laws and rules are made for their segregation and control. It is a form of slavery which Lord Mansfield said was impossible in English government. In 1902 an ordinance was passed requiring that Natives being away from their places of abode between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., should have passes—such passes as the slaves in the United States were required to have—but the ordinance has not hitherto been enforced as to Native The House We Live In When one views the numerous systems of treating diseases and their alleged cures and miserable failures, he is strangely reminded of the Six Blind Men and the elephant. These sightless gentlemen were at one time vociferously ventilating their opinions as to the nature, size, shape, etc. of an elephant. Just when the atmosphere had nearly reached white heat, it was announced that one of the beasts in question was coming and each one could "see" for himself who was in the right. The first man to be led to the elephant came in contact with his side and thereupon made the illuminating announcement that the elephant was "very like a wall." Gentleman, number two chanced to grasp the elephant's tail and immediately informed his friends that the animal was "much like a rope." Our third friend discovered that the elephant was merely a tree, mistaking, of course the animal's leg for such an object. And so on thrue the sixth. Thus each had the opportunity of finding out for himself about the elephant. And though "each was partly in the right, yet all were in the wrong" because of their inability to see the beast in its entirety. Just here the analogy ends. Though we are unable to see or know all there is about man, yet "there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth him understanding." Job 32:8. It is therefore that we may with some degree of certainty take up the subject of health. Further, we may confidently expect to see our efforts rewarded in terms of better health and increased happiness. Some one in a happy phrase, spoke of our bodies as "the house we live in." Since each of us is accustomed to live in houses, it might facilitate our understanding of this subject to use such a comparison. Thus a brief explanatory statement would not be out of place. First of all, let us remember that these houses do not belong to us. We are only caretakers. Two things are expected of tenants: first, that they keep the houses clean: second, that they keep them in good repair. Both of these are expected of us by the owner of our houses. If we were to keep our houses scrubulously clean, both inside and outside, sickness would be a stranger to us. (Disease, itself, is but an effort on the part of our bodies to throw off impurities.) But more is involved in keeping our houses clean than is apparent in first sight. Keeping clean not only means perfect elimination but it considers the nature, quality, and quantity of the things we take into our houses. Let us here observe that our bodies are made to accommodate but three things; food, air, and water. Anything that cannot properly be termed one of the afore, is a poison and should never be introduced into our bodies. It is essential that we keep this thought in mind, for if we would have health we must have perfect elimination. It follows that if we would have perfect elimination we must not take anything into our bodies that will even slightly inhibit elimination either directly or indirectly. One word more about the care of this "house we live in." Unlike the carpenter, we cannot repair any broken timbers (bones), or replace the worn out walls or ceilings (tissues), of our houses. At best we can only place the material there in the form of good food and allow our house "repair men" (cells) to use it as they see fit. But, like the housewife, we women. An order was issued that it should be, beginning February 1. The order created the greatest excitement among the Natives and there was much talk of resisting it. There was much war talk. The European rulers in Africa and Asia are doing all in their power by crushing laws and high taxation and brutal enforcement of laws to create as much discontent among the Natives as they will stand for without rebelling. They are reaching that point in many parts of Asia and Africa. When they have become aroused and united a conflict may be precipitated which will shake European, if not American, civilization to its foundation. can, should, and must—if we would enjoy life—keep our houses clean. This can be done by drinking copious draughts of water, taking frequent baths (both internally and externally) and evacuating the bowels several times a day. Speaking of baths, it is not out of place to remind you of a good health habit. This habit is "to take an enema once or twice per month." But more of this later. To sum up . Let us keep in mind that these houses are not our own. Therefore, let us keep them clean. This can be done only as we keep ourselves (the real you) clean by promptly repelling every impure thought and discouraging every unclean suggestion from friends or satan. If we do the owner, will come and dwell with us here and later allow is to dwell with Him in heaven. BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON (For N. A. A. C. P.) "QUANT COMPANIONS" By Leonard Merrick, Published by E. P. Dutton and Co. 811 Fifth Street, New York City. Price, $1.90. Mail, b.y. 2019. Leonard Merrick is a cult, a cult which some of our best known English novelists try assidiously to cultivate in the public. The edition to which "Quaint Companions" belongs has introductions by well-known writers. This volume is prefaced by some entertaining pages of H. G. Wells. "The chief fault of 'Quaint Companions,'" Mr. Wells declares, "is that it ends." And he goes on to say, "this book has not only the beginning and middle and end of one story, but the beginning and some of the middle of another." The intelligent reader would be the gladder if it went on to that second end, and even then, he might feel there was more to be said. For this book is about the tragedy of racial miscegenation. It is, perhaps the most sympathetic and understanding novel, in its intimate, everyday way, about the clash of color and race prejudice and racial quality, that has ever been written in English. Within his narrow circle of characters and incident, Leonard Merrick is a past master, and the Negro and his mulatto son, Elisha Lee and David Lee move through a Merrick world and meet much the same women that Conrad met in Quest of his Youth, and that the writer's other very human heroes encountered in stories of the theatrical world in England and of life among the artists in Paris. Here is the self-seeking woman with her power of destroying the artist, so delicately drawn, and the unsolfish woman who brings comfort and something of happiness to the disillusioned hero. HOOSIT? (By Anassociated Negro Press) 3. He was born a slave in Florida in 1848, and was sold at Columbus, Ga., for $6,000 Confederate money, during the Civil War. After the war he worked in a grocery store, quitting the store to become steward of a Florida hotel. All of his spare time he used for study and was licensed to preach in 1873. He became a Bishop of his church and upon his death bequeathed $250,000 to Race schools; HOOSIT? Answer to HOOSIT 2. Sergeant William H. Carney of the 54th Mass. Norfolk Colored Citizens Hold On To Canine Pets It is said that people who love dumb animals have something lofty in their character. If this is true the books of the City Treasurer showing the total number of dogs the license tax was paid on in Norfolk last year offer quite a compliment to the colored people here. The figures show that the majority of the canine population is among the colored residents, in spite of the fact that ordinarily, they are the people, in the main, least able to care for the beasts. They pay their dog taxes more readily than white people, states the treasurer, and are less subject to the penalties. A prominent Norfolk citizen, following the reading of this statement in a daily paper this week, said that it is only natural that the loyalty in the make-up of colored people heightens their love for the faithful dog. QUESTIONS AND ANSWER IN NEGRO HISTORY Anther of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. Was the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte a colored woman? T. T. W. A. Josephine, wife of Napoleon, was a creole born in the West Indies and of mixed African and French blood. Q. Does the Desert of Sahara touch Liberia at any point? W. L. K. Malden, Ohio. A. Look up a map of Africa. It certainly does not. The Sahara Desert is in the northern part of Africa and several hundred miles removed from Liberia. Q. What products are raised in Liberia? F. G. N., Des Moines Iowa. A. Coffee was one of the chief products before the war when the Germans held the trade, but since then the Liberians have let the coffee lands go to ruins. Hardwood, palm oil, palm kernels, and some cocoa, are among the present products exported. Q. Was Mohammed a Negro? F. R. G., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A. Yes, he was a mulatto, of the tribe of Koreigh and the House of Hashim. The Kories were closely, akin to the Ethiopians, the latter having founded the house traditionally. Q. Who was Clitus and what was his relation to Alexander the Great? D. S. A., Corinth, Miss. By the Tower Man for A. N. P. Frederick William Upham, former treasurer of the Republican National Committee, honored and honorable citizen of Chicago, successful business man has gone to his fathers. Mr. Upham was one of those tolant aristocratic whites, powerful in influence, who helped in the pinches but had his ideas of racial limitations. He was a friend to man, but cautious with his power. The editorial page of our racial newspapers, most of them, has developed with delightful satisfaction. We know some editors who take as much pride in the opinion, standard and typographical beauty of their editorial page as they do in their home. They guide it and protect its influence. There is a grand future for a people who develop such editors. "Sing a song of sixpence." Sunkissed America sings, and sings and sings, everywhere, at work, at school, at church, at play. The taxi driver told me: "I was singing up there so happy, I forgot to pull the flag." The singing in the cottonfields, the mines, the steel mills, is one of the traditions of American development. The barber shop chords follows the glories "in the evening by the moonlight." Out of it all we have Roland Hayes, Marion Anderson, Florence-Cole Talbert, and scores of others whose eminence reaches two continents. Sing. "Lift up your heads and sing." During the inter-racial exchange of pulpits on the Sunday nearest Lincoln's birthday, the choir of a racial church furnished the singing in one of Detroit's fashionable white churches. A white woman mémember sat agast with surprise when, looking up at the choir she discovered her cook one of the leading sopranos. We sing: the world listens. "Hope sees a star, and love hears the rustling of a wing." One of the close associates of Tower Man recently dubbed him a "Criminal Optimist." 'Sall right. "Upon this rock. I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Optimism is burned in my soul, and doubtless there are times when I have been foolhardy with it. Without it, I would be nothing. I would be a miserable creature. Let those who will relish sophistication, cynicism, pessimism and forever sing the blues. As for me and my house we will sing: I Want To Be Happy, and Want You Happy Too." Dr. George E. Haynes, of the (Copyright 1924 by A.
