"DEVIL" VISITS THE CHURCH REGULARLY AS CONGREGATION "Spirits," Ghosts, and Devil-Shaped Forms Frighten People of the Neighborhood. Church Forced to Close. (Special to Journal and Guide) Goldsbore, M. G., March-5 Weltown, an eastern section of this city, long known for its mysterious events and being the home of alleged conjure doctors, etc., is now being visited by an epidemic of alleged "spirits" and ghosts and devils. Yes, it is the truth, "spirits," ghosts and devils have all descended upon this once peaceful section of the town. A few weeks ago the neighborhood was wrought up over the news that a merchant residing on East Elm street had a bed that was really honest-to-goodness haunted. And, too, Giles Hicks, who lived on Isler street, went home one day and before partaking of his midday meal, his folks noticing his appearance, saw him begin to swell up and in a short time he was dead. Now the people in the neighborhood say that nightly "Sunny," as he was known, has come home and can be seen walking around the streets looking for the one who caused his death. And the people of the section are said to be afraid to appear on the streets after dark. Church Closed The Colored Holiness Church, East Elm street, just across from Willow Dale Cemetery, has been forced to close its doors, it is reported, on account of a devil that comes to church regularly as the members. Two weeks ago a woman evangelist was holding a meeting in the church when those that were present say they were almost frightened to death by a form shaped like the devil in pictures. Last Sunday the church was closed and services were held in the home of one of the members. The Holiness church here has a large membership, but some of the members who were present when the alleged devil made his appearance declare they saw him dance and "cut up," and they never expect to go to a meeting again. These incidents recall an occurrence in the Spring of 1921 when at a prayer meeting service the people arose from their knees and beheld a form like the devil standing on the platform. An account of the incident, and how the people climbed out of the windows was related in various newspapers. The situation in the neighborhood is causing the people considerable worry. Nannie Burroughs' Organization Favored Washington, D. C., March 5—Prominent among the contributors to the success of the new organization to provide a meeting place and sanctuary for our working girls, headed by Miss Nannie Burroughs, president of the National Training School, at Lincoln, D.

Houston, Richard Tillman, Lucius Peterson and Lloyd McNeill. Literary and religious exercises are provided as well as "open house" to provide recreation and social advantages to our working girls. Classes are taught by experts in several lines. Chairman Of Trade ,Week Committee E. M. MITCHELL DOCTOR FAVORS HIS ILLEGITIMATE HEIRS IN HIS WILL Carolina Physician Bequeaths Portion of $50,000 Estate to Heirs Born Out of Wedlock; Instrument Probated. FIRST INSTANCE OF ITS KIND IN COURT ANNALS (Special to Journal and Guide) Goldboro, N. C., Mar. 4—For the first time in the history of the State of North Carolina, illegitimate children have been remembered in a will, it was disclosed here on February 25, in the Superior Court when the last will and testament of Dr. J. E. Fort, well known Goldboro race physician was the subject of controversy. The value of the estate is said to have been in the neighborhood of 850,000. One of the two illegitimate children lives in Wayne county, the other near Clayton, and under the will they share with the brother and sister of the deceased property here, in Little Rock and Brinkly, Arkansas. No children were born to the doctor in lawful wadlock. The court controversy arose when Rev. J. E. Fort, of Tenn., brother of the deceased, and two sisters filed a caveat alleging that the deceased was mentally incapable at the time to make a will. Before the case went to the jury, however, the caveaters agreed to let the will stand upon the latter assuming all costs in connection with the case. The jury was then merely instructed to pass upon whether or not the instrument in question was the last will and testament of the deceased. The answer was in the affirmative and the two illegitimate children will receive their part of the estate according to the will. Local Undertaker Buries Infant For 25 Cents Washington. D. C., March 5—It has leaked out through the testimony of a policeman, that W. E. Jarvis, an undertaker and son of Rev. William Jarvis, a Baptist minister, recently accepted but 25 cents from a poor widow who wished to bury an infant baby and had no money. Undertaker Jarvis was touched by the pathetic plight of the woman and acted accordingly. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1925 SUFFRAGE CLUB IS OUT TO SWELL LIST OF COLORED VOTES Non-partisan Organization Will Instruct Citizens How to Qualify to Vote And On Current Issues. The Norfolk Non Partisan Suffrage Club has begun actively to arouse interest among colored citizens of this city of the importance and necessity of exercising their right of suffrage. The club is composed of a group of citizens who for purely civic interests of the race have formed it and are giving it to their services. The organization has for its purpose the stimulating of interest in colored people to vote, for providing them with the necessary information to become qualified voters and the instructing of them intelligently on the public issues in order that they may vote intelligently. Men and women of Norfolk are invited and urged to ally themselves with the club and assist in making its purposes realized to the benefit of the community, state the officers. The last regular meeting of the organization was held at the Community Center, Thursday, February 26, at which time a good representation was present. GIRL FATALLY STABS MAN WHO INSISTED ON HAVING A KISS Claims She Thrust Pen-knife In Assailant Just To Make Him Weaken; He Dies Few Minutes Later. The burning desire for a kiss from Miss Virginia Lewis, a good looking, jazz-baby doll, caused the death of Robert Thomas Wednesday afternoon. Thomas lived at 901 Nicholson street and Miss Lewis is lived at 909 Church street. Miss Lewis had recently returned from Palm Beach where she had been working as a waitress, and after being placed under arrest coolly told detectives how she reached into her pocket and withdrew a knife with which she had been cutting her corns a few minutes before, and how she thrust at Thomas with it while he choked her. To the detectives, she nonchalantly explained, "I didn't mean to kill him, I just meant to weaken him." The stabbing occurred in the kitchen of the Thomas' home about 1 o'clock. Miss Lewis was placed under arrest by Sergeant O'Brien and turned over to detectives Nowitzky and Springle and O'Neil to whom she told her story. Getting permission to smoke a cigarette before beginning her story, lighting it, and taking an occasional puff she talked. Two men, Guy Walker and Willie Harper, who said they were in the kitchen putting potatoes in the stove when the quarrel started, said Virginia was sitting on the (Continued on Page Two) APPROPRIATE CITY FUNDSTO DEFEND CONVICTED OFFICER Palm Beach, Florida Councilmen to Find Money For Aid of Officer Who Shot And Killed Youth. ASSURE MURDER COP OF APPEAL AND NEW TRIAL (By N. A. A. C. P.) New York, N. Y., Mar. 3—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received a report from Palm Beach, Florida, stating that after the conviction and sentence of a white ex-policeman to twenty years in jail for murdering a colored boy, the City Council of Palm Beach went to the unheard of length of appropriating $1,000 of City funds for the purpose of assuring the ex-policeman an appeal and a new trial. The young colored man, Henry Speed, Jr., was shot some months ago by Fred Frantz, the former white policeman, and died of his wound within 48 hours. The father of the colored boy left no stone unturned to bring the murderer to justice and it is said the various trials cost not less than $3,000. A correspondent in Florida writes: "The evidence submitted to the consideration of the jury must have been so convincing and damaging that they brought in a verdict of guilty against the white murderer of a Negro. "The judge imposed a sentence of twenty years imprisonment. But inasmuch as it seems to be an unwritten law in the South, but one as unalterable as that of the Medes and Persians, that no white person should suffer the penalty of any crime or injustice wreaked on a Negro, no surprise was created when the City Commission voted one thousand dollars for a new trial." The Palm Beach Times further reports that the contingency fund of the city having a shortage, the $1,000 appropriation is to be taken from the police department budget although Frantz is no longer a member of the police force. The Palm Beach Times states that the city council voted: "To secure the appropriation from any fund available." Mrs. Malone Backs Missouri School (By Associated Negro Press.) Sedalia, Mo., March 5—George R. Smith College here, an institution which has made its impress upon the Valley States is looking forward to increased usefulness because of the success of the financial campaign being waged in its behalf. Among the donors to the fund to increase the scope of the school's word is Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder and owner of Poro College of St. Louis who made a donation of $50.00. Buys New Car And Gets Fired Forthe Expense Los Angeles, Calif., Mar. 5—James Smith and his wife have been working at a millionaire's home in Hollywood for over five years. On their "off days" they were allowed to use one of their employer's four cars. All repairs and gas bills were charged to him. The other day they decided they wanted their "own" car, and invested the major portion of their savings in a "brand new" 1925 Buick touring. Thinking they were "one of the family," after showing it off to their friends they parked it in the spacious garage of their employer. Quite naturally next morning he wanted to know which one of his guests owned the handsome boat. "We got tired of using your car and thought we'd get one of our own," James informed him with unconcealed pride. "Oh, is that so!" he replied. That was Thursday. Saturday evening when James and his wife received their salaries, they were told their services were no longer needed. It is said that a white couple have the job now. NORFOLK'S MAYOR HON. S. H WASHI The Nation HON. S. HETH TYLER WASHINGTON The Nation's Capital Journal and Guide Bureau, Chrispus Attacks Press Association, 1501 11th St., N. W. Washington, D. C. Court Grants S75 Per Month To Mrs. Scott Mrs. Emma Scott, wife of C. R. Scott, owner of the Waffle Shoppe, and defendant in a sensational suit for divorce, in which he denies that he is legally married to Mrs. Scott number two, was awarded temporary alimony of $75 per month, last week. Southern Aid Agent G. L. Richardson, local agent for the Southern Aid, has outdistanced all other agents of the Insurance Company, with a weekly debit of $287.40. This is another instance where Richardson has topped all competitors. He is after a debit of more than $300, by which he will stand clearly ahead of any agent in any company in this district. Former Howard Head Elaborate exercises in the Rankin Chapel on the campus of Howard University, were held last Sunday afternoon, in memory of the distinguished services of the late Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, former president of the University, Frederick L. Fishbuck of the First Congregational Church, made the principal address, with Dr. Geo, W. Cook, secretary under the Newman regime, as another speaker. Music was rendered by the Howard orchestra and hymns by the student body. The meeting recalled very vividly the wonderfully uplifting and cultural vesper services held in Rankin Chapel under Dr. Newman's administration. He was a classical scholar and wrote many splendid bits which have been incorporated into the lives of Howard alumni. While alive, Dr. Newman was the storm center of Howardard factional bitterness in the faculty. Great School Program Provided By Congress The last acts of Congress have provided substantial sums for erecting big buildings and for the improvement of other buildings and sites destined to make Washington's schools among the finest in the country. The Business High School will soon have its own building by reason of provision for a new building for the whites who have outgrown their immense technical high school. There is some speculation as to the principal of that plant among us. First Assistant Superintendent G. C. Wilkerson is scouring the country to engage suitable talent for some of his projects because of the factional hostility to almost every local man named for the post. The new addition to the Armstrong Technical High School will be completed in time for commencement exercises. Congress provided an additional $50,000 to connect ETH TYLER NGTON n's Capital Mayor To Speak To MenSunday Hon. S. Heth Tyler, mayor of Norfolk, will deliver an address at St. John's A. M. E. Church, Butte street. Sunday afternoon, March 8 at 3 o'clock, under the auspices of the men of the church in observance of Men's Day. A program has been prepared in connection with the address, in which local talent will present other highly entertaining numbers. Men's Day celebration at St. John's Church is an annual event during which time the services are exclusively in charge of men. It is customary on these occasions to present to the public potable men as speakers to the end that larger civic interest will be served. Mayor Tyler's coming to this church next Sunday is eagerly anticipated by the large number of colored citizens interested in the growth of an amicable communal life here. the new with the old building. This school is destined to become one of the best technical schools in the country. Already its graduates are ip demand for skilled industry and some have entered business for themselves. The junior high schools are coming in for enlargement under the generous provisions made by Congress, and the congested arrangements at Garnet, Patterson schools in the heart of the city. You St. at tenth will be relieved by new buildings to occupy the whole city block. Manhattan Lodge of Elks Reinstated in Favo After prolonged discussion of differences, the delegates from the Manhattan Lodge of New York City, recently suspended by the Grand Exalted Ruler for obstructing a ruling made by him in connection with an election at which he presided, have paid their fine returned to New York City and understood the law under which the Grand¹ Exalted Ruler acted. All is harmony. The delegates admit they were misinformed as to their powers. It appears that in the recess of the Grand Lodge, the powers of the body reside in the Grand Exalted Ruler, and that he is empowered to preside at the election and installation of officers of any lodge, new or charter. Mr. Wilson is intimate with every phrase of the law of the growing order, having been identified with it since its organization 25 years ago. Sixty-five new lodges have been formed since the last Grand Lodge Convention in 1924.

Mitchell, chairman of the Business-Men's Trade Week Committee, has announced that plans for conducting Trade Week here from Saturday, March 21, thru Saturday, March 28, have been definitively formulated. These plans are not elaborate, consisting mainly of soliciting the cooperation of every business and profession and the public to help "put over the event successfully." It is not a lengthy program of plans that will make of the affair the hoped for success, say members of the committee, but genuine enthusiasm, cooperation and public appreciation that will make the event worthwhile. Trade Week here is being fostered by a group of colored business men, and the cooperation of the ministry of the city is solicited to help make the event one long to be pleasantly remembered. The chairman of the committee has received personal assurances from a number of the pastors that they are heartily in accord with the movement and have pledged their sincere support to it. Indications at present are that the entire churge of the city is unanimous in its approval of Trade Week and will touch upon its beneficial features from their pulpits several times between now and March 21. Days Assigned Also it is expected that the public will do every sort of buying they are called upon to do during Trade Week with the merchants cooperating, each day of the week has been allotted to a particular business.

NATHANIEL DETT AND HAMPTON GLEE CLUB COMING HERE Famous Pianist-Composer and Superbly Trained Singers Will Appear at St. John's A. M. E. Church March 27. R. Nathaniel Dett, composer-pianist and Director of Music of Hampton Institute, will appear in recital with the male Glee Club of the Institute at St. John's A. M. K. Church Friday night, March 27. Mr. Dett and the Glee Club have appeared in Norfolk with wonder-fur success before, but so enclosed is the local public to this master of music and his superbly trained singers that any announcement of their coming here is greeted with extreme delight by music patrons of local contiguous territory. Music critics of national repute have unhesitatingly praised R. Nathaniel Dett and the Hampton Institute Glee Club, but probably there has been no more striking recommendation of them given by any writer than that written by Mr. Douglass Gordon in April two years ago, when he was editor of the Ledger-Dispatch, on the appearance of the musical group at the City Armory. Wrote Mr. Gordon: "Most people who have been listening to music for years have heard a deal of chorus singing, some of it fine chorus singing, but few have heard a best possible chorus singing of specific type unless they have and the Hampton Institute Glee Club. Remembering always that Hampton Institute Glee Club is composed of less than thirty young men with untrained voices, that it includes no spectacular voices, that singing, it is assumed, is with them only an incident of their study and training at the Institute, then it is repeated that as those young men sang in the Armory Hall last night under the brilliant direction of Mr. R. Nathaniel Diett, head of the Music Department of the Institute, they gave example after example, illustration after illustration, of the chorus singing. It might be expected that they would sing Negro spirituals, or arrangements of Negro folk songs, with necular and special effectiveness—and they did. But they sang modern English songs with precisely the same degree of effectiveness. In other words, the fact that they are entitled to be pupils of the Hampton Institute had, and has, nothing on earth to do with their remarkable work. They sang with the same degree of positive excellence that would have been expected of a Russian or German male chorus—and would rarely have been realized. There was not a flaw in their chorus singing, at one. Speaking of the voices again, for a moment, the power and profundity of those masses were enough to make sick the heart of any church haritone. "The features apart from the extraordinary chorus work, were the numbers of Mr. Dett. His competitions—aside from his arrangements—are scholarly always, and, according to the mood, are either beautiful as his Barcarole from the suite "In the Bottoms" and "Mammy" from his "Magnolia" suite, or the irresistibly infectious, as his "Jula." As an executor, he is—well, it's a joy to any to hear him play as well as a thing of amazement; touch, power, rhythm, understanding, technique—all are his."

The main purpose to be served, state the promoters of the movement, is to make of it a huge success. Business men are enthusiastic over the wonderful possibilities for good involved in Trade Week, and their enthusiasm is becoming infe- fectious. The public is manifesting considerable interest in the coming event. Present indications point to remarkable success for the first event of its kind held here under "initial auspices."

Getting away with afflying start gaining nothing, but the applause of the spectators, Huntington High School was held to a one point lead by the recuperating Community Center quint at Phyllis-Wheatley Garden Wednesday night in a fast, furious and exciting free for all and anybody may win mele, which brought the house to its feet on several occasions. When the battled scarred beskeeteers emerged from the field of contest the final score was 12-11. In this game, the local five staged a wonderful comeback and threatened to send the visitors back home with the small end of the tallying, Huntington, who won from the Community Center in Newport News a few weeks ago by a score of 21-3 found an entirely new foe and the cagers were taxed to their utmost to forge ahead in the latter stages of the game. The opening half was featured with Huntington's fast get-away brought about by accurate and well timed passing which was soon broken up by the locals before a score could be registered. How ever, Huntington drew first blood when P. Ridley made good with a free throw. Another tally was soon made by Huntington making the count 3-0. Bibbins sinks a free chance and follows with an angle shot from the side court to even matters. Ponton soon broke the tie with a fire throw and both quints passed, pivoted and dribble for the remainder of the half with out scoring again and at half time. Huntington was leading with one point lead. 4-3. At the opening of the second stanza, Wilkins sifted through the visitor's defense and registered the first basket in his half giving Center the one point lead. P. Ridley evened the count with a free throw and Spivey followed with another placing Huntington ahead. L. Ridley was successful in adding to the advantage at Huntington. Bibbins makes good on a free throw bringing the local's total to within one point of the Shipbuilders at Bailey sinks another free throw evening the count at eight all. The lead in point scoring alternated until the sound of the timer's pistol ending the fray with Huntington one point in the lead. The game was a free for all and there was no room for picking win. FROM THE WILLEY A. J. NOW P If you haven't heard and sc this the once over. "Patience May Yet" "Knocking Out Flow" "The Dodging Leath" Dempsey "The Title Claimer" FROM THE PRESS BOX NOW PLAYING If you haven't heard and seen the latest it will pay you to give this the once over. "Patience May Yet Win" by Harry Wills "Knocking Out Flowers" by Jack Delaney "The Dodging Leather Pusher"—William Harrison Dempsey THE FOLLY OF INDISCRETION For the second time Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Deacon has taken it on the button and done a circus flop at the hands of Delaney. The question now is what's the matter with Flowers? Here and there you can hear these remarks: "I can't seem to understand the Flowers-Delaney bouts." "Whatcha think about Flowers?" "I don't know." "Things seem rather queer." Some try to offer alibis and excuses, while others try to reason out matters. Some seem to think that the fighting sensation of 1924 has insulged too much in the padded mitt game, which seems to be very good food for thought and consideration. This subject has been touched on so much until copy on it is about exhausted. There may be room for more light to be thrown on the subject, but what's the use. It all leads to the same thing, and on passing from this to something else, I'll stop to say that Flowers has been, like many other of our fighters, guilty of the folly of indiscretion. No argument is offered to back up this statement as the evidence is plain enough and no further substantiation is necessary.

Here and there you can hear these remarks: "I can't seem to understand the Flowers Delaney bouts." "Whatahe think's about Flowers?" "I don't know." "Things seem rather queer." Some try to offer alibis and excuses while others try to reason out matters. Some seem to think that the fighting sensation of 1924 has indulged too much in the padded mit game, which seems to be very good food for thought and consideration. This subject has been touched on so much until copy on it is about ex hausted. There may be room for more light to be thrown on the subject, but what's the use. It all leads to the same thing, and on pass ing from this to something else, I'll stop to say that Flowers has been like many other of our fighters, guilty of the folly of indiscretion. No argument is offered to back up this statement as the evidence is plain enough and no further substantiation is necessary. Both Flowers and Delaney have glass jaws, but the former does not try and protect his from stray blows. Delaney knows what a good gook on the button will do for him and he contents himself with staying away from his opponent and sending in his wallpops by wireless whereas the Tiger seems to forge about his jaw in thinking about the other fellow's and goes in for close range fighting with both fists flying. If his opponent is fortunate in sitting through those devastators and connects with the button, the Georgian is a goner. Delaney can whan and no fooling. S funny why all the white boys run to the colored boys when they get in trouble or when they think so. Oh yes, I know you're wondering what I'm talking about. It's just this, nearly every time a white fighter is lined with a tough foe, especially those of a different shade they never fail to connect with a race scraper for a different shade. Luis Angel Firpo, the South American "hamfat" even went so far to engage Bill Tate as his trainer while preparing for Wills. In most cases our fighters are good enough to get these babies in condition for a hard going assignment, but are not good enough to line up with in a regular hout—remember I said in most cases. More of that later. Now, Jack Delaney, when he was training for his fight with Tiger Flowers, he engaged Larry Estridge, the hard-hitting porter and left-handed all over, to acquaint him with the doings of the gentleman who used an opposite side wallop. Flowers is of this type of scraper who uses his left wing with vigor and vim. The "so-called" heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey has had in his camp while training for important engagements, Kid Norfolk, Jamaica Kid, George Godfrey, Bill Tate and several other lesser lights of the game. Those fellows must be learning a thing or two, because the practice goes on from year to year and these boys win too. That's the only logical answer to the why—these fellows are learning something. And here's another question, some of the followers of the game want to know why do our fellows serve in the camps of these fighters and especially when they are lined up to do their stuff with our men of the cauliflower car industry. "Why don't they refuse and confine their time to fightings, instead of helping to condition somebody else?" "If they're good enough to condition 'em, they're good enough to fight 'em in a sure enough match." Well spoken, but we must remember this, if some of us can cram it down in our cranium, that boxing is a business like any other business and when a man is in a business, he's in there for business that is, if you don't know what I mean, he's in it for the money and any means that can be resorted to cash in on a deal legitimately, it is done PDQ. These fellows—I mean ours, get more than a plate of ham and eggs when they are employed as sparring partners, which is more than they would be getting doing nothing waiting for a fight to materialize. It's only once in a while that they get a goodly sum fighting one of their own brothers. It's only when they fight the white fighters that they get anything worth talking about and that's none too often unless he's a sensational sensation and they don't sprout and grow every day. FIGHTING BOB Fighting Bob Lawson is a new find of Walk Miller, the manager of Tiger Flowers. Lawson hails from way down South in Alabama and since he connected with Miller he's been knocking 'em ragged and making 'em like it. He is a light heavy, and it is believed that in a short while he will be doing his stuff to perfection. Bob better not let Miller carry him aling too fast or he will surely meet with the same calamity as his versatile stable mate. PAGE FOUR --- ners. It was a case of anybody may win. Such was the improvement made by the Community Center team since its game with Huntington across the pond. Charles Black, former captain of the local quint is now directing the destinies of the Center Cagers. He has had charge of the coaching since the trip to Hampton in which the local five was defeated by Union St. High School 21-8. Huntington downed Union St., which shows how much progress Community Center has made in the short time that elapsed since the game Thursday of last week. Arnette Bibbins, of Hampton Institute is a new find of the local beskeeter and has added much strength to the aggregation. Centers—11 Huntington—12 Referee: Brown, (Hampton); scorer, Sandler, (Maury H. S.) Security Employment Manager Sees Labor Conditions Improving In discussing the employment situation locally with the representative of this paper last week Mr. Riordan, manager of the Security Employment Bureau in the Flatiron Building, stated that he believed the labor situation here to be about normal, but gradually growing better. His office, he said, also not handling applications for common labor on account of the prohibitive State licensed required to engage in that sort of labor placement, had placed 2,200 workers last year in domestic service, and as clerks, bookkeepers, stenographers, typists, porters, etc. And in this large placement an 80 percent stability had been noted, he said. This implies that 80 percent of the workers his office placed have proved satisfactory to their employers and have found occupations satisfactory to themselves. Mr. Riordan stated that oftimes he receives requests for labor from out-of-town employers and at the same time has knowledge of men directly in need of work for the support of their families, yet, however, he is unable to connect such men with these known prospective employers on account of the law prohibiting the recruiting men for labor outside of the State without the payment of a license tax of $5,000. Thru a test case in the local courts, Mr. Riordan has succeeded in securing a judicial ruling that places the kind of workers he supplies outside of the labor class. This ruling serves to elevate a cook from the classification of laborers likewise; bellhops, porters, waiters maids, scanners, etc., are not laborers according to this construction.

Glee Club Director [Name] WALTER C. FULFORD ```markdown ``` The Philharmonic Glee Club of Norfolk, a recently organized aggregation of male singers, composed of a group of business and professional men and others whose occupations make singing to them an incident in their life's routine, appeared in its initial recital at St. John's A. M. E. Church Thursday night, February 26, under auspices of the Chi Beta Chi Literary and Social Club. Prof. Walter C. Fulford, organizer of the Glee Club is the director. Altho an initial recital, the performance given by these singers was in every sense highly creditable. In truth, it was highly entertaining and worth the price. In the condition of the classical songs their efforts were praiseworthy, inasmuch as in several numbers they were as good as many musical choruses visiting here with a wide reputation. Many a Norfolk music patron has heard singing singers perform in no way comparing with the talent by members of the Norfolk Philharmonic Glee Club. The solo numbers were all high class, and one or two of them actually took first rank. In the singing of the spirituals the chorus was enchanting. Melody, rhythm, and harmony were all theirs. These songs were sung with a deep appeal the audience seemingly never tiring of them. Encores were prolific in both the classical and spiritual section of the program, the applause being of a sincere sort. With the rehearsals under the competent direction of Prof. Fulford, their leader, this club promises to become one of Norfolk's favorite musical groups. Mr. Fulford is a musician of no small ability and his efforts at giving Norfolk a male Glee Club are considered in the nature of semicivic service. A large crowd greeted the singers in this their first recital. All their krossword puzzles to solve.

Both knockouts were dealt in the fourth round, but Patsey Haley, the referee, became confused when Flowers went into his collapse and ruled that Delaney had fouled him, a decision which aroused such an ugly temper in the packed house that it was reversed and the fighters were called from their corners, again to resume the fight. After another minute of fighting, Delaney shot his accomplished straight right smash against the Tiger's jaw and sent him down again, this time officially and for the count.

Hampton Sees The Denishawn Dancers Hampton, Va.,—Under the auspices of the Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute, of which Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett is the director, Ruth St. Denis, Ted Shawn, and the Denishawn Dancers recently gave a delightful performance at Ogden Hall before a tightly packed and enthusiastic audience. The program was divided into four sections, the first being "musical visualization" or interpretations of music of Chopin, Brahms, Liszt, Scriabin, and Strauss. The grace and rhythm of the dancers held the audience spellbound, especially in the Brahms' "Waltz" and the Liszk-biebrastua as interpreted by Ruth St. Denis, and the Chopin "Valse a la Loie" by Anne Douglass and Georgia Graham who appeared draped in the misty folds of many yards of rainbow-hued cliffen.

HAMPTON QUINT DROPS GREAT BASKETBALL GAME IN EXTRA GO By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Hampton, Va., Feb 28 - The Blue and White of Hampton, flying in triumph above everything until today, came out of the most sensational, if not the greatest game ever played here lowered by the Maroon of Morehouse. The score was tied at half time; two field goals by Hampton substitutes, one the star of the game, tied the score at about one minute of the fianl gun; a Morehouse played fouled, but the Hampton player missed the free throw with twenty five seconds to play. An extra period was played and Morehouse won by three points, while Hampton met her downfall in the overtime period by inaccuracy in shooting foul shots. The final score was 18-15 favoring Morehouse. This was the fifth victory over Hampton for the cohorts of Coach Harvey. Hampton was handcapped by the absence in the lineup of her best player, while Morehouse's lineup was practically the same as it has been for several seasons. Despite this, it was an even battle all the way. No team ever had an advantage that could not have been swept away by one of the many rallies. Beaten by no team in the C. I. A. A., and thus champions for the second consecutive season, Hampton fought the powerful live from the far South every inch of the way, fighting its aggressive, deadly foe to the last ounce of her warriors' endurance in a battle that was a majestic contest every minute of the fray. But the breaks were against her, and Morehouse, always a splendid opponent seized these breaks and swept on to per- IN MEMORIAM In memory of my dear mother, Mrs. Mary Bailey, who died February 21, 1924.

Teste: C. M. Robertson; Clerk. Howell and Wilson, p. q. by A. M. haps her greatest victory in her long and successful campaign. Hampton, while defeated, was by no means disgraced, and yielded to her worthy foeman, only after the bitterest struggle in the history of the court duels between these inveterate opponents. This counted Morehouse's 14th victory this season to 4 defeats. Hampton won ten straight victories before losing today. Detailed records printed elsewhere.) How It Happened Thruout Captain Chester Jones, leading the stalwart Seasiders, opened the fiery attack that seemed destined to send Hampton thru for a victory. Cutting in for a shot, he fouled and made good a throw from the foul line, putting Hampton ahead 1-0. Coach Williams said before the game, "we must take desperate, daring chances." He did, and with a player who had not been tried under the sort of attack which Morehouse presented. Clanence Lee Alexander, of Plainfield, N. J., is this player, and time after time he almost snatched victory from defeat. On a streaking pass from Thorne, who also was outstanding for his playing today, Alexander scored his first sensational field goal of the game. The score was flashing here, there, everywhere, breaking up Morehouse passes, and in short, was making himself a fine example for his teammates. He missed a shot by inches. Lambright duplicated. Then Morehouse opened an attack that resulted in two points when Traylor, who scored the final two Morehouse points, sank a goal. Excaptain Langston made his one cainly slip of the game when he passed to Bailey, who scored for Morehouse, sending her ahead 4-3. But again came one of Alexander's thrilling shots and Hampton was ahead by 5-4. He followed this with a free throw to give Hampton a 2 point lead. Langston broke up a sure shot, but Morehouse was playing brilliantly and Archer tied the score with a field goal. The strain was great and shots were being thrown over the backboard. McNichols went in for Alexander who weakened a little, and Brown substituted for Thorne. McNichols went to center and Brown to forward. Morehouse fouled and McNichols broke the tie which 6-6. Bailey was fouled and tied the score on a free throw just as the first half ended with both teams in a 7-7 deadlock. Second Half Brilliant Morehouse scored first in the last half and went ahead on Archer's shot, but Captain Jones repeated with a beautiful shot from near midfloor and tied things up again at 9-9. Here Morehouse initiated a rally that might have given her the victory but for the undawned spirit and fine playing of the entire Seasider lineup, led by Eugene Brown and Alexander, two subs. Clarke sank a difficult field goal and Morehouse was ahead. Lambright looped one that went in and then out of the basket. Just here Trayler nipped a threatening Hampton rally by some great guarding. Bailey, who scored the points that tied the score at half time and broke the tie in the extra period, caged a goal. Eight minutes had elapsed. Thorne was sent in for Brown. Lambright, who despite his otherwise great playing was unable to score till now intercepted a pass and caged another goal of the type that causes superlatives to pall. Score now 13-11 in favor of the Maroon. A free throw was made by Lambright, but did not count because someone stepped in the circle Sykes retaliated with a field goal and with less than 5 minutes to play Morehouse was ahead, 15-11. Brown and Alexander Tit It into the picture at this point stepped the youth who was destined to give Hampton an even chance to win. He was Alexander, as previously mentioned, and he is a freshman. But no longer is he unknown. But along with Alexander was another player who aided in a very material way—and he is also a sub, by name, Brown. With Morehouse killing time, Brown intercepted a pass, weaved his way down by superb dribbling to within fifteen feet of the basket and sank a goal that enabled the next to tie the score. Someone looped one at the basket; Alexander flashed under the basket, dribbed to the sideline, and let loose the shot that tied up things at 15-15. Time was called. Wild cheering and earnest, "Fight' Hampton, Fight' rang thru the gym. Play was resumed; Thorne took a ball literally out of the Morehouse's basket; Bailey committed a technical foul by slamming the ball down. Here was Hampton's real chance—over on the visitors bench Morehouse rooters waited tensely—but under the strain Jones missed the free shot, and the gun fired. In the extra period Hampton missed several free shots that would have won, while Bailey, with a free throw and Traylor with a field goal gave Morehouse the winning-points and a victory that was as sweet and well won as could be wished. The way both teams played—Jones, Thorne, Brown, McNichols Langston, Lambright and Alexander for Hampton and Sykes, Clark, Traylor, Bailey, Archer and Sapp for Morehouse—was splendid tribute to teams that might be beaten or near beaten but wouldn't quit. Alexander was high point man with 7 points. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE ly Lose In ALL COMERS Tonkirk "Sleep by M.

TO THE PASTORS AND CONGREGATIONS WHICH ARE COMMITTED TO THE PROGRAM OF THE VRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION: Me doe Yale converse in the Lord: My dear Yoke-fellows in the Lord: Have you stopped to consider that on Wednesday morning, May 18th, at nine o'clock the Virginia Baptist State Convention will meet in its 59th annual session with the First Baptist Church, of Newport News, Dr. A. A. Galvin, pastor? Do you realize how quickly this hour will be at our doors when God in His great cause in earth will be lalling upon us to report on another year's stewardship? How stands the cause with you, dear brethren? Can you truthfully report that since leaving Lynchburg you have done your best to be ready when the roll is called for Newport News, or have you been resting on your oars to put forth a sort of hurry-up, half-hearted effort at the last moment? These last moment, hurry-up efforts will forever keep God's Churches, Schools and Missionaries on the starvation list, and we, ourselves robbed of God's blessing by sin of neglect. Our church began to raise its money on Sunday after the last Convention and has been at work on it ever since. If you have been slothful, please get busy; God's cause is suffering while you wait. If you, like your president, have worked all the year, fight on warrior, don't turn back nor slack thy hand until victory is won for Him who redeemed us by His blood. Seven years ago in Newport News you made me president. If you are pleased with my humble service, come to the same city after seven years and gladden my heart with a real success. May I call your attention to a few things which I hope you will not only consider well, but permit them to QUEEN STREET BAPTIST CHURCH A large congregation greeted Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor, in his sermon of last Sunday when he discoursed from the subject: "Bitter Cup," chosen from Hebrews 2:9. The pastor emphasized the point that the death of Christ was an act of voluntary submission to the will of His Father. (b) The death of Christ was the highest act of Heaven for the saving of man who by sin had been lost. (d) That Jesus crowned the highest glory to Heaven and earth, and because of His willingness to live and die for mankind there is no more bitterness in the cup. Communion service was fraught with song and meditation. Several additions to the church membership were had. At 7:30, Mr. J. S. Collins addressed the gathering from the words: "Now abideth faith, hope and love, these three, the greatest of these is love, I Cor. 13:13. Mr. Collins beautifully portrayed the effect of love in home, state and country. A well attended Sunday school was witnessed. Mr. P. I. Christian, president of the B. Y. P. U, has decided to conduct cottage prayer meetings under auspices of the organization prior to the union revival which will begin the early part of April. The ex-president of the State B. Y. P. U. was present and gave timely advice to the young people. FIRST CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was a full day at this church. The people turned out nicely. The main auditorium was full and the first gallery at both morning and evening services. Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Corresponding Secretary of the Lott Carey Convention, delivered two hurring messages to those who came to the services. The people went away inspired to do more for the Master. There was a funeral at 1:30 p.m. The pastor and Dr. Graham officiated. At 3 p.m., the Teamster's Benevolent Association had their annual sermon. Dr. O. J. Allen, the pastor, being unable to serve, Dr. F. W. Black, delivered a brief and pointed message. At 5:30 p.m., the B. Y. P. U. pendered a most inspiring program which was enjoyed by those present. The Cottage Bible Class is increasing, over 500 persons are being reached. The pastor wants 1,000 in the Cottage Bible Classes, and 1,000 in the Sunday school by Easter. OF V. C. E. SOCIETY The executive committee of the V. C. E. Society Metropolitan A M. E. Zion Church held their regular monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs. Hattie Cosby, 627 St. Paul street, with the president Mr. W. H. Mitchell, presiding, Mrs. Blanche Stanley was report- ed. ill and a donation of five dollars was sent her. Mrs. Annie Cuffee and Mrs. Josephine Brown were also reported ill. After the regular routine of business, the committee was served a delicious repeat. influence your actions on this occasion? The first is, the Virginia Theological Seminary and College with an enrollment of more than five hundred students is counting on you to see that its bills are paid and that continuity and growth are guaranteed. Second, there is no endowment or wealthy contributors to save the life of this Institution should we fail. Third, there is no available help to supplement a shortage should we even make a partial failure; but the running of the school next year depends solely upon us and our actions at the coming Convention. Last year is cost us $106,000 (one hundred six thousand dollars) to keep the work going, and all of it was placed on the altar by people of our own race who of necessity must give in small bits. Fourth, the Foreign Mission program of our Convention has likewise grown and imposed upon us a much larger obligation than ever before. One of the largest Missionary Stations on African soil is the child of the Virginia Baptist State Convention; thus, you see what a large portion of Christ's world program rests on our shoulders. We say large because thus it seems to us, but compared with what others are doing it is but a drop in the ocean. My brethren, can the Lord depend on you? Shall His cause be turned from your door empty handed? The Hon. E. Lea Trinkle, Governor of Virginia, and the biggest man that has been in the chair for some years, said from the pulp of Fifth Baptist Church, Sunday, March 1st: "The time has come when you people must no longer depend upon others to do for you; but as the opportunity is accorded must do for yourselves." Come on men this is the opportunity. Hurrah! Rally! Be men! Your devoted pastor. T. J. King ALLEN CHRISTIAN ENDFAXOR LEAGUE ENDEAVOR LEAGUE The graduation exercises of the Christian Endeavor Class of the Local Union were held last Wednesday night at Trinity A. M. E. Church.

Gold pins were presented by Dr. A. J. Nottingham. The State Superintendent, Rev. D. A. Blake, was teacher of the class and another is now being formed. GRACE P. E. CHURCH Grace Church is now in the midst of the Lenten season. All the children and church school teachers have their mite boxes and are also conducting a special canvass for new scholars. The Women's Auxiliary is having special study classes for the purpose of learning more about the church work. A special feature of the Women's Auxiliary will be a great hour at 5:45 p. m., every Sunday. Every effort is being made to make the special week day services interesting. Every Thursday evening will be a special preacher. March 12, Rev. E. E. Miller, of Peterburg, will speak, on the following Thursday, Rev. E. H. Hamilton, of Hampton, will speak. Last Sunday there was a celebration of the Holy Communion at 11 o'clock and a sermon by Rev. Harris on the subject, Temptation. The text was taken from Matthew 4:1. At the evening service, Rev. Harris spoke on the "Presence of God in History." A. C. E. LEAGUE OF MONUMENTAL CHURCH Newly elected officers have begun their service and the progress of the society has been excellent. Sunday, February 22, a unique program was held in observance of St. Valentine Day and the birthday of Richard Allen. Mr. James Spence had charge of the meeting and was assisted by Mrs. V, G. Banks. In the center of the floor a heart was drawn and chairs placed around it. Each individual had a small heart which bore a verse on the back of it. As each one read his or her verse they were seated around the heart. The meeting was very interesting. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Rev. A. B. Ellis, of Newport News, preached here at eleven a. m., at 3 p. m., and again at the evening hour of worship. His sermons were highly inspiring and must interest was manifested in the services. The Sunday school was largely attended and the lesson was beautifully explained. The Young Ladies Class received the banner. The school has purchased a beautiful piano. Rev. W. S. Midgeet, B. D., is the pastor. Named Greatest Preacher P. BISHOP J. ALBERT JOHNSON BISHOP CARTER AT ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY Sermon in the Morning By Prominent Prelate of the Denomination and Mass Meeting in Afternoon. The drive for $20,000 which has been in progress at St. Paul C. M. E. Church for the past fortnight will come to a close Sunday, Mar. 8, with a final sprint to crown the effort with grand success. At the morning service Bishop R. A. Carter will presach, and at 3 o'clock a mammoth mass meeting is scheduled to be held at the church. Bishop Carter is a profound scholar, an eloquent speaker and those who avail themselves of this opportunity to hear him, undoubtedly will enjoy a rare sermon and be greatly benefitted. Friends, members, and the entire citizenship of Norfolk are invited to this church Sunday with the assurances that whatever efforts they show towards helping the pastor and members to make a success of the drive will be heartily appreciated. BETHANY PREBYTERIAN CHURCH During the morning service the pastor, Rev. W. Scott Miller, preached from the subject: "The Instructive Resemblance Between Man and a Field." Among the many things he said was that the soil of the earth was full of great dormant possibilities, an dthat, under proper imperative conditions, discipline and cultivation would predict a big crop. He likened this condition unto man, stating that the soil of man—his heart—must be ploughed up with God's plow his grace harrowed with His spirit and sown with His word—the seed, Sunday school and C. E. had good attendances. During the latter a splendid program was rendered. At 8 o'clock a good audience greeted the pastor who preached an eloquent sermon. He sang a reviving gospel song just before beginning his sermon. Mrs. Alice Brown, Chr. Com on selection of female deacons, reported the names of Mesdames Mary Riddick and Loretta Lomax as candidates for the deaconation. They were unanimously chosen and will soon be ordained. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH An appreciative audience presented itself in the Sunday school here last Sunday. The congregation heard an able sermon preached by the pastor at both morning and evening services. The V. C. E is alive, and on next Sunday Master Williams will lead discussion of the topic and render a program.

Welch, who was the successful pastor of the Morning Star Baptist Church, Portsmouth, Va., and who within a very short time changed the old building of the church into modern edifice to the credit of the city, has consented to accept the new call.

Long, their pastor, continue his services with them and not to accept his recent call to a Northern pastorate. The congregation is unanimous in its opinion that because of the splendid service the pastor has rendered the church it would be most unfortunate to have him depart at this time. At the Sunday morning service, Rev. Long preached on the subject, "The Lamb of God," from John 1:29. His sermon was able and he stressed the point that Christ, Garrett's C.M.E.

Not only has the society with the co-operation of the school board made a concentrated charge on T. B., among young people, but is also carrying on a heavy fight against the neoconservative. On the clinic's roll there were 412 cases under its treatment last year. Miss Franklin, speaking to a representative of the Journal and Guide concerning the white plague in Norfolk, stated that she had observed that colored people are now taking advantage of treatment for consumption in its much earlier stages than they formerly did. This, she said, means so much toward saving the life of the living well as counteracting the spread of the disease. The co-operation of colored teachers and parents, she stated, is being had in a way that is helping greatly in the fight on the malady. The clinic for colored people is conducted by Dr. Grandy on Tuesday and Friday of each week and by Dr. D. W. Byrd, assisted by Dr. A. C. Johnson, of Portsmouth, on Thursday. These physicians, state that altho the fight on consumption among Negroes is by no means losing ground, but on the contrary showing encouraging results are being had, the people must be educated to the necessity of seeking treatment for the disease in its very earliest stages.

(Special to the Journal and Guide.) Charlotte, N. C., Mar. 5—Setting aside of the divorce in the case of Frank Flowers, prominent Union county farmer, who about two weeks ago was shot and killed by Bertha Case, with whom he had lived for some time by Flowers' wife, is now living in Raleigh; it was learned from Attorney S. W Eason, of Raleigh, who is in Charlotte studying court records in preparation for bringing action to void the divorce. It was generally known at the time of Flowers tragic death that he had been married and not until his divorced wife read accounts in the papers did she know of her husbands' double life, it was said. The divorce was obeyed by the Jackson County court in October Court records show. The action is entitled "P. Flowers vs. E. Flowers." Mrs. Flowers was a Miss Bagwell, of Raleigh, it was explained. The divorce is to be set aside on the grounds that it was fraudulently obtained, the attorney explained, it is expected, and the will of the dead man which leaves his property to his mother during her life and then to his child whose mother is the woman who killed him, will be broken so that part of the estate will go to the dead man. The dead man leaves property estimated at between $25,000 and $30,000, it was understood, including valuable personal property and between 300 and 500 acres of farm land in Union county. Was Regarded Most Valuable Man In Company's Employ Was Regarded Most Valuable Man In Company's Employ (By Pressman News Service) Kinston, N. C. Mar. 5.—An employer of hundreds paid a rare tribute to "plain-every-day-man" at the funeral of Whitaker Ray here last Tuesday afternoon. S. Phil Hines, president of the Brothers Lumber Company, sent a card with flowers and with it a card stating that he sincerely considered Ray, killed by a train three days ago, the most valuable man in the company's employ. "Ray was a colored gentleman," he said. He never worked for any one else. He started with this company 40 years ago, when he was a boy about 15 years." Mr. Hines stated. "I never saw a more efficient worker, nor a more loyal. We have 300 employees. Many of these are ignorant colored laborers. We have labor troubles like other people. Ray, in his reserved, dignified way, took the men's part in any legitimate complaint they had to make. When they were in fault he promptly suppressed the agitation. He made little fuss about it." There were hundreds of mourners at the funeral held in a church in the northeastern part of the city. But none regretted Ray's passing more than Mr. Hines. "He knew every nut and bolt in the mill. He was a sawyers assistant, but in his own quiet way he was concerned with every department of the work. Things the office would not have worried about disturbed his greatly. He cannot be replaced." NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1925 Spring Migrants Are Warned Against Sharpers of Harlem Who Victimize Gullible Negroes Spring Migrants Are Warned Against Sharpers of Harlem Who Victimize Gullible Negroes Southern colored people preparing to swell the annual spring migration tide to northern centers, and particularly to New York's Harlem might read with great profit an article under the caption "Robbing the Negroes—The New Slavery in Harlem," by Mr. Wintrop D. Lane, and appearing in the current issue of the Sunny Graphic and printed in last Sunday's New York World. The writer graphic points out how Negroes being victimized out of millions of dollars by all sorts of schemes and unscrutious landlords. He says all Harlem is ablaze with "the number". People play it everywhere, in tenements, on street corners, in the backs of shops. "Bankers" organize it, promote it, encourage it. They send their numbers into flats and stores. You give the runner the money you are betting, write your number on a slip of paper, and wait. If the number you choose is one that wins the next day, you have to pay the next day. One trouble is, of course, that they don't always get what they win. Many a banker finding that large sums have been won from him, avoids payment; his victim has no course, since the whole transaction is outside of the law. The streets of Harlem are being raked by people looking for those who owe them money won at "the numbers". A Spicies of Policy The writer explains that this game is a species of policy. The stakes are high for the winners being 60 times the outlay. Five cents played will not the winner $20.00, if he succeeds in collecting it. A quarter will not $150.00, but the players never stop to consider the chances against them. Most of them do not consider that they have never won and only win a few times in winning. The hate possibility of capturing so much money lures them into the game. "There are ways in which the Negro is more deliberately exploited in Harlem than in other Northern cities," continues Mr Winthrop. "He is subject to being feeced in rent. This is not a theoretical flourish. It is a real fact. I am not referring merely to high rents, to "what the traffic will bear." I am referring to extortion. He adds that the Negro can be taken advantage of, because his racial position makes it possible to gouge him, he is gouged." He cites a case that came before a judge in Municipal Court in which the statement, "It is common for colored tenants in Harlem to pay twice as much as white tenants for the same apartment," was made by the Court. Miss Lillian Grant, acting chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Rent, has also quoted as stating Negroes in Harlem pay excessive rents. Their situation is excellent. Mr. Winthrop vividly explains how Harlen is the Landlord's paradise. The population, he says, has grown continuously, swollen by additions without. "As the colored race grew it pressed against contiguous white territory. Block after block gave way. Stubbarly each block yielded." This situation has made possible the paradise of the ruthless landlord or rent charger. Commenting on the report of the New York branch of the National Urban League, Mr. Winthrop, points out that organization asserts it found in the spring of 1924, Negroes paying from 40 to 60 per cent higher rents than white people did for the same class of apartments. And the profiteering is not all done by white landlords, it is explained. Men of both races are guilty of this form of robbery. Negroes find money to meet these exorbitant rent charges by going without other things. "They cut down on fun, food and clothing and stretch what money they have to cover the rent. But they have other tricks. One is the rent party. It goes by the name of 'social parlor.' A person invites friends in for the evening to dance and have a good time, and charges them for the expense; that is one way of getting help to meet the monthly rent bill." Some Take Lodgers Another is to take in lodgers. Apartments properly accommodating ten persons have been found to be occupied by forty persons, the writer explains. In some cases the double shift is employed, one person occupying the ninth position during the day. Other ways in which Negroes in Harlem are taken advantage of is being overcharged, shortweighted and given inferior goods by the merchants. And says, Mr. Winthrop: "This is again the manifestation of the white man's opinion that the Negro can be gullled—and of the undoubted fact that many Negroes can be gullled. Fake drug stores, where no attempt is made to properly fill prescriptions, other than for poisonous liquor and medical quacks are other agencies for exploiting the ignorant masses of Haiti. The article shows. Some doctors use drugs and medical quacks for men's care. Other people use a plaster for every pain, and one case was learned of where a patient was suffering with phlebitis and paid $000 to have the water drawn off, on operation ordinarily performed by a physician in a routine call. This doctor called it a major operation. The article tells a full page of the dark world with an illustration is highly interesting and a point out several other species of exploitation, colored people preparing to go to New York might do well to be informed on.

TWO MEN HELD FOR CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON YOUNG WOMAN Remanded Without Bail When Recorder Finds Probable Cause After Hearing Testimony of Alleged Victim. (Special to the Journal and Guide) Wilmington, N. C., Mar. 5—Two white men, Herbert Johnson, and R. L. Jones, hucksters, were held for Superior Court, March 16, without bond on charges of criminal assault, when acting recordar, J. L. Pearce, on February 28 found probable cause for their detention. Sitting as a committing magistrate, the charge being a capital offense over which the recordar has no jurisdiction, he hucksters hend the testimony of the complainant, Eather Murphy, and the arrestor, the men. According to the story of Miss Murphy she had been for an automobile ride last Sunday night with a man on the loop and had left the car of her own volition. She was walking home, she said, and took a lift with the two men. After going a short distance she said they forced her out of the machine and assaulted her. When she got back to the city she informed the police and gave them the number of the license tag of the car, traced the number to Jones and Johnson, who admitted giving a lift to the woman but deny the assault charge. Fuel oil tanks with a capacity of 20,000 barrels have been installed at Unalaska in the Aleutian Isles, for the convenience of shipping vessels. Colds and Stomach Trouble Mrs. C. Gates, Mesick, Mich. Her letter reads: "I have used Pe-ru-na for several years and it has helped me in many ways. It is good for colds, stomach ache and to improve the appetite when taken as the doctor I am 78." And intelligently for catarrh and diseases of a catarrhal nature, Pe-ru-na seldom fails of the desired results. Coughs, colds, nasal catarrh, stomach and bowel ders are among the commoner diseases for which Pe-ru-na has been used. careful housewives and mothers make a practice of keeping a bottle of Pe-ru-na in the home for emergencies.

Sunday will be sermon and lecture day; Tuesday, Swat the fly day; Wednesday, tuberculosis day; Thursday, children's health day; Friday, church sanitation day and Saturday, general clean-up day. This year's observance of National Negro Health Week will be the eleventh which has been held on a country-wide scale. Conduct of the program is under the direction of the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference and the National Negro Business League, the national co-operation of United States Health Service, state county, and city health departments, and various other health and civil organizations. An outline of the ground to be covered in the week's health drives has been prepared and published in pamphlet form by the Division of Venereal Diseases of the U. S. Public Health Service for distribution to interested health organizations. In an outfitting for each day, the pamphlet makes special mention of certain diseases which are prevalent among the Negro population. Among these are hookworm, malaria, peliglea, heart disease, tuberculosis, venereal, and mental diseases. Minor ailments, such as common, colds and teeth defects also have a place in the daily hygiene are grouped maternity and infant hygiene, personal cleanliness and cleanliness in the home. Although the week beginning on Sunday, April 5, will witness the ```markdown ``` intensive health and educational campaign, it is desired that permanent results will be effected by the drive. With this idea in mind, the health workers and the organizations concerned are preparing to stress a year-round health program which is represented by seventeen precepts for healthful living. The complete list is published in the program issued by the Division of Venereal Diseases of the Public Health Service. Health departments and interested organizations and individuals may obtain copies of the National Negro Health Program from the Department of Public Health, Washington, D.C., cost of twelve dollars a thousand copies. 100% The death-rate among colored people has been and still is considerably higher than the rate for the whites. It is to be noted, however, that the percentage of whites during the 1910 rate was greater among the Negroes than among the white population.

(Special to the Journal and Guide) Rolling, N. C., Mgr. S. Fallowing her discovery living in the house of a member of our group in the wilde of St. Mary's township, Mrs. Hastrice Young, white woman formerly of Wake, Forest, is now in the county jail in details of a bond in the sum of $252 after having been bound over to the Superior Court by Magistrate I. W. Owens, on charges of adding and abetting in prostitution. The man, Phil Williams, at whose house the woman was living was made co-defendant with the woman, but was cleared. He was, however, placed under $250 was as the result of a still being bound over by home. Bouquet Deputy: J. P. Stoll, E. P. D. Denton, P. P. Sankmuk and Joe P. in made the raid on the house. Phil Williams and several men and women of our group were there, but no white people. The women raid she had been staying at the house for four days but Williams said she had been there for about a week. At the hearing the woman would not take the stand and refused to make any explanation of her abode in the colored man's house. Although there was no direct evidence of any immorality, Magstate Owens decided that because presence in the house was grounds for a grand jury investigation and ordered the women held under bond in spite of the motion of her attorney, W. B. Jones, to dismiss the charge on account of lack of evidence. ELIZABETH CITY Elizabeth City, N. C.—The funeral of Mrs. Roxanna Rhodes was held from Cornerstone Baptist Church Tuesday, February 19.

How far it will go without falling down on its face as liquor legislation has done in large part remains to be seen. The regulation of personal conduct and habits, which is an invasion of personal rights, is dangerous business. The beating of a mule at Sidons, Miss, led to the killing of two white persons and a deputy sheriff and the lynching of two Afro-Americans. The white persons went to the home of the two Afro-Americans to remonstrate with them about beating the mule and the deputy sheriff went along to see that the white persons did not get the worst of the argument. Moral: It doesn't pay to beat a mule in Mississippi and that it is still better to attend to your own business and to leave others to do so.

Crusade Against Smutty Shows A needed crusade against smutty play has been started in New York by the New York World, which is a mighty formidable foeman of any man or thing it objects to and that is because the World is invariably on the side of law and order and decent public morals. People who have got into the theatre business and commercialized it have A needed crusade against smutty plays has been started in New York by the New York World, which is a mighty formidable former of any man or thing it objects to, and that is because the World is invariably on the side of law and order and decent public morals. People who have got into the theatre business and commercialized it have done much to lower the standards of decency in the character of the plays they have been giving the public which they imagine the public is willing to pay for. They have not been disappointed. Playrights and managers have made a windfall by catering to the sensual, the vulgar and salacious tendencies of a large part of the theatre going public, and they have carried the filth so far that decent newspapers and the public alike are demanding radical reform. And the legal authorities are taking a hand in the crusade against the commercializers of moral filth, and results are being got by the Crusaders, who should have all the strength they need to their elbows. There are persons so low that they will stoop to any form of depravity to make a dollar. They are to be found in every business and profession. The decent people are always coming into contact with this sort, simply because they have to in the ordinary course, and they have a time of it in dealing with such, with the fear that they may be tarred with the same stick. Much of the danger in this sort of crusade to be found in the fact that it invariably reacts in one way and another upon freedom of speech and of the press. Especially is this to be feared when the alleged law-makers take up the subject and try to deal with it. Statesmanship and the sanity of it appears to have fled the legislative halls of the Nation, Federal and State. There came a time in Israel when there was so much law that the people were confused and did not know what they could do. It is getting that way in the United States. Not only smutty plays but smutty films are on trial, and they should be driven from the stage. The movie has become one of the most popular educative influences of the Nation, and many of the shows given the public are too indecent to be tolerated at all. The producers are giving the people what they want and are willing to pay for, and law backed by decent public opinion should compel them to give the people only what they should have. Smutty shows and films should be legalized off the stage. The public well being demands it. Editorial Page of The Right to Vote And Be Voted For The right to vote and to be voted for is the highest privilege and immunity are American citizen can enjoy. It gives him the privilege not only to have a voice in selecting those who shall administer the laws but it gives him the privilege of becoming one of those administrators. Wherever the principle is violated, wherever a citizen is denied this privilege and immunity, violence is done the underlying principle of self-government and the whole machinery of government is liable to go to smash in the community, the State or the Nation which tolerates it. A condition of that sort exists in many parts of the United States, and the States which tolerate it are the poorest most ignorant and the most troublesome of the States. We have received a long release from Mr. James C. Waters, Jr., who resides at Hyattsville, Md., and does business in the District of Columbia as a lawyer, a man of the race of light and leading, as his father was before him, dealing with the question of the offices we have held under former Administrations and the offices we do not hold under the present Administration. He finds that the race holds four Presidential appointments at this time, which is small enough to satisfy the meanest enemy the race has, but he overlooks the one consu we have in Haiti, in France and in Madagascar,—consuls that came over from other days, and whose color has possibly been forgotten by the appointment clerk of the Department of State, who appears to have taken a distaste to Afro-Americans from the Administration of William Howard Taft now Chief Justice of the United States. Mr. Waters shows what a splendid voting power we have, what a valuable asset we are to the Republicans, how much right we have to vote and be voted for, and then raises the question as to how much we may reasonably expect from the Coolidge Administration. We are all interested in that question. A great many of us expect very little and are waiting to see how much we shall get, while refusing to be excited about the matter at all. On the other hand there is a very large number who apparently believe and expect that the Coolidge Administration is going to put us right back where we were before President Roosevelt began to monkey with lilywhite fire. Fortunately the race is developing a large and influential business group who are making office seeking and holding not so important and necessary as in other days, and believe this condition will grow in importance among us, as it has grown among other groups of the population. And this is as it should be, and without impairing in the least the paramount importance of the privilege to vote and to be voted for, to help say who shall hold office and to hold office; and we have a just right to expect that the Coolidge Administration will give us our share of Presidential appointments in the domestic and foreign service.

Slaves to Love and Slaves to Genius A Berlin newspaper after a long investigation of the German population has compiled statistics showing the relative intelligence of the sexes. It draws the conclusion that ten in a thousand men and three in a thousand women are idiots. On the other hand, in every thousand men there are ten geniuses and in every thousand women there are no geniuses. As to average intelligence, it is possessed by 595 women of a thousand and 380 men out of a thousand. A Berlin newspaper after a long investigation of the German population has compiled statistics showing the relative intelligence of the sexes. It draws the conclusion that ten in a thousand men and three in a thousand women are idiots. On the other hand, in every thousand men there are ten geniuses and in every thousand women there are no geniuses. As to average intelligence, it is possessed by 595 women of a thousand and 380 men out of a thousand. Accordingly, both sexes have cause for boasting. Women can claim superiority in the kind of brain needed for the commonplace, everyday things of life and men can point to their record in the more difficult things. Certainly the two kinds of intelligence cannot or at least do not exist in the same person. We have all seen mighty geniuses who were childishly inept in practical affairs. Yet, without such men, the world would never go forward; humanity would still be living in huts and traveling in ox-carts. The male's overwhelming superiority in genius is merely the result of the biological difference between the sexes. However fiercely she may deny it, a woman's organism is more dominated by sex and sexual things than is a man's. The function of maternity is hers, whether she assumes it or not. If she assumes it she is fettered by its responsibilities; if she does not assume it she suffers the penalty of unemployed or misemployed nature. From this biological difference grow the emotional differences such as woman's greater capacity for love, pity, tenderness, sacrifice. It is common knowledge that the number of men who cast away everything for the sake of love is nothing compared to the number of women. By its nature and its functioning, genius of any kind demands a degree of hardness, selfishness and unscrupulousness which is Norfolk Journal and Guide seldom found in women and often found in men. What woman could imitate Napoleon, who callously massacred four thousand Arab prisoners because he had not enough food for them and for his army too? And such heartlessness is not confined to military genius; it is found in the gentler arts. Goethe seduced women merely that he might describe the process accurately in literature; Shakespeare left his wife and three children to shift for themselves because they were a burden to his literary career. Victor Hugo, finding that his genius required a mistress, was unable to support two establishments, so he insisted that his wife and his mistress should live under the same roof. Shelley was notorious for casting off any woman who interfered with his literary career, no matter what he owed to her. When D'Anninzio realized that his relations with Duse were good material for a novel he did not hesitate to write and publish it. Thus woman is a slave to one thing,—love. But no matter what vows and promises a man may make in his transient moments of passion, he is a slave to one thing,—his ambition. And whether we like it or not, that is how the world's work is done. Health And Welfare By NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (For Associated Negro Press) The Arithmetic of Health This is the third problem of the series You will recall the first, "Can People Live 100 Years?" and the second, "Getting Personal: Your 100 Years."

And his daily turns have much to do with his eclipse. These turns are threefold: Work, eight hours; diversion eight hours; and sleep, eight hours. This does not mean that he has to sit on the hand of the clock and perform on the dial lily sixty-seconds every minute; but there should be a regular routine, as far as possible which will assure harmony in the human machine and guarantee both well-being and long life.

Keep a check on the time you put on your job—not lost motion, but real honest to goodness hustling. If you must do more than eight hours, take the extra from the allotment for diversion and not from the eight hours for sleep. Make these extra work hours a source of change and relaxation. You will get the work done without the wear and tear of the grind of the regular eight. Be sure of your diversion: In the game of life as in the contests of field and court and ring, there must be play, fun, recreation, happy and wholesome associations with friends and members of the family; reading, writing, studying, planning for self-arome, for work and business, taking part in meetings and movements for community interests and welfare, all make up a part of the eight which relax the system from serious toil and prepare body and mind for the eight hours of refreshing repose.

The Value of A Man "The first and most important contribution which the churches can make toward any matter of right human relations is to reach the gospel of the Incarnation," declared Bishop F. F. Reese in an address before Federal Council of Churches. The Negro is a man, as God reveals the meaning of manhood. He is within the unity of the race as the Incarnation reveals it. The region of every man or group is fatally defective which does not so regard him." * * "The first and most important contribution which the churches can make toward any matter of right human relations is to preach the gospel of the Incarnation," declared Bishop F.

A whistling tree has just been brought to Paris, and efforts are to be made to acclimatize it to the Paris air. It grows mostly in Barbados and parts of the Sudan. The leaves have small holes in them, and when a gentle breeze passes through them a sweet whistle results. A strong wind will cause a note as loud as a siren. One may judge how great is the distance to even the nearest stars from the fact that Vega, near neighbor, is about one and one-half million times more distant than the sun. Vega is 25 light years, 10 trillion miles away. That is, a ray of light from this star will take 25 years to reach the earth, though it travels with the speed of lightning, which would take it nearly seven times around the earth in a second. In the earlier days of the Roman Empire most rings worn by men were iron. Only a Senator sent on an embassy received a gold ring. Late Senators of noble birth enjoyed the right to wear rings of gold. In the third century before Christ the privilege was extended to the knights. After the Battle of Canne, Hannibal ordered that the gold rings be taken from the hands of the dead Romans. These rings were sent to Carthage, not as spoils of war, but as proof of the great slaughter among the Roman patricians and knights, for at that time only the highest ranking knights, those whom the state provided with horses, had the right to wear gold rings. Inhabitants of the Sable Islands, Canada, like those of the Sahara Desert, dread sand storms more than blizzards of snow. Nothing can restrain that sleety, cutting drift. The windshot sand ethes window glass and sometimes eats holes clear through it. Sand filters through every chink, piling up gray drifts inside the houses and getting into food. On windy mornings the islanders have to shovel it away from their doors. Not even the works of double cased watches escape it. In practically all parts of New Guinea the natives believe that the "tamarags," or evil spirits, come out as soon as it is dark, and are constantly on the watch for stray villagers. Fortunately, however, the devils are quite unable to pass fire at night, so a village is protected by a ring of small fires about it. Sometimes the fires are placed in a circle around the settlement, and sometimes just four are made, one at each corner of the place. Inside this protective belt the native has no fear whatever of the "tamarags" but in the case of the bush natives, especially, all the tinned meat and Jew's harps in New Guinea would not tempt him outside it before dawn in districts known to be afflicted with devils. More news from the land of Cleopatra for the ladies of this day can be gathered from the bust of the beautiful Nefret-iti, presented to the British Museum. According to reports, it is one of the loveliest and most perfectly executed portrait busts to be seen. It is perfectly colored and there is nothing crude about it. It is as finished and lifelike as the product of the most accomplished modern sculptor and shows a raving beauty, long slim-necked, with the at present popular and criticised "debutante's stoop," wearing a strange high crown of beaten gold. Famous archeologists are swearing that Nefret-ki is the most beautiful woman of antiquity. This relic indicates that when the pyramids were built the beauties who went out to see them prided themselves upon their slimness. Records also, that they had their beauty doctors and that they fought fat industriously. But they differed in one essential from the beauties of today. Their feet were large and evidently they did not care who knew it, for they wore sandals which revealed them utterly. Also they were quite accustomed to other revelations which we shun. These, however, were entirely of the upper body. The legs always were at least veiled. Along with the bust of Queen Nefret-iti, Arthur Weigall, who unearthed it, has presented the Saturday, March 7, 1925 museum with another, the bust of Queen Takushet who is reported to have lived in Bubastis 945 years before Christ. Its hair is of the very latest Bond street style, for Bond street, reports to the contrary notwithstanding, still shingles the hair of many among London's most fashionable women. He also revealed the fast that as long ago as 2754 B. C., beauties wanted to keep their figure slim and took violent cathartics for the same purpose. They also rouged and used rice powder. QUESTION IN I By GEORGE W. Author of the Children's Questions pertaining to anywhere if of wet and not too long by Mr. Parker in this space will not permit. Q. How many there in the United States? While Benny Leonard is resting easily with his lightweight crown there is still a hunt on for a race lightweight that can compare with the "Old Master" Joe Gans. His name is always mentioned whenever a successor to Leonard's crown is the conversation. The man who is wanted to fill Gans's shoes must be fat, clever and be able to hit hard. But as yet that man can't be found. It was a treat to see the "Old Master" step around in the squared circle. His terrific punches with the speed of lightning were worth the admission alone. But God's will was done and He left us without a successor. In speaking of welterweights we must by all means mention that killer, Joe Walcott, who is still living. Bigger they are the harder they fall was the slogan of that old timer, who could drop them with one punch. This was proved time and again. Mickey Walker, the present holder of that title would have been "murdered" by Walcott. Note On Labor Conditions BY ELISHA GREEN Letters from the big firms at Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Gary and Duluth, state that while they are gradually increasing their forces they have a great surplus of labor to draw from and advise against large numbers coming and seeking employment. It is to be hoped that our people of the South will not start coming North until there is a change in the situation. The New England states report a building program of over three hundred millions of dollars for 1925. This should open the way for many skilled men, but the demand will hardly start until the weather breaks. There is some demand for skilled men in the molding trade. Colored molders are scarce and for the man who learns this business there is steady work in every steel district. Michigan reports an excess of common labor. The demand will depend largely upon the demand for autos and so far the demand has not justified any great increase. Should the demand take on momentum in the next sixty days, there will be work for a large number inasmuch as many persons who came last year have returned South. Person coming North must consider the high rents in the large cities. Most people wish to come to any one of the larger cities and these are generally the last ones to consider because of the high rents for houses and flats. Actual food costs are rather lower in the North than in the South, but the high rents make up for the difference. General good advice for those who hope to come North is that they do not come unless they have a job ready for them when they arrive. Do not pay attention to rumors and reports of friends. Rumors are usually false and friends who are working themselves have little opportunity to know the exact conditions of business and labor demand. They may see a new face now and then and conclude that there is work to be had, but they do not see the crowds at the gates waiting to come in. Be sure you are right before you venture. Unemployment still continues. The promised prosperity is rather slow dawning and thousands of men are walking the streets everywhere in the North seeking work. Contracts have been let for an immense project near Buffington, Illinois, but the work will not start for some time. This is very close to the Gary district. Unemployment in Japan has reached 3,500,000. Skilled laborers continue to be in demand. Steel mills report little hiring. While orders continue to come in, the present forces seem able QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY (Copyright 1924 by A. N. P.)

Marker, Parker, Associated Negro Press, 1000 Iowa Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. they were called Egyptians in nothing else. Carthage was walled by Phoenicians, a black tribe, and as it grew, surrounding a rican tribes became part of nation. No picture has been left. Hannibal and neither a description, but from the time in which he lived and considering the people of that day, he could have been nothing but an African or a Negro. White people in the times were mighty few and dom ever seen. Q. Were there any Negro pre-historic America? G. E. Los Angeles, Calif. A. Evidences of both groes and Chinese have been covered in excavations in Americas. Q. Just what territory didient Ethiopia embrace? F.S. Omaha, Nebr. A. There have been archeologists who claim that Ethiopia at one time embraced almost whole of Northern Africa, tending to the Atlantic. It is because in the remains discovered, indicate a similarly of civilization. The Ethiopia of history, however, included Abujaia north of Egypt and the capital was located at Marce, north of the Egyptian bounded. The ancient Egyptians and Egyptians were very closely akin to adopting the same style of architecture and worshipping the same gods. THE TOWER By the Tower Man for A. N.

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. How many Negroes are there in the United States and how many Negro millionwires? R. S. I., Rich Square, N. C. A. Approximately twelve millions. There is no data on the number of Negro millionaires and we cannot answer definitely. Q. Do you think anyone will be able to communicate with Mars? R. S. I., Rich Square, N. C. A. Perhaps. Some astronomers say Mars is inhabited and others not. The question has not been settled. But undoubtedly other planets are inhabited and some day we may be able to communicate with them. Q. Why cannot a Negro go to West Point? E. D. L., Atlanta, Ga. A. He can if a senator or congressman appoints him. How ever, prejudice is so strongly against it that Negroes seldom seek appointment. Col. Young and Lt. Flipper were both appointed and graduated. Q. Was Hannibal a Negro? H J. R. Madison, Ind. A. He most certainly was. However, the term "Negro" was unknown to the ancients. Nearly all the nations of that day were either African or of African descent and the mere mention of a person's nationality was an index to his ethnic derivation. Egyptians were from reddish brown to deep black, but The good old friendship virtue of loyalty has frequent encounters with the Double Cross—and that's no puzzle. The Ancient and Dishonorable Association of Backbiters, according to high authority, has membership in every city, town and hamlet. Friend Wife, almost universally winning out on the subject of bobbed hair, now takes up the subject of shorter dresses and rouged knees. That's the bend of the road. If Sunkissed America would get as excited about political justice as they do about social highflying at a Presidential Inauguration, we would have members of the House , Senate and Cabinet. Florida has had its greatest swing of business this year for tourists. We have been there, mostly on the job, but we also have a little world of our own which really makes two Floridas U. S. A. The N. N. P. A. in St. Louis, assembled, took a hot fling at the public Highwaymen who will to handle the new business without much increase. The spring railway business has not given any promising aspects to the employment of large numbers of men. Everything is slow all along the line and seems to be waiting for something to happen, but just what that something is no one seems to know. General advice to persons thinking of change is to wait. Hold on to the job you have until things open up. Just when they will open is problematical. HOOSIT? (By Associated Negro Press) 4. He 'was born in the British West Indies in 1876. In early youth he worked at odd jobs around theatres and later entered into vaudeville. He traveled extensively and by Royal command appeared before the Royal family of England. As a comedian, he had no peer and in "Dahomey," "The Sons of Haum" "Banflanna Land," and "Abyssinia" he convulsed the American public. Known as the "Son of Laughter" he sang his way into the hearts of his hearers, and carried his Race with him. He died in 1922. Hoosit? Answer to Hoosit 3. Rt. Rev. Abraham Grant, Bishop of the A. M.
