ANDERSON HUNDREDS MOURN DEATH OF YOUNG WOMAN TEACHER Miss Mamie E. Anderson's Sudden Death Provokes Wide-Spread Grief; Large Crowd Attends Funeral. WAS MEMBER OF SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR 15 YEARS Miss Mamie E. Anderson, principal of John Snythe public school, on Queen street, died suddenly at her home on Billings street Saturday morning at 8 o'clock following illness of about two hours. Appoplexy was attributed as the cause of her death. She was a very popular young woman, universally admired and respected throughout this community, and the announcement of her sudden death provoked wide-spread grief. Not recently has the news of the death of a member of the community proved so shocking to such a large number of people. Hers was one of the most largely attended funerals in this city in years. It was held at the First Baptist Church last Tuesday afternoon. Every available seat was taken, hundreds of people stood in all the aisles, and there were scores turned away. The crowd made up of white and colored, old and young, lodge members, fellow teachers, and school children, was a tribute to the young woman's popularity and the usefulness of her life in the community. She had been a teacher, in the city system for about fifteen years, having spent the first few years after graduation in teaching at Crews, Va. She was an alumnus of the old Norfolk Mission College finishing in the class of 1908. For a number of years Miss Anderson had been identified with the Independent, Order of St. Lake and with the Tents. In her church she was a Sunday School teacher, su (Continued on Page Six BARBER GETS THREE YEARSON CHARGE OF CRIMINAL ASSAULT BARBER GETS THREE YEARSON CHARGE OF CRIMINAL ASSAULT Napoleon Stallings, who conducts a barber shop on Church street, was found guilty by a jury in Corporation Court No. 1 Wednesday night on two charges of criminal assault and given 18 months in the penitentiary on each. Judge Sargent deferred pronouncement of the three year sentence pending his action on a motion for a new trial entered by Attorneys V. C. Hodges and David H. Edwards, counsels for the defense, on which argument will be heard Monday. This was the second trial of the case, the first having resulted in a mistrial during last month's term of Corporation Court. Stallings' case has attracted considerable attention locally. The minor girls he was alleged to have maltreated are well known. These girls, it was alleged, were induced to spend part of a night alone in a room with him, and were there when the police forced an entrance, Stallings and the girls were said to have been discovered in a compromising position. SEN.GLASS OPPOSED SOUTHERN AID HAS APPROPRIATION OVER HALF MILLION FOR HOWARD ACQUIRED SURPLUS Every Family Urged To Do Something Thrifty During Trade Week, March 21-28 Begin a Bank Account, Start the Purchase of a Home, Take Building Loan Shares Are Some of the Suggestions Virginia's Senior Senator Lined Up With the Opposition When Item For $591,- 000 Was Before Senate. BRUCE, OF MARYLAND, VOTES FOR PASSAGE (Detailed story on page 7) The Appropriation Bill carrying an item of $591,000 for Howard University was in charge of Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, Republican in the Senate and Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican of Michigan in the House. Jist of the Debate Senator Overman, Democrat, North Carolina contended that Congress had no right to appropriate the money of the taxpayers to private institutions. The appropriation was justified, according to Senator Smoot, upon the ground that there was a closer connection between the Government and Howard University than there was between any other private school and the Government. Democrats Split Senator Royal S. Copeland Democrat, New York, said that he was glad that "Howard University has succeeded in getting that amount of money. I can think of no public service which could be rendered which would be of more importance; and I congratulate the conferences that the item remains in the bill." Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, contended that this appropriation constituted race discrimination. "What is this but racial distinction?" he asked.

Keen interest, however, is not confined to the business men as the clergy, professional men and the general public are manifesting considerable interest, in the movement. The consensus of opinion being openly and freely expressed on all sides is that Trade Week should prove one of the most beneficial movements ever inaugurated in this city. Several additional businesses informed the Chairman of Trade Week Committee this week that they intend to cooperate in the campaign, notably among those were the Industrial Insurance men. Members of the committees, and other workers in the drive entertain the highest hopes of a brilliant success. Public cooperation is urgently solicited and at present there are abundant indications that this cooperation will be forthcoming, stated the chairman a few days ago. Trade Week has not primarily for its object the boosting of business, but it is planned as a means of inducing families to raise their economic status. In fact, it is intended to direct the attention of wage earners and others to the wisest kind of thrift practicable. Two things will be particularly discouraged—one is the boarding of money around the home or insecure places that ought to be earning interest, paying on a home, or providing adequate life insurance, or purchasing the necessities of a respectable and decent citizenship; the other is the thoughtless expenditure of money.

INVESTED $100,000.00 IN PROPERTY (Special to the Journal and Guides.) Richmond, Va., March 13—According to information gleaned from the annual statement of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., which has recently been made to the Insurance Departments of the District of Columbia and Virginia, this company is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, owned by the race anywhere. The remarkable growth of the Society during its thirty-two years of existence is most interestingly revealed. The statement shows that on a fully paid up capital of $30,000 the company shows assets, over and above operating expenses of all kinds, amounting to $679,550.00. The total gross income last year was $850,236.60. Inasmuch as the company operates only in the District of Columbia and Virginia this income was derived exclusively from business done in these two states. It also represents the collections on purely sick and accident policies, too, as the company does not issue any other kind of policy. The records also show that during the history of the Society it has paid to policyholders $2,600,000 in sick accident and death benefits. $700,000 Accumulation Assets As an example of the practice of good judgment and the greatest economy $700,000 in accumulated stable assets stand to the credit of the company, consisting of $170,000 in banks and trust com.

NEIGHBORS OBJECT: OWNERS WANT A SALE (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Roumoke, Va., March 13—A most unusual case is pending in Corporation Court here involving a suit entered by Mamie, Mamie Brinkley and her husband, W. W. Brinkley, white people, against Dr. S. C. Medley, a prominent colored physician, and his wife, Mrs. Bessie M. Medley. The action against the defendants is for specific performance of contract. It appears that Dr. Medley some time ago entered into a contract for the purchase of the Brinkley mansion, located in an exclusive white residential section of this city. A few days before delivery of the deed for the property the home of a colored man, Walter Wheaton, situated about 200 yards from the Brinkley residence, and recently acquired by him was dynamited. Wheaton was forced to remove and rent his property to a white family at a loss of $10.00 a month. Following the bombing of Wheaton's house, the agent for Mr. and Mrs. Brinkley asked Dr. Medley to accept the return of his deposit and the contract and call of the deal as a race riot was feared. To this Dr. Medley agreed. Now the Brinkleys have instituted a suit in chancery asking that the court enter a degree for specific performance of the contract, that is, the aid of the court is being invoked to compel Dr. Medley to purchase the property, despite the fact that the neighbors of the Brinkleys are opposed to the doctor and his family occupying the residence, and in spite of the fact that his occupancy of the property would be in peril of his life. Both sides are waging a bitter legal battle over the issue involved, Mr. Harvey T. Hall, one of the oldest attorneys of the State, represents the Brinkleys, while Henry M. Dolphin, a young colored attorney of this city, represents the defendants. Fake Subscription Solicitor It has been brought to the attention of the publishers that a man giving his name as F. R. Jones, is soliciting subscriptions in Norfolk and vicinity for the Journal and Guide. This is to notify the public that this person is not authorized to solicit or receive subscriptions for this paper. He is unknown to this office and has made no report of any subscriptions taken. All authorized agents of the Journal and Guide carry necessary credentials, and are prepared to give official receipts. Official Sunset Time Given By Prisoner Wins Acquittal Accuracy is one thing Thomas Bolding, colored, believes in, and accuracy was what he demanded today when arraigned before Police Justice Spindle on a Charge of riding a bicycle without lights. Arrested yesterday evening at 6:43 o'clock on Newport avenue by Patrolman A. C. Bryant. Bolding pointed out to Justice Spindle that he was riding within his rights when the official time for the vehicle lights to be shown yesterday was 6:51 o'clock. Asked by the justice where he got his information from, he calmly stated, "the newspapers. I read them every night to be certain I am not violating the law."

NO POST FOR SPREAD OF PROPAGANDA HERE NO POST FOR SPREAD OF PROPAGANDA HERE Colored Doctor, Mistakenly Invited To Join in the Organization of One. All racial stocks in America will be pure; there will be no crossing of races through miscognition, legal of otherwise, and the four million mulattoes now at large will be officially registered, checked and card indexed, to keep them from re-crossing the line, if the plans of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America, with headquarters in Richmond, are carried out. An invitation to set up a Post of the Clubs in Norfolk was inadvertently extended a prominent colored physician of this city last week by Dr. Lawrence T. Price, chairman of the executive committee. We say inadvertently, presuming that Dr. Price was not aware that he was addressing his invitation to a colored citizen. Organization Growing To the Norfolk man, Dr. Price wrote that "the organization has grown rapidly in Virginia, now numbering twenty-eight posts in the most influential communities in the State, including the eight principal colleges and universities in the State." There are two posts also in New York—one at Columbia University—and one in Pennsylvania, at the University of Penn, he stated. Dr. Price outlines a perfect plan for stopping misegregation legally, but what the Norfolk doctor to whom he wrote is interested in is a plan to stop the illegal mixing of the racial stocks. A worthy and worthwhile undertaking, said the Norfolkian, if it can be done "There are 3, 500,000 mulattoes in the South," he said, "primarily as a result of sexual relations forced by white men upon Negro women, when the latter were in no position to protect themselves physically or legally. Pass some laws to protect the Negro women of the South against the aboriginal instincts of the white man, and the great question of racial integrity will be solved," was his parting shot. He may pass that thought on to Dr. Price. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Live Glowing Account of Wonders Seen in Travels Thru Egypt and Jerusalem; Trip Was Unmarred. TWO MONTHS SPENT IN THE HISTORIC COUNTRY New York, N. Y., March 13—Fresh with new experiences, enthusiastic with their increased knowledge, brimful with matless information, laden with piousless old world souvenirs, Revs. M. J. Key, K. H. Burress, S. S. Jones and J. O. Haitheox winners in the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg., Co.'s Grand Trip to the Holy Land contest returned today on the scenerie Baltic of the White Star Line from Liverpool, England. These men sailed from this city January 7th, on the "Paris" and have completed a tour that for education and recreation is hard to surpass. 10,000 miles were traveled, 12 different cities in 6 countries in 3 continents were visited. Places too numerous to mention were shown them, scenes were revealed before them in cinematic rapidity. Their trip was quite successful, no important difficulties marred their journey. Curios to the people of the countries they visited, they moved about seeing the sights, taking notes and pictures thus increasing their knowledge and the wealth of the race. Praise Hospitality All were loud in their praise of the hospitality and comforts shown them through the arrangement of the Walker Company and for the enjoyment and further education afforded by the trip. "The trip was grand," said one; "magnificent," said another; "words can't express what we've seen," exclaimed the third; "Perfectly wonderful" is how the fourth expressed it. And so travelling in manner befitting their position as race leaders these men saw London, Paris, Cairo, Jerusalem, etc., as guests of the Mine, C. J. Walker Mfg. Go., and its President. Voicing their impression: France with its whole-hearted democracy, the magnificence of Italy, the charm of Egypt and the Bible lore of Palestine were spoken of in no small way by each member of the party. United Charities Conduct Exchange The Colored United Charities operates a work exchange at 405 Queen street, where old garments in a sanitary condition will be accepted for distribution to the needy. The present cases in need are: One family of an aged mother, invalid son, and grandson, 12 years old; two families, two widows, mothers of twelve children ranging in ages from 10 months to 14 years. Capt. George W. Wilson and Mrs. Mary Austin have already remembered this part of the work and sent good garments, which were received just in time. They were distributed immediately. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers TION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR R GIFT ROCKEFELLER, JR. AIDS ENDOWMENT FUND OF SCHOOLS Makes Huge Gift Unconditional, and Gives As Reason Prompting Donation His Interest in Colored People. COMMENDS POLICIES OF THESE INSTITUTIONS New York, March 13—Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the special gifts committee of the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund, announced here this week the gift of $1,000,000 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The donation was made unconditionally and brings the endowment fund, now being raised to $3,500,000. In a letter accompanying his gift Mr. Rockefeller said: "Inasmuch is I have been profoundly interested in these schools ever since my father took me as a small boy to visit Hampton, when General Armstrong was its head; because they provide an education which fits boys and girls to be useful citizens, whether they go forward to higher and professional education or go directly into agriculture, industry or business; because they stress the development of character along with the development of mind and body, and because of my life-long interest in the colored race. I shall count it a privilege to participate in the campaign to the extent of $1,000,000. As I understand it, this leaves you still $1,500,000 short of your goal." NOTED RACE W MAN TO SPEAK HERE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT Miss Hallie Q. Brown Will Be Presented By The Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Ex-President of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Chairman of the National Scholarship Fund and during the recent National Republican Campaign was Chairman of Colored Women's Activities, will appear in Norfolk under the auspices of the Educational Department of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The meeting will be held at the First United Presbyterian Church, corner of Princess Anne Road and Chapel street, Wednesday evening, March 18, at 8 o'clock. There will be no admission fee but a silver offering will be taken to defray the expenses of the meeting. Miss Brown is one of the most famous elocutionists of the race and it will be a rare treat to hear her. She will bring to the women of Norfolk a message worth hearing, Men and women are urged to come out and give Miss Brown the welcome she deserves. Remember the date, Wednesday evening, March 18. YOUNG SONG WRITER SCORES Jersey City, N. J., March 15—Clarence L. Perdue, Jr., well known in the social circles of New York City, and popular president of the Rolls Royce Club and other exclusive clubs has just completed two new songs, which are being widely heralded by the Dixie Melody Boys of the Keith circuit, and also which gained recognition over the radio during the past two weeks, two days a week. Mr. Perdue who has recently returned from Medifore College in Penna, together with Mr. Eugene Hunter are proud over the success these two songs have met. They are sold by the Criterion Music Shop on 4th St., New York City, and will soon be on the counters for all. The names of the songs are "Sweet Smellin Mama," Don't Put That Thing On Me, and "Soft Talking Papa," also a classic "Voice of the Heart." --- --- PAGE TWO AUGHTER ELKS AND FRIENDS PAY HONOR O GRAND DT. SEC'Y Grand Daughter Secretary and Supreme Mother Extolled As One of America's Greatest Feminine Figures. Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, Grand Daughter Secretary and Supreme Mother, Daughter Elks, her daughter, Mrs. Beuna Kelley Jackson, who have recently returned from a trip to Cuba, Colon and Panama, and the delegates to the Grand Gonclave of Daughter Elks in Pittsburgh last August, were guests of honor at a reception given by Norfolk Temple No. 1 in Odd Fellows Hall Friday night. The reception was an excellent affair, and a large crowd of lady Elks and their friends assembled to pay honor to the founder of the organization, Mrs. Kelley, which now has a membership of 40,000 women in America, Cuba and the Central Zone. The welcome address was made by Daughter Harrell, Grand State president. Brief remarks, closing with a recital of a selection from Dunbar were delivered by the Grand State Secretary from Suffolk. Short speeches were made by Rev. T. D. Lee, Daughter Cross, Rev. F. W. Williams, Mr. P. Young, Mrs. Buena Kelley jackson, Dunbar's selection, When the Preacher Comes," was recited by Mrs. M. B. Lee, Mrs. L. Bass also recited a pleasing selection. The speakers extolled the remarkable, fortitude, perseverance, aristenedness, and character possessed by Daughter Kelley that we enabled her in the past 15 years to build the order which she founded from a small band ofomen to its present tremendous membership. The keynote of the liveswas was that of the old scripture assertion, "The prophet is without honor save in his own country" had been reversed, inasmuch as Norfolk appreciated the worth of its own Daughter Kelley and was ready to pay her the highest honor. Daughter Elks praised her as their leader, their constant inspiration and their most worthy example. Friends present lauded her as not only a great leader of women Elks, but a great American woman. The organizing of 40,000 women in [fra]nancial bonds of friendship; into a great body that seeks to elevate the standards of womanhood, was pointed to as an encouragement that published histor achievement that unhazed historians of the future will be compiled to record of genuine greatness displayed by Emma V. Kelley. Arising to respond to the provision of testimonials to her splendid ability and leadership, Mrs. Kelley visibly showed that she was almost overcome with emotion. She expressed her inability to explain adequately how she appreciated the honor her co-workers and friends were so freely bestowing upon her. She was soon herself, however, and delivered an eloquent address, pointing her sisters in the cause to the highest standards of human values. Mrs. Kelley generously thanked them for their cooperation thru the years; fired her hearers to the heights of enthusiasm as she reconcealed herself to the elevation of Negro women through the world. Her address was impressively delivered and deeply inspiring. Following the speeckmaking the guests were escorted into the dining room where covers were laid sufficient to accommodate the entire assemblage. A generous service of delicacies was offered the guests and members. The affair was one of exceptional enjoyment. YOUNG LADIES WIN IN SUNDAY SCHOOL POPULARITY TEST the popularity contest conducted by the Bank Street Baptist Church Bible School and the Garrett's C. M. E. Temple Sunday school, came to a successful close Monday night at the Bank Street Church. Miss Mary Wood won first prize for the Bank Street school, while Miss George Bruce won first honors for Garrett's C. M. E. school. The program was excellent. Music was furnished by the Bank St. orchestra and the Garrett's Temple Sunday school choir. Both were at their best and every selection was nicely interesting. The question: Resolved. That Education is more beneficial than money," was well handled by these young people. Misses Evelyn Ashe and Mabel Dixon represented Garrett's Temple, while Masters Willie Robinson and Golden Brown had the side for Bank Street. After careful deliberation the judges reported through their chairman, Mr. E. N. Hall, the victory for the boys. Several solos were rendered by representatives from both schools. Mr. W. C. Blount, superintendent of the Temple Sunday school, read a splendid paper on "The Superintendent." Appropriate remarks were made by Rev. C. M. Long. The winner of the first prize, Miss Mary Wood, was awarded, $10.00, while the winner of second honors, Miss Edith Lucile Smith, received $5.00, and Miss Hortense Tucker, winner of third prize, $2.50.

MISS HALLIE RACE'S LEADING WOMAN Wednesday Evening First United Press PRINCESS, ANNE ROAD ADMISSION FREE Auspices Educational Department Women's NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE SOUTHLANDSINGERS HOLD JUBILEE NIGHT ON 8 ANNIVERSARY Large Crowd at First Calvary Hears Quartettes, Choruses and Choir Sing All Sorts of Spirituals. Monday night at First Calvary Baptist Church might well have been termed a regular "Jubilee Night." From eight to ten o'clock, two solid hours, the Southland Singers, quartette after quartet, the Hammond Melodian Singers and the church choir revealed in Jubilee songs. It was the celebration of the eighth anniversary of the Southland Singers. The audience was large, practically filling the church, main floor and galleries. There were no dull moments—no not one. The very first selection by the choir prepared the audience for the reception of what was coming. And something did come—too. All sorts of arrangements of gospel songs, plantation melodies and Negro folklore followed one after the other—every one of them either amusing, colorful, impressive or fervent. The crowd was swayed into rapidly changing moods; sometimes emitting a soft hum and a subdued foot-pat as the strains of a spiritual softly fell on the audience; again laughing as the lines of certain songs became semi-coral; then breaking forth in roaring applause as each number was finished. Every body expected the Southland Singers to sing—and they did. Every one of them, "Ham" James, Jerry Anderson, Brown, Miss Lena Porter, Miss Letha Jones and the whole bunch. Brown, Misses Porter and Jones were top-notchers. Both of these young women have remarkable voices and so has Mr. Brown. The Southland Singers were forced to respond with two, sometimes three enchors at each appearance. For quartette singing the American Woodman, well, they just excelled. The Hiawaiha and the Peerless Four—but you just couldn't tell which of these threere were best. And the other, the Golden Leaf, the Black American, the Sons of Norfolk, the Heavenly Light, were all very good. The Hammond Melodian Singers, made up of the church choir, certainly sang to the delight of the crowd. But no narrative of this night of fine entertainment would be complete that didn't mention prominently that supurp singing of the First Calvary Choir. Then, too there was a Juvenile trio, these boys have the voices in the making, and a plenty of decent comedy coming along with them. They made the crowd roar with laughter and they could sing. Several of the quartettes responded with enchores and none with less than one. —C. L. WILLIAMS Y. W. C. A. Interracial Committee Meets The Colored Work, or Interracial Committee, of the Y. W. C.

Just about two years ago, February 27, 1922, to be exact, Mr Alvin S. Wiggers, music and dramatic critic for the National Temperance, and one of recognized ability, writing an account for his paper of a recital held at Fisk University the evening previous said in part: "While the race is, as a whole, a musical one, and you notice more colored people sing at their work than you do white people, and when you hear some one whistling a tune on the street, nine times out of ten it is, Negro, still on account of their limited opportunities, three not been many of the race to nation-wide fame. achieve national success. "Fisk University has, this season, presented to the public several musicians who have done splendid things, and R. Nathaniel Dett, who gave last evening at the Memorial Chapel, a program of his own compositions, stands out as one of the most original composers America has produced. "With a technique which fully all requirements of the diffi- cult passages, and a touch in kee- ping with the music, much of which is poetic and dreamy, he played first his "Magnolia Suite" with its many moods. Of the five pieces "Magnolia" and the "Deserter Cabin" were lovely tone pictures. To My Lady Love, lively and gay, "Mammy" had to be repeated and "The Place Where the Rain Ends" was a brilliant waltz. "The E 'Enchantment Suite' described the experiences of a soul in a temple, addressing an incan- cation to the Unknown God, bring- ing in response an answering voice then a wild, swirling dance, and 'Beyond the Dreams.'

Kelley, Holds Large Audience in Rapt Attention As She Explains Habits of the Natives. A large crowd listened interestedly at Queen Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon to a lecture by Mrs. Emma V. Kelley which told of her experiences while on a recent trip to Cuba, Colon and Panama, and of the habits and customs of the people. Most people in this country are under the impression that on account of the nearness of the Canal Zone and the island of Cuba, they have quite a general idea of the mode of life of the inhabitants of these places. Maybe they have but few people have heard a more interesting recital of the life in Panama, Colon and Havana than Mrs. Kelley gave Sunday afternoon. From the very beginning of her talk until the last word had been spoken she held her audience in rant attention. An incident that provoked considerable laughter during her lecture was a description of the method of courting in Cuba. Mrs Kelley said that all of the older houses are one story, but she explained, the story is almost as high as the cellings of Queen Street Church auditorium. Long windows reaching almost the entire height of the walls are on all sides of the houses, she said. These windows are without curtains or shades, or sockets but are protected by a cooking of iron bars, almost similar to those of the jails of this country. When a young man at first calls to may court to a young lady he stands outside of the house and converses with her thru the barre window. Not until they have been engaged for three months is he allowed to enter the home. Ever then he must do his courting in a room in the presence of the other member of the family. When a Mrs. K. H. stated this a number of elder women in the audience cried, "An am I should be the rule in this society." One month before the day, for the marriage the young man is allowed to take his intended bride for a stroll, but also in company with other members of her family. More "Amens" came from the women in the audience, following this statement. After the couple are married the wife seldom, if ever, speaks to another man, she remains home and forever keeps her feet under the cradle. The "Amens" were almost inaudible at this. Mrs. Kelley further explained that the husband is absolutely free to associate with as many other women as he may choose to, even going to the extent of escorting them to the theatre and other public places. Often, she said, the husband while sitting in the theatre with another woman will observe his wife sitting alone somewhere in the audience, walk over to her and say, "I hope you are enjoying the evening," then go back to the other woman. So "Amons" greeted these remarks none whatever. Several men in the audience were unable to conceal their laughter. Ladies House Service League Holds Meet The Ladies' House Service League met on Tuesday, March 11 at the hall, corner Cumberland street and Brambleton avenue, their business meeting was very brief.

BERNARD-YOUNG, JR Hampton, Va.; March 6—Huntington High School of Newport News conclusively established its superiority over Union High of Hampton in the court game by taking a hard won victory in the last four minutes of a fiercely battled contest tonight, winning 22 to 18. The score was tied several times—at half time a 10 to 10 deadlock saw both teams on even terms; with four minutes to play the score was tied-16-16, but from here the probable State Champions swept on to a great victory, allowing Union but two points on free throws. The Union High girls smoothed things over a little for local rooters by coming from behind in a last period rally and winning 15-9. The conditions under which the girls' game was played allowed the Union first string girls to play in the last five minute period only, but they scored 10 points in that period, holding Huntington scoreless in the meantime. The boy's game was rough, fast, and furiously played. Several foils were made in the first three minutes, but none was turned to advantage. The first score came, however, on an attempted free throw—Mayer taking the rebound and sinking the ball for two points. Borden put Union on even terms with two successes from the foul line; single points by Allen for Huntington and "Billy" Borden for Union knotted things again 3-3; Corney nipped several impressive Huntington rallies, and then both teams lapsed into inaccuracy in shooting and frequent fouling, due chiefly to the close guarding of both teams.

After this Deacon Guy, the chairman, asked for an offering for the work of the church. It is reported that nearly ninety dollars was given. Many congratulations were spoken concerning the work of the choir and its capable members. They have already been accepted to sing before white churches and societies.

The choir is also sung for the Junior Chamber of Commerce. WILLING WORKERS' BOARD The Willing Workers' Board of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church held its last regular meeting with Mrs. Sarah Harley, of Rugby street. The meeting was opened with devotionals, after which routine business was transacted.

Each one played his part well, beginning with the pastor, Dr. Allen, the assistant superintendent, C. J. Williams, the well trained orchestra, each teacher and pupil. Superintendent, Deacon W. H. Stokes, was confined to his home under the care of the doctor. This is the third Sunday he has missed in nineteen years. At 11:30 a. m., the organist, Miss Colden, played a very enjoyable prelude, which meant it was time for morning service. After the order of service, Dr. Allen, for the boys, met with their faces beaming with light to hear the sermonette. Dr. Allen used for his text: "He Was Lame from his Of feet." using for his subject: "Being Kind to Others." Not only the boys enjoyed this sermonette, but the grown-ups as well. Then Dr. D. B. Modona excelled himself when he preached the morning sermn to a waiting congregation, using for his text, Hebrews 13:8. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." At 3 p. m., the pastor, officers, choir and congregation went to worship with the Central Baptist Church, Berkley, Dr. Griffin, pastor. They returned expressing themselves as having had a most cordial welcome, and a wonderful service. 5:30 p. m., Mrs. A. L. Lee, called the young folks in the B. Y. P. U. service. A very inspiring program was rendered, and a most helpful topic was discussed. At 7:47 p. m., Rev W. A. Baker proclaimed an excellent sermon, subject "Isaiah's Vision." The large audience was thrilled with his message. Six persons joined the Church. Several visitors were in attendance. Next Sunday, March 15th, the pastor, Dr. Allen, will preach, this being the first time he has done so since leaving the hospital. At 7:30 p. m., he will preach from the subject, "The Man Who Held the Devil's Coat." MR. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The entire membership individually collectively, is working in one accord to put over the building program, and all eagerly await the coming of this Lord's Day to register in the first call. The Sunday school is progressing nicely, new members are added weekly, spectacular growth being recorded in the pastor's class. The pastor preached at both services last Sunday and thrilled the audience with powerful Gospel truths. The Lord's Supper was administered at the close of the evening preaching service, spiritual enthusiasm run high and the Lord was not lacking for a witness, and are coming in a constant stream, and God is prospering the church. The Junior Missionary and the Camp-Fire Girls auxiliaries are doing nice work. The Slab Town Convention as presented by the Missionary Circle on last Monday night was a great success. Every seat in the building was taken. The Willing Workers met at the residence of Mrs. Dashields, Hale street. A goodly number was in evidence, discussing with enthusiasm their well laid plans for future activities. A dainty repast was served by Mrs. Dashields. The Ladies' Aid Society assembled in regular session at the residence of Mrs. Fannie Brien, Middle street. The help was spent pleasantly in helpful discussions and fancy needlework. At the close of the meeting, the members and visitors were served to an appetizing menu. QUEEN ST. BAPTIST CHURCH Attendance at the morning service was unusually large. Every available seat was taken and Dr. F. W. Williams preached an eloquent sermon from Isaiah 53:4-5 from the subject, "Jesus, Our Sin Bearer." Dr. Williams outlined how the prophet leaders for God had labored, suffered and died for God and His cause, setting and example for the people of today to lead better lives and a higher life. He said it took some one to come who would be a vicious sufferer in order that Heaven might be the abode of man. The followers of Jesus, said Rev. Williams, irrespective of color, must have a loving heart for all mankind. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Services here Sunday were very interesting and helpful. Dr Smith preached at the morning service a very acceptable sermon from Exodus 25. At the evening service he preached the 31st annual sermon of the R. S. V. D. of Moses. The minister laid particular stress on the importance of obedience to the law. Sunday school was out in large numbers with several visitors present. The joint campaign between the school and the V. C. E. Society came to a close Monday night. Mrs. Maggie Temlyn; of Goff, street, candidate for the Sunday school, sold the highest number of votes. She was elected president and inaugurated.

A., Cumberland street, Sunday afternoon, and in Lassier, the chairman of its entertainment committee, presiding. The men were welcomed to the Association by Miss Butler, the secretary, who pointed out the similar ways both groups were working toward the improvement of young men and women.

Dr Billips accepted these tokens in a most appreciative manner.

Bowling, a fellow replete with knowledge and instruction subject; "Our Need for Preparedness" Nahum 2.1. This need was so clearly shown, three persons discovered themselves unprepared and were happily converted. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended and greatly enjoyed. Both organizations put on plans to celebrate Easter. These organizations were plunged into deep sadness when their respective leaders turned to them of the sudden loss of Miss Edwina Anderson, who was a faithful and loyal member of both organizations. At night Rev. Bowling preached from the subject: "The Man Who Was Buried In His Own Garden," II Kings 18:5. This was interesting and very suggestive. The day closed with big crowds, good collections and spiritual results in the HOME-LIKE CHURCH. BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN At the morning service Rev Scott Miller, the pastor, used as a subject for his sermon, "Daniel Saved the Wise Men of Babylon." Sunday school and C. E. were very well attended.

We are rewarded for such living by a resulting increase in the attainment of Christian character that commands manifold influence for the accomplishment of all that is good and noble. Because of it we are given greater power with G o d. Our lives will, in proportion as we advance, become supremely rich in those Christian graces, which adorns more color and beauty the Spiritual Life.

"It is written in the scroll of fate," he declared, "that the nation that deserts the teachings of the Bible, or the individual that deserts this book is inevitably doomed."

"The Bible is the only hope of humanity, individually and collectively," he declared. C. A. Palmer presided. A male chorus under the direction of Walter C. Fulford rendered several selections. The mayor was introduced by V. C. Hodges. First U. P.

Senator Glass Opposed Howard Appropriation (Continued from Page One) gress of the United States would approximate for it." appropriate. Senator Bruce replied that "there is no need for having an institution aided by Congress to provide for the education of white dentists." He denied the principle of race discrimination was involved. Senator Bruce declared that, "There is nobody in the United States who believes more completely than I do in drawing a hard and fast line of social distinction between the Negro and the white race; and I am not moved in the slightest degree by any political considerations, because in the State of Maryland only a handful of Negroes, if any, so far as I ever vote the Republican ticket. I ever vote, that we have this race on our hands; we owe them a duty; and is entirely in keeping with the policy of the Government for years back to make an appropriation of this kind. "It is just impossible, if the Senator will stop for a moment to think, to make any appropriation for the benefit of the Negro race without involving such a degree of coercion, because, of course, we cannot have coeducation, in this part of the world at any rate, of Negroes and white people, and consequently the Government could not make any apperception of the Negroes without what the Senator from Virginia calls discrimination."

In the mortgages on homes and other properties of members of the race the company has invested in the real estate and in many instances, it has saved such persons or institution; from complete ruin or loss of their holdings. A remarkable aggressiveness on the part of the Southern Aid officers and field worgers, is attested and the fact is considered that the company operates in a very limited territory and issues risks covering only sickness, accident and death. Not only does the annual statement show that the company has grown to be a financial Gibraltar employer, it has dignified employment to hundreds of colored men and women, saved homes and business institutions to the race. The affairs of the Southern Aid Cociety of Va., Inc., are directed by the following Board and Officers: Jas. T. Carter, president and general counsel; B. L. Jordan, secretary-manager; B. L.

PART TWO PAGES.7 TO 12 ver 400 Patients Are created At Tidewater clinic In Five Weeks my Seek Medical Attention At New Health station Uptown; Maternity Ward Withive Beds Ready For Occupancy ed with proper care. The presence of other children, and usual distractions of the home frequently contribute to the tardy recovery of the mother and have other disagreeable effects. Then there is the question of proper attention by a properly trained nurse. During confinement in the maternity ward, of course, this attention is always available. Rest, comfort, care and treatment that are seldom obtainable in the home are at the disposal of expectant mothers who will enter maternity ward on Henry street. It constitutes the first step toward a lying-in hospital for the race in Norfolk and the Graduate Nurses' Association hopes that within the year the place will have so well met with public support as to warrant the addition of more beds and enforced facilities. The association under its president, Mrs. Lula Foster, R. N., has worked ardously to bring about a to the women of Norfolk and natur solution of this problem peculiarly takes modest pride in the success of their efforts so far. Alley Romance is Smashed by Shot Of Ardent Lover Alley Romance is Smashed by Shot Of Ardent Lover (Christus Attacks Service) Washington, D. C., Mar. 13—Last Wednesday, Alice Gordon of Glick's Alley, was pursued to her home by a former but rejected lover, Shelton Madison of Freeman's court, but escaped him and thus so angered him that he ra namuck in the house, smashed the furniture, caused a younger sister to jump, through the window, disarmed two policemen who came to arrest him and was later shot by reinforcements. Madison is now in Freedmen's Hospital with a bullet in his abdomen and in a critical condition. He is a youngster of the "sheik" type and insisted that his former relations with Alice Gordon, the object of his affections, be restored. Alice objected, he chased her to her home, with an open knife, she fled to the refuge of an aunt living nearby, and so enraged young Madison that he fired seven shots at her father who was on an upper floor, chased the mother out of the house, with an infant baby in her arms, and frightened the sister, Elsie, who jumped from a second story window and injured herself. The disturbance in the alley attracted the attention of two policemen, who wer quickly disarmed by Madison and who returned to the precinct station to secure reinforcements. The five officers who made the second attempt to arrest Madison, surrounded the house and one of them shot him, after forcing a door in the kitchen where he had taken refuge. Woman Burglar To (By Preston News Service) Little Rock, Ark., Mar., 14—Mrs. Thelma Hampton, alleged leader of a gang of burglars, was convicted last Wednesday on three charges of burglary and grand burgary by a jury and Judge Wade sentenced the woman to five years in the penitentiary. The woman was charged with having entered several homes and alleged to have taken dresses, silencervace and jewelry. George Evans, alleged member of the woman's gang, was convicted of similar charges and sentenced to serve one year on the road gangs William Davis and Mrs. Blanche Walker implicated in the thefts and charged with receiving stolen goods will be tried later. Good Samaritan Lodge Signs Its Property Away Good Samaritan Lodge Signs Its Property Away (Special to Journal and Guide) Goldshoro, N. C., Mar. 13—Under the impression they were giving a mortgage to secure a renewal of a long standing loan, officers and trustees of Virtue Lodge No. 37, Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria, a race fraternal organization here, gave J. W. C. Smith, of Kinston, alleged deputy of the order, a deed in fee simple to their lodge property on Pine street, it was learned when an action growing out of the transaction came up before Wayne county superior court for the trial of civil cases. Smith was sued for $2,700, but the cases was compromised upon his paying $750. Building Construction Advances Slowly Cleveland, Ohio, Mar. 12.—Cleveland has been a little slow to absorb surplus Negro labor, because of the slow advance of building construction and street-paving activities. However, it is believed that contractors in charge of Cleveland's, new Union Station, Tidewater Clinic, opened in building on Henry street, form the First Calvary Baptist parishonage, under supervision of the City Health Department for the special treatment of patients, has already concluded that it is fill most urgent need in this unity.

Maternity Ward the same building there has opened under the management of the Tidewater Association graduate Nurses, a maternity with five beds. This ward, its sponsors hope may some prove to have been the nurse a maternity hospital for mothers of this city, is only exclusive lying-in institution in Norfolk, where women of colored race may feel free to side of a maternity ward suggested some time ago top of women by Miss Nelson, health nurse. The Mothers, associated with numerous women's organizations, took idea and stressed the need of such an institution here, idea, for some reason, how did not materialize until the nurse Evans took up the projct without the assistance of other organizations. The ward, although modest in iniments, has all the necessities for its operations. Pauline Evans is also the nurse here.

Warns Against Labor Conditions (By Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., Mar. 11. Despite the numerous warnings in the colored newspapers to the contrary and setting forth the true labor conditions in the north, men from the rural sections of Virginia and many other southern states seem to persistently hold to the vague rumor that there is at present a demand for unskilled labor in the steel regions; consequently they are coming in droves almost daily to this city in anticipation of being shipped north to the waiting jobs. Richmond being one of the main shipping points is already becoming crowded with disappointed laboring men, many of whom leave their homes with just enough money to get here with. CATHOLICS DRIVETO BRING MORE RACE PEOPLE IN CHURCH Special Appeal Signed By Cardinals Sent Churches Urging Serius Thought of Negroes and Indians. (By Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Mar. 13.—Negro and Indian Missions of the Catholic Church are the subject of a special appeal signed by Cardinal Dougherty, of Philadelphia, Cardinal Hayes, of New York, and Archbishop Curley, of Baltimore, and sent to all Catholic Churches of the country. The appeal takes cognizance of the fact that of 10,000,000 Negro Americans, few are Catholics, and states that the condition is not due to indifference on part of the Negro. It is stated that wherever Catholics have opened schools in the South for Negroes they are taxed to capacity and hundreds are turned away for lack of means. Three seminaries supply priests for work among colored people. A new preparatory seminary at Newburgh, on the Hudson, is being built by the Fathers of the Society of St. Joseph. There are 124 students being educated there for colored work exclusively. In Mississippi the Fathers of the Divine Word are engaged in educating colored boys for priesthood. Another seminary in Tennant, N. J., has been started by the Lyonsese Fathers of the African Missions. Set Date For Actors Union Meeting (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Mar. 5—The members of the Colored Actors Union have been called to Washington for a meeting on March 18 and the call bears the information that officials of the Theater Owners' Booking Association will be present for the purpose of discussing with the Union the matters that pertain to improved conditions on the circuit. The Union announces that it will have an official organ, the first issue of which will appear on April 1, 1925. The Journal will be a monthly, called the Actors' Union News and will be edited by Bacf Kennett, traveling deputy and Telfair Washington, the secretary of the Union. S. H. Dudley will be the business manager. It will be distributed at five cents per copy. The announcement does not state whether it will be generally distributed or circulated entirely within Union circles. now under construction will soon have need of Negro labor. It is also expected that the Bell Telephone Company and Western Reserve University may soon begin construction operations which will absorb some of Cleveland's excess Negro labor, which has for some time past been out of employment. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 Piedmont Sanatorium Greatly Needs Ten Thousand Dollars To Carry On Health Work Institution Making Creditable Record in Tubercular Cures. No Housing Facilities For Visiting Relatives and Physicians Mr. Allen Washington, president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, has released a very interesting statement calling attention to the achievement of some of the purposes of the society that have been of considerable benefit to the race in this State. sanatoriums in the State, there are persons and organizations contributing towards beds and other necessities. Is there not something you can do? Will you not respond and lend your assistance? Yra-yslo His statement points out that although the organization has in the past concentrated its activities on the educational status of the colored people, it has been no less active in a drive for better health conditions for Negroes. Piedmont Sanatorium, at Burkeville, Va., the only institution in Virginia devoted exclusively to the treatment of tubercular colored people, was made possible very largely thru the efforts of the Negro Organization Society. At present the institution is solely in need of a building for the housing of visitors to patients and physicians spending brief periods at the Sanatorium studying cases. Major Allen Washington urgently invites the citizens of Virginia to make this building possible by their donations. In this respect he says: "The Negro Organization Society has for its motto: 'Better Schools, Better Health, Better Homes, Better Farms.' It is along these lines that the Society has been exerting its strength for a number of years. If the people are aroused in the interest of health, homes, education and farms, there is no doubt that there will be evidenced a far different condition than that at present exists. Perhaps more stress has been placed on education than on any of the other objects, but it has, nevertheless, been brought to attention many times that health is the basic factor in life. At the last annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society, facts were brought very permanently before us in the discussion of health conditions among our people, and we were shown that it would be vitally beneficial to all concerned if something were done to improve the health situation. "There may be some in the state who are not aware of the wonderful work being done by us and for us at the Burkeville Sanatorium. Several years ago, Miss Randolph Director of the Bureau of Tuberculosis Education, talked with a number of officials, including Dr. Maton, Dr. Gandy, Dr. Graham and others, and presented the idea of establishing some place other than the State Penitentiary where the Negro consumptives of t h e State could be treated. At that time the State penitentiary was the only place provided for the treatment of Negro consumptives. Our society approved heartily of Miss Randolph's proposition and raised the first $3000.00 for the purchase of the land where t h e Burkeville Sanatorium now stands. Today there are several very substantial buildings, properly equipped, for the cure and treatment of consumptives. It is encouraging to note that a great number of our people, suffering with tuberculosis, both children and adults have gone there and received treatment which has resulted in many persons being cured, other cases arrested, and a number of lives prolonged. "There is no further need of our feeling that tuberculosis cannot be cured, as this theory was exploded some time ago. Anyone knowing of a case of tuberculosis, especially one not far advanced, can have it properly treated by making application to Dr. H. G. Carter, Superintendent, Piedmont Sanatorium, Burkeville, Va. "We regret that relatives and friends who go to Burkeville to see friends, and also the doctors who go there to study the disease, have no suitable place to stay, as Burkeville is a small town and sparsely settled. One of the most urgent needs now is a place where these persons may find comfortable and suitable accommodations. For this reason, the Negro Organization Society has been asked to co-operate with other agencies in the State to solicit contributions for a fund to be used in the erection of a building for accommodating friends of patients and the doctors who go there to study tuberculosis. The society, therefore, appointed a committee with Dr. M. E. Davis, chairman, and Miss Bailor, of the Department of Tuberculosis. To put a drive on for $10,000 for the erection of the building at Piedmont. 10,000 people may give a dollar each, or 20,000 may give fifty cents apiece. Bonds will be issued which may be purchased from the committee, the amount may be determined by the giver, and we hope each one will give as liberally as possible. We shall appreciate any amount that is contributed. We are asking churches, individuals and all interested in the health of our people to come to our rescue at this time. A surprisingly large number of our people are suffering with tuberculosis at present, who could be cared for at the sanatorium, if we had the accommodation. There are 120 beds at present, all filled with patients ranging from twelve to forty years of age. At other sanatoriums in the State, there are persons and organizations contributing towards beds and other necessities. Is there not something you can do? Will you not respond and lend your assistance? Yra-yso HOWARD RECEIVES AN APPROPRIATION OF $591,000.00 Washington, D. C., Mar. 14. Despite an avalanche of opposition from Southern democrats, an item for Howard University in the Interior Department Appropriation Bill carrying $370,000 for a medical school building and $321,000 for maintenance, a total of $591,000 successfully passed the House Saturday, February 28th, and the Senate on Monday, March 2nd. At last, Howard University is assured an adequate building for its School of Medicine so that it may meet the pressing call for additional colored doctors, dentists, and pharmacists. The request for a medical school building has been before Congress for a number of years, each year heretofore being killed in the House or the Senate by Southern opposition. Fight of the Opposition Fight of the Opposition Last year the insistence with which the supporters of the item for the medical school building urged its approval brought forth such a fight against it as seemed to jeopardize the entire appropriation for the University. The attack upon the appropriations for Howard University are usually based upon the contention that there is no authority by law for such appropriations are subject to be thrown out entirely on points of order. There is a bill now before Congress looking to the amendment of the Charter of the University so as to authorize congressional appropriations from year to year which will settle the question of legislative authorization for Howard University. The Congressional friends who helped in connection with the securing of the appropriations for Howard University were primarily Hon. Louis C. Creanton, of Mich.; Hon. Mattin B. Madden, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, of Illinois; Hon. B. L. French, of Idaho; Sen. Reed Smoot, of Utah; Sen. Lawrence C. Phipps, of Col.; Sen. William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee, of Mass.; Sen. Royal S. Copeland, of N. Y.; and Sen. William C. Bruce, of Maryland.

BY A STRAY BULLET IN SHOOTING MELEE (Special in The Journal and Guide) Wilson, N. C., Mar. 13. A killing occurred on the farm of Mrs. T. B. Sugars, about six miles from this city, when a number of men having gathered for a party, and when Lula Thomas got into an argument with Jim Hagan, during which she attacked him with a knife, Hagan grabbed a shot gun and struck her over the head inflictting painful injuries. Jordan Thomas, husband of the woman produced a pistol and shot Hagan in the arm, following which Slaughter brought his artillery into action firing several shots that dispersed the crowd. An hour later Curry was found dead in an adjailing room, a stray bullet having penetrated his head between the eyes. The report of the killing reached the city and officers investigated the case and arrested Slaughter and Thomas, and also Gaston Crutchfield and Edgar Grudup, the shooting having occurred in the home of the latter.

McCANTS ANDREWS IN CASE AND WHITE LAWYERS WITHDRAW Prominent Sanford Firm Requests Permission to Quit When Race Attorney Insists on Pleading Case. (Special to the Journal and Guide) Raeigh, N. C., Mar. 14—With R. McCants Andrews, attorney from Durham, sitting at one side of the counsel table and three of the most prominent lawyers in the State grouped around the other, the trial of the damage suit for $15,800 growing out of the death in 1922, of Ernest Thomas, Colored miner in the Lee County Mines of the Cummock Coal Company, got underway in Federal court on the 4th of March, before Judge Isaac M. Mookins and a jury. Before the trial began Hoyle and Hoyle, of Sanford, and Little and Barnes, of Raleigh, asked and obtained permission to withdraw as counsel for L. R. Ragland, administrator for the deceased, who is the plaintiff in the action. Ragland engaged Andtews as his attorney and gave him power of attorney, which he later revoked and retained Hoyle and Hayle, who associated the Raleigh firm. Andrews refused to recognize the revocation and objected to efforts of the other counsel to amend the pleadings, insisting upon his rights under a contract for a percentage of any recovery he might obtain.

The house was beautifully decorated with azalias and Boston ferns and cut flowers. Just before the bride entered the room, Misses A. L. Freeman, of Washington, N. C. sang, very sweetly: "Afterwards." Then, the wedding march was played by Miss K. C. Harbison, while little Miss Lucile Fowler entered carrying a basket of carnations and roses. Next came little Miss Erneste Fowler, carrying the ring in a carnation, then the groom escorted by Mr. N. E. Pervis, of Wilmington, N. C., followed by the bride, beautifully wreathed in white crope, with a wreath of forget-me-nots and a bouquet of carnations and ferns, escorted by Miss L. R. Harbison, of Morganton, N. C.

C.—The following persons from Roxobell Training School were in town on Saturday: Misses Mande Fitts, Sadie Fitts, Mabel C. Hardy, Gladys Joyner, Albania Joyner, Mr. Ed. Sprulll, Misses Maude and Sadie Fitts, and Mabel Hardy are teachers in the training school. While in town they were the guests of Mrs. Bamie Myrick. Sunday school was very well attended the first Sunday morning. An appreciative crowd gathered to witness the B. Y. P. U. program Sunday night. Deacon J. E. Lawrence introduced the topic. A lively discussion followed. *The enrollment at the graded school is holding up very well. It is earnestly hoped that parents will try to keep their children in school until it closes. There are a number of schools which do not have the proper number of teachers, because the parents will not send their children regularly. For instance, some schools have three teachers. During the month of January and February the enrollment ranges from 200 to 250, which is too much work for three teachers. They have their hands full to keep them quiet, saying nothing of trying to teach them. The enrollment in March and April will fall back to 50 or 75. This would give perhaps an average daily attendance for the term of 75 or 80. It can be clearly seen that this works a hardship to both the teacher and pupil, for NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE where there is an enrollment of 250 pupils, the daily average for the term certainly should not fall below 200. This number would give a district in Hertford county about 7 teachers. But how can the teachers be secured when people will not send their children. They style the producing of cotton and corn far more important than the producing of well prepared men and women. The writer knows people who have been so sentent on getting rich that they have kept their children out of school, yet they died poor; and their children have been left in this world to grope in ignorance the rest of their lives. Education is a tool. It is a great transforming power which pieces down into the mysterious, spiritual principles of mind and starts that into activity and growth. Thomas Jefferson must have had in mind the transforming power of education, when he penned these immortal words: "If you educate the Negro, you unfit him for a slave." Let the parents do all they can to keep their children in school that they may not have their future usefulness blighted. Pageant At Shw University (Special to Journal and Guide) Raleigh, N. C., Mat. 12.—On Sunday night, the fourth year high school class of Shaw University, under the direction of Miss Appleton, one of the young women teachers, produced a pugnant, "Elijah." Both in material and in production the pageant was in every way a credit to the school, especially considering the fact that throughout it was the work of the students of the fourth year class, every word, as I understand, having been written by the students themselves with only slight alterations and corrections by the teacher in charge. The stage setting and costuming were simple but effective and a rather ingenious lighting arrangement gave a touch of realism that the audience appreciated. Young Turner, who wrote and read both the prologue and the epilogue, was pleasing in both the quality, and the tone of his voice. He succeeded admirably in preparing his hearts for the events to be portrayed in rapid moving succession by the actors and in summarizing and interpreting the action at the close. Too much praise cannot be given to Miss Appleton for giving these boys and girls the opportunity to express themselves in this way and so proving that our boys and girls, not only can do what other young people do, but will respond with excellent results where properly led.

LOUISIANASUPREME COURT APPROVES SEGREGATION LAW Holds Ordinance Barring Colored Citizens From Residence On Certain Streets Constitutional. Joe Grleunus, La., Mar. 12.—The supreme Court of Louisiana gave a stamp of approval on the congregation ordinance passed by the city council some weeks ago, which prohibits Negroes from establishing residences in white residential neighborhoods and whites from residing in Negro neighborhoods. The case was the outgrowth of a suit for a restraining injunction by a white man residing in one side of a duplex house to prevent the owner from renting the other side to Negroes. Indications are that the case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, as Negroes are reported to be enthusiastically subscribing to a $40,000 fund necessary to take the case to the higher court. It is said that the case has now attracted nationwide attention and many cities such as Louisville, Richmond, Washington, Baltimore and others are watching the Louisiana case with interest.

Surprise Birthday Party Tendered Rev C. M. Cartwright Surprise Birthday Party Tendered Rev C. M. Cartwright Elizabeth City, N. C., Mar. 13.—Dr. C. M. Curtwright, pastor of the First Baptist Church here, was completely and greatly surprised by the members and officers of the church Monday evening, March 2, with a birthday party tendered him at the parsonage under auspices of the Usher Board. Well laid plans were carried out by those in charge of the affair in order to assure an absolute surprise. Monday afternoon the pastor returned from Windsor, where he has also pastored for a number of years. Immediately upon his return he was invited to address the Usher Board which was scheduled to hold an important meeting and made a brief, but pungent talk, following which those present expressed their pleasure at having him with them. Following the dismission of the meeting, Deacon J. H. Perkins purposely detained Dr. Cartwright in the church for a few minutes while the crowd quietly filed out and into the parsonage where they secreted themselves in dark rooms to await the arrival of the guards of honor. Concluding his conversation with Deacon Perkins, Dr. Cartwright stalled towards the parsonage for the purpose of prying over some matters that required his presence in the minister's home. Not thinking of what was in store for him, the pastor entered the door of his library in his usual manner, when suddenly a flash of electric lights greeted him. So astonished was he when he saw the blaming faces of the Usher Board and other officers and members that he seemed at first bereft of speech. Suddenly it dawned upon Dr. Cartwright just when the events transpiring meant. All most choked with emotion he then in a few words expressed his complete surprise and deep gratification for such a demonstration as had been staged in his honor. Mrs. J. T. Ragnor was introduced and made a short and impressive address informing the pastor of the sincere affection the church membership held for him in appreciation of the unlimited and untiring services he has rendered the congregation and the city during his 23 years pastorate. Mr. S. H. Jeekins was selected to present the pastor a valuable gift donated by the Pastor's Aid Society. M. Perry Taylor presented tokens coming from individuals. Following these preliminaries the guests were served delicious refreshments. Dr. Curtwright began his pastorate here at a time when the church COURTLAND Courtland, Va.-Mr. and Mrs. George Alston and Mr. John Alston, of 2510 Barre street, Nortolk motored here Sunday and were the guests of Mrs. Uisula Evans and Mrs. Rebie Williams, her sister. *Miss Mary J.

It was also rally day. *Mrs. Natalie V. Owens, of Portsmouth, spent the week-end with her mother, Mrs. Sarah Artis Hamlin. *Services at David Temple A. M. E. Zion Church was good Sunday.

KING TO GROW BEETS London.—King George has contracted to grow beets at Sandringham for a new sugar factory a Spalding. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE TY MODERN CHURCH Cartwright, pastor, and parsonage. was in a most depressing condition both financially and otherwise. The membership was insignificant and continued to dwindle. T h e church edifice was in such a dislipidated condition that condemnation proceedings against its further use would have been entirely in order. Many of his friends, who had his personal interest at heart, candidly advised against his accepting the leadership of this poor congregation. It is known that on many visits from his home in Edenton to this city, after preaching to the congregation here, the public collection did not suffice to afford him the price of a return ticket home. Stern opposition and bitter fictional fights were rife against him and in the church by several of the influential members in those days. Dr. Cartwright, secure in the right, never faltered amidst all of these obstacles and gradually enemies were converted into friends and loyal supporters, factions died a natural death. The old make-shift for a house of worship was abandoned and standing in its stead today is a beautiful brick building that would do credit to any city the size of this one. Close upon the completion of the church a modern and well equipped personage was built. Making still further progress only a short time intervened before the Men's Club of the church purchased four lots in the rear of the building, thereby adding to the holdings of the congregation. Dr. Cartwright's uncompromising opposition to nickle parties and other parties designed to raise money for the church was the main cause of his disfavor among a large group of his members. He never wavered from his position, however, contending all along that such methods of producing funds for the House of God were improper. His birthday fell on March 1, but on account of his absence from the city on that date the reception in his honor had to be deferred to it later. Those present were: Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Cartwright, Mrs. Addie P. C. Moore of Pittsburgh Pa.; Mrs. T. J. Kayne, Mrs. M. E. Nixon, Mrs. S. W. Hill, Mrs. Gee Murray, Mrs. Crecey Stenell, Mrs. Emma Murden, Mrs. Maggie Spellman, Mrs. Mee Hyrum, Mrs. Emma J.

EASTVILLE Eastville, Va.—On the evening of February 27, the Tidewater Institute debating team won from the Princess Anne Academy's debating team on the question, "Resolved: That several States should ratify the child labor law." Misses Helen Mapp and Bessie Banks were the speakers upholding the negative; Messrs. Light and Creek were the speakers representing Princess Anne Academy, of Princess Anne, Maryland. Never before in the history of Tidewater Institute was there more of that "old Tidewater spirit" exhibited, both by the debaters and students, who cheered them on to victory than was exhibited that evening.

FARRA CAUSE MUCH ALABAMA Kiwanian Thinks Big Question Is to Resettle Region Left Deserted by Migration of Colored Workers North. (By Preston News Service) Montgomery, Ala., Mar. 13.—Shortage of productive man power in the leven Black Belt counties of Alabama was dwell upon in a talk before the Montgomery Kiwanis Club Tuesday by Jeso B. Hearin. Mr. Hearin made a number of striking statements, based upon his investigation of economic conditions in the black belt. Among other things he said: "There are but 9,000 white men 21 years of age and above in the whole of Montgomery county. "There are less than 26,000 white men 21 years of age and over in the eleven counties of the Alabama Black Belt. Since the beginning of the recent migration of Negroes from the South, twice as many Negroes have left these eleven Black Belt counties as there are white men above 21 years of age in this section." Mr. Heinr remarked about the high quality of the citizenship of the black Belt, the natural fertility of the Black Belt soil, and said that in his opinion the whole problem revolves about this question of peopling the Black Belt's fertile lands. He said that this must come before the South can hope to get industries for the cities. "Once solve the land problem, and industries, I think, will naturally follow." Florence and Bobogne are to be directly connected by a railway backed by the Italian Government. Railroads insist that employees' watches do not vary more than 30 seconds a week.

Smith preached a special sermon to the boys using the text "Sow in the morn thy seed." The sermon was an admonition to the youth of the church, to sow seeds of good habits; habits of thrift, of kindness to all; habits of consecrated service. He assured them that if they observed these things they would reap a glorious reward. At this service Master Wm. Smith sang a solo, as did also Mr. Wm. Gibbs. Both numbers were well well. At three o'clock another interesting program was rendered, consisting of vocal and instrumental numbers. The vocal solos by Messrs. Bonner and Weston and Council, lute solo by Mr. Theo. Snowden, and violin solo by Jos. Tazwell were much enjoyed. The best performance of the program, however, was the oration by Mr. Vernon Ashe, who held his hearers spellbound as he discoursed on the subject "The Influence of Example." Little Master Roland Harris gave a splendid recitation, subject, "The Boy's Part. The night services were very largely attended, the features of this program being the solo by Mr. Givens, the Guitar of the Male Choir, and the oration by Mr. Albert Brown who used as his subject "The Boy's Place in the Church." This oration was also highly commended by all. EXTENSION CLASS The Portsmouth Extension Class of Union University met in regular session on last Saturday afternoon at the C. S. S.. The work of the day proved most interesting. By special request of the class, the teacher, Prof. M. W. Connor, gave a review of his book, The Process of Education," which he presented to the class. The review was listened to with rapt attention as Prof. Connor in a brief but clear way explained the fundamental conditions that are essential for good school room work on the part of both teacher and pupil. This was done under the subject, "The Nature of the Curriculum," "The Nature of the Child," "The Nature of the Teacher," and "The Nature of the teacher" that no system summary question reach a point of high efficiency where any one of these elements is lacking. After this interesting treatise the class began its work for the second semester. The subject now being studied is "Beginnings in Educational Measurement." Judging from the interest in the subject it is safe to say the course will be very helpful. The Shallow District Convention which was repeated at Zion on last Monday night was quite a success. The Convention was attended by a large number of persons who showed their appreciation by long and frequent applause. The receipts from tickets were $66.30; the expenses were $1.25.

CRUMP Journal and Guide Bureau 1212 St. John St. Richmond, Va.—The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity presented a splendid did program at the First Baptist Church Sunday night as a memorial to Col. Chas, Young, U. S. A. While it is known that the birthday of Col. Young is March 12 and was to have been observed by public ceremonies on March 15 the Zeta Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity for some reason saw fit to hold their memorial on March 8. A graphic delineation of Col. Young was presented by Norman R. Olphin, A. B., of the Virginia Union University whose subject, "Significance of the Life of Col. Young," imparted to his students a great knowledge of this splendid character that was hereto fore unknown to the most of the people present. That Col. Young was a great man was brought out by Gordon B. Hancock, of all Union, who delivered the principal address, "Marks of the Superman." Musical numbers were furnished by the Virginia Union University Glee Club and by Miss Alice B. Russell, of New Jersey, who sing three beautiful numbers. Miss Russell is a singer of note, having been brought here just a few days previous to the recital. Sunday was Woman's Day at the Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church, women having entire charge of the church throughout the whole day. In the morning instead of the regular 11 o'clock preaching services there was a very nice program rendered by the ladies of the church, a stirring address was delivered by Mrs. Jas. S. Hatcher, wife of Rev. Hatcher, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. The Junior Epworth League had charge in the afternoon, and at the night service another wonderful program was presented in the form of instrumental as well as vocal solos, recitations and music by the Choral Glee Club, of the W. Y. C. A. The principal address was delivered by Miss L. H. McA Children's Day was observed at the Y. W. C. A. Building Sunday evening when the vesper service program was conducted by little children, who performed wonderfully well. All of the little girls taking part were members of their organization known as The Busy Workers Club. The singing and recitations were especially good, and deserve a lot of credit. It isn't very often, if it ever does happen, that one organization gives two balls during one son, but this was the case of Wall Street Ballet Club, which held its second ball of the season Friday night last. The over-increasing popularity of the great club was demonstrated in this. Their first affair, held some weeks ago, was such a success that they were asked by many to repeat it. The hall was filled to almost overflowing, still everybody had a good time. NEWPORT NEWS Newport News, Va.-Mrs. C.

What is getting into the old folks anyhow? Really, it is a scream, this filing of a divorce suit by a man 106 years old. We regard it as a distinct gain that the white and colored farmers of Madison, Ga., have met together and formulated plans to produce the best results from farming in Morgan county. If the white and colored farmers of all the counties of the South should cooperate in the like way, the South would soon "blossom as a garden of the cord." The Trade Week in Norfolk, beginning March 21, and ending March 28, to boost our business interests, should be a memorable event in the history of the race in Norfolk. We have many business interests here, but we should have more, and a good way to advertise the fact is to set aside Trade Weeks when those interests can properly be presented and boosted.

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. 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. Many persons are disposed to sneer at "the faithful old servants of the old slave master class," generally damning them as "Uncle Toms," and to dey as hypocritical any show of sympathy towards these old servants by the descendants of those they faithfully served. We are not among those. Those old servants did the best they knew in the hard conditions they found themselves, and any appreciation of their service by those they served shows a disposition which should be encouraged and commended. The Confederate Veterans of Cleveland county, N. C., have just added to the pension rolls the name of Philip Roseboro, along with the names of thirty whites, to the pension list, because he served faithfully his master, Captain John Roseboro, during the four years of the war. He did his duty and the Confederate soldiers now give him a helping hand, as they have always given him their sympathy, now when he most needs help in his old age. We say, Amen, which, being interpreted, reads, so be it. Editorial Page of The Supreme Power In Church Government There should not be any question as to where is to be found the supreme power in Church government; that is, what constitutes the law and the law-making body of the Church; but there is and has long been such a question in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and many of the other denominations, and the question has given those concerned much confusion of counsel and trouble. Not only that; the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Church has been so persistently functioning after the adjournment of the General Conferences, and concerning itself in such a way with the affairs of the Church, as to create in the minds of many of the members of the Church, and those outside of it, the impression that the Bishops' Council was a coordinate power with the General Conference and could function in large part as such in matters relating to the Church, and unfinished business coming over from the General Conference, which meets only once in every four years. All of us can appreciate, therefore, the value of the address delivered on the subject at the recent meeting of the Connectional Council, at Wilmington, N. C., by Mr. John R. Hawkins, the financial secretary of the denomination, and a man competent to present the facts in the case and express an opinion as to the facts. This, Mr. Hawkins has done in a leaflet reprint of the address which we have received. He has done the work thoroughly and left no doubt as to the law and the law-making power of the African Methodist Eniscopal Church at least. Mr. Hawkins shows that the law of the Church is the discipline, made up of enactments of the General Conferences, from the first, in April, 1816, when Richard Allen was elected the first Bishop. Mr. Hawkins concludes that, in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, "Our only legislative body is the General Conference," and "Our book of discipline is the code embodying our declaration of principles, as our constitution or chart, together with the enactments of our General Conference." That should be final, and we suppose it is, as it was unanimously adopted by the Wilmington Connectional Council. Of course, the work of the Church is apportioned among many departments, whose heads are selected by the General Conference, and who are necessarily responsible to that body only, to which they must report upon the work of their departments. There is a tendency, not only in Church Government, but in the Federal and State governments, and in organizations of all kinds, to encroach upon, if not to usurp, the law and the law-making power, and substitute some other form of administration, often group and personal, and the troubles in all our administration of affairs is traceable to this tendency. It should be curbed, and the way to do it most effectively is to collect the facts and present them in the way that Mr. Hawkins has done. Labor and Invention Throughout the whole progress of science and invention there have been those who have viewed the advent of every labor saving device as man's curse rather than his blessing. The old-time printer, standing over his case setting up an entire newspaper by hand, ridiculed the linotype until it had demonstrated its usefulness, then sullenly hemanacked its coming as a destroyer of his bread-winning opportunity. The industrious maid who boasted of her ability to sweep the big house from cellar to garret in a single day frowned on the appearance of the automatic sweeper. The plowman, sweating behind a none too tractable mule, swore at the approach of the tractor. All of these pessimists painted in their own imaginations gloomy pictures of the inevitable end of hand-labor and the consequent starvation of the laborer. No realization has come out of this gloomy mind picture, notwithstanding, inventions designed to supplant man-power have followed rapidly upon each other. The fact is, the very people who protested that these devices meant their ruin have since been blessed by their existence, and shudder to think of going back to the old way of doing things. The Virginian Railway Company has recently installed a giant electric coal trimmer on its piers at Sewell's Point. This machine will practically revolutionize the bunkering of ships. It is designed to do the work in one hour that would ordinarily require scores of men a day to complete. It is reported that the sight of this device gluttonously grabbing up coal has made sick the heart of many a coal trimmer. They say the thing will mean the end of the good old days when a trimmer could get all the work he could do, and a fat pay envelope on Saturday.

Maybe it will do that very thing, but --- time moves on and progress is the watchword. At best it will be only an auxiliary to the human element. Oh yes, men will be needed in its operation; men with just a little more intelligence, maybe, than was required to pick up a shovel of coal. Men capable to master that giant machine and make of it man's dutiful servant will hold their jobs. Others may have to go. The House We Live In Getting It Clean By JOHN L. MATTHEWS We observed in the last article, that to insure health and The lessons to be learned from this incident are plain. Common labor is losing out in competition with invention. But skilled and semi-skilled labor is holding its own and making machinery its tool. Any man in any sort of occupation, who ceases to improve mentally and fit himself for the higher niches of industry has no one but himself to blame when progress outstrips him and leaves him stranded on the great maelstrom of human activity. Is. Jazz Becoming Classical We all have our different likes and likes and everybody likes music. The considerable discussion about Jazz. The question among the musicians is "Will Become Classic?" Although we are all musically inclined and some could tell the difference between harmony melody, we know when we hear a piece the masters and when we hear a pos song hit. Leo F. Reisman, who is regarded a leader of the resident Jazz Orehestra in ton opposes arguments against Jazz. must bear in mind that Boston is consist of culture. Mr. Reisman says the leading Jazz composers are Negro Jews, that it may be called a combination of Arabic and African melodies and rhyme. It is a syncopated form of music, elabo with anything from an old derby hat tin pan. It has been said by a student music that ragtime and not jazz was national folk dance, and the Hunga dances, Spanish waltzes, and Polish zurkas were all syncopated dances and closely related to the American syncopated dance. If the cultured critics of Boston tolerate Jazz it stands a chance of becoming classical. It is gratifying to know there are many people who can still articulate the music of the masters. When of a celebrated musician are being renders the auditors are intent on listening; the hardly a murmuring sound, but when is played there is the usual foot accommodation. In our homes during a social hour easy to ask a musician to render a selec but it is hard for most to realize that sit to the performer is a sign of appreciation.

And professional people should be asked to sing at social gatherings, as they are given to understand in advance they will be expected to do so. We all have our different likes and dislikes and everybody likes music. There is considerable discussion about Jazz. The question among the musicians is "Will Jazz Become Classic?" Although we are not all musically inclined and some could not tell the difference between harmony and melody, we know when we hear a piece from the masters and when we hear a popular song hit. Leo F. Reisman, who is regarded as the leader of the resident Jazz Orchestra in Boston opposes arguments against Jazz. We must bear in mind that Boston is considered the city of culture. Mr. Reisman says that the leading Jazz composers are Negroes and Jews, that it may be called a combination of Arabic and African melodies and rhythm. It is a syncopated form of music, elaborated with anything from an old derby hat to a tin pan. It has been said by a student of music that ragtime and not jazz was our national folk dance, and the Hungarian dances, Spanish waltzes, and Polish mazurkas were all syncopated dances and closely related to the American syncopated folk dance. If the cultured critics of Boston can tolerate Jazz it stands a chance of becoming classical. It is gratifying to know that there are many people who can still appreciate the music of the masters. When works of a celebrated musician are being rendered, the auditors are intent on listening; there is hardly a murmuring sound, but when Jazz is played there is the usual foot accompaniment. In our homes during a social hour it is easy to ask a musician to render a selection, but it is hard for most to realize that silence to the performer is a sign of appreciation. Many pianists refuse to play at social gatherings because of lack of appreciation on the part of those who are listening. At times the player can hardly hear himself play for the laughter and loud talking. When dance music is being played it is in order to sing, dance, talk or laugh. When a selection is being rendered by request it is the proper thing to keep quiet, and when this is not done it shows very bad taste. And professional people should not be asked to sing at social gatherings, unless they are given to understand in advance that they will be expected to do so. --- Spirit of the Press Spirit of the Press Credit is a Menace From the Edenton (N. C.) News. From the Exposition (R.C.L. News): Credit is a vice to a great many people, who rarely think that the time sometimes comes to pay; thus credit oftimes is abused and instead of being a benefit becomes a curse.

It was recently pointed out that any girl or boy could go into stores of this country and obtain goods on their father's name, without his knowledge or consent. There is no virtue in saying that the merchants have tender hearts and cannot refuse credit, even when the chances of payment are slim. Such credit becomes an obligation upon the whole community, for it means higher prices to take care of the bad debts that are certain to be made when everyone can get whatever they have a fancy for without the payment of a single penny. Why is it that the retail merchant takes so many more chances in business than does the manufacturer and jobber? When the wholesaler does business with a person or concern the first thought is the standing of the party who is buying the goods, but with the retailer it seems that sales count more than the security that lies behind the transaction. The greatest thing in business is our financial standing, so that every person should guard with jealous care their standing in a community and refrain from buying those things they do not immediately see their way to paying for. It should be remembered that the sweetest purchase is that for which we pay our hard earned money, while those we get the easiest are little appreciated. Saturday, March 14, 1925 elimination. The average person realizes this and does about as follows: If he has no private physician to prescribe for him, he solicits advice from his friends as to a good "blood purifier." Or, in the absence of these, he repairs to the corner drug store and selects from the numerous nostrums, the one which he thinks is best suited to his case—in variably getting one that offers the most, and costs the least. Verily, "the last state of that man is worse than the first."

N. P. to reproduce many of his photographic masterpieces. Now comes Samuel E. Woods, of Cleveland, Ohio, in a letter to the Cleveland Herald, stating that he brought to life the idea for the establishment of the now famous Attucks, Republican club of that city. The organization is almost 19 years old, and has been the backbone of political effort in promoting community advancement, and the political fortunes of Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, now president. Mr. Woods' account of the first meeting, which was attended by Tower Man, is interesting and according to the record. The Attucks Club demonstrates that there can be continued organization in a political way. TID BITS By LEONARD MASSENBURGE Nassau, capital of the Bahama Islands, has a market where sponges are sold. Not a single sponge is brought up by diving. The men are armed with long poles to the ends of which are affixed sharp blades. These are worked on much the same principle as tree pruners, but to reach where the sponges grow the poles have to be eighteen feet in length. The water is so clear that it is easy to see where the crop is lying and even to select and obtain each individual sponge. A couple of thousand of sponges may be on sale any one day and the market is an everyday affair. A large proportion ultimately find a use in stables and as car cleaners. These are the rougher sort; the rest are cleaned and sold as bath sponges. Polarie or the North Star, is to navigators north of the Equator the most important of all stars. It cannot be seen south of the Equator. It is the second Getting It Clean BY JOHN L. MATTHEWS We observed in the last article, that to insure health and happiness one must keep his fleshy habitations clean. This can be done only by the abundant use of water, not spasmodically, but regularly and judiciously. The beneficial results of Nature's most efficient scavenger can never be calculated. We should take a "tip" from the housewife and enjoy health. Here is how. Once or twice a year the good housewife gives her home what may be termed a "general cleaning," in which she bathes and scrubs all that can stand water. Of course, she cleans house every day of all surplus trash and is careful not to allow any dirt to accumulate. But these general "cleanings" are given to remove the hidden particles of dust that inevitably find lodgment in the home despite her best efforts to prevent such. The wonderful "House We Live In," is no exception to this rule, and should therefore be thoroughly purged of this waste. In fact our danger is greater than that in the "home," because we rarely, if ever, have perfect National Negro Health Week, April 8th. It is slipping upon us. What are you doing? The Crepehangers organization has daily sessions in most places; they are undertakers but only cry; they never bury. It's a mighty good thing for nerves that the earthquake did not occur on the date the world was supposed to end. The Man with the Hoe will soon begin his work of digging in. Did you ever handle a nice shiny hoe and skillfully lift the soft clods from about the tender plants? That's getting close to Mother Earth. John D. Rockefeller is 85 and an optimist. Suppose you'll say you could be one too, under the same circumstances. Rockefeller wouldn't be on the throne of financial power today had he always sung the blues. The year 1926 will see, in Philadelphia, the Sesqui Centennial, the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Colored America will have a definite part in the program, and will refresh memory of the present generation on the helpful part our forbears took in those mighty days of the "Republic's birth." We must tell the story so that those who run may read. The newspapers will greatly assist in this educational program. Those who have read the March number of the American magazine, have had a pleasing opportunity to get the story of a remarkable young man of Chicago. King D.

T. T. A. I cannot answer this as I have not the information. Outside of Williams' History of the Negro I know of no other book that has been used as a text book. Negro history is yet in its infancy and although it has great and extended subject, American schools do not take it up. Q. Was Alezander Hamilton a Negro and is the Hamilton Club of Chicago named after him? F. E. M., Chicago. A. Alexander Hamilton was an octooroon and born in the West Indies of mixed parentage. Read upon him as he was a very important character in American star in magnitude at the end of the handle of the "Little Dipper." It is readily found by aid of the pointers of the "Big Dipper," which are the two stars in the bowl of the dipper located farthest from the handle. A line drawn through these stars and extended a distance equal to about five times the distance between them brings us to Polar- Note On Labor Conditions Labor and business conditions in the North are simply shot to pieces. No one seems to know just what is the matter that the promised prosperity hasn't shown some signs of coming. Of course no one expected a big jump from the depression of last year into immediate boom times, but from the soothsayings of bankers, politicians, and publicists, it was expected that things would show some signs of opening. The United States Department of Labor has released a bulletin showing that unemployment is great throughout the entire world and that countries like Norway and Sweden are showing strong along this line which is somewhat out of the ordinary. Our Southern friends will do well to stay away from the big cities as they are overcrowded and little work is going on. Building programs have fallen below the 1024 amount in most large cities and this does not speak well for spring and summer employment. Don't go anywhere to improve your condition unless you have a place waiting for you when you come. That is business sense and common horse sense. New Society Formed At Howard Univ. Washington, D. C., Mar. 5.—A group of students of Howard University, specializing in history, for seeing the benefit to be gained for themselves and the race by deep study and broad research in the field of history recently organized "The Historical Society of Howard University." The purposes of this organization are fourfold: (1). To stimulate an interest in and to reward those students who achieve high scholastic ranking within the department. (2). To establish a museum of documents in the field of history. (3). To reward those whose research in this field shall contribute to our knowledge of the early history and struggles of the Negro in America. (4). To stimulate and encourage propaganda which will give recognition to the deeds of the Negro. Membership in the organization is open to all students specializing in history, but only those members who have shown superior scholarship in the subject will be permitted to suffrage and to wear the society's emblem. The charter members of the organization are as follows: Ralph E. Banks, president; Mae Harper, treasurer; Flora A.
