A officer's, white, which was held at Apple Orchard Camp here from April 16 thru 19, afforded one of the most brilliant examples of Christian tolerance ever recorded in this State, and marked those attending as more truly exemplifying the principles for which the Young Men's Christian Association stands. than any previous gathering in the South has ever done.

The value of the estate is known, but it is understood to run into the hundreds of thousands. The estimate is based upon figures used at courts contest some dozer years ago. The institutions will receive the funds from the death of Mrs. Flor and Troughton, and the schools are to hold the money in trust and each is to create two funds, one to be known is the Lucy Bear Troughton Memorial Scholarship fund by bequest of her husband Charles W.

My wish so far as practicable is to use the aforesaid funds mostly for male students preparing themselves for agricultural and kindred occupations, in the United States, and also if practicable, partly for girl students, preparing themselves for agricultural and kindred occupations in the (Continued on Page Six) JUDGE GRONER TELLS RACE TO OUTCAST CRIMINAL Declares Respectable People Should Not Permit Or Accept Association Of Indulgers In Criminal Practices. POINTS TO GROWTH OF DRUG TRAFFIC LOCALLY The banishing of the lawbreakers from the society of respectable men and women, and regarding them with a contempt that will stigmatize them as unit for the association of decent people, was begun in 1915 by the Grover, of the United States Courts for the Eastern District of Virginia, in an address delivered at St. Paul C. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon, as means that colored citizens might effectively employ to minimize the growth of crime and the laxity or respect for law in the community. "Remember that when you take a criminal upon social equality, he brings you to the level of himself," the judge declared. He scored what is a generally regarded tendency among a number of colored citizens of respectability to accept the association of people known to be indulging in criminal activities. Continuing, Judge Clark afternoon, when a white man is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, he is ostracized and deemed a social outcast by the better element of his race, and the judge demanded to know if a like situation prevailed among the colored people. Many in the audience answered, "No." Forceful Address Judge Groner, who appeared at the church under guspices of the ushers, was accompanied by Postmaster Clinton L. Wright and United States District Attorney Paul Kear. He began his speech, which was characterized as forceful, pungent and strikingly interging, with an historical outline beginning with the landing of the first white settlers at Jamestown and traced the participation of the colored race in material assistance of the Communist downfall of the United States to the legacy of the slaves during the war between the states and quoted statistics showing the economic progress of the race. "There is nothing in the annals of history to equal the material progress of your race in the last sixty years," declared Judge Groner, who stated that 25,000 farms in Virginia are owned by colored people, the total value of which equals 75,000,000. Advised Against Migration The speaker advised the race to remain in the South and take advantage of industrial opportunities here. In the State there are 100 counties, he said, fifty per cent of (Continued on Page Six) ANOTHER "COLOR LINE" QUESTION (By Assorted Negro Press.) Raleigh, N. G. April 23—The News and Observer of this city ruthlessly over the case of a colored bootlegger, is asking a question as to whether Negroes and whites are engaging in the traffic with the whites on one end, the manufacturing, and the Negroes or the other, the bootlegging. Says the News and Observer. "In defending a client charged with moonshining, Max Gardner told the jury that "making liquor is a white man's game and there are not over five Negroes in Cleveland county who knew how to make liquor." Wonder if he took census or was the honorable lawyer indulging in oratorical license? "In a matter of fact, judging from the reports from the courts, most of those accused of making liquor are white and most of those charged with bootlegging are colored. Does this mean that the violators of the prohibition law have agreed upon a division of the field, introducing a color line in violations of the prohibition law the color line taking the management end and the Negroes the selling end, and seeing that there is some fair distribution of the illegal profits? "A color line in law-breaking, with "division and silence," would be a new racial line-up." Democratic Leader FERDINAND Q. MORTON MINISTER WOULD FURNISH BOOKS TO WALTER BLOW Rev. J. E.

Quite some time ago I made a similar donation. Making it possible for that little fellow to procure a pair of artificial limbs, so that he may go to school, is a praise-worthy deed. Jesus said, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me."

Morton's Power At Stake In Fight Among Race Democrats Jury Acquits Mrs. Rosetta O'Neal Of Killing Her Husband After Deliberating Less Than Ten Minutes. VICTIM'S FORMER WIFE BEST DEFENSE WITNESS Testifying in her own behalf before a jury in Corporation Court No. 2, Friday morning of last week while on trial for the murder of her husband, known hereabouts as George O'Neal, alleged murderer and fugitive from justice, Mrs. Rosetta O'Neal, a comely young woman of about 20 years, and said to be a bride of less than a year, told a harrowing story of cruelty and torture suffered during her brief married life. Ten minutes after the jury got the case a verdict of not guilty was returned. Self-defense was her plea. Killed Husband in January The young wife shot and killed her husband in their home, 812 Wide street, on Sunday afternoon, January 19, last. The killing was the climax to one of the periodical beatings he had been in the habit of administering to her, according to her testimony. Mrs. O'Neal declared that on the afternoon of the tragedy one of the usual quarrels between herself and husband ensued. He attempted to strike her, she said, when she fled from him, down the stairs and into the street. He pursued her and caught her just as she was clearing the front door for the stairs. She was seized the steps and dragged the steps by the irate husband she testified. Again in their apartment the scuffle between them continued during which time she frightfully realized that her husband was making desperate efforts to get to his pistol which was under the bed where he usually kept it. Summoning almost superhuman strength in what according to her belief was a struggle between life and death, she succeeded in freeing herself from her husband's grasp and in a single lunge threw herself upon the revolver he was endeavoring to tactically use the weapon once in hand, she turned it him and fired three times. The man fell across the bed and soon followed. Mrs. O'Neal then run down stairs screaming, making no attempt to escape. She gave herself up to the police. Witness Corroborated Eye-witnesses testified to seeing the man drag his wife up the stairs and of hearing her scream after she and her husband had reached their apartment. One scream was heard, they said, quickly followed by two or three reports from a reporter. A number of persons who lived in the vicinity of the O'Neal home substantiated the defendant's charges of continued cruelty at the hands of her husband. Some of them declared that the doors of their homes on several occasions had been opened to the young woman when she had been forced to fled and that she had been a "dog's life" during her brief marriage to George O'Neal. one woman was heard to say following the defendant's acquittal. Character Evidence Abundant The defense introduced an abundance of character evidence, coming from neighbors of the young woman and from white persons who claimed that they had known her for several years. Her Norfolk Steam Laundry where she had worked for a long time went on the witness stand and swore to her. good character, Neighbors declared that they had known her from an infant and that she had always lived an upright life and had worked industriously. Her marriage to O'Neal was directly contrary to her mother's wishes, they said. (Continued on Page Six) 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers ON PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR CITY; E RING Q. Morton's take In Fight e Democrats Leader Of United Colored Democracy of New York In vokes Wrath Of Prominent Negroes of the Organization EXECUTIVES SMOOTH OUT PARTY TANGLE New York Perhaps the most important fight in the history of New York's politics among Negroes has just ended in the unexpected displacement of Ferdinand Q. Morton as leader of the United Colored Democracy, as absolute spokesman for Negro Democratic voters. At a conference called at Tammany several days ago at which Edmund Holohan, leader of the Plat District, helped, leader of the Nineteenth, Andrew B. Keating, leader of the 13th, Judge George W. Olvany, leader of Tammany Hall, and Ferdinand Q. Morton, was definitely decided that in the future all of those appointments which were hitherto in the hands of Mr. Morton, are to be taken over by the leaders of the respective districts. This decision was not made until after Judge Olvany had listened to Mr. Morton and by it it was no doubt that the rank and file of Democratic voters in New York, many of whom instigated the fight will be grateful. The decision, however, does no affect the legal standing of the United Colored Democracy, an incorporated body, of which Morton is still leader. It simply clarifies a most disturbing situation in Tammany Hall by making it plain that only members of the Executive Committee, this committee consisting entirely of Tammany leaders, shall have the power to make or reject appointments of Colored men and women in the various administrative departments of New York that are largely in the hands of Tammany executives. (Continued on Page Three) STORY OF ATTACK BY COLORED MAN ON SCHOOL GIRL, FAKE Posse Searches Countryside For Culprit Existing On In The Imagination Of "Fib" Telling Child. The story of an attack by a colored man on a young white girl near Bristol, Va., as blazoned in display headlines in certain daily newspapers Tuesday afternoon of two weeks ago, has proved to be another scarecrow, the concoction of the imagination of an 11-year old girl who took a chance on provoking the burning at stake of another Negro in Virginia rather than an expose herself to a possible whipping for being late at school. According to a story found buried this week in an issue of a Washington daily, Chief of Police D. L. Haebelerin, of Bristol, declares that the child has admitted that her story of an attack by a colored man to school was fictitious and given as an excuse for being late at school. No report of the story having been found to be a fake has appeared in certain newspapers that displayed it in bold headlines. hook, line and sinker for the connection, centrally inflamed into committing a horrible lynching of a Negro for an alleged similar crime. Posse Searches for "Culprit". The girl's fake story of an attack on her aroused the countryside and it was reported in the daily papers that a posse numbering more than 200 white men and boys, aided by blood hounds' was scouring the woods for the culprit — that existed no where but in the brains of a "fib" telling 11-year old white girl. It is admitted that the fortunate child of the whole affair is that no Negro was arrested on suspicion and carried before the girl for identification. It is felt that she would have as readily and positively identified him as she as readily and as positively concocted the original fake. the original text PAGE TWO Man Confined In National Soldiers' Home And Blind Is Remembered By Comrades In Arms.

Mr. H. G. Stirley, chairman of State Highway Commission, according to a letter he has written J. H.

Smith to become a law is being hotly denounced by many citizens and many civic bodies as entirely detrimental to the best interests of Colored people everywhere. It is stated that the Republican Assembly and Senate rushed the bill through for the Governor's signature simply as a means of providing certain politicians with campaign timber for the coming campaign. A careful canvass by the New York representative of the Guide among all classes proves conclusively that the bill is not necessary and is not wanted. And much pressure is being brought to bear at Albany to prevent it being enacted. Its purpose is to designate a certain strip of Negro Harlem in which the majority of Colored people live, and in this way afford the certain election of a Negro Justice of the Municipal Court purely on the basis of color. In view of this it has been clearly pointed out to the Governor that the establishment of such a district which its very face represents statutory segregation is in distinct contradiction to the elective policies of New York. It has also been pointed out that the sponsor of the bill was elected to the Assembly from a predominantly white district, in view of which, it seems altogether possible to elect a Negro Judge within the existent Seventh District Municipal lines. To this view much emphasis is added by the fact that in Chicago in the last election a Negro Judge was elected without any redistricting along the lines of Race. In view of the matter that has been submitted to Governor Smith it is felt certain among the Colored people that Billups' Bill will be vetoed. Lamb, W. E.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF NORFOLK MISSION COLLEGE PRESEN THE ATHENIAN AND OLYMPIAN LITERARY SOCIETIES IN Wednesday Evening, April 29, Dunbar School Auditorium Program Begins 8:30 Sharp (Old Norfolk Mission College Chapel) Admission Youngsters Should Understand Art Of Self-Defense "Children should not fight for the sake of fighting and they should be taught never to be aggressors on their own account," writes Dr Clifford G. Grulee in the May Woman's Home Companion. "But the impulse that leads them to defend themselves is a fine one and the ability to stand up for their rights when necessary is valuable. "A girl of four who has never been particularly fond of fighting but who had been taught to respect her own rights moved with her family away from a neighborhood where she had been very popular to a new one where she was treated with indifference and a certain amount of hostility. One day a boy larger than herself hit her. Without hesitation she defended herself—successfully. The unpremeditated result was that she won a place for herself in the new neighborhood, and soon built up normal associations among the other children. The occasion for it being over, she displayed no further signs of fighting." LAMB'TS POINT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday school was well attended.

"The Vacuum Tube" of radio. He knew that too much current will shorten the life of the filament. That an even little current the effects will work and so on. But for the filament to be a real eminent he must aquaint himself with each instrument as it is. To know the way of each part of the apparatus, a fan a motor and become something more than an eminent because of the first of experimentation, not being just connected with tuning the next musical mode. Principles The vacuum tube is a peculiar instrument, when used as a detector to count the incoming waves from a frequency of millions of cycles down to about 40,000, so be detected by the auditory nerves. When used as an amplifier, it amplifies qualities required to a maximum. It works in a damping manner to say that, that which is known as a capacitor, in its metallic form, is a peculiar condition, that of metal-like conductors, which is the source of it. Do you realize that good capacitors are? They do, because when used to incandesce An however, has an an- nexion on the heated molten but when it is unmerged by it, it will be heated by heat not noticed. If then it is heated or be carried in a vacu- mation will it only be warmed until the heat is removed. Use de- composition of a conglomer of a carbon filament lamp, one will notice a thick coating inside the conglomer. You might have thought of the sphere. It was metallic con- glomer. To understand most chronologically, electrons must be decomposed. The electron, a negative electronic charge of which all matter is composed is a division of the atom. The particles that which are atoms. These particles that which are charges. The electron is always negatively charged, the positive charge being the proton, its other. The normal atom has no electronic charge, it being that it has acquired enough electrons to contain the positive charge. If then, an electron is added or taken away, the atom will be, positive or negative accordingly, to the gain or loss of an electron. Just What Happen It has been ill described that when a hot metal plate and a cold plate are placed near each other and the positive charge given the cold one, three electrons from the former tend to flow to the cold one and choose through the circuit back again as in diagram. Always in one direction. Though the effect is pain on account of oxidation which forms a coating on the metal. Finally the electric heated element was introduced, and sealed in a vacuum greatly increasing the effect. Edison found out that if the battery poles are charged in the opposite direction no current will flow, that it was unidirectional. The grid, the third element of the tube is responsible for amplification. A variation of one volt of the grid will produce one hundred times as much change in the plate current as would a change of the same value in the plate volt- age. The grid is kept at a negative potential at all times when used as an amplifier. Do not heat the tube filament to high temperature; you will damage the life of it. The duty of the thermometer is to regulate the temperature thereby safe guarding the tube.

Thrift Club Urges Citizens To Pay Their Poll Tax The Commercial Thrift Club on organization of progressive young men of the community, which is now in its fourth year of existence, has inaugurated a movement having for its object the increasing of the colored voting population of the city. In line with this movement the club is urging every colored man and woman of the community to pay the poll tax before nightfall May 1, the last day for payment of the tax as a prerequisite to voting. Offence of the club state that it is a civic duty of members of the force to qualify for voting and insist that no man should feel so indignant as not to make the sacrifice and pay his poll tax before holiday of next week.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MORTON'S POWER TAMMANNY Among the many complaints lodged against Morton by the several committees that visited Tammany Hall in the last two or three months, and to which its officers could not turn a deaf ear are the following: His appointments have not been political but purely personal, as is instudied by those of Horace Miller, Deputy Sheriff, Jas. C. McLendon, Assistant District Attorney of New York County, Cornelius McDougall. Deputy General of New York State, Harry Brugg, State Tax Department, Jas Garret, and Major William Jackson of the Fifteenth Regiment. It is claimed by the majority of Negro Democrats that not one of these appointments was made on the basis of service to the party, but that each one was made because Morton personally favored the respective appointees. It was further explained to Judge Olvany by David E. Tobias, Coenclaius H. Hughes and John R. McNeil, leaders of the opposition, that for any one person to wield as much power politically as Morton wielded over the heads of Colored men was not only inconsistent with the tenets of Tammany Hall, but a dangerous pullback to the making of Negro Democratic voters. The whole fight and its disastrous results to Ferdinand Morton might have been easily avoided, it is said, and Morton shown any inclination to meet in conference those who were opposed to him. As a matter of fact several attempts were made by the opposition to so adjust the affair before taking it to Judge Olvany. Morton Declines Conference Mr. Morton not only refused to consult with any of the members of the opposition, including such important factors as John R. McNeil, David F. Tobias, Oscar Waters and Cornelius H. Hughes, but in every manner endeavored to avoid contact with any of the people who had assisted in making his organization what it is. Edward E. Lee, the founder of the United Colored Democracy back in 1897 at the request of Mr. Richard Cooker, then the leader of Tammany Hall, and the politician who is greatly responsible for the prominence in politics of other young Negroes besides Morton will be one of the principal losers in the fight. It was he who gave the United Colored Democracy considerable standing in Tammany Hall in standing which remained intact and unthreatened until the advent of the Morton Machine consisting of Dr. Val Thomas, Dr. Griffin Everett P. Chappelle, Silas Brown Burgess Holland, James C. Garrett, William Banks, the late James D. Carr and Frank Wheaton. This group of politicians had so impressed upon the Executive Committee of Tammany Hall their importance as factors in the politics of New York Negroes that whatever representations they made at the Hall were accepted as final. With the passing of James D. Carr and Frank Wheaton who were to the United Colored Democracy in its later days what Charles Francis Murphy was to Tammany Hall the sudden decay of that organization set in. Hails From Mississippi Morton's tenure of power rather than his rise to it makes a study of his career interesting. He came to New York from a state that has not produced one notable figure in over half a century, Mississippi. After finishing a course in law at Harvard, he was admitted to practice at the New York bar. There is no record of him having tried or won any case of consequence in the courts of New York. When Robert H. Wood, then leader of the United Colored Democracy, died in 1915 Morton was elevated to his place. Judge Swan upon his election as District Attorney of New York County appointed Morton to his first really important political job, that of Assistant District Attorney. From there as a result of his hold on the confidence of those in high office he was made a year or so ago Civil Service Commissioner at a salary of $7,500 per year which position he still holds, his tenure of office exci In spite of the reports carried by several local newspapers to the effect that Mr. Morton's organization is to still retain autonomous jurisdiction in the various districts in which Colored voters reside, the truth of the matter is that Edmund P. Holohan, Andrew B. Keating and Martin Healy, duly elected leaders of the 21st, 12th, and 19th Districts respectively, and members of the Tammany Executive Committee are to have the final say in all future appointments of Colored men and women to exempt positions in the numerous city departments.

The easy and fast money completely blinds the "dope" vendor to the vast amount of human suffering and misery he is spreading thru his nefarious business, the agent said, and added "the 'done' evil is a terrible thing and public opinion of this country stands united in its demand that the illicit traffic in cocaine, heroin and morphine in the United States be stopped." Agent Clifford said his investigations in the drug traffic here had proved most alarming. He estimated that 5 per cent of the race people of Norfolk were addicted to drugs in one form or the other—an insidious evil, he said, that can causes old and young, male and female. Sidelina To Business The colored sleuth said that he had learned thru his secret investigations that there are some legitimate businesses here selling "dope" as a side line. The principal offenders in this respect, he said, are certain pool rooms and barber shops. Describing how big WILCOX'S TONIC TABLETS For the Blood and Nerves I was weak, nervous a nd run down.

JOHNSON Beautiful, gorgeous, scintillating and elaborate in every detail was the Musicale Revue staged at the Attucks Theatre Wednesday night under the auspices of the Swastika Club, one of Norfolk's popular women's organizations, in which some of the leading local talent played conspicuous parts. The cast was supported by a bevy of pretty girls in all the glow and glamour of their colorful costumes dancing and swaying gracefully to the strains of harmonious music, which was ably rendered by the orchestra. The opening scene featured Miss Helen Lawrence, as the Gypsy, Fortune Teller and the Pilgrim Chorus, whom were fortune hunters Bernard Smith and John Bush, as Steve and Sambo, furnished the mirth which was spontaneous and without restraint. One of the outstanding numbers on the program was a dramalette on which J. E. Watkins was featured as Dicky Trent, a flaming Romeo, "in love with love," and got himself in dutch by being too free with proposals. Gravatte Carr, also stood out in his numbers and displayed marked ability in performing before the footlights, especially in "Carissima," in Well, spring is here and that other outdoor sports.

Baseball and tennis will lead the fray with the latter vying with the national pastime for unbounded recognition. Most of the college and high school nines have begun their campaigns and the league clubs are making their bids for the season's honors. Speaking of baseball makes one picture a nice cool spot in the grandstand far from the glaring ray of "Old Sol" munching peanuts, drinking pink lemonade and eating hot doys, the latter an important factor where wild-eyed crowds congregate. Hot dogs, sometimes alluded to as weinies take their place among the leading American dishes. There is no line of demarcation ($5.00 word). The hot dog graces the pallet of all the classes under the Stars and Stripes, whether prince, palper or proletariat, especially if this species frequent the huge inclususse of swat the pill and run. The hot dog subject may be a little out of the line of this column, but he is such an important factor in our National athletic life that I don't see why the little brown fellows should not get a bit of the publicity and laurel wreaths that are showered upon the stellar athletes. To get something original and the hot dog's point of view on their popularity and the kick and thrill they get out of being a such-a-much, I interviewed a nice fat one, one that anybody would be delighted in sinking their molars into. I had thought it best to interview one that was the property of a vendor in a baseball park, thinking that he would or could tell me more about it than the rest of the countrymen, but since baseball here is as scarce as hen teeth, I had to bend my efforts to a grocery store. After all, a hot dog is a hot dog and all of them are acquainted with the doings of their brothers. Well, this hot dog in question seemed to be a brilliant chap, only he was not very much impressed with me and didn't want to talk, but I soon gained his confidence and he began to be as free with language as a U. S. Senator. There isn't any use going into full details of our conversation, or even giving you the preliminary remarks. The interview in brief and the most important is as follows: "If you've ever noticed," said the fat-hot dog, "a man is a funny looking creature when he gets ready to bite one of us. His elbow hends, his mouth flies open like a trap, his eyes get big and he looks like a chest cat, I bet if one of these fellows would bite a half of pie instead of biting one of us when he opens his mouth so wide, he'd make the pie look like a half moon," the fat hot dog continued. "I always have wondered why these fellows do that? We have to be rather brave to face such an ordeal. After lying in hot water a good part of the afternoon, kind of unnerves one for looking down folk's throat," the fat hot dog added looking somewhat grave. "But after all we fellows don't mind. It's just a dog's life. Sometimes when we go to serve our cause at the baseball parks, we're rather glad when our time comes," the fat hot dog said after a bit of rumination and a bright smile crossing his countenance. "Some of my brothers told one of your fellow seribes that they don't mind it so much after the first bite, because you don't feel anything anymore. And too, the mustard and onions serve as a 'local anesthetic.' I suppose you've heard of 'local anesthetic?' the fat hot dog asked, concluding his statement. I assured him that I did, because not so very long ago I experienced one. "Another thing that helps a whole lot," said the fat hot dog, "and that is the coffins, see what I mean?" I didn't have the slightest of slight ideas of what he meant by coffins and was about to interrogate, but the fat hot dog cut me short. "The coffin is the little bread turnovers they wrap around us, see what I mean? See, they fit rather ange like, and no foolin." "We have as much to do with drawing the crowds as the event and if you don't believe it try out the experiment. We add to the zest of the occasion. Of course, you must excuse my ego." And talking about ego, that fat hot dog had nothing else but. I was all comfortably settled for a nice long interview with the fat hot dog, but the groceryman got angry and chased me away, because I wouldn't buy anything. He said he didn't allow people to interfere with his dogs, because talking on their part hurts that skin you love to touch.

This is the season that the smaller colleges and schools come in the dimelight and compete on a level with the higher ups, especially those in North Carolina, this being a State of a great number of these schools. During the season of football and basketball the little fellows have to take a back seat, but now baseball is here and the little boys are knocking the big boys for a row of broken but handles. The small schools with a diminutive student body are unable to turn out football or basketball teams that will be winners among the higher lights, only on rare occasions, but when spring time rolls around they can turn out baseball teams to compete with the best. Shaw and Union have already fallen before Kittrell and Henderson respectively and it wasn't a case of green luck either: The small town boys played the collegians off of their feet. When it comes to football Shaw and Union can wallop either of the small schools by a score of five to ten touchdowns. 'S funny why this is so—then again it is not. Baseball is the national sport and it is only natural that nearly every youth can play the game with very little training. They are usually brought up in the back lots from early childhood playing the game and it does not take long for those who are observant to learn something of its fine points. I'll venture to say that (athletically speaking) baseball is second nature to the American youth and that is the why of it all.

FRANKLIN HIGH ROUTS SUFFOLK (Special to The Journal and Guide.) Franklin, Va., April 13—The mighty warriors of the Franklin High School defeated the strong aggregation of the Booker T. Washington school of Suffolk this afternoon in a scheduled game. Spurlock began the game for the locals with Catten behind the bat. Only two runs were made during his moundsmanship. Wood relieved him, and the teams were evenly matched until the seventh inning when Mason weakened. The outstanding feature of the visitors was Fortune, the lad that caught behind the bat. It was Captain Taylor who faced the Suffolk moundman and hit 4 times out of four attempts. The score was 12 to 7 in favor of Franklin.

Harrison Wins At Pool As Well As Law, Thinks Williams Interest was at fever heat at the Elk's Home, when Lawyer Harrison and Moody Williams engaged in pool combat for drinks and cigars and the latter was put down for the count of ten in the final stages of the melee. Harrison had his opponent groggy several times before he could be persuaded to submit to defeat. After the struggle was over, the pool shooting lawyer had to page a Black and White Cab to transfer his booty to his quarters of hibernation. Moodly said he would have beaten the lawyer, had it not been for his arm weariness. He said his arm s were sore from turning over and flattening on paneakes on one of the C. & O. boats pllying between Norfolk and Newport News, where he is hired to do his stuff in the galley. He also added that his sight is impaired from being frequently steamed by hot air or something of the kind, thus he was unable to find the pockets with the little varied colored pills. They played the game of 61 points some ball in any pocket. Mr. "Can" was self-elected arbiter. SPORTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT PUGUS RECEIVE HUGE SUM OF 50C EACH Portsmouth, Va., Not-Very-Long-Ago.—All sorts of princely sums paid members of the padded mitt art have been heard of, some of which have set records, but the following is a record which breaks all precedents and pasted records a stiff one in the slats. It seems that Kid Lasses, a rising young kid, who expects to accomplish something in the game of hit and avoid the result, was matched with another kid who struts the nomenclature of Kid Snowden. This baby Snowden is a habitue of the city that lies across the "lazy lizzie," meaning Portsmouth, of course. These fellows were matched to do their stuff for four rounds and they forgot the small detail of demanding what rake-off they would receive as a result of their endeavors. Well after the mulee in which Lasses was sent to the canvass for the second spasm of the go, the matchmaker, promoter or whoever takes care of that phase of the game crossed these lighters palms with a half of an honest-to-Job American dollar. At this rate the fighters will soon be sitting on top of the world and rolling in wealth. "Thais," drama depicting the story of an Alexandrian Courtean who finds life through the efforts of a Christian monk, and the great love of the monk turning to save Thais, was presented at the Attucks Theatre Monday night with admirable effort by the Players' Guild, a group of amateur dramatic actors, under the direction of Miss E. A. Lightner. The cast consisted mostly of teachers of Booker T. Washington school, a number of whose members were formerly members of the amateur dramatic department of Howard University. The acting Monday night was all the audience could have desired and certainly as much as was expected. Every member of the cast appeared to have been aptly chosen for the role in which he or she played. The lines were even and placed with a precision, self-assertiveness and confidence that would have been described as good acting on the part of professionals. Mr. P. McNeil Thompson, first as Damon, an Alexandrian priest and later as Nicias and the lover of Thais, performed excellently. He with Mr. Fulford as Damiel, a holy priest and Mrs. Louise Elliott, as Thais, beautiful Alexandrian, who had every wish satisfied by men who loved her, and that included all who met her, had the heaviest roles and proved to be the stars of the play. The huts of the Anchorites, the Marble Terrace before the Portico of Thais' house in Alexandria, the Temple of Love in Thais' Garden and the Courtyard of the retreat of the White Sisters, were the four scenes of the drama, and the costumes and scenery of each were very appropriate. Especially were the costumes effective and added so materially to the characterizations. The friends of Thais, beautiful maids of Alexandria, added a touch of modernity to the scene that was entrancing. The entire performance was thoroughly enjoyed by the large number of pa- NOREOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE TELEPHONE NO.: TRY AN' GET IT PUBLISHED WEAKLY The Razzberry NOT BIASED, BUT CROOKED NORFOLK, VA., SA TURDAY, APRIL 25 EDITORIAL COMMENT Our Platform 1.

MINSTRELS OF 1925 BIG HIT By A. WITT WILLEY A. JOHNSON. JB. KARA In all of its splendor as heretofore, the second annual Minstrel of 1925 presented by St. Joseph's Society was staged at the Attucks Theatre Tuesday morning and evening before an audience that taxed the capacity of the playhouse and was kept in a boisterous uprorair throughout the entire performance, in which the stars lived up to their former reputations as laugh producers. Dear Editor: How do folks put the cats out nights in Venice? And if the populace should want to start a street riot in Venice—what in H—do they do? The first part of the show was featured by an opening chorus, ensemble followed by the hilarious banter of the endmen and endwomen, Joseph Rowley and Robert Watts, Pauline Dennis and Frances Lacey, which never failed to produce healthy guffaws. The first part was also featured by vocal selections of popular songs and a plantation melody, in which Rosa M. Allen, Rosa Smallwood, Cornell Bullock. Frances Lacey, Lucille Harring, George Newby and Cornelius Washington were the performers. married woman who is keeping house is forever carrying something across to her mama's. It always is empty dishes she is taking back. A man left $100,000 to a girl who refused to marry him. Her kindness was never forgotten. Doctor: (after removing barber's appendex) "And now, my dear sir, how about a little liver or thyroid operation? And your tonsils need trimming terribly." The second part was slightly different from that of last year, in which justice was ludicrously dispersed in Juppe Whitewash's Court. The second part this year was a burlesque on present day radio and was a comedy riot. The jury, representing various nationalities was sworn in with much difficulty by the Judge in his dog catcher garb and his clerk. The proceeding of the courts was interrupted from time to time by a suffragette committee, the judge's mule. Aloysious and a krazy knott looking for a bootleger's still. In the midst of the court scene a radio was sore for and the fun began and court broke up. DARLING, I AIN'T NEAR SO BOLD Darling, I am growing old, Silver threads among the gold; All day I lounge upon the sofa Like a dirty, lazy lofa. I don't care no more for pettin' Than a frettin' hen a setin' Now, no more your hand I hold— Duh-har-ling-I-am-grow-ing-old. George Kemp says the woman who wears silk hose and short skirts knows the full value of ad- vertising. If it's something you don't really need, you generally buy it on the installment plan. The St. Joseph's Minstrel is gaining in popularity each year and this is evidenced by the large crowd that attended and the numbers turned away. Fully as many were turned away Tuesday night as gained admittance. Lots of birds think they are wise as owls because they are always hooting at something. Judge: "Are you sure he was inattentive?"

Among those who were invested with the power of saying, "Hello Bill," with a meaning were: Jack Dark, Leon Russell, Reno Williams and Savia Spencer. Clabur, who is a member of Elkdom, was the starter. On strolling down Brambleton avenue the morning after the night before, it could be plainly seen that something strange had happened, because the usual large number of taxis that are on the stands were no in evidence. This unusual occurrence, prompted the writer to inquire and he found out that these taxi driving fellows were all the worse off for their initiating experiences.

MANASAS BEATS ATHLETIC CLUB Manassas, Va., April 18—Fresh from their triumph over the County Training School of Warrenton, Va., of April 13th, to a score of 20 to 1, the unbeaten crack team this season of the Manassas Industrial School invaded the camp of the Thoroughfare Athletic Club in a hotly contested battle today. Those who take stock in such a thing as baseball, will do well to consider the team work and hard hitting of the Manassas boys and especially in the case of Gaskins, the ace pill twirler who officiated in the center of the diamond supported by a strong in and outfield.

Washington High School of Norfolk. The Norfolk boys took the lead in the first frame with three scores. The visitors outplayed their opponents. L. Williams, Tynes, Koss and Griffins did the best work for the winners. It is true that Franklin did not play the game of ball that it can play. Hamlin and Wood pitched masterful ball for the losers. Errors made by the locals proved to be the outstanding failure for them. Morris of Franklin played stellar ball. It was in the seventh inning when Franklin's bases were full and no outs. Williams walked two and brought two men in for Franklin. Pitchford as usual played a good game. Williams was the outstanding star for Franklin; playing excellent ball in right field. Franklin's scores came in the seventh. For the rest of the game neither team scored. The total result was 8-3 in favor of the Scraping Bookers.

Operators of the colored busses traversing the 18th street and Douglass Park routes are lined up with the white bussmen in the light opposing the proposed ordinance which would place all busses of the city under control of the Virginia Railway and Power Company, creating what has been described competing motor lines. At the public hearing in the City Council chamber Saturday afternoon various interests including the present jitney operators and others who are seeking a franchise for the establishment of bus service launched a formidable attack on the proposed ordinance. Attorney J. Eugene Diggs represented the colored operators. The 18th street and Douglass Park bussmen have taken a stand to that held by bussmen operating in other sections of the city, with the exception of the contention that the colored men are charging a five cent fare, the lowest street transportation fare in the city; are caring for their patrons in a satisfactorily manner; have complied with every city regulation covering jitney operation and are prepared and willing to expand their service, or to comply with any additional regulations the city might exact. They laid considerable emphasis upon the fact that there is not and has not been any complaint whatsoever lodged against them by the public they serve, but on the contrary the colored citizens who depend largely upon this service are almost unanimous in their desire to have the buss service remain status quo. Non-Competing Service the colored busses came on the field during the hectic days of the World War, the same as did the white. They not only served, however, to take off the peak load from the trolley cars at a time when the city was overcrowded with war workers, but on account of the fact that there were no trolley rails entering into the heart of Huntersville, Lindenwood, Doughlass nor Bruce Parks, these jitneys followed a route thrue these neighborhoods thus making their service largely non-competitive with the Virginia Railway and Power Company. This fact, they believe, should be considered in their favor. Even now there is no trolley car service in the above named sections, ever though the bulk of the colored population lives and is moving into those directions. Should the Railway and Power Company operate busses there now, the jitneymen point out, it would be the first attempt that it has ever made to serve the colored people. FREE MATINEES FOR COLORED BOYS ARE SET FOR NEXT WEEK Sons of Norfolk Ask Theatres To Set Aside One Afternoon For Entertainment of Norfolk's Future Citizens. Mr. James E.

The principals of the colored schools have formed themselves into a committee for the formulating of plans for the participation of colored boys in the National Boys' Week observance April 20 to May 2. Prof. C. W. Reynolds is chairman of the committee. The plans so far arranged call for participation of the colored boys in the mammoth boys parade Friday. The Sunday the first day of the observances is designated as go to church day and ministers of the city are asked to preach special sermons dealing with boys on topics in which boys can manifest unusual interest. Parents are expected to make special efforts to place every boy in the community in some church Sunday morning. Tuesday will be his citizenship day for the colored boys. School heads are making efforts to obtain prominent citizens to visit the school and address the boys on citizenship on this day. Wednesday will be an off day. On Thursday boys may visit the business and commercial houses of their race where every facility will be provided for their inspection on the business visited. Friday is the day for the great parade and the representation of colored boys is expected to be as large as it was last year. The parade will move off at 2:30 o'clock Friday. All boys are eligible to participate. School will dismiss in time for pupils to go to their respective places in the line of formation. Individuals clubs and societies are asked to provide floats exemplifying activities or interests pertaining to the boy. The committee in charge of the plans expressed themselves as feeling that provisions for colored boys' participation in Boys' Week should not be left entirely to the schools. They said, inasmuch as the boys are the community's (Continued on Page Nine) HALE'S available at Wholesale Rai where.. Connections in a available at Wholesale Rates to Undertakers everywhere.

The meeting of the coed teachers of the Second Virginia District at the Booker T.

Between 500 and 600 teachers were present and a number of visitors attended the meeting. The Second District comprises the schools of Tidewater. Prof. L, G.

Jacox, principal of John T. West School, who has twice served as school census enumerator for the city, at the parent-teacher mass meeting held in St. John's A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon told, of experiences gained during his visits to homes of several colored families, and related thoughts gathered from parents and guardians with whom he came in contact while taking the census. He stressed ten specific points dealing with the relation of parent, child and teacher, and classified parents under one of ten heads as follows: Grumblers 1. Grumblers was the designation given those parents who expect the schools to do more for their children than what the ability of the children will permit. Prof. Jacox explained that this sort of parent grumbles about the neighbor's child being better than his own, and says if "little Flossie Jones" is in a certain class why my own "Daisy Tee" ought to be in that same class—why isn't she just as old as Flossie? This parent fails to regard latent ability in children, a thing which science has learned to guage quite accurately through the I. Q. and A. Q. methods. "My child is not backward, it is just not of the right complexion to suit the teacher," is another expression heard coming from the grumbling parent, Prof. Jacox said. He confessed that he did not believe there was a teacher in the Norfolk school system who gave a "snap" about the complexion of a single pupil in the school. No Discipline Parents 2. Parents who enforce no discipline at home and object to the school having any. These parents, Prof. Jacox, said permit their children to leave home for school at any hour in the morning, not concerning themselves whether or not the student arrives at the school late. Any corrective measures applied to a child of these parents at school brings, a huff from their elders, he said, who often go to the school prepared to vent their grievances on the teacher. 3. Parents who regard the teacher as a servant and claim special rights as taxpayers. This sort of parent boasts of the fact his taxes help provide the schools and seeks to make the teacher feel (Continued on page 11.)

To delay longer. a union of our talents and energies for the common good is: dangerous because inertia works against progress; strength comes thru unity, Phose who have education- al oF economic advantages owe it to the race to aid the less fortunate to rise, Together we ean be mas- ters of the race's destiny, thrue en- couragement of each other's ef- forts; grasping our present oppor- tunities in school and industry. ‘The danger in delay is where we fail to take hold of the present and in our lassitude lose the advan- tages of past achievements; our mothers’ prayers and our fathers’ deeds have given us the start to make good as a race. Urging his hearers nol to. he content with criticizing our racial defects, Prof, Seott made the plea that his hear- ers “start now in constructive ac~ Livity; with sympathetic eoopera- tion to move forward to the redli- zation of a truly democratic and Christian Republie, here in Ameri- ea. ‘At the six p. m. service Mr. W.

We appreciate the fact that we have gradually developed an organized baseball service of our own and that it is growing in strength and favor every year. In the Northern and Western states our teams often measure prowess and skill with white clubs in the same class, and the time will come when our exceptional men will break into major baseball. "Play ball!" has rung through the land and there is play. There was never more interest in the game than at this time. We appreciate the fact that we have gradually developed an organized baseball service of The American Negro Labor Congress is booked to meet in June and it should be a success. There is no phase of our life that needs closer study and wiser treatment than the labor phase. The release we have from the promoters outlines a very ambitious program, but the creation of the organization and the selection of the proper persons to direct its policy is the primary thing. We do not get a square deal from the white labor unions, even when we are members, and it is, therefore, our business to create an organization of our own, independent of but affiliated in sympathy and purpose with the white organizations. We All Have to Struggle to Win Roland Hayes has just received the Spingarn Medal on his latest departure for Europe, where in other tours he has conquered all opposition to his color by his mastery of the technique and expression of the lyric art. He strugled up from the very bottom, as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and other successful men of our group have done and as most who conquer the heights must do. It was a distinguished gathering on the Steamship Aquitania which witnessed the presentation of the medal to Mr. Hayes. Walter Damrosh, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra and one of the outstanding musicians of the day, made the presentation. That in itself was a great distinction and honor. Among other things Mr. Damrosh said: "Roland Hayes is to me a striking proof of the fact that whether white or black we are all God's children, and I herewith take pleasure in handing him the famous Spingarn Medal, which is only donated to those members of the colored race who have achieved real distinction." When we stop to consider the number of men and women of our group who before and since the Civil War have conquered success, there is no reason why the poorest boy or girl in our schools should not aspire to the highest and best things in life. Don't figure to start in a big way; master the little way first. Most of our failures in buying and selling are due to the fact that we have had no experience and have to get this by failures, which often dishearten the ambitious. But discouragement will get us nowhere. Keep on a-coming and success will come with persistence.

Disabled Veterans Take High Ground The innate good that there is in human nature has a habit of periodically asserting itself to upset the conviction that we sometimes have that the world has just about "gone to the dogs." During the turmoil and hustle for selfish gain, and the after reflection of man's seemingly inhumanity to man, despair often comes and whispers that the world is out of sorts and evil has overridden all good, that there ever was in it. And then, a shining example of man's thoughtfulness of his fellow man comes to the front and dispels our pessimism. If this were not so, our own psychology of a predominating suggestion of evil would make the world a dismal place to live in. A lustrous example of the assertion that "God is not dead," came out of the recent meeting of the local chapter of Disabled American Veterans of the World War, an organization of white men, who in passing a resolution pledging aid to an ex-colored soldier, said the man was good enough for a soldier to help fight during the World War, and is, therefore, entitled to consideration by the organization. That was taking high ground. Though totally blind, John Porter will radiate with the light of joy, when he hears what his white companions in arms think of him, and have pledged to do for him.

Citizens and Bona-fide Citizens Recently in a councilmanic discussion relative to the feasibility of holding a night day public hearing on the much discussed city transportation question, a member Council was reported as asking, who know whether or not that those who speak public hearings are voters? The implication here seems to have been that members Council would better understand how to treat views expressed at public hearings so they were in possession of definite knowledge as to whether those doing the talking also do the voting, or do not. A few days ago persons in charge of the fight bussmen are making against the Virginia Railway and Power Company's proposal in the matter of the transportation question announced that they had secure 6,000 names to a petition opposing an ordinance making concessions to the power company, and added that a careful check of the names of the petitioners had established the fact that all of them were bona-fide citizens. It is to be presumed that bona-fide citizens here implies voting citizens. Here again, the implication is that the sponsor for the petition felt that it made a significant difference whether or not their signer were voters. Very probably, most people reading both of those statements appearing in the daily press gave them no more than passive notice, failing to sense their deep significance. They were significant, however, and fundamentally so. The deduction is plain that it is the voice of the people that get an official hearing, and the voice of the voters that gets official consideration. Moreover, it is further deduced from the statement of the representatives of the bussmen that there is a distinction between citizen and bona-fide citizens, and it is the voice of the latter that influences official action. Colored citizens would do well to catch the point in the two statements set out above and be governed accordingly. Recently in a councilmanic discussion relative to the feasibility of holding a night or day public hearing on the much discussed city transportation question, a member of Council was reported as asking, who knows whether or not that those who speak at public hearings are voters? The implication here seems to have been that members of Council would better understand how to treat views expressed at public hearings if they were in possession of definite knowledge as to whether those doing the talking, also do the voting, or do not. A few days ago persons in charge of the fight bussmen are making against the Virginia Railway and Power Company's proposal in the matter of the transportation question announced that they had secured 6,000 names to a petition opposing an ordinance making concessions to the power company, and added that a careful check of the names of the petitioners had established the fact that all of them were bona-fide citizens. It is to be presumed that bona-fide citizens here implies voting citizens. Here again, the implication is that the sponsors for the petition felt that it made a significant difference whether or not their signers were voters. Very probably, most people reading both of those statements appearing in the daily press gave them no more than passing notice, failing to sense their deep significance. They were significant, however, and fundamentally so. The deduction is plain that it is the voice of the people that gets an official hearing, and the voice of the voters that gets official consideration. Moreover, it is further deduced from the statement of the representatives of the bussmen that there is a distinction between citizens and bona-fide citizens, and it is the voice of the latter that influences official action. Colored citizens would do well to catch the point in the two statements set out above and be governed accordingly. A Good and Faithful Friend Was Albert Howe A very great and useful man was lost to the Hampton Institute work and the work of Southern education among our group when Mr. Albert Howe died in the harness. He began work at Hampton with Genera Armstrong and was the right hand of the great educator, as he has been helpful in all ways to his successors. He took an unusual interest in the work and initiated and developed some of the most useful and helpful branches of the Hampton work. He was universally beloved. A Hampton released very truthfully says: "Albert Howe possessed the gladness of soul which expresses A very great and useful man was lost to the Hampton Institute work and the work of Southern education among our group when Mr. Albert Howe died in the harness. He began work at Hampton with General Armstrong and was the right hand of that great educator, as he has been helpful in all ways to his successors. He took an unusual interest in the work and initiated and developed some of the most useful and helpful branches of the Hampton work. He was universally beloved. A Hampton release very truthfully says: "Albert Howe possessed the gladness of soul which expressed itself in good deeds. He built his life into the physical and educational life at Hampton." Albert Howe was a great and useful man in the place where he was called to do a great and necessary service. How pleasant and inspiring it is to look back upon the life and service of such a man, who went about doing good. To do so is an inspiration and a hope. The thousands of Hampton students who came under his influence will all feel that way. Our group in the South since the Reconstruction Days has been greatly favored by the service of white men and women who dedicated themselves to our educational uplift. Only a few of the pioneers remain. They have educated a generation of Afro-American teachers and preachers and workers generally who would have been poor indeed without such service. It is just to keep their memory alive so that our children shall not forget to render unto them the measure of praise and gratitude which rightfully belongs to them.

April 14, 1925. In Race Crossings, Nature Will Have Its Way A new book on eugenics by A. E. Wiggam has revived interest in that much talked of science. Eugenics may be defined as the art or science of getting well-born. It aims at the development of a higher type of man by the mating of the highest types of men and women. It is a beautiful theory; the only trouble is that it won't work. It is a case of a science trying to govern an instinct. Science has shown that tendency more than once. As long as science confines itself to the purely physical world it is all right, but when it tries to tinker with human passions it is all wrong. Science can only measure an earthquake; it cannot control it. The mating passion of human beings is even less amenable than an earthquake; it can be neither controlled nor measured. Nature has her own eugenics—people instinctively refuse to marry diseased or insane people; but Nature stops there. She does not say, like the eugenists, that the wife must have exactly three-fourths as many pounds as the husband or that their heights and ages must have certain proportions. Even if eugenics were consistently practiced we do not believe the human race would be much changed. Several weeks ago the world was hauling the wonderful super-dogs who carried the diptheria serum thru hundreds of miles of blizzards to Nome, Alaska. People wondered what superior breed of dogs they were. Inquiry brought out the startling fact that these great dogs were mongrels. It is probably the same with the human race. Mr. Wiggam truly says that it is ten times as important to have sound parents as to have sound doctors. But who shall be the sound parents? The eugenists think that Nordic should mate with Nordic and Latin with Latin, but for all we know the superior race of the future may be a mixture of the two, or perhaps a mixture of black and white. For that matter, it may be all black. As we look back over the long years it hardly seems possible that we have been laboring twelve of the twenty-four years of its existence to make the JOURNAL AND GUIDE the newspaper that it is, recognized as among the foremost the race has in this country. It has been a long and tiresome journey but we feel that it is only as the beginning with the long years stretching out for work and service for the newspaper and those who shall control its destinies. Spirit of the Press Spirit of the Press A Department of Labor Jackass From the Baltimore Herald-Commonwealth. One Dr. Plecker, of Richmond, Va., an employee of the U. S. Department of Labor in Washington, is writing himself down an unmitigated and pitiless jackass. It seems also that in his position as a government employee he is violating the law in using the government franking privilege to purvey his own private views upon a matter that we are sure is not a subject of government investigation, and conclusions upon which he was not authorized to disseminate as official information through the mails. If the federal government is prosecuting any search whereby to discover whether the "mental and moral characteristics" of Negroes can become the same as white men, whether Christian brotherhood means racial equality, whether Negroes of mixed blood or "mongrels" are superior in intellect to pure blood Negroes but inferior to whites, whether "the absolute solution" of the race question is the "repatriation of the colored races," such investigation is being secretly conducted and its first announcement is through the asinine pen of Dr. Plecker. Such inane drivel is found in a pamphlet written by this intellectual Cyclops and it is said was sent through the mails as official matter. Aside from its idiocy it is an insult to the whole Negro group, constituting a substantial element of law abiding, tax paying American citizens. We do not believe that such vicious matter if expressed concerning any other racial group and sent out under government frank would be tolerated by this Doctor's superiors in office and that such use of his official position if called to their attention would result in his speedy dismissal. It is expected that this prejudice engendering and race hating pamphlet will be carefully looked into, and if government laws have been violated in its publication or distribution through the mails its author will be held to strict accountability and awarded such punishment as would be accorded if his base attack was on some group of the white race.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. Who was the first white millionaire in the slave states and the first Negro millionaire after 1865? L. W. B., Edwardsville, Ill. A. I have no data upon this matter. Q. Was Herod, proconsul of Judea, a Roman or an Asiatic? K. L. N., Mason City, Iowa. A. Herod was a Roman citizen, otherwise he could not have been proconsul. However, the House of Herod was lineally descended from Theseus and Cecrops, both of African descent, the latter having founded Athens in Greece; the other was one of the most celebrated kings of Athens and a famous hero. Q. Who was King Thair? H. H. G., Pittsburgh, Pa. A. Thair was a famous and powerful king of Vemen, Ethiopian by blood, who conquered and plundered the ancient Persian capital. Q. Will you kindly give me some information about Edmund THE HOUSE WE LIVE IN THE HOUSE WE LIVE IN The Value of Exercise and Air BY JOHN L. MATTHEWS The lungs might be aptly termed the bath room of the blood. Many times a day each drop of blood repairs to the lungs for a bath of nice pure air. It follows that if the air is not pure the blood cannot get a good bath. Thus the poisons that should have been left in the bathroom to be thrown out in exhalation, are retained in the blood and carried back into the house. This increases the waste in the system as well as puts an additional burden on the other organs of elimination. Each succeeding time the blood takes a bath in the same atmosphere the danger is increased manifold. One would not think of bathing in the same water two or more times, to say nothing of taking a bath after several persons have used the water, yet many do worse when they fail to allow plenty of fresh air to enter their sleeping rooms and offices. Especially is this true when one visits dance halls, pool rooms, play houses (moving pictures, shows, etc.) and, unfortunately, some churches. The danger to one's health is so great that he might well forego the pleasures derived from some of these places for this reason alone, not to bring in moral consideration. But few seem to realize that pure air is a very necessary adjunct to pure blood. Let us remember that while fresh air can and does come indoors, is is much purer out-of-doors, and is much more beneficial if we exercise in it as often as possible. Some are so afraid of the outside air until they remain in the house from day to day, more like a bundle of dry goods than an active human being. The chief, if not, the only reason why many become invalids is that the blood does not Dear Sirs: Subscription for what I think is hers gotten out by our race in race, it is a high toned, clean, timely and ably written and as to bring about a better year, yet always being governed business.

He was born of slave parents in 1829 in New Orleans. He took up the violin and was regarded as a virtuoso at twenty-one. He was of pure African blood and spoke the French language. He established himself in Paris and became a teacher of the violin and a composer of note. He was a close friends of Dumas. Q. When was the first colored school started for Negroes in the South? J. P., Buxton, Iowa. A. The first colored school south of Ohio was formed May 20, 1865, in Lexington, Kentucky. Q. Was Scipio Africanus an African? F. J. D., Chicago, Illinois. No. Scipio was of Roman birth. The probabilities are that he was a mulatto the same as all the Romans of his day. The ancient Romans were not of white race, but a mixture of African and other bloods. circulate freely, and the changes in the vital fluid, which are so necessary to life and health, do not take place. They have not given their bodies exercise—nor their blood good clean baths with pure, fresh air; therefore it is impossible for the blood to be vitalized, and it pursues its course sluggishly through the system. Thus, the more we exercise the better the circulation will be. In short, pure air plus exercise equals good blood, plus perfect circulation equals good health.

Using army figures as a basis, it has been estimated that the 10,000,000 men employed in the manufacturing industry in the United States lose 6,893,000 working days because of venereal disease. In like proportion, the same is true of any other class of men. In the cases of 1,750 employees with a syphilitic history, treated by a certain company physician for injuries, syphilis caused delayed wound repair in 575 cases and delayed union of fracture in 572. There is another report of 35 syphilitic employees who lost 13,946 working days. To these men: $25,415 were paid in compensation, while $25,926 were spent in medical relief. Although syphilis was not the original cause of the injuries, by prolonging the healing in time it was responsible for a large part of the economic waste represented by the total sum of $50,711. Resultant Mental Disorders Resultant Mental Disorders It has been established that paresis and other forms of mental disorders brought on by syphilis have been responsible for many accidents in the commercial and industrial world. The case is told of a taxi-cab driver who had figured in many collisions, sometimes injuring his April 14, 1925. --- victims very severely. On examination the man was found to have a syphilitic history and to be suffering from general paralysis of the insane. In one group of commercial enterprises, the physicians' committee on prevention and control of occupational diseases and hazards reported that "sufficient data has been secured to show that it (syphilis) is present and that in many instances it has appeared as a direct or contributing cause in derelictions of duty with results that have been disastrous to life and property." In Illinois last year the number of industrial accidents was 61,810, the worst record in the history of the state. Eleven million dollars were paid out in compensation awards, and $350,000,000 were lost in wages. In that one state there was a charge of $61,000,000, part of which may have been occasioned by venereal diseases. Educational Campaign Educational Campaign Partly because of this drain upon the resources of the country—a burden that falls upon the shoulders of all alike—the United States Public Health Service is conducting a campaign of education against venereal diseases. Through the Division of Venereal Diseases the Public Health Service is striving to spread the truths that syphilis and gonorrhea are unnecessary afflictions which may be both prevented and cured. Already employers and employees are realizing the loss caused by venereal diseases in all walks of life, and are evidencing a desire to join forces against the common enemy. As a prominent, railroad physician has said, the remedy lies in the proper kind of sex education "and the best channel of this personal uplift is thru industry. By cooperation, 90 per cent of the battle to wipe out one of the greatest curses in the world today—social diseases—will be won." The money cost of venereal diseases is staggering, but it is not the only cost. Every year syphilis and gonorrhea waste the nation's and the individual's health, often taking life itself. In a following article of this series, a glimpse will be given of the physical effects of venereal disease. Free pamphlets explaining the campaign against venereal diseases and presenting the true facts of sex in a wholesome manner will be sent to any address on request.

Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:—Will some of the jitneurs who have a sense of their responsibilities to themselves and the public answer the following questions? 1. Why is it that in the busses signs are posted reading "No Smoking," while two-thirds of the drivers persist in smoking while operating their busses? 2. Why is it that two-thirds of the operators are the most boisterous persons on the busses? 3. Why is it that most of the drivers look dirty most of the time? 4. Why is it that so many buss drivers are unnecessarily familiar with women patrons with whom they are not acquainted? 5. Have the operators any right to purposely ignore the Dodson boy and an aged lady living on Washington avenue, just because they happen to be physically unable to move about with agility? 6. What right has an operator to ride a woman free of charges who merely rides to see and be seen and then permit such women to occupy seats while passengers who have paid their fares are forced to stand? I am open to be informed on these matters. JAMES V. MOORMAN Norfolk, Va. The Great Pyramids of Egypt were erected more than 5,000 years ago, and nothing more mechanically perfect has ever been built.
