ACK BILLY SUNDAY RACIAL INTEGRITY special to the Journal and Guide) Newport News, Va.—No race rise higher than the morale guard of its people." Rev. C. M. (Black Billy Sunday) to a large audience of white and colleagues yesterday afternoon at the abacurea on Twenty- fifth at, in repeating by special rea- tion a lecture he had delivered on previous Sunday afternoon on subject of conditions in the wicked avenue section. The Newport News "Times said" revs Rev. M. Dixon as singing that "while certainly large sizes of white men come frank- into the section for the purpose patronizing the colored estab- sures there, the Negro people not try to shift the blame, for bargains involve the consent more than one person." He is quoted by the "Times-Herald" having said he was "not sur- at at the slow progress of his when he saw how completely in the people of that section are practices of ill fame." Another statement imputed to Dixon by the Newport News is that "men are not born in any sense." He called the white people of Newport to assist his people in bet- tle their standards of living homes and amusements, in that there might be improved in the spiritual and phis- welfare of the race. 2. MCKENZIE, OF FISK UNIVERSITYRESIGNS UNDER CRITICISMS Stormy Events Culminate In Withdrawal Of Head Of Institution; Branded As. Reactionary And Repressive. NAME OF SUCCESSOR IS SURROUNDED IN DOUBT (By Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y., April 30—Fayette Avery McKenzie, for the last ten years president of Fish University, tendered his resignation to the board of trustees at its meeting in this city this week. It was accepted. Mr. McKenzie was given a year's leave of a b s c o n c with pay. The resignation is to take effect July 1, after the present scholastic year. For a period the institution will be governed by a board of management. His successor is still a matter of speculation, but there is a pronounced attitude in favor of William H. Baldwin, white, one of the most active and valuable of the trustees. Stormy Regime The McKenzie regime at Fisk was filled with lights and shadows. It was while he was in office that the school was able to complete its one-million dollar endowment fund and to assume its place as one of the standard colleges of the country. For this work McKenzie is given much of the credit. On the other hand, there has been a growing misunderstanding between him on the one hand, and the alumni, students and many friends on the other. This culminated in a riot last February. Police were called, students arrested, and a strike later ordered by the leaders of the students. Most of the students left, some returning later under the compulsion of parents or guardians. The student charges against McKenzie have centered themselves in his denial of initiative to student bodies, repressive regulatory measures, and a certain catering to Southern white influence, some having even gone so far as to connect him with the Ku Klux Klan. Was Upheld By Trustees The retiring president made no reference to the big disturbance in his letter of resignation. It is reported that he attempted to resign there times in the last few months. At an investigation of the riot, the position of Mr. McKenzie was upheld. The board, in its letter accepting McKenzie's resignation, credited him with having been of much service to the institution. It is planned that for sometime it shall be run by a committee of management. There is little certainty as to who the new president shall be. The name of William H. Baldwin has been suggested by various members of the alumni and by many colored leaders. Mr. Baldwin has an intimate knowledge of the work, his father having been a trustee of Tuskegee, and he being mainly responsible for the raising of the Fisk endowment fund. He is a man of many contacts and much influence. The friends of the institution seem to believe he would be more able to cope with problems confronting the school with the resignation of McKenzie than any one of others that have been mentioned would. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who started the fight on McKenzie, has said he would not accent the position. McKenzie announced in Nashville that he would get a job teaching somewhere so that he might support his family. VISIT IN THE CITY Boy, and Clinton L. Griffin and Mrs. Briscoe, of Suffolk, were in the city Thursday. Mrs. Griffin is the Journal and Guide agent in Suffolk.

GETS CHECK FOR HIS BURNT MONEY Sends Ashes Of Currency Destroyed In Fire To Washington And Is Partially Reimbursed: (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Dunn, N. C.,—April 30—Joe Monk, the aged colored man, who lost his life in the big fire here on the night of April 13, was known to have had some money in his room. After the fire a son-in-law of the unfortunate man found a small tin box in which he kept his money. The box was filled with the ashes of burned currency. A part of the ashes was destroyed. Then somebody suggested that the box and the remaining ashes be sent to the redemption department of the United States treasury. It was sent, and a few days later the sender received a government treasury check for $20. It is supposed that the old man had between $75 and $100 in currency in the box. Had all the ashes been saved it is likely that Uncle Sam would have refunded the entire loss. ASKS FOR BETTER JOBS FOR RACE POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES President of National Alliance Explains Grievances Of Race Carriers And Clerks To Postmaster General New Washington, D. C., April 30—The request that qualified Colored employees in the postoffice service be promoted to supervisory positions in local offices and that two additional men be given positions similar to that occupied by Asst. Chief Clerk John Gainey were the chief points stressed in a conference which Alonzo L. Glenn, president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees had with Postmaster General New, last week. Mr. Glenn suggested that such recognition should be granted particularly in the larger offices such as Chicago, Louisville, Kansas City, St. Louis, Richmond, Norfolk, New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis and Cincinnati where large numbers of clerks and carriers are now employed. He pointed out that "a great number of young colored men entered the government civil service years age in preference to choosing professions or business careers and that the more efficient ones in this group aspire to higher places in the classified service. They are anxious to get out of the rut, and their promotion will be an inspiration to other employees as well as the entire race because it will show it is possible to ascend from the ranks and that the present barriers are not immovable," he said. --- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 RACE PLEDGES FIVE PER CENT OF FUND RAISED IN DRIVE Dr. J. E. Gregg Announces That $4,000,000 Has Been Assured; Colored People Rally In Campaign. ENCOURAGING MESSAGE READ AT ANNIVERSARY Hampton, Va., April 30—According to an announcement made here by Dr. James E. Gregg, president of Hampton Institute, at the closing of the fifty-seventh anniversary program last Friday, the Hampton-Tuskegee Institute Endowment Fund had reached $4,100,000 up to April 25. Of this amount $150,000 has been subscribed by the colored people of the United States, who, though they constitute only 10 percent of the population and one percent of the wealth of the nation have given five per cent of this campaign fund. Dr. Gregg read this message which had been given to him by Mr. George Foster Peabody, of New York, a trustee of the Institute. CRITICS ATTACK'SUN DO MOVE' PREACHER (Ry Associated Negro Press.) Richmond, Va., April 30—Because of the wide publicity given his very recent sermon on "The Sun Do Move," Dr. James S. Hatcher, B. A., pastor of Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church has been attacked by newspapers and college professors all over the country. The latest to issue a scathing attack upon the learned minister, for what is termed by many as his foolish stand and hold proclamation that the "Sun Do Move" is Professor Gordon B. Hancock, of Virginia Union University of this city. Dr. Hatcher, who is a graduate of Wilberforce University is a very able divine and is quite capable of taking care of himself in almost any event, but just how he will emerge from the controversy that is now going on between himself and other learned men remains to be seen. Dr. Hatcher, however has issued a defy to all his would-be critics. CHICAGO DEFENDER ANNOUNCES A BIG SHAKE-UP IN STAFF Phil A. Jones, Former General Manager, Alfred Anderson, Roscoe Simmons Involved In Change. (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., April 30—The Chicago Defender announced last Thursday, that Phil A. Jones former general manager, Alfred Anderson former editorial writer Roscoe Conklin Simmons, former Columnist and J. Delos Bell former auditor are no longer connected with the publication. This information was released after a week of uncertain rumors had swept the city causing considerable speculation as to the cause of radical an action on the part of the publisher of "The World's Greatest Weekly." No definitive statement has been given to the public but pussy about the streets indicates that Robert S. Abbott found a considerable discrepancy in the paper's accounts. It is rumored that the attempt to launch the Reflexus Magazine, the pretentious magazine which had its "premiere" last month was primarily responsible for the investigation which disclosed other defalcations. Several of the principals were interested in the magazine. Those who claim to be in position to know say that $100,000 will be the amount involved. Others who likewise claim to share the publisher's confidence state that the amount is greatly exaggerated and that they will be unable to give any accurate figure of the sum involved. --- Poro College Ladies' Orchestra Rio Poco, L.E.C.

(By Association Negro Press.) St. Louis, Mo., April 30—Many of America's largest business institutions have learned that it pays in dollars and cents, in increased efficiency and employee turnover to take more than a casual interest in their workers' leisure time and personal welfare. Poro College has always maintained such a policy. Its welfare program has been extensive including a sick benefit association, rewards for special effort and progress and even a chapel service during the morning, to give a spiritual tone to the efforts during the day. So that the establishment of the Poro Girls' Orchestra was but another step to aid in the culture of the Dope Invest Drug Evil Youth Off Wary Peddlers Suspec dom Take Chances O —"Parlor Socials Br Evil, Declares Import From an interview with Federal Narcotics Agent J. Williams Clifford, who recen- tely conducted a two months' probe into the drug traffic in this city A barren table around which are grouped two or three dilapidated chairs, a barren floor, and a smelly dingy room on the second floor of an unpretentious tenement, one or two doors improvised on the stain case leading to this sordid scene, and the door next to the outer equipped with a "peep" hole, and there you have a description of one of Norfolk's typical "dope dens," "sniff houses," or "coke joints." The above description aptly fits the typical drug joint, but it does not include all of these dens of vice. Some of them are more generously, and a number of them even luxuriously furnished. These latter are the rendezvous for the underworld "celat," those addicts whose physical powers and appearances still permit them to pick up a good livelihood out of the city's night life. Others, who, except being "dope" addicts are fairly respectable people, also frequent this better class of "dens." The word "underworld" used in connection with the illicit drug traffic is a misnomer. By no means is the use of cocaine, heroin, morphine and other habit for miring drugs restricted to those who are genetically regarded as figures of the seedy life. There are hundreds of people who are confirmed drug users that have only a faint idea of what is meant by "underworld" life, just as there are thousands of confirmed bootleg drinkers who live and move in respectable society. Conditions In Norfolk The illicit traffic in drugs is no more widespread in Norfolk than in any other seaport city, nor even some inlands towns, thinks Narcotics Agent Clifford, but at that it is here to an extent that is alarming. And it is on the increase. New drug addicts are being made over night, and prohibition has indirectly had its share in swelling the list of drug victims. It is at the "parlor socials," where bootleg is freely dispensed that the unwary "dope" victim usually gets his first thrill out of a "sniff." Not that there were no parlor socials where (Continued on Page Three) Poro family, and the promotion of the harmony in which they work together.

WARD DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Benjamin F. Ward, one of this city's well-known citizens, died at his late residence, 642 Brewery street, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock following a lingering illness of about five months. Mr. Ward was the husband of Mrs. Adline M. Ward, president of the Grand United Order of Tents with headquarters in Norfolk. The deceased was a member of St. John's A. M. E. Church and enjoyed prominent fraternal connections, being a member of the Odd Fellows and St. Lukes. His funeral was held from St John's Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. J. A. Young, the pastor, officiating. Rev. Young chose his text from Revelations 7th, and delivered an impressive funeral sermon, in which he also eulogized the life of the deceased. A large crowd gathered at the church to witness the funeral rites and to pay its last respects to the deceased. Floral designs were numerous and beautiful and borne mute, but lofty testimony to the high esteem in which Benjamin F. Ward was held by Norfolk's citizenry. The active pallhearers were Wilford Knight, William Gales, Thomas Tucker, Moses Bagnall, Frank Johnson, Charles Harrison and Mr. Greene. Interment was in West Point Cemetery. Benjamin F. Ward was a native of Bedford County, N. C., but came to this city many years ago. His entire life time was practically spent here. The respect of the whole community he enjoyed and the intimate acquaintance and friendship of a large number of people was his. He is survived only by his widow, Mrs. Adline M. Ward.

(National Service) New York City—There are in New York approximately 200,000 Negroes. They are mostly hard working people, taxed to the limit with high rents. Of this number it is a very good guess to say that nearly 150,000 are addicted to what is known as playing the "numbers." These 150,000 play on an average of $1.50 a day; turn loose enough money to purchase in one year the entire community in which they live. So alarming in its proportions has the game become that it is played now extensively in Philadelphia and parts of New Jersey. New York, however is its main nest. Where does the money go? Do the players ever win? These questions I propose to answer in a series of exactly seven articles. I shall begin by explaining the principles of the game. I shall follow this with the meaning of "runners" "pick-up-men" "relaying," and finally the bankers, all of whom constitute this peculiar and delusive gambling system which even the police department of a great city seems unable to destroy. Significance of Clearing House Few of those who play the numbers know what is the real significance of the New York Clearing House. To the great majority it is simply a name that is of no importance in their gambling calculations. If the Clearing House and its functions were clearly understood I believe that the days of the number game would soon come to an end without police interference. This institution is its very nucleus. Every day excepting holidays its balances and exchanges are published. The New York Evening Globe and the Wall Street Journal are the official newspapers by which the players select to be guided. Two figures, second and third, from the exchanges, one, the third from the balances constitute the winning number. For instance if the exchanges show 903, 000,000 and the balances 280,000, 000, to win on the day on which these numbers are published you must have 300. By placing six cents on 300 you are entitled to a return of thirty-six dollars less ten per cent, this percentage being that part which the "runner" subtracts for his services in collecting and placing your numbers. The numbers are made out of small strips of paper. The original is retained by the "runner." The duplicate is given to the player. The original is turned into the "banker." The duplicate is kept by the player until after publication on the winning number in the daily papers so that he may be assured that he either has or has not the winning number. If the slips retained by the player has on it the lucky number, he turns it back to the "runner" immediately upon being paid his claim. The origina is destroyed by the "banker," twenty-four hours subsequent to the time the he receives them. If you have any claims for "hits" or winings and fail to put them in before the "banker" so destroys all slips you cannot possibly expect anything. The reason that these slips are not kept longer is because in the event of raids by the police which happen often the "banker" desires to have his place of business entirely clean of all incriminating evidence. The mere fact that he is accused of "banking" for the numbers, and the fact that an adding machine is found on his premises have not as yet been found of sufficient weight to bring about his conviction in the courts. A Dark Game The number game is very dark to almost everyone who is not on the inside. It is a game similar in all aspects to the sensational gambling schemes at Monte Carlo, except that any person with one cent may play and, if a winner, collect six dollars, less ten per cent which amounts to $5.40. It is this particular feature of small odds placed against tremendous winnings that attracts. I know of one old lady who played fifty cents "front" on 291 and fifty cents back, commonly called "boloto," and when the number appeared in the papers collected $340. (Continued on Page Three) AGE TWO ALPHAPHI ALPHA PLANS INTER-HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE Contest To Be One Of Main Features Of Local "Go To High School, Go To College Campaign. The Zeta Lambda Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha is planning to launch the local "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign more vigorously here this year than has been the case within the six years history of the movement. One of the features planned is an Inter-High School debate with the high schools of Tidewater participating. This event is planned for May 15, and invitations have been extended to debating teams of Booker T. Washington High School, Norfolk; St. Joseph's High School, Norfolk; Norcom High School, Portsmouth; Huntington on high School, Newport News and Hampton Institute Academic Department. Elimination contests are expected to be held on May 1, after which two winning teams are to contest against each other for silver cup trophy. Gold and silver medals will be awarded the participants of the winning teams under rules to be announced. The cup trophy is to go to the school winning the Tidewater championship, and will be competed for between the several schools annually. Any school winning it three successive years becomes the sole owner of it. This year marks the sixth annual "Go to High School, Go to College" Campaign of the Alpha Alpha Fraternity and the lochapter has proved an important factor in the success of these campaigns each year. The present year, however, is expected to witness the eclipsing of all previous sports to further extend this annual message. Considerable interest has already been manifested in the debating contest, Booker T. Washington school having 15 applicants who have signified a desire to compete. The debate will be held in Norfolk a place yet to be named. That will prove one of the biggest events locally for several years is surely to be doubted.

I not know as yet of a single "runner" though there are aral white bankers. The high white people, therefore, who been drawn into the game by mise of large returns on a small estment do all of their business. Negro "runners" most of am are idle, men and women ply a vigorous trade because of short hours required in col- lege of number slips, and the large range which they derive from collections. White people, however, do not know the same system as Negroes their plays. They select one or two numbers and play them continuously until one of the other turns up. When G10 out there were white people she had been playing the numbers a year or more. This particular number caused hard time in most bankers. To use the former vernacular they were hit by a large number of their customers.

As it gained in popularity, then Jews began to gather on the receiving end.

From all incitations he is now making money in the number game that ever could have made as a coockeeper. I believe that the game's prosperity is due entirely to a generous of those on the outside of all of its many mystifying modifications. For this reason, I shall explain fully in following articles its every phase. Next week I shall write an article dealing with the "trumpet." New York, April 21--The much discussed Billips Municipal Court bill which was introduced in the assembly by Assemblyman Pepe K. Billips, distill of the Twenty-first district, and pushed through the Senate has been voted by Governor Alfred E. Smith. The Governor who like everyone that had even commenced his action, and, therefore, simply showed it inside with numerous in an onliness vote. The purpose of the Bill was to redistrict the present Seventh Municipal Court District along racial other than political lines, and in his manner segregate the entire trogo group into one particular unit. Mr. Billips and his supporters explained that their plan would be put into execution because of the impossibility to elect a Negro to the Municipalench under existing arrangements. It appears, however, that Mr. Billips' own election as assemblyman from a district that is denominately white was a most badly argument against his pro- Billip's own election as assal. ional Service Co., who prepared submitted two carefully drawn courts to Governor Smith, which were set forth many reasons by the bill should be vetoed, edited by many people with being improptant factor in urging upon Governor his course. YORK NEWS Sons and Daughters of Moses At Thanksgiving Service (National Service) New York, April 30—Rev. Fredrick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem M. E. Church, 129th St., and Seventh avenue, delivered a most impressive sermon at his church on Sunday evening, April 19th, to the United Order of Sons and daughters of Moses, one of the largest fraternal societies of Colored people in New York. The order turned out in a body wearing the population uniform, and filled the entire lower section of the church. The galleries were packed with the church's members and visitors. Rev. Cullen, taking his text from the book of Exodus, dwelt with care and precision on the life and work of Moses as a leader, tracing Moses from birth to death. "God is in this church, but we must watch out and be careful. The Devil is old and wise," were among many of the striking remembrances included in his brilliant sermon. Mr. T. H. Lockery is Grand Marshall of the Order. NEW YORK,YOU ASKED FOR IT. HERE IT IS (National Service) I expect to handle every Negro publication in the country. I now have the Norfolk Journal and Guide, and the Freeman, newspapers; and will most likely be the Boston Guardian and the Boston Chronicle. I have Opportunity, will get the Jessenger man from the last letter of Mr. A.J. Gill, business manager of the Crisis, will have it. None of this however, is the question. Every publication placed with my company will assuredly get circulation. The Guide and Freeman are at present on more newstands in New York than any of the local papers. I have seen people buy them by the hundreds before they were delivered. On Saturday night April 26, almost five hundred of my papers were sold. The issue of the Freeman and the Guide will be talked about everywhere. Why? Because my company is not interested in murders or thefts or divorce cases. I want the people to have the news. I want each company that purchases a copy of the Guide and the Freeman, and they are usually purchased together, to feel that they have news that country; news that they can argue over, and win. For each publication I pick the articles go that no one will have the same time. On the other hand, whatever appears in the two publications will probably not appear in any of the local newspapers. My company is not allowed to clip on to rather, and what a gathering of the news there will be is here long. Every reader of my papers can go home settle down, cool and suggest to a friend that at last they are able to get news that's news. New Yorkers, I want a thousand readers for the Guide and Freemont in the next four weeks. Will I get them?

Ye Olc Tyme Literary Contest receiving reminiscence of days of the late Norfolk Mission College was staged by the alumnus association of that school Wednesday night in the auditorium of the new Paul Lawrence Dumbar school in which the former members of the Olympian and Athenian Literary Societies were participants with Miss Mildred Dudley winning over Miss Een Tynes in the essay, Miss Addie Robinson winning over Mrs. Elise Abrens in the declamation and the negative, Mr. Jerry Gilliam and Attty.

The executive staff consists of E. S. Peters, president; Abner E. Lee secretary and T. P. Turner, treasurer. Fifty-three boys were taken in the club as members at the meeting this week, making a total membership of 103. The enrollment of boys anxious to avail themselves of the opportunities the organization purposes to offer has been rapid. They have been stimulated to affiliate themselves with the movement largely than the advice of their parents, most of whom have honored for just such an opportunity for their little sons as the club is designed to offer. The group of public-spirited citizens behind the efforts to give Norfolk's colored boys proper recreational facilities are leaving no slumber to build up an organization of youthful citizens that will be second to none in the country. Although no permanent club room is available, nor is there any specialized equipment at hand, the club staff is going ahead with what is said that is abundantly available that is boys. The men are taking the problems of the youth, replying gaining their confidence and at the same time, allowing to leave the attention of (Continued From Page One) Liquor was illegally dispensed during pre-Volstead days, but there were not so many of these "private entertainments," because the saloons detained from them. With the advent of prohibition "buffet this," "barns," and other places where men and women meet and indulge the cup that scars have had a mushroom growth. The "doppe" den in many cases is merely an offence from these liquor emporiums. Quite often they are both in one. A "doppe" addict is almost certain to crave for a little "boke" after he becomes bilious from liquor. The other members of the party may never have "sniffed," but it requires only the slightest temptation to induce most of them to take an inhale for the thrill of it when boofer whiskey has already rendered them irresponsible. Two or three "sniffs" and a new victim is made. Young women, young men and even boys and girls of tender age frequently become addicts then suggestions of deprived older persons, almost before they realize what they are doing. It is always the desire and aim of drug peddlers to add new customers and they never pass by an opportunity to give the traffic a new victim. "Done Dens" Drugs are sold in the dues in Norfolk in two bills (25 cents) a griff. A "sniff" is less than what will cover a man's tiniest finger nail. A clean piece of paper is spread out on the barren table at which the addict takes a seat. The dose is taken from concealment by the peddler and laid out on the paper. It is precious "stuff," and every precaution is taken to avoid wasting a single atom. Carefully the addict scrapes it together in a tiny mound. He then, with a knife blade, or some other sharp instrument, divides the tiny mound into two distinct heaps, one for each nostril. He must do his "sniffing" where he buys his "dope." That is an invidible rule of the "doppe" house. The "evidence" must be consumed on the spot. With the "sniff" prepared in two little heaps, the addict pulls out his "sniff" tube, if he has one, if he hasn't, the house politely provides him with the regular house tube. One post-traced tan an end of the little tube and the other end of the tube placed on the little heap of deadly drugs, a long and deep inhale; the same thing repeated on the other little heap and the dose has been consumed. But the addict is not ready to leave the "joint." He craves for more, and if he has more money, he usually hangs around until all has been spent. It is after his money is spent and the effect of his last dose has died out that he becomes desperate for more. Nothing will be permit to stand between himself and another 25 cents now. Robbery, murder or anything else may be resorted to in order to get the needed "two-bits." (To be continued next week) the public to the plight of this large group of disadvantaged children.

Washington High School at the school auditorium on Monday night next, May 4. An orchestra of htirteen pieces will furnish the music for the performance. One of the outstanding features of the play will be the Spanish dances taught by Miss M. W. Lawrence. Miss Lawrence enjoys considerable note for her ability to instruct in these artistic dances and is an artistic dancer herself of considerable talent. The appearance before the foolights of any of her pupils has been an occasion for keen enjoyment by large audiences. Booker T. Washington girls have of late made a decided bit in producing entertainments that have delighted the public, and it may be expected in "Gitanos," they will elisease all former efforts. The advance sale of tickets indicates that a large crowd will witness the operetta Monday night. "This safe is not what it was cracked up to be" complained the yegg as he found only a few dollars after a hard night's work with the acetylene torch. SUMMER Virginia Univ.

FOR MAY DAY May Day offers another opportunity for a happy day for the children. The celebration of May Day with a dance is an old custom. It was long ago customary to start before dawn, making excursions to the woods and bringing in wild flowers for the May festival. A bough was brought from the forest, stripped of its branches, planted, decorated with garlands of flowers and became the center of dances and games. In planning the May Party, nothing could be more in keeping with the day than the May Pole dance. Attach strips of hunting of varying colors to the top of the pole. The children will be delighted in their white dresses, or in a costume the color of the bunting ribbon. In tripping around the pole the ribbon will wind on it to produce the very pretty effect of the gray colored pole. To un- WHY NOT JOIN THE FLOWERS $1 To Join 10c Per Month Receive a bunch each week.

BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Hampton, Va., April 25—Faultless weather and clear skies greeted the Seasiders who secured Hampton's second consecutive shut-out victory of the season when Edward Hargrove allowed the Hilltopters of Virginia Normal Institute a measley three hits while his teammates collected three runs for a 3 to 0 triumph. Last Saturday St. Paul was held to four hits and Hampton to four runs in the Seasiders first victory; this Saturday Virginia Normal Institute could secure only three hits and Hampton three runs. It is now an avowed intention of the Seasiders to hold opponents to exactly no more hits than they (the Seasiders) can garner runs. That is, for instance, if in Hampton's next game, which is with Union University, Union holds Hampton to about four runs, then Hampton hopes and plans to hold Union to about four hits. Too, despite the fact that the season is just well under way, the Seasiders believe they are headed towards another championship, this time in the National Pastime, and by the process of handing their respective and respectable opponents a collection of goose eggs, figure they can add a baseball title to their collection of championships. It will be a hard task, but with three good boxmen, a peppery pain of receivers, an airtight infield, as it has been up to date, a hard hitting and clean fielding outfield, and capable coaching, Hampton seems to have a good chance, for today FROM THE WILLEY A.

SNAPOUT OF IT KID The Harry Wills-Weinert Case Paddy Mullins, the manager of the articles for the Wills-Weinert squabble the padded mitts who sent up loud, condescended to fight his man again of staging a successful comeback. If a long chance, He has everything to gain, whereas on the other hand Wills to lose. If he loses to Wills it will means at the same time, if Wills, pans it will be no more than he she should not afford to withhold anything if a land of dreams. No decisive victory will have to be knocked prone and of having his stock boosted—other will be a hopeless hopeful with nothing but isn't anymore. Mullins sure that. A statement was advanced to extend himself on Madden of Firpo, cisive victory. It could be clearly individuals that Harlem Harry hand Argentines as if he were a baby and fighting chance if the former had a fury of his attack. As for Marsettle. There is no need of marvel this durable Irishman. It is sometime is a question of whether or not the do it with his devastating punches. If why try. The Wills-Weinert—To Coming to the Wills-Weinert—tense interest, because in these battal survivors will be in line to get a finally gets into the ring to defend case will be complex and complicate. If Wills upsets Weinert and Tunnell at the end of the argument smiling their hair not even mussed up, the pug go in spite of themselves. This will door fights scheduled for the near f clever defensive scrappers who sell fellow daffey, especially if the other punch. When two men of the type suit usually is not an interesting fight hibition. This the fans do not like pushers who bore in and furnish plen the fights in store now will furnish a ponent without doubt. Bad hands or good hands, if it takes them to topple Weinert he must do Mullins, the manager of Harry Wills up to the Wills-Weinert squibble turned a dead cat mitts who sent up loud wails for a bout, but to fight his man against another who is a successful comeback. In fighting Weinert, once, He has everything to lose and an infliction on the other hand Weinert has all to gain the loses to Wills it will be no more than is to the same time, if Wills, wallops Weinert for he be no more than he should do. The Brown do withhold what if he expects to send a team. No decisive victory will suffice. Chloe he knocked prone and made to stay put if his stock boosted—otherwise, otherwise and hopelessly withhold what to do but pratey anymore. Mullins sure threw a boner in making cement was advanced to the effect that Wills on Madden of Firpo, but contented him. It could be clearly seen through the eye that Harlem Harry handled the big piece of ass if he were a baby and the latter would once if the former had felt disposed to cut his attack. As for Madden the question is no need of marveling over Wills now the Irishman. It is something no one else has of whether or not the celebrated Mons, this devastating punches. Madden just won't. The Wills-Weinert—Tunney Gibbons Court to the Wills-Weinert—Tunney Gibbons case, because in these battles there will be so be in line to get a crack at Dempsey into the ring to defend the crown. But as as complex and complicating as it is now and sets Weinert and Tunney and Gibbons are of the argument smiling and as cool as a dog it even mussed up, the public will demand a call themselves. This will no doubt be the case scheduled for the near future. Tunney and active scrappers who seldom wade in to know, especially if the other fellow has class on two men of the type just mentioned are men who is not an interesting fight, merely a high class the fans do not like to see. They like bore in and furnish plenty of action and thus store now will furnish Jack Dempsey with out doubt. Paddy Mullins, the manager of Harry Wills up to the signing of articles for the Wills-Weinert squirrel turned a deaf ear to knights of the padded mitts who sent up loud walls for a bout, but the silent one condescended to fight his man against another who is on the last lap of staging a successful comeback. In fighting Weinert, Wills is taking a long chance. He has everything to lose and an infinitesimal sum to gain, whereas on the other hand Weinert has all to gain and nothing to lose. If he loses to Wills it will be no more than is expected, which means at the same time, if Will, wallops Weinert for a row of dust pans it will be no more than he should do. The Brown Panther can not afford to withhold anything if he expects to send his man to the land of dreams. No decisive victory will suffice. Charley Weinert will have to be knocked prone and made to stay put if Harry has hope of having his stock boosted—otherwise, otherwise and the Stevedore will be a hopeless hopeful with nothing to do but prate over what was but isn't anymore. Mullins sure threw a boner in making this match. A statement was advanced to the effect that Wills would not extend himself on Madden of Firpo, but contented himself with a decisive victory. It could be clearly seen through the eye of unbiased individuals that Harlem Harry handled the big piece of beef from the Argentines as if he were a baby and the latter wouldn't have had a fighting chance if the former had felt disposed to cut loose with all the fury of his attack. As for Madden the question is very hard to settle. There is no need of marveling over Wills not knocking out this durable Irishman. It is something no one else has done and it is a question of whether or not the celebrated Mons, Dempsey can do it with his devastating punches. Madden just won't be flattened so why try. The Wills-Weinert—Tunney Gibbons Case Coming to the Wills-Weinert—Tunney Gibbons case it is one of tense interest, because in these battles there will be survivors. The survivors will be in line to get a crack at Dempsey perchance he finally gets into the ring to defend the crown. But again the same case will be as complex and complicating as it is now and was before. If Wills upsets Weinert and Tunney and Gibbons are on their feet at the end of the argument smiling and as cool as a cucumber with WEINERT HARRY WILLS their hair not even mussed up, the public will demand a Wills-Dempsey go in spite of themselves. This will no doubt be the case in these outdoor fights scheduled for the near future. Tunney and Gibbons are clever defensive scrappers who seldom wade in to knock the other fellow daffey, especially if the other fellow has class as well as a punch. When two men of the type just mentioned are matched, the result usually is not an interesting fight, merely a high class boxing exhibition. This the fans do not like to see. They like the leather pushers who bore in and furnish plenty of action and thrills. Anyhow the fights in store now will furnish Jack Dempsey with his next opponent without doubt. Bad hands or good hands, if it takes all that Wills can put behind them to topple Weinert he must do it to maintain his present status.

Moses, the "Hilltopers" capable catcher, doubled, stole third, but was tagged out coming, home by Longworth Quinn, who was Hamptons' catcher today. M. E. Allen, pitching for Virginia Normal, was by no means a poor boxman. He called Hargrove's number of strikeouts—six and walked only one player. His teammates were not as steady or sensational, though, as were the Seasiders, and that, in short, tells the story of his and their defeat.

DEHART HUBBARD FRANKLIN ROMPS IN FIRST SETBACK OVER ALL-STARS Franklin, Va., April 24—The mighty warriors of the Franklin High School baseball squad put in some good batting practice this afternoon at the expense of the Franklintwain All Stars, this being the second exhibition game for the warriors. They won by a 10-4 score. Spurlock and Wood took turns on the mound for the winners and held the visitors almost helpless until the seventh when an error by the high school gave their resulting scores. Frances will probably be out of the game for the next two weeks due to an accident he received in today's game. WHO BUYS C. D. Kenny's Popular 40c Coffee?

Columbus, Ohio, April 30—To Dearch Hubbard, world famous athlete of the University of Michigan, came the first defeat in his career today at the annual Ohio relays staged at Ohio State University here. The Mighty Wolverine saw Bill Dowding (white) Gorgentown University star, leap 23 feet 2 inches in the broad jump, a scant quarter inch more than his best effort. The meet was staged in a steady drizzle which left the field in a very unfavorable condition. However, Hubbard came back in the 100 yard dash, taking the event in the fast time of 9 and 5-5 seconds, a fraction slower than the world's record. E.

EDITORIAL COMMENT EDITORIAL COMMENT SPORTS Page 1 and the Rest stand along with the rest of the publications that are "Pro Bono Publicen." Why does not nature provide some means by which pitchers on baseball teams can perform with either hand and with the same facility. It can be readily seen here what improvement that would have on the game and the team also prevent him from playing the royal razzberry of the fans when he goes bad, only being able to use one arm to pitch. Now, in event he could use both hands equally as well it would be necessary to make gloves that could be used on either fin. When the picture got tired pitching with one arm or found himself going stale, why he could change gloves and start pitching with the other arm and would not have to be taken out on the field to play in the game with the other hand. By this means, also, teams would not have to have so many pictures as under the present handicap. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sire: I note with much pain the advent of the Razzberry into the field of journalism and have long felt the need of such a medium. It was with mingled emotion that I read the first issue and the quicker you cease publication the better it will be for you. I stand ready at any time to render you any aid, as I'm in the understaking business and would be more than glad to serve you. My office is open at all times to serve the staff of the Razzberry the biggest piece of bank in ten state and forty-seven counties. Dear Editor: I am a man of few words and the Hazzery, using the parlorer of Ruhe Goldberg, is a "lotta holoney." It does me much good to see, hear or know what progress the press is making. The Razzberry comes like a zazphyr on a hot and sultry day. We folks take tired of heavy stuff at times, but I'm tired of it. I'm thinking that you must have a man from the State Crazy House to be the editor. I don't mean to be insinuating or even to cast any reflection on the paper. I believe it will soon takes its place along with the other papers such as the Chileco Defender, The Negro World and the Chileo Whip. A. Buehouse Nutt. (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N.

BOONE RICKARD TO PICK OPPONENT FOR DEMPSEY (Special to Journal and Guide) New York, April 30—It has been learned that Tex Rickard will pick from the mess of fights on card for the summer months an opponent for Jack Dempsey, who says he will not fight under nobody's promotion but the celebrated promoter. Rickard will not name a man to fight for the title until the gents who are lined up to scrap take a paste at each other. Some are of the opinion that it may be Tommy Gibbons again or possibly Gene Tunney. Then again Harry Wills will have to be reckoned with inasmuch as he has been standing on the outside as one of Jack's most logical adversaries. Until Harry is disposed, he must always be reckoned with when it comes down to heavyweight championship fight talk. Cannot Pick Now Rickard is quoted as having said, "A man would be crazy to pick a man to battle Dempsey right now," or words to the same effect. "Let's see how these fights come out this summer before we get to the champion's next opponent. "Wills, Tunney and Gibbons are all going to have some scraps and until they have it out I wouldn't be silly enough to pick any of them right now. They tell me that Jim Maloney, the New England heavyweight shows a lot of promise, and some day that he will be up at the top. "Well, you never can tell. We might get an opponent for Dempsey over night. You know how Firpo came along from obscurity to a contender for the title in a few brief months." MOREHOUSEWINS FROM CLARK U. Atlanta, Ga.—In a veritable "Comedy of Errors," Morehouse defeated Clark University 10 to 7. Neither team was up to its usual form, as a result the game was one of the most loose ever played in Atlanta. Morehouse scored two in the first inning on Dunn's triple, singles by Idlett and E. Williams and an error by Young. Clark's shortstop. Clark tied the score in its half of the first inning on Young's double to right and su- cessive singles by Hendon and Jones. Morehouse came back and scored one in the second when Rogers singled to right, stole second and scored on Daniels double to left. Clark then took the lead in her half of the second by scoring three runs. Travis was hit by a pitched ball, Robinson flied out to J. Williams in center, Doles single, sending to third. Young again hit for two buses, scoring Travis and Toles. Young was out at third trying to stretch his double into three bases, Hendon reached first on Hawkins' wild throw and kept on to second when Dunn let the ball get away, reached third on a wild throw by pitcher and scored on McPharland's single.

THEOLOGS MEET A BIG SUCCESS THEOLOGS MEET A BIG SUCCESS Lynchburg, Va.—On the hottest day of this year, sixty-four athletes gathered on Seminary's new track field,—all eager to cop first honors for their respective classes or school,—all eager to establish new records that will go down in the archives and there remain until some future contender will exhibit more skill and endurance—until some marauder establishes a better work. This meet, the first of its kind here, was a success. Everybody cooperating with the officials, everybody eager to contest or see the contestants. The girls teams from Dunbar, though shut out of the early events copped two first places when the star lady performer of the afternoon made a remarkable jump of 14 feet 8 1-2 inches. Miss Moore also tied Smith and Rodgers for second place in the girls high jump, and her sensational finish in girls' relay was the most thrilling event of the day. Girls' Relay The girls relay was slightly marred when Miss Elaine White took a dangerous spill at the first curve, but soon proved the thrill of the day when the first three Royal Daughters of Dunbar ran determinedly on in spite of the fact that the first years and Seniors had established a long lead at the final relay. The dimutive Miss Amy Lee Brookins took the baton with a twenty yard lead established by Cradle's great run, followed by Miller and then Branch. Moore, with a thirty-yard handicap soon passed Miller who had been passed by Branch at the straight way. Moore challenged Branch for second place. Branch fought doggedly but the pace set by Moore was too much and Branch released second place to Moore, who was not satisfied, but almost flew at the fleet-footed Brookins and finished to win in the most thrilling race ever seen by girls. The spectators were electrified at the sensational finish, which to the writer appeared to be a dead beat, but after the excitement had cleared away the judges declared Moore and Dunbar the winners by an inch. Watson And Rogers Tie Watson and Rodgers tied for high point scorers, each winning three firsts and one second place. This meet will long be remembered and credit is due Roy Perry and Miss Beatrice Hurt, who worked diligently with the boys and girls, getting the interest of each sex. The Seminary girls won the girls dual contest from Dunbar, but much credit is due Miss Elroy Spencer, who brought a well trained team, and also won the prize of the meet when they took the first place in the 880 yard.

LOCAL TENNIS OPENING DELAYED Inclemene weather has delayed the formal opening of the Tidewater Tennis Club which was scheduled for Wednesday of last week. It is not that the weather prevented members from playing, but proper conditioning of the courts has been handicapped. The club has plans underway that will add to the playing facilities of the courts which will be a great improvement over last year. The Tidewater Tennis Club has made more rapid advancement than any other athletic organization in the city and in the first year of its existence, a club and inter-city junior and senior tournaments were successfully held in which winners were awarded medals. The club sent the first tennis team to the State tournament that ever represented Norfolk of fictially NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Dunbar Set Ne and the members brought back a silver loving cup, symbolic of clean sportsmanship.

HAMPTON MEET LOC Featured Events STATE NORMAL DOWNSTUSKEGEE Montgomery, Ala., April 30— Netting four runs in an eighth in- ning rally and nided by errors of the visitors, the State Normal Hornet nine were able to get the long end of a 5-2 score Thursday in the final encounter of the series with Tuskegee Institute. This was the last game of the four for the season between these two teams and was the only one to be won by State Normal. Reuben Lewis was the hero of the day, winning his first game for State Normal and going the whole route for the first time. He allowed only seven well scattered hits and was given almost perfect support, one error marring the fielding record of the locals for the day. Walter Cooley led with three bingles, one of which was for three bases. Hall got two hits and Legree, William Cooley and Savage one each. For the visitors, Wooldridge was the batting hero with two hits while the remaining five were distributed between Redeaux, Baker Gilbo, Bonner and Speelman. Warren pitched a good game until relieved by Smith in the eighth. Batteries: Tuskegee, Warren and Speelman; State Normal, Lewis and Hall. ST. PAUL NOSES OUT OVER A. & T. Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va., April 25—St. Paul conquered A & T. College by the score of 11-10 here today in the hardest fought and most thrilling baseball battle witnessed in the Old County of Brunswick this season. St. Paul hit her stride right in the beginning, and was the architect of her own salvation until the Carolinians inaugurated their slugging bombardment in the fourth inning. A couple of runs in this frame brought hope to the visitors. They added four tallies in the sixth, two in the seventh and squared up matters in the eighth. St. Paul broke the tie in the eighth with the run that gave the Tigers a miraculous victory. "Old Master" Walker went to the bat for Artis. He was given a free ticket to the first sack. He got to second by theft, and went to third on M. Walker's single. Lee batted a high fly to Armstrong who made a wild throw to the plate. O. G. Walker slid in home and was credited with the winning run. M. Walker also decided to make it home, but Duncan recovered the ball and shot it to Lane who nabbed M. Walker about three feet from the last corner for the third out. Wallace blanked the Down Home boys in the final inning. Lane's and Pollard's homers, and Clifton Williams' and Pollard's fielding and Duncan's catching featured.

Hampton, Va., April 25—Next Saturday, May 2, Hampton Institute holds its annual interclass track and field meet. With just 3 weeks left, before those athletes who perform successfully in this interclass meet have a chance to compete in the Fourth Annual Championship Track and Field Meet held by Hampton Institute on Armstrong Field, especially good records are being looked for. The "Tidewater Relay" open only to scholastic quartets in the Tidewater section of Virginia is creating great interest; every school eligible to compete is making some effort to place a team capable of placing first in the competition. The scholastic relay, open to all high schools offers the opportunity for nationwide high school competition, which will bring out the supreme mile relay team. The runners receive individual gold medals and the team a cup. Each individual runner who places in the first three in any event will be awarded a gold medal for first place; a silver medal for second place; and a bronze medal for third place; and be named the champion of his event. The additional trophies in the intercollegiate will add considerable interest. The "Chicago Defender" cup will be an additional prize for the 440 yard winner. The "Frank A. Young" Cup will go to the high school quarter mile champ, while the Madame Walker Company gives a cup to the intercollegiate relay winning team. Such prizes are added features and will be given along with the regular beautiful prizes. Aside from these material tokens of track and field supremacy, however, there is the keen interest and friendly rivalry which presages the coming meet on the 16th to be the greatest athletic spectacle among our schools. RADIOGRAPHS By WILLIAM W. THOMAS ANTENNAE The problem of antenna installation has caused carelessness on the part of many fans. Here in many instances lies the trouble of faulty reception, and have sometimes been known to prove fatal. There is nothing technical about adherence of the following don'ts, the wire should prove efficient. Dont run antenna over other electric wires carrying any kind of current. Dont attach antenna to neighbors. Dont attach antenna to poles carrying, other wires. Never run antenna to power lines of any kind. Satisfactory receptions depends greatly upon the careful construction of it. Realizing that the amount of current gathered by an antenna is extremely small running into millionths of an ampere, it is necessary for the fans to save all the energy possible. The energy gathered by the largest antenna is not equal to the strength of a house fly. The antenna should therefore be as high as possible and shielded from surrounding object. If there are pointers, lines, trolley wires, are lights, and others near your house you should move your antenna as for from them as possible. The antenna should run parallel with each other for an appreciable length, unwanted noises will be heard. Antennae should be insulated at various points of support to prevent leakage to the building of which it is attached, thence to the ground. Outsideerials give greater signal strength, and distance reception than indoor ones, sometimes called the radio compass or radio called the radio compass of radio geniometer. because of its direc- tional qualities. The indoor aerial or loop has greater celebrity and is less affected by static. Save Where You Can Borrow 8% Gold Bonds Denominations $10, $50, $100, $500 No coupons to clip.

B. E. Smith, lust Sunday’ morning. ‘The minister used fur his subject the words, “Where ‘There Is No Visiun, ‘The People Perish.” Proverbs 19: 18, Rev. Smith said in part: “It hws always been und always will be true that where there is no vision the peuple perish, Where there is no vision Of health und people disregard the laves of health, disease and pestilence walk ibroad, afflictions come be- cause Nature will not forget nor forgive the neglect of health, and people perish of disease. Like- wise, where there is no eeonomic vision, people perish. When us i race, ‘We fail to secure economic surety, fail to putronize race in- stitutions and professions, we per- ish because of this lack of vision and we ure only educating our boys and girls to have the door of opportunity shut in their faces because they will have the educa- tion but nowhere to practice. ‘Where ‘There Is No Education Where there is no educational vision, the people perish. If we continue to educate our girls and neglect our boys, the race will be only half educated, Our girls will have to be unequally yoked or re- main unmarried and this means 9- ciul disuster cither way. Th ¢ home-life will be broken down and the hand of Destiny will write for our race “you have been weighed in the balance and found wunt- ing.” It is pre-eminently true that where there is no spiritual vision and no religious vision, — people perish, So obvious is, this truth that it needs no emphasis, Lat us rather emphasize the need of an inspiring vision. Great achieve- ments “of all. kinds—diseoveries, telegtuph, telephone, wireless tele- graphy and many” olhers—have been the fruits of great visions. Isaiah's vision aroused him to activity. He became the eagle eyed prophet and thre seven cen- turies he saw the Messiah coming, Eekicl’s prophecy of the dry bones coming together, and Dan- iel’s of the stone cut out of the mountain and crushing the beast, had their fulfillment in the wonder- ful works and.uchievements of the Messiah. When fohn was in the spirit on, the Lord's day, he had a vision which enabled him to de- setibe the evlectial city. Pilgrims’ Progress Result of Vision John Bunyon's Pilkrims’ Prose ress Was the result of his vision, Our own mothers ind Fathers hid vivid conceptions of a mighty Gud, visions of & powerful and person= al God and thotch they were for~ bidden to hold religious services, they stole out in spite of all oppo- sitions and they vit of the full. ness of their hearts have given us as our heritage, the niighly spir- ituals. ‘To ‘eet this vision we must be baptized in the fire of the Holy Ghost, must have the buplism of the Pentecost which we get at the Cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, Follow ait, beewuse where there is ny vision, the people perish.” ‘AL the lose of the service Uhree persons were weleomed buck inty the fellowship of the church andl une new member taken in. ‘The Loyal Laion presented $70 to the church and the Junior Missionaries | presented $10 to be used in the drive for hymnals.

Long, pastor of ,the Bank Street Chureh preached to ‘a large congregation at the morn- ‘ing service on the text, “How Shall [We Escape, If We Neglect Sq Great A Salyation.”—Heb, 2:3. In the course of the sermon, the pas- tor touched upon retribution as sure to follow’ as the penalty for breaking certuin laws. He took in- to account and stressed the great salvation of Christ brought to mankind by his suffering ‘and jdeath, and characterized the Savior as pure and spotless, having no peers. Adherence to Christ, the speaker declared, saves the physical life and causes a man to give his life to the service uf humanity, He scored those who run money mad, who sre pleasure mad to the neg: lect. of the Great Sulvation offered, if they but accept. PIRST BAPTIST CHURC (Herkley Aye.) The morning service was opened with lively spiritual singing by th choir. The children's service preceding the regalar sermon was very ¢f- fective.

The same was with Jesus, He was cast aside because He could not be fitted into every life, He berzed his hearers. to, tear fiown the old building of sin in their lives and rebuild with the foundation of Jesus Christ.

This spacious room is well ventilated, having an exposure on three sides. On either side are individual cots on which all rest for nearly an hour, twice each day. A bottle of milk with Graham crackers is given each child during the morning and just before dismissal. In addition to this they receive a specially prepared dinner consisting of foods pregnant with vitamins. Their teacher at times assumes the varied "role" of tutor, physician, nurse and mother. That she is succeeding is attested by the remarkable improvements noted on the health chats. The Cooking Department The Cooking Department One of the primary desires of all forms of life is food. To satisfy these demands that may arise while the pupils are in school a sanitary lunch is served every day by the future culinary artists, under the tutelage of an expert in that line. Of more importance, however, is the careful training these little girls receive in the preparation of these foods—each girl being required to learn the art of planning and preparing wholesome meals. Sewing Room and Workshop The principal incidentally mentions a new boom and we repair to the lowest floor to see the "weavers" in action. A rug rug is in the making and one is impressed with the still of the youthful weavers. Variously at tables are other girls preparing material for the "rug" by sewing strips of cloth together; while still others are busily making other articles. Behind a curtain is a model living room and it is ined a "model." On the same floor, separated by a hall, is the workshop for the boys. Here they are taught how to use tools and the character of their work indicates that they are learning. Such helpful training that these boys and girls receive in the sewing rooms and shop is harmoniously supplemented by the practical instruction accorded them in their classrooms. As we return to the office with our guide, we can truthfully say with the principal, that "the Paul Laurence Dunbar School is intrinsically a school of opportunity."

The Times lauds the generosity of prominent white people and organizations in their gifts to the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund and expresses optimism as to the final outcome of the campaign conducted by these institutions. Said the New York Times: "Bishop Manning and Mr. V. Everett Macy are among the latest recruits to the movement for raising a $5,000,000 endowment fund for Hampton and Tuskegee before the end of the present year. It is a big undertaking, but promise of success lies in the support forthcoming in both the South and the North. The Atlanta Constitution calls attention to the strides "Negroes are actually making in increasing the material wealth of the South," and finds that Negro education along industrial lines is "of national concern." Education Primary Tool Education, whether of the Tus-hy kegce-Hampton industrial type or Sea of the type supplied by colleges and san professional schools, is the primary be- tool which the Negro must employ to promote his own progress and res- that of the community in which he co-lives. Yet the best of tools may Fe be blunted against too formidable gra- obstacles.

It is a satisfaction to turn to the last annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and find evidence of the subsidence of the grosser forms of race hostility. There is really good reason for believing that lynching, a hideous blot on our national record, is destined to disappear. During the thirty years before 1919, the average number of lynchings per year was 107. In 1920 it dropped to 65 and remained at approximately that level for three years. In 1923 it was down to 28; last year it was 16. The association calls attention to a number of instances during the past year where State authorities have sought to prevent mobs from taking the law into their own hands. Residential Segregation "Residential segregation for Negroes is a newer and more difficult problem. In 1917 the United States Supreme Court decided in the Louisville case that the segregation of Negroes by law is unconstitutional. On the basis of that decision a segregation law enacted by the Louisiana Legislature last September has been voided. The same end is striven for in a number of places by "cooperative" action among white home-owners and real estate interests. Restrictive covenants have been upheld in the Federal courts. Clearly the legalities and principles involved in such private action are different from discrimination by ordinance or law. The ultimate decision usually is based on the economic argument.

VIRGIN ISLAND EDITOR IS CITED FOR CONTEMPT District Judge George Washington Williams, American, Peeved Over Article Appearing In "Emancipator." New York, N. Y.—An appeal to the Navy, Department to intervene to end the friction in the Virgin Islands between the natives and the American administrative officers has been sent by the American Civil Liberties Union following receipt of a cablegram on April 22, from Rothschild Francis, editor of the Emancipator, a native paper, who has been cited for contempt by District Judge George Washington Williams for an article in his paper. The Civil Liberties Union characterizes the article as "innocuous" and charges that the Judge's action is due to "animus against the editor because of the editor's opposition to the Judge's appointment." The article discusses in general language, without mention of names or circumstances, the conviction of Francis last January for criminal libel before Judge Williams. Had Jail Sentence Francis was sentenced at that time to 30 days in jail for an article which Judge Williams held libeled a native policeman. The case has been appealed to the U. S. District Court at Philadelphia, which handles Virgin Islands appeals. Francis is being represented by A. A. Berle jr., a New York attorney. This request to the Navy Department to intervene is being made through Howard Gill, Washington representative of the Civil Liberties Union. In response an inquiry has been made of the governor of the Virgin Islands by the Navy Department. It is reported that the governor has disqualified Judge Williams from handling the case of contention against Francis because of his prejudice. PAGE EIGHT CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING WILL AID FARMERS Federal Council of Churches Issues Report on General Conditions of Agriculture Following Survey. New York City, May 1.—"Farmers must set up co-operative economic) results are considered marketing, if they are to secure justice and avoid exploitation in the marketing of their products," is the statement made in a bulletin announced by the Department of Research and Education of the Federal Council of Churches. The report also says, however that "if the widespread co-operative marketing movement is to make any new social and spiritual contribution to American life, it is necessary that the large majority of its leaders follow different policies than in the past and that the social and religious leaders must not continue their attitude of indifference to this important development." The movement in this country is said to differ strikingly from out-standing European types because of its exclusively commercial character. Marketing Association The majority of farmers' co-operative probably differ little from business corporations, it is stated if social (as compared with economics) results are considered. The social work carried on by the Burley Tobacco Growers Co-operative Association, the New York Dairymen's League and the associations among the cotton and tobacco growers in North Carolina, is described as "more widespread and significant than that of any other rural co-operatives." On the other hand, "social, educational and religious organizations and their leaders have been largely unconcerned about the development of 'farmers' marketing associations." "More co-operative relations' between the economic associations and the social and religious organizations are suggested as the means of acquaintng religious leaders with the value of economic cooperation and of enabling the cooperatives to make their full social and spiritual contributions. "There is little technique or experience in developing this kind of co-operative relationship in such a way as to achieve any worthwhile results. But if social development is to be furthered by economic organizations some such co-operation must be worked out. Local co-operative associations should be developed into discussion groups as far as possible. Those groups might well take up, as is done in some instances, social and educational tasks of the community, education in co-operative methods and principles, as well as commercial problems." Conferences Between Leaders "More contacts and conferences between leaders of farmers' a nd urban consumer' co-operatives" are also suggested. "Leaders of farmers' marketing associations might establish closer relationships with co-operatives among both consumers and producers in other countries. Farm women might be brought into closer touch with co-operative organizations." In explaining the purpose of the study, which is published by the 'University of Chicago Press, the report says: "The social and religious values of intensive co-operative action on the part of some groups in Europe and the United States appeared so great that it was deemed important to make a comprehensive review of the movement in the United States, the farmers' marketing associations are the most spectacular co-operative enterprises in the country. About one-seventh of the farmers have joined organizations of one type alone." The bulletin was written by Benson L. Landis, research assistant in the Department of Research and Education of the Federal Council of Churches. MOORE TOWN Moore Town, N.

College defeated Elizabeth City State Normal in the final debating contest Saturday evening. The proposition is a wide awake issue before the United States, and has been vitally interesting to all the nations of the world, since 1920. The semi-finals were held Saturday afternoon in which all the other schools were eliminated except Elizabeth City State Normal and A. & T. These two schools were considered to be eligible for the final contest. A. and T.'s affirmative team was unpheld by Messrs. N. N, Galloway African Cotton Production May Reach 200,000 Bales --- and W. E. Petts. The negative by Messrs. B. W. Holloman and M. E. Patterson. Elizabeth City's affirmative team was upheld by Miss Lillian Moss and Mr. Raymond Purnell. The negative by Messrs. Julius Mebane and Nicholas Michins. The final was held in Dudley Hall at 8 p. m. Saturday evening. A large crowd witnessed the contest. Both sides were very effective in the history and analysis of the question, also in the presentation of their arguments. The judges passed in their decisions after hearing the debate. The decisions were two to one in favor of A. & T. Our late president, James B. Dudley was intensely interested in debating, in fact the Inter-High School debating league was largely established by him. He did everything in his power to stimulate interest in debating. He bore the expenses of the winning team to and from the school, and in order to create still more interest he purchased a One-Hundred-Dollar Silver Cup as a prize to the winning school. The gentlemen composing A. & T's debating teams thought it fitting and proper that the Dudley Cup should be kept at the Agricultural and Technical College for the first year of its existence as a trophy. The beautiful Cup is to travel up and down the State creating interest among the students of the various high schools along the line of intellectual development, until it is won by a school for four consecutive times. It will then become the permanent property of that school. The success of A. & T. is due in a large measure to the instruction of Prof. G. W. Hicks, who is our English Instructor for this year. The Cup was awarded to the winning team by Prof. F. D. Bluford, acting president, after which a reception was given in Murphy Hall for the members of the visiting teams. GREENVILLE Greenville, N.

April 16. After an hour spent in fancy work the hostess served a dainty repast. The club gave an outing Friday night. April 3, at the Elks Hall. A large crowd was in attendance. "The idea of deadly diseases and barbaric peoples is fast fading out of the African situation," said Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chairman of the Phelps-Stokes Fund Educational Commission to East Africa upon his arrival from London Monday on the CARMANIA. "The potentialities of East Africa alone almost surpass the power of human appreciation." Dr Jones said. "East Africa's arable increase, exclusive of South Africa, may in time almost equal that of the United States, being an area three and a half times the total surface of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. East Africa, north of the Transvaal, contains 300,000 square miles of high plateau, free of tropical diseases and capable of producing the crops of the temperate zone. Its possibilities are strikingly illustrated by the fact that two years ago in the Protectorate of Uganda about 100 bales of cotton were produced and last years probably less than 150 bales, whereas the estimate for this year approximates 200,000 bales." Dr. Jones has just completed a report of the commission's eight months' survey of conditions in E. Africa which was written in London. He was recently the guest of honor at an official dinner given by the British Government in recognition of the cooperation of the United States in sending the Commission to Africa to assist in formulating plans to meet the educational needs of the Native people. The investigation was made at the instance of the British Government and was actively supported by the British Colonial Office, the United States Department of Agriculture, the International Educational Board (Rockefeller) and British and American Missionary Societies. Dr. Jones predicts that before many months the American system of rural education as taught by the United States Farm Demonstrators and by Jeannes Fund teachers will be used in Africa. Representatives of the British Colonial Office are already in America visiting Negro schools and studying our methods of education for the purpose of going out to Africa and improving the lot of the massess in the rural districts of the Black Continent. "The appointment of the British Colonial Office's Advisory Committee on Native Education in Tropical Africa really begins a new era in African affairs." Dr. Jones pointed out. "This committee has already given fresh significance to educational undertakings for the African people. Other Colonial Powers will undoubtedly follow Great Britain in this direction. "The Commission found the hoi- lief current that education, as generally understood, is usually a de- corative process unrelated to the life and needs of primitive peo- ple. A pasting popular of travel Atlanta Defeats Howard In Debate Atlanta, Ga., April 28.—Atlanta University defeated Howard University in the sixth dual debate between these two institutions.

Brady and William Plant, while Atlanta defended the negative, being represented by F. A. Walker and Joseph A. Pierce. The win over Howard tonight makes the third consecutive victory over their rivals, and piles up a total of five victories for Atlanta out of the six contests in which the two schools have engaged.

BOY BLOWN TO DEATH Glencoe, Ill.—Walking on the bluff above Lake Michigan during a storm, 6-year-old Charles Rees was blown into the water and drowned. ers to and from Africa is the exchANGE of jokes and ridicule concerning the "mission boys" who are said to represent the futility and harm of educating Natives away from "their place" in the colonial scheme arranged by Western civilization for the Africans. Careful inquiry into the origin of these antagonistic attitudes reveals a lamentable ignorance of an education related to the simple needs even of primitive people. To avoid the appearance either of pedantry or scientific abstraction, these necessities of sound community life are called the 'simples' of education. They are first, sanitation and health; second, agriculture and simple industry; third, the decencies and safety of the home; and fourth, healthful recreation. Nowhere has the Commission found a difference of opinion as to the importance of these four 'simples' as the objectives of educational endowers. The great lessons of history, science, art, and literature are, however, as essential to Native African leadership as to the leadership of the people of any other continent, and the educational system must provide for the training of both—the masses of the people and Native leadership. "The ordinary impression is that the Government is to rule, the settlers and traders are to exploit, the missions are to save and the Native people are to be governed, to be exploited and to be saved. There is enough truth in this statement to warrant the suggestion that sound government, sound economics and sound religion require a recognition of the principle that it is better to work with a people than merely for them. The progressive colonies are giving increasing emphasis to the contribution of the Native people and their customs. "The future of one of the great primary races is at stake. In speaking of education we are thinking of all the helpful influences which may assist the peoples of Africa to realize their highest possibilities and achieve a full and worthy manhood and womanhood. Blind toleration of oppression is not a cure for anything. There is no hope in the dogmas of superiorities based on unfounded traditions. There is no assurance in the claim of present equalities, however emphatically announced by the sympathetic or idealistic." WINDSOR Windsor, N.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Putting Over A address. Encourag were made by Dr. Sput N. W. Britto Splendid Program M. MRS. KATIE ASKEW HARTI County Superviso: Hertford County Negro Schools. HERTFORD COUNTY COMMENCEMENT GRAND SUCCESS Success Of Event Surpassed All Previous Years; Supervisor of Colored Schools Wields Great Influence. Wilson, N. C.—The county commencement held April 22nd at Hertford County Training School was a record-breaking success. The program started at 10:30 a.m. The school auditorium was crowded long before the program began. Every available space was taken, and then an eager multitude surged at the door seeking entrance. The county commencement at Winton is becoming very much like the regular school commencement when it comes to attendance. Mrs. Katie Askew Hart, county supervisor of Hertford County Negro Schools is putting over a splendid program. Before her appointment as county supervisor there was no such a thing as a county commencement among the Negroes in Hertford County. This is the third time Mrs. Hart has attempted to hold a county commencement. It is constantly growing in interest. Highly Respected Mrs. Hart has won the respect of some of the best white people in the county. At one time she was a private teacher for a white child of wealthy parents of this county. When Mrs. Hart was applying for the position which she now holds with honor, Mrs. J. D. Bridger, wife of Lawyer Bridger of Winton, made the following statement concerning her to the county superintendent: "Mr. N. W. Britton, Winton, N. C. Dear Sid; it gives my husband and myself great pleasure to recommend Mrs. Katie Askew Hart as a teacher, as well as a leader among her people. We have known of her work in the Brown School District for several years and it has been of such high character; as to elicit the respect and admiration not only of the people of her own race but the white people as well. "We feel that Hefford County would be very fortunate in having her as supervisor of the colored schools." Mrs. Hart's earnest conviction is that every child should be taught to make a living with his hands. A large number of schools brought up exhibits which act shows that the schools are trying to co-operate with their supervisor. Among the schools that brought outstanding exhibits mention is made of the following: Mt. Sinai Millneck, Courthouse, Murfreesboro, Mapleton, Brown, Pleasant Plains, Cotton, Union, Vauxhown, Mesola, Lincoln, Grove, Catherine Hayes, Mt. Clair, Philippi, Aschertown and Newsome Grove Mrs. Hart succeeded in securing real prize this year. The first prize of $8,000, for the best educational exhibit was given by the Merchants and Farmers Bank, of Winton. A large United States flag for the best industrial exhibit was given by Lawyer, and Mrs. R. C. Bridger, as a first prize. Other prizes were given by Messrs. E. L. Jenkins and Sons, Shaw Brothers and the Bank of Winton, Winton, N. C. We are very grateful to these friends. The prizes were awarded as follows: First prize, for the best educational exhibit went to Murfreesboro Graded School, Rev. G. T. Rouson, principal; the second prize went to Union Graded School, Rev. J. C. Melton, principal; the first prize for the best industrial exhibit went to Union Graded School; the second prize to Mapleton School; the prize for the best recitation was awarded to Vaughntown; and the prize for the best composition on "The Benefit of Rosenwald Schools to Negroes" was awarded to Catherine Haynes School. With such sulendid co-operation, Mrs. Hart is bound to succeed. The wise decision of the Board of Education, that the supervisor should place teachers has already meant better work in Negro schools in Hertford County. Mr. G. H. Ferguson of the State Department of Public Instruction was present at the county commencement and gave a very good address. Encouraging remarks were made by Dr. C. S. Brown, Supt. N. W. Britton was present and spoke to the 18 seventh grade graduates. He impressed upon them the importance of going to high school. Thus passed into history the best of the three county commencements held during the time Mrs. Hert has served as county supervisor. 5th Annual Banquet The Iota Chapter Phi Beta Sigma Br WM. L. GREENE Raleigh, N. C.—Each year as the verge of spring creeps forth to bless the earth with a welcome fragrance, the life of the Shaw community is brightened by the efforts of the social chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity to bring bits of culture to the service of its friends. Of the many pleasing features, including the Frederick Douglass Memorial Program Clean Speech Week, and the Spring Outing, the Annual Banquet is the crowning effort. The banquet this year was held on Friday evening, April 17, in the University dining hall] following the University week of spiritual revival. That the occasion served as a fitting summary of the joyous week is agreed by all attending the affair. Long ere it rained, there had assembled in the University chapel some more than four score happy hearts, exchanging greeting and handclasps on the bare plane of Mutual expectations. There we greeted from outside our city: Brothers C. W, Furlonge, M. D., of Smithfield; C. B. Cordington, M. D., of Dunn, and their wives, also Miss Tessie Anderson, of Oxford, and Miss Ida Cogdell, of Fayetteville—thanks to brothers, Ballard and Fowler, respectively. Eight-thirty o'clock came in a brief half hour and called the gay couples down labyrinths to the dining hall to feast their eyes and palate and ears on flowers, galore, and capon surrounded with courses of rich simplicity and tempting flavor; and music with anecdotes, annotations, and speeches between strains. Prof. Brown, of the department of mathematics at Johnson C. Smith University, sang beautifully, "Invictus," with ample encore. The fraternity orchestra played several selections at intervals, and the chapter quartette finally introduced the new waltz sensation "All Alone" in low and dreamy strains of four-throated harmony. Annovations given by Brother G. W. Johnson gave a social value to the proverbial lazy man. Bro. L. E. McCauley, M. D., "Annotated" on reaching the top by conscious and superior power and very impressive and inspiring impromptu speeches were made by President J. I. Peacock, Dean W. S. Turner, Prof. B. J. Brawley and Mrs. L. T. Delaney. Yet one interesting and prophetic song we mention last. Brother R. A. Thornton, Professor of Physics at Shaw sang, "I'll Forget You", so well interpreted and so well expressing the true feeling of the poem that we think he had in his heart, and eye's range, a good and wholesome reason, to inspire his song. Whether this year's was a bigger and better banquet is a matter for the association of toastmasters to decide. Some features, such as arranging the tables in the shape of the Greek letter and posting all stregatic spots with flowers, palms, and ferns, we have seen and admired before. But one new feature, which savored o f lipid and embraced beauty in tooth, was two little flowered canopied booths in the vestibule occupied by little Master Chas, R. Frazer jr., and his little sister, Eva, passing the benighted White Carnation to lady and gentleman as they entered the hall of feasting. There was more than ever of music and more of our friends were present; more joy expressed, and that is the test as to whether this year's was a bigger and better banquet.

It will be the first institution of its kind in the South. The building which is made possible by the efforts of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Episcopal Church as a memorial to the late Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, Bishop of Mississippi, and for many years presiding bishop of the church, is designated to meet the long-existing need for a school conducted under church auspices where colored women may receive adequate training in the work greatly needed in the church's mission of the South.

Our church financiering which used to be very ragged has been greatly systematized of late years, ‘The budget system has heen adopted and there is usually a good surplus at the ond of the year, and the extension and pension features of the work have steadily grown in importance, This was shown to be the case when the Extension Board and the Financial Board of the A. M, E, Chureh met in Washington recently. What « wonderful man Mr. Julius Rosen wald is! He spent millions of dollars in helping to provide good rural schools for Afvo-Americans in the South, to which he has not confined his xifts, and in that way brought the sunshine of hope to millions of hlack children. During Founder's Week at ‘Tuskegee Institute, Mr. and Mrs, Rosenwald distributed a gift of nearly $10,000 among the teachers of the Institute. ‘That was a real henefaction, as our teachers as we all keow are wofully underpaid in all uf our sehools, Vice President Charles G. Dawes, who woke up the Senate when he first appeared as its presiding: officer, March 4, by a pre- meditated attack on the antiquated rules which serve re useful purpose and which have heen used for very bad purposes in the past, especially in preventing legislation intended to safeguard the Constitutional rights of the Afro-American people, continues to stir up the people of the country in public addresses aw radio broadeasts, against the antiquated system. Of course the solemn Senators, who imagine they are a law unto themselves, are greatly offended in Vico President Dawes, and threaten to “eat him dead,” so- cislly aid otherwise, ny far as they ean. ‘The best people of Norfolk will render all possible assistance lo the success of the movement to gather the sinners and back- sliders into the churches, the spiritual move- ment being inspired by the pastors of the: city, Spiritual revivals are always nee- essary and gond as can offset to the immoral and criminal revivals which are sleepless and tireless and always in full swing among ws, The jails and penitentiaries are not filled with church members but with those who are not, “The law is hardly made for a Just man,” said Paul. Society contains so many unjust, immoral and criminal mem. hers as uften ta threaten its life, So, then, back up the united church movement to bring the wayward into the church. Dr. Dudley's Successor Tt is going to be a difficult matter to find a man tw suceced Dr, James B, Dudley as principal of the Agricultural and ‘Technical College, at Greenshora, N.C, who will ex. nelly fit in. The wonderful serowth of pub- lie interest in Afro-American eduention in North Carolina of late years is graphically shown in a comprehensive survey published in the March Success magazine, and inv most of this growth Dr, Dudley had a direct and important part. He helped to show the people of North Carolina, along with others, that it pays to educate the Negro as well as all of the people of the Statezand that was a great and necessary service, to which the people of the State through the State Board of Education and the legislature responded most sympathetically and helpfully. It stands to reason, therefore, that when a man of the high character and service of Dr, Dudley is taken from the work by death there should be widespread interest in his successor, This. prevailing sentiment. has heen sufficiently voiced by the members of the Alumni of the College, ax published in full in the Joursat axn Guine of April’ 18. ‘They want a_man who possesses as many of the rate qualities of an educator and leader as Dr. Dudley possessed, and they very wisely desive the college to remain primarily devoted to agriculture and mechanics. 1t is to he hoped for the guod of the col- loge and those it has served so splendidly that a man Will be selected to suecced Dr. Dudley who will fll all of the requirements < the delicate and exacting work. Editorial Page of 1 Democrats Failed to Get Together 7 On Jefferson Day We are all interested in the fortunes of the Democratic party, especially here in the South, because however the swing of the pendulum the Democrats manage to control the administration of public affairs, and that has often been done in utter disregard | ‘and contempt of the Constitutional rights | of the minority of the citizenship. ‘The ma- | jority which does not respect the rights of - the minority is bound always to come upon a time when it will not respect its own | rights, and thus suffer great Joss of self-de- - termination and self-restraint in the admin- istration of ity own public affairs ax well as those of the minority. ‘That this has been the tendency in the Southern States sinee the Reconstruction period, and, that it is largely the tendency now, we all know. ‘The suggestion of Mr. Franklin D, Roose- velt thal the Democrats get together and reach some understanding was promptly met by the obtrusion of the wide-open split be- tween the North and parts of the West and the South at the National Democratic con- vention in New York, in June last. ‘Then William Jennings Bryan and his brother came along with the suggestion that the Southern and Western Democrats form an alliance against the Eastern Demoerats, be- tween whom there is but little in common in civil and economic policy; but the sug- estion raised a ygret big storm, which stil darkens the political heavens. + The Jefferson Day dinners, which are al- ways annual features, had to be cancelled because of the warring and sectional Dem- acratic clashes, no Democrats of National importance caring to appear among the speakers, ‘The Eastern Democrats held a meeting in New York City but no construc- tive poliey came out of it. ‘There are all sorts of indications Uhat by the time the next Presidential election comes around existing political organizations will be in a badly shattered condition, as they were on the slave issues in 1856-60, and any sort of new things may be sprung upon the peaple, whose political discontent is in the very roots of party organizations. It is the business of Afro-Americans to keep lose watch on the tendencies of parties, as their interests are fatefully affected, as are those of other groups, by party action. It is our misfortune that we do not take the active interest in polities that we should. Jews Return To Palestine Dr. Chaim Weizminn, head of the World Monist Organization, has devoted himself for several years to the restoration of the Jewish race in Palestine. He reports en- couraging progress; he mentions schools, universities and commerce, also the return of the Hebrew language, which has been made imperative. ‘Thousands of Jews are moving back to the old homeland. We notice, however that most of these Jows are coming from Russia and other places where they have heen bitterly perse- cuted. The persecution in Russia has ceased since the Bolshevist revolution but the famine and general disorganization is almost as had. Jews ean be induced lo mi- grate from Poland and Hungary, where they aire worse treated than ever.

Just now the Prince of Wales is on a tour of Africa and South America. He has had a wonderful reception from the Native subjects in British Africa. They have stepped upon each other's heels and jammed cach other in the ep2n spaces to do him hon- or, to deliver to him their petitions, and to show off for his admiration the rich and gorgeous clothing of the chiefs, the colorful enthusiasm of the multitude and the dash- Norfolk Journal and Guide Saturday, May 2 1925 ing and thrilling feats of the cavalry, It has all been rich reading in the daily news- papers, One powerful chief told the Prince that “ We are black and ignorant, but ve axe Englishmen.” The Prince of Wales has been made to understand by the Natives of British Africa he has come in touch with that they are good and loyal subjects. Have the Natives un- burdened themselves candidly? We doubt it, A careful reading of the newspapers that reach us out of British Africa show unmistakably that the Natives, who are de- nied nearly all of the henefits of citizenship, who are taxed the limit without their con- sent, and who have no control whatever over their economic values,—their time and labor and hours of relaxation,— are wonderfully restless and loud in ‘their protest against British rufe and injustice. Wonderful things are happening on the Continent of Africa, but they are happening and being guided by the European white man, who is developing all of the resources of the rich country for his benefit, and the Continent is fabulously rich. ‘Thus far the black man is no more getting his share of the development than the Indian got his in the development of the Americas, and unless there is a mighty change in the present ten- dency, when it is all over, the Native Af- rican will occupy no better position in his own country than the Indians of America now occupy in theirs. It is not a cheerful outlook, but it is the outlook. Japanese Farmers Move Southward The white farmers of nine counties in Georgia are short of labor and do not know what to do about it; the farmers of the Mississippi Valley, especially those of Mis- sissippi and Arkansas, have been hard hit by the migrant movement, and have them- selves to blame. They are hard and ex- acting taskmasters, taking most. and leaving litule for the warkers, and shooting them to death and imprisoning and hanging them, as in the Elaine outrage in Philips county, _when they protested against hard conditions of living and bad systems of payment for services and produce. The story comes out of California that a movement ix on foot to colunize 50,000 Japanese farmers in Arkansas and Missis- sippi, and that a giant land corporation will finanee the undertaking. Perhaps, If the colonization should succeed, as the Japanese are crowded oul of California want work and the land owners of the two states want work- cers, the latter are going to find that the Jap- anese will prove a real problem, with nothing of the characteristics of the Negro problem, Why? Because the average Japanese is an educated person; he is very sensitive as to his rights and feclings and resents insult and injustices at once; he docs not like to work for others and stves his money and be- gins business on his own account as soon as he can; and he is clannish and sticks to his own and will fight, all for one whenever therd is oceusion. How far could a Southern white planter get with that sort of brown man, for whom he has no more respeet than he has for a black man? Not far, And the Japanese has a very strong government at his back wherever he may be. That is much. The South has the best labor force in the world, for the South, in its Negro work- ers, and it should learn how to keep it. We think it is learning a little bit. ‘The row in the Navy Department over the relative value in war of warships and air service has given the air service a very great boost. An far as we are concerned, we have no disposition whatever to trust ourselves to the airplane or submarine serv- ice. We even prefer land to water service, | Spirit of the Press Might Have Caused a Tragedy i tata eons A recent special from Bristol, says that fear of whipping for being late at school here caused an Jt-year-old girl to tell a story of being attacked by a Negro, ac- cording to a statement made hy Chief of Police D.

What is even more serious, in the excited state of public feeling, had an arrest been made a tragedy might have resulted, a human life might have been sacrificed for an imaginary crime.

While he has traveled a fittle and gained some degree of know- ledge by association, he does not seem to have had the advantage of an early education which is the possession of so many West Indians who come to this coun- try.

It is the first of a series of monographs dealing with a neglected phase of Negro his- tory. Mr. Taylor is a young man, under thirty, who is an investi- gator for the Association for the Study of Negra Life and His- tory. He treats his interesting subject in a serious, scientific style. An abundance of foot- notes shows evidence of very careful and painstaking re- search. The period of Reconstrue- tion has brought forth so many biased records, that it ha’ heen difficult for the casual student to get a real understanding of the actual events, 41 this case educa- tional, religious, social, economic and political forees at work dur- ing this eritical period in Amer- ican history are all strikingly portrayed in a liberal minded way. It was surprising to néte that Negroes at one time at- tended the State University of South Carolina. This state of affairs did not last long, how- ever, for a group of lower caste whites soon came into power and succeeded not only in eliminating Negroes from polities, but caused the retirement of the aristocrats of the former slave holding class, For teachers and others inter ested in a scientific studysof ‘an (Copyright 1924 by.A.

Not only Abraham and Moses, but all other of the old testament characters of note were represented as Negroid among the Palestinian Jews. In his Songs, Solomon speaks of himself as being black, and he evidently was, because black and brown skinned people were pre- dominant throughout the coun- tries of Acia and Africa, In us- ing the term “Negro” one must. understand that in the American sense it includes everything black to octoroon. However, the American balks when this is ap- plied anywhere except in the United States, important subject, the book will undoubtedly fill a long felt need. —Hortense THomPson Se | Health Notes | | cca | — The Cost In Health It is hard to measure the cost of venereal “diseases in money. Jt is even more difficult to give an accurate idea of the damage they do when that damage is to be defined in terms of individual and national health. In a prev- ious article of this series, it was said that the money cost of venereal diseases for six years ending with 1924 amounted to a minimum charge of $25. for ev- “ery man, woman and child in the country. Any attempt to ex- plain the cost in health, however, is hampered by the absence of such definite units of measure. ment as the recognized values represented by dollars and cents. And yet it may safely be said that injury to health is the worst effect of syphilis, gonorrhea and chaneroid, for it is from this ill- health that the economic burdens of these diseases largely arise, We have noticed that the money cost of venereal disease falls without favor upon the sick and well, the rich and poor, the innocent and the guilty. So, too do syphilis and gonorrhea take their toll in health from all who became infected and who, thru ignorance or foolhardy bravado, neglect to put themselves under the eare of a-competent phy- sician or an official public elinic, In all cases, venereal disenses will pave the way for physical degeneration and. suffering, un- Jess they are promptly checked by extended treatment under reputable medical or clinical care. ‘The old notion that gonorrhea is ito worse than a’bad cold has been’ routed by an onslaught of facts. Gonorrhea may cause blindness or it may lead to gon- orrhcal rheumatism, which in turn, may cause heart disease. _Dr. John H, Stokes of the Mayo Clinic is responsible for the statement that one-third of the blindriess in asylums, and one- half of the blindness dating from birth, is due to gonorrhea of the eye. An analysis of the statis- tics of the Pennsylvania Insti- tute for the Blind shows 1,020 cases of blindness admitted to the school in 30 years. Out of this total, 267 cases, or 26 per cent, were due to gonorrheal infection. It has been estimated that there are at least 20,000 cases of blind- ness from this cause in the United States. The tragedy of it all is that most of these cases date from birth. Cold statistics cannot convey the immensity of the injustice. As Stokes says, “One has to see one of these little children rocking back and forth in a railed chair, and wateh the baby groping about on the floor, gurgling as it feels your shoe strings, really to know in the soul of him what gonorrhea means.” Old Sport Protests ‘Against Tendency of Law Makers ee So eae EE NT ar gee ee peal went forth: “Oh, Woodman spare that tree” to the time when Mr. Andrew Volstead slipped his bill over the people, that incent- ive for America's latest indus- try—bootlegging, legislators, National, State and Municipal have vied with each other to see who could make the biggest cork- serew to uncork the joys from our lives. Each succeeding leg- islature works overtime to pass laws to repeal, amend or aug- ment those of its predecessors, until today we stumble upon a new law each morning. Once our country was considered law- abiding, now it is law-ridden, Once it was a land of law, now it's one of lawlessness. No leg- islator is satisfied until he fath- ers some measure destined to snatch away more of our joys. Instead of the old fashioned sa- loon with its polished mirrors, ‘counters and cuspidors—we have to sneak into a bootblack parlor to get a “shine” or a poolroom to play a “game” in order to get anip from the jug that sears, in- stead of the cup that cheers. In- stead of the brass cuspidors we are compelled to expectorate in Rumford yeast powder box filled with sawdust. This is not right. Things are veally on the bum. Not satis- fied with robbing us of other Joys, our beloved City Daddies have voted to take another of our outdoor sports from us as they have voted to allow the Virginia Railway and Power Company to swallow our jitneys. When will our law makers cease trifling with our dearest possessions? ‘The end docs not seem near. No ‘one but a jitney patron, espec- ially on the Church and 18th Street route can fully appreciate what joy there is in the great outdoor sport of jitney riding What ‘have the aforesaid City Daddies to offer as a substitute for the fat old Indy or gentleman lurching and falling into some- body’s lap, to whom’ they have never been introduced? The aforesaid route on Chapel street between Princess Anne Road and Washington Avenue on account of the fine conerete pavement not orily provides sport but exercise, and if,Walter Camp had ridden between the aforesaid points, he no doubt would have recom- mended this route instead of his famous “Daily Dozen.” And that is not all. What but a heartless body would take from us the in- nocent game of “stepping on corns?” As one who played ball in Staylor's lot, and who with tear- ful eyes has seen the passing of the old swimming hole in Brambleton; who has seen his fishing haunts ruined, not by gassing fish, but oiling them, I raise a feeble, yet piercing ery as did that patriot who cried “Oh, woodman spare that tree” and protest again, again and yet again; “Oh, Council spare the Jitney!” Council, council spare that bus, ‘Touch not a single route!
