The Norman sank as it was returning from Cow Island with a party of engineers here attending the convention of the Mid-South Association of Engineers. It was moving along smoothly, according to survivors, when it suddenly began rocking from side to side. This continued perhaps five minutes, when it careened far over and failed to recover. Three minutes later the vessel was virtually gone from sight. At the time the Norman capsized, Lea happened along in a motor boat. The passengers on the ill-fated vessel had scarcely had time to adjust life preservers before those who had not jumped into the river, were thrown overboard and Lea found them all struggling for bits of debris that would make life-saving rafts. He carefully maneuvered his boat among the people in the water, rescuing the women first and carrying them ashore. Carefully Maneuvers Boat Capt. Fenton of the Norman said afterwards: "Many more would have perished out for the fact that Tom Lea, a Negro, came along in a boat. Lea saved the lives of at least 35 persons. Major Connolly, myself, and two other men, were the farthest down the river and the last persons rescued. Lea landed all of us on a sandbar." W. W. DeBerard, a Chicago engineer and editor, tells of the providential appearance of Lea and his motor boat, and of how it cruised back and forth among the floating survivors, carrying them ashore. "To Tom Lea," he says, "probably 90 per cent of the survivors owe their lives." ENTER NORMAL SCHOOL AT E. CITY MAKE K.K.K.

NUMBER OF VARIED AND ODD MISHAPS OCCUR IN RICHMOND Boy Knocked Unconscious With Baseball Bat; Reckless Driver Snaps Off Fire Plug. Kichmond, Va., May 15—Many and varied are the accidents that happen in the course of a day the seriousness of which does not always depend upon how or why a thing happens, as in the case of a group of small boys playing baseball in the yard of the Moore St. School Friday evening, when one boy was knocked unconscious by being struck by a bat accidentally turned loose by the batter while striking at the ball. The child was treated by the ambulance doctor and taken to the St. Philips Hospital where he is reported to be doing nicely. Purely an unavoidable accident. Saturday night a reckless driver of an automobile ran into a fire plug at the corner of Second and Leigh Streets, snapping it off short, close to the ground. The automobile was badly damaged, but no one was hurt, though excitement prevailed for a while when a stream of water almost the size of a man's body gushed up out of the ground about ten feet high for more than an hour. There was weeping and wailing and possibly gnashing of teeth among several mothers a few days ago when a wagon loaded with trash and with five little boys beating a ride on it backed over the dump on St. Peter Street, carrying boys, wagon, horses, trash and driver down the embankment more than a hundred feet deep, the wagon going first dragging the horses behind. Every one escaped without a scratch. Plan Prize For Racial Peacemaker (By Associated Negro Press.) New York, N.

LEADERS ARE TOLD ALL WORKERS HAVE COMMON INTEREST LEADERS ARE TOLD ALL WORKERS HAVE COMMON INTEREST Executive Council American Federation of Labor Hears T. Arnold Hill Assail Policy Of Discrimination. ASK FEASIBLE PROGRAM AND DEMOCRATIC STAND (Special to Journal and Guide) New York, May 15—"The Negro must know that he is wanted within the ranks of the labor movement and efforts must be employed to get him in. The recalcitrant trade organizations must be shown the folly of their untenable position of segregation and discrimination." With this as the keynote of his remarks, T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League addressed the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor in Washington on Thursday, last. The newly elected membership of the Council, consisting of ten heads of internationals, were present. Calling attention to the inseparability of the interest of white and colored workers, Mr. Hill said: "Whatever is fair and profitable for our nation's workers is fair and profitable for Negro workers. What injures one injures the other. If white men must work for a livable wage, then Negroes must have the same livable wage. If white men receive high wages and Negroes do not, then sooner or later no one will. What is true of wages is equally true of all the benefits which labor is now receiving and may hereafter acquire." Strike Breakers When told by members of the Council that the American Federation of Labor had for forty years declared equality within the ranks of the labor movement, Mr. Hill reminded them that organized labor claims that the Negroes broke the Steel Strike and would break others as they accumulate strength and confidence, unless they were made participants within labor's ranks. Continuing he said, "More than 18 per cent of the colored workers were engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits in 1920 as compared with 12.6 in 1910 and in Chicago alone it is estimated that industrial workers increased from 27,000 in 1910 to 70,000 in 1920." The purpose of Mr. Hill's visit was to ask that the American Federation of Labor join with the League in formulating a workable program that would insure confidence in the integrity of the labor leaders and more democratic stand on the part of labor organizations. This is one of the main objects of the National Urban League's new Department of Industrial Relations which Mr. Hill heads.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Resent Compulsory Physical Training And Military Drills President Durkee Hissed Down When He Attempts To Make Speech—Strikers Present New Demands—Charge Incompetency. Washington, D. C., May 15—Nearly 400 students of Howard University, after a two-hour meeting in the chapel Thursday afternoon, May 7, voted to go on strike against compulsory physical training and military drills, and, in a demonstration featured by a band, placards, cheering and singing, marched about the campus. Seniors are exempted from compulsory training, and those in the schools of education, liberal arts, applied sciences and commerce were the dissenters. The strike is aimed at President J. Stanley Durkee, who is held responsible for the rule they object to. Edward Lovett, an officer of the Student Council, explained what irked the students was the edict that if they missed or "cut" twenty classes in either the physical education or R. O. T. C., routine, they stood liable to suspension or expulsion. Five students have been dismissed under this rule. The student strikers demand the reinstatement of the ousted five, as well as abolition of the rule. Such signs are seen as "What is this going to be—an army or a university?" COOLIDGE O.

Brown, figured most At the meeting in the Lincoln Theater yesterday afternoon the Student Council of Howard University adopted four additional demands to be sent to President Durkee in behalf of the striking students. President Durkee returned from Rochester, N. Y., Saturday, but did not open his office until yesterday. He was greeted on his return with placards placed over the university campus indicating the grievances of the student body. The student body asks in their additional demands that all students who were on strike be reinstated without penalty, and a reduction in all branches of compulsory physical education be reduced to two years; also that the council control all social activities of the students and that there be student representation on the Academic Council. The causes which have led up to the present situation were also discussed at length. It was an enthusiastic meeting throughout. The students showed that they were not slacking a bit in their fight. The students continue to refuse to attend classes, and those few who attempted to do so were stopped by strikers. It was reported that at 11:30 today President Durkee appeared on the steps of the Main Building and tried to make a short speech, but after he had advised the students to "leave matters to him; he would see them through," his voice was completely drowned out by shouts of "show us."

C., May 15- Following the sensational episode last Tuesday night at Washington Auditorium, during which Miss Hallie Q. Brown, figured most prominently, a group of prominent colored women visited the President Friday, May 8. 12:20 p. m. the interview being arranged thru Secretary to the President, Mr. Sanders. The group consisted of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, of New York, and Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, of Kansas City, Missouri, these three ladies being directors of colored women's activities in 1924 President Cordial The President greeted them with cordiality and complemented them on their excellent work preceding last November's election. He stressed the great progress made by the race along all lines, especially in education. He remarked that fifty-thousand colored men and women were employed in Government service, including those of the Nation's Capitol and other Governmental agencies throughout the country, drawing an aggregate annual salary of $50,000,000, but, said he, the greatest progress is not being made in Government service, but in the life of the people throughout the Nation. In talking with this delegation of colored women, President Coolidge warmly commended the present efficient management of the Colored Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee which is a Government institution where a large number of colored professional men and women, including physicians, surgeons, nurses, etc., have been given recognition and complete control. He said he was happy to note that in the first Department of the Government ever placed entirely in the hands of colored people (namely, the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee) their conduct and management of the institution had proved entirely satisfactory. He said that while he has the highest appreciation for the race's efforts and accomplishments, what the race needs is more recognition of its progress and proficiency.

The teacher ven- tured the purchase of a small lot land, which is a part of the on which the present in- tion is built, and with their hands, pups and teacher be- the work of clearing the lot deerbush and the debris from streets. Soon the first pay- of five dollars for the land due and paid, the money been gathered from the sale tate pies and cakes at an ex- tirated festival. Their records that their first laundry was based under the trees, with ten fire builded of the rubbish, hanging their clothes on the have seen the lone black woman she thus appeared in the city of dire poverty all about her, she gathered her first class into her cabin and calling for aid him whom she fully believed chosen her for that work; and weary and hungry, going in streets of the city from door door, asking for supplies for all she and her school, one would said she had been called toeless task. But Mary McBethune had been the receiver vision which had made an inside impression upon her soul she must follow that vision it led. therefore, the friends began to multiply necessary supplies of various items were at hand while applications for membership in the school being received and classes in the industries were organized, first or introductory stage of enterprise was realized. Volunteer and solicited aid accepted and preparations made for the necessary percent incorporation of the school, a board of trustees was applied and in 1905 a legal charter obtained with the title, The Omaha Normal and Industrial Institute. Mrs. Bethune had her recognition and was dolphus Bowden, Letter Carries, Dies After Long Illness Adolph Bowden, 124 Charlotte street, died at his late residence Wednesday morning, at 1:10 clock following on illness of more than four years. Mr. Bowden was merely a letter carrier of the old post office, where he served for 33 years, being one of the old mailmeners of the postal service this city. He was one of the best known citizens of Norfolk, enjoying a side circle of acquaintances, the intimate friendship of a large U duly elected by the trustees as president of the institute. Thus a prestige of much importance had been gained, Men and women of reputation were recognizing with favor both the president and her education scheme. The late Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, who was always alert for new enterprises made himself acquainted with the fact that a black woman of the South had by her own initiative organized a school in the interests of the race, gave to the public this econiom: "The Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute is doing very real and very constructive work. It draws its pupils from the ranks of our colored Americans of the South where education is desperately needed. The education given at the school under the able and self-sacrificing leadership of Mrs. Bethune is sound mentally and morally. The students when they leave are better Americans every day. The work of the Daytona Industrial Institute is a patriotic work of the first order." A volume might be written in portrayal of the unparalleled work accomplished during the twenty years of the history of this institution. Let it be remembered that President Bethune is a Christian lady of culture and refinement, so by prayer and sagacious planning, endless solicitations by correspondence and visitations to many people reputed to be philanthropic and generous, she has achieved success where few would have made an attempt. Her work began with five little girls gathered from the streets from a rude, wild crowd in a rented four-room cabin in 1904. At the close of 1924 there is an Institute established on twenty-seven acres of land, with eight buildings constructed of stone, bricks and wood valued by competent judges to be worth five hundred thousand dollars. The school has in regular attendance three hundred seventy-five pupils under the instruction of thirty-five competent instructors. number of the most influential local citizens and the highest respect of the entire community.

Prof. Reynolds (Continued from Page One) dered the position was not apprised of his decision not to accept it until such was announced in the Baltimore paper. According to the Afro, Mr. Reynolds wired his decision to that newspaper. Principal Reynolds, however, in discussing the situation with the Journal and Guide representative stated that this determination to remain in the Norfolk School system was prompted by urgents of local cities. He expressed no apprehension about lack of cooperation had been gone to Baltimore, nor did he intimate that he had been apprised of any opposition to him there, such as was intimated in the Afro article. Mr. Reynold friends here are convinced that if there was any opposition to his having the position in Baltimore, it was inspired purely by local sentiment—that is the people behind the opposition may have resented having an outside man being placed over men whom they believed entirely competent for the job.

JOHNSON, JR. A revue of the Boys' and Girls' stunt night was staged at Booker Washington high school last Friday night in the school's auditorium. In spite of the fact that the show provoked a number of laughs from the slim audience in attendance, the performance fell far short of the entertainments which were held separately. In this show, the best numbers were supposed to have been taken from the Girls' stunt night and the Boys' stunt night and staged jointly. However, a few of the best players, who performed on their respective programs were in evidence and the event lacked the pep and punch which the high school amateurs are capable of displaying. The outstanding features on the program were the 'acrobiotic stunt' and the 'skit'. The other numbers were faxed. Hilltoppers Swamp The Seasiders Hilltoppers Swamp The Seasiders By THOMAS W. YOUNG Petersburg, Va., May 9—The Seasiders of Hampton invaded Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute here today, engaged in a loose, free-for-all, cross-bat affair, and emerged on the short end of a 6-3 score. Rainy weather and a damp diamond greatly hindicapped the usual speed and brilliancy exhibited in contests between these two old time rivals. Petersbur's stellar southpaw and pitching ace, Allen, showed unusual ability and stamina when he traveled the entire route and out-dualed two of Hampton's most promising, boxmen, Fortune, and Hargrove, and offered an interesting fight to a third—Johnson by name. However, all of the Seasider's twirlers pitched a high brand of ball under odds of a bad diamond and outfield errors which proved costly to the visitors. The Seasiders threatened seriously in the seventh but the snappy mountain lads held them to one measly run. Harris and Hargrove got on base thru the hit and run route, but Ansley and Gunn each "biffed," making things look rather gloomy to the boys from beside the sca. Byrd then walloped out a swift score to score Harris. Johnson loaded the bases on an infield error, but Lambright up, but out the lights with three bumps. Johnson substituted for Hargrove whose injured shoulder began showing ill effects, pitched probably the best game for the visitors, holding Petersburg score less during the remaining three innings. Hampton's last desperate efforts aroused the Hilltopppers in the eighth round when Quinn, Harris and Hargrove registered each a hit in rapid succession. With one out and bases loaded! Anselm, Hampton's diminutive second sacker or scoring Quinn. Allen then gave Quinn a third with bases still loaded and Coward made a spectacular stop of Byrd's head on drive thru short, ending the frame at 6-3, V. N. I. J. There were few exceptionally brilliant plays of special note.

C. history was played today by the two best teams of the Association, Kittrell College and Durham State Normal at McCoulley Athletic Field, Kittrell College. The game was the hardest and most filling the season. Time after time the fans were magnetically drawn from the to tips of their toes in breathless silence as the players of each team magnificently performed their whole duties. The game was featured by the hard slugging of Vinson and the airtight fielding of Richardson of Kittrell and the continual hitting and fast running of the entire State Normal team. The batting was led by Vinson and combed a long homer over left field, double and a single. Jones assisted Ward in the seventh; Stokes assisted Vinson in the ninth.

C., April 30—Kittrell trawns Henderson to the trawns of 7-0. The game was a slow and listless affair except for a few brilliant flashes now and then, which would arouse the Kittrell rooters to their feet in great clamor. Henderson pitching staff failed to exhibit its usual splendid work not because Evans is not as good a pitcher as its record shows but because the heavy Kittrell buggers found his excellent tossing and skill like. A Henderson baseman wasanced to third and shocked Kittrell's tosser a bit but he buckled down without, even the injury of one score. Kittrell exhibited its superiority in quite a number of ways in the game. Byrd tossed the game from start to finish that made it perfectly safe for absolute victory. However, Vosbough's running one-fanded capture of Scott's deep left center fly stepped him in the lime-light. Allen pitching was scintillating.

Mitchell n This paper was conceived and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created fools the same as you and I. History has proven that they are created fools the same as you and I. History has proven that they existed in those days. Such great men as Caesar, Napoleon Mark Anthony, Marcus Garvey, R. E. Jordan (sign painter), Johnnie Boone, F. J. Thoreau and numerous others fell before the wiles or the vainer and will be tomorrow. It will be a dawn of a new day when we fail to fall before them and here is hoping that no man on the staff of the Razzaz glow, and slumber, as A. B. Moore, mildly puts it. Why should one of these hear Federal babies refrain from bumpin' a bootlegger? If somebody don't bump them off, the stuff they makes will eventually bump some of us off, no foolin'. Time has been rolling merrily along not waiting for a single soul and it is about time again for election. Those who read last May's issue of the Journal and Guide about the lecture of Hon. Joe Leary as mayor of Queen Street politicians were out in full regalia to do honor to the man who emerged victorious in the political scribble. Leary was what a hot second for the honor of the street and its virility. Stumpy Robinson and Hilton Faulks were officers of the county, and other political election with booths and everything. Hot coffee and hot dogs were served after the din and smoke of battle had died away and the election again, nothing has been heard concerning such. Probably the mayor-elect/is to serve permanently as tired of the popularity of being the mayor of such a well-owned street. --- Y MAY 16, 1925 Twenty Schools Will upate On Arm strong In Big Hampton Titu- P.

It takes only men of brains to think up this idea, and this publication reflects our own enthusiasm in the production of this paper. We say again that we not with bishlionish what progress our magazine efforts are making and believe in years to come that our names will go down in history as instructors of a medium, in which words is given to the intermost thoughts of these great men we have here on our staff. Lives of great men oft remind us That they were bigger, fool than we; For they were nuts over women The same as the men. Thus our rhyme, by which we strove hopelessly to bring forth the ever prevalent fact of things as they were, are and will be and that's that until next week. Love is likened to electricity. Both is inexplicable phenomena that nobody can explain. TIME FOR ELECTION OF QUEEN STREET MAYOR WANTED! WANTED! WANTED! Somebody to toot the horn of Geo. V. Kemp.

WHITEHEAD Russell Field, Lawrenceville, Va., May 2—St. Paul's Fourth Annual Intra-mural Track and Field Meet which was held under the direction of Mr. Hubert A. Taylor, '16, the Tigers Track and Field Mentor, was a pronounced success in all that the term implies, and a rare treat to the host of cinderpath devices who bore witness to the colorful spectacle. Thirty-seven fleety youngsters took part in the dashes and runs, while two score of rugged and brawny boys participated in the shot put, discus throw, high jump, and broad jump. Because of the wet ground and strong wind, the time was slow and the discus throw and jumping were below par. The general bearing, stamina, ability and alertness of the varsity men were encouraging. Those who covered the events from all angles predict St. Paul will make a mighty bid for several first places at the Hampton Meet on May 16th. 100 Yard Dash: Sample, Captain Banks and J. Byrd. Time 10 1-10 seconds. 220 Yard Dash: Captain Banks, Byrd and Smith. Time 25 seconds. 440 Yard Dash: Sample, Captain Banks and Patterson.

Prizes were awarded the first, second and third place winners and the victorious relay team. MOORE EXPECTED TO STAR IN MILE AT P. S. L. MEET For the last four years it has been the spinner who contributed most to record breaking in the annual triple championship track and field carnival of the Public Schools Athletic League and The Herald Tribune. Frank Hussey saw to that during his reign as P. S. A. L. champion. This year, however, is the miler who is expected to figure most prominently in the title games on May 23 at Brooklyn Athletic Feld, and his return to popularity is due to the phenominal running of Gus Moore, Negro flyer of Boys' High, mile and cross-country champion of the city. From an occasional place winner to unbeaten champion in the span between two seasons is the accomplishment of this slender, lithe-limbed Brooklyn start. Moore, during the 1923 cross-country season and the following indoor campaign, was usually one of the group that trailed home Costas Nicolaides or Garland Brown. Then in the annual games for The Herald Tribune prize in May Moore forged to the front and started the campaign that resulted in his running a mile in 4 minutes and 32 seconds last March. In the mile race last May he came from way back in the home stretch with a beautiful spurt and nosed out Garland Brown, of Newtown, the favorite for the title. Again in the cross-country races of the P. S. A. L. last fall Moore did fairly well, but it came as a big surprise when he dethroned Garland Brown for the city title in the final test. Thereafter Moore's sensational running ceased to surprise P. S. A. L. followers. During the last indoor campaign he gave convincing proof that he is one of the greatest schoolboy milers that Father Knickerbocker has produced in years. In the East he ranks second only to Bill Cox, schoolboy member last year's Olympic team. Starting in January with the De La. Salle interscholastic meet, Moore won every race in which he competed, including the P. S. A. L. indoor crown. Successively he returned 4:41 3-5, 4:44 1-5, 4:32 and 4:34 2-5—and he was rarely forced to step his best. The worth of his performances is indicated by comparing his times with the P. S. A. L. indoor record of 4:43 2-4, set in 1916 and still standing. The outdoor mark, which he will attempt to erase and which appears to be easily within his grasp, is 4:34 1-5, made by Bob Crawford in 1918. Moore should topple that record below the 4:30 mark. Moore is eighteen years old and of slight build, with the same thin, supple legs of Nurmi. He has patterned his running style after Nurmi's as closely as possible, and it has brought remarkable results. His running is all the more noteworthy, for Moore has little time for practice outside of his school hours; every night the assumes his duties as postoffice clerk, and these duties include a hike of ten miles or more after mail. Moore has not competed outdoors as yet. His start in defense of his mile championship will see him in action on the cinderpath for the first time since his great running indoors. If he runs to form New York will see a "record mile" in schoolboy circles. TennisMatch Won By The Va. N. & I. I. BY J. L. WHITEHEAD Lawrenceville, Va., May 9—Virginia Normal beat St. Paul at tennis on the fast last court here to day in both the singles and the doubles matches. The visitors played a unique brand of tennis and showed superiority in experience, endurance, judgment, strokes and service. Peters did the best playing for St. Paul. In the singles Baker won from Peters 6-1, 9-11-6-1; and Christian defended Bannister 6-2, 6-0. Christian and Baker took Peters and Amis into camp in the doubles 6-0, 6-2. St. Paul and Virginia Normal will probably oppose each other at the Second Annual C. I. A. A. Tennis Tournament at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., on Saturday, May 23.

SAYS CHRISTIANITY MAKES STRONGEST APPEAL TO WORLD Rector Of Grace Church Portrays The State Toward Which Humanity Is Constantly Striving. The usual enthusiasm was manifested last Sunday at Grace P. E. Church. The church was comfortably filled at the 11 o'clock service and the congregation entered heartily into the worship Rev. Harris preached a very strong and helpful sermon on the "Christian Ideal and Motive," taking his text from Matt. 5:48 "Ye shall therefore be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect." He began by saying that perfection is not the characteristic of many things with which we have to do. Machinery is continually being improved from one stage to another. The telephone and radio, although marvelous inventions, are not yet perfect. The electric light has passed thru and is still passing thru a process of change. When you come to man, no proof is needed to see that he is for from perfection. Christianity's Appeal The strength of the appeal that Christianity makes, rests first of all in the fact that it makes the highest appeal that has yet been given to man. 'You shall therefore be perfect.' The Old Testament revelation was partial, incomplete and Seneca admits it. When Seneca advised his young friends Lucilius to select some noble character like Cato or Scipio to emulate, he admits the fundamental weakness of all other systems which have attracted the minds of men. The weakness which Seneca thus admits is Christianity's strength from the highest ideal, it has also the Person who has lived the life of conformity to that ideal. Is it possible for man in his present state of sin to attain such an ideal? If not then Christianity is a dream. When we speak of God the Father of man, it means more than saying that He is the Creator. It means He has endowed men with likeness and similarity of character and nature. When you see love in men it is the same thing as love in God. The same thing is true of mercy. Man has the genus of the nature of God. That is what the incarnation reveals. The man Christ Jesus lives the life of man to perfection, showing us that attainment of ideal is possible. You are to strive after that state because it is God-like, 'because your Heavenly Father is perfect.' It is acting from the wrong motive to do good hoping for a reward. It is true, nevertheless that we shall be rewarded, but I deny that the reward is the motive. That was the question the devil is made to ask God in the care of Job 'Does Job serve God for naught?' 'Love your enemies and do good, hoping for nothing,' that is the spirit of Christ. Christianity's Ideals If Christianity gives us the highest ideal and gives us the personification of that ideal, it is possible of attainment. What is our duty? Follow the words of Paul: 'Not that I have already obtained or am already made perfect, but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.' Next Sunday morning Rev. Harris expects to preach an educational sermon in the interest of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity "Go to High School, Go to College" Campaign. QUEEN ST. BAPTIST CHURCH A packed house greeted Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D., Sunday at 11 o'clock at Queen Street Baptist Church, when Mothers' Day was fittingly observed. In his sermon Rev. Williams called attention of the congregation to the words of Christ to his Disciple John, while He was on the cross, "Behold My Mother." The minister reviewed the part mothers have played in moulding and shaping the lives of great men like Garfield, Lincoln, Henry Ward Beecher and other leaders of Biblical and secular history. With deep feeling of emotion he was encouraged and consoled by his mother in the years before he was married. "The races or nations rise just so high as the thoughtfulness and purity of its motherhood. It is the mothers who shape the destinies of men who rule the world," said Rev. Williams. The pastor made a plea to the mothers of today to go back to the old landmarks and properly rear their children instead of participating in politics and other ulterior organizations which carry them from home and the loving care of their boys and girls. He spoke of the fact that so many children feel that it matters not what kind of life they lead, or what their parents do for them, they do because they are compelled to do it, and only a few children of today are thankful to their parents for what is done for them. Mothers' Day should recall to our minds her sleepless nights, her hunger and thirst, her self-denial for us, and cause us to resolve that we shall do all we can for her while she is in this life" were the concluding thoughts of the speaker. If this is done, he declared, we will be no less thoughtful of our mothers than was our Savior, when he looked down from the cross and said, "Behold My Mother." Following the close of the sermon three persons were converted. The choir rendered very choice music for the services. JOHN WESLEY M. E. CHURCH The Sunday school was well attended and the lesson by the pastor from the subject: "The Record Breaking Mother," Samuel 1:28. At 3 o'clock the Ladies' Aid Society rendered a musical program, after which Rev. Cora Jones made an address. Monday night the Dramatic Club presented its first play entitled, "Thirty Years of Freedom," with which the congregation was well pleased. 33 Years As A School Supervisor For the thirty-th term Lieut James is elected superintendent, A. M. E. Sunday School of officers held MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services Sunday were excellent in every way. The early morning prayer meeting was one that will long be remembered. A large number was present at the Sunday school. Banner was won by the Adult Class. At 11:30 the pastor preached an able sermon on "Behold, Thy Mother." At 3:30 p. m., the pastor and members of Monumental A. M. E. Church worshiped at Mt. Lebanon. B. Y. P. U. rendered a fine program in the afternoon. At night the pastor spoke from Cor. 5:17 to the delight of the congregation. Next Sunday morning the pastor will preach a sermon on "John of Patmos." MT. OLIVE CHURCH OF CHRIST Following the highly interesting Sunday school, the pastor delivered an excellent sermon. One new name was added to the membership roll of this church. The pastor will preach a special sermon, May 17th, after which a quartette will sing several selections. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. R. H. Bowling varied the order of service of the regular preaching hour and instead of the annual sermon—held a recognition service in honor of the leaders who had worked so faithfully and well. Each one of the one hundred team leaders was presented to the large audience and Dr. Bowling in his pleasing manner, and well chosen words of appreciation and encouragement thanked each one for the amount turned in and complimented them for their loyalty. While this was out of the ordinary, it truly was a snappy variation, for as a rule, words of commendation are reserved for an individual until at his death, then two or three hours or more needlessly wasted, saying things about the deceased, that if spoken while the individual could have heard them, might have lightened his burdens, cheered his heart and thus prolonged his life. The Philharmonic Glee Club sang very sweet Burleigh's Kiplings" "Mother O'Mine." This was greatly enjoyed. At night Dr. Bowling preached the annual thanksgiving sermon to the Knights and Ladies of Mt. Olive Lodge. He used for a text, Dan. 3:18, subject, "The Story of Three Courageous Men." This was replete with information and religious inspiration. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U, held interesting and helpful meetings. Many new names were added to the respective rolls and a number of visitors were introduced. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Ferent in its glowing tribute of love and reverence for the mothers dead, and for the mothers living, a sermon, filled with pathos inspired by the solemnity of the service, was delivered by Rev. C. M. Long, at Bank street, Sunday morning in commemoration of Mothers' Day. Rev. Long dwelt upon the part that woman had played in the development of civilization and the marked place in all affairs of vital interest in the forward movement of world progress. The speaker made a touching appeal in behalf of mothers and emphasized the importance to our own character of seeing that mother was treated right. A large congregation listened attentively to Rev. Long's discourse. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Ave.) The evangelistic meetings conducted by Rev. Herben and Rev. Roddi are having great success, there have been many conversions. The church is crowded at each meeting. The evangelist gave a most practical talk Sunday a. m., telling the people some of the things they must do in order to be great and respected by other races. The Women's Day Program was one of the best. The following persons took part: Mrs. Wilbur Drake, Misses Maxine Ferebee, Lillian Brosier, S. V. Robinson, A. T. Robinson, Mrs. Blake and Mrs. Julia Faulkner. Mrs. Drake was mistress of ceremonies and gave a most helpful address. BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. W. Scott Milled filled the pulpit at 11 a. m., and a nice audience heard his sermon. The subject was, "Solomon's Reign and His Mother's Influence." The Sunday school and Christian Endeavor were very well attended. Mothers' Day was observed at 8 p. m. A splendid program was rendered. Prof. C. W. Reynolds, of the Booker Washington High School, was the speaker of the evening. The audience was carried away with the address. Prof. J. Riley Dungee and Dr. S. I. Moone also spoke and was in charge of the program. Solis were rendered by Miss Doris Dungee, Mrs. Carrie Godwin, Deacons R. Bagly and J. Brown, Deacon- 33 Years As Sunday School Superintendent JAMES F. COLLINS, SUP. 7 For the thirty-third consecutive term Lieut James M. Collins, was elected superintendent of St. John's A. M. E.

Noted Indian Dr. Discovers Preparation That Grows Hair Two Inches Longer In Two Months Willing to Give Free Samples to All Readers of This Paper to Prove Merits of His Discovery. Several years ago in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing the game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman, Dr. J. C. DelanoMedicine Herbs of Life) was invited to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured shoulder and concussion of the arm. Dr. Delano was in his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured, but that over the course of a year had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her sister and Dr. Delano, and that the doctor questioned her as to what it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was that she only been using the ointment prescribed. ing the best that is in them. The costumes are elaborate and scintillating which will add to the beauty of the occasion. What promises to be the most spectacular features of the cantata are the Military, Drill, the Sunflower March and Dance Specialty. A cantata similar to "A Dream of Fairyland was presented some years ago at the old Norfolk Mission College and was repeated several times in order to accommodate the large crowds that were always in hand to witness the entertainment. The show on the 27th is under the direction of Mrs. M. Paige who has successfully directed a number of amateur plays in Norfolk.

He acknowledged that he sometimes did, but that he occasionally had them prepared by someone else and signed them without any examina- tion of what they contained, ‘The fact that Styles is gone, and that $1144.50 in money. belonging to the Imperial Lodge of Elks has been found credited in the Chelsea Exchange Bank to the account of H, Adolph Howell, is causing much speculation among colored Elks in New York as to the outcome of the investigation still being conducted by Mr. Jenkins, their accountant.

The affair, however, has. raised the question as to whether Ne- wroes in the State have a legal tight to ride in the busses with the while people? Says the News and Observer of this city: “There is no need of hav- ing confusion and chaos about the question of Negroes riding in bus- ses.

General Jan Smuts, at that time British Premier of South Africa, is. said to have been grently interested and to have expressed the convie- tion that British welfare work for the natives should be reorganized on the basis of the American plan.

New York, May 15—A shift ir the fight for free speech from de fense tactics to an “aggressive campaign of education for toler- ance” is announced in the annual report of the American Civil Lib- erties Union made public yester- day. The change is made possible according to the Union, by the sharp decline in all forms of xe- tive interference with civil rights due to the “absence of industrial conflict, the weakness of radical movements and the increased use of propaganda to attack radieal- ism.” ‘The Union’s program of work in hand for 1925 calls for “the restor- ation of civil rights to all persons convicted under the espionage act and special war laws restricting freedom of opinion” and the repeal by Congress of restrictive war leg- islation. Efforts will also be made to release the 98 state political prisoners held under sedition and criminal syndicalist laws, to con- test laws restricting freedom of teaching, and to clean up outstand- ing local free speech issues.

NATIONAL MUSIC WEEK As a climax to National music week here the colored school children, a thousand strong, gave a great demonstration of how the Negro spirituals should be sung at the City Auditorium Saturday night. The singing of the thousand voiced chorus was especially good, but it is believed by many that it would have been materially better had the children been trained by a colored instructor. There was a scarcity of colored people there because, it is said they were to be placed in the gallery and many people refused to go and see their children perform if they had to look from the gallery. This, however, was not the case, for the colored people were seated down stairs just as they always are at occasions of this kind.

ACTIVE IN POPPY DAY CAMPAIGN Plans Underway For The 1925 Event; Endorsed By Professional Organizations. **Special to the Journal and Guide** New York, N. Y. May 5- The twenty-three colored posts of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States are among the most active workers in the forthecoming 1928 Buddy Poppy Sale conducted nationally each year by the V. F. W. during the week of Memorial Day. "I cannot commend too highly the spirit and enthusiasm of the colored posts of the organization" said Captain R. B. Handy, chairman of the National Poppy Committee, for the country-wide effort to raise funds to maintain adequately the relief work of the V. F. W. Last year our colored posts went 'over the top' with a record of poppy sales which was note- worryly, and a tiger sure that from present indications, their results this year will be worse than the members of the posts giving generously of their time and effort to further the success of the Buddy Poppy plan and to reach as great a field as possible with the appeal of the scarlet memorial blossoms, but also some of our best poppy makers are colored ex-service men. We all recall with pride the distinction which the valor and sacrifice of our soldiers in France. The efforts of those war veteran members of V. F. W. posts on behalf of the Buddy Poppy Sale, designed as it is as a tribute to our soldier-dead and a means of succor for the living war-victims, deserves equal commendation." "Smiling Through." That is the spirit in which the scores of disabled and needy ex-service men, caretakers, Chateau Thierry and the Argonne, of St. Mihiel and Verdun, make the thousands of Buddy Poppies for the national Poppy Sale. All the Buddy Poppy used in the V. F. W. sale are made by disabled and needy veterans, and the entire proceeds from the sale are donated to relief of war disabled and to meet conditions of distress among ex-service men and their families occasioned by sickness or unemployment. Professional organizations and representative trades associations generally practiced every branch of professional industries and have signified their cordial endorsement of the Buddy Poppy plan by formal resolutions and prominent individuals and outstanding women's clubs and patriotic organizations have also strongly commended it.

POSE COLORED COLONEL FOR 15TH (Nation*1 Service) N. York, N. Y.—Since the in- cline of a movement by Equity Con- sults as collonel of Fifteenth Regiment a colored there has been much comment position by many of the regi- cal officers. It seems that Congress, led by politicians, is carrying paganda, not particularly for colonel for this crack but, for a colonel person- lable to it. For special the name of their candidate the office cannot be mend at this grounds that the officers in opposing Equity Con- sults program are that at- tacking are no men of the race sufficient contact with the to bring about a completion of the Armory, or to have the regiment and armory properly equipped. There is still another building in connection with the armory to be constructed. There are also many other important details to be looked after before the regiment can compete with others in points of equipment. Equity Congress, however, without anything nearly like a sensible program continues with its propaganda. It has managed to induce certain newspapers that their aim is for the military betterment of the Fifteenth, and in this way has caused many people to lose sight of immediately essential benefits. It was the time stated that Governor Alfred F. Sipmons, upon his appointment, upon his lead the regiment, was again given the higher grades of colored officers. Investigation discloses, nevertheless, that the Governor is in whole-hearted accord now so much with a system of colored colonels particularly, but colonels who are best equipped to bring the regiment to the highest point of efficiency. He and Adjutant General Berry have been in serious consultation on the matter several times. It is admitted by many of the regiment's leading officers and by many leading citizens that for the Governor to displace a white man for one of the race at this particular time would be to place an almost insurmountable obstacle in the path of the Fifteenth. Equity Congress recently held a mass meeting at Liberty Hall, the home of Marcus Garvey's organization, in behalf of its project. Its influence and membership are almost negligible since the death of Mr. James C. Thomas, Mr. J. Frank Wheaton, Mr. David E. Tobias. Its most prominent figure now is Mr. Louis A. Leavalle, lawyer.

Mr. Harris is one of the leading colored Republicans of the State. He proved this in the election of 1921 when he defeated the regular organization both in the primary and in the election. At the time he was can- duate for alderman, having been denied the regular nomination because of what is termed as "too much action." For several years he has been bitterly fought by Charles W. H. Mitchell, so-called Republican leader of the colored end of the twenty First Assembly district, Mr. Cochlidine, in the same district, Clifford Hawkins, leader of the Bradhurst Republican Club and many others. In spite of this opposition Mr. Harris, by the results which he has at all times obtained for the party and for which Mr. Samuel Koenig, chairman of the Republican County Committee must feel grateful, has managed to hold his own. Break About To Close The fact that he was called upon to respond to the principal speaker indicates to politicians that the long time breach existing between him and Mr. Conkling is about to be closed. It is even insinuated that he will again get the nomination for alderman in the coming election. CITIZENS CONFER WITH U.S. LABOR SECRETARY (Preston Newn Service.) Washington, D. C., May 6—Headed by Dr. Emmett J. T Scott, a committee of prominent citizens, composed of William Clarence Matthews, of Boston; Arthur G. Free, Recorder of Deeds; Charles E. Hall, in the U. S. Bureau of the Census; James A. Cobb, of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Theresa Lonelly, of the Dunbar High School; T. Edward Hill, of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics of the State of Joseph M. Tegg of the Washington office, was granted a two-hour interview with Hon. James M. Davis, Secretary of Labor, on Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of discussing the fullest protection of American workmen from unfair competition resulting from the unlawful entrance into the United States of alien labor. the committee urged a revision of the regulations applicable to quota countries or a cumulative registration for individuals who gain admission into this country without lawful procedure: Commissioner of Conciliation Karl F. Phillips presented the committee to the Secretary of Labor, who, after hearing, spoke to the committee for more than half an hour regarding the facts presented. An Expose of The New York Numbers Game By Ex-Banker (National Service) (NERIES NO. II.) New York, N. Y., May 7—Having dealt at length with the principles of the so-called number game, it is played in New York parish most indispensable adjunct—the "toupper runner" or collector. A few of them are honest, and will do everything within their power to see that their players are protected to the fullest. The majority are social parasites, men who neither want work or want to be associated with any thing in which they cannot get "easy money." The "runner," begins his work as soon as the number is out on any day and he has worked with his people provided he has written. Careful canvasser. The larger his collection the larger will be his commission. He covers at night certain bootleg clubs, pools, poolrooms, cabaretts, etc., in quest of new players so as to increase his revenue. In his pocket he carries a small book, some are white, others various colors. He is never without his carbon, but of course this means nothing since it is highly problematical whether he will pay off a large bill or will pay off a smaller bill or will pay off 503 for me. He gives the person a duplicate in carbon of the number played and retains the original to be turned in to the banker. A "runner" with a large collection naturally has charge of a vast number of these originals. Time of Figures At eleven thirty sometime, but at fifteen minutes to twelve every day the clearing house figures are taller than the clearing house figures. It then that the "runner" is now whether he has hits or not. If he has he will return to his banker between the hours of four and five o'clock in the afternoon to be paid off. If he has none he will immediately resume taking numbers for the next day's play. The reason that there are so many of them is that the pay excessive, they being in a position of all workmen to fix their own scale of wages. Tricks of Certain Runners Now let us look into the tricks of certain "runners", by which both player and banker are duped almost constantly. Keep in mind at this point that the number game as it is played today is the only gambling proposition in which the boss can trust no one. He must be on the job continually, or pay for his negligence. If he turns his back a "runner" is very likely to drop something on him which will mean that the "banker" is compelled to expend money that he might have saved had he kept his eyes open. The runner is more than the banker has corrupted the name it is at present. He has done it mostly by lying and running away with money which he received from the banker to give to a successful player. The most glaring instance of this is when 182 came out. I remember one particular gentleman who disappeared on that number with the peoples money in his pocket. When he returned he had grown a beard and could only be recognized by the closest scrutiny. He is at present collecting having for his victims an entirely new group that knows nothing of his thieving escapade. I want to illustrate very carefully the tricks I will use of the "runner" tricks. I will note that you are starting out in the banking business. You cannot possibly operate without "runners." You immediately get in touch with those that you know to be "runners." What is their proposition? They suggest that the bankers by whom they are at present employed are not on the square, or that these same bankers have refused to relieve themselves of legitimate "hits." Will you pay the hits in order to secure their valuable services to the bankers the game and know that you cannot run without "collectors." So the "runner" tells that his hits were for fifteen cents if he has a seventy five dollar collection. You give him ninety dollars. Does he give it to a player whom the previous banker is alleged not to have paid? Certainly not, because in the first place he has had no hits. The ninety dollars is his. On top of his has other suggestions which you are glad to meet readily, among which is that he receive half of the money per cent of all following collections. He only "turns in" for one or two days, then pulls the same trick on other bankers. You have paid him ninety dollars, and perhaps turned back on "hits" in his several days collection four times the amount. The banker becomes the sucker after all. Next Trick of Runners is the next trick of "runners," a trick that has caused any number of them to run out of New York? Here it is. He has a collection one day of forty dollars. That is a great deal more money than the average one has ever handled in such a short period. It becomes a temptation. He thinks the matriarch over a child, the boy, that none of the people who played with him that day will have a "hit." But as it turns out someone does "hit," for ten cents. This means that the player expects to receive sixty dollars less ten per cent. That is fourteen more dollars than the "runner" has collected. He cannot pay off. There is only one sensible thing for him to do—leave town, or go in hiding and this is NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE a most common thing under such circumstances. What is the next trick of the "runner"? Here it is. You give him a slip this morning on which you have very thoughtfully marked 510, and on which number you have placed fifty cents; the number comes out and entitles you to receive four dollars less ten per cent. Some runners will come back to you with the five hundred and forty, but most of them if they do not leave town will very diplomatically say that they forgot to turn your slip in to the "banker," or that the "banker" was hit might hard and cannot pay off. If you insist upon doing the "banker" upside down to dollars that the runner will have another very good excuse for not taking you to him. Some Not Trustworthy I know a vast number who are not to trusted with anything more than fifty dollars. One of these cost me exactly two hundred and twenty-two dollars to find him out. Another cost me twenty-five dollars. Another cost me twenty dollars. In other words it cost me altogether about seven hundred dollars to learn the inside tricks of crooked runners. As an instance of the crookedness practiced by the average "runner" I have in mind a fellow that is known in New York as "Mig Tom". Ordinarily a runner, I made him a pick-up man at twenty dollars a week. It was his duty therefore, to pay off the "runners" whose slips he had gathered up in the morning. On a certain number I had one "hit". for twenty-five cents, amounting to one hundred and fifty dollars to pay to a certain player. In chacking off the slips I misread the twenty-five for twenty-eight and, as a consequence, gave "Big Tom" one hundred and sixty eight dollars in full payment of a twenty eight cents "hit". He pocketed the eighteen extra dollars in spite of the fact he was not interested in receiving his salary every week on time. If I were to mention the tricks of "runner" completely I would have to have an entire newspaper. Let the ones above, however, serve to convince every number player that it is not the banker, but the "runner", who is the dishonest persons as a rule. Don't forget my next article ap- ply week "THE PICK-UP MAN" RACE DEMOCRATS STILL UNCERTAIN (National Service) New York, May 15—From last reports there still seems to remain considerable confusion among Negro Democrats respecting their exact status in the local organization. Cornelius H. Hughes, David E. Tobias, Oscar H. Waters John R. McNeil, principal leaders in the fight against Civil Service Commissioner Morton, head of the United Colored Democracy, still assert that orders handed down by Judge George W. Olvany, leader of Tammany Hall, not only mean that in future Mr. Morton's leadership will be confined strictly to his own organization, but all campaign funds which he has hitherto handled from Tammany Hall in the conduct of political campaigns would be turned over to the leaders of the respective districts. On the other hand, however, there are William Banks, alloged colored leader of the Nineteenth Assembly District, James C. Garrett, Bessy Beardon, George W. Harris, editor of the New York News who assert with equal emphasis that Morton's autonomy remains untouched. Open Breach Apparent To add to much of this confusion ex-Alderman Martin Healy, now leader by designation of the entire Nineteenth Assembly delivered an address in the meeting rooms of the Golden Democratic Club several nights ago in which he advised the colored voters who desired political favor to first get the approval of their colored leader. This, it appears was an open breach of the agreement brought about between Healy, Andrew B. Keating and Edmund P. Holohan at Tammany Hall several days prior. This agreement as reported to the National Service Co., by Cornelius H. Hughes, and two of the duly elected white leaders was to the effect that so far as the local Democratic Party was concerned, the only future recognized leaders were elected, the only business elected in the primaries. This agreement to date has been adhered to by Mr. Keating and Mr. Holohan, the latter, Deputy Comptroller of New York and leader of the Twenty-first Assembly District, being one of Morton's bitterest opponents. In view of the nonexplained fight that he agreed to remain out of it is rumored that a Committee of Colored voters are going to file a petition of protest to Judge Olvany.

Tamany Hall is altogether unlike any other political party in New York in its organizations. Its first vital demand of all of its constituents is party loyalty, and that they confine their political activities to the districts in which they reside. It is impossible for one of its leaders to reside outside of the district over which he holds sway. Those leaders are elected in public primaries once a year by duly enrolled Democrats in very much the same manner as the Mayor or any other elective public officer. The proceedings at these primaries are regulated strictly by law. In the light of these facts it is not believed by the opposition that Mr. Morton and his followers can justify his position as leader of any district, since his election was brought about by the Executive Committee of the United Colored Democracy, an extra-constitutional body consisting entirely or in part, of his own appointees, that did not sustain him. Mr. Morton and his people can only sustain him as president of the United Colored Democracy, an incorporated machine, but cannot o support him as leader of Colored Democrats in about nineteen districts, nor as leader of them in a single district, since he has not complied with the election laws of the State. DRIVE FOR GREAT UNIVERSITY INN.J New York, May 7—With five thousand dollars as the slogan and every department of the Convention budgeted, the program committee of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention held a meeting of much importance at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church in this the early part of the week. The Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mount Olivet, gave a cordial welcome. President I. J. Jackson presided and Rev. Dr. D. S. Klugh and F. M. Hedgeman, and corresponding secretaries, respectively shared the work of outlining the program subjects and speakers. The financial drive for funds with which to erect dormitory buildings for Northern University at Rahway, *N. J.*, held the close attention of the committee for the building. The meeting resulted in the line up of states and churches, as follows: New York and New Jersey, $5,000 each; Pennsylvania, $4,500; Maryland, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, $2,000 each; Connecticut, $1,500; the Women's Convention, $1,000; the Sunda School Convention, Rhode Island and Virginia, $500 each; the Baptist Young People's Union, $300; St. John's School, $300. This budgeting totals $25,000. Every pastor, superintendent and B. Y. P. U. president is requested to stress the importance of this matter in their meetings. The school at Rahway is already function- ing. More room is needed to accommodate the large number of young people within the Convention's territory who wish to attend their own denominational institu- tions. Rechelle N. Y., is chairman, A. J. Payne of Maryland is the secretary and Dr. F. M. Hedgman, corresponding secretary. The fifty-first annual meeting of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention will be held with the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., for five days, beginning on Tuesday, June 16, with the session of the Sunday School Convention. The Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, president of the general body is giving full time to every detail of the plans for the coming session.

The Metoka: The Meokas are to try big—they have been so successful in their movements in little things that the inspiration has grown to a magnitude beyond the present accommodations, so they are going to, or planning to, rather, stage some big affair in Odd Fellows Hall some time in the fall. The nature and procedure are to be settled in their next meeting which will be the third Thursday in this month, May. The president, Atty. H. G. Tolliver, is piloting the affairs of the club and he is continually looking up new fields of endeavor as a persistent, hard president and is not leaving one stone unturned. Owing to the foul weather on the 30th of last month, the recital fostered by the Meokas was not very largely attended, although the affair was a long way from being a failure. Miss Chatman, the artist, was at her best and the audience continued to applaud at every opportunity. A return engagement is almost certain. Once there was a man who convinced his wife that she was wrong after a heated and lengthy argument. STABBED IN THE KNEE Rheumatic pains sometime feel as if someone is stabbing you with a knife.

The fifteenth annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes highly interesting reading. From cover to cover it reveals a militancy in aims and purposes on the part of the organization that is marked with admirable sanity.

P. the past year was one of considerable activity, and its officers have carried the fight to the very strongholds of race prejudice with a vigor that has produced concrete benefits in numerous instances. The association is the silent, but militant complainant in several cases now pending in the courts in various sections of the country, noted among these being the Louisiana Segregation Case, which is about to push on to the highest tribunal of the nation. Surely no member of the race will longer question the sincerity and usefulness of this organization.

Certainly these occurrences portend just two main possibilities. If they continue to spread with the same momentum with which they seem to have started they will either bring about a general reshaping of the administrative policies of our universities, normal schools and colleges that will result in the junking of all exercise of faculty control over students outside of class rooms, and usher in an unprecedented campus democracy, or they will go so far as to Editorial Page of create a public attitude that will greatly hamper the usefulness of our schools. The latter of these possibilities is to doubly guard against. Whether or not the former is to be desired is a debatable question. The human race has come a long way up the pathway of educational progress surrounded by traditional college rules and inhibitions. Only a seer can tell whether or not the throwing over of all these rules are regulations of student conduct will produce a sturdier race, keener in perspective, more aggressive in action, saner in conduct and bolder in conflict. Be this as it may, however, it behooves those inclined to stand back and encourage student rebellion to move cautiously, investigate thoroughly and to measure as far as humanly possible the ultimate result of their actions.

The latter of these possibilities is to be doubly guarded against. Whether or not the former is to be desired is a debatable question. The human race has come a long way up the pathway of educational progress surrounded by traditional college rules and inhibitions. Only a seer can tell whether or not the throwing over of all these rules and regulations of student conduct will produce a sturdier race, keener in perspective, more aggressive in action, saner in conduct and bolder in conflict. Be this as it may, however, it behooves those inclined to stand by and encourage student rebellion to move cautiously, investigate thoroughly and to measure as far as humanly possible the ultimate result of their actions.

What About Our Young Graduates? Within the next month thousands of young men and women will sally forth from high schools and academies, colleges and universities, armed with coveted engraved parchments attesting their completion of prescribed courses in various institutions of learning. Class room days are at an end with a majority of these youthful intellectuals who will immediately assume their Within the next month thousands of young men and women will sally forth from high schools and academies, colleges and universities, armed with coveted engraved parchments attesting their completion of prescribed courses in various institutions of learning. Class room days are at an end with a majority of these youthful intellectuals, who will immediately assume their places as students in the great university of the world, where the curriculum encompasses a lifetime and magna cum laude is for those only who crown their lives with eminence in the service of their fellows. Exuberant on their graduation day and possessing a pardonable feeling of self-importance, a vast number of these young men and women will not have beaten the highways and byways of life's journey very long before disappointment will be met, then disillusionment and despair, even bitterness. But they are forewarned that merits and demerits in the world university are credited to the student according to his ability to rough-hew his way against the inevitable vicissitudes that beset all mortals. And the question naturally arises what have we to offer our young graduates, who within a few short weeks will come knocking at our doors for opportunity, come seeking to ally themselves with us in our enterprises and movements, come asking for a partnership with us in the working out of our particular problems? Has our group an adequate number of ventures commercial, religious, social welfare or humanitarian functioning upon a financial solvency that will permit the attachment to their payrolls of this new army of youthful besiegers? It has not. The fact that we will not be able to absorb all of our trained young men and women in our ventures on terms that will inspire them and unfetter them for their highest accomplishments is not to be blamed on those men and women who are pioneering in the race's economic undertakings. The fact that our enterprises have not yet reached a stage of expansion and solidarity that either permits or demands the employment of a much larger number of our young graduates is chargeable to our entire group; to the teachers, parents, sisters, brothers and racial kin of those very graduates who will besiege our enterprises for a place to begin. Any parent may easily ascertain why opportunities appear so difficult for his son or daughter by a slight self analysis. Ask ourselves the following questions: Thruout the school career of our young men and women, have we exhibited an interest in their future that led us to support and build up those institutions and enterprises to which we have known our boys and girls would be compelled to go to apply their training? Haven't we passed by with indifference and at times contempt the struggling businesses where our girls might have hoped to become clerks, typists, stenographers, etc., and carried our entire support to those establishments in which our highest graduates and finest type of womanhood may find employment only as scullions? Have we tried to make big our small establishments with the aim of making big opportunities for these graduates who soon will be casting about for some place to anchor—a thing that parental love and commonsense should have dictated that we do in spite of how otherwise we may have felt? How about the schools and colleges that are turning out these young men and women? Have they supported the enterprises of their communities in which their graduates will seek opportunity? Have the members of the faculties afforded incentive to the students under their influence to spend some of their funds where existed the possibilities of a part of what was spent being in later years returned to the spender by way of the pay envelope? To all of these questions the answer is largely in the negative. There is usually the strained and false pretense of effecting some immediate saving of a few pennies, in the achieving of which the more permanent and larger gain is lost. Then here lies the reason why hundreds of young men and women of our group who will leave school next month will be the first to meet discouragement and despair on life's highway. If we are to have places of employment for our boys and girls when they leave school we must build them ourselves, and in the building of them the boys and girls and their instructors and advisors have an obligation and a responsibility which they cannot escape, and which they must discharge faithfully if they expect to rise higher than a menial in the walks of life. Parents and graduates may complain bitterly that there is no opportunity. But the condition is one largely of their own creation. The sacrifice and struggle for an education have been acute, maybe; but a thought beyond the class room has been sorely lacking. Health And Welfare By NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (For Associated Negro Press) Be Kind to Animals—We Are Animals Sunny spring and summer suns, with long irritating days of life and labor, raising the mercury in millions of vari-colored thermometers, will soon be upon us; and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is again stressing the humanitarian reminder—"Be Kind to Animals." Tis a good thought and a happy practice, this "Be Kind to Animals" movement. Indeed, we think so well of the idea of sparing dumb beasts unnecessary scolding, jerking and beating, neglect of proper watering, feeding, bedding and rest, that we have looked up the definition; and lo, and behold, with apologies to Rudyard Kipling, we are animals, even as they and which. The great slogan for the trying days which wait around the corner with the big stick of spring fever and summer complaints to lay you low is "Keep Cool." The cooling system of the genus homo (in plain United States, the animal, man) is much more interesting than that of airplanes and autos, and more effective, if we keep it right and use it rightly, and we might add, righteously—don't get "het up" during these T. N. T. easily exploding days. Let's look up the blue prints and see if we know our notes on this cooling system. A short story of what it is, how it works, and what influences it follows. The skin with its myriad of small pores is the evaporator as it were, which takes the heat units off the surface of the body and gives both the feeling and actual temperature of comfort and safety. If you recall the advertisements of famous porous underwear, you will have a gross picture of the sweat glands in the tissue of the body surface which secrete the water (perspiration) the principal feature of the cooling system. The sebaceous (oil) glands which occupy relative positions beneath the skin also make up a part of this comfort system, keeping, the skin soft and pliable and preventing irritating dryness. The lungs in removing certain impurities and supplying fresh air for blood and tissue needs; the kidneys and bowels in carrying off wastes of food and body are a part of the animal mechanism for keeping cool and comfortable. All of this indicates a simple code of living during these days, namely: 1. Keep the skin fit for its function by frequent and proper bathing in tub, lake, river or ocean—take your choice, or your convenience, and take it often. 2. Wear light, porous clothing, especially next to the skin. Change and clean clothing often. 3. Eat moderately—less of fattening, heating foods: sweets, starches, fats; also meats which tax digestion. Eat more leafy, watery vegetables, fresh ripe fruits, drink more water, but beware of the heat tempter "pop." Wholesome drinks, especially fresh fruit drinks, help supply the large amount of water needed to replace that lost by evaporation from the body, but the gas and sugar in "pop" affect both appetite and tissue welfare and should not be used in excess or at QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Chicago, Illinois April 18, 1925 Dear Sir:—It has come to my attention that your young distinguished eritic, Mr. J. A. Rogers, takes exception to my calling Cleopatra, a mulatto, also attributing Negro blood to Mohammed and Empress Josephine. He traces the Ptolemy line down to Ptolemy XII and then asserts that Cleopatra was in every sense "the daughter of the Ptolemies." But why did our good friend Rogers stop with Ptolemy XII? That is just where he should have started in tracing the descent of Cleopatra. Ptolemy XII was the illegitimate son of Ptolemy Soter II, the latter having this son by a native Egyptian woman. This son succeeded to the throne and had four children, one of the four being the renowned Cleopatra. As far as I am able to discover, the famous Cleopatra and her father were the first of the Ptolemic line who possessed Egyptian blood. If I cared to go deeply into this Macedonian line, I might cite to Mr. Rogers that the first royal house of Macedon, the Tememide, came from Angos in all between meals. Drink water freely during the day. The appetite goes off to peculiar whims during hot weather and calls for strange things to eat, neither wise not necessary. Hearken not unto it.

Plan your work so as to get the burden and heat of it off the day's program before the sun gets on its high horses and raises the fuss and fury of high noon. It takes Old Sol a few hours to steam up after he leaves his hiding place behind the eastern horizon. Out-jockey him before he strikes his stride. Then play hide and seek with him (not with the job, however) until he takes the tumble on the western frontier of parting day. Then fare forth in the cool of the evening; but don't forget that "early to bed and early to rise" is even better in summer than in winter. Oh, yes, we know it is hot indoors. That's easy to avoid. Sleep outdoors (with in the law, of course). Try it! It's great. There would be much less fatigue and exhaustion from His Highness Solor Plex Us, if we just used our heads more and our appetites and stomachs less. Last but not least, don't get "het up." When you pull the language lever of peevishness and passion (fussing, cussing, etc.) we are striking a direct blow at our code of comfort. The extra organic activity the extra body heat and body poisons, produce a more or less lasting feeling of discomfort and add more work to the already taxed mechanism of the skin, lungs and kidneys. Your clothes, your diet, your work and your temperament, are the controlling factors of your comfort, when the sun seems to get the notion that his one and only summer mission is to turn Mother Earth into a hot griddle to toast the tissues and try the temperament of fickle folks. But you have the antidots—Can't the sons (and daughters) of the earth get along with the sun of the heavens? Would you like to meet the answer? Well you are it.

Greece, and were the descendants of those African colonist who settled in Argos. However we will not stretch the point unduly, as the blood was probably thinned in the course of centuries. It is a fact hardly requiring further proof that the Empress Josephine was a Creole and possessed dark blood. As to Mohammed, he came of the tribe of Koreish, that famous Arabian house founded by the Vemenites, who were almost pure Negroes and under the suzerainty of Ethiopia. Mr. Rogers further says that I am developing the "Nordic habit of reaching back and claiming the noted" peoples and civilizations of other races a la Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborne. To be sure. Why not? If these people possessed African blood, claim them and place the burden of proof otherwise upon the Nordic. The readers of this column may rest assured that when any statement is made herein concerning the ethnic relations of nations and individuals, the writer has ample evidence for the statement: Nevertheless, criticism is always welcome. GEORGE WELLS PARKER Notes On Labor Conditions The final event of spring is bringing about something of a change in the labor situation and many of the unemployed are finding work. However, the major part of the work is seasonable and consists of building projects and municipal work. While the packing industry is picking up a little as is usual this time of year, the great steel industry is not showing as decided gains and for this reason there is still much unemployment in all the great steel centers. Last week a spurt in new orders took place, but this will have to be continued in order to make any great change. There is little likelihood that any companies will have to import labor this year. Therefore those who are seeking advanced transportation are likely to be disappointed. Beginning with June the har vest season starts and from all predictions it appears that the harvest season will be exceedingly large this year and demand many men. It is not an unwise plan for common labor to follow this line during the season which lasts about four months and then return home. They will certainly have some money saved and be much better off. As to coming North, however, use caution and judgment. Find out where labor is needed before you leave. The whole states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, are supplied with an overflow of common labor and it will be thirty to sixty days before this surplus will be taken up. The Public Pulse Principal Reynolds Editor Journal and Guide. Dear Sir:—Whatever may be said or whatever is wanting to be said by this or that person, or by this or that paper concerning Prof. Reynolds, Norfolk has one great, big obligation which it cannot get around:—Thanks to Prof. Reynolds for his very efficient management of our High School since his coming among us. His coming to us is a God send blessing; his stay will be a double God send. Of course, the neighbors of a sister state might object to the incoming of authority when they feel that they have competent men among them who might do equally as well. It registered an objection on just such grounds. That is natural; and it is a fine thing for each community to feel that it has reared its own competent men to manage all of its affairs. But be that ever so true, there often arises a necessity to call in from the outside, a man who can feel that he owes no obligations to his followers for his appointment; a man who comes in with free hands, having made no promises to this or that person for supporting him; a man who has not circulated, has not encouraged or caused to be circulated any propaganda on behalf of himself. It may be true that Norfolk has such a man who is competent. If so, it would seem that our City School Board would be in the better position to know that man. But judging from the experience of the members of the City School Board, and their abundance of knowledge of our efficient men, and the interest which they have, shown in our welfare, and the highly commendable results of Prof. Reynolds' appointment, let us say to them: Thank you. Finally, Prof. Reynolds is competent, theoretically and practically. Under his administration the State Board of Education at Richmond has rated our school as an A-1 High School. We have the right man in the right place. Not an inch of him will ever rust out. He is of the worthwhile kind that wears out. If we will only support him in thought and action we shall soon have a community of which we shall be more than justly proud. Let others say what they may about him. Let us love and support him. He is ours, and he is able. Reynolds: Norfolk, Follow Him. Civic. Norfolk, Va. Editor of Journal and Guide, Sir:I shall be glad if you will allow me space in your paper to convey a thought to the Negroes of the South. I have reached the conclusion that Negroes, in a large degree, are responsible for the disrespect shown by white people of the South. The reason why Negroes are not respected by white people of the South is, they do not respect themselves as they should, and they do not resent the disrespect shown them. If we want to be respected, we should resent all disrespect shown to us, and we should respect ourselves better. I speak things that I know and have seen. I have not found a man who has succeeded in making white people respect him without applying this method. I have found many that have grasped it in part, and just so far as they have grasped it, just so far have they succeeded. I say to you that our old "don't care" attitude will not secure for us the respect that we desire. Before closing I want to say again, you can force white people to respect you by applying the method above. All it takes is nerve—and a willingness to pay, whatever the cost may be, for upholding the dignity of your race. Very truly yours, JAMES H. JOHNSON Norfolk, Va. TID BITS Superstitions were prevalent in the early days of ancient Egypt. The apparently supernatural powers of the priests were usually withheld to force some important political measure, or to show that satisfaction of the gods on important occasions. Archeologists have discovered the ruins of many ancient temples in which these acts were performed. In some of them tubes have been found to pass to various parts of the building. By speaking through these tubes a single voice could be heard through the entire building. This means was used to show the worshippers the satisfaction of the particularly god whose presence and help them priests were invoking. One of the most remarkable devices of these ancient priests consisted of a heavy pedestal with a figure, representing a particular god or goddess, standing on it. When paying tribute to the god or goddess the worshippers kindled a fire upon the altar and their prayers would be answered by wine flowing from the jug held by the figure. It is said that in ancient days, it was customeary for worshippers to pour wine on sacrificial fires. This seemingly supernatural power of the priest was made possible only by the unique construction of the altar. Below the altar proper was a hollow compartment separated from the fire by a thin flooring. At its base was a reservoir for wine with a tube running up through the statue to the jug. When the fire was kindled the air would expand and force the wine up, thru the tube until it poured from the jug.
