Received This Week First Baptist Church -- $34.11 Mrs. Senora Wallace -- 1.00 Mrs. R. J. Matthews -- 1.00 Total -- $36.11 Previously Acknowledged -- $152.00 Total in Hand -- $188.11 Amount Needed -- $250.00 Amount raised to date now on deposit in Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. -- $188.11 Amount necessary to be raised -- $61.89 Although the Walter Blow Fund remained stationary last week it has taken a decided ascent in the past few days having climbed from $152.00 as previously acknowledged to $188.11. The goal is not far in the distance now, and again the faith that this newspaper has maintained in the Christianity, humanitarian impulse of its readers is about to be vindicated. With those conducting the fund half of this handicapped child there has never existed any doubt as to the final outcome. It was inconceivable that this newspaper reaching 50,000 people weekly would fail to carry the appeal to enough generous hearts to bring forth the needed help for Walter Blow. The First Baptist Church of this city, taking a hold of this affair with a similar vitality as characterizes every movement in which it interests itself donated to the fund this week $4.411. Accompanying its check for this amount was a letter signed by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Bowling, that cannot fail to stir in the hearts of those who have donated to this handicapped child a feeling of thankfulness for what they have done as this letter so succinctly sums up the worthiness of the cause, Mrs. Senora M. Wallace, of Portsmouth, and Mrs. R. J. Matthews, of this city also donated $1.00 each this week Rev. Bowling's Letter "For him writing to commend you for your timely interest in little Walter Blow, who lost both his legs in a road accident when he was but little more than an infant. Through your columns we have learned that he is in dire need of some artificial limbs to help him walk. In best he may the terrible handicap under which he is growing up. "Sirred by your repeated appeals on his behalf we have looked into his case and find that he is in every way worthy. He is well liked by both his teachers and fellow students. He is an aspiring little fellow, full of good cheer, and impresses one he would make good in life in a large way, if only given a chance. As a further mark of our interest in the boy and our faith in you as a competent guardian for the fund being raised on his behalf you will find enclosed our check for $34.11.

SUGGESTS PLAN TO IMPROVE LOCAL WELFARE WORK Dr. Edward T. Devine Advises Counsel Of Social Agencies With Ultimate Goal Of Abolition Of Poverty. PLANS FOR 1926 CHEST FUND NOW IN MAKING A group of representative citizens who are allied with social welfare agencies, and others who maintain a keen interest in the social service problem in this city gathered in the Community Center, Wednesday afternoon and listened to Dr. Edward T. Devine, white who set forth what he described as a plan for more constructive and lasting social welfare activities among the colored citizens. Dr. Devine is regarded as a professional student of social economic problems in twenty years, ready to the question during which time he has visited practically every southern city in the country. In his talk he advanced the idea that the colored citizens should strive to make their welfare agencies largely independent of aid from the other race group. Dr. Devine made it clear that he did not mean to discourage the idea of white people contributing to the support of colored charities, said he felt certain that if the colored people should their work independently, they would experience a greater interest in it, and that the very independence of it would elicit the greater admiration of the other group. He explained that he felt the time was drawing near when the colored race might shoulder its own social welfare problems. Dr. Devine emphasized his belief that the amount of money obtained from the yardstick with which the amount of community service benefits procured would be measured. The will to do by the people he regarded as most important. Eradicate Poverty Poverty is a thing that can be cradicated, Dr. Devine, said, and stated that he did not believe there was any cause for it. Education, religion, personal influence he described as the things that might be successfully combating poverty. By religion he explained that he did not mean simulate emotional appeal, but intimate work among the poorer element of the population. This work should include visits to the homes of the disadvantaged families, offering advice and encouragement to indigent mothers and explaining to them the best method of steering the children to their homes; helping to ascertain the real cause of poverty in that home and then striving to counteract those influences that cause poverty. The speaker advised the formation of a counsel of social agencies among Norfolk colored people. This counsel would be set for its in the next ten years the giving of every child in the community every possible chance to become a happy adult.

CHAIRMAN ADMITS HE WAS ADVISED TO RESIGN After a careful and painstaking investigation by the Journal and Guide covering a period of three weeks in an effort to ascertain just what activities of a constructive nature are being carried on by the Norfolk Community Center this newspaper is in a position to state definitively that white and colored citizens of the community—mostly white—are paying thru the Community Chest Fund the sum of $143.33 a month, supplemented by donations from certain other sources to provide: 1. A building at a rental of $60 per month, where the Center has its headquarters. 2. A part-time secretary at a salary of $90 per month, who with his family lives in the building. 3. A janitor at a salary of $25 a month. 4. Expenses such as fuel, light and gas. "That the people of the community are getting in return for the said outlay nothing constructive in the way of the promotion of community welfare activities; no tangible benefits of life they might be expected of an organization purporting to foster social service. Chairman Advised to Resign Although the Center is receiving its monthly check of $143.33 for what appears to be a mythical community service, there is still a good deal of public criticism being directed toward the conduct of that institution. This dissatisfaction has reached a point where only recently a person high in the councils of the Community Chest Fund and having much to do with the colored work advised by the designators of the board of directors of the Center, Dr. F. S. Corpage, according to a statement made to this paper by Dr. Compage. Following the presentation of a budget by its directors last fall calling for an allowance of $4,000 from the Community Chest Fund for 1925, and which was accepted by the Fund's Committee, strong protest was immediately directed at the Center from those who felt that the interests of other worthy welfare organizations would be compelled to suffer in the event the Center was included in the drive for the amount asked. In fact, the published status of all the colored organizations permitted to participate in the Fund showed that the lion's share of anticipated collections had been allotted the Community Center. Following this sharp protest, which eventually developed this institution and management mechanism in a successful discussion which for a time seriously threatened the release by the Chest Fund of any money to the Community Center, a group of citizens met on December 23rd, to discuss ways and means to bring harmony out of chaos. At this meeting a co-ordinating committee was appointed whose purpose was to work out a plan for co-ordinating the colored welfare agencies. Upon investigation of the Community Center thru a subcommittee this co-ordinating committee recommended that the institution be reorganized and that its board of directors be increased from 21 to 35 members, and its program be stated in a published, according to information given this newspaper. A list containing the original board of directors with a request that 14 of these be added to the board to bring its total membership up to 35. According to Dr. F. S. Coppage chairman of the board, 15 of these names have been added, making the board as now constituted consist of 36 persons. Budget Scaled Down The budget of $4,000 originally presented by the Center was eventually scaled down to $3,600 and finally boiled down to an allowance of $1,720 by the Chest F un d Opinion is being freely expressed (Continued on Puge Three) PETER H.

ATTUCKS THEATRE UNDERGOING MANY IMPROVEMENTS ATTUCKS THEATRE UNDERGOING MANY IMPROVEMENTS New Picture Machines, Larger Modern Screen, Pipe Organ And Complete Renovation In Prospect. NEW SYNDICATE TAKES OVER MANAGEMENT News of an important nature to Norfolk citizens is the announcement from highly authoritative sources that a recently formed syndicate, headed by H. T. Clark, special representative of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, has taken over the management of the Attucks theatre, and are now making plans for certain improvements that will make the house one of the most modern and most beautiful in the city. Among the improvements which have already passed the formative stage are the installation of two new motion picture projectors with the celebrated radiant lens, a new 12x16 gold and silver picture screen, and a pipe organ, to cost upward of $10,000. In addition the house is to be renovated through, a new coat of paint is to be added and the ventilation improved. Altogether a sum estimated at $25,000 is to be spent in improvements. The New Management Careful investigation by this paper disclosed the fact that the new graduate of which Mr. Clark the head is amply financed, and it may be said with authority that the theatre is now under stable and highly responsible control. Herefore the house has often been handicapped by control which found itself financially unable to give the public the best service in pictures and plays, but it can be said of the present management that it is in position to spare no expense in bringing the house up to the best standards and maintaining them indelibly. The house has already been signed, Mr. Clark stated, for features which should enable the Attacks performances to measure up to the best to be had in this city or elsewhere, and under conditions and upon terms not to be had elsewhere in the city. Mr. J. E. Kelley, who has been with the Attacks for several years will continue in the capacity of manager. Mr. Kelley is widely known and popular with the theatre going public. The Attacks theatre was founded by a corporation composed of race people, and the ownership of the house has never passed out of the race. The property, which embraces also an office building is owned by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. RACE REPUBLICANS OF NEW YORK INJECT SEGREGATION ISSUE Whites Adhere To Party Loyalty While Colored Leaders Of Prominent Club Seek To Have Delegated Authority. SCHISM REIGNS BETWEEN POWERFUL FACTIONS (National Service) New York, May 28—With the political fate of colored people all over New York State hanging in the balance, the Appomattox Republican Club of 108 West 136th St, Colonel Chas. W. Fillmore, president; Chas. W. B. Mitchell, leader, is carrying on a fight to establish political segregation. Its direct cause, as stated by Mr. Travers and Mr. Jas. C. H. Andrews, treasurer of the club is the refusal of Mr. Robert L. Hancock, the opposing leader of twenty-first district, to sanction Charles W. B. Mitchell, so-called colored leader, and his followers in their move for a division of power. Mr. Conkling is the duly elected leader of the entire district which is thickly populated by colored and white voters. In the past simply as an honorary embellishment a colored man has been permitted to act as his co-leader in the Southern end of the district. When, however, acessible attack by prominent colored Democrats on the dual leadership that existed in the Democratic party in the 13th, 19th, and 21st districts, Mr. Conkling decided to pursue a regular policy in future. Appeals to County Chairman Appeals to County Chairman Realizing the futility of any hope in a restoration of the old order, and being unwilling to surrender any of the authority which they had previously exercised as a gratuity, the Appomatox Republican Club delegated a committee to present to Mr. Samuel Koenig, County Chairman of the Republican party, a petition of grievances. The committee signed by approximately 1,000 enrolled Republicans, many of whom do not live in the twenty-first district, also by the Revs. Wm. P. Hayes, Hutchins C. Bishop, W. W. Brown, A. Clayton Powell, M. W. Thornton and Frederick A. Cullen, was made to the Republican Executive Committee on Thursday, April 16.

TOM LEE, HERO OF THE MISSISSIPPI GETS LIFE REWARD Engineers' Club Establishes Perpetual Fund To Care For Man Who Saved Lives Of Thirty-five Whites. Memphis, Tenn, May 26—Whether Tom Lee, the colored hero who saved the lives of more than thirty whites when the steamboat Norman capsized in the Mississippi river with a sight-seeing party of engineers and their families on board two weeks ago, received a Carnegie Hero Medal for his bravery or not, he will not have to worry about how he is to meet the problem of bread and butter during the remainder of his natural life, according to plans being worked out for his benefit by the grateful survivors and their comrades who owe their lives to his efforts. At a recent executive meeting the Memphis Engineers' Club created the "Tom Lee Fund of the Engineers' Club," to be "made permanent so long as Tom Lee and the Engineers' Club are in existence." The fund is to be made up by subscriptions of members of the club and their friends and interested persons. Besides this grateful recognition of his heroesm, Tom Lee is to receive a fund to purchase a home. This fund is being raised by the Memphis Commercial Appeal and has already reached $1,053.

Slade Recites Pitiful Story Of Alleged Unwarranted Assault With Gun By Prohibition Officer SAID HE WAS LEFT TO BLEED FOR HOURS Totally paralyzed in his lower limbs and completely unable to walk George S. Slade, after being lifted bodily in the witness chair, gave a pitiful description of an alleged unwarranted assault upon him by Prohibition Agent J. G. Griffin in the trial of his suit against that officer for $15,000 damages in Federal District Court here Monday. The jury awarded Slade $4,500. Ignored Wounded Man In his complaint the invalided man set forth that on the afternoon of October 1, last, he went into a field in Norfolk county at a place near the Indian River boulevard and also near the boundary line of Norfolk and Princess Anne counties to look after some hay, and that Officer Griffin without cause shot him in the back paralyzing his lower limbs. He also asserted that after Griffin had shot him he, Griffin, demanded that Shade tell him where his still was. Shade said that when he told the officer he knew nothing about a still the officer said he would allow Shade to lie on the ground and bleed. Death if he did not tell him if she find it. For more than an hour he said, he was left lying on the ground, bleeding and in great agony while Griffin scoured the bushes looking for a whiskey plant. Sets Up Self-Defense Griffin set up a plea of self-defense and asserted that he had information that Slade was operating a still in the woods near the place where he was shot. He said he saw Slade approaching and ordered him to watch at him, Griffin, a large tin can he was carrying and took to his heels, the officer testified. He said he pursued Slade and when the fleeing man was about a hundreds from him, Griffin, he thrust his hand on his hip as if to draw a weapon. Griffin said he then fired on Slade. His testimony was corroborated by State Officer Paxson, who accompanied Griffin to the field. The testimony of the two officers was contradictory in some material aspects. The defense exhibited as evidence the can which Griffin alleged Slade threw at him. Here a juror interrupted the testifying to inquire of Griffin if any old man could not be locked and brought in court. Although Slade alleged he was shot at 2:30 o'clock, hospital records show the wounded man did not get to the hospital until that afternoon at 5:10 o'clock. Merrill, Davis and Manen represented Slade while Lester Parsons, Assistant District Attorney appeared for the Prohibition Agent. WHITES PREPARE TO ENTERTAIN RACE K. OF P'S WHITES PREPARE TO ENTERTAIN RACE K. OF P'S (By Associated Negro Press) Palatka, Fla., May 28—Perhaps for the first time in history, a southern town spends a large sum of money to entertain Negro fraternal order at its grand lodge session. The City Commission of Palatka which is one Negro member, recently voted $10,000 to improve streets, erect a permanent building and two temporary buildings to entertain the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of Knights of Pythias which meets in this city this week. Eleventh street which leads to the Negro playground here and which will be used as a camp ground has been paved to accommodate the Knights of Pythias and delegates, and a substantial building will be built to house the players of the playground, which has been erected, in addition to a temporary kitchen and hospital for exclusive use of the Knights of Pythias. During the preparation for the Grand Lodge the white citizens of feded all kinds of aid to the Negro committee, and were as desirous of seeing things well done as were the Negroes. The mayor and other public officials last year sent letters inviting them to come to Palatka this year and made many flattering inductments GIRL RESERVES.

CITY GIANTS BEST IN SERIES WITH RED SOX Elizabeth City, N. C.—In a series of three games the Petersburg Red Sox dropped two to the Elizabeth City Giants. The Carolinans win can be easily attributed to the generalship of Youngster Spruill who put it all over Jones, the veteran. The first game was played on a slow field and under threatening clouds. Of course, much fast fielding was in evidence and the game was featured by the heavy hitting of "Farmer" Adams, who made three safe hits out of 4 chances at bat. Slade was listed among the stars of the day coming to the store with some brilliant fielding. "Jake" Nixon was sent to the showers as the result of his wildness. The second day out the Red Sox split a double bill with the Giants. "Red" Spruill and McCloud lead the offense in this game, also bearing the brunt of the defense. The next game was played with a bunch of Red Sox youngsters in the lineup. Sox won the game at the score of 8-6. Eason and Slade were the stars of this game. ST. PAUL'S NINE WALLOPS THOLOGS BY J. L. WHITEHEAD Lawrenceville, Va., May 18—In their final C. I. A. A. baseball melee of the 1925 collegiate diamond season, the Episcopal Tigers walled the Baptist Dragons, 11 to 2 in a game that was one-sided and slow from start to finish. A large rainy day crowd attended the tilt in which St. Paul reigned supreme in every department. Holland, a former St. Paulite and Virginia Seminary's pitching ace, was cool, deliberate and his delivery was hypnotic, but the plucky youngsters almost collapsed in the fifth inning when his sturdy fielders reached a state of inertia. Holland allowed but nine hits, several of which were scratchy, and there were only two runs earned on him. With the exception of Hudges in center field, Seminary's defense succumbed to St. Paul's onslaught. Hoyle was the visitors' outstanding slabman. Being under the influence of his final exams, and having to toss wet balls, Wallace did not reach his curving stride and usual effectiveness, but Jefferson's cruel performance; at first and Jimmie Hudson's obnoxious catching, kept the St. Paul captain out of danger. Artis and Hudson were the local's leading batters. SCORE St. Paul AB R II PO A E Jefferson, 1b ---5 3 0 11 1 0 Williams, rf ---4 2 2 0 0 1 Artis, ss ---4 1 1 2 3 0 Quinn, 3b ---4 1 1 1 0 0 Q.

JOHNSON Ocey Wilson, one of Norfolk's inventors and the inventor of the machine gun. real brown skin chorus at the Palace Theatre for an entire week beginning Monday, June 1. Mamie Smith, who has won country wide renown as one of the leading blues singers needs no introduction to the theatre patrons of Nerfolk, having been here several times in very good performances. The blues singer has made a reputation that parallels any singer of her group and has won the favorable comment of some of the leading papers and personages of the country. Among those who have commented on the singing of Mamie Smith is Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion of the world. Dempsey said: "I could listen to Mamie sing, 'Don't Mess with Me' all night. The company will be composed of twenty-five people who are artists in their professions and all indications point to a show of merit, being as good or better than any in which Manie Smith has played a leading role. The company will have special scenery and gorgeous costumes which together with the beauty of beauties will add to the performances. There will only be one show each night, beginning at 8:30 p. m. The box office of the Palace Theatre will open every day at 3 o'clock and doors of the show will be thrown open at 7 o'clock. Paavo Nurmi has been getting 87 a day expense money from the A. A.

This only goes to again prove that every man writes from his perspective. Admitting that the world's champion has in mind obvious qualifications to this dictum just as when he says in his new book, select and learn one stroke and practice on it eternally until completely mastered, still I venture to contend that the absolute disregard of a diversified plan and sole concentration on tennis for the great mass of struggling (uncrowned champions) players will be far more lucrative in greater successes, and I further believe that the chances of staleness are in nowise affected. We may not be so far apart in the light we have on this subject as Mr. Tilden admits that after all staleness is a mental condition and not a physical one.

Wanted! A Woman Sport Columnist Hey, girl! what seems to be the trouble? We would like to see man conducting a sport column for the fairer sex, a column that chronicles the doings of women in the athletic realm. The young ladies of the land are not getting into print as much as they should, and it may be due to the fact that we males do not pay much attention to the girls and their accomplishments. It is not because we don't want to. We have so much to do in trying to keep pace with the bimboes that we usually overlook women in sport. Some girlie ought to come to the fore with something on her sex in the sport world. We have women tennis players, basketball players, baseball players, golfers, in participants in the rough g only ought to be before the p (exercise my ego) that this k reading, not only to the ope Probably some of the presses nuff in the interest of the other posts on the staffs fair clip, some are even ri the participants in the rough going athletic activities.

Well, it's so now, according to a report coming from Dempsey himself, that is, an article under his name. "I want to fight—but the promoters just chat about it. So, for a while, I'm going to forget all about the fight business. Mrs. Dempsey and I are going to have a little vacation in Europe. We'll play around there until we get tired. Afterward we'll come back. When we do it'll be too late for me to do any outdoor fighting in 1925. And that means I won't fight again, at the very earliest until 1926." Now, we are wondering what weight the Boxing Commission's decision had—none at all—abso-blooming-lately. Dempsey will not be the holder of the title always and let us hope that the next man will not abuse it as it is now being abused. Let us also hope that something will be to prevent anybody else from using the title to suit themselves. You can bet your sweet life, that if an Afro-American holds the title he will be forced to battle every little white hope that says he wants a crack at the dusky champion. TEACHERS STUNT NIGHT PROVES A BIG SUCCESS BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The teachers of Booker Washington high school cleverly carried out their parts in a Stunt Night staged by them at the school auditorium Monday night. The teachers show was far better than the girls' and boys' stunt night held not very long ago. The first act of the night, "School Days," was a source of much incrimination and laughter. This was a burlesque on the days of old when teachers were bold and students everything but good. All of the older heads of the school who took part in this scene were garbed as they probably were when that act was a reality to them. The raising of the curtain in the room itself to produce a laugh without the act. Such characters as Mrs. Barber as a lapper, with short dresses and bobbled hair, Mr. Seiden as a bean shooting backwoods boy and Rev. Lee as a prim but mischievous grown up lad and several others in the cast kept the fun going through the play. This was the best act on the program and in it, Mr. Archer was especially good. Among the good pieces was Prof. Scott in a calisthenic work with India. The show for the night was brought to a climax with the crowning of Miss Gains as the queen of May. JAPANESE TO PLAY HOWARD'S NINE JAPANESE TO PLAY HOWARD'S NINE As well as encountering all the strong teams of the mainland of Japan, the team toured the Island Empire from Hokkido in the north to Tarwan in the south. The members of the aggregation have always "delivered the goods" and the fans in Japan expect them to live up to their reputation in America. Howard this season has a much stronger team than that of last year and the Howard followers feel confident of being able to take the measure of their honored rivals, the Japanese, as they did last year. an New York University. The baseball fans of Washington will be given a treat when these outstanding Japanese a hletes meet the fast Howard University nine that defeated the Mojii University team from Japan last year in a ten innings game 4-3. Manager Fukiki Fukumoto of the Osaka Mainichi team in conference with Coach Burr of Howard University stated that this Japanese team in the past few seasons has made a most remarkable record. They have played 261 games, winning 212, losing 44, and tying 5. Last spring the Osaka team "cleaned up" all the college team that had proved eligible to wear the baseball crown of Japan. Washington, D.

YOUNG Hampton, Va. May 23—Two pitchers and in- and outfield substitutions failed to turn back the tide of defeat as it looked at the Seasiders the fourth consecutive time this season in a loose hammering glovefest in which the Union Panthers collected a total of eleven runs to shut out Hampton in her final game. A brooding sun frowned fiercely over the pitchers they struggled for two hours to decide finally diamond supremacy between Hampton and Union. The visitors hopped on the Seasiders in the first inning to score one run when Edgar singled, advanced on Mask's sacrifice, stole HUB—EIGHT third, and went home on Bright's sacrifice fly. Thus accorded their initial tally, the Panthers henceforth played "fox and hounds" around the diamond, seemingly batting at will and scoring as often. Spectacular batting netted five more in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one in each in the sixth, eighth, and ninth innings to give a total of eleven. While outts and errors were plentiful, the affair was colored by a few hair-breath plays. Perhaps most brilliant were e. Boffman's smashing home in the fourth frame, and Harris' flying of Bright's foul fly in the seventh.

JOHNSON, JR. The Attacks Theatre opens next week with Thomas Meighan in "Coming Through" Monday and Tuesday. Meighan is supported by a good cast and has playing opposite him, Lila Lue. The mid-week attraction will no doubt be the best on the entire program. It will be a James Cruze production and movie goers can always expect a superpiece from Cruze. "The Goose Hangs High" is Cruze's latest production and is a graphic representation of everyday folks. Its a story with a holiday background combined with it heart-throbs, humor, and homey thrills. The title of this story was the subject of debate. Right out of a clear sky, a red hot discussion developed at the Paramount Studio in Hollywood during the James Cruze film "The Hang High." It entered the origin of the term, which is the title of the picture. The principals of the week long argument were James Cruze, the producer, and George Irwing, who shares featured honors in the cast with Constance Bennett, Myrtle Stedman, Esther Ralston and Edward Peil Jr. The debate was never both the theories advanced sounded plausible. In the olden days, before the time—well, the Attucks and see the rest. Telling it here cannot do justice to the picture. New faces will be seen in this production. Some of the characters are getting their first chance to do a part in a picture of any moment. Cruze says the screen needs new faces and he is giving the public an opportunity to see new stars, and the movie will be featured in "A Man Must Live."

ZION PASTOR WARNS AGAINST DISTRUST IN FAMILY CIRCLE In Striking Sermon Rev. E. E. Smith Declared Pure Home Life Is Sanctioned By God. Sunday, May 17, at Zion Baptist Church, Portsmouth, Rev. E. E. Smith, the pastor, preached what has been characterized as a very striking sermon on the subject, "Preparation for Living," selected from the words, "So Teach Us To Number Our Days That We May Apply Our Hearts To Wisdom. His discourse in part follows: It is significant to notice the in Scripture to the human heart. Solomon says 'Keep thy heart with diligence for out of it come the issues of life.' Again we are told that 'as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Danial purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the King's meat. Ezekiel had a penitent heart and declared he would not take out a heart of stone and get a heart of flesh. The Savior said, 'Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.' Paul teaches that the heart is 'basis of religious faith' as useth that in the heart man beceived into righteousness. The psalmist prays 'Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer, and Moses prayed, 'So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.' It is urgent to apply our hearts to wisdom in our family life. God gave the fundamentals of family life when He declared that man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. God gave sanction to the marriage of one man to one woman. The serpent crept into Eden and broke up its glory. It is the same with family life. Many kinds of serpents crawl in and break up a home. Among them is the serpent of distrust. Confidence is necessary to the success and happiness of the home. Suspicion destroy them. There is the serpent jealousy. Jealousy becomes可爱 when there is no reasonable grounds for distrust and unhappiness is the result. Today the serpent rebellion is creeping into our homes, rebellion among our children. They desire to throw off the retrain of the family and rush down to hell in spite of the religious training of the home. God designed the one-last-heaven. These serpent make it a foetace of hell. Keep these serpents out of the home. It is imperative to pray for wisdom in our school life. We must recognize that education proves as to serve our fellow men. Jesus said, "Let him who would be great among you, be servant of all." Remember during school life that you we not divorced from the ties of home life. Let us never become so highly educated that we fail to appreciate our parents, who sacrifice so much to educate us. They are the rocks from the earth we are to be ashamed of the religion of our parents tho' it be the old-time religion. Let us steer our cause by the light of our mothers' religion and experience. Again it is urgent to have wisdom in our religious life. In the world there are two schools; the university of sin and the university of righteousness and grace. All on reaching the age of accountability must enroll in one or the other. The way to enter the university of sin is by having a stubborn and rebellious heart. We enter the university of grace by having an humble and contrite heart. In the university of sin, the devil is the president, his impms compose ICED TEA Made from CHE-ON 60c Tea is as good as the best made from 80c to $1 taa sold elsewhere.

Armistead, pastor emeritus, preached the funeral of Mrs. Dota Williams a loyal and faithful communicant of Zion for a number of years. Night service was well attended and two members were received into the church. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Berkley Ave. After a great soul-saving campaign, the church is again normal, only feeling stronger and more determined to stand for Christ. At the beginning of January the church had for its motto: "A Soul Saved at Each Service." We are happy to know that there have been 182 persons saved or returned to the church. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond was full of the spirit as he talked to his congregation from Isaiah 60:11; "the gate that always stood ajar." He showed the congregation how the church door should always open open until all who wish to be saved are on the inside. He compared the church to a fire station: That in order to put out the fire of sin, the station must (like the fire station) be always open and Christian-like. He also compared the church to a living, fountain, always pouring out fresh water. Among the sick are: Mrs. Lucy Hopkins, Mrs. Mary A. Wilson, Miss Funie Clark. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH: From Isaiah 5:21-2, Rev. C. M. Long preached a special sermon on: "The Five-Fold Appeal to Zion," at Bank Street Church, during the morning service Sunday. In the course of his sermon, the pastor drew a vivid picture of conditions among the Jews in Babylon which caused Isaiah to exhort them in the language of the text: "Awake, put on thy strength O Zion," which he compared with conditions that exist in many of the churches of to-day. The church should arise even today and put on her strength for the great work for the great church. The church, if she is to triumph, must break the chains around her own neck and be free. Where leadership is false, she must rise up and put it down, where the vision by which she is to be guided is dimmed, she must as is her duty clear it up. ST. PETER'S CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. E. M. Morris preached a helpful sermon Sunday morning from Matt, 16:24. Rev. Whitfield was present at the evening service and preached a strong sermon from 2 Tim, 2:3, subject, "A Good Soldier."

OLIVE CHURCH OF CHRIST S. S. was held at 1 o'clock and well attended. The lesson was interestingly reviewed by Rev. W. Tucker. At 3 p. m., Rev.

Streeter preached again at 8 o'clock from Matt 28, using as a subject; "Teaching to Observe All Things," Sunrise prayer meeting was led by Mrs. L. Harris.

LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Spiritual enthusiasm was manifested in the early morning prayer meeting and Sunday school here Sunday morning among the large number attending. The Adult class won the banner in the Sunday school. At 11:30, the pastor being absent, Rev. S. P. Dixon prescheduled a very inspiring sermon. In the afternoon, Rev. Harrell of the Holy Temple and members of his congregation worshipped at Mt. Lebanon and rendered excellent service. B. Y. P. U. program was instituted at the business of the hour. At night the pastor preached from Psalms 68:8. Next Sunday will be Missionary Day and the pastor, Rev. J. M. Johnson, of Antioch Baptist Church will preach for the Missionary Circle. Special service will be rendered at night. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Deacon Nathaniel Murry led the deacons in a brief but spiritual praise service preceding the regular preaching hour. Then Dr. Bowling announced his text: Phil. 4:11 subject: "Making Life Simple." This was very interesting and inspiring to the many hearers assembled. At night Rev. Bowling preached another great sermon. This was somewhat a sequel to the morning sermon. "A Bold Admonition," Phil. 4:9. The speaker emphasized the fact that Paul urged the church to do, not as he said, but as he did, truly this was a bold admonition. He asserted that Paul was exceedingly careful as to his reputation; he was anxious as to his personal spiritual welfare; and he pictured in a vivid way the happy reward of following good examples. In his practical application. Dr. Bowling declared that the present day minister should be a living example in the community; in his manners, dress, morals or spirituality. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. had large gatherings and the many officials were at their posts of duty radiating with the spirit of service. Because of sickness Supt. Watkins was unable to be present. The $5,000 anniversary rally was brought to an official close with very pleasing results. The One Hundred Dollar Rally leaders along with the auxiliaries and organized Bible Classes placed on the table $4,085.45. This was very gratifying to all concerned. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday, Lawyer W. P. McBain, white, was introduced to this congregation by Attorney W. L. Davis. Mr. McBain made a splendid address, bringing to his hearers a message of Christian living in which he scored hypocrisy. This church plans to have present speakers from time to time. Deacon C. F. Simms was instrumental in procuring the services of Atty. McBain. Dr. S. F.ices of Atty. McBain. Dr. F. S.monics. Much Oil In Africa (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y. May 28- African oil in the near future may rival African diamonds and gold as a source of world wealth. The quest for oil wells is in the African jungles among it all gees of mining within the sound of the rear of lions. Sinclair Corporation, according to its annual report just issued, has acquired extensive oil rights in Portuguese West Africa and is doing intensive prospecting and developing work in fields that are expected to prove immensely rich. Many wells already have been sunk. "The area controlled by the corporation in this section," says the report, "is approximately the size of Oklahoma and, with many indications of oil and favorable structures, promises to yield a large supply of crude oil." The Belfast shipbuilding industry employs 20,000 workmen. Preachers To Debate Lawyers What promises to be a hot discussion is a debate scheduled to be staged at the Second Calvary Baptist Church, June 12, in which Revs. C. P. Madison and C. M. Long are the negative and Atty. D. H. Edwards and W. L. Davis are the affirmative The question is, "Resolved: That Prohibition Is A. Failure." This is a popular question and should prove interesting. Suggests Plan To Improve Local Welfare Work (Continued from Page One) Following Dr. Devine's address a general discussion by those present on the ideas the speaker had set forth took place. Those discussing the subject emphasized the economic inequalities under which the colored race exists and pointed out to Dr. Devine that this alone made his ideas not fully workable among Negroes. Dr. F. W. Williams, Rev. B. W. Harris, Attorney E. S. Peters, W. M. Rich, Rev. F. W. Jacobs, Prof. D. G. Jacex and Mrs. P. B. Young and Abner E. Lee showed Dr. Devine concrete examples of economic inequalities that exist in Norfolk and referred to the state of the驾车 failer provide even a single park for wholesome recreation of the thousands of Negro children in the city. This revelation appeared to come as a surprise to Dr. Devine. Mr. Hall Speaks Mr. J. F. Hall of the Community Chest Fund, who accompanied Dr. Devine to the Center outlined what he felt a better plan for the conduct of this year's Chest campaign among the colored people. He advised the formation of a general committee including in its membership representatives of every welfare agency desiring to participate in the Chest campaign among the colored citizens. This committee, he thought, should work out and agree upon the plans and budgets of these social welfare agencies in a manner that would enable the colored people to present a solid front when they apply to the Community Chest Fund. What was regarded as a valuable and timely bit of advice dropped by Mr. Hall was the self-closer together, become more self supporting of its enterprises so as to strengthen its economic position. Just before the close of the meeting Mr. Rich took occasion to admonish the audience that it will not reach a position where it can support its charities until it learns that it will be better suited and learns better how to support those it has already created. The race must become producers as well as consumers, he urged. The question of a counsel of social agencies, or a general committee was held over to be taken up by the committee, roughly led by Rev. F. W. Williams for Thursday afternoon. EXCURSION EVERY SUNDAY PETERSBURG RICHMOND ROUND— $2.00 —TRIP Via— No Change of Cars N & RY W Quickest Route ONLY ALL RAIL DOUBLE TRACK LINE 8:15 A. M. M.

O. S. Bullock, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Paley. The exercises during the week were largely attended and the students acquitted themselves creditably. Their performances were a delight to the relatives and friends who crowded the spacious auditorium. This third commencement of this school is distinctive. It marks a steady advance from an inconspicuous rural school in 1909 to its present rating as an accredited High School. It is a development. It is an evolution. It is a prohecy and a promise of greater things, higher plains, and brighter glory. It carries an enrolled constitution of three hundred and eighty-eight students coming from nearby and surrounding counties. It has a faculty of fourteen well qualified instructors, and the work of the session just closed has been of a high type. Nineteen names constitute its list of graduates. In physical equipment it is growing with its growing demands. It has one three story main building, electric lighted, steam heated, water and sewer connections complete. This building furnishes accommodations for six large, airy class rooms, domestic science, and manual training departments, laboratory and an auditorium, for six a hundred. To the north of this is a well constructed two-story brick building used for girls' dormitory. Other buildings on the ground are used for boys dormitories, office, and teachers' homes. The school has a commanding location on high ground and is adjacent to the Seaboard Air Line, and Southern railroads on the north. It owns about fifteen acres of land, which is used for campus, athletic field and farm demonstration purposes. The following principals have been in the older tenure. Chas. N. Huntz from 1909 to 1917; A. H. Johnson, J. H. Bias and H. L. Triger. Prof. Trigg is the present executive head and is constantly enlarging and strengthening the plant and its influence for good. Mr. Berry O'Kelly, after whom the institution takes its name, has continued chairman of the school board from the beginning and devotes time and energies to its expansion. The Annual Sermon The annual sermon by Dr. Bullock was well conceived and impressively delivered. He was prected by a packed auditorium highly expectant.

New Greenhouse recently opened Mrs. Annie Vann Reid, of Dearborn, S. C., has achieved much success as a florist. When Mr. Reid took up her residence in Dearborn several years ago, she the wife of a prominent businessman of that quiet little city there was no florist there. Persons who wanted cut flowers and appropriate designs for weddings, funerals and other occasions had to order them from other cities. Sizing the opportunity Mrs. Reid, who possessed not only a passionate love for flowers but considerable knowledge of their culture, became a pioneer in the business. She began the cultivation of bulbs and plants in a carefully selected plot in her home gardens. Gradually the business grew, from small plot to large one; from one small green house to two; and finally to its present ample proportions, including a very large plot of land, extensively cultivated and a large modern new green-house, equipped with a McCray refrigerator and a no-other up-to-date equipment for carrying on the business of a florist. Mrs. Reid enjoys the patronage of the wealthiest of Darlington's population. Her wonderful knowledge of flowers, combined with an almost uncanny business ability, won the admiration of Darlington's leading citizens, and now very little flower business goes outside of the city. There is hardly a flower that grows that is not cultivated by Mrs. Reid's gardens and under baby South Carolina climate, which is equable almost the earl band in the Darlington section.

P. u. and Sunday school gave $5.00 to help carry on some repair work that is being done on the church. *Rev. and Mrs. G. T. Rouson were taken directly from the church and carried to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Jones, where they were served a delicious dinner. The people in the community certainly show their appreciation for the services of Rev. and Mrs. Rouson. Some one is constantly giving something or doing something for them. Editor's Note—The subject story, the first of a series we are publishing dealing with the possibilities of Negro womanhood, has for its subject Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the Daytona-Cookman Institute and of the Nu- Static Without doubt, static is the greatest enemy to radio reception. Some amateurs report knowing nothing of it, having never been affected by strays. Others have abandoned sets on account of this terrible interference. There are a number of reasons for this disturbance, some giving small effects others greater, electric lights, power mains, telephone and others. The devices that do the most harm over great aerials, are apparatuses that give disruptive discharges as do the are lights, spik coils, Xrays and high frequency machines. One are light can under certain conditions produce strays that will disturb sets at hundreds of feet away. A Wrinkle A good method for testing the sensitivity of head phones is to clasp them over the head in the usual manner. Place the tips on the tongue, if an audible click is heard the phones are good. Inferior ones will not respond. The powerful station at Ste. Assise, France is capable of transmitting 2,000,000 words a day. Tuning From the number of different kinds of circuits, sets and home made designs in current, fans will find tuning purely experimental. Though there are outfits on the market that furnish data as to what dial markings bring certain stations, the above statement is true with home made or other unfamiliar circuits. In the case of a crystal set, using in most cases galena or other synthetic substances, it will be found that these designs are most difficult to tune. This sounds peculiar, yet it is true. Most of these sets have one dial and tuning is easy, but the difficult thing is tuning out interfering stations. Before going on any way, I will lay down rule that can be practiced by any operator on any set. That is in tuning, and the dials as slowly as you possibly can, in that a difference of a fraction of a millimeter makes a depreciable discrepancy. Before a set, the delicate little wire often referred to as the cat's whisker, which touches the bright surface of the crystal must be in the right position touching as lightly as possible. Experience will show that there are a few spots that give louder responses than others, they are known as sensitive spots. Once one of these spots has been found, it should be allowed to remain, unless jarred out of position. If you have on your set, dial marked coupling keeps it in the minimum position if you notice interference. It will still have interference shorten the length of your aerial. Remember that your maximum affective range is but fifty miles, so be content to receive fro your local station with interference. Unfamiliar Sets Freedmen's Hospital Holds Finals Washington, D.

NORTHWESTERN LIFE ELECT OFFICERS AND DIRECTOR Jersey City, N. J.—The organization meeting of the stockholders of Northwestern Life Insurance Company, recently licensed by the State of New Jersey, was held Friday, 15, at the Community House. The meeting was most enthusiastic and it was visibly thrilled by the report of Harry H. Pace, who told in a vivid dramatic report of the inception and beginning of the Company and the fight against great odds to bring it to a most successful conclusion in a year of great distress to the race. Officers elected were: Harry H. Pace, president; James H. Bullock, chairman of the Board; T. A. Dickson, vice-president and director of Agencies; Charles J. Hilton, secretary; Louis C. Bulloch, treasurer; James W. Robinson, comptroller; J. P. Quander Jr., auditor, and Dr. P. M. Murray, medical examiner. The Company is establishing its home office at Newark, and will shortly begin the actual issuance of policies, after which time it will apply for license to do business in neighboring States. It has a paid capital of $100,000, and is the first old line legal reserve company to be organized in the eastern section of the country.

A receiver is likely to be acting as a transmitter, and will disturb the reception of neighboring sets. Methods of, and means for receiving radio signals which comprise combining incoming waves with locally generated oscillations and the resultant of the incoming waves have been found. The resultant composite waves transferred selectively with slight eliminations of the locally generated oscillations and the resultant selectivity, the two waves being combined. The inventor described a single oscillator at the receiver which reacts a number of times upon the incoming signaling signal and the resultant points in amplification system. When constructing home made sets, always buy standard parts. They might, sometimes cost more, but a difference of a few cents will be wisely invested in terms of better efficiency. Don't expect selectivity, volume, clarity and other good points from cheap parts. Horizontal. NAME OF GODFREY STANDS OUT IN FISTICUFFS The name of George Godfrey, the "Black Shadow" has come to the fore recently and cut a huge hole in the realm of the fastcuffing art. About a generation ago, another of George Godfrey, "Old Gothic" used as a stumbling block in the paths of heavy-weight aspirants and as a trial horse, he blasted a number of hopes sending some of the fellows back to their little country towns to hoe the potatoes and milk the cows. The Joe Godfrey of old made the sad mistake of thinking he could be rated on par against Bob Fitzsimmons, the Cornishman who was tickling the boys under the chin and making 'em laugh themselves silly. He was matched to exhilt his wares against Bob, but he came to grief when he experienced on the quickest knockouts registered. One blow was enough to register the argument and Joe was on the sad side of the moment, several moments after the opening gong, Godfrey was etherized, completely, totally and for good. But in spite of that little event, there was another of the Godreys who turned out to be a fighter of merit and one of the best colored heavies this country has produced and his first name was Geroge. George Godrey was the first Senegambian champion of America and proved his ability in many a hard fought battle. He won three great battles with Peter Jackson, the dark gent from Australia, who was credited with going to a draw with "Gentleman" Jim Corbett over a route of 60 rounds. The fight was staged some time in 1888 in California. George was able to go nineteen rounds. The going was too strong for him and he succumbed in that stanza from the terrific jolts administered by Peter Jackson who was too large and too much for George. This meant he gained a fighting spirit and gameness that won the admiration of the crowd and was given a rousing cheer when he left the ring. Jackson had the advantage of forty pounds.

The white man has reached the point where he can't fight his battles without calling in the black man to help him. As it is in war so it is very much so in peace.

It has got to be a habit with certain white newspapers in the South to speak as having authority for the Afro-American people in the matter of segregation legislation, which has grown so outrageous that walking on the sidewalks in some sections of the South has become dangerous because you may accidentally jostle some white person and get mobbed for so doing. Apologize don't count with those so offended, who know that if they chastise or murder the innocent offender on the spot, the law and public opinion will declare that "It serves the nigger right." This rule works fairly until whites get tangled in it, as sometimes happens, and then it doesn't work so fairly. It is going to keep on working that way with white folks more and more encroaching on the privileges and immunities of white folks, until a stop will be called to the abuse. The Southern white declaration that "separation of the races in all social, civil and economic affairs is best for both races, and the best class of Negroes accept this as being true," is a brazen assumption. There is no truth in it. The fact is the best class of Negroes accept the injustice which runs through all of the segregation business because they cannot help themselves, and they protest against it while it is being forced upon them. We don't get "separate but equal accommodations in travel by land or water, or in the maintenance of the dual school system, or the double standard of wages and discrimination in the class of employments, nor in appropriations for improvements in segregated districts; we get the segregation but we don't get the equal accommodations of treatment or appropriations, and any white man who takes it upon himself to declare that "the better class of Negroes know that such separation of the races and their common interests is best for both races," speaks without authority and is simply over familiar and insolent. He speaks his feelings and not ours, and he has no more justification for doing that than we would have in speaking his feelings in a way equally false. The Afro-American people are not a race of cowards and snacks. They do not accept wrong and injustice because they think such best to preserve the good relations between the races; they accept such because they cannot now help themselves, and they enter their protest against all such. They would be unworthy of the high calling of American citizenship if they did less. "Right forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne," was never intended to be the final word in the proper adjustment of race groupings in any given environment, and never will be.

The Community Center Although the Community Center is forced to get along this year on $1,720, which amount is considerably less than the $4,000 budget its directors presented to the Community Chest Fund, and which was later sealed down to $3,600 and finally boiled down to $1,720 by the fund managers due to the disinclination of the public to donate good money to an unworthy cause, it is ever difficult to see wherein any constructive benefits are accruing to the people through the expenditure of the latter sum. Community service properly organized and projected may fit beneficially in any community, but as it exists in Norfolk nobody seems to Although the Community Center is forced to get along this year on $1,720, which amount is considerably less than the $4,000 budget its directors presented to the Community Chest Fund, and which was later sealed down to $3,600 and finally boiled down to $1,720 by the fund managers due to the disinclination of the public to donate good money to an unworthy cause, it is even difficult to see wherein any constructive benefits are accruing to the people through the expenditure of the latter sum. Community service properly organized and projected may fit beneficially in any community, but as it exists in Norfolk nobody seems to be able to credit it with any tangible accomplishments or worthwhile intentions. Candidly, what the public is getting for its expenditure of $1,720 this year thru the Norfolk Journal and Guide Community Center appears to be shrouded in doubt. It may be, however, as some people would have it understood, that community service is a thing very difficult of appreciation on the part of the public—a thing rarely understood—a thing clothed in an almost impenetrable mystery that makes those who seek to discover the activities of the Norfolk Center appear childish—a thing ephemeral that effuses itself about the community, conveying a balm of wonderful benefits to a public unconscious, unsuspecting and unappreciative of its high value. If that is true, then it is quite possible that we are getting the worth of the $1,720 of public money in a full measure of something we neither see, hear nor feel. Group meetings, it is understood, constitute the prime activities of the Community Center. To make the thing, plain, however, group meetings as held at the Center are simply the meetings of a number of social clubs, a couple of welfare organizations and various other groups, most of which are strictly private in nature and none of which, excepting possibly two, exist for any other purpose than profit to themselves or interests they represent. These the Community Center has claimed as its groups by the simple expedient of affording them a meeting place, receiving fee when the group feels liberal minded enough to pay one. The Center exercises no influence over these organizations, did not stimulate their existence and the organizations themselves are not of a public character that would entitle them to a meeting house at the expense of public funds. But the Center must have some kind of a report of its work, so it simply lists every meeting of every character in the building as one of its group meetings. Outside of this camouflage for usefulness, it engages in no other community enterprise. In this white elephant—the Community Center as at present organized and functioning—the public furnishes the means to pay a secretary $90.00 a month, a house rental of $60.00 a month and the costs of other incidentals for no other purpose than to provide lodge rooms for private clubs, some of which also pay for the use of the building. It appears that the secretary's salary has been placed at quite a lucrative figure even in the face of the fact that he cannot devote more than a small portion of his time to the work because of his avocation as school teacher. Someone has credited the late Jay Gould with the statement, "the public likes to be fooled." While this sentiment appears to fit the situation as it is it would also seem that the Community Center has adopted as its slogan the more vehement utterance attributed to the late Cornelius Vanderbilt: "the public be damned." --- Health And Welfare By NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (For Associated Negro Press) Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Court of Public Health and Public Opinion sitting in the case of the Health Murderers Row vs The People of the United States of America is now called to order. The culprits have been apprehended, the evidence is in and the prosecuting attorneys have made their case. What saith Public Opinion to the fulfillment of the laws of Public Health? You ask what has this got to do with the sixes and sevents of the everyday life and struggle for sufficient of the world's goods to hold buckle and tongue together until the Death Rider overtakes us. Well, just this: Each normal, rational individual is responsible for the cycle of days allotted him or her by the scheme of life preservation and race perpetuation. Each person who is sick, with the loss of wages and cost of medical care, or dies before his life span is spent, with the greater loss of earning power, and perhaps with the causation of dependency in his family, seriously affects not only the security and welfare of his immediate loved ones, but, through the disability placed upon the family as the basic unit of community and race welfare, retards the group and general progress which must finally overcome the negative factors that keep us from effecting equation and balance with the current standard and ideal of well-being and well-doing. Who are these murderers of life and opportunity? Are they thugs of the underworld who strike you down only when duty, accidents or adventure take you into their daring and dangerous haunts; or who catch us unaware when they stray from their benighted hang-outs into the orderly abodes of the community? Nay! Not this modern day group of executioners which separate thee forever and a day from this, that and thine. Rather it is more like suicide or homicide, and if the prosecuting attorneys did not know that "you can't eat your cake—," or we better say "kill your cat—and have it too," the indictment and conviction would fall upon Public Opinion for being content to let nature take its course while Nero fiddles or the cow jumps on law-makers, law breakers, health boards, school boards, welfare groups and ill-fare groups, big folks, little folks, all folks and all things until there is money enough, health and welfare knowledge, and service enough, will enough, desire enough and sense enough—after all it is the rare vintage of common sense—to make as certainly and generally QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY BY GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere If of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. How early in history did Negroes make their appearance in America? A. According to the latest developments in archeology, the Negro made his appearance in America between 1150 and 1200 A. D. or about 250 years before the time of Columbus. Prof. Weiner, of Harvard, and Prof. Spender, well known American archeologist maintain that African Arabs (Negroes) were the real founders of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations of America. These Arabs established a trading province, on the west African coast at Mindango and voyaged west. Michoainan, Mexico, being the landing point. In reviwing the remains of these civilizations it has been found that Arab names and words were very current among these peoples and that their word effective as possible the benefits of the good old slogans: "Take care of your Health" and "Keep Well Beats Get Well." These diseases are due not to the plagues and blights of the yesterday's black plague, yellow fever, shallpox, typhoid fever and their ilk. The knowledge and genius of disease germs, prevention and control through disinfection and sanitation formulas and devices have chased these arch-fiends of pestilence and disaster forever, we hope, beyond the vale of secure and happy existence. The new crop of death dealers abide within the confines of our own human indifference and intemperance. We eat too much and neither use it up in vigorous healthful physical exercise of work or recreation, nor properly eliminate the waste by regular attention to habits; we don't eat enough green food and coarse food or drink enough wholesome milk and pure water; we use up nervous energy in rush and worry and excitement which would give poise to our conduct, methods to our reason, and safe and sane direction to our lives and purposes; we don't get rest or sleep in quantity or quality as determined by the essential conditions of relaxations, ventilation, and seasonable hours of retiring and arising and well, we don't treat either the animal self or human self (mind and spirit) in the ways which will make us worthy competitors of the feathered and furred families of field and forest, which live close to nature according to her laws and require no bookkeeping of vital statistics for preventable diseases and premature deaths. But who in the heck wants to have feathers and fur in order to live the allotted days? Don't laugh; we ain't a wishing this on you; but there is no gainsaying the fact that we are animals and that the biblical adage for the slothful, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard," is manifoldly true with reference to the natural examples of the lower animals in the matter and methods of physical well-being to those who think and act as if living right isn't directly and definitely hooked up with the air and sunlight, water and food, exercise and rest, and the other natural quantities and requirements of nature. Now, hold on to this part of the proceedings until the next session of court and you will get more of the evidence and less of the argument. Oh yes, we know the cart is before the horse, but we are unhooking not hooking up this time. Meanwhile, if you have not had that annual physical examination (including semi-annual pilgrimage to the dentist) see your doctor while both of you can see and before the doctor can see but you can only be seen. (Family and friends invited. Omit flowers.) Hear Ye! Hear Ye. Hear Ye! The Court of Public Health and Public Opinion sitting the case of the Health Murderers Row vs The People of the United States of America, is hereby adjourned subject to continuation at the next session of the court.

When Columbus arrived in America he found that Negroes preceded him and they were known as the "Black Merchants from the Southeast." The gold which these merchants carried was peculiar in that it was alloyed with copper and known as "gold guanines." These guanines have been found in great numbers in Southeastern America and in Africa. Therefore there seems to be an abundance of evidence that sustains the proof that Negroes preceded others to America and instructed the Indians in the Arts of civilization. Also many of our present fruits and vegetables were first brought over by these Negro Arabs from parts of Asia and Africa.

TID BITS Japan is the largest market for American softwoods, taking more than 800,000,000 feet from the United States last year. Army experts found that the best gas mask could be made out of the charcoal resulting from burned coconut shells. This substance absorbed more gas than any other found. A device which sends out wireless distress signals from ships automatically has been invented. The SOS call and the latitude and longitude of the stricken vessel are given. A machine has been designed in England that will tell the time of ocean tides in any part of the world fifty years in advance, and it will also give the time of all tides during the last 500 years. Dwellings which are supposed to date back to 7,000 B. C. have been discovered by workmen digging along the shores of the Lake of Zurich. A parrot in a London shop is said to be 70 years old. It loudly calls "Time, please," when it is time to close the shop. Only once is a pearl mentioned in the Old Testament. France's national flower is the fleur-de-lis. Japan has three Rotary Clubs. A French prisoner recently was allowed to leave jail to marry his fiancee, but he returned immediately after the ceremony. A literal translation for the Persian word for wine is "sweet poison." Ninety per cent of India's population cannot purchase anything except the bare necessities of life, says the Department of Commerce. Many scientists believe that fish can hear. In the seventeenth century leather coins were used in parts of Northern Europe. The most unusual pipe line ever built by an oil company has just been completed at Ventura, California, to load tank ships off shore. The line rests upon the floor of the ocean and extends nearly half a mile out to sea. When tea was first introduced it cost from $30 to $50 a pound. The Zulus believe that the earth, moon, sun, and stars and indeed everything, was created by a Supreme Being called Mvelingquangi; i. e., "The First Appearer," though these seems to be no idea as to within what period all these things were made. There is a tradition to the effect that all people originally came from a single pair, and this pair sprang from a bed of reeds; but where such a bed is to be found, tradition does not say. At the same time, if pressed, a Zulu would probably locate it somewhere in the North, seeing a deeply-rooted tradition of their having descended, from that direction is widely prevalent, not only among them, but other allied peoples like the Bajutos, Kosas, Swazis, and Tongas. A certain fairly well-defined section declares that its ancestors "rolled" down from the North in a large basket." It is reported that the Zulu race today is the finest colored race in the world. There is hardly a man under six feet tall. They are good subjects to their chiefs and are a clean-living, law-abiding race. Two young men of Boston while on a journey through India witnessed an exhibition by a fakir in a small village. The fakir was performing the usual experiment of making a rope descend from the clouds and a man came down the rope, who ascended by the same route after having had his head cut off. The exhibition was in an open square before a thousand spectators, and every one saw plainly what was happening. The two Bostonians had cameras with them, and took numerous snapshots of the exhibition in its various stages, intending to write an article on the subject illustrated by photographs. But when the plates were developed, the wonders had vanished. There were the fakir and the people, but no decapitated man and no rope. The onlookers had evidently been hypnotized into seeking the fakir's feat, but he could not hypnotize the camera, and it revealed the truth. London, England, expects soon to have a garage with a revolving floor. Thus a car parked on the floor can be brought around to the door by the rotation of the floor.
