DISCRIMINATION AT CITIZENS' MILITARY CAMPS PROTESTED War Department Rules Require 50 Colored Men To Form Unit. Letter Indicates No Room For Less Number. REGULATIONS WOULD BAR EVEN 48 MEN New York, N. Y., June 24—Acting Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis has let it be known that there seems to be considerable doubt as to young colored men having the opportunity to attend the citizens military training camps unless they can present themselves in groups of fifty. By his own statement, it seems to be the policy of the Department to discriminate against colored applicants for admittance to these camps, the plan being to formulate them in groups of their own race. Fifty applicants from a community must present themselves before the War Department will consider forming them into a unit. New York—Many inquiries having come to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, about the status of colored men in Citizen's Military Training Camp, the A.A. C. School, the Inquiry to the U. S. War Department, receiving a reply from Dwight F. Davis, After Secretary of War. In his letter Mr. Davis states that, if 50 colored men in any district are accepted for the camp, they will be organized into a training unit. In reply to this communication from Acting Secretary Davis, James Weldon Johnson, wrote the following letter: "Your letter of June 10, responding to my inquiry as to what training will be given colored men in the Citizens' Military Training Camps stated the fact that the War Department intends to discriminate against colored men by requiring that at least fifty colored candidates shall be ac- NEW YORK NAMES SQUARE IN HONOR OF RACE SOLDIER Bullard's Effort To Discredit American Fighting Men Of Colors Effectively Refuted In Tangible Memorial. New York, N. Y. June 25—General Robert B. Bullard's effort to discern the valor of Negro soldiers in the Great World War, received a great set-back here this week when for the first time in the history of New York City a city square was named in honor of a Negro. The soldier so honored was Dorrence Brooks, late private of the fighting Fifteenth. Colonel William Hayward who commanded the Fifteenth New York Infantry, and William T. Collins, president of the Board of Alders, and Mayor Hylan dislaced strong resentment of General Bullard's charges of cowardice against the colored troops in France. Mayor Hylan denounced the publication of the Bullard articles in strong but eloquent terms. The dedication of Dorrence Brooks Square was preceded by parade of scores of colored organizations, north Avenue, west through 135th street to the square which is a triangular piece and lying between Edgecombe and St. Nicholas avenues, almost within the shadow of New York City College. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925 MAJOR GRIFFITH WALKER AGENTS TO PROBES VETERAN HOLD NATIONAL HOSPITAL CHARGES CONVENTION IN AUG. Summer Ushered in Year's Longest Day Uncertainty shrouded the entrance of the actual summer season Sunday. That is, the weather conditions were not definitely good or definitely poor. Slight showers and dark clouds contrived to do away with the warm summer and clear weather, which marked at least the first half of the longest day of this year, which was last Sunday. For Sunday was exactly fourteen hours and forty-five minutes of daylight, officially. The sun arose here at 4:45 a.m. m. to be accurate, the summer season began at 10:45 Saturday night and spring ended so far as official and technical records are concerned. Norfolkians, however, now have summer jobs. They have swollen in the intense heat, run for cover in violent storms, and taken on a slightly different complexion, whether the change is perceptible or not. Spring has absolutely been as changeable as the proverbial March hare. Cool or cold and hot or warm waves, according to the viewpoint, have come and gone just as nonchalantly as spring changes of weather have a habit of doing. Just a day or two before summer actually got here there was a war, and since it seemed to care for nobody or anything. At any rate we may be in June those days of which the poet spoke when he said, "What is so rare as a day in June—then, if ever, come perfect days." Notwithstanding, in spite of, and regardless of all this, summer is here officially, after an extended unofficial and perhaps unwelcome visit. RPV I. Local Observers Declare Jones' Allegations Were Inspired By Ambition For Promotion As Business Manager. (By Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 25—An investigation of charges made by W. L. Jones chief engineer at the U. S. Veterans' Hospital No. 91 located here has been concluded by Major Charles M. Griffith chief of the staff of the hospitals of the country. The inquiry was made because of charges made by Mr. Jones who visited Washington after he resigned from the hospital several weeks ago, and it is claimed by Col Joseph H. Ward and others who are said to have been involved that Jones' attitude came about because of his personal difference. Jones' resignation was refused at Washington and he was ordered to report back at the hospital until his charges were proved. Alleged Incompetence The allegations made were that officials were incompetent, that a government property was used by private individuals and that government trucks had transported private goods. The specific instances according to the information which Major Griffith is said to have obtained involve the visit of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra to Tuskegee, an organization which played some songs ago to a capacity crowd of Tuskegee residents and patients at the hospital where they were held in the Institute chapel and in an effort to transport them safely to Montgomery, Jones charged that two hospital trucks helped to carry their baggage to Cheah the station five miles away after the performance. The other charge is said to concern Col. Ward who loaned his personal car to take government officials from Washington to Montgomery the they missed the train. They are alleged to have traveled on government gasoline, however, and Colonel Ward who is said to admit that they did, states that the few gallons were charged to transporting government officials. Observers here, declare that there is little to the charges and (Continued on Page 4.)

SAYS THEY EQUAL BEST TROOPS IN WORLD (By N. A. A. C. P. Service) New York City—Congressman Hamilton Fish, of New York, who commanded colored soldiers in France, has written a vigorous letter defending colored soldiers from the imputation of cowardice and unfitness cast by General Robert Lee Bullard in his article in the Herald-Tribune. Mr. Fish's letter, published in the Herald-Tribune, June 12th, stated: "I have read with amazement the story of the 92nd Negro Division by General Robert Lee Bullard, and as much as I dislike to differ with such an eminent American General, I would be derelict in my duty towards those Negro soldiers in the Old Fifteenth New York who paid the supreme sacrifice. I did not hasten to deny the glittering generosity of our "General Robert Lee Bullard's article shows a degree of animus against the colored soldier which is unusual from an army officer who should be familiar with deeds of heroism performed by Negro soldiers in all our wars: the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, colored, under the gallant Col. Shaw in the Civil War, the 98th Infantry, colored, under the rushed to the port of the Rough Riders when the fighting was hottest, and the 24th and 25th Infantry along the border and in the Philippines. Places Responsibility On Bullard "I do not know whether General Bullar comes from the far South as his name indicates, but I do know that his indictment of the Negro soldiers to be absolutely unfair and unwarranted. I do not question the facts presented by General Bullard but differ utterly as to the conclusions. It seems to me that the responsibility for the 'profound discouragement' in the 92nd Division rests largely on General Bullard's shoulders as the provisional 93rd Division (colored) fought splendidly and had exceedingly good performance." "General Bullard says of the 92nd Division, 'the General who commands them can't make their fight,' and again, its Division Commanding General is not a military man." If this particular Generals was not up to his job why did not General Bullard replace him? Why is it that the four colored American Infantry Regiments attached to the French Army fought variantly and that three of these regiments had their flags decorated with the Croix de Guerre for gallantry on the field of battle. No one questions the fighting abilities of the American Negro Regiments loaned to the French; their heroic achievements speak for themselves. They endured all the hardships with their troops, with high cold and faced death from high explosives, shrapnel gas and machine guns with the same fortitude, loyalty and courage as the other American Divisions. “The Negro Troops far from being 'discouraged' were known to the French as 'les Joyeux' or the happy ones as they carried out orders without grumbling, and made the best of the conditions with which they had to contend.” Division Never Had A Chance "The answer is that the 28nd Division (Negro) in General Bullard's Army never had a fair chace from the beginning. The men were lacking in training and the junior officers were inexperienced and not accustomed to command. Many of the soldiers were recruits who had never seen a rifle in their lives, drafted from the colony and spent months before being ordered to participate in a general offensive. Some of the soldiers actually went into battle without ever having fired a rifle. Unlike other Divisions, they had hardly any experience in quiet sectors but owing to the need for all available troops were rushed into the September of offensive.

The bout was witnessed by quite a few who took deep interest in the affair. A guy who seemed to be the referee got in the way of a stray blow and was jabbed with the rain protector. The bus was crowded to capacity just before it reached Wood street, loaded most of its passengers and that we were the little cockroach put in its appearance and was immediately challenged to combat by the lady.

Last week a field day was scheduled for the colored athletes, in which a baseball game, boxing and other events were to be featured, but the program was called off on account of rain and staged Thursday. The above speaks well for the Norfolk and Western and shows that it is giving its employees the advantage of clean and wholesome recreation as well as a place to earn a living. Such things as these make it a place to work, provide a source of pleasure as well as work. Of course, the Norfolk and Western has the first concern in this city to foster athletic activities for its employees, but it is the first that has done it on such an elaborate scale. More concerns of this kind, in time will greatly improve athletic conditions locally. Plop! Again When the Eureka baseball nine played its series with the Winston-Salem Pond Giants it was the general impression that this marked the beginning of a lively season, but from present indications the season is as dead as it ever was. Those games only proved to be the beginning of the end. It is too bad that these things cannot be continued throughout the season. Football seems to be the only game that can have a good period. Basketball was a flop last season, but this can usually be attributed to the bright prospect and that's not saying much. The games mentioned above seemed to have indicated good prospects in baseball for the season. aka baseball nine played its series well, as it was the general impression that a lively season, but from present to it ever was.

Boxing is not the objectifiable and disreputable sport which some of our ardent reformers paint it as they would like to have it to be. Boxing has surmounted the heights and taken its place with the other sports of this country and each year it gathers in a large number of followers. The ring heroes from the days of John L. Sullivan up until the present time have emulated the game greatly, grabbing it out of the ancient cut and placed it upon a level plane with the best of them. The most dugilous of pugilism are over and this is plainly evidenced by the great success of the game and reflect credit upon it. Boxing has turned out as finer manhood as any other sport and the blue nose brothers of a number of states have been left sprawling on their backs without being able to hold themselves. There is no reason why boxing should not enjoy the same popularity in Virginia as it does in other states. It does enjoy the same popularity, but not without the restrictions that are placed upon it in State laws. There are a number of boxing followers in this State. We receive heartily a law permitting the game to be staged here as elsewhere. But here, as in some other states, the Blue Law aptitors continue to provoke the legalization of boxing, in spite of the fact that the legislators feel certain that their constituents are eager for the great Such men as William Muldow, Brower, Recop, Buttle and James J. Barley, who head boxing in, the leading states have done a great deal in helping to give boxing its present status. Surely Virginia has men who are as fully competent as these men to head a Boxing Commission for this State. It is high time that every state in the Union legalize such a popular sport as boxing and cut short the ballyhooing of the blue noses Blue Law agitators. Black Bill Again the Cuban flyweight is tickling these this column predicted when he fir- ill has been meeting with success scraping with regularity. He is t Black Bill, the Cuban flyweight is tickling these silly Americans under the chin as this column predicted when he first came to this country. Black Bill has been meeting with success ever since he's been free from scrapping with regularity. He is to hook up with Cory, Izzy Swartz; the flashy little New York State Guardsman who pokes a naive wallow; Saturday night at the Commonwealth Sporting Center; the well-wishful that Bill will be forced to step some in this bout as Izzy is no man's play toy. But the Cuban's number of followers believe that he has the necessary stuff to take the measure of the little Hebrew. New York, June 18—A decision was reached Monday after a long conference between Charles A. Stoneham, owner of the Polo Fund bouts which features Harry Wills and Charley Weinert, heavy-weight and Mickey Walker, and Harry Cueb and the huddleweight title to have the bout which was scheduled for June 19 to be held July 2. Harry To Be Named Heavyweight Champion Will Be Elevated By New York Commission With Gene Tunney As Challenger; Bout Be-Between The Two May Be Staged In September At Polo Grounds. (Special to Journal and Guide) New York, June 18—Harry Wills will be elevated to the heavy-weight championship of the world by the New York State Boxing Commission, which body has a far reaching influence in the pugilistic realm and will be recognized as such by the entire State with Gene Tunney recent victor over Tommy Gibbons, the St. Paul veteran, as logical contender. CROWD OF FANS SEE TARS WIN BEFORE LANDIS It is expected that Jack Kearns, manager, in name only, of Jack Dempsey, the present title holder will make formal announcement at almost any hour of Dempsey's retirement from the cauliflower can industry. The result of the announcement, which boxing authorities predicted would come within a week, will be to elevate Wills to the heavyweight championship of the State Athletic Commission and at the same time to the affairs of the film of Mickey Walker, world's wetterweight champion who has bright prospects ahead. It is generally believed that Jack Kearns has reached the point where he must drop the man who will not fight and take the man who will. No Alternative It is plainly evident the commission has left Kearns no alternative and has frankly informed him that he cannot operate in this State until the Wills-Dempsey affair is cleared up. Kearns must show down or automatically be kicked out of the pot and it has been stated that if he decides to come clean on all points the proposed bout between Wills and Tunney will be a title affair. It is already known that Wills has a challenge posted with the commission together with a forfeit and unless something tangible is soon done it will name Harry the champion. SAITCH AND MRS. CORNIC WIN IN OPEN TOURNEY **E. THOMAS W. YOUNG** New York, June 20—In the finals of the men's singles of the E. and S. Tennis Club op tour, men ordaining a Saitoh championship. Smith for city championship in five gruelling sets replete with tense moments, brilliant plays and flashy shots to the count of 6-4; 6-8; 6-3; 3-6; 6-1. A higher calibre of tennis and a better spirit could not be expected. Smith took the lead at the outset, winning his service at love, but this opponent would not be outcome, and retaliated with another love game. Saitoh however, never took the lead until the count was 4 all from whence he won the initial set at 6-4. Like unto the first, the second set was full of dazzling top-drives, lobs and volleys, often drawn out into long plays which required several minutes action to be forced to travel fourteen games before winning at 8-6. Saitoh's next set was a bit easier, negotiating at 6-3 after Smith had trailed the entire route. Short showers interspersed considerably with the brand of ball displayed in the final three sets, often breaking in upon a game or set and causing the players to discontinue action several minutes. Smith's cunning placement and occasional drives clearly won the last set at 6-1. However, at no moment could anyone win when Smith was still in the last game in which Smith dealt the pills, with the count "thirty-forty" Saitch sent a drive down the alley线 for the last point. Both players lacked the necessary confidence toward the end to continue that brilliant scientific American driving game that so thoroughly thrilled the gallery the first time, so to cutting game—not the "chop" cut, but a clear cut, Smith failed to use his service to an offensive end as often as he might have. Only very seldom did he attempt to "ace" his opponent; on the other hand, Saith kept plenty of steam behind his hands, effectively effectively. The loser's game was by no means a poor one—it deserves laudation and encouragement. The other interesting match today was the finals in ladies singles featuring Mrs. E. Cornick and Mrs. S. Madison who yesterday defeated Mrs. Leonard, a ranking player in a final-match display. Displaying the stamina and confidence necessary to the success of any tennis player, especially female ones, Mrs. Cornick, by use of clever drives and wiard placements, puzzled Mrs. Madison into defeat at 6:2; 2-6; 6-4. The gallery often came to its feet during some continued volley in which neither player would give up the point until the other's skill had deserved it by a wide margin. Little droplets of rain began to tinkle upon the sod as Mrs. Cornick caught her opponent near the net and dropped one over her head for the last set point. We would like to cut the trophies into two parts and let all of the finalists share in them, but alas! we can't. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE CROWD OF FANS SEE TARS WIN BEFORE LANDIS Last Saturday found the colored grandstand and bleachers filled to overflowing when Norfolk was scheduled to play a game here with the Kinston Eagles of the Virginia league before the czar of organized white baseball, Judge Kenesaw M. Landis. It was rather an auspicious occasion. The grounds were decorated. The air was filled with the martial strains of the famous Excelsior Band, which is composed of crack Negro musicians. The chatted with the managers, Robertson, faced with the umpires, whom they were. The game started on time. The first inning was a corker; flashy plays, rabbit-like has-running and a bragrage of sluggage which re-echoed from the triple height fence at League Park. There were a few vacant seats in the white section. The crowd was estimated between 4,000 and 5,000 souls, all afame with the spirit of the day. After that first inning things happened quick and fast. Norfolk had won a double header the day before and via that had gone up from sixth to fourth place in a day. She was fighting for a secure hold on fourth by clean up on both teams, though misinning rather marred the good work. Then in the final innings, the seventh and eighth to be exact, Dave Robertson led his team to victory by a series of rattling rallies. The final score was nine to eight. Proctor started on the mound, but was relieved by a recent college pitching ace, Lindberg. He lasted until the ninth, after the game out. The ball leaked across. Clarkson, Pitches One Ball Clarkson, speed ball a tist, pitched one ball and the game was over when an easy fly went to the field. Lindberg got credit for the victory. Norfolk by victories, and a few losses, at Rocky Mount and elsewhere during the week was still in fourth place at press time. Fans noticed a tree over on the westward side of the park swaying from side to side as if tossed by a mighty storm at different periods during the game. Upon close inspection, it was found to be swaying due to the monkeyistic tendencies of a nervy young lad who was determined to see the game and get some home made thrills when the game offered none or only a few. It might be of passing interest to note that he swayed little in the first inning, or last three or four innings—there were countless thrills in the park during those stanzas. The fans showed their appreciation of the good baseball that was shown during the game. It was a real good of what support a real good and representative team among the colored population would get. OLD DOMINION SOCIETY MEETS (Continued from Page One) read a paper "Ruptured Ectopic Gestation."

RACE LADS WIN IN MEET FOR HONOR TO DEFEND N. Y. (Special to the Journal and Guide.) New York, N. Y., June 20.—Considerable upsets and a distinctly unfavorable decision against Cecil Cook, sensational Syracuse University, Negro runner, marked the tryouts for the National A. A. U. track and field meet to be held next month in Los Angeles. Negro track and field athletes composed a small percentage of the competing athletes at Travers Island today when the Metropolitan Association conducted its tryouts, but they won places on the team that will go to California next month and made a showing considered very good by many observers old in judging track excellence. At the conclusion of the tryouts which furnished a spirited competition and a greatest number of upsets than have been scored on the historic Travers Island track in some time, the following men were chosen to represent the Metropolitan section of New York: Charles Major, Salem Crescent A. C., former New York Negro school boy star, now at a New England preparatory school, who won the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 1 inch; Jackson Scholz, Oliver McDonald, Joe Tierney, Johnny Holden, Allan Helfrich, Jimmy Connolly, Raymond Wolf, Walter Ggan, P. Courtois, Sylvian Scholpp, Nelson Sherrill, Pat McDonald, Matt. McGrath, all of New York. A. C.; Chester Bowman, Cial Christiensson, Herb Myer and John Leyden of the Newark A.

Theobald, Joe Campbell and G. L. Taylor, who will make the transcontinental hip at the expense of the New York A. C. Negro Beats Conquerer of. Nurmur There were not a few, as the New York World says, who believed that Cecil Cooke, Negro runner of Syracuse heat Allan Heffrich out or second place in the 440 yard dash. Heffrich is the only American or orign runner credited with a victory. Nurmur from scratch, and is undoubtedly a great runner, but this is the second time that Cooke has raced Heffrich off his feet. In the indoor season Cooke forced Heffrich to a new record to beat him at 600 yards. This time he beat him, in the opinion of every fair minded person on the field, but he fails to get the decision when he was close. A New York daily says the following concerning this race: Allan Helfrich, recent conqueror of Nurmu, was forced into second position by Joe Tierney in the final heat of the 440-yard run, and there was not a few who thought he earned no better than third place, for he appeared to have been nipped at the tape by Cecil Cook, the Syracuse Negro. New York A. C. Strong The New York A. C., strengthened 100 or cent by recent additions from the college, athletic ranks, _sent winners into ten events at the tryouts. Other places were scattered over and among the various clubs. Gus Moore Kuns Weil Gus Moore, holder of the world's high school record for the mile, met three seasoned athletes today who were a few pounds better than he did no better than fourth in a mile which was run in 4:23 and a fraction, which is about five seconds faster than Moore's best time and not slow for any living runner. Moore is a colored lad of Boys High School. He ran for the St. Christopher Club. Many other race boys made good showings.

Poor weather conditions during the spring held up an early opening and as yet the courts have been used enough or worked enough to put them in their best condition. They are rapidly being turned off for championship play, however, and will be comparable to the best among of people in the State because of more days pass. Many of the players have failed to date to reach their best form, but are putting in many hours each week in preparation for future matches. One more week will probably see all the local players at their top stride and ready for the season. Prospects are bright for successful series of matches culminating in the local classic, the Tidewater Tennis Tournament, scheduled for the latter part of the summer, the exact dates not definitely decided. It is understood that a few vacancies are, open to players who play in the Tidewater Club. It is urged that these be taken advantage of before long, as the popularity of the club is on the increase and vacancies will not last Hale's Service Available at Wholesale Rates to Undertakers everywhere Connections in all principal cities.

Berkley, before a good showdown of fans, the score was 13.2, and the Elks can't be convinced that thirteen is an unlucky number and portends anything but good luck. The Elks easily found the visiting pitcher, Monroe, for nine hits in seven innings and the relief pitcher, Smith for four hits and proved their claim, it is said, to being champions of Tidewater Virginia. E. Hill did the mound duty for the Elks, allowing the visitors but four scattered hits.

There Mrs. Harrison questions him and learns that Stoddard is her son by a former marriage which she has kept secret from her husband. The story comes to a thrilling climax when Stoddard saves the life of his landlord, and Mrs. Harrison tells her husband of her long hidden secret. The story is a powerful condemnation of the present day evils of rent profiteering and one that will make lasting impression.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE AT THE ATTUCKS NEXT ICENE FROM "ACHILD FOR SALE"—IVAN GRAPHIC FILM CORP THE FASHION MUSEUM BIG STAGE HIT AT THE PALACE Entertainment is guaranteed for all the theatre-goers by the management of the Palace Theatre next week in the announcement of the coming of the Gibson's T. O. Wilson series of which say is one of the season's best and biggest shows yet. The Palace has been responsible for a host of good photo dramas and corking good musical comedies and revues, and this coming week is expected to be one of the best in so far as a vaudeville show which is literally an avalanche of fun and excitement in the conditions of the theatre permit it to remain cool at all times and the patrons of the Palace are promised a comfortable afternoon or evening if snent at the well-known Church Street show house. Some of the featured members of the Gibson Trio, consisting of "Little Albert," "Baby Corine" and "Gibson"; "Grasshopper" is the fun show of the show and vows he can make every day with his hilarious antics that they will jump and laugh like the insect after whom he is named. Wilton Crawley, the "Human Worm," completes the list of featured artists reputed to be a terror to the Blues. See the show at the Palace, the management declares, and you can't stay blue long. The show is booked for the entire week. New York—We are off on a six weeks' trip to cover 9,000 miles to promote a nation-wide interest in the ranks of the United States A.T. A' tournament at Bordentown, August 23-29. From the Hudson to 'Frisco along the Mexican border and back again in time for the New York State to open the week preceding the Nationalists. And what cheer to return and try to redeem oneself by gaining a little more experience, Anyhow it was auspicious last week in the E. & S. Tournament, for which that noble sportsman, the Hon. Adlph Howell, who's business is one of New York's finest institutions has donated a most beautiful trophy to fall before the drivers of Mr. Phipps, an old-timer who seems destined to meet him and all his kind who have determined to win with a real American drive the international crown. It's a secret that all may learn. You are never too old or too young to start driving unless you have vowed to go down in the annals of Negro tennis as the champion, push, pat and stroke artist. Best wishes for your eternal downfall. But let me add the sweet bit of all--your driver's skill and your right pass you from the mob of also-van to the lionized hero of the gallery—first because they are surprised and secondly you have done the thing their favorite has many times with chop strokes come so near yet never really registered in a undeniable way. Remember tournament players; that you pay your entry fee to beat somebody and then he happens to be a former chop, so much the better. The chop was invented to be as upset. You might not be willing as anyone. Why not? Fight to win and you will and when you have your man going serve an ace on match point and beat him a love set if you can. Don't forget though that a good studious tennis enthusiast when beaten goes back more zealously than ever to his brick wall and spends the last "two spot" for another copy of Blackmore or Little's Tennis Tactics; and reads, re-reads, memorizes and goes out to see the great players of two tenins win and lose match; carefully analyzing the game; carefully analyzing the opportunity to see Tilden, Richards, Alonzo, Miss Wills, Mrs. Mallory or any of the top-notchers—to see them recover the ones always labeled by the "bub" unretturnable, opens up new vistas in the possibilities of your game. Try standing on your toes when waiting for service instead of flatfooted and you will not have so many paces put over keep moving, when you make a turn go for your next position near the center of the court.

There are only two correct positions on the tennis court. Think about it and your opponent will not catch you off balance and so far away quite as often. The cardinal fault of rushing your shot is a dash will not be necessary. The person who makes the least number of errors and returns the ball one more time than his opponent always wins the match. Decide to be that lucky one. Luck in tennis is concentration and persistence. For the first time, you must keep your theory in mind on the court; in other words think and keep at it. You cannot accomplish this last requisite for winning matches—persist e n e y—without training. You must have unrelenting stamina to win hard-fought, long-drawn-out matches. You have to start for the next before you become the best before being the next ten, cut out smokes, sweets, cheap gingerale and other beverages. Of course you don't have to do any one of these things but remember, the winner of the championship in 1925 will be as in the past when the comes needed nearly to ob serve these necessary regulations. Discrimination At (Continued from Page One) captured before any-colored man is given military training at any camp. That is, of course imposing a condition upon colored men that is not imposed upon any other group of citizens. Moreover in communities, and I have no doubt that there are many such communities, where less than fifty colored men present themselves it deprives of the other of their willing colored young men of the opportunity which it is their due, and, which is paid for out of funds for which they like all other Americans are taxed. "Under the circumstances I do not understand your statement that 'the War Department is keenly alive to the importance of apportioning to the colored people their share of both citizenship and military training and intends to allow them their proper representation, the best that will fit in with the entire problem of national defense.' It would seem to me that the best conditions and the only tolerable conditions would be the acceptance of colored candidates who prove themselves fit and worthy on exactly the same terms as are A Carnival Of Youth Beauty And Gaity Kissing A Woman Is Like Taking Olives Out Of A Bottle SEE THE PICTURE-EAT OLIVES Starring— Creighton Hale, Gladys Leslie, Julia Swayne, Gordon, a.n.d Bobby Connelly accorded to any other United States citizen."

(Continued from Page One) "General Bullard goes on to say that 'the Negro it seems cannot stand bombardment.' Such a statement is simply silly and shows that General Bullard does not know what he is talking about. I am quite sure that neither General Mangin or General Gouraud of the French Army both of whom commanded colored French troops ever had any such idea. General Mangin who had as much experience with colored soldiers as any General in the World War, was most outspoken in its proclaiming that if properly trained and led, they were equal to the best troops in any army in the world for bravery and fighting qualities. "Firstly, they have much bet." ter regular army authority than General Bullard on the conduct of American Negro troops in war, Col. James A. Moss, a graduate of West Point who served 18 years with colored troops and commanded the 372 Infantry in France, says if properly trained and instructed, he can possess a soldier as the world has ever seen. The history of the Negro in all of our wars including our Indian Campaigns show this. He is by nature of a happy disposition, he is responsive and tractable, he is very amenable to discipline, he has faith and confidence in his ability, he possesses all of which are valuable military assets. "General Pershing says, I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work."

"If anyone questions the bravery of the American colored soldier let me relate the story of Sgt. Butter of Co.

"Let no man question the bravery of the colored soldiers for he either does not know what he is talking about or he is prejudiced. "I do not know General Bullard and have no personal controversy with him but simply out of justice to those seven hundred colored officers who paid the supreme serifice, the five thousand, who were wounded and the four hundred thousand and the four hundred forces of the United States, I wish to take opportunity to protest, deny and repudiate the charge of cowardice against the American Negro soldier."

The stern voice of the Sheriff calling the court to order broke the silence that had enveloped the intensely interesting mass. The grand jury was escorted into the chamber and before the judge rendered its findings. Quickly its member's chains were loosed the chains was heard and Jim and Hebe Ballard were brought in. Following closely behind them came the two women with an escort of the law. The quartette was led to the prisoners' box, from where they all plead, "Not Guilty." It is now 2:15 p. m., and court has adjourned until tomorrow morning 9:30 o'clock. Tuesday Session This entire day has been consumed in an effort to fill the jury box. So far only 7 have been chosen, the venire is exhausted and the venire in the jury 125 is expected to put in an appearance tomorrow morning. Beginning of Trouble "The slaying of Deputy Sheriff Eason is said to have been the outgrowth of his arrest of Noah Ballard jr., some days previously on a charge of having seduced his, Ballard's cousin. When it became known that the girl was approaching motherhood, young Ballard, it is charged, left the community, but eventually returned. Sheriff Eason hearing of Ballard's return to Gatesville, went to the home if Jim Ballard, where he believed Noah might be found. Hot words are said to have ensued between Jim and the Sheriff when the latter put in an appearance at the court. Ballard having declared that officer would not dare to enter his (Ballard's) home and arrest him, and if he did it would be upon the pain of death, it was alleged. Noah Ballard jr., was arrested the following night. Eason then went again to Jim's home, this time to serve a warrant on the occupant on a charge of resisting an officer, the mealtime. Eason organized a two-week company him to the house, providing one of them with an automatic pistol. When the party reached Jim Ballard's home, his wife responded to the knock on the door holding a kerosene lamp in her hand. When the door opened a fuselade of shots poured forth meeting Sherif Eason straight in the face. Simultaneously, it is claimed, Cora Ballard, Jim's wife, blew out the light. Eason fell back into the arms of one of the men who had gone with him to the house. He was mortally wounded. His companion, the automatic pistol is said to have tried frantically to use it, but owing to his unfamiliarity with the weapon, was forced to give up the weapon. Both he and the third man who was unarmed turned to their heels and ran to escape the hail of lead that was pouring out of the door of Ballard's home. News Quickly Spreads News of the killing swept thru the county like wild fire. A posse was quickly organized and the search for the murderer instituted. All of the accused were quickly rounded up, Jim Ballard being the last to be captured. He was taken when hunger forced him to leave his hiding in the woods and come out in the open for food. The prisoners were locked up in various jails, Jim being taken to Raleigh for safe keeping; Hebe to Winton and the women were taken elsewhere. Bond was sought for Mrs. Cora Ballard, who was an expectant mother, it is said. Fearing that she would be summarily dealt with by the incensed popu-ing to Buckroe Beach on June 30, and all indications point to a happy time.

Trouble Said To Go Farther Back It is claimed by neighbors that had feeling existed between Sheriff Eason and the Ballard's for some months previous to the shooting, and was the outgrowth of the arrest of Noah Ballard sr., father of Jim, Hebe and Noah jr., on a prohibition charge. In this connection, it is alleged, the older Ballard while out on a road came across tourists who were having motor trouble. For assisting them he was given a bottle containing whiskey. On his way home, it is related, he was accosted by the Deputy Sheriff. His arrest followed. In court the old man was acquitted, it being evident that his was an inadvertent violation of the law. But his sons, it is claimed never forgave Eason for causing their father's arrest. More Allegations At the time of Sheriff Eason's death, he was said to have been only recently appointed to office. He was quite active in liquor or cases, the story goes. It was also stated that efforts were made by a number of citizens to persuade him not to attempt to serve a warrant on Jim Ballard that night at Ballard's home, inasmuch as Ballard could be intercepted at various times as he passed thru Gatesville twice daily on his way to and from the lumber swamp where he was employed. He was in Gatesville the day preceding the night of the killing, it is asserted. Where Interest Is Centered Much of the interest in the Ballard case is centered around the women, as to the actual part they took in the shooting. It is alleged that there was a general beating of Eason after he was shot, and the women are said to have freely in this case, so this alleged attack was locked up from courtroom gossipers the reporter leaving the scene for his home in Norfolk before the taking of testimony began. From the physical condition of Cora Ballard at the time of the affray, it is not generally believed that she could have taken any considerable part in it.

WHITE did I ride with an exceptionally cultured group. And they were no better mannered than the average citizen with whom I rode on the trip down. To be a participant in the fifteenth anniversary celebration of one of the leading colleges for the education of Negro youth is an inspiration, that really inspires. Such was our happy lot at Knox College from June 1st to June 5th, and the hundred graduate found their way back to their alma mater to witness the fifttime commencement, and to bless the institution that mothered them in the days of struggle. They came from the East and the west and the North and the South. They were all enthusiastic in their loyalty and devotion to the institution that gave them a chance. The campus grounds and environs were covered with automobiles from the most luxurious to the modest Fort. Cornish with a knife—refinement could fill the atmosphere and wit sparkled like the stars in the firmament. More than two hundred alumnus sat down in the banquet hall and for two hours oratory, wit and song and college yells rent the air, while good eats kept all in good humor. McCulloch, McGranahan and J. Kelley Giffen, the three presidents of the past fifty years came for round and round of applause, eulogy and praise. Some times it is said, that the old-time missionaries who came from the best famine in the north presented to Mr. J. Kelley Giffen, the present president of Knoxville College, has proved himself to be a chin off the old block He holds the effection and confidence of his students and has won the respect and endorsement of that vast body of the alumni that visited the institution, saw his achievements, and read his outline for the future. A man in whom the spirit of Christ is, with the vision of a statesman and the voice of a prophet, J. Kelley Giffin is building a greater Knoxville College with the zeal and missionary spirit of the sixties and seventies. Another thing that inspired was to note how the Negroes of Knoxville. Tenn., are building homes of comfort, beauty, even luxury. This is indeed an age of home building for the American Negro Whale. The Negro churches of Knoxville are fine and costly as ours here in Norfolk, their worship is more orderly and cultured, and refined. I noted this in both the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Z. Churches in which it was my privilege to worship. Progress is always inspiring and I have seen progress in my recent trip that thrills one who loves his race. Federal Judge Declares That Under Present Regime Only United States Naval Officers Are Allowed Beverages (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., June 25—Former Federal Judge Lucius J. M. Malmin, of the Virgin Islands, after arriving in Washington to fight for civil government to replace naval jurisdiction in the islands, declared that only a naval officer must drink there under the present regime. Prohibition laws are being enforced on the island, he told Secretary Wilbur, under the guns of the navy. The possessions, he asserted are "practically going back to the bush and becoming less and less valuable to the United States." The English flag, he declared, is the only one carrying mail to the islands. Oil-burning vessels, he added, have taken away a source of revenue formerly available through coal loadings. The Volstead Act he claimed has kept off the manufacture of rum and bay rum, with unfavorable reaction on sugar and mash production. Judge Malmink declared the navy dominated the administration of justice in the islands and that he would seek to have this situation changed. EDUCATIONAL SURVEY A survey of higher education in Tennessee was recently made under the direction of the Federal Commissioner of Education. A report of the survey was made at a meeting of the Tennessee College Association recently held at Carson and Newman College, Jefferson City. Dr. Geo F. Zook, specialist in higher education of the bureau of education, was chairman of the survey commi- READING CIRCLE Teachers' reading circles are conducted or sponsored by State departments of education in 27 States and pupils' reading circles in 18 States. Home education circular No. 7 on "Teachers and Pupils' Reading Circles," issued by the Department of Interior, Bureau of Education, lists the States promoting such courses and describes the conditions under which they are offered. The most inspiring trip I have enjoyed in recent years was my visit to Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn., upon the occasion of 50th anniversary of that institution. A. There we were many things that made for inspiration experience on this trip. I will paint colored people act and dress when in transit in our public carriers, and it is a Rev. D. F. White's inspiration to any thoughtful person, who can remember distinctly, the manners of Negroes on railroad trains, say 30 years ago. In those days, colored people, both men and women could not sit still, nor keep their heads inside the coaches, and some times their feet would find it interesting and cool to hang on the outside of the windows while the train was dashing along at twenty-five or thirty miles an hour. In those days colored travelers it proper to be intensely sociable—men thought it an opportune time to find sweethearts, and make love; young women it a compliment to their attractiveness to be approached and flirted with in the Railroad porters thought the railroad company had employed them for the special business of mashing on every pretty girl who happened to be traveling over his line. Colored people seemed to think that a ticket in a passenger car entitled them to bring in chickens, pigs, sacks of various things and bags of various kinds. It was also thought that since this was a country of free speech every one could talk as long and long as he wishes. Every public had no rights as to how we dressed or undressed in those days. But how things have changed since these crude days of our early emancipation. On a trip of four or five hundred miles, I saw nothing of these crudities. The people I rode with were well-dressed, well-behaved, cultured, refined and siderate of their neighbors, soft-speaking. There was no wind out of the window, hawling out at friends at the stations and at the car, quiet conversation, or reading or needlework employed the passengers enroute from Norfolk to Knoxville, though these colored people represented the common people of the Negro race.

PYTHIAS AND CALANTHE SHOW MARKED GROWTH Organizations In Healthy Shape Reports of Officers At Annual Sessions Disclose The annual session of the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe held in Portsmouth last week gave out information reflecting a very healthy growth of the organizations during the past fiscal year. Extracts from the annual report of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, Mr. Eugene West of Norfolk, showed that for the half year from December 1, 1924, to June 1, 1925, there were 618 new members added to the Knights of Pythias branch in the State six new lodges were established 813, new lodges were in death claims and the total receipts for the same period were $26,730.74. The total number of lodges in good standing in the State is 171, and Mr. West reports in cash balance to the credit of the Order $6,713.57, with rights of Pythias have assets of $58,000, which are involved in the liquidation of the defunct Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond. The growth of the Grand Court of Calanthe in membership and their financial condition are equally important to the report of Mrs. Fannie Ash, Grand Register of Deeds. LAUDS BRAVERY OF PULLMAN PORTER IN TRAIN WRECK Death of 47th Victim Occasions Statement From Manager of Excursion Train Which Was Wrecked. New York, June 20—The Rev. John Hansen, Chicago, died today. He was the 47th victim to die from the recent wreck near Hackettstown, N. J. The news of his death drew a statement of high commendation from Leopold Neumann, praising the hancum of a New Yorker, Oscar Daniels, who died saving the lives of many of the passengers. Neumann, just before he sailed on the United States liner America today for Germany, said that many others beside the 47 already dead, would have lost their lives in the Lackawanna Railroad wreck at Rockport Sag, N. J., recently if it had not been for the bravery of Oscar Daniels, the Negro porter from Chicago, who himself died of scalds. Mr. Neumann, under whose supervision the excursion was being conducted, said that Daniels, after the accident, groped his way thru the third car and closed the door, which kept the onrushing steam from entering the fourth car. This gave the passengers in that car the opportunity to escape. SOCIAL CLUB AND BIBLE CLASS HOLD A JOINT MEETING The David King Bible Class of the First Baptist Church met with the Norfolk Social and Beneficial Association last Sunday at the headquarters of the association in the Elks Home. Mr. T. C. Williams was the principal speaker. He pointed out such contacts as the two bodies might find worthwhile and to their mutual advantage. In this connection he explained the necessity for association by men whether in a Bible Class or in a social organization, "not only for the inculcation of public spirit in its members, but for their immediate personal benefit as well." He said, "it would be a fine application of fraternization for the members to warn young men of the dangers of infection from social diseases and a finer arrangement of application of fraternization to send the members are already afflicted with these diseases to hospitals where they may obtain the best treatment." Mr. Williams suggested that the organization might profitably turn their attention to the problems of the working men, including occupational diseases, sanitary working conditions, etc. "Men only awake," said he and "feel the urge to improve them selves and their fellowman as Christian keepers of the earth and lifts them into a higher sense of fraternity and brotherhood. As we take on the spirit of helpfulness and allow it to pervade cur membership, we reflect the spirit of the Christ who came into the world that men might not only have life, but have it more abundantly."

Northern spent the GENERAL RUSSELL'S RECALL ASKED FOR BY THE HAITIANS Patriotic Union Of Port-au-Prince, Sends Letters to Secretary of State Asking Recall of High Commissioner. (By Associated Negro Press.) Port-au-Prince, Haiti, June. 25—The following letter has been sent to the Hon. Frank B. Kellogg American Secretary of State, in the name of Haitians by the Patrician. "We have the honor to write you this letter to pay our respectful homage to you and to take the liberty to call your attention on the necessity of the recall of Mr. John Russell, American High Commissioner to Haiti. "Mr. Russell is the author responsible, or nearly of all that we are suffering actually under the regime of the Government of Mr. Borno, elected on the 10th of April, by incompetent councillors of State." “If, in 1921, the Senatorial Committee of Investigation of the United States had taken account of the protestations and murmurs of the audience, which assisted here at its sessions when the name of Russell as pronounced the latter would not have been maintained in Hawaii at any time whatsoever to enumerate all the grievances against Mr. Russell. The Haitian Government or what replaces it, does nothing without first submitting it to the legation of the United States, and that, in virtue of a verbal note exchanged between the legation of the United States at Port-au-Prince, and the Haitian Government. Mr. Russell is the soul of the present regime of occupation of the United States, and if as preamble to the great measures of reparation the American Government decided to give them that satisfaction. "But, that is not all: The Haitian people are deprived since 1917 of their legislative representation. Gen. Cole and Gen. Butler have related before the Committee of Investigation of the United States how they have taken part to the dissolution of the Chambers. "That has been of course, an unconstitutional measure. Since then, we have no legislative chambers. It is a body of functionaries nominated by the President of Haiti, that functions in its place. You understand, Sir, what is the danger for us to see that our laws and services doocles and devices, nominated by the executive power, which itself dares not do anything without the approbation of the High Commissioner. "We, therefore, beechey you to pass orders to your representatives in the Island, so that, we might have the legislative elections on the 10th, of January, 1926, date forseen for that by the Constitution, which Mr. Franklin Roosevelt has boasted to have given us." week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D.

PAGE EIGHT CAROLINA DAILY SUGGESTS PRISON CAMPS MUST GO Greensboro Daily News Denounces Inhuman Guards Killed Prisoner and Advises Revision of System. Greensboro, N. C.-Demand for remedy of conditions prevailing in North Carolina prison camps is voiced by the Greensboro Daily News as the result of the brutal flogging resulting in death, administered by two white guards to a Negro who had been committed for 30 days on a vagrancy charge at Rocky Mount Camp, N. C. The Greensboro Daily News heads its editorial on the two white guards, who have been sentenced to 20 years in jail. "A Pair of Abysmal Brutes," and says in "According to the evidence it would hardly be possible to find or earth or elsewhere any person to whom such responsibility could less properly be entrusted than this pair of murderous degenerates. One of their wards they beat for a period of about 30 minutes, one apparently using a hey cudgel while the other piled a whip. If he had not fallen to the ground under their blows, they threw or knocked him down after, and either invented or adopted one of the most brutal cruelties of the dark ages. Heavily shackled, he was to a pair of mules and dragged for some 75 yards. The victim was ordered to get up, and failing to comply, received another blow from the first of one of the men. He made a fife of the emperor to rise, fell again and died in half an hour. It was devilish fortuity which brought those two loathsome creatures together in the opportunity to sicken the State." In another editorial the Greenboro Daily News states: "Sooner or later North Carolina will be forced to recognize the fact that the prison system us it now prevails must be overhauled in its entirety and possibly thrown away altogether.

DECLARES SEVERAL AVENUES OPEN FOR RACIAL GOOD-WILL Dr. Haynes Thinks American Trade Emmisaries Can Do Much To Spread Gospel of Brotherhood Of Man. E. Northfield, Mass., June 18—Speaking here today before the Association of Executive Secretaries of Federations and Councils of Churches, Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary Commission on the Church and Race Relations, Federal Council said in part: "We have several avenues for a sane approach to racial prejudices and for understanding and removing them. One of our greatest approaches is through education. Never before has there been such great need that we should train our children and young people in contextual and ethical conditions of their relations to various racial groups. Our schools and our churches must become avenues for teaching these principles. "Through travel and through contact with various peoples and countries both old and young come to new attitudes and people. Among those who represent us in trade, in commerce and in politics must understand that they too are either the messengers of goodwill or the carriers of ill-feeling and prejudice depending upon how friendly and considerate their dealings are with other groups and races. Especially this true as representatives of more advanced races come in contact with weaker groups in less advanced races. "Finally, the great solvent of race prejudice, friction and violence between racial groups is religion. That is, real religion that carries into practice the ideal of brotherhood set forth by Jesus Christ. This calls for more than a spiritual profession; it demands practical performance in industry, in housing, in neighborhoods, in schools, in colleges and churches in every place where people of different races and colors meet along the highway of everyday life." Supervisors of public kindergartens are provided separately in 59 cities, according to data collected by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education.

J. A. JACKSON OF 'BILLBOARD' FAME NOW OFF THE STAFF "The Page," After Four Years With Theatrical Publica- tion, Finds His Department Discontinued. (For A. N. P.) New York, N. Y.—June 25—J. A. "Billboard" Jackson, who has made his name famous in theat- rical, fraternal and business cir- cles, has retired from the edi- torial staff of Billboard, after more than four yrs of splen- did service, during which time "Jack" has put the famous theatrical publication on the map within the group such W. H. Donaldson, publisher of the Billboard, some time ago, informed a representative of the Associated Negro Press, that the venture was an experiment, but he hoped it would pull through all the way. Mr. Donaldson is a man of lofty ideals, and absolutely square on a matter of justice. But, the Billboard, is a business proposition, and not an adventure in mere sentiment. Jackson covered and produced magnificently from the editorial standpoint, and the readers within the race went up by leaps and bounds, but the advertising end, with which Jackson was not respond, was still relatively measured up. Hence, the directors, in keeping with the general policy of economy, decided to discontinue the department together with two others. Mr. Jackson was given a most heavy letter of tribute and recommendation, signed by Mr. Donaldson, and all of the other officials of the company. He was given a month's pay, and a substantial bonus by Mr. Donaldson, that he would probably travel anywhere to recommend Jackson for any position. Mr. Jackson, who lives at 281 West 140th Street, this city, will consider several offers now before him, before deciding on another venture. For almost a score of years he was in the intelligence community, and travelled all over the world. He is a man of fine personality, character, ability and experience. He has written for many metropolitan publications, and is the eastern representative of The Associated Negro Press. He is a 3rd degree Mason, and one of the founders of the Deacons, a Mason organization of traveling men, was one of the members of the National Colored Fairs Association. Mrs. Jackson is just recovering from an extended illness. MONROE Monroe, N. C.—Services at Mt. Calvary, A. M. E. Zion Church were largely attended Sunday.

New York, N. Y., June Yi- James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., has written a letter to Messrs. Doubleday, Page and Co., who are to publish a book containing General Bullard's articles appearing in the New York World in which he slanders Negro troops of the late war, calling attention to the libel and asking that those chapters be rounded before the time they are published. In his letter to the World re- futing General Bullard's aspersions Mr. Johnson said: "The most unjust and defamatory article that has yet come to my attention is the installment of General Robert Lee Bullard's book, published in The Herald Tribute of June 9, on the subject of Negro troops in France. General Bullard does not seem to have any facts. He utter generalizations to the effect that Negroes are inferior, that they are racially inferior, and by the tenor of his article, with its race prejudice and its aspersions upon a group of American citizens, shows himself to be completely out of accord with the fundamental principle that a man shall be judged on the basis of his individual worth and achievement. It may contribute to an understanding of the article of General Bullard's to know that he was born in Alabama, one of the Southern states with the worst reputation for its treatment of colored people. Cites Praise of Negro Troops "Fortunately, there are a number of other military observers of the highest standing from General George Washington down to the officers in the A. E. F., whose observations belie the generalities General Bulldar sees fit to base upon his experience to cite President Lincoln's commendation of the conduct of colored troops in the Civil War. "In reference to the A. E. F. I may cite General Sherrill, Colonel William Hayward, Colonel Arthur Little and Major Hamilton Fish, all of whom repeatedly and in public have spoken and written in the warmest terms of the devoted the unloving cheerfulness and the unexcelled bravery of the Negro troops under their command. Moreover, two of the officers I have named expressed amazement that any troops could hear up under the cover of a result column and indignities visited upon the colored men in their command by white men and officers presumably harboring just such an attitude as is revealed is the article of General Bullard." —Mrs. Ella Hayes, who has been living in Baltimore for the past six months, spent Monday in Phoebus, as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Evans, of Webster St. Mrs. Hayes had been called to Smithfield, Va., to visit her father who was ill.

Celebrating Third Anniversary THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. M. N. NEWSOME, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, whose third anniversary as pastor is being observed this week. Dr. Newsome came to Ebenezer at a time when the church was passing through one of the trying periods of existence. Certainly there was a group of members loyalty standing by the church organization, but dissension had done much to threaten the morale of the congregation. The new pastor came at the call of this loyal group, immediately sized up the situation, renewed his trust in the Master and began to work assidiously to steer this historic church again on the course to progress.

TID BITS Of the many interesting sights in the City of Algiers, on the North African coast, one of the most striking is the great hordes of old Arabs sitting carelessly around in coffee houses and pretty parks. When the tourists steps off the steamer and enters the town the first thing that attracts his attention is, of course, the strange dresses of the native women and the flowing mantles and headgear of the men. The second thang that attracts the attention of the curious tourist is the fact that the whole Arabian city seems to be filled with old men, none under fifty, and many so old that the creases in their faces are half an inch deep. These old men never work, their days of labor are at end. Just as soon as an Algerian had raised his family to the point where that family can work the old man is told to take a rest, his children will support him. He gets a few packages of cigarettes, some money for coffee and goes down town to spend the days in gossip, arguments and poetic imaginations. Unless something terrible happens, the old man never again takes up the burden of hard labor, but sits around and offers sage advice and the strange fact is that the children are actually delighted to keep the father in luxury and ease, while inside the house the routine is handled by the mother while the daughters either sit in the shade or go out to gossip with the neighbors. Constantinople, Turkey is the most cosmopolitan city in the whole world. It is a place where a man who cannot speak at least two languages well is considered as beneath notice.

Gilliam jr. clerk of the church, gave a sketch of Rev Payne's life. Declared Unnecessary There is much indignation among Richmond people over the killing of W. P. Claiborne, an unarmed colored man of King William county by State Prosecution. Nice Rose it is said was that Claiborne tried to wrest his revolver from him. He fired once breaking the colored man's arm and then fired through his heart. He saw mash, it is claimed, on the dead man's overalls. A still was found in the neighborhood. For Colored Schools Prof. Miles W. Connor, a leading member of Union University's faculty, writing to the editors of the Richmond Planet and St. Luke Herald, refers to photographs (which ran in the Journal and Guide a few years ago of the women who stand at the head of Negro schools in Norfolk and asks why is Richmond so different in this respect from other Virginia cities. He says: "Every Negro must have felt proud when he saw in the Journal and Guide of a few months ago the photos of some of the women who stand at the head of the Negro schools of Norfolk. * * * * "Now, Mr. Editor, I am anxious to know why Richmond should be so far different in this respect from all other cities in Virginia and the South. Is it due to the fact that there are no colored persons in the city competent to assume the principalship of these schools? Have not the city schools in all these days been able fully enough to spire men and women to complete such courses as would them for these positions? The writer beware that are men and women in Richmond just as capable in all respects as are these persons who are so successfully conducting the Norfolk schools. " * * * "Until the present condition is changed, each family should hang upon its walls this group photo of the Norfolk principals in order that the Negro youth of Richmond may know that. Negro principals are an actuality somewhere." Three Playgrounds Open Here The playground work among colored people in Richmond since its revival in the summer of 1923 has made rapid strides toward satisfying the needs for supervised play among the children of the city, who before that time had only the streets and alleys for their playgrounds. The efforts displayed by the Colored Playground and Recreation Association of Richmond were so commendable that upon application of that body to the Community Fund it was accepted as a Community Fund member. In Germany a single man who makes only $1,000 a year must pay an income tax of $82, as compared with nothing in this country, but the man who makes a million has to part with only $347,630, as compared with $429,645 in the United States. ```markdown ``` Journal and Guide Bureau 1212 St. John St. ROBERT A.

Y.—Wm. C. Graver, student secretary National Council among the colleges of the country and R. P. Daniel, lay leader of the student "Y" and instructor at Union University Richmond, Va., sailed this week for an extended trip thru Europe. They go to study the Christian and other Youth Movements of that Continent. The leader of the party, under the Fellowship of Youth for Peace, is Brent Dow Allison, poet, writer, student and secretary of the National Student Forum. The party will take in the following International gatherings: International War Resisters' Union, London; World Federation of New Education Association, Edinburgh; New Education Fellowship, Berlin; International Peace Conference for Youth, Holland and others. A survey will also be made of the Youth Movements of France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. Colored Student C. M. A.'s have endorsed the trip of Blesses. Graver and Daniel will use both men upon their return in the promotion of the study of International Good Will among the races and for the creation of a greater interest on the part of colored students in International and Interracial questions of the World. SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS TO BE A TENNIS CHAMP I have just finished reading Mr. Wim, T. Tilden's new book, *Mini Play and the Spin Ball* for which I wish every colored tennis player who reads the following quotations taken from his chapter on the All-Court Game would read it over about six dozen times, think about it, memorize it and digest it. Second paragraph, page 111. "Every tennis player who desires to succeed in the future must equip himself with every shot in tennis and then strive to explore the mysteries of tennis (or when I, Mr. Tilden) am speaking of the last word in tennis technique, the ultimate in stroke production, let me for a moment sound the warring that on the rock of first principles the new game must be built. You cannot learn the fine points without complete mastery of the fundamentals. Most players star over the importance of dhino practice which modern tennis in fact any tennis is impossible." Mr. Tilden follows with these lines in italics: Keep your eye on the ball and Keep your mind on the game. for the enlightenment of the brethren who have little or no conception of what it's all about. I ask you to glance again at the preceding paragraph and not the lines with the phrases "on the rock of first principles" and "mastery of the fundamentals." *Attention 1924 Negro A. T. A. Champions and all the darker members of the tribe. If you cannot afford to buy Tilden's new book, Blackmore's "Tennis Up-to-Date," or any of Parcel's fine treatise, you can get some idea that will captivate and disturb the cobwebs of seventh grade by going down to Mr. Saldling's store, and for twenty-five cents each, take the owner of pamphlet No. 76R, No. 103R and 104R, printed by the American Sports Publishing Company and designated as Spalding's Athletic Library. In the first book turn to page 24 and note illustration; then in book 102R turn to page 63 and see where a good server throws his baff and how he reaches it on tintones. Finally turn to page 45 and observe the picture of Mr. Vincent Richards, the position of his feet and body weight, with his eyes glued on the ball, executing a perfectly timed low volley to his opponent's weakest side, the backhand. These glimpses may be experienced in less than five minutes and even one who can hardly read may get a faint impression of what Mr. Tilden is driving at when he speaks of the bedrock of the plays, and fundamentals of a modern tennis. By a second look at these illustrations it becomes quite obvious that the soundest method, as Mr. Tilden outlines it, is to first lay the foundation of every tennis game: 1. Learn how to drive on the forehand and backhand. 2. The next essential in the service, then the net game is the structure that you raise on the foundation of your drive by mastering the volley and smash, and finally, last not first, produce the decoration of the: the modern tennis game a chop or the ornamental push cut or drop in the party there is no excuse today in the party there is no excuse today with free schools, libraries and so on w.r.a. looking, colored, journalists, a n.d publishers. May their kind multiply in proportion as the self-owed and blinded ones rush on to their rightful oblivion.

The Party Primary When a delegation of colored voters called on the city Democratic committee in Newport News to inquire the committee's attitude towards the participation of colored voters in the August primary they were cited the clause in the primary law which limits the participants to certified Democrats and Democrats to bona fide whites. Commenting upon the incident the Newport News Star says that as "the primary—a political affairs are now handled—names those who will be elected, the Negro is completely barred from any part in helping to say who the officials shall be." Continuing the Star says: "The next important step is to find some way to obtain the right to vote and make that vote count for something. The most important thing is for the Negro to qualify himself and then make it a sacred duty to vote at every election for some body." That is sounding the correct note. The Democratic primary is in a safe position to enforce its peculiar rules as long as there is not a qualified electorate on the outside large enough to invite, or sustain independence in the Democratic ranks. There are no inducements now for any man, however able, to bolt the machine-made primary and carry his fight to the people in a general election. Four-fifths of the qualified voters are already in the Democratic party. But that is not true of the potential voters. If the eligibles would qualify and stay qualified the Democrats would have quite a different condition to face in the general elections, and the air-tight primary would not be with us long. The remedy lies in building up an electorate capable of giving serious opposition in the general elections to the dictum of an unfair primary system. That is one way to reform the system.

Does Virginia Legalize Usury? Some years ago the General Assembly sought to remedy the practices of loan sharks who were preying upon the poor and oftimes unfortunate masses through the lending of money and the exaction of usurious interest charges. The present "Uniform Small Loan Law" represents an attempt to modify the degree of the evil and to bring the business of making and collecting certain small loans under State supervision. To anyone who has had occasion to Some years ago the General Assembly sought to remedy the practices of loan sharks who were preying upon the poor and oftimes unfortunate masses through the lending of money and the exaction of usurious interest charges. The present "Uniform Small Loan Law" represents an attempt to modify the degree of the evil and to bring the business of making and collecting certain small loans under State supervision. To anyone who has had occasion to look into the operation of the law since its enactment, however, there must occur serious doubt as to whether it is accomplishing the purposes its framers intended it should accomplish. Has the law put an end to usury or has it merely legalized usury in Virginia? A closer study of the Act as it is working out also gives rise to serious doubt as to its moral soundness. Does it not actually encourage the making of debts by that very class of people who can least afford to go in debt? A follow up of these questions will reveal some very conspicuous flaws in the "Uniform Small Loan Law," we think. There is something unmoral about a law that permits a lender to charge a gross interest of forty-two per cent on a loan. The fact that this takes the form of three and one-half per cent per month on unpaid balances does not mitigate the usurious effect on the borrower. For if one should by any unforeseen circumstances become unable to meet the installment payments on the loan the gross rate goes right on working. It was recently brought to the attention of this paper that a person who procured a loan of $85.00 about a year ago from one of the Norfolk companies owes at this date $127.00, the difference being accrued inter- Editorial Page of est. This borrower had financial reverses in the nature of loss of employment, death in his family and much illness. Now that he has found employment the loan company is entitled to collect until the debt is paid all of his wages above the paltry $12.50 per week allowed him by law for the support of himself and family, consisting of a wife and several children. The loans are made on household furniture or personal property of most any kind as security. Very unstable collateral the loan concerns say, and for that reason set up a plea in justification of their high interest rates. But the State which grants them the legal right to exact such high interest charges also makes their loans a lein upon the borrower's wages or salary collectable by garnishee. Therefore the State grants the small loan concerns the right to exact a charge for their money which appears usurious and the State sets up the machinery for the collection of these charges. The collateral is not so unstable when this is considered, because a man must work to live and if he does work he must pay this usurious rate of interest on his loan. The loan companies are doing a legitimate business, yes. But they are engaged in a species of legalized exploitation which undoubtedly demoralizing to the working classes. As the general trend of modern thought in both politics and economics is in the direction of improving the conditions of the disadvantaged we submit that the matter of usurious loans which are liens upon the wages of working people is a proper and vitally important subject for the consideration of our next General Assembly. est.

Our Soldiers in France Vindicated By The Record General Robert Lee Bullard of the Regular Army, who held high command in the World War, had the misfortune to be born in Alabama and to be educated at West Point Military Academy, and, although it should not be so, he appears to be unable to General Robert Lee Bullard of the Regular Army, who held high command in the World War, had the misfortune to be born in Alabama and to be educated at West Point Military Academy, and, although it should not be so, he appears to be unable to throw off his inherited and acquired prejudices against the Afro-American as a citizen and as a soldier,—especially as an officer in the armed forces of the country. There is no obvious reason why General Bullard should have to wear blinders when evaluating the Afro-American as a citizen or, as a soldier because he is a Southerner, as most Afro-Americans are, and a graduate of the West Point Military Institute, which is supported out of the taxation of all of the citizens of the country, and which places those who receive free education and a life job which they are free to make the most or the least of, according to their gift, under peculiar obligations to all those whose bounty they receive. The man born in the South and the man educated at the West Point Military Academy will outgrow his prejudices against race and color and rise to the full measure of American citizenship by rendering unto all groups of the citizenship the things that are theirs and reserving unto himself the things that are his. Time and education are eating at the vitals of race and color prejudice in estimating the citizenship of the United States. If General Bullard had known in advance without consulting the record what he was to receive for writing in his war memoirs, being published by a syndicate of newspapers, a sweeping condemnation of our soldiers in France, stigmatizing them as inefficients, cowards and rapists, we doubt much if he would have plunged headlong into such a whirlwind of refutation and condemnation as he has and is receiving at the hands of those who are in a position of having authority. They appeal to their personal experiences and to the war records, and they refute General Bullard at every point and put him to such confusion as a man of his high standing as an officer has seldom before been forced into. We have made history, we made plenty of it in the World War, and we have happily reached the place where we can write history. Among those who have come to the defense of our soldiers in France, and in helping to refute the allegations and baseless assumptions of General Bullard, we are all gratified at the splendid way in which Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University, who was Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, 1917-1919, has answered the General for us all. A full reading of his long statement covers the case entirely, quoting the official records of our own and the French War Office, and proving conclusively that our soldiers covered themselves with glory. It makes splendid reading. It is history of which we are proud, and we are justified in regretting that General Bullard and many other American officers of less authority than he have undertaken simply by their assumptions to falsify that history and to seek to belittle the race in the eyes of their fellow-citizens and of foreigners. The French do not understand it, but we do, and we resent it all the more emphatically because we do. Norfolk Journal and Guide Convict Labor Outraged and Avenged In a recent address President Coolidge called the attention of the people to the fact that encroachments upon the functions of the states was increasing because the states neglected to discharge those functions, and it became necessary for the Federal Government to discharge them to protect its own interests. Because of this tendency on the part of the states to neglect their obvious duty a larger and larger measure of government was passing from the states to the Federal Government, which is subversive of the letter and spirit of our institutions. The President did not think this was good and safe for the Nation. Neither do we. Take the case of North Carolina, which has jurisdiction over mob violence and peonage abuses in private and convict camps, the grand jury of Edgecombe county has recently indicted two guards for the murder of Joseph Armstrong and indictments against two others, a former guard and a former captain of the camp, charged with murder and assault on prisoners. Two days before these indictments were entered, twenty years in the penitentiary was the sentence meted to R. V. Tyler, a guard, and W. G. Gulley, road foreman, of the convict camp, by Judge N. A. Sinclair, at Tarboro. In these cases the State of North Carolina did its duty and inspired more confidence in the law and law enforcement than could have been the case if the North Carolina authorities had waited for the Federal Government to interfere, as in the cases in Florida, where the State authorities not only connived at the existence of convict camp abuses but the sheriff and a judge of Calhoun county, along with several camp guards, were indicted for murderous and inhuman treatment of convicts. We all feel that it is much better that the states should protect the citizen in his life and property than that the Federal Government should have to do it because the state neglects to do it. The rights not delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the states. It is vital to the maintenance of the balances and checks that have made our system of Government so strong that the states protect their interests in such a way that the Federal Government can have no excuse by Congressional or other action to usurp the rights of the states because the states neglect to exercise those rights. Protection of life and property is among the first and greatest of the rights of the several states. Recreation For Colored Citizens From the (Norfolk) Ledger-Dispatch. That the city should provide a recreation center for its colored citizens as soon as possible seems to be the idea of the Norfolk council. It is hoped that some concrete results will flow therefrom shortly. It is something which should have been done long ago. Under present conditions a large portion of the colored population of Norfolk has no convenient public place for recreation and amusement. The proposition is made to exchange some of the idle land owed by the city for other property which is suitable for the purpose in view. It is to be assumed that it will be somewhere on a waterfront. The matter is now in the hands of City Manager Causey, who may be expected to report some plan in a short time and speedy action by the council is desirable.

An Unfulfilled Duty Renewed consideration by the Council and City Manager of the colored park project is a step toward the discharge of an unfulfilled duty. It is something of an indictment against a city possessed of a colored population of 45,000—approximately 30 percent of the total number of inhabitants—that while it has provided several extensive public parks for the majority element, it has provided not a single public park for the minority. Except for a few playgrounds designed for the use of children, and except for the facilities offered by a few privately-owned vacant lots, there does not exist within the city limits a single place where colored boys may engage in a game of baseball without laying themselves open to the law. Such a discrimination in the matter of recreation facilities is not to be countenanced. It is the result, the Virginian-Pilot believes, not of a conscious desire to withhold from the colored population what it is entitled to, but of a failure until very recent years to understand that facilities for play and recreation are a prime civic necessity, to be provided for all elements of the population as much in the name of public health as in the name of racial equity. It is encouraging to find the Council and City Manager freshly concerned about this matter. Were the city's finances in better shape than they are, the Virginian-Pilot would urhe悬itatingly advise the taking up of the option which the city holds on a twenty-acre tract in Huntersville near the Lafayette River. Proximity to the water and to the central colored residential section would seem to make this a desirable park location. With the financial difficulties of the city in mind, one must hold with the Council that an exchange of other city property for this or some other suitable part site, would be better arrangement. The city owns many pieces of property which, while valuable to private interests, serve no present municipal purpose. What could be better than to get rid of some of this property and to acquire in its stead a new park; to be set aside for the enjoyment of that numerous minority of Norfolk's population that has up to the present gone parkless? Health Notes (By Associated Negro Press.) We Should Live 100 Years Some wise or otherwise old owl has said this of the vacation: "It is the shortest line between the freedom of the person and the freedom of the purse." He must have had in mind some of the summer resorts—what some of them resort to or make you resort to. Maybe so; but this is the high-brow of the happy medium for holiday welfare. Make your vacation one of time, task and territory, if you choose; but don't vacate reason, right or righteousness. Vacations don't last; you wish to return again to the associates and associations with whom and by which you pursue your perennial peace, pleasure and profit. In plain "tell 'em" of the 365 days a year, (or 366 when it decides to leap) variety: If you don't want to wake up and find yourself dead: If you don't want some of your good friends to sit up with the sick: If you don't want to be the advertisement of some famous make of bandage, crutch, or tombstone (:) Make Your Vacation Safe And Sane. Here's how: 1—Take your vacation. This is better than letting your vacation take you. Plan it wisely; enjoy it thoroughly, leave it willingly. 2—Make a vacation budget and stick to it; for woe is the vacationist whose purse does not endure and hold out to the end. 3—Get away from the old sights, strivings and sorrows, if you can possibly afford it. This need not mean Frisco or France; many way stations will do. 4—Forget your business, your job, your cares—but don't forget the "meal ticket" too well or too long. Build up, rest up, cheer up—and come back. 5—If you are country-bound or camp-bound, ask yourself this question: "Can I get a sane vacation there?" If you are city-bound, put the question thus: sane vacation there? 6—Take a vacation wardrobe. You can have party times with party clothes without taking a vacation. Fresh air and sunlight, fresh foods, outdoor exercise, real rest: Nature's play ground, you seek. 7.—Include in your baggage for emergency; Clothes for probable changes of weather; first aid kit* for sudden illness and accidents (when and where you cannot get or wait for the doctor); some things to help make good times—paraphernalia for games and stunts; radio; other musical instruments, books; etc. 8.—Beware: Amateur wiiming in professional territory. It might result in "hide and seek": No, they haven't found the body yet. Trying to find out what gasoline can do, or whether you can pass. Your tombstone might tell the tale. 9—Be mindful of your family, your friends and other folks. Vacations are rights, not licenses. 10—And finally—remember the Golden Rule; As ye would that your vacation do unto you, do ye also unto it. Don't let this be your last vacation time. The Century Life Service of the Associated Negro Press signing off. Remember thy vacation rules, all ten. On these hang the person and the purse; but the greater of these is the person. Make it Safe and Sane this year. Book Review "THE NEGRO AND HIS SONGS." A study of typical Negro Songs in the South, by Howard W. Odum, Ph. D., and Guy B. Johnson, A. M. Chapel Hill, N.C. The University of North Carolina Press. Price. $3.00. Famed in many parts of the world for his ability to express himself thru song, "The Negro and His Songs," is the subject of a deeply illuminating study by two professors of the University of North Carolina. The study is presented as part of the story of the Negro race. Saturday, June 27, 1925 "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris talks on Evolution Boy Who Climbed From Depths Where Opportunity Was Unknown What is evolution? There are two kinds of evolution—sub-organic which deals with the formation of the world—this theory of evolution aims to account for the universe without a creator. It begs the question however, for whereas the Bible says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Evolution assumes matter without accounting for it; assumes that it existed in a white hot or gaseous form without telling where the heat came from; assumes motion without telling where the motion came from—three tremendously big assumptions! Then evolution assumes that this motion was The songs studied were collected in Northern Mississippi, Northern Georgia, and a few from Tennessee and North Carolina. The songs are divided into three groups, religious, social and the ones the laborer uses as an accompaniment to his work. The absence of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," from the religious group, is a distinct surprise as this beautiful melody has long been a favorite in North Georgia. Many of the other familiar selections are there with their highly emotional appeal, showing the faith that the Negro has in a life to come, where he hopes to be recompensed for all the trials and sorrows he has borne here. That the Negro is not as simple as he some times appears, is shown by an interesting incident, experienced by a dean collecting these songs. He was sitting on a rock wall, watching a gang of laborers and enjoying their songs. Deciding to take down some of the songs, he had difficulty in getting the words. Thinking how oblivious the men were to all but their work, what was his surprise to hear these words: "White man settin' on wall "White man settin' on wall all day long, "Wastin' his time, wastin' his time." It goes without saying that the 'white man' moved on, although he enjoyed the songs none the less. The authors have made a very conscientious effort to set forth the Negro and his songs in their original form. No notice is taken of the more finished compositions of men like Coleridge-Taylor, Burleigh and Dett. Care is taken to assure us that the study does not represent the Negro as a whole but that it is representative of what may be called the illiterate Negro life. Other sociological studies are to follow, which will add to the light needed on various other phases of this absorbing topic. —HORTENSE THOMPSON HOME AND KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS HOME AND KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Department of Education and Inspiration for the Housewife - Edited By-- MARION J.

Four billion stars each sweeping along in its marvelous orbit without clash or conflict and all just happened so without any creator or any directing mind. Surely it is harder to believe that than that in the beginning God—a great wise all powerful God created the heavens and the earth. Yet this is what the so called scholars and scientists without a particle of proof would have the world turn away from God's word to believe today. --- Reprint from Brooklyn Eagle. The long, lanky black boy blinked his eyes and crept stealthily across the uneven floor of the rude log hut. The door opened to the darkness of the early morning and he slipped through, his ragged coat buttoned tightly about him—where there were buttons—and his little bundle of clothing clutched in his hands. But the biting winter wind could not cool the ardor that burned in him and drove him on, away from the poor farm of his parents in Bowman, Georgia, and toward the goal of knowledge, bright-glowing in his vivid imagination. Two hundred and forty-four miles beyond, far away in the great, unknown world, was the place where this ignorant Negro boy believed his dream could be realized. The ten cents in his pocket gave poor promise of bearing his body along with his inspired vison as it spanned that great distance, but his inadequately shod feet plodded onward and the whites of his eyes gleamed in gloom. Gets a Timely Lift Gets a Timely Lift A short distance down the road he turned aside and felt his way to the door of another log cabin much resembling that from which he had come. After a short delay the creaking of complaining hinges and heavy athmatic breathing told of another presence. The boy slipped inside while an old man moved to the fire and stirred the embers, the better to see his caller. "Tom!" came the exclamation. "What you all gain" this time in the mawkin!" "Ise gwin' to what I'll be taught to do things, like—like', the black boy's voice was hushed in aaw at the temerity of his dream, "like Booker T. Washington done". An hour later, enriched by twenty-five cents which was all that the lad's old colored friend and his sympathetic wife could find in the home he resumed his journey, stopping once again at the hut of a personal debtor from whom he collected a long over-due ten cents, part purchase price of a watermelon sold and delivered. Foot-Sore From Trump As he plodded along day after day, living as best he might from the proceeds of odd jobs, the boots he wore almost fell from his sore feet and he wrapped discarded fertilizer sacks about them to protect them from the snow which was falling constantly during that unusual winter. Once, at the end of his resources, he halted in his journey long enough to spend a half-day in the woods where, armed with a huge stick, he slaughtered eight rabbits with which he gained a welcome at a farm house in the outskirts of a town. Here, too, he discovered a man who wanted some wood cut, but who had no ax. Young Tom, a "wise" globe-trotter by this time, was able to persuade a merchant in the village to trust him for the price of the implement "for one day." After serious and concentrated study of the array of axes Tom selected one weighing six pounds, with a handle three feet long—price $1.50, and started out to cut and pile, for measurement, the three cords which at fifty cents a cord, would pay for the ax. He did it—this tall, lanky lad with the black face, the glowing eyes and the ambition to learn to "do things like Booker T. Washington done." For a week Tom cut wood to earn enough money to carry him a little farther on his journey. Finds "Wealth" There followed weeks at work in a small rock quarry and after that—wealth. Wealth it was to the happy boy—wealth which meant the fulfillment of hope—wealth to carry him to his goal—wealth—five dollars. Three months later, the long miles of weary way behind him, Tom staggered into the grounds of Tuskegee Institute, sick of body but determined of soul. Eyes glowing with excitement, burning with the fever which had attacked him, he presented himself for admission. Gravely the examining physician shook his head as he inspected the boy. "A physical wreck," he said gently. "You can't enter. You must go to your friends—it will take a long time for you to gain your strength enough to work." Slowly the look of enthusiasm faded from the face of the lad. Slowly pathos, tragedy, hopelessness took its place. And then, with that determination which can not be mastered, the square jaws snapped tight. the white teeth clicked close and the big eyes gazed steadily. ly into those of the yet, had not seen the pose of the boy's Mist. "You all can't away," said Tom. And "yog all" didn't couldn't!
